Border Prisoner: The Mad Boss Seduces Her Every Night

Shi Luyu's eyes were still red, and the tip of her nose was also red, clearly indicating that she had just cried, with a little dampness on her eyelashes.

She looked up at him, and after a long pause, she finally said bluntly, "I...I know you're angry."

The girl was clearly very aggrieved, but she still tried her best to soften her voice.

She said, "How about I comfort you?"

Xu Yuanjia raised an eyebrow slightly, said nothing, and only looked down at her.

A hint of indifference lingered on that beautiful, somewhat sharp face. The corners of her eyes drooped lazily, while the corners of her lips curved into a faint, ambiguous smile.

Shi Luyu felt flustered under his gaze, and tentatively reached out, her fingers gripping the hem of his clothes tightly.

She took two steps forward, her eyes sincere, and told him, "Brother, I really will try my best to comfort you."

Xu Yuanjia finally chuckled softly, the sound falling into her ear with a hint of nonchalant mischief.

"Is that so?" He leaned down, his fingertips brushing against the tear tracks that hadn't yet dried at the corners of her eyes. "Then get ready."

Shi Luyu stared at him blankly: "Prepare what?"

Xu Yuanjia's lips slowly curled up, and he said lazily, "My brother is hard to coax."

Shi Luyu's cheeks flushed slightly. Even though she knew there was a hint of deliberate sarcasm in his words, she still nodded earnestly. "I will try my best."

Looking at her overly obedient appearance, Xu Yuanjia's coldness completely dissipated.

He raised his hand and pinched her chin, leaned closer, tilted his head slightly and bit her reddened lips, his voice lazy and husky: "Put it on the tab first."

Shi Luyu's eyelashes trembled as he bit her, and she asked softly, "...What kind of account?"

Xu Yuanjia released her, his expression returning to its usual lazy and aristocratic demeanor. "I owe my brother a debt."

After he finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the graduate student building.

Shi Luyu stood there, watching his back, feeling a pang of sadness, yet also inexplicably relieved.

He was still willing to talk to her.

That means... there's still room for persuasion.

/

The next morning, after class, Shi Luyu took a detour to a coffee shop outside the school.

She stood in front of the order counter, thinking seriously for a long time.

The clerk asked, "What would you like to drink, young man?"

Shi Luyu whispered, "An iced Americano."

She paused, then added, "The coffee beans should have a nutty flavor, and be a dark roast."

The shop assistant was somewhat surprised: "Dark roast will be more bitter."

Shi Luyu nodded: "It's alright, thank you."

Xu Yuanjia didn't like the fruity and sour taste of Americano; she remembered it very clearly.

After making the coffee, she took out sticky notes from her bag, leaned over the small round table in the shop, and wrote and crossed out notes repeatedly.

Finally, stick it to the cup.

I'm sorry, brother.

From now on, if I want to know something, I'll just ask my brother myself.

I won't secretly feel sad, nor will I secretly harbor doubts.

As she looked at those lines of text, her ears felt a little hot. Afraid that it wasn't sincere enough, she thought for a moment and added a small sentence at the bottom.

Don't ignore me.

After finishing writing, she took the coffee and went to the graduate student building.

As noon approached, people came and went downstairs. Shi Luyu stood under the camphor tree, holding a glass of iced Americano in both hands, glancing at the building entrance every now and then, her bright eyes filled with tension and unease.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Xu Yuanjia finally came out of the building and slowly walked towards her.

"What are you doing standing here?" The tone remained indifferent.

Shi Luyu handed him the coffee: "Brother, I bought your favorite."

Xu Yuanjia stared at her for a few seconds before reaching out to take the cup of coffee. The cool cup settled into his palm, and his fingertips touched the sticky note on the cup.

He glanced down at it. The first few sentences were fairly proper, but the last sentence, written "You mustn't ignore me," was written in smaller characters than the ones above.

His lips twitched slightly.

Shi Luyu kept staring at his expression, and seeing that he didn't speak, she felt even more uncertain. "Brother?"

Xu Yuanjia looked up at her lazily and said deliberately, "Just because you accepted the coffee doesn't mean you've won her over."

Shi Luyu was taken aback. Then she nodded and said very seriously, "Don't worry, I won't give up."

Xu Yuanjia took a sip through the straw. The iced Americano was slightly bitter at first, followed by a subtle nutty aroma.

It's his preferred taste.

He looked at her, a hint of a smile playing at the corners of his eyes, but his voice remained casual as he said, "Okay."

"Brother, wait here."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and walked into the building, still holding his cup. After a few steps, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at her. "Eat your own lunch. Don't skip it."

Shi Luyu's eyes lit up: "You're concerned about me?"

Xu Yuanjia raised an eyebrow slightly. Without saying anything more, he turned and left.

……

In the afternoon, Shi Luyu went to the library to look for information.

As soon as she reached the third floor, she saw Xu Yuanjia sitting by the window.

A computer and several thick textbooks lay open in front of him, his long, slender fingers resting on the keyboard as he stared at the screen. Sunlight streamed in from the window, illuminating his cool, handsome profile, highlighting his clear, beautiful features.

Shi Luyu slowed her steps. She had wanted to go and call him, but she was afraid of disturbing him, so she simply sat down opposite him, still holding her book.

Shi Luyu sat for a few minutes, secretly glancing at him several times.

Xu Yuanjia kept his eyes lowered and his expression calm, as if he really hadn't noticed her at all.

She bit her lip, tore a small piece of paper from her notebook, wrote a line carefully, and gently pushed it over.

[Brother, are you still angry?]

The note slipped to his hand.

Xu Yuanjia glanced at it. He picked up his pen and wrote the words below with sharp, decisive strokes.

Busy.

Just as he was about to return the note, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Shi Luyu looking at him nervously, her eyes moist, filled with a hint of unease at being rejected.

Xu Yuanjia paused slightly, remained silent for a moment, then continued writing on the paper with his head down:

[Weren't you just trying to comfort me?]

Shi Luyu stared at those words and thought about them seriously for a long time.

The library was so quiet you could hear the pages turning.

She chewed on the pen cap and thought for a long time before finally looking down and drawing a little rabbit in the blank space on the paper.

The rabbit's ears were drawn unevenly, one longer than the other, and its eyes were crooked.

It read next to it: "[The little rabbit knows it was wrong.]"

After she finished writing it, she felt a little embarrassed.

But I still gently pushed the note over.

Xu Yuanjia lowered his eyes and fell silent.

That crooked little rabbit was adorably ugly. He stared at it for two seconds, then finally couldn't help but chuckle softly.

The sound was very soft, yet it was particularly noticeable in the quiet library.

Shi Luyu immediately looked up at him. Xu Yuanjia had already curled his lips into a languid expression, "With a drawing like this, you still want to fool people?"

He lowered his voice, his tone carrying a hint of nonchalant disdain.

Shi Luyu blushed and whispered, "Then you smiled."

Xu Yuanjia said calmly, "I laughed out of anger."

Shi Luyu looked at him, a glimmer of light slowly appearing in her eyes. "Even arrogance is laughter."

Xu Yuanjia glanced at her. She immediately shut up and lowered her head, pretending to flip through a book.

Xu Yuanjia stared at her for a long time, his thin lips curving slightly. He folded the note and tucked it into the book beside him.

Shi Luyu saw it. Her heart softened instantly, and she asked softly, "You're keeping it?"

Xu Yuanjia turned a page of his book and said lazily, "Keep it as evidence."

/

The next day, Xu Yuanjia was called to a project meeting by his supervisor early in the morning.

Shi Luyu heard from her classmate that he was so busy that he hadn't eaten. After hesitating for a long time, she still went to the cafeteria.

She packed three dishes and a soup.

There was no cilantro.

There wasn't much oil.

It also avoids sweet flavors.

She remembered that Xu Yuanjia wasn't actually a picky eater, but he didn't like things that were too sweet or greasy. The soup should be clear, but not bland. He always said he didn't care about anything, but when it came to actually eating, he was quite picky.
