The rain was still falling outside the bedroom.

It wasn't an ordinary night rain; it was the kind of torrential rain that could plunge the entire mountain forest into darkness.

The wind, carrying rain, lashed down on the entire floor-to-ceiling window.

Water droplets spread wildly across the glass surface, then slid down in long, messy wet streaks.

Thunder rumbled from the horizon, low and muffled deep within the clouds, followed by a blinding white flash of lightning that cleaved the night sky, illuminating every outline in the room with a sharp edge in an instant.

Shi Luyu sat on the dressing table, with the bag containing medicine behind her.

Her palms were cold and damp, but her fingertips were hot.

My chest was heaving rapidly, but I was trying my best to keep it down, not daring to let my breathing become too disordered.

She knew that if she showed even the slightest sign of something amiss, Xu Yuanjia would follow that line and peel away all her disguises inch by inch.

So she had no choice but to endure it.

I tried my best to suppress the panic in my heart, to keep my eyes closed, and to suppress the subconscious urge to look back.

She even deliberately restrained the trembling of her eyelashes, not daring to reveal too much panic, and could only carefully observe Xu Yuanjia's expression.

Unfortunately, nothing can be seen.

The man stood in front of her, with the entire floor-to-ceiling window behind him, as if a storm was brewing.

The dark green suit was illuminated by the lightning flashes outside the window, casting a cold, eerie light. The collar of the white silk shirt was slightly loose, yet the skin remained excessively pale.

That face was half-lit and half-shadowed, with sharp bone structure and deep-set eyes.

A faint light flickered in the depths of his eyes, slowly flowing in the darkness, like some dangerous creature opening its eyes in the night.

His emotions did not appear to fluctuate much.

He was neither clearly moved by her earlier call of "brother" nor did he immediately expose her current disheveled state.

What made Shi Luyu feel even more uneasy was that he was very clear-headed and rational, and did not sway her emotions in the slightest.

Even though she was still holding his hand, even though the deliberately created ambiguous atmosphere still hung between them.

Xu Yuanjia's gaze remained indifferent and clear, as if he were standing outside the game, coldly watching her clumsy performance.

She originally thought that even if she only took the initiative slightly, she could still make him lose his composure for a moment.

No. He didn't.

The last vestige of hope in Shi Luyu's chest slowly sank away.

"Shi Luyu." After a long while, Xu Yuanjia finally spoke.

His voice was low and unreadable, "What do you want?"

As he spoke, he subtly moved his wrist, as if trying to pull it out of her palm.

Shi Luyu was startled and almost instinctively pressed him down even faster.

She dared not let go. She was afraid that if she did, his next move would most likely be to touch the bag behind her.

But she hadn't figured out what to do next.

She's not completely incapable of seducing, tempting, feigning weakness, or acting coquettishly.

I just didn't need to use these things intentionally before, so I wasn't good at them.

Moreover, she is inherently resilient and unyielding, and her greatest strength has always been to stubbornly resist and fight back.

Asking her to take the initiative to please someone, especially Xu Yuanjia, at a time like this was so embarrassing and awkward it felt like it was tearing her apart.

Even the most embarrassing situation is better than letting him discover the medicine.

Thinking of this, Shi Luyu bit her lip, as if she had been pushed to a certain limit and had instead developed a bit of the courage to go all in.

She still held his wrist with one hand, and slowly raised the other hand to wrap around the man's neck.

Her movements were very awkward, so awkward that it was almost obvious at a glance that she had never taken the initiative like this before.

When I raise my arm, even my shoulder line is taut, as if I have to convince myself before moving forward an inch.

Her fingertips circled around and just barely touched his shoulder.

Because of being too nervous, my elbow slightly tilted and accidentally touched a small patch of skin on the back of his neck.

The temperature there was hotter than she had imagined. Shi Luyu froze for a moment, her breathing became erratic, and even her eyelashes trembled slightly.

But she dared not stop.

If you stop, all your previous efforts will be wasted.

So she had no choice but to grit her teeth and continue leaning forward, her movements slow and almost clumsy.

Like a bird forced to learn to fly, even though its wings haven't fully grown, it's already stumbling and staggering towards the edge of a cliff.

She drew closer and closer to him, close enough to smell his cool yet dangerous aura, so close that the heat on her face almost reached his lips.

At that moment, she could even hear her own heartbeat, faster and faster, so chaotic and disordered that it almost betrayed her entire being.

A flash of lightning suddenly illuminated the outside of the window.

She tilted her head back, wanting to touch his lips.

This was the first time she had ever taken the initiative to please someone like this.

She was so close that even the faint shadow cast by his lowered eyelashes was clearly reflected in his eyes.

She could even see the slightest tremor, and how the light brushed against his brow bone, bridge of his nose, and lip line.

She could feel her own burning breath, inch by inch, as she rushed closer and closer to the dangerously close distance between them.

Shi Luyu's heart was pounding so hard it hurt—

However, just before her lips were about to touch, she saw the man tilt his head slightly.

The kiss missed. Without any hesitation, he turned his head away from her kiss.

Shi Luyu froze on the spot.

The air was eerily quiet.

Even the sound of the torrential rain outside the window seemed to fade into the distance at that moment, leaving only her own rapid, almost embarrassing breathing, and the increasingly intense scrutiny in the eyes so close to hers.

She slowly raised her eyes and met Xu Yuanjia's gaze.

The man looked at her with his eyes half-lowered, his gaze devoid of the passion she had expected, instead calm to the point of being sharp.

It's like watching a small animal that has suddenly learned to crawl into your palm; it feels novel and interesting, but you never forget to be on guard.

"Lulu's been unusually proactive today," he finally said.

His voice was still languid, but the ending notes were very low, as if he had already seen through her.

As he spoke, his hand slowly descended, his fingertips lifting a corner of the edge of her leather skirt with a very light touch, almost casually.

Shi Luyu's breathing became erratic, and before she could dodge, the man had already lifted his eyes and was staring straight at her.

"Why?" he asked, his voice laced with sarcasm.

Shi Luyu's throat tightened, and she couldn't answer at all.

"Haven't you always hated me and loathed me?" Xu Yuanjia slowly smiled.

"What does that mean now?"

The words sounded flat, but as they fell, they tightened inch by inch, leaving her nowhere to hide.

The lights, the thunder and rain, and the water stains on the French windows were all weighed down even more by these few questions.

Shi Luyu swallowed subconsciously, only to find her throat extremely dry.

She had to say something.

We must say something immediately.

"I lost the bet." She lied, her voice trembling, "I... I accept my loss."

After hearing this, Xu Yuanjia suddenly laughed.

The laughter was light, yet it sent chills down your spine more than a cold expression. "A bet's a bet?"

He seemed to have genuinely heard something funny, and slowly repeated it, then lazily reminded her:

"Lulu, you haven't forgotten what the bet was, have you?"

Shi Luyu certainly hadn't forgotten.

It is precisely because she hasn't forgotten that she hates him even more.

Cream puffs.

From that night onward, those two words became inextricably linked with shame, embarrassment, and disgrace.

Shi Luyu swore she would never eat cream puffs again in her life!

But these are not the most important things right now.

Most importantly, the bag containing birth control pills was still behind her.

Shi Luyu subtly moved back a little, using her body as cover to quietly pull her bag further behind her waist. The movement was so subtle that she wasn't sure if she had been noticed.

To attract Xu Yuanjia's attention, the girl gritted her teeth, raised her face, and said with a forced smile:

"If you're going to start, then... then hurry up."

To make the lie seem more believable, she tried to back down, saying, "I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep."

But in fact, as soon as she said those words, she felt a chill run down her spine.

Xu Yuanjia, however, seemed completely amused by her. "Hurry up?"

He raised an eyebrow, a hint of mockery in the corner of his eye. "Me?"

Shi Luyu's face suddenly felt hot.

"Is this your first time doing this with me, sweetie?"

He slowly leaned closer, his tone even somewhat innocent, "How can something like this be done quickly?"

"Brother can't be faster." He tilted his head slightly, raised his eyebrows, and looked unusually innocent.

Even his tone was sticky and frank, as if he were seriously stating some perfectly normal fact, yet there was a faint smile hidden on his lips.

Shi Luyu's face turned bright red, and her ears burned as well.

Shame and anger surged up at once, making her head spin. She had originally intended to remain calm and negotiate, but his teasing remark had completely overwhelmed her.

She pushed him away and struggled to jump off the dressing table.

"If you don't want to play, then leave..."

"I need to rest—ah!" Before she could finish speaking, her neck suddenly tightened.

Xu Yuanjia lowered his head, his teeth gripping the peach-colored lace choker around her neck. The man tilted his head and tugged, the delicate lace stretching taut between his teeth before snapping off with a "snap."

When that bit of fabric slipped from her neck, Shi Luyu trembled slightly.

She looked down and saw the broken lace fluttering down, hanging diagonally on his dark green suit.

The soft, peach-colored trim is wrapped around the cold, stiff fabric, creating a striking contrast.

The contrast between light and heavy, soft and cold, creates an almost absurd sense of ambiguity.

The piece of lace he had ripped off still carried the warmth of her neck, clinging crookedly to his chest.

Like a private ornament forcibly removed, or like a piece of evidence she left behind on him in her haste.

Shi Luyu stared at that color, her face flushing even more, her breath becoming short and rapid.

She felt as if the broken collar had landed not on his clothes, but on her heart, easily bringing up all her shame and embarrassment.

Shi Luyu was losing her patience and, in a fit of anger and embarrassment, said, "What...what exactly do you want...ugh!"

Before the last word was even finished, the man had already lowered his head and kissed her.

She didn't even have a chance to utter a single complete word before he cut her off.

His breathing suddenly became erratic, and only faint, indistinct breaths remained between his lips and teeth.

He crushed it little by little and pushed it back deep into his throat.

Shi Luyu's shoulders and back trembled slightly. She subconsciously tried to back away, but her lower back was firmly held by him, and she was trapped in the narrow space in front of him with no way to escape.

Outside, the wind and rain raged, the thunder rumbled low, and rainwater trickled down the glass in streaks.

The room was eerily quiet, so quiet that only their intertwined breaths could be heard, along with the faint, stifling noises that escaped their lips and tongues, and the fragmented sobs she was forced to utter.

Xu Yuanjia kissed her deeply, yet with a touch of slow, deliberate wickedness.

Shi Luyu was so overwhelmed by the kisses that her mind went blank and even her fingertips went weak.

In the end, even her struggles seemed insignificant, and she could only let him gradually wear down all her embarrassment, shame, and stubbornness.

After a long while, he stepped back a little.

Their breathing was erratic, and their foreheads were almost touching.

Xu Yuanjia looked down at her, his eyes dark and his lips curved into a faint smile.

He raised his hand, hooked the severed collar off, wrapped it around his knuckles once, and then lazily spoke:

"Why don't you say something nice to me, Lulu?"

He looked up at her, a faint, cold light in his eyes. "If you're in a good mood, maybe you won't be so tired tonight."

Shi Luyu was both angry and ashamed, her heart in turmoil.

But she also knew that resistance was futile.

Hitting him, scolding him, glaring at him—these things only fueled Xu Yuanjia's anger. The more she bristled, the more excited he became. The more she hated him, the more amusing he found it.

Instead of doing it this way, let's try a different approach.

She stared at him for a long time, biting her lips until they were slightly red. Her moist, glossy lips trembled slightly, and after a long while, she finally loosened them little by little.

She forced herself to soften her voice, so soft that even she herself couldn't stand it:

"I want...I want to be my brother's little cream puff..."

After saying that, she was practically bursting with rage.

My ears, cheeks, and neck were all burning hot.

The smile in Xu Yuanjia's eyes slowly faded, clearly indicating that he was not satisfied.

Shi Luyu also knew.

So she gritted her teeth, gripping the edge of the dressing table tightly with her fingertips, and managed to squeeze out the remaining sentence with difficulty:

"Let...brother enjoy it as he pleases..."

As soon as she uttered the last two words, her voice became hoarse.

The room fell silent for a second.

Thunder rumbled outside the window, and rain pounded against the glass, making it tremble. In the flickering light, Xu Yuanjia looked down at her, as if he had finally tasted the true flavor of this clumsy yet daring performance.

He didn't speak immediately. He simply reached out and slowly touched her burning face.

His fingertips brushed against her cheek with a light touch, almost with pity, but his eyes were terrifyingly deep.

"Lulu," he called her, his voice low. "You've gone astray."

"But my brother likes it very much."

Xu Yuanjia looked at her, the smile on his lips both mischievous and slow.

As if deliberately enjoying her blushing, flustered state, he held onto the severed pink lace still twirling between his fingers. He casually twisted it, lowered his eyes to gaze at her, and spoke in a low, almost coaxing tone:

"Come on, say it again."

Shi Luyu froze completely.

She knew perfectly well that this person was deliberately teasing her, yet she was forced into a corner with no way out.

A wave of heat surged up her face, even burning the corners of her eyes. Her lips moved, her fingertips gripping the edge of the dressing table tightly. After a long while, she managed to squeeze out a few words:

"Brother... mmm!"

She did make a big breakthrough tonight.

During the process of seducing Xu Yuanjia.

She called him "brother" many times.

She took the initiative to ask him for a kiss.

Take the initiative to seduce him.

Furthermore, after "brother," there are several unclear words:

No, reject me.
