The pretty little follower gets targeted by the crazy guys at the elite academy

Chapter 144 Li Ruo: "Did you take your medicine?"

"Did you take your medicine?"

Zhou Si didn't answer, but just hugged her tighter.

His chin rested on her shoulder, his burning cheek pressed against the skin of her neck, rubbing greedily against her.

"...It smells so good."

His voice was muffled, as if it were being squeezed out from deep in his throat.

Why do you smell so good?

Li Ruo froze.

She could feel the changes in his body.

Those rock-hard muscles, the sudden rise in body temperature, and...

She instinctively tried to back away, but he grabbed her waist and pulled her back.

"Don't move."

He raised his head, his eyes filled with darkness.

"I told you not to move."

Li Ruo looked at him and suddenly realized something.

The man in front of her was no longer the school bully who would blush at her smile.

He is now a mature man, a gangster godfather whose hands are stained with blood and who strikes fear into the hearts of the entire city's underworld.

He was just pretending to hide his claws and fangs in front of her, acting like an ordinary boy who would be shy, nervous, and whose palms would sweat when he held her hand.

But now, that facade is cracking.

"Zhou Si,"

She lowered her voice, "You're not feeling well right now, let's..."

"I am perfectly sober."

He interrupted her, cupped her face in his large hands, and forced her to look directly at him.

"I've never been this clear-headed in my entire life."

He gently stroked her cheek with his thumb.

He continued to stare at her, his gaze raw and undisguised. Yet, that gaze was so intense it was suffocating.

The carriage was so quiet that only the breathing of the two people could be heard.

Li Ruo's heart was pounding.

She knew he was telling the truth.

All those things he had never said aloud, hidden in every glance and every closeness, were now laid bare before her.

Undisguised, naked and direct.

She took a deep breath: "Then you..."

Before she could finish speaking, he silenced her again with a kiss.

He bit her lower lip, gently grinding it with his teeth, then released and bit it again, repeating this several times, never satisfied.

"Zhou Si..."

"Don't speak."

His voice was muffled, and his breath was all over her face.

"Can I kiss you one more time?"

Before she could answer, the kiss landed.

He still kissed her fiercely, as if he wanted to devour her whole.

He gripped the back of her head with his large hand, preventing her from escaping.

With his other hand, he held her waist, firmly securing her to his lap.

Li Ruo was breathless from the kiss and subconsciously pushed against his chest.

Those muscles were as hard as stone; you couldn't move them.

"What's wrong?"

He finally regained his composure, looked down at her in his arms, his voice hoarse.

Li Ru frowned: "You...you be gentle..."

He paused for a moment, then laughed.

That smile carried a hint of roguishness, a touch of satiation, and a hint of barely suppressed madness.

"I won't let you off easily," he said. "I won't let you off easily, you old man."

He kissed her again as soon as he finished speaking, but this time he was gentler.

Li Ruo was dizzy from his kisses, and her hands somehow ended up on his shoulders.

He paused for a moment, then hugged her even tighter.

The kiss moved from the lips to the cheek, to the earlobe, to the neck.

He bit her earlobe, gently grinding it with his teeth, and poured his breath into her ear.

"Li Ruo..."

"Um……"

"You are mine."

His voice was low, carrying an undeniable domineering air.

"It can only be mine."

His large hand moved up from her waist and rested on the skin of her back, stroking it repeatedly.

"This is mine," he pressed, "it's here."

His hand moved to her heart.

"This place is mine too."

Li Ruo's heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat.

He looked up at her, his eyes brimming with possessiveness, yet also concealing a hint of cautious anticipation.

"Is that right?" he asked.

That arrogant and domineering school bully, that feared underworld boss, was now holding her, asking her questions with such seriousness and tension.

It was as if her answer could determine his life or death.

He braced himself above her, his arms on the seat, trapping her beneath him.

From this angle, his figure appeared exceptionally tall, with broad shoulders and a wide back, and the shadow he cast completely enveloped her.

"Why aren't you talking anymore, my sweetie..."

Zhou Si's voice was muffled, as if it were being squeezed out from deep in his throat.

He raised his hand, one hand gripping the back of her neck, the other hand holding her lower back, pressing her down.

Their foreheads touched.

His eyes were fixed on her, unblinking, his pupils filled with nothing but her.

"I really can't keep up the act anymore."

The pressure from the size difference made Li Ruo's heart race.

His lips pressed against her collarbone, his teeth gently grinding together, leaving faint marks.

It's both itchy and numb.

Li Ruo's breathing became completely disordered, her fingers curled up, and she grabbed the collar of his neck.

He looked up at her reaction, his dark eyes churning even more intensely.

"Comfortable?"

When he asked the question, his voice was so low it sounded like it was rolling out of his chest.

Li Ruo's face flushed from his question, and she turned her face away from him.

He wouldn't let her go, turning her face towards him and forcing her to look him in the eye.

"Look at me," he said. "I want you to look at me."

When Li Ruo met his eyes, her heart skipped a beat.

It was no longer the arrogant and domineering school bully he usually was, but a man's most primal and direct desire for a woman.

His thumb caressed her lips, his gaze lingering on them, his voice hoarse:

"What were you thinking when I kissed you just now?"

Li Ruo's ears burned from his question, and she bit her lip without answering.

He chuckled softly, a laugh tinged with a dangerous undertone.

"Not going to tell?"

His hand slid down from her waist to her thigh, gently caressing it through the fabric of her skirt.

"Then I'll kiss you until you say so."

He kissed her again as soon as he finished speaking.

This time it was more lingering and deeper than before, with an irresistible possessiveness.

His hands weren't idle either, tracing down her thigh...

Everywhere it passed was like lighting a cluster of flames.

Li Ruo felt like she was floating on clouds from his kisses. She nestled limply in his arms, clinging to his shoulders to keep her balance.

His lips finally left hers, tracing down her jawline to her neck, then down her collarbone...

His breathing became heavier and heavier.

Li Ruo vaguely sensed the changes in his body, and her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to burst out of her chest.

His hand stopped at her waist, his fingertips tracing the edge, as if hesitating, or perhaps he was holding back.

"Li Ruo".

He called to her in a hoarse voice, his forehead resting on her shoulder, his breathing heavy.

"I think..."

He didn't finish speaking, but the meaning couldn't be clearer.

The air inside the carriage seemed to freeze.

Li Ruo could hear her own heartbeat, thump-thump-thump, so loud it made her eardrums ache.

He looked up into her eyes.

Gone was the usual arrogance and domineering presence; only an intensely suppressed longing and a hint of cautious inquiry remained.

"May I?"

The school bully, who was fearless, now had a barely perceptible tremor in his voice.

Li Ruo looked at him, at the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, at his muscles trembling slightly from holding back his emotions, and at the overflowing longing and cherishing in his eyes.

Li Ruo smiled slightly, then reached out and hooked her arm around his neck, pulling him down.

She tightened her grip on his shoulders, tilted her head slightly, and kissed him.

Zhou Si was stunned for a moment, then pulled her closer and deepened the kiss.

Just as Zhou Si was kissing passionately, Li Ruo didn't push him away.

Instead, she raised her hand, ran her fingertips through his hair, gently ruffled it, and then whispered something close to his ear:

"I...am yours."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Si seemed to be completely ignited.

Kiss rained down on her, landing on her face, lips, and neck. Large hands roamed restlessly over her…

then……

Zhou Si froze for a moment.

"you……"

"Don't move." She mimicked his earlier tone, languidly:

"I told you not to move."

Zhou Si looked up at her, his eyes filled with a dark turmoil, yet also a hint of bewilderment.

Li Ruo looked at him and suddenly smiled, a smile that was different from her usual one.

It wasn't the smile of a well-behaved girl or a model student, but a smile that was playful, provocative, and unsettling.

"Zhou Si,"

She called his name softly: "Do you know what you look like right now?"

He didn't speak.

"Like a big dog in heat."

Zhou Si: "..."

His mind went blank for a second.

Li Ruo reached out and pinched his chin.

The movements were light, but the posture was forceful.

"You miss...me?" she asked.

Zhou Si's throat bobbed.

"……think."

"How long have you been thinking about this?"

He stared at her lips, his eyes dark and menacing: "From the first day you transferred schools."

Her smile deepened.

She loosened his jaw, moved her hand down, and placed it on his collar.

She hooked her index finger around his collar and gently pulled.

Zhou Si was forced to lean forward slightly.

"Then you—" She leaned close to his ear, her breath brushing against his earlobe:

"You must have had a lot of trouble thinking about it, right?"

Zhou Si looked as if he had been electrocuted, and the tips of his ears turned visibly red.

Li Ruo stepped back a little and couldn't help but laugh as she looked at his fierce yet innocent expression.

"Zhou Si, your ears are red."

"……Shut up."

Her face turned red.

"...Shut up."

Instead of shutting up, she reached out and rubbed her fingertips against his burning cheek.

"Hey, aren't you the underworld boss? Aren't you supposed to be feared by everyone?"

She tilted her head to look at him, her eyes full of mischief.

"Why are you getting shy after I only said a few words to you?"

Zhou Si stared at her with fierce and ruthless eyes, but her bright red ear tips betrayed him.

He grabbed her hand and held it in his palm.

"Li Ruo," he said in a hoarse voice, "don't provoke me."

"I provoked you?" Li Ru blinked. "Didn't you provoke me first?"

She gestured for him to look at his current posture:

He held her on his lap, wrapped her in his arms, and held her waist with his hands.

"You shoved me into the car, held me on your lap, and kissed and bit me."

She listed them one by one: "Now you're saying I provoked you?"

Zhou Si choked.

Seeing his discomfiture, Li Ruo felt quite pleased.

She raised her hand and cupped his face in her hands, this time the movement was very gentle and earnest.

"Zhou Si".

"Um?"

"Didn't you ask me if I was yours?"

His eyes narrowed.

She leaned closer, her forehead touching his.

"Then let me ask you too."

She looked into his eyes and spoke slowly and deliberately:

"Are you mine?"

Zhou Si was stunned.

That arrogant and domineering school bully, that feared underworld boss, was now being questioned by her with his face cupped in her hands, leaving him stunned.

"I……"

He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word.

He's already terrified of losing her, isn't that obvious enough?!

Li Ruo smiled, her eyes crinkling with a sly and triumphant look.

"What's wrong?"

She leaned even closer, their noses touching:

Is this question difficult to answer?

Zhou Si's Adam's apple bobbed.

He looked at the face so close to his, at his own reflection in her eyes, and suddenly felt his heart about to leap out of his chest.

He had experienced gunfights, chases, and knives to his throat, but he had never been as nervous as he was now.

"I..." His voice was terribly hoarse. "Of course I am!"

Oh shit.
