Border Prisoner: The Mad Boss Seduces Her Every Night

The e-sports room was so quiet that only the background music playing on a loop in the game lobby could be heard.

The sea breeze hit the floor-to-ceiling windows, making a very faint muffled sound.

Shi Luyu sat in her gaming chair, one hand still holding the half-finished bottle of sparkling water she had just drunk, the water droplets condensed on the bottle wall slowly trickling down between her fingers.

It was cold, but she felt nothing.

Just seconds before, the message Null sent was still quietly displayed in the center of the screen.

Lulu and Shi Luyu stared at those two words.

At first, she didn't even react, but after two or three seconds, her body, which had been loosely leaning against the back of the chair, gradually straightened up.

What? How does Null know her name is Lulu?

It's not a game ID.

It wasn't any nickname she had used in the team.

Instead, it's Lulu. That's the name only people close to her call her in real life.

The smile on Shi Luyu's face vanished completely, and an inexplicable chill slowly crept up her spine.

Perhaps it was because of the perverted Xu Yuanjia around that she became particularly sensitive to this aspect.

She glanced around the gaming room instinctively. The door was closed, the curtains were open, and outside was blinding sunlight and the endless sea. The room was completely empty; there was no one else there but her.

At this moment, Shi Luyu inexplicably had the illusion that she was being watched by someone.

She didn't like this feeling.

It could even be said that—

disgust.

Since arriving in Southeast Asia, it seems she has lost all sense of privacy.

It was Xu Yuanjia who started it.

Where she lived, who she met, where she went every day, and what she said to whom.

He seemed to always know which flight she took, what she bought, and which border crossing she planned to use to leave.

Later it was the Xu family.

People she didn't know at all were able to call her by name accurately, know who she was, and know what had happened between her and Xu Yuanjia.

It seems like it's all they have to do.

All the information about her could be compiled into a thin document, printed out at will, and placed on anyone's desk.

Even random strangers you meet in a game are like this now.

Shi Luyu felt a strange tightness in her chest. She even began to recall if she had inadvertently revealed anything.

No, at least she doesn't remember it.

All Null knew was that her in-game ID was "Don't Arrest Me Today".

They've never even exchanged real-world contact information, so how would he know?

Shi Luyu's fingers tightened around her phone, the light from the screen reflecting into her dark brown pupils.

After a while, she gradually came to her senses and placed her thumb on the input box.

【Don't arrest me today: ?】

send.

Almost the very next second after the message popped up.

"Ding." The other end replied instantly.

[Null: Can't guess who I am, Lulu?]

Shi Luyu's eyes immediately turned cold.

I know her, I really do know her.

Moreover, judging from the tone of their voices, they seemed quite familiar with each other, so she didn't try to guess what they meant.

Even the slight goodwill that had initially arisen from the game was quickly suppressed by vigilance at this moment.

【Don't arrest me today: I don't want to guess.】

【Don't arrest me today: I'm not interested in guessing.】

It paused for a second.

Article 3.

【Don't arrest me today: If you don't tell me, I'll delete you from my friend list.】

This time, there was silence on the other end for a few seconds.

Then--

Null: My sister's temper has gotten worse lately. (^^)

"..." Shi Luyu's brow twitched suddenly.

younger sister?

She stared at those two words, and inexplicably felt that something was wrong.

This title... and that old-fashioned smiley face symbol that comes with it.

The strange feeling in her heart grew stronger and stronger.

【Don't arrest me today: ...?】

Null did not provide a direct answer.

The chat box briefly displayed "typing" at the top, then disappeared and reappeared.

Like the person on the other side of the screen, they are also wondering where to begin.

After about ten seconds, the message finally arrived.

Null: Twenty-three yuan and fifty cents.

Shi Luyu: "?"

What is that?

Before she could even ask, the next message popped up.

[Null: A public transport card.]

Null: Two orange candies.

Shi Luyu's fingers, which were about to type, suddenly stopped at the top of the screen.

Twenty-three yuan and fifty cents.

Orange candy.

These seemingly unrelated things, when put together, resemble a rusty key that has been sturdy for years and is suddenly inserted into a lock.

Click.

A very soft sound.

A door that hadn't been opened for many years slowly cracked open in the depths of memory.

Shi Luyu's eyes widened slightly in surprise. No way.

Suddenly, an image flashed through her mind of an old, peeling tin box with a silly pink rabbit on the lid.

That was when she was nine years old.

/

Shi Luyu actually ran away from home when she was a child.

To be precise, it meant preparing to leave home and travel.

She was nine years old that year, and she can't remember exactly why she was scolded.

It seems like it was because she secretly took out a new set of jewelry that her mother had bought to play with, or it seems like it was because she didn't do well on her exams and lied about it.

In short, she was given a rare, stern scolding by her mother that day.

The little girl had a strong sense of self-esteem, and the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. She didn't even eat dinner, and with her pink little schoolbag on her back, she angrily ran off to find Xu Jia.

Xu Jia was older than her, and even then, she already resembled the refined and quiet person she would later become.

While other little boys ran around wildly after school, he was always clean and tidy.

When Shi Luyu rushed in, he was doing his homework at his desk.

"Brother Jiajia," the little girl called out to him angrily.

The boy stopped holding his pen, turned around, and saw a little girl with red-rimmed eyes standing by the door.

Xu Jia was taken aback. "What's wrong?"

Shi Luyu pursed her lips, hesitated for a long time, and then solemnly announced, "I'm going to run away from home."

"..."

Xu Jia clearly hadn't expected to hear that.

He stared at her for several seconds. "Why?"

"My mom doesn't love me anymore."

The nine-year-old girl drew a very serious conclusion about life.

Xu Jia: "..."

She insulted me today.

"Did you do something wrong?"

Shi Luyu's eyes widened immediately: "Whose side are you on?!"

Xu Jia immediately shut up.

He probably learned a long time ago that you shouldn't try to reason with Shi Luyu when she's angry.

So he closed his notebook. "Where are you going?"

This question stumped Shi Luyu. She could only think of "leaving," without considering where to go.

The little girl stood there silently for a long time, her neck stiff: "A very far place."

"How far?"

"Anyway, it's very far."

"How do I get there?"

"Take a car."

"Do you have money?"

"..."

Silence fell again.

Xu Jia looked at her.

Shi Luyu slowly took off her pink backpack, unzipped it, and turned it upside down.

Splash...

A few candies, a hair clip, a pencil, an eraser, and some scattered coins and banknotes fell onto the table.

The two of them squatted there and counted for a long time.

Twenty-three yuan and fifty cents.

Shi Luyu was filled with worry, "Where can they run to with so little money?"

Xu Jia didn't know either. After thinking for a while, he took out his bus card and said, "Here, take this."

Shi Luyu's eyes lit up, then she asked with a firm principle, "So what are you going to do?"

"Should I... run away from home too?" The little boy was clearly bewildered by her seemingly self-evident arrangement. He hesitated for a long time, holding his pencil, before seriously discussing it with her. "But my mom didn't scold me."

The girl's face hardened. "You want to be a traitor!?"

"I'll walk," Xu Jia immediately agreed.

"That's more like it." She accepted it without any hesitation.

Xu Jia: "..."

In addition, he also slipped two orange candies into her small bag, in case she was hungry.

Finally, I found a coin in the drawer that I didn't know when it had been left behind, and put it in there too.

Shi Luyu said disdainfully, "You can't spend this."

"Keep it."

Why?

Xu Jia himself couldn't explain why, but he thought, "Maybe it will be useful."

"It's useless," the girl said dismissively.

The two eventually found an abandoned tin box.

Because Shi Luyu was worried that her mother would discover her "escape gear," she decided to hide it in advance.

They sneaked over to the old tree nearby. Xu Jia dug a hole with a small shovel, while Shi Luyu squatted beside him, directing, "Deeper."

Xu Jia continued digging.

"We'll be discovered," Shi Luyu said, still dissatisfied.

Dig again.

"Isn't this too obvious?"

Xu Jia finally stopped and turned to look at her: "Shi Luyu."

"what?"

"Do it yourself."

"..." Shi Luyu immediately became obedient.

Finally, the tin box was buried next to the tree roots. The soil was covered back up, and the little girl even carefully stomped on it a few times.

Having done all this, she stood there, feeling as if she had accomplished a monumental plan.

Xu Jia asked her, "When are you leaving?"

Shi Luyu pondered seriously, "Tonight."

That evening, her mother cooked her favorite dish. After smelling the aroma, Shi Luyu hesitated in her room for a full ten minutes.

I've finally decided to run away from home again tomorrow.

The next day, her father took her out to play again, so the trip was postponed once more.

On the third day... she completely forgot about running away from home.

That tin box remained buried under the tree.

……

My memory ends here.

Shi Luyu sat in the e-sports room for a long time without moving.

Those few words were still clearly visible on the chat interface.

Twenty-three yuan and fifty cents.

Public transport card.

Two orange candies.

Her breathing gradually slowed down, and an extremely absurd guess surfaced in her mind.

No way, that's impossible.

Shi Luyu's fingertips hovered over the keyboard.

Before she could ask, Null sent another message.

[Null: There's another coin you've been wanting to discard for a long time.]

Shi Luyu's pupils suddenly contracted; she had never told anyone about this. In fact, because so much time had passed, she herself had almost forgotten about it if Null hadn't suddenly brought it up.

How old were they back then?

Nine years old, more than ten years ago.

Shi Luyu stared at Null's simple black profile picture, and her heart suddenly started beating faster.

[Don't arrest me today: You...]

She typed only one word, and the next message popped up on the other end.

[Null: But in the end, your twenty-three dollars and fifty cents couldn't get you away.]
