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

Lu Xingzhou placed his palm on her thigh and slowly slid it upwards.

The hem of her skirt was pushed up.

Piled up at waist level

Exposing a large expanse of fair skin.

"You just said you were taking a bath."

His lips brushed against her ear, his voice as low as the gentle plucking of a cello string:

"Soaked for ten minutes."

His fingers hooked around her...edge, and slowly pulled her down.

"So now we..."

His lips pressed against her neck, gently kissing and nibbling:

"Shouldn't we do something we do while taking a bath?"

Li Ruo's face was burning hot.

Her fingers gripped his shoulders, her nails digging into his shirt.

"Lu Xingzhou...you're crazy...he's right outside..."

"Um."

His lips moved to her collarbone, his voice muffled: "I really am crazy, so my sweetheart you must not hold anything back from me."

When he was... Li Ruo...

She bit her lower lip hard, swallowing the words back, and her eyes instantly reddened.

Lu Xingzhou stopped.

His forehead pressed against hers, his breathing was heavy, and his heart was pounding so fast it felt like it was going to jump out of his chest.

"Is that expression because you're nervous?" he asked. "Or are you looking forward to your brother?"

Li Ru shook her head.

She just looked at him, her eyes glistening with tears, panic, and something else she couldn't quite put her finger on.

Lu Xingzhou looked at her face.

She bit her lip, her eyes red, like a little animal that had been bullied badly but dared not make a sound.

His heart softened for a moment.

But the next second he kissed her fiercely.

This kiss was deep, so deep it felt like he wanted to melt her into his body.

His tongue traced every corner of her mouth, entwining with her tongue, curling and sucking, giving her no room to escape.

He was unhurried and always did things at just the right time.

Her breathing became more and more rapid, and those faint sounds leaked out from between her lips, which he swallowed whole.

Outside the door, Zhou Si's footsteps drew closer again.

"Li Ruo?"

His voice came through the door, tinged with unease:

"Are you really okay? I feel like something's wrong with you."

Li Ruo's body tensed up suddenly, her fingers gripping Lu Xingzhou's shoulders tightly.

Lu Xingzhou stopped.

He looked up at her.

Her eyes were full of tears, her lips were bitten until they turned white, and she was trembling all over.

Answer him.

His lips were close to her ear, his voice so low that only she could hear it:

"Otherwise, he'll come in."

Li Ruo took a deep breath, trying to make her voice sound normal:

"I'm fine."

"Your voice still doesn't sound right."

Zhou Si's voice held a hint of firmness: "Are you feeling unwell? I'm coming in."

"Don't!"

Li Ruo's voice rose, tinged with panic: "Don't come in!"

There was a moment of silence outside the door.

"Why?" Zhou Si asked, his voice lowering.

Li Ruo's mind raced.

Lu Xingzhou made her breath catch in her throat again.

"I...I'm not wearing any clothes," she said.

There was silence for a few seconds outside the door.

Then Zhou Si's voice came in, softer than before: "Then get dressed and call me. I'll wait for you at the door."

His footsteps retreated a few steps, but he did not leave.

Li Ruo breathed a sigh of relief, leaned against the wall, and gasped for breath.

Lu Xingzhou looked at her, a slight smile playing on his lips.

He said he'd be waiting for you at the door.

His lips brushed against her ear, his voice low as if he were telling a secret:

"Should we... hurry up?"

He didn't wait for her reply.

He gripped her waist and lifted her off the wall.

The mirror was right in front of her.

She can see her own reflection.

Her hair was disheveled, her face was flushed as if it were on fire, her lips were very red, and her neck was covered with red marks.

She could also see him behind her.

Lu Xingzhou stood behind her, a few buttons undone on his shirt, revealing his lean chest.

His hair was a little messy, with stray hairs hanging down in front of his forehead, covering one eyebrow.

His eyes shone brightly in the dim light, like two dark flames.

"Look in the mirror."

His lips brushed against her ear, his voice low and seductive: "Make sure you see who's touching you."

then……

In the mirror, her brows were furrowed, her eyes were red-rimmed, and her lips were bitten until they turned white.

In the mirror, his gaze was deep, his jawline was taut, and a thin layer of sweat beaded on his forehead.

His hand rested on her waist, slowly, but very…

Li Ruo's body was trembling.

Her knees buckled, and she could barely stand, only supported by his hands clasped around her waist.

"Lu Xingzhou..."

Her voice was broken and intermittent, so soft it sounded like she was begging for mercy:

"You're crazy..."

"Yes."

His voice was incredibly hoarse, his lips pressed against the back of her neck, his breathing heavy.

"I'm the crazy guy who foolishly waited for you for five years."

The water from the tap was still flowing, dripping and mingling with their breathing.

Are you crying?

Zhou Si's voice outside the door suddenly changed, becoming low and carrying a dangerous undertone:

"Li Ruo, are you crying?!"

"no."

Li Ruo tried her best to keep her voice steady: "I...I was yawning."

Lu Xingzhou let out a very soft laugh behind her.

His lips brushed against her ear, and he whispered in a voice only she could hear:

"Yawning? You look so cute when you lie."

Lu Xingzhou laughed, and his movements became even more violent.

Are you sure you're alright?

Zhou Si's voice came closer, so close it was as if he were pressed against the door:

"I heard some noise inside."

"It's...it's the sound of water."

Li Ruo's voice was broken, "I'm...I'm relieving myself."

The commotion inside grew louder and louder.

"Li Ruo!"

Zhou Si's voice suddenly rose: "You—"

"I bumped into something!"

Li Ruo spoke before him, her voice urgent and flustered:

"I bumped into... a water tap. Ouch."

Lu Xingzhou curled his lips slightly and smiled smugly.

It was quiet outside the door.

It was quiet for a long time.

Then Zhou Si's voice came in, much softer than before: "Be careful. Do you want me to come in and help you?"

"Need not!"

Li Ruo's voice rose: "No need... I'm fine. I'm really fine."

In the corridor, Zhou Si leaned against the wall and lit a cigarette.

The smoke drifted down the corridor, blurring his silhouette.

He stared at the closed door at the end of the corridor, his eyes unreadable.

She was clearly crying.

He could tell.

Her voice was hoarse, her eyes were definitely red, and her breathing sounded erratic.

She said she was taking a bath, but a bath shouldn't make someone cry, right?

His fingers held a cigarette, and the ash fell to the ground, crumbling into a grayish-white powder.

He was enduring it.

He resisted the urge to push open that door, resisted the urge to ask her why she was crying, and resisted the urge to think about the answer he feared most.

He searched for her for five years, hid her for three days, and watched over her for three days and nights.

He thought he had won.

He thought that by keeping everyone outside the island, she would be his.

But she had hickeys on her neck, her voice was hoarse, and her eyes were red.

He didn't even dare to ask.

Because he was afraid the answer would be something he couldn't handle.

Zhou Si took a deep drag of his cigarette, the smoke exhaling from his nostrils, swirling and dissipating in the air.

At the end of the corridor, the door was still closed.

The sound of water is still ringing.

He closed his eyes, stubbed out his cigarette on the wall, leaving a small, charred mark.

"Boss?"

The bodyguard's voice came from downstairs.

Zhou Si opened his eyes, which appeared particularly deep in the smoke.

"What is it?"

"A small submersible has been spotted in the waters to the east and is rapidly approaching the island."

Zhou Si's expression changed.

The change was subtle, from deep and mysterious to sharp and piercing, like a knife being slowly drawn from its sheath.

He took one last look at the door, then turned and went downstairs.

"Activate Level Two Alert. Everyone, follow me."

The footsteps faded into the distance.

In the bathroom, Lu Xingzhou continued his actions.

His breathing became heavier and heavier.

His lips pressed against the back of Li Ruo's neck, his teeth gently biting and sucking on that skin.

Li Ruo's body was trembling.

She could feel herself about to give up.

My knees were buckling, my fingers were trembling, and I barely had the strength to bite my lip.

"Lu Xingzhou..."

Her voice was so soft it sounded like she was pleading, "That's enough..."

"Call me by my name."

His lips brushed against her ear, his voice hoarse: "Louder."

"Lu Xingzhou..." her voice trembled with tears, "You...you..."

"What about me?"

A slight smile played on his lips, but his movements became more forceful. "What's wrong with me?"

Li Ruo was speechless.

Her mind went blank, leaving only her body's most primal reactions.

Her hands couldn't hold onto the sink anymore, and she slid down, but Lu Xingzhou scooped her up and held her in his arms.

He's gone.

Li Ruo's body slowly relaxed, and she leaned against him, breathing heavily.

Lu Xingzhou held her in his arms, gently patting her back as if soothing a frightened cat.

"What you just did..."

His lips brushed against the top of her head, his voice tinged with amusement:

"She's a very good actress."

Li Ruo did not speak.

She buried her face in the crook of his neck, unwilling to lift it.

"but."

He hooked his fingers around her chin, forcing her to look at him: "When you call my name, you seem so alluring."

Li Ruo's eyelashes trembled.

Lu Xingzhou looked into her eyes, those eyes that always held a smile, but now they were filled with seriousness.

"Ruoruo," he said softly, "I still want you to call me that just now."

Li Ruo did not speak.

She just stared at the man who had just trapped her on the sink and forced her to call his name countless times, and at the madman who hadn't stopped moving even outside Zhou Si's door.

She raised her fingers and placed them on his cheek.

His skin was burning hot, flushed from the lingering effects of passion.

Her fingertips traced his cheekbones, his brows, his nose, and finally stopped at his lips.

"Lu Xingzhou".

She called his name, her voice soft and gentle, like a petal falling onto the water.

His breathing stopped for a moment.

"What you just did..."

Her fingertips pressed against his lips, feeling their warmth.

"Was it intentional?"

Lu Xingzhou did not answer.

He simply looked at her, a slow smile curving his lips.

The curve is very shallow, so shallow that it is almost invisible.

But Li Ruo saw it.

She saw what was hidden in that curve—not pride or provocation, but a deeper, darker possessiveness.

He knew Zhou Si would come.

He knew Zhou Si would hear the sound of water.

He knew Zhou Si would have doubts.

But he didn't stop.

Because he wanted Zhou Si to know.

Not now, but someday.

He wanted everyone to know that even on Zhou Si's territory, she belonged to him.

Li Ruo moved her fingers away from his lips and onto his chest.

She could feel his heartbeat, thump-thump-thump, fast and strong, like some kind of declaration.

"You're insane," she said. "A complete and utter madman."

He is no longer the innocent, three-second-old college student he was five years ago.

At this moment, he is a naive, impulsive, and commercially savvy tyrant who has watched countless films.

She almost couldn't resist his plundering every time.

Fortunately, she survived in his arms.

Lu Xingzhou wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes with his thumb and licked them.

"I'm sorry," his voice was hoarse, "but I couldn't help it."

His lips pressed against her eyes, taking all the remaining tears into his mouth.

Then the tip of the nose, the cheeks, the corners of the mouth...

Every kiss was light, as light as an apology.

"Ruoruo".

His lips pressed against hers, his voice muffled: "Do you know how beautiful you are?"

Li Ruo said, slightly annoyed, "I know!"

"Especially now."

His lips moved to her jawline and gently bit her:

"Her face was red, her eyes were red, and her lips were red...like a ripe strawberry."

"Shut up..." Her voice was so hoarse it didn't sound like her own.

Lu Xingzhou smiled.

The smile was very light and faint, but there was light in her eyes.

"Okay, I'll shut up," he said.

Then he kissed her.

Outside the door, Zhou Si arrived silently again. He leaned against the wall, looking down at his phone.

The bodyguard messaged: "Boss, Lu Xingzhou isn't in the reception room. We checked the security footage; he went upstairs. About... an hour ago."

Zhou Si: "!!!"

Damn it!!

How could he have forgotten that cunning old fox?!

He turned to look at the closed bathroom door, his pupils suddenly contracting.

The sound of water is still ringing.

Li Ruo's voice came through the crack in the door, intermittent and unclear, it was uncertain whether she was talking to anyone.

"Li Ruo!!!"

Zhou Si's voice came in from outside the door again, like a trapped beast that could no longer restrain itself:

"If you don't open the door after I count to three, I'm kicking it down!"
