Border Prisoner: The Mad Boss Seduces Her Every Night

Shi Luyu's body tensed up suddenly, her steps faltered, and she stepped on his shoes.

He didn't dodge, letting her step on him, tightening his arms, lifting her up, spinning her half a circle, and landing her steadily back on the ground.

"Don't rush, sweetie, focus on dancing," he said, unable to suppress the smile on his face.

Shi Luyu was both embarrassed and angry, and lightly punched his shoulder.

He grasped her fist as she pounded towards him, enveloping it in his palm, and continued spinning her around. The light shone down from above, falling on them and casting their shadows on the floor, overlapping and inseparable.

Lin Wanqing stood at the edge of the dance floor, clutching the glass of champagne that no one was taking, her knuckles turning white.

……

The following afternoon, after physical education class, Shi Luyu took a small path behind the gymnasium back to the teaching building.

Few people walk on this road, which is lined with tall palm trees, their fallen leaves carpeting the ground. She hadn't changed out of her workout clothes yet, her hair was tied in a ponytail, and her face still had a slight flush from exercising.

A hand reached out from behind, grabbed her waist, and pulled her into the shadows behind the palm trees.

Her back slammed against the cold wall, and a hand cushioned the back of her head between it and the wall, preventing any pain. Before she could even scream, Xu Yuanjia's lips were on hers.

This kiss was filled with the pent-up rage that had been building up all night and suppressed all day.

His tongue pried open her lips, swept across her teeth, and entwined with her tongue, kissing her deeply and intensely. Shi Luyu's hands pressed against his chest, pushing him away twice, but she couldn't.

His other hand gripped her wrist, pressed it against the wall, and his fingers intertwined with hers.

He kissed her for a long time, so long that her legs began to weaken, and she almost felt like she was going to slide down the wall. Only then did he reluctantly release her lips, pull back half an inch, and breathe heavily on her face.

Shi Luyu gasped for breath, leaning against him, feeling utterly weak.

Xu Yuanjia lowered his head and took something out of the inside pocket of his suit. It was a small black velvet box. He opened it, and inside lay a necklace.

The chain is rose gold and very thin. The pendant is a rabbit carved from a pink diamond, with upright ears and an even smaller ruby ​​for eyes that sparkles in the sunlight.

Shi Luyu was stunned.

He took out the necklace, walked behind her, looped the chain around her neck, and fastened the clasp with a gentle press of his fingertips.

The pink diamond rabbit landed below her collarbone, against her skin, feeling cool and refreshing.

"I've been wanting to give this to you for a while now." His voice came softly from behind her ear, "My little bunny looks really good in it."

Shi Luyu looked down at the pink diamond rabbit and was unexpectedly moved.

Before she could speak, footsteps came from the other end of the corridor. Shi Luyu suddenly pushed Xu Yuanjia away, her face flushed red, and hurriedly straightened her collar, which he had crumpled.

Xu Yuanjia was pushed away by her, leaned against the wall, and had a smile that made people's teeth itch.

"Brother, someone's here..." Shi Luyu whispered.

Xu Yuanjia reached out and pulled her back, kissing her forehead again, his voice carefree: "I'll see you tonight."

He turned and walked away, his steps casual, his hands in his pockets, as if nothing had happened.

Shi Luyu leaned against the wall, her fingers touching the pink diamond rabbit around her neck, her heart pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat.

"So that's what your relationship was like."

Lin Wanqing emerged from behind the palm tree, still in her tracksuit, holding a bottle of mineral water with the cap off.

Her expression showed no anger, only a condescending air and a pitying sneer.

Shi Luyu looked at her with a hint of wariness.

Ever since Lin Wanqing tried to embarrass her under the guise of shopping, she has had no good feelings towards this girl.

"No wonder A-Yuan protects you; you're truly someone who can't stand the light of day." Lin Wanqing walked over, stopped in front of her, and looked her up and down, her gaze sweeping from her disheveled collar to the necklace around her neck. "But Miss Shi, have you ever considered that you're not good enough for him?"

Shi Luyu's fingers clenched the hem of her tracksuit.

Lin Wanqing reached out and pulled a necklace from her collar. It was a rose gold chain with a pink diamond pendant, but instead of a rabbit, it was a delicate lily of the valley.

After Xu Yuanjia destroyed Lin Wanqing's necklace last time, Lin Wanqing specially asked someone to find out which designer Xu Yuanjia had hired, and secretly had a replica made. She even spent a lot of money to use the same pink diamond.

The curves of the petals and the facets of the diamond are identical to the craftsmanship of the rabbit on Shi Luyu's neck, clearly made by the same designer and using the same batch of materials.

"Even the necklace he gave you," Lin Wanqing stated matter-of-factly as if stating a fact that needed no proof, "was something he saw first, and only then did he think of giving it to you."

Shi Luyu's blood suddenly turned cold.

She looked down at the pink diamond rabbit necklace around her neck, then looked up at the pink diamond lily of the valley necklace around Lin Wanqing's neck. The two necklaces shimmered in the sunlight with the same light, equally pink, bright, and expensive.

She suddenly found the rabbit very irritating.

Jiajia's brother gave her the necklace not because he wanted to give it to her, but because he had given it to someone else first, and then made one for her as well.

She didn't know how she got back to her apartment. All the way, her hand kept touching the pendant around her neck, feeling the thin chain warm from her body heat, feeling the rabbit ears digging into her fingertips. When she reached the apartment building, she unfastened the clasp and clutched the necklace in her hand.

She didn't throw it away. She couldn't bear to.

But she put it deep in the drawer, under a stack of old photos, somewhere out of sight.

……

The next day at noon, Xu Yuanjia appeared at the door of the photography department classroom, holding a bag of strawberries, leaning against the door frame in a relaxed manner.

Several girls in the classroom were stealing glances at him and whispering among themselves. He ignored them, his gaze fixed solely on Shi Luyu's seat—

It was empty. Her schoolbag was still on the table, and her thermos was still on the corner of the table, but she was gone.

Front gate.

She left through the back door.

He carried the bag of strawberries and circled the teaching building twice, but couldn't find anyone.

School in the afternoon.

Xu Yuanjia parked his car downstairs at Shi Luyu's apartment building, rolled down the window, and tapped his fingers on the steering wheel intermittently.

He waited from dusk until nightfall, and from nightfall until the streetlights came on. The apartment door opened and closed, the neighbor lady returned from walking her dog, the delivery guy carried cardboard boxes inside, and one light after another turned on in the building.

The lights were off on the 20th floor, because she wasn't home.

I called her, but her phone was off. I sent her messages, but she didn't reply.

Later, he asked Zhou Ji to check the community's surveillance footage, which showed her entering and exiting through the back gate, circling around the neighboring community, and then hailing a taxi at another intersection.

Day three.

Xu Yuanjia stood outside the darkroom, a red light shining through the crack in the door. He knocked, but no one answered. He knocked three more times.

"Honey, I know you're in there."

There was no sound inside.

His knuckles gently scraped across the door panel; that unhurried patience was more unsettling than banging on the door.

Shi Luyu crouched beside the developing solution tray, turned off the light, and huddled in the innermost corner of the darkroom, hugging her knees and holding her breath. The red safety light went out, plunging the room into darkness. She heard his footsteps pause at the doorway for a moment, then gradually fade away.

She waited for a long time until her legs went numb. When she heard complete silence outside, except for the humming of the air conditioner unit in the corridor, she stood up, leaned against the wall, and slowly walked to the door, opening it.

The fluorescent lights in the corridor were blindingly bright; she had only taken two steps—

"Good boy/girl."

The voice came from behind her, very close, almost touching the back of her head.

Shi Luyu felt her blood run cold.

She turned around stiffly. Xu Yuanjia was leaning against the wall next to the door of the dark room, not knowing when he had returned... or rather, he had never left at all.

He was wearing a black leather jacket with the collar turned up, half of his face buried in the collar, only his eyes showing.

Those eyes gleamed with an unusual light, a mixture of dark, damp laughter, and a dangerous, patient waiting for a prey to run into a trap.

He tilted his head slightly, his voice as low as water seeping from the ground:

"You're not... hiding from your brother, are you?"
