Border Prisoner: The Mad Boss Seduces Her Every Night

Xu Yuanjia did not give her a chance to escape.

He reached out and grabbed her wrist, pulling her directly into the darkroom, then turned and pinned her against the wall. Her back slammed against the tiles, the coolness seeping into her skin through her thin T-shirt.

Shi Luyu turned her head away, not daring to look at him.

"Three times already." His voice came down from above her head, his words clenched. "The first time he ran out the back door of the classroom, the second time he slipped out the back gate of the residential area, and the third time he turned off the lights and hid in the darkroom pretending he wasn't there."

Every word was accompanied by his kiss.

The first kiss was on her forehead, the second on the tip of her nose, and the third on her fair, smooth forehead.

"Goodness, do you think your brother is an idiot?" the man said lazily.

Shi Luyu bit her lip and remained silent. His thumb slowly drew circles on the back of her hand, making her entire arm feel weak.

"Speak," he commanded.

Shi Luyu remained silent. Xu Yuanjia then lowered his head, pressed his lips to her earlobe, and bit it. The warm, wet touch sent shivers down Shi Luyu's spine.

"Will you tell me or not?" His thin lips were still pressed against her earlobe, his words muffled.

Shi Luyu's ears turned bright red, almost dripping blood, and she whispered in a voice barely above a whisper, "...I didn't dodge."

"Didn't dodge?" Xu Yuanjia stepped back a little, looking at her face. The girl's eyes were red, her eyelashes were trembling, and her cheeks were burning hot. She was clearly extremely aggrieved, but incredibly stubborn.

He released her wrists, cupped her face in his hands, pressed his forehead against hers, and their noses brushed together. Their breaths mingled, and warm air brushed against each other's lips.

"Do you know," his voice lowered, as if he were only speaking to her, "that I haven't been sleeping well every night while you've been avoiding me these past few days?"

Shi Luyu's eyelashes trembled.

"So," he said, sliding his thumb from her temple to the corner of her mouth and pressing lightly, "you're going to be punished today."

"Punishment...what?" Shi Luyu's voice was muffled and soft.

Xu Yuanjia thought for a moment, and the corners of his mouth slowly curved up. He straightened up, took her hand, and placed her palm against his heart.

Through his shirt and thin skin, Shi Luyu could feel his heartbeat, steady and strong.

"Numbers," he said.

"What are you counting?"

"Count my heartbeats." Xu Yuanjia looked down at her fingers as she pressed them against her chest. "Count to one hundred, not a single beat less."

Shi Luyu was stunned: "What kind of punishment is this?"

Xu Yuanjia smiled, his eyes slightly lowered, his expression gentle yet mischievous, like someone teasing their prey. "Begin. If you miscount, start over."

Shi Luyu lowered her head and looked at the fingers she was pressing on his chest.

His heartbeat traveled through her palm, one beat at a time, like some kind of ancient timer. She began to count, her lips moving slightly, her voice so soft that only she could hear it.

One, two, three, four... When he counted to twenty, he suddenly lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.

She instantly lost her rhythm, stopped, and looked up at him.

He looked completely innocent: "Go on."

Shi Luyu pursed her lips and started counting again. One, two, three, four... This time, when she counted to thirty-three, he reached out and tucked her drooping hair behind her ear, his fingertips brushing against her earlobe.

She's confused again.

"Xu Yuanjia!" she cried out anxiously, calling him by his full name.

His laugh was low and lazy, with a hint of pleasure in the corners of his eyes. The oppressive sense of danger from before had faded somewhat. "Alright, alright, I won't make a fuss."

Shi Luyu glared at him, took a deep breath, and started again. This time she counted very quickly, going from one to one hundred in one go without pausing or looking at him. She buried her face in his chest, ignoring his gaze.

When she counted to one hundred, she looked up, her face flushed and her eyes bright: "I'm done counting."

Xu Yuanjia looked down at her and reached out to ruffle her hair.

"I've finished counting," he said. "Then the punishment is over."

Shi Luyu breathed a sigh of relief and was about to pull away from his embrace. He suddenly tightened his arms, pulling her completely into his embrace, his chin resting on the top of her head. "But sweetie," his voice came down from above her head, deep and languid.

"Next time you hide, it won't be as simple as counting heartbeats."

His voice was calm. "Next time, you can hide once, and I'll keep one."

Xu Yuanjia lowered his head, pressed his lips to her neck, and gently sucked on the spot above her collarbone where the pink diamond rabbit had once rested, leaving a faint red mark.

Shi Luyu only snapped out of her daze when the timer on the wall of the darkroom jumped to the last five minutes.

She was still held in Xu Yuanjia's arms, the faint red mark on her neck from his sucking was faintly hot, and her ears were also hot.

People were already passing by in the corridor, and the sound of footsteps came through the door. Shi Luyu suddenly woke up and hurriedly pushed him.

"Brother, I'm going out."

Xu Yuanjia looked down at her, still with that lazy, nonchalant air, his fingertips still resting on her waist. "No rush."

Shi Luyu nudged him, "What if someone comes in later?"

Xu Yuanjia chuckled slowly, "Then... let's just go public."

"Brother!" Shi Luyu exclaimed in fright, immediately covering his mouth.

Xu Yuanjia looked down at her, the smile in his eyes hidden by her palm, but still escaping from the corner of his eye. Shi Luyu felt flustered under his gaze, quickly withdrew her hand, took a half step back, straightened her clothes, and tucked her messy hair behind her ear.

She lowered her head and whispered, "Let's not go out together."

Xu Yuanjia raised an eyebrow but remained silent.

Shi Luyu looked up and glared at him, her eyes still red and her cheeks flushed, but she stubbornly said, "Don't do anything reckless."

After saying that, she grabbed her camera bag from the table and ran quickly towards the door. Just before opening it, she turned back to warn him, "Brother, wait a moment before you come out."

Xu Yuanjia leaned against the table in the darkroom, his long legs casually propped up, looking incredibly relaxed. "I know, little sister."

Shi Luyu paused, her face immediately turning even redder.

She gently pulled open the door to the darkroom, then quickly closed it again.

-

After coming out of the darkroom, Shi Luyu walked out along the corridor of the activity building.

The heat on her face hadn't completely subsided, and her ears were burning hot. The corridor was lined with past exhibitions by the photography club, their glass frames reflecting her current appearance.

Her eyes were moist, her cheeks were flushed, and her lips were a little brighter than usual.

She quickly lowered her head, pretending nothing had happened.

As I approached the stairwell, I suddenly heard the sound of high heels clicking on the floor ahead. The sound was unhurried and rhythmic.

Shi Luyu looked up and saw Lin Wanqing walking towards her from the opposite side.

Lin Wanqing was wearing a white suit dress today, her long hair was slightly curled, and her makeup was exquisite. Suddenly, she stopped in front of Shi Luyu, her gaze swept over Shi Luyu's face, paused slightly, and then smiled.

It's disturbing.

Shi Luyu didn't speak. Her mood had just calmed down a bit today, and she didn't want to get entangled with Lin Wanqing, so she turned to walk past her.

No sooner had she moved than Lin Wanqing stepped to the side, blocking her path.

Shi Luyu frowned slightly: "Excuse me, could you please move aside?"

Lin Wanqing did not allow it.

She raised her hand, gently pinched Shi Luyu's chin with her fingertips, and examined her rosy cheeks.

Her smile deepened. "You've met Xu Yuanjia?"

Shi Luyu frowned, raised her hand to block her hand, and said, "Let go."

"You've made up so quickly?" Lin Wanqing smiled instead of being angry, her tone as light as if she were chatting. "I thought you would avoid him for a longer time."

Shi Luyu didn't want to pay attention to her at first, but when she heard this, she couldn't help but stop. "This doesn't seem to be your business."

Lin Wanqing stood with her arms crossed, her posture elegant, but her eyes held a hint of condescending pity. "Of course it's none of my business."

"I was just curious." She tilted her head slightly, her tone gentle to the point of being cruel.

"You don't actually think you can be with A-Yuan, do you?"

Shi Luyu frowned. "What do you mean?"

Lin Wanqing slowly took a step closer.

The light from the corridor fell on her face, and she smiled beautifully, yet ironically. Yes, she had finally given up on pretending to be gentle.

"Do you know what kind of people A-Yuan sees every day?"

"Do you know how many lives and deaths can be decided by a single meal in the Xu family?"

"Do you think that just because he eats at roadside stalls with you and buys you things, he truly belongs to your world?"

Every word was clear, and every sentence was spoken softly.

Yet every word struck the most sensitive spot in Shi Luyu's heart with precision.

Shi Luyu's fingertips tightened slightly as many images uncontrollably flashed through her mind.

Xu Yuanjia sat in the main seat, while the mayor stood and lit his cigarette and poured him tea.

The company's elites who treated him with utmost respect, bordering on fear.

The men in black, luxury cars, private clubs, and power relationships that she couldn't understand or comprehend appeared around him.

There's also Lin Wanqing, a young lady who grew up in the same social circle as him.

Indeed. Since reuniting with Xu Yuanjia, there have been too many mysterious and unknown aspects about him that she finds intriguing.

She became increasingly dependent on him. And she also increasingly realized that she didn't fully understand him.

This feeling is very uncomfortable.

It's like stepping into fog; even though he's right next to you, you can't see the road ahead.

Lin Wanqing stared at her expression, a slight smile curving her lips, knowing she had hit the nail on the head.

"Shi Luyu." She moved closer to her, lowered her voice, and said deliberately:

"You don't understand, and you can't possibly understand, A-Yuan's world."

Shi Luyu remained silent for a few seconds.

My heart was pierced, a feeling of suffocation surged up, and I could hardly breathe, as if I were drowning.

But she also knew very well that Lin Wanqing's words were ill-intentioned.

Whatever problems exist between her and Xu Yuanjia, that's between the two of them. She doesn't need an outsider standing here, cloaked in gentleness, to judge whether they're a good match.

Shi Luyu slowly raised her eyes, her emotions already concealed on her face.

She smiled faintly, the corners of her lips curving upwards. "Thank you for your concern."

Her voice wasn't loud, but she enunciated clearly, "No matter what, this is between me and Jiajia."

As she spoke, she reached out and pushed aside Lin Wanqing's body that was blocking her way.

Her touch was very light; she barely even touched Lin Wanqing's arm.

Unexpectedly, Lin Wanqing suddenly leaned back.

Shi Luyu's pupils suddenly contracted.

Lin Wanqing fell backward, her heel slipped, and her body tumbled down the edge of the stairs.

"ah--"

A scream pierced the corridor.

Shi Luyu froze in place, still in the same position where she had just pushed Lin Wanqing aside, her fingertips hovering in mid-air, staring blankly as the white figure rolled down the steps, as if she were nailed to the spot.

Lin Wanqing tumbled down several steps, finally falling at the corner of the stairs, her elbow hitting the ground, and curled up, her face pale.

The commotion quickly attracted nearby students.

"What happened?"

"Did someone fall?"

"It looks like Lin Wanqing!"

Shi Luyu subconsciously wanted to go downstairs to see her, but as soon as she took a step, she saw someone coming up from the corner downstairs.

It was Xu Yuanjia.

He was still wearing the same black jacket, his posture was lazy, and his eyes showed a hint of impatience, as if he was bothered by the students who were gradually gathering around him.

At that moment, Lin Wanqing was curled up at his feet.

She reached out and grabbed Xu Yuanjia's trouser leg, her eyes instantly reddening.

"Ah Yuan..."

"It hurts so much..."

The crowd of onlookers quieted down considerably.

Shi Luyu stood halfway up the stairs, her fingertips feeling cold.

Xu Yuanjia glanced down at the woman on the ground, his gaze indifferent, his emotions calm and undisturbed.

He didn't even bother to bend down and help her up; he just seemed too lazy to pay attention and looked up at Shi Luyu on the stairs.

Seeing her standing in the middle of the stairs, her face pale, he raised an eyebrow slightly, as if the person lying downstairs had nothing to do with him.

He even stepped onto the stairs and lazily asked her, "What do you want to eat for lunch?"

Shi Luyu was stunned.

Lin Wanqing was still clutching his trouser leg, tears streaming down her face, and everyone around was watching.

Shi Luyu's heart was in turmoil as she watched this scene.

She didn't know what to do.

Lin Wanqing's words were still echoing in her mind.

A Yuan.

The Xu family's world.

Were they already closer?

Shi Luyu took a step back, shook her head, and said softly, "Brother, why don't you take her to the hospital first?"

Xu Yuanjia stopped in his tracks.

He looked down at her, the casual smile on his lips slowly fading: "You want me to go?"

Shi Luyu remained silent.

She didn't know why she said those words.

Perhaps it was to avoid being misunderstood.

Perhaps it was because they were afraid of appearing too immature.

Perhaps it was the bitterness and unease in her heart that made her want to see if Xu Yuanjia would actually go.

Xu Yuanjia looked at her for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled and said, "Okay."

His tone was cold. "You're quite generous."

Shi Luyu felt a tightness in her chest, and that sour feeling still rose uncontrollably, making her throat feel constricted.

Xu Yuanjia didn't look at her again. He turned around, bent down, and picked up Lin Wanqing from the ground.

As Lin Wanqing leaned into his arms, a fleeting glint of triumph flashed in her eyes, but it quickly turned into pain. She clutched his clothes and sobbed softly.

"Ah Yuan, I'm sorry... I didn't mean to disturb you..."

Xu Yuanjia did not respond and carried the person out.

His back was straight, and his long legs moved steadily, causing the onlookers to automatically make way for him.

Shi Luyu stood on the stairs, staring blankly as he left.

She was the one who asked him to go.

But when he actually carried Lin Wanqing away, she still felt as if something was dull pressing down on her chest, making it hard to breathe.

She belatedly realized that she was not generous at all and did not want to see him hugging other people.

But the words had already been spoken, and she didn't even have the right to be sad.

A few classmates passing by whispered among themselves.

"That must be Lin Wanqing, the eldest daughter of the Lin family."

"I heard that she and Xu Yuanjia have known each other since they were children, and the Lin family and the Xu family have a very close relationship."

"I've also heard that the Lin family has always wanted a marriage alliance with the Xu family. Isn't she Xu Yuanjia's tacitly agreed-upon fiancée?"

"No wonder Xu Yuanjia carried her away. No one else would get this kind of treatment."

The voices weren't loud, but every word penetrated into Shi Luyu's ears.

fiancée.

The default fiancée.

Shi Luyu stood still, her fingers tightening their grip on the camera bag strap.

The corridor was brightly lit, and people were coming and going, but she suddenly felt as if she had been abandoned in a very far place.
