In the dim morning light, soft light shines through the gaps in the curtains and falls on the bed in the apartment, adding a bit of warmth to the room.
Su Banxia turned over and faced Lou Jiyun beside her, her eyes full of confusion and uneasiness. She asked softly, "Are you really going?"
Although she was not a timid person normally, she couldn't help but feel uneasy when she thought about meeting the parents, and her heart began to beat uncontrollably.
Lou Jiyun felt her gaze, turned his head, and a gentle smile appeared on his face. That smile was like the warm spring sun, which could dispel all the haze: "How about we talk about it next time."
His hand gently stroked the ends of Su Banxia's hair, his movements gentle, as if he was comforting a frightened deer.
In his heart, he longed to formally introduce Su Banxia to his family, but he cared more about her feelings and did not want to give her the slightest sense of oppression. In his opinion, matters of the heart cannot be rushed. If she was not ready, then he should wait patiently, as there was still a long way to go.
Su Banxia gazed at Lou Jiyun, a warm feeling welling up in her heart. She knew he was always considerate and never forced her to do anything. Their relationship was stable, and since he had already visited her home, it was only natural for her to visit Lou's.
"Change your clothes first. I'll have dinner with you later and you can go home later." Lou Jiyun sat up, tidied up his messy hair, turned to look at Su Banxia, his eyes full of doting.
Su Banxia nodded slightly. Only then did she understand that the reason why Lou Jiyun had been in a low mood recently was probably because of meeting his parents.
After all, the mood and state of mind for an ordinary visit and for visiting as a future daughter-in-law are definitely completely different.
"Professor..." Su Banxia pursed her lower lip, her delicate eyebrows slightly wrinkled, and her eyes were filled with panic and worry. "If I go back with you, wouldn't it be bad to go back empty-handed?"
She sat up straight, her hands unconsciously tugging at the quilt, "It's almost noon, and I haven't prepared anything."
When it comes to meeting Su Banxia's parents, Lou Jiyun always puts Su Banxia's feelings first.
At this moment, seeing her relax, he felt an indescribable joy in his heart, like the first spring breeze blowing through his heart.
"It's okay, my parents don't care about this." Lou Jiyun reached out and gently patted Su Banxia's shoulder, trying to reassure her.
"That won't work either. I have to pack up quickly. It would be better to buy something." Su Banxia lifted the quilt, quickly stood up, and walked quickly to the closet.
She stood in front of the wardrobe, her eyes darting back and forth between the pieces of clothing, finally picking out a simple and elegant dress. The hem of the dress was trimmed with green embroidery, like a crabapple blossom in early spring, fresh and bright after the rain.
Su Banxia, wearing a skirt, walked in front of Lou Jiyun and spun gently. The hem of her skirt lifted slightly, like a blooming flower. Her face was filled with a hint of shyness and anticipation. She asked softly, "Is this skirt okay?"
Lou Jiyun looked at her, his eyes full of admiration and love, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said gently: "Very good."
"Then let's go to the mall." Su Banxia's eyes flashed with determination.
On the eve of meeting the parents
The meeting with the parents came too suddenly, like a sudden storm, catching Su Banxia off guard.
Fortunately, Lou Jiyun was by her side. He was like a steady lighthouse, guiding her steadily and patiently giving her many practical suggestions.
Entering the mall, Su Banxia's eyes were filled with nervousness and helplessness. Her hands unconsciously clenched the corner of Lou Jiyun's clothes. She tilted her head slightly and asked softly, "Professor Lou, whose gift do you think I should choose first?"
Lou Jiyun patted her hands gently, giving her strength, and said softly: "Let my parents choose first. They are old and pay attention to health preservation. Let's go to the health product area."
The two of them arrived at the health supplement section. Su Banxia's eyes scanned the shelves eagerly, muttering to herself, "How about this one? Or is that one more suitable?"
She picked up a box of sea cucumbers and carefully studied the instructions, frowning slightly. "This looks good. I heard that sea cucumbers are good for the body and can enhance immunity. I just don't know if your parents like it."
Lou Jiyun came over, looked at the sea cucumber, and nodded: "My mother should like it. She usually likes to eat these nourishing foods. Let's see if there are any other ones to pair with it."
Su Banxia searched the shelves for a while and found a box of high-quality wolfberries. Her eyes lit up. "Professor, look at these wolfberries. They are plump and bright in color. I heard that drinking wolfberry tea regularly can nourish the liver and improve eyesight. Paired with sea cucumbers, it's perfect for uncle and aunt."
Lou Jiyun smiled and nodded: "Well, you chose it very carefully, my parents will definitely like it."
After choosing gifts for Lou Jiyun's parents, they went to the gift area to choose gifts for Lou Jiyun's eldest brother, second brother and sisters-in-law.
Su Banxia wandered between the shelves, sometimes picking up an item and carefully asking Lou Jiyun for his opinion, and sometimes putting it down and continuing to look for a more suitable one.
"How about giving this scarf to your sister-in-law?" Su Banxia picked up a light blue scarf and gestured around her neck, a hint of anticipation in her eyes. "The color is so gentle, and the texture is nice too. I think it's perfect for my sister-in-law."
Lou Jiyun looked at her with admiration in his eyes: "It's very beautiful, it suits you very well, and it suits my sister-in-law too. She usually likes this kind of elegant color."
Su Banxia's cheeks flushed slightly, and she smiled happily: "That's it."
Then, they selected exquisite fountain pens for Lou Jiyun's eldest and second brothers. Su Banxia held the pens and said seriously, "I heard that men like fountain pens. These two pens have simple and elegant designs and are of high quality. I hope my eldest and second brothers will like them."
