"It's quite a coincidence." Su Banxia agreed with a dry laugh. At this moment, she was so nervous that her palms were sweating and fine beads of sweat were sliding down her palms.
Obviously, the relationship between her and Lou Jiyun was perfectly legitimate, but she felt for no reason that their relationship at the moment was like an affair. Her heart was filled with anxiety and uneasiness. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and her eyes wandered around in panic. She didn't dare to look at Lou Jiyun for too long.
"You came alone?" Lou Jiyun asked knowingly, continuing to chatter nonsensically. The group photos on Su Banxia's social media feed still vividly flashed through his mind. He knew she was out with her brothers and sisters-in-law, but he deliberately kept it to himself, just to see her reaction.
"No, with my second brother and Sister Yunie." Su Banxia answered truthfully. While speaking, her fingers kept fiddling with the corners of her clothes. There was a hint of confusion in her eyes. She didn't understand why Lou Jiyun asked this.
Lou Jiyun nodded gently, responded, and then asked, "Where are they?"
"They were just here, and now they're gone." Su Banxia frowned, a hint of confusion on her face. She subconsciously took out her phone and said in a panic, "I'll call and ask."
Su Banxia's finger slid quickly across the screen, found Qu Qingdai's phone number, and pressed the dial button.
The call was quickly connected, and before Su Banxia could even ask, she heard Qu Qingdai's slightly teasing voice coming from the receiver: "Xia Xia, you finally remembered to look for us? We specifically told you before we left, but you were too busy photoshopping and didn't take it to heart. I even offered to stay with you, but you waved me off and said no. Now you don't even remember a thing."
Su Banxia's face flushed crimson instantly, a flicker of embarrassment and regret in her eyes. She quickly explained, "Oh, I really don't remember. I was so focused on photoshopping. Where are you guys now?"
…
After ending the call with Qu Qingdai, Su Banxia thought to herself that if she suggested going to find them at this moment, given Lou Jiyun's personality, he would probably take the initiative to send her there.
But once we meet, with my second brother's scheming nature, there's no guarantee that he'll come up with some weird ideas in his mind, and all kinds of teasing and joking will be inevitable. It's embarrassing just thinking about it.
After much thought, she decided to wait there. She turned her head and looked at Lou Jiyun beside her. After hesitating for a moment, she said softly, "I want to wait here for my brother and the others to come back. Then you..."
"I'll accompany you." Lou Jiyun said firmly without any hesitation.
“…” Su Banxia opened her mouth slightly, wanting to say something, but was speechless for a moment.
She glanced around and found that the few chairs were already occupied. Standing there for two people was not a good idea. After thinking for a moment, she suggested, "Why don't we just take a walk and come back later."
Lou Jiyun nodded slightly to indicate his agreement.
So the two of them walked forward side by side.
The street was bustling with hawking and laughter. Stalls were lined up side by side, displaying a dazzling array of goods that was too much to take in.
The snack stalls are filled with tempting aromas, and all kinds of delicious snacks exude unique charms; and those sparkling internet celebrity balloons sway gracefully in the night sky, attracting the attention of children.
What Su Banxia found most incredible was that on the night of the Dragon Boat Festival, someone was actually selling roses.
When they approached a flower stall, the stall owner spotted them and immediately called out enthusiastically, "Handsome guy, buy a bunch of flowers for your girlfriend."
Su Banxia's cheeks instantly became hot, and the heat that had just been blown away by the autumn wind suddenly came back again.
A trace of panic flashed in her eyes, and she quickly waved her hands and explained to the stall owner: "He is not my boyfriend."
Lou Jiyun raised his eyebrows slightly, his expression still as calm as water, without the slightest change. His gaze lightly swept across the stall owner, and then fell on Su Banxia's face. A barely perceptible emotion flashed in his deep eyes.
"Even if you're not my boyfriend, you can still buy one." The stall owner kept smiling as he persisted.
"I won't buy it." Su Banxia blurted out. After that, she grabbed Lou Jiyun's arm and left the stall quickly and anxiously.
The two continued walking forward and accidentally saw a stall selling coconut milk.
"Do you want to drink?" Lou Jiyun stopped, turned his head to look at Su Banxia, and asked softly.
Su Banxia's eyes lit up, and she nodded without hesitation, saying, "I'll go buy it. I can't always let you treat me."
After saying that, she walked towards the stall without waiting for Lou Jiyun's response.
Lou Jiyu stood there, looking at her back quietly, lost in thought.
There was a hint of contemplation in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were slightly turned down. He always felt that Su Banxia was particularly polite to him tonight, and there was a sense of deliberately keeping a distance between her words and actions.
This made him feel inexplicably unhappy.
He could probably guess what Su Banxia was thinking. She was simply worried that her brothers and sisters-in-law would see her, which would cause unnecessary misunderstandings and troubles. Was he really so shameful to her?
The two of them each held a cup of coconut milk. Lou Jiyun tilted his head back and drank it in big gulps, his Adam's apple rolling up and down. His movements were very quick and decisive, and in a short while, the coconut milk in his hand was gone.
Su Banxia, on the other hand, bit the straw gently and sipped slowly, as if savoring the flavor. Her eyes wandered around from time to time, and her steps seemed a little absent-minded, as she walked forward casually.
