Border Prisoner: The Mad Boss Seduces Her Every Night

Xu Yuanjia spoke calmly, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

She asked a question, but he didn't answer it.

He didn't answer the question.

Or rather, rather than revealing the answer, Hsu Yuan-Chia would rather admit it and acknowledge that she won this round.

What the hell is this?

Shi Luyu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and a dull ache rose in her chest.

She suddenly realized that this might be the answer.

Because he couldn't answer, or there simply wasn't an answer, he preferred to let her win.

Does that mean—

From beginning to end, he never had any feelings for her.

All that gentleness, patience, indulgence, and favoritism was merely his lofty whim, a performance he casually put on while playing the role of Xu Jia.

She was the only one who truly immersed herself in the role and gave herself completely to it.

She is the only clown.

The moment this thought popped into my head, the sour feeling in my chest spread rapidly, so much so that even my fingertips started to go numb.

Shi Luyu even wanted to laugh for a moment, laughing at herself for being able to doubt, expect, and feel sad at a time like this, as if she still had some ridiculous fantasy about something.

Xu Yuanjia looked at her and suddenly asked, "Why aren't you saying anything?"

Shi Luyu curled her lips slightly, "I won, what else is there to say?"

You look unhappy.

"Why should I be unhappy?" she asked too quickly.

Xu Yuanjia narrowed his eyes, his gaze lingering on her face for a moment, "Lulu."

"Don't call me." Her voice was soft, but chillingly cold.

Xu Yuanjia pursed his lips slightly, as if he wanted to add something to his earlier silence.

But the words caught in his throat, and he stopped, unsure of what to say in this situation.

Shi Luyu tried her best to pull herself out of her deep depression, even though it was difficult.

Even if you can't pull it out, you should pretend to be nonchalant.

She couldn't let him know.

Absolutely not.

So the girl forcefully suppressed all her emotions, and even her eyes quickly turned cold.

A few seconds later, I heard myself say in an extremely calm voice, "Then I'll trouble you to keep your word, Master Jia."

After a long silence, she said, "Let me go."

The four words were spoken clearly, with even the last syllable completely concealed, as if as long as one remained calm enough, one could suppress the almost unbearable bitterness.

Xu Yuanjia immediately noticed something was wrong.

He looked at her, the relaxed smile in his eyes completely gone.

Shi Luyu showed nothing on her face and spoke calmly, but it was precisely because she was so calm that it made it all the more clear how deeply she had been hurt by that silence.

She is sad.

"Shi Luyu." He called her by her full name for the first time.

She simply turned her face away and said, "You said it yourself, I won."

Shi Luyu finally looked at him again, the redness in her eyes still lingering, but her tone was calm to the point of stubbornness.

"I didn't force you to answer if you didn't want to."

"Anyway, I won." She kept repeating this sentence.

Xu Yuanjia pursed his lips slightly, as if he wanted to say something. But before he could even open his mouth and utter a sound, Shi Luyu spoke first.

"No, that's not right." She suddenly changed her mind.

His voice remained calm, even more so than before, "You must teach me as promised."

Xu Yuanjia looked at her.

Shi Luyu was also looking at him.

The two were very close, but their eyes turned cold.

They were clearly so close, yet their gazes were separated by an invisible chill. The lingering ambiguity had vanished, leaving only an unspoken, tentative understanding between them.

The subtle ambiguity, like a thin veil, drifts away with the cool night breeze, leaving only a game of strategy.

Shi Luyu paused for a moment, then finally laid out what she really wanted in front of him.

"Teach me how to escape from here."

Her voice wasn't loud, but each word was enunciated clearly: "Escape from you."

After saying that, Shi Luyu raised her hand and pushed him away.

She wasn't particularly strong, but her strength was enough to make her stance clear. Her legs were still a little weak when she got out of bed, but she didn't stop walking. She didn't even look at him again, turning and heading towards the bathroom.

She closed the door gently.

But the soft sound that entered the room made the entire bedroom seem even quieter.

The rain outside the window stopped sometime ago.

The wind stopped.

Only the deep night of the mountains remained, with mist still clinging to the outside of the glass, floating in layers, shrouding the entire rainforest in a hazy and damp atmosphere. Water droplets were still sliding down the glass, but no longer with the previous rapid and restless force.

Xu Yuanjia sat alone on the edge of the bed.

His whole being was gloomy.

He remained in the same position, neither moving immediately nor chasing after them.

The warm yellow light in the bedroom illuminated the fine wrinkles on his white silk shirt, making the emotions on his face even more apparent.

The faint sound of water soon came from the bathroom. Separated by a door, the sound was not clear, but it gradually fell into the silence.

Xu Yuanjia did not turn around.

He just sat there quietly, his back tall and straight, but his whole being was unusually quiet.

That kind of quiet was not peaceful, but like a mountain forest after a storm. The wind stopped, the birds fell silent, and the more still it was, the more suffocating it felt.

After a long while, he slowly raised his hand.

He reached under the pillow and pulled something out.

—A bottle of birth control pills.

The small white medicine box lay quietly in his palm, the edges of the packaging slightly wrinkled, as if it had been hastily stuffed in and hadn't been properly hidden.

The night outside the window became completely quiet.

Xu Yuanjia looked down, his expression blank.

With just a gentle turn of the fingertip on the box, the movement was slow and light, as if playing with an interesting toy.

His eyelashes were lowered, and the light fell on his excessively handsome face, but it couldn't penetrate his eyes at all.

His dark eyes were like a bottomless pool of stagnant water, devoid of anger, laughter, or any ripples.

A moment later, he chuckled very softly.

The smile was so faint it was almost inaudible, and the corners of her lips merely lifted casually for a moment before returning to their straight state.

His slender fingers slowly caressed the edge of the medicine box, one stroke at a time, with an almost eerie patience.

Xu Yuanjia lowered his eyelashes and slowly gathered the medicine box into his palm.

The finger bones, due to the force applied, faintly revealed a layer of cold white.

The sound of water continued in the bathroom, and the mist gradually rose onto the frosted glass, making the slender figure appear hazy.

He didn't look over there again.

He just sat there quietly, his whole being seemingly being gradually soaked by the night, so gloomy that he almost blended into the shadows of the room.

Those eyes, however, never left the medicine box in his palm.

It felt less like looking at a box of medicine and more like piecing together every detail of the evening.

Her sudden obedience, her eager kisses, her proactive seduction, and those bawdy words she'd picked up from who-knows-where.

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

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

Oh.

It turned out to be the case.
