That night, the two still lived under the same roof, but Lou Jiyun did not act too anxious.
He knows very well that feelings need to develop step by step and cannot be rushed.
Before going to bed, he gently knocked on Su Banxia's door. A gentle voice came through the door: "Xia Tian, are you asleep? I came to say good night to you."
When Su Banxia heard the sound, she hurriedly tidied up her messy hair and ran over to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, she saw Lou Jiyun standing at the door with a gentle smile on his face and eyes full of doting.
"Good night." Lou Jiyu said softly, with a hint of imperceptible tenderness in his voice.
Su Banxia's cheeks flushed slightly as she softly replied, "Good night."
The two of them just stood at the door, chatting back and forth, from the fun things that happened during the day to their aspirations for the future, and unknowingly they had been chatting for a long time.
As the night deepened and the air became cooler, the two reluctantly said good night to each other and went back to their rooms to rest.
Su Banxia lay in bed, her mind replaying the events of the entire day. She covered her head with the quilt, but even so, her face flushed and her heart pounded. The corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously, her heart filled with sweetness and happiness.
In the next few days, Su Banxia moved back to her previous apartment, which was closer to Lou Jiyun's apartment and provided great convenience for their dates.
One day, the sun was shining and the sea breeze was blowing gently.
After Lou Jiyun and Su Banxia finished their meal, they went to the beach hand in hand, ready to take a yacht out to sea to see the brilliant starry sky.
"Professor Lou, we're going out to sea." The person in charge of the yacht recognized Lou Jiyun at a glance, and a smile spread across his face. When he saw that Lou Jiyun was accompanied by a girl, a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but look at Su Banxia twice more.
"Are you seasick?" The person in charge asked Su Banxia politely with concern in his eyes.
Su Banxia shook her head, her eyes gleaming with excitement as she said, "I shouldn't feel dizzy. I've never been on a yacht in my life, and I'm really looking forward to it."
"It's all in there with the seasickness medicine, and there's also this life jacket. You'd better put it on first." The person in charge patiently reminded the precautions, and while speaking, he prepared to get a life jacket for Su Banxia.
But at this moment, he saw that Lou Jiyun was one step faster than him. He had skillfully picked up the life jacket and handed it to Su Banxia.
The wind is strong at sea today, so safety is of paramount importance.
Su Banxia took the life jacket and was about to put it on herself when Lou Jiyun bent down slightly, his movements gentle and natural.
He carefully helped Su Banxia zip up her clothes, and with both hands carefully tightened the front collar and the straps in front of her body, doing every move meticulously.
After putting it on, he checked it again to make sure the life jacket was worn tightly.
The person in charge standing by was stunned. He never expected that Professor Lou, who was usually calm and reserved, could be so thoughtful and considerate.
"Professor Lou, I'm fine." Su Banxia turned her head slightly and caught a glimpse of the yacht manager staring at her intently. A blush instantly appeared on her face and an inexplicable shyness surged in her heart.
Although she and Lou Jiyun were in a sweet relationship, they were still restrained in front of others and rarely acted too intimately.
After all, in the circle of Beijing, their every move may be closely watched, and they have to be cautious.
Lou Jiyun followed Su Banxia's gaze and glanced at the person in charge. He nodded slightly and replied softly, "Yeah."
Then he reached out and gently supported Su Banxia's arm, his movements natural and considerate, as if this was the most natural thing for him to do.
While helping Su Banxia onto the yacht, Lou Jiyun was very careful with every move, fearing that she might make the slightest mistake.
He first stood firmly on the yacht's step, one hand tightly holding the railing, the other hand tightly grasping Su Banxia's hand, his eyes focused and serious, while whispering: "Slow down, watch your step."
With his help, Su Banxia successfully boarded the yacht.
This series of thoughtful care left the yacht manager on the side stunned.
He had always known that Professor Lou was a person who was not willing to get close to others, and he usually looked cold and distant. But the scene before him was completely different from the Professor Lou he had in mind.
Moreover, the little girl called him professor, but in his understanding, Lou Jiyun had never been the kind of person who would be so considerate and caring towards students. The relationship between them was really hard to understand.
The yacht slowly sailed away from the shore and headed towards the depths of the sea.
The person in charge stood on the beach, looking at the yacht going further and further away, his heart full of doubts.
Logically speaking, if we go out to sea in the afternoon, we should be back in the evening.
But he waited and waited, from sunset to dusk, but there was no sign of the yacht.
A feeling of worry gradually welled up in his heart, fearing that Lou Jiyun might have encountered some unexpected situation while going out to sea.
Finally, he couldn't hold back his worries, so he took out his cell phone and called Lou Jiyun.
After the call was connected, he hurriedly asked, "Professor Lou, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Lou Jiyun's voice came from the other end of the phone, calm and steady, without a trace of panic.
"When will you return?" the person in charge asked, his eyes fixed on the sea.
"I'm not going back tonight. Don't worry, I have experience at sea, so I'll be fine."
“…”
When the person in charge heard this answer, he was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.
