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

A hint of barely suppressed smugness flashed in Xia Qinghe's eyes, but her expression remained gentle:

"As long as you like it."

"This lingerie is made of a special material that is said to make women's skin better and their body scent more alluring."

"You're going out later, right? I just washed it for you, so why don't you try it on?"

After saying that, she patted Li Ruo's hand, her eyes full of expectation for her.

He turned back to his desk and picked up a book.

Just a moment ago, she seemed like a kind older sister who cared about her younger cousin.

But Li Ruo saw from the comments—

Xia Qinghe was secretly laughing! She couldn't suppress her smile!

[Her phone was hidden in the desk organizer! She was recording a video! From that angle, she could perfectly capture Li Ruo taking down her underwear!]

[Was she deliberately emphasizing the fabric and scent when she was offering helpful advice? Was she trying to absolve herself of responsibility? So that if something goes wrong, she can just say she was only giving away ordinary underwear!]

Li Ruo put the gift box back and closed it: "Thank you, cousin. I will wear it."

"Um."

Xia Qinghe nodded in satisfaction, turned around and went back to her desk, picking up a book.

Just a moment ago, she seemed like a kind older sister who cared about her younger cousin.

Li Ruo sat in the chair and began to apply makeup to her already strikingly beautiful face.

The movements were natural and without any abnormality.

But the moment she turned her back to Xia Qinghe, a wicked smile curled at the corner of her lips.

It's no problem for the owner of Rose Manor to drag these lunatics into the abyss.

but--

Did they want to use her to take evidence?

Want to use someone else to do your dirty work?

Do you want her to be torn to pieces by lunatics?

Sure, dear sponsor...

Let's see who this knife will end up stabbing.

-

As the incident continued to escalate and expand its influence on campus, several other outspoken individuals rushed to the scene—

As for the other protagonist in the incident, Lu Ran himself...

He was lying on the floor of the locomotive repair shop, a cigarette dangling from his lips, staring at the ceiling, his mind still replaying the soft touch on his back and the faint scent of citrus from his afternoon drive.

My phone was vibrating incessantly beside me, the screen filled with forum notifications and teasing messages from my friends.

Lu Ran impatiently grabbed his phone, glanced at it, and scoffed.

"A bunch of bored idiots."

He casually tossed his phone aside, turned over, and closed his eyes.

But a smug and wicked smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

Putting his arm around her waist?

Tsk.

It feels...not bad.

As for those rumors and the trouble that is about to come knocking?

Lu Ran licked his back teeth, a glint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

Come on.

Perfect timing, time to stretch my muscles.

By the way... let some people know that his back seat is not for just anyone to touch, nor is it for just anyone to covet.

Li Ruo?

Lu Ran recalled her words "You naughty girl" when she got out of the car, and her retreating figure like a kitten that had stolen some fish.

Oh.

interesting.

Come on, guys, let's have a fight! It's worth it for this little vixen!

-

Night falls.

Blue Bay Yacht Club, Pier 3.

The Starry Night was still brightly lit, like a pearl lost to earth on the dark blue sea.

Li Ruo arrived at the dock right on time.

She was wearing the dress that Lu Xingzhou had specified.

The champagne-colored silk slip dress has an irregular tulle hem and is just a little past the upper thigh.

As she walked, the skirt flowed lightly, revealing her slender, straight legs and dazzlingly white skin.

Her chestnut brown hair cascaded down, the ends curling slightly, and floated in the night like seaweed in the sea breeze.

She only wore light makeup.

Her alluring peach-like lips were only coated with lip balm, and her delicate features appeared even more clear and captivating under the yacht's dazzling lights.

As for that bra...

Li Ruo did put it on when she changed clothes in the dormitory.

She's not the kind of naive girl who would use herself as bait just to spite someone.

She was just thinking—

Since Xia Qinghe went to such lengths to give her this magical artifact, wouldn't it be a waste not to use it?

As for whether it's used well or not, where it's used, and on whom it's used...

That's her own business.

"Miss Li, this way please."

Lu Xingzhou's special assistant personally greeted him at the dock, with a respectful and cautious attitude.

Li Ruo followed him onto the yacht.

Unlike last time, there were no exquisite snacks and red wines laid out on the deck.

Only Lu Xingzhou stood on the ship's railing, his back to her, holding a glass of whiskey in his hand, looking at the inky black sea in the night.

He wasn't wearing a suit today.

He was wearing a simple dark shirt, with the cuffs casually rolled up to his forearms, revealing his smooth, muscular physique.

The shirt hem was loosely tucked into the trousers, outlining a slender waistline.

Two buttons were undone at the collar of the shirt, revealing the graceful curve of the collarbone.

The sea breeze tousled his hair and dispelled the air of effortless elegance he exuded.

It also added a touch of inexplicable loneliness and danger.

Lu Xingzhou knew the moment Li Ruo stepped onto the deck.

He didn't turn around.

"The dress is nice."

His voice was low and emotionless.

Li Ruo walked to his side, held onto the gunwale, and looked up at the dark sea.

"Did Senior Lu invite me over tonight just to compliment my dress?"

Lu Xingzhou did not answer.

He turned his head to the side, his peach blossom eyes appearing exceptionally deep in the night, staring intently at her.

His gaze swept from her delicate, flawless face, over her long hair tousled by the sea breeze, and landed on the faintly visible edge of lace below her collarbone.

The straps of that bra were extremely thin.

The champagne-colored dress had a low neckline, but when the wind blew, the sheer fabric fluttered, revealing just enough to glimpse the light champagne-colored lace pattern of the lingerie.

Upon seeing all this, Lu Xingzhou's breath hitched for a moment.

This dress cinches the bust and waistline very tightly.

The S-curve, a characteristic of mature women, is particularly eye-catching.

You couldn't tell from her usual dresses that this petite wildcat actually had a surprisingly voluptuous figure in this outfit.

Every part of her body was exactly what he wanted.

"No."

He lightly licked the corner of his thin lips: "I want more..."

Before he could finish speaking, as he slowly approached her, he smelled a scent.

It's not perfume, and it's not shower gel.

It was a more subtle, more alluring... warm fragrance emanating from deep within her skin.

It's almost imperceptible.

But it was like an invisible hand, gently teasing his already crumbling self-control.

"Did you change your perfume?" he asked, his voice a little hoarse.

Li Ruo blinked, looking completely innocent:

"No, it might be the smell of the sea breeze?"

Lu Xingzhou remained silent.

He turned his gaze back to the sea and took a big gulp of whiskey.

The alcohol rolled down my throat, but it couldn't extinguish the tiny flame that had inexplicably risen in my heart.

Not right.

He has been in contact with countless wealthy businessmen and socialites, and has used countless top-tier perfumes.

Nothing could evoke in him this...desire to get closer, to absorb, or even to be direct...

above,

she was.
