Border Prisoner: The Mad Boss Seduces Her Every Night

Shi Luyu carried a lunchbox to the graduate student building and knocked on the door of the project room.

There weren't many people inside. Xu Yuanjia sat in front of the computer, resting his chin on one hand, his expression lazy, listening to the person next to him explain the data results.

His gaze paused slightly upon seeing her.

The classmate next to him was quite perceptive: "Brother Jia, let's go eat first."

The people quickly dispersed.

Shi Luyu placed the lunchbox on the table: "Brother, I brought you lunch."

Xu Yuanjia leaned back in his chair, raising an eyebrow slightly: "Trying to coax people by delivering food?"

Shi Luyu whispered, "You still need to eat."

Xu Yuanjia glanced at her, opened the lunchbox, and the aroma of the food wafted out. He could tell at a glance that it was all chosen according to his taste.

There were no shellfish, no scallions, ginger, or garlic, and even the soup was the kind he usually drank.

Xu Yuanjia felt pleased, but still had to find fault. He picked up a spoon, took a sip, and said indifferently, "This soup is too bland."

Shi Luyu immediately tensed up: "Then I'll go change." As she spoke, she really turned around and was about to leave.

Xu Yuanjia's brow twitched, and he reached out and grabbed her wrist. "Come back."

Shi Luyu turned around blankly. Xu Yuanjia looked down at her, his tone still somewhat displeased: "Did I say you could leave?"

She whispered, "Didn't you say you didn't like it?"

Looking at her earnest expression, Xu Yuanjia felt a strange pang in his heart, a mix of tenderness and bitterness.

He said coldly, "I don't like soup." He paused, then added, "But I didn't say I didn't like it when you brought it."

Shi Luyu's ears turned red instantly. She stood there, her wrist still held by him, her eyelashes trembling slightly: "Will you still eat, brother?"

Xu Yuanjia slowly released her and picked up his chopsticks.

"You did try your best to coax him."

Shi Luyu quickly pushed the lunchbox in front of him: "This doesn't have cilantro, and it's not greasy. Brother, eat more."

Xu Yuanjia took a bite, then looked up at her: "You remember it so clearly?"

"Mmm." Shi Luyu was a little embarrassed.

"Why?" he asked knowingly, a lazy smile playing on his lips.

Shi Luyu blushed at his question, lowered her head to tidy up the lunchbox bag, and whispered, "Because you are very important."

Xu Yuanjia paused his chewing motion here.

These past few days, she seems to have really learned how to coax him; every word she says is soft and sincere. She doesn't use any tricks, yet she always manages to precisely strike at the darkest and most greedy part of his heart.

Xu Yuanjia put down his chopsticks and suddenly beckoned to her with his finger:

"come over."

Shi Luyu, puzzled, took two steps closer.

Xu Yuanjia reached out, pinched her chin, and lifted her face: "Say it again."

Shi Luyu's eyelashes trembled: "What did you say?"

"I am important."

Shi Luyu's cheeks flushed, and her voice was so soft it was almost inaudible: "Brother is very important."

Xu Yuanjia stared at her, the corners of his lips slowly curving upwards: "How important is my brother?"

Shi Luyu was amused by him and gently pushed his wrist, saying, "Brother, you eat first."

Xu Yuanjia chuckled softly, finally releasing her. "Alright."

He picked up his chopsticks and said lazily, "Ask after you finish eating."

Shi Luyu: "..."

She suspected he did it on purpose.

But seeing that he actually started eating, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At least he was willing to eat the food she brought, which was a small way of appeasing him, right?

……

In the evening, Shi Luyu returned to their "home".

She sat at her desk after showering, her hair still slightly damp. The USB drive sat on the desk; she hadn't touched it in a long time.

Actually, there wasn't any of the terrible evidence Xu Jia mentioned inside, only documentary footage she had filmed. But what Xu Yuanjia cared about wasn't what was inside, but that she had opened it.

Looking at it, Shi Luyu felt both bitter and guilty.

She picked up her phone, wanting to message Xu Yuanjia, but felt that simply typing wouldn't convey her meaning. After hesitating for a long time, she opened the camera and switched to the front-facing camera.

In the video, she is sitting at her desk in her dormitory, her soft hair falling over her shoulders, and a faint blush still lingering on her fair face.

She looked at the camera for a few seconds and suddenly became nervous. She stumbled during the first take, felt she was speaking too softly halfway through the second take, and on the third take, she took a deep breath and looked intently at the camera.

"Xu Yuanjia." Her face flushed as soon as she called his name.

She usually calls him "brother," so when he suddenly called her by his full name, her heart skipped a beat.

She paused for a moment, then continued, "If I'm scared in the future, I'll ask you first, and if I don't understand something, I'll listen to your explanation first."

"I don't want to hurt you because of what others say." She gripped her phone tightly, her eyes shining with a serious and clear light. "And..."

As she said this, her cheeks turned even redder.

The voice also softened—

I really like you.

After recording, she watched it once and was so embarrassed that she almost wanted to delete it. But when she thought of how Xu Yuanjia had been ignoring her with a cold face these past few days, she couldn't bear to delete it.

Finally, gritting my teeth, I sent it. The chat window quickly showed it as read.

But Xu Yuanjia did not reply.

Shi Luyu felt uncertain again. She lay on the table, holding her phone, waiting until her eyelids started to ache.

On the other side, in the black car, Xu Yuanjia leaned back in the back seat, looking down at his phone screen.

The video has been played for the fourth time. The girl is sitting at her desk in the dormitory, speaking earnestly yet awkwardly.

The video ends.

Xu Yuanjia turned off the screen expressionlessly.

In the front row, Zhou Ji sat in the passenger seat, and the car was quiet for half a minute.

Soon, the girl's soft voice came from the back seat again:

"Xu Yuanjia..."

Zhou Ji kept his eyes down and his mind focused, silently shifting his gaze to the window.

This is the fifth time.

After reading it, Xu Yuanjia's expression remained indifferent, but his fingertips remained on the screen, not moving away.

When she said she liked him, her ears turned noticeably red. She didn't dare look at the camera for long, but she still forced herself to finish speaking earnestly.

So well-behaved.

She was so obedient that his anger was like being soaked in warm water, leaving only an unreasonable possessiveness.

He lightly brushed his fingertip across Shi Luyu's face on the screen, and after a moment, Xu Yuanjia coldly closed the phone.

Zhou thought it was finally over. Half a minute later, the phone was picked up again.

Zhou Ji: "..."

He wisely continued looking out the window, pretending he was deaf.

After reading it this time, Xu Yuanjia's lips finally curved down very slightly, but quickly flattened again.

He replied to her message slowly and deliberately.

That's all?

When Shi Luyu received the message in the dormitory, she panicked.

That's all?

Is that not enough?

She thought for a moment, then immediately sent another message: 【I really like it.】

Not satisfied with just that, she added: 【My favorite is my older brother.】

Inside the car, Xu Yuanjia stared at the two messages for a long time, and finally, he couldn't help but smile.

The slight weariness at the corners of her eyes dissipated, making her look almost flamboyantly beautiful.

Zhou glanced at the rearview mirror and quickly looked away.

Xu Yuanjia leaned back in his seat and slowly began typing.

[To be continued tomorrow.]

Shi Luyu stared at those four words, her heart softened, and she felt a little shy.

Continue with what?

Should we continue to coax him?

Holding her phone, she muttered to herself, "Why is he so hard to coax..."
