After ninety-nine online romances, I finally met my ex in person when school started.

Shen Tianxi's fingers pinched the soft flesh on Zhu Xunchuan's side, tightening little by little. There was no smile in her crescent-shaped eyes, only bottomless cold light.

"I'll steal it, and then... bang."

Zhu Xunchuan's back was instantly covered in a layer of cold sweat.

This girl is as crazy as she can be when she's smiling sweetly. Trying to outsmart a rich girl from the Tianjin Military Region compound is a recipe for disaster; she could easily end up with a concussion.

But his mind worked faster than a sports car engine. The three VVIP tickets Su Mucheng sent had become a ticking time bomb. At this moment, any stutter or hesitation would be keenly noticed by Shen Tianxi.

Zhu Xun Chuan grabbed Shen Tian Xi's hand, which was resting on his collarbone, and pulled her forcefully.

Shen Tianxi gasped softly and fell into his arms. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pressed her firmly against his chest.

"Sweetie, with your imagination, it's a shame you're not a screenwriter." Zhu Xun Chuan sighed, his tone revealing three parts helplessness and seven parts doting.

A head peeked out from the balcony door. Lin Yuan had been looking at the rich woman next door's Maybach, but when he heard something amiss in the dormitory, he turned around and froze on the spot.

Zhu Xun Chuan gave Lin Yuan an extremely fierce look.

"Old Lin," Zhu Xun Chuan's voice rose eight octaves, "Why did you just leave those tickets your cousin sent you lying around on my desk?"

Lin Yuan was stunned for half a second.

"I already told you, even though your cousin's family is in the event organizing business and could get VVIP tickets to Su Mucheng's concert, these tickets are too expensive." Zhu Xun Chuan continued, without changing his expression, "I originally wanted to use this as a surprise for Tian Tian tonight and take her to see it. But she found out about it beforehand, so the surprise is ruined."

At this moment, Lin Yuan's mind completed the evolution from ape-man to modern man.

Brother Chuan is going through a tribulation! He's practically shoving a detonator into his own hand!

"Ouch! My bad, my bad!" Lin Yuan slapped his thigh, instantly putting on a convincing performance, and rushed in with a pained expression. "My cousin just delivered it from the same city. I was in a hurry to see the rich woman in the building next door, so I just put it on your table!"

Lin Yuan clasped his hands together in prayer towards Shen Tianxi: "Sister-in-law, please don't misunderstand! This ticket is absolutely clean. Brother Chuan begged me for ages yesterday just to take you to the concert, he almost called me his father!"

Shen Tianxi's suspicious gaze swept back and forth between Lin Yuan and Zhu Xunchuan twice.

Lin Yuan was quick-witted and immediately went to the dormitory door. Just then, his two roommates returned from playing ball and were about to push the door open to go in.

"What are you doing here! Your stench is making my sister-in-law sick!" Lin Yuan shoved the two of them out the door, closing it behind them. "Come on, come on! We'll sit at the internet cafe together, it's on me! The dorm is for Chuan-ge tonight, nobody's coming back!"

With a "click," the door was locked from the outside.

The footsteps quickly faded into the distance, and the corridor returned to deathly silence.

The dormitory fell completely silent. The twilight light filtered through the gaps in the curtains, casting long shadows of the two people.

Shen Tianxi didn't break free from Zhu Xunchuan's embrace. Her body went limp, and she leaned against him. But her large, watery eyes remained fixed on him.

"Lin Yuan's cousin?" She tilted her head back, her eyes utterly innocent, her voice as soft and sweet as cotton candy. "Was Brother Chuan also discussing business with this organizer's cousin at the hotel the night before last?"

Her small hand traced circles on his chest, her fingertips sending a tingling sensation through the fabric of his T-shirt. "Was that the girl in the trending photo yesterday morning, wearing your shirt and showing off her long, white legs? Her legs must be really beautiful."

That's a really vicious move.

The girl's intuition was frighteningly accurate. Zhu Xun Chuan couldn't guarantee that Shen Tian hope didn't know something.

Faced with this elaborate scheme, explanation is merely a cover-up, and a cover-up is the truth. We must never try to prove ourselves by following her logic.

Zhu Xun Chuan didn't take the bait at all.

He suddenly bent down, put his hands under Shen Tianxi's legs and back, and picked her up in his arms.

"Ah!" Shen Tianxi exclaimed in surprise, her feet leaving the ground.

The hem of her floral dress slid up, revealing a large section of her dazzlingly white, shapely legs. She instinctively wrapped her arms around Zhu Xun Chuan's neck, instantly interrupting her earlier assertive attempt.

Zhu Xun Chuan carried her to his single bed and threw her onto it.

The bed frame creaked loudly.

Before Shen Tianxi could sit up, Zhu Xunchuan had already pressed down on her. His male body exerted a strong sense of pressure, locking her firmly between his arms.

His face was less than ten centimeters away from hers, his breathing was heavy, and his eyes were so deep they looked like he wanted to devour her.

"Shen Tianxi," Zhu Xun Chuan's voice was deep and domineering, brooking no argument, "You're so jealous, there aren't enough dumplings in the second cafeteria for you to dip in. Have I been too gentle with you usually, giving you the leisure to overthink things?"

Shen Tianxi's heart skipped a beat as she was stared at by that extremely aggressive gaze.

The pride she possessed as the daughter of a military officer crumbled instantly in the face of overwhelming masculine hormones and unreasonable domineering. Deep down, she was a hopeless romantic, completely smitten with this kind of behavior.

"I didn't..." She turned her head away, not daring to look him in the eye, her cheeks turning bright red at a visible speed. "I was just asking, why are you being so mean to me?"

"I didn't yell at you." Zhu Xun Chuan pinched her chin, turned her face, and forced her to look at him.

"I'll only say this once, so listen carefully." Zhu Xun Chuan stared into her eyes, enunciating each word clearly, "You are my woman, Zhu Xun Chuan's woman. Don't you realize where you stand in my heart?"

He lowered his head, his nose almost touching hers.

"I don't care about any of that trending topics, tickets, or shirts. All I care about is you lying in my bed right now." Zhu Xun Chuan's voice was a little hoarse. "You're not going anywhere tonight. Just stay here with me. If you keep thinking about anything else, I'll show you with my actions so you won't have the energy to think about anything else."

These few words hit Shen Tianxi's sore spots.

As long as Zhu Xun Chuan lowers his stance and asserts his dominance with the strongest attitude, her defenses will instantly crumble without a trace.

"Brother Chuan..."

Shen Tianxi's eyes reddened again. This time it was from embarrassment, but also from being moved.

Her face flushed, she closed her eyes, and obediently hooked her arms around Zhu Xun Chuan's neck, her voice as soft as spring water: "Okay... Sweetie will listen to Brother Chuan. As long as you have me in your heart, I'm willing to do anything."

She slightly puffed out her chest, actively yielding to his pressure.

Zhu Xun Chuan lowered his head and kissed her lips.

It's very soft. It has a hint of strawberry sweetness.

Shen Tianxi responded awkwardly, gripping the back of his neck with both hands, her nails gently digging into his skin. Her breathing quickly became rapid, and soft moans escaped her throat.

In the cramped boys' dormitory, the air seemed to be on fire.

Zhu Xun Chuan's hand moved down her cheek, along her graceful swan neck, and across her collarbone. The small mole on her face looked especially alluring in the twilight light.

His hand continued downwards, covering her slender waist.

The fabric of the floral dress was so thin that he could even feel the heat of her skin. Her waist was full and firm, with an exquisite feel. He gently lifted his fingers and slipped them inside the hem of the dress.

Shen Tianxi trembled, her legs involuntarily twisting together. Her hands gripped the hem of Zhu Xunchuan's T-shirt tightly, her breathing completely erratic.

"Brother Chuan... not here..." She closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling violently, her voice tinged with a faint sob and an intense allure, "The dorm isn't soundproof... people will hear us... and this is my first time..."

"Didn't you just say you'd do anything?" Zhu Xun Chuan chuckled softly, biting her earlobe.

"You're so bad..." Shen Tianxi whimpered, but instead of pushing his hand away, she buried her face deeper into his neck and let him do as he pleased.

The intense tension reached its peak at that moment.

Zhu Xun Chuan's rationality was being eroded by madness. Jiang Yao's club, Su Mu Cheng's hotel, and Gu Qing Han's warning were all thrown to the back of his mind.

At this moment, all he wanted was to completely conquer the sweet yet dangerous girl in his arms on this small single bed.

Just as Zhu Xun Chuan was about to make his next move, his fingers had already touched the invisible zipper on the side of Shen Tian hope's skirt.

"Click".

Suddenly, the sound of a key being inserted into the lock came from outside the door.

Immediately afterwards, the dormitory wooden door was pushed open with a bang.

"Zhu Xunchuan! Are you in there? Why did you lock the door?"

Aunt Zhang, the dormitory supervisor, shattered the tranquil atmosphere of the dormitory with her booming voice, like a thunderclap from a clear sky.

Zhu Xun Chuan reacted extremely quickly. Almost reflexively, he grabbed the thin blanket next to him and covered Shen Tianxi completely. At the same time, he quickly sat up, turning his back to the door and using his broad back to block out the situation on the bed.

Aunt Zhang stood at the door, still clutching the gleaming spare key in her hand.

But what really sent chills down Zhu Xunchuan's spine wasn't Aunt Zhang.

Instead, it was a group of people standing behind Aunt Zhang.

Dean Li of the School of Humanities, dressed in a suit and tie, was rubbing his hands together, sweating profusely. Several directors from the Academic Affairs Office stood in two rows in the corridor, each with a solemn expression.
