Border Prisoner: The Mad Boss Seduces Her Every Night

Chapter 26 Childhood Sweetheart Appears

Shi Luyu was dumbfounded.

She immediately burrowed into the covers, buried her head in them, covered her eyes with her hands, only revealing a sliver of her hair, and stammered with embarrassment:

"Brother, brother...you, you should go get dressed quickly."

There was a two-second silence by the bedside.

Immediately afterward, a low chuckle came from above, lazy and amused by her seemingly suffocating expression.

Shi Luyu huddled under the covers, her ears burning red. She dared not move at all, only feeling the mattress beside her loosen slightly, then the wardrobe door was pulled open, and soon the sound of running water came from the bathroom.

The girl then secretly pulled down her cup, revealing her bright, sparkling eyes.

The bedroom was bright with morning light, and the curtains fluttered gently in the sea breeze. Xu Yuanjia came out after taking a shower, changed into a clean, loose black T-shirt, and stood in front of the washbasin, his back view tall and neat.

Shi Luyu pursed her lips. This guy always made her want to disappear into the ground, but then he would turn around and act as if nothing had happened, completely relaxed and natural.

By the time the two finished breakfast, it was almost time for class.

The matte black supercar drove along the coastal highway into the city. When they were a short distance from Taimai University, Shi Luyu quickly turned to Xu Yuanjia and said, "Brother, let's stop here."

Xu Yuanjia glanced at her: "What?"

Shi Luyu blinked her long eyelashes slightly and said vaguely, "It's not good to be too close to the school... I can walk in myself."

Ultimately, it was because they were afraid of being too conspicuous, afraid of being seen by others, and afraid of the rumors spreading like wildfire at school.

Xu Yuanjia understood her little scheme but didn't expose her. He simply tapped his fingertips lightly on the steering wheel and said casually, "Okay."

Shi Luyu breathed a sigh of relief, opened the door and got out of the car. Before leaving, she looked back at him one last time, whispered "Thank you, brother," and then quickly walked towards the school with her bag.

Throughout the journey, she could feel the gaze of the car behind her fixed on her.

-

After the first class ended, the classroom suddenly became lively.

Shi Luyu was tidying up her books and notes when several figures suddenly surrounded her table.

She frowned, her nerves tensing almost reflexively, thinking it was Chen Yutang's people causing trouble again.

Speaking of which, the school was unusually quiet today.

There were still just as many people, but as she walked along, she didn't see a single one of the girls who always seemed to be with Chen Yutang. Even Chen Yutang herself was absent from class today without explanation, as if she had suddenly vanished into thin air.

As Shi Luyu was pondering how to escape, the short-haired girl standing at the front spoke first, her tone polite and courteous:

"Hello, you must be Shi Luyu? My name is Lin Jianxia, ​​and I'm the vice president of the news agency."

As she spoke, she shook her name tag and handed over a stack of documents in her hand.

"The school is preparing to shoot a feature interview, and the news agency and photography club are collaborating on this project. The photography club recommended you to be the photographer."

Shi Luyu was taken aback by her question, and her guard lowered a little: "...Who are you interviewing?"

The girl smiled, as if she were referring to a name known throughout the school.

"Xu Yuanjia".

She had just left his bed... no, his house that morning. Who would have thought that after only a morning apart, she would be going to see him again?

But at least it's easier to find him than to deal with strangers.

She was about to take out her phone to message Xu Yuanjia and ask where he was when she stepped out of the teaching building. She heard two girls talking excitedly by the roadside.

"The crowd at the stadium hasn't dispersed yet! Hsu Yuan-chia actually played basketball today!"

"Really? Isn't he always too lazy to participate in these kinds of activities?"

"Seriously, he came on as a last-minute substitute! Cheng Ye is there too, he looks so handsome—"

Shi Luyu paused in her steps.

The stadium isn't far from here.

She glanced at the time and simply ran over there.

The museum was bustling with noise.

As soon as Shi Luyu squeezed to the sidelines, she saw Xu Yuanjia in the center of the court.

He changed into a black jersey, which accentuated the beautiful lines of his shoulders and arms. His forehead was slightly damp, but his features were sharper than usual. As he ran on the court, he exuded a free and unrestrained energy, radiating youthful vigor and spirit.

This is completely different from how he lazily leaned against the pool table last night.

Dribble, change direction, jump, and shoot.

The man's movements were clean and fast, and the sound of his shoes rubbing against the floor when he landed was also loud.

Cheng Ye on the other side cooperated with him perfectly; they knew each other's positioning with just a glance. The two, one in black and one in white, fought so hard that the entire audience was excited. The boys cheered loudly, and the girls screamed almost non-stop.

Shi Luyu stood on the sidelines, holding documents and a camera, seemingly lost in thought.

She always felt that Xu Yuanjia must have already seen her.

On a few occasions, when he turned to catch the ball, his gaze seemed to inadvertently sweep over this side.

But he didn't linger for her even once.

Xu Yuanjia completely ignored her, which gave Shi Luyu a strange feeling.

But considering that I was representing the photography agency to ask him for an interview, which was essentially asking for favors, I couldn't just walk away.

So she had no choice but to be patient and wait until the game ended.

When the game ended, the crowd surged forward. Xu Yuanjia was surrounded by a group of boys, Cheng Ye had his arm around his shoulder and was laughing and joking, and girls were still pushing forward with water and gifts.

Shi Luyu had no choice but to carry her things and deliberately walk around to the exit where the event was ending, standing on tiptoe to peer into the crowd.

He still didn't look at her.

The subtle awkwardness in her heart became more and more obvious.

On the other side, Cheng Ye had already followed Xu Yuanjia's gaze and spotted the little girl standing at the edge of the crowd, and whistled with delight. "Hey, isn't that your little sister?"

He nudged Xu Yuanjia's shoulder, chuckling and lowering his voice, "Why are you standing with those boring campus reporters you've rejected so many times?"

Xu Yuanjia was still carrying an unopened bottle of water. Upon hearing this, he merely lifted his eyelids lazily and glanced towards the edge of the crowd.

Sure enough, the little girl was there. Holding a camera and documents, she stood on tiptoe, her eyes repeatedly glancing in his direction, clearly waiting for him.

Xu Yuanjia looked at it for two seconds, and his lips twitched slightly.

Cheng Ye clicked his tongue in amazement: "I heard you're raising her like a rabbit. Why don't you go find your little rabbit?"

Xu Yuanjia slowly unscrewed the water bottle, took a sip, and spoke in a tone that was almost leisurely.

"What's the rush?" He looked up, his gaze still steadily fixed on Shi Luyu.

"When you raise a pet, you need to let her learn to recognize her owner on her own."

Cheng Ye let out a "whoa" and laughed meaningfully. Just as he was about to make another joke, his gaze suddenly swept across the crowd and saw something.

"Hey, don't let your little bunny get kidnapped halfway there."

Xu Yuanjia raised an eyebrow listlessly.

Almost simultaneously, Shi Luyu also turned around.

Standing behind me was a young man wearing glasses, with a refined and gentle appearance, a clean-cut demeanor, and a hint of weariness from his journey. He wore a simple white shirt and stood there quietly, exuding a gentle charm that seemed out of place amidst the bustling atmosphere.

He looked at Shi Luyu, his eyes visibly relaxing: "Lulu, I've finally found you."

Not far away, Xu Yuanjia squinted, his gaze passing over the layers of people and landing heavily on the boy's face.

He recognized that face.

In the photos of the documents that Zhou Ji had compiled for him.

—Xu Jia.

Shi Luyu's true childhood sweetheart.
