Border Prisoner: The Mad Boss Seduces Her Every Night

In the darkness, Xu Yuanjia lowered his eyes and stared at the sleeping face.

Her eyelashes cast a faint fan-shaped shadow under her eyelids, her breathing was light and long, and her lips were slightly parted, like a closed flower.

He reached out, his fingertips slowly tracing down her brow bone, across the bridge of her nose, and stopping at the tip. She didn't react, sleeping soundly as if she had sunk into a dreamless night.

His fingers moved from the tip of her nose to her hair scattered on the pillow, picking up a strand and twirling it between his fingertips, feeling its slight coolness. Each caress made his throat tighten.

Shi Luyu stirred slightly in her sleep, her brows furrowing as if she sensed something amiss.

Xu Yuanjia immediately stopped what he was doing, leaned close to her face, and whispered, "It's okay, sweetie... keep sleeping."

His lips were almost touching her earlobe, his breath warm and restrained. Her furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and her breathing became long and even again.

He turned his head away, closed his eyes, and swallowed the breath that was getting out of control in his throat.

So all the turmoil could only sink into the throat, turning into a barely audible chuckle.

Cold, restrained, and morbid.

When he opened his eyes again, the cold and melancholy calm had returned to his eyes.

Like a gaze that no one knows about.

The world shrank before his eyes until only her steady breathing and her unguarded face remained.

……

In the darkest hour before dawn, the light in the secret room was almost zero.

Shi Luyu opened her eyes. Xu Yuanjia was lying on his side on the outside of the sofa bed, with one arm around her waist. He was breathing evenly and sleeping soundly.

She reached out and nudged his shoulder.

"Brother," she whispered, "Brother, wake up."

Xu Yuanjia did not move.

She pushed him again, this time with more force: "Brother! We have to find a way to escape while it's still dark. It'll be terrible if Master Jia wakes up at dawn."

Xu Yuanjia actually woke up the moment she moved her first. All those years of heightened alertness hadn't gone to waste; the moment her breathing changed, he was no longer asleep.

He slowly opened his eyes, propped himself up, supported his head with one hand, and looked at her sleepily.

"Oh?" His voice was hoarse, like he had a mouthful of unmelted candy in his mouth. "If Master Jia wakes up... what a disaster it will be?"

Shi Luyu panicked and grabbed his sleeve: "He'll take advantage of me and then kill me, and you'll be in danger too, brother!"

Xu Yuanjia looked at her extremely serious little face, suppressed a laugh, sat up, put his arm around her waist, rested his chin on her shoulder, and leaned lazily against her.

"That's terrifying..." His lips brushed against the skin of her neck, his voice low as if it were vibrating from his chest, "Then we should hurry up and run away."

Shi Luyu nodded vigorously, broke free from his embrace, and jumped off the sofa bed.

The structure of the sealed room was not complicated, but every part was sealed tightly.

Shi Luyu started with the door. She had seen that iron door last night; it was locked on the outside and didn't even have a handle on the inside.

She then turned to the wall, which was made of some kind of metallic composite material. When tapped, it made a dull, solid sound.

Her gaze fell on the corner of the ceiling. There was a ventilation opening there, no bigger than the palm of her hand, too small for a person to squeeze through.

Shi Luyu was so anxious that beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Xu Yuanjia sat on the edge of the sofa bed, his long legs casually crossed, watching her busy herself.

In the dim light, her figure resembled a goldfish trapped in a glass bowl, circling the four walls with such earnestness that it made one want to laugh.

He rested his chin on one hand, his gaze lazily following her movements, the smile on his lips impossible to suppress.

Shi Luyu ran from the vent to the corner and squatted down to check the drain. The drain cover was rusted shut and she couldn't turn it. She sighed, stood up, and almost bumped into him as she turned around.

He didn't know when he had walked up behind her.

"Brother, don't just stand there," she nudged his chest, "help me find the exit too."

Xu Yuanjia looked down at her sweat-dampened temples and reached out to tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear.

"Okay, I understand," he said, his tone as obedient as a child admitting their mistake. "I'll look for it."

He paced around the secret room, deliberately circling to the wall furthest from her, his back to her. Shi Luyu didn't notice that as he passed a certain spot, he tapped his knuckles lightly three times on the wall, the rhythm distinct.

Then he turned around, his face full of innocence.

"Look at this." He walked to a painting that was crooked. He reached out to straighten it, pressing his fingertips on a raised line and applying slight pressure.

A dull "click" came from inside the wall.

Shi Luyu suddenly looked up. The seemingly intact wall had cracked open in the middle, slowly sliding to both sides to reveal a deep, secret passage. A cool breeze rushed out of the passage, carrying the smell of earth and rust.

She was stunned.

Xu Yuanjia was also "stunned" for a moment, then turned to look at her, raising his eyebrows slightly: "You're lucky."

Shi Luyu ran over, reached out and touched the stone wall at the edge of the secret passage, then looked back at him, her eyes sparkling: "Brother, you're amazing! You found the mechanism just by touching it!"

Xu Yuanjia smiled but offered no explanation. He took her hand, interlacing his fingers with hers; his palm was dry and warm.

"Let's go, brother will help you escape."

The secret passage was long, with damp stone walls on both sides and a rough stone path underfoot. After walking for about ten minutes, a half-open iron door appeared ahead. Xu Yuanjia pushed open the iron door, and the two of them slipped out.

Outside is the back mountain of a military base.

The sky was already turning a pale white, and the morning mist enveloped the low bushes.

Searchlights swept across from the distant tower, their beams sliced ​​into segments in the fog.

Xu Yuanjia pulled her along, crouching low, and moved quickly along the shadow of the base's perimeter wall. Guard posts were spaced fifty meters apart, with sentries pacing back and forth, their boots making a soft crunching sound on the gravel.

They evaded one sentry post after another. Shi Luyu's heart was pounding so hard it felt like it would jump out of her throat. She carefully followed Xu Yuanjia's footsteps with every step, afraid of making the slightest sound.

But just as they approached the outermost barbed wire fence of the base, a flashlight beam suddenly shone on them:

"Who goes there!"

Shi Luyu froze. Xu Yuanjia grabbed her and ran, with the sound of sentries' whistles and footsteps behind them, and shouts spreading through the morning mist.

They ran into an open area, their feet sinking into pebbles and weeds. Shi Luyu hadn't run far when her breathing became rapid and her steps grew heavier. A tree root lying across the ground tripped her, and she fell forward, her knee hitting the pebbles, the pain bringing tears to her eyes.

"Brother, don't worry about me!" Her voice trembled as she looked up at Xu Yuanjia. "I can't run anymore. I can't hold you back. You run!"

The footsteps behind them grew closer, and Zhou Ji's voice could be faintly heard giving orders: "Split into two teams and flank them!"

Xu Yuanjia squatted down and turned his back to her.

"Come up."

"elder brother--"

"Come up." He didn't turn around, his tone leaving no room for argument.

Shi Luyu bit her lip and climbed onto his back. He supported her knees with one hand and steadied her waist with the other, bouncing her up a bit before starting to run.

He was much faster than she had imagined.

The wind whistled past her ears as she wrapped her arms around his neck, burying her face in the crook of his shoulder, feeling the powerful contraction and expansion of his shoulder blades beneath her skin.

The railway tracks stretched out in the morning mist, the sleepers covered in moss. In the distance, the whistle of a train sounded, and a blinding beam of light pierced through the fog.

Xu Yuanjia ran to the railway tracks and stopped.

The train approached from afar, moving at high speed. Its headlights grew brighter, and the tracks began to vibrate slightly. The pursuers had reached the edge of the open field, with Zhou Ji at the forefront.

Xu Yuanjia turned his head, his lips almost touching Shi Luyu's ear: "Sweetie, do you believe me?"

Shi Luyu hugged his neck tightly and nodded vigorously.

"Then let's jump!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly exerted his strength, ran two steps on the tracks with her on his back, and leaped. The locomotive roared past, almost grazing their feet, and the huge gust of air whipped her hair.

Shi Luyu was so windy that she couldn't open her eyes. A scream burst from her throat as she buried her face in his neck, her nails almost digging into the fabric of his shoulder.

The roar of train wheels crushing the rails filled my ears, making my chest tingle.

Xu Yuanjia landed steadily on the ground on the other side of the tracks, his knees slightly bent to cushion the impact, before straightening up. He glanced at Shi Luyu on his back; her eyes were closed, her eyelashes trembling violently, and her lips pressed into a thin line.

"We're here," he said.

Shi Luyu opened her eyes and found herself standing on the other side of the railway tracks. The train rumbled past them, carriage after carriage, completely blocking the pursuers on the other side.

On the other side of the railway tracks.

Zhou Ji and his men stood beside the sleepers, the train carriages rushing past them, stirring up gusts of wind.

A group of people watched as the train swallowed Jia Ye and the woman into the morning mist.

A henchman cautiously approached, his voice low: "Brother Ji, what's the boss up to? He's cheating on that woman... is he coming back?"
