Border Prisoner: The Mad Boss Seduces Her Every Night

Chapter 24 She Searched for Her Brother in the Middle of the Night

Shi Luyu saw her phone suddenly light up, and she looked down, instinctively reaching for it.

Before her hand could even touch the screen, a long, slender, pale hand reached out and pulled her over.

"Why--"

Caught off guard, Shi Luyu swayed and found herself sitting on Xu Yuanjia's lap.

Xu Yuanjia lowered his eyes to look at her, pulled her into his arms with one hand, and said in a very casual tone: "You're not allowed to look at anything else while eating."

Shi Luyu's ears burned, and she couldn't help but struggle: "I'll just take a look."

She reached for her phone, but Xu Yuanjia pushed the plate in front of her and said slowly, "You can't peel shrimp."

"Peel it for me to eat."

Shi Luyu: "You..."

Helpless, she could only obediently put on disposable gloves and bend down to peel shrimp. She moved slowly and carefully, her fingers turning pink from the heat. After peeling one, she had to raise her hand to feed it to his lips.

Xu Yuanjia didn't stand on ceremony with her, leaning back lazily in his chair and starting to eat.

Slow and deliberate, chewing slowly and carefully.

As Shi Luyu fed him, she felt something was off and couldn't help but complain in a low voice, "You clearly know how to peel them, don't you?"

Xu Yuanjia lowered his eyes, took the shrimp from her fingertip with a clear conscience, and replied indifferently, "Yes."

"But I'm lazy."

Shi Luyu was speechless, and could only curse him in her heart.

After finishing her meal, she put the dishes in the dishwasher, wiped her hands, and finally picked up her phone again.

But then I discovered that the new message was gone.

Only one spam sales message lay quietly on the screen.

[Dear user, limited-time offers on properties in Taimai New District...]

Shi Luyu was stunned for a moment. Could it be that her eyes were playing tricks on her when she was eating?

I assumed I had misjudged the phone and didn't think much of it, casually flipping it back onto the table.

The young and naive girl could never have imagined that in just a few minutes, the message that was actually sent to her phone had been silently hacked into the system and completely replaced.

……

Later that evening, the rain intensified.

The entire sea was shrouded in darkness by the night and the sound of thunder. Waves crashed against the rocks, and white foam was washed away in the darkness.

The billiard room on the second floor of the villa was lit with warm golden lights, and the lightning flashing outside the floor-to-ceiling windows made the dark edges of the billiard table glow slightly.

After taking a shower, Xu Yuanjia changed into a black bathrobe, the belt loosely tied and the collar undone. He stood by the table, holding a cue stick in one hand, with a wine glass beside him in the other, the ice pucks in the glass clinking lightly twice.

My phone on the table vibrated.

It was a message sent by Zhou Ji.

[Xu Jia's closed-off activities will end in four days.]

[Once they leave, they can return to Taimai in as little as two days.]

A few seconds later, a third one popped up.

Should we ensure he never comes back?

This was said calmly, as if asking whether to get rid of something of little value.

Xu Yuanjia glanced down at the screen for a moment, his expression unchanged, and his fingertips flew across the screen:

【Need not. 】

Let him come back.

As the message was sent, a soft "tap tap" of footsteps suddenly sounded from outside the door behind me.

Xu Yuanjia turned around.

Shi Luyu stood at the door, still wearing his white shirt. The shirt was excessively large, hanging loosely on her body, with the hem reaching her thighs, revealing a pair of fair and slender calves.

She was still holding a pillow in her arms, her hair was slightly disheveled and hung over her shoulders, and she looked like a little animal that had gotten lost in the middle of the night, standing there timidly looking at him.

Xu Yuanjia casually placed his phone face down on the table, looked up at her, and asked, "Why are you standing there instead of sleeping?"

He beckoned to me: "Come here."

Shi Luyu, clutching a pillow, slowly walked in and whispered, "Brother, it's still thundering... I... I'm a little scared."

A bolt of lightning flashed past the window, illuminating the sea in a stark white light.

Xu Yuanjia chuckled, reached out and pulled her over, wrapping his arm around her waist with one hand, and effortlessly lifted her to sit down at the pool table.

Shi Luyu gasped softly and hurriedly clutched her pillow.

"Afraid of thunder?" Xu Yuanjia slowly lowered his gaze, his eyes sweeping over her with a tangible intensity, his expression nonchalant.

"Then play some billiards with me."

Shi Luyu sat sideways at the pool table, a pillow clutched in her arms, the hem of her shirt appearing somewhat thin under the light. She was about to say she didn't know how, but the next second, Xu Yuanjia had already leaned over and braced himself against the edge of the table, his long arm pressing down steadily.

The club is sent out.

"Clatter—"

A black ball went into the pocket.

His movements were swift and graceful, his shoulders and back taut as he bent and rose, his black bathrobe clinging to his waist, exuding a subtle yet dangerous aura. His demeanor was both focused and relaxed; at this moment, billiards, thunderstorms, or the endless night were merely trivial pastimes at his disposal.

Shi Luyu hugged her pillow and watched him send the ball into the hole one shot after another, and inexplicably fell silent.

Outside the window, the sea was filled with lightning and thunder.

Inside the window, you could hear the crisp sound of balls gently hitting each other.

It was a rare moment of quiet between the two.

Just then, Shi Luyu's phone rang.

She looked down, her eyes lit up, and she immediately answered, "Hello, Mom."

Lin Jing's voice quickly came from the other end: "Lulu, Mom saw the weather forecast and it says there will be thunderstorms in Taimai today. You said you were afraid of thunder last time, so I called you right away."

Upon hearing her voice, Shi Luyu's tone softened, and she smiled sweetly, "Mommy, I missed you so much."

The person on the other end of the phone chuckled, "I'll pick you up for a trip to Myanmar when you're on vacation, okay? Are you busy with school lately? Are you finding it difficult to live alone?"

Shi Luyu subconsciously looked up and glanced at Xu Yuanjia, who was adjusting his pole position with a normal expression not far away. She felt inexplicably guilty, pursed her lips quietly, and still said:

"Yeah, I... I'm fine on my own."

Lin Jing then asked, "How are things going with your brother Jiajia?"

Shi Luyu paused for a moment, then lowered her voice even further: "It's...it's alright."

"That's good." Lin Jing felt a little relieved, but then reminded her, "Make sure you lock the doors and windows properly when you're home, and don't be as careless as you were when you were a child."

"good--"

Just as Shi Luyu uttered a single word, a dark shadow suddenly appeared beside her.

Without warning, an arm wrapped around her waist and pulled her back.

Caught off guard, Shi Luyu let out a short gasp, nearly dropping the pillow she was holding. She was pressed down and fell backward, sinking softly into the dark green pool table.

Xu Yuanjia leaned down and pressed down, getting excessively close.

He almost covered her with half his body, his warm breath falling on her, the golf club passing above her collarbone, drawing a deliberately low and dangerous arc.

"Sorry," he said lazily, his voice so heavy it immobilized her, his eyes deep and mocking, "we're missing a support pole."

On the other end of the phone, Lin Jing clearly heard the noise and immediately asked, "What's wrong, Lulu? Who's talking? Who are you with?"
