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

In a narrow, dark space in the room, Jiang Wu shrunk his body to a tiny size, his knees pressed against his chest, his whole body curled up into a small ball.

Like a young animal hiding in a tree hole, quiet, alert, waiting for the next night to fall.

His eyes shone brightly in the darkness.

Through the narrow gap, he saw Li Ruo turn over, and the shoulder strap of her nightgown slipped down a little more.

His Adam's apple bobbed, and he lightly touched the screen with his fingertips, tracing her outline through the cold glass.

"elder sister……"

His voice was very soft, as soft as a sigh:

"The puppy is well hidden. No one can find it."

The faint light from the screen reflected on his face—a pale face, amber eyes, and an innocent smile at the corner of his mouth.

It's heartbreaking, yet it also sends chills down your spine.

He reached out and pulled something out from the side.

It was the one that was taken off Li Ruo last night.

He gently pressed his face against his skin and took a deep breath.

The scent above is the comforting smell that comes from my sister.

"elder sister……"

He closed his eyes, and the smile on his lips deepened:

"The puppy is so good. The puppy will hide well. Tonight... Sister will reward the puppy."

He hugged the set of underwear, then curled up into a ball again, staring at the sleeping face outside the crack, the smile on his lips never fading.

Zhou Si's men searched the island all night.

From the main building to the annex, from the beach to the reef area, from the ground to the underground bunker, every corner was searched three times.

The bodyguards used thermal imaging cameras to scan the entire island inch by inch, not even missing a single rat.

There was nothing there.

As dawn approached, the bodyguard captain stood before Zhou Si, steeling himself:

"Boss, no. No trace of any intruders has been found on the island."

Zhou Si sat on the sofa in the living room, holding the folding knife in his hand, the blade twirling between his fingertips.

His face was ashen, and his jawline was so taut it looked like it was about to snap.

He saw the hickey with his own eyes and smelled the salty, fishy smell of the sea.

How come I can't find it?

"Continue the search."

His voice was unusually calm. "Expand the search area, even the seabed."

The bodyguard captain paused for a moment, but he didn't ask anything and turned to leave.

The living room fell silent again. Zhou Si closed his eyes, the image from just now replaying in his mind: that pale red mark on that section of white neck.

It was fresh and still warm; someone had left it while she was asleep.

His fingers tightened, the blade sliced ​​across his fingertips, and blood seeped out, but he seemed not to feel the pain.

That person is still on the island, he must still be there.

But even with 300 armed bodyguards, thermal imaging cameras, and island-wide surveillance, they couldn't find a single person.

Zhou Si suddenly stood up and walked upstairs.

-

When Li Ruo woke up, sunlight had already filled the entire bedroom.

She blinked, adjusted her eyes to the light, and stretched.

The straps of her nightgown slipped down, revealing a section of bare shoulder. She lazily pulled them back up, her gaze fixed on the ceiling.

The dream from last night still lingers in my mind.

In her dream, it seemed like someone was holding her tightly, as if they were afraid she would disappear.

The person smelled of seawater and had a faint scent of paint.

I kissed the back of her neck, her shoulders, her collarbone, and every inch of her skin.

The kiss was light and gentle, as light as a feather falling on water, yet it carried a breathtaking devotion.

Li Ruo touched her lips, feeling as if someone had touched them there...

She sat up and rubbed her eyes.

The neckline of the nightgown was loose, revealing a large area of ​​her chest with several light red marks on it.

She looked down and froze.

That's... a hickey?

[Aaaaaaah, my sister's awake!!!]

Sister, you're finally awake! Do you know what happened last night?!

She touched her lips! She felt it!

She looked down at her chest! She saw a hickey! She froze!

Li Ruo stared at the red mark on her chest, touched it, and then touched it again to confirm it carefully.

It's definitely a hickey, fresh, not something she pinched herself.

It wasn't left by Zhou Si yesterday.

Her gaze swept across the entire bedroom; the French windows were open, and the white curtains swayed gently in the sea breeze.

The bathroom door was closed, and the wardrobe door was closed as well. There was no one else in the room besides her.

But there was a faint smell in the air, not the salty smell of seawater, but the smell of pigment and turpentine.

After he kissed you, he looked up at you and asked, "Sister...do you want some?"

Yes! He asked it in such an innocent tone! Like a puppy tilting its head and looking at you!

Then he said, "The puppy wants a sister too."

Finally, he said, "So if my sister wants it, she can have the puppy."

Li Ruo buried her face back into the blanket.

Under the covers, she bit her lip, her heart pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her chest.

That little madman... how could he say those things in that tone?

She took several deep breaths to calm her flushed face.

The comments continued:

He held you all night while you slept! He only hid before dawn!

[Zhou Si almost discovered him when he came to check the rooms! But he hid it too well!]

He's hiding somewhere in this room right now! Waiting to sneak another bite tonight!

Li Ruo stopped moving.

Now?

In this room?

She slowly and subtly scanned the entire room out of the corner of her eye.

Under the bed? No. Behind the curtains? No. The wardrobe? Seems like it. The bathroom? The door is open, and no one is inside.

There was nothing there.

But the comments section doesn't lie to her.

She's looking! She's scanning the room out of the corner of her eye!

Don't bother looking, he's hidden very well.

Zhou Si's men searched all night but couldn't find him! His specialty is hiding!

Li Ruo yawned casually.

So...where exactly is that puppy hiding?

She simply crawled out from under the covers, took a deep breath, as if she were making some important decision.

She picked up her phone from the bedside table and glanced at it.

No signal.

Comments floated by in time:

Zhou Si has blocked the signal on the island! No one can contact the outside world!

[Does he intend to keep Li Ruo locked up here for life?]

[I never expected that someone would raid my base first, hahaha!]

Li Ruo put down her phone and got out of bed.

She frowned, sat up, and walked barefoot across the soft carpet to the dressing table.

In the mirror, she looked sleepy, her hair was messy, and one of the straps of her silk nightgown had slipped down, revealing half of her shoulder.

Then she saw the red mark on the side of her neck.

It's not deep, just shallow, but it's definitely there.

Li Ruo leaned closer to the mirror and pressed her finger against it. It hurt; it was a real hickey.

[Now it's definitely a hickey! Jiang Wu kissed me last night! He kissed me for a long time!]

If you don't believe me... why don't you check the other parts of your body?

【But they've all been thoroughly cleaned by Jiang Wu, I give that service five stars!!!】

Li Ruo's gaze shifted downwards, and the corner of her mouth twitched.

Her face slowly flushed, even the tips of her ears turned red.

She pressed her hands against the hickeys on her body, trying to cover them up.

But it can't be covered up; there's too much of it.

Li Ruo's face was already flushed. She stared at herself in the mirror, at the red marks on her neck, her collarbone, and...

She took a deep breath, then another.

Then she calmly picked up the comb and began to comb her hair.

Why is she so calm?

[Shouldn't a normal girl scream when she sees a hickey?!]

【Li Ruo, your calmness is frightening!】

Li Ruo was indeed very calm. She didn't even glance at the room twice. She simply combed her hair, changed her clothes, and acted as if nothing had happened.

She knew Jiang Wu was under the bed! But she didn't ask!

She did it on purpose! She wants to pretend this never happened!

Jiang Wu was waiting for her reaction in some dark corner, but she acted as if nothing had happened... That's too cruel!

[It's not ruthlessness, it's protection! If she shows any abnormality, Zhou Si will investigate even more thoroughly! Jiang Wu won't be able to hide anymore!]

In a dark and cramped corner of the room, Jiang Wu huddled at the very back, her back against the wall and her knees tucked to her chest.

He could hear her footsteps, the sound of her combing her hair, and the rustling of fabric as she changed her clothes.

Every sound penetrated his ears, so clear it was as if it were right next to him.

The older sister didn't scream.

My sister saw the hickey, but she didn't say anything.

"Li Ruo!"

Zhou Si's voice came from outside the door, followed by hurried footsteps.

He pushed the door open and came in, still clutching the folding knife in his hand. When he saw Li Ru sitting on the bed, he paused.

Li Ruo looked at him and blinked: "What's wrong? Why are you so fierce first thing in the morning?"
