Border Prisoner: The Mad Boss Seduces Her Every Night

Shi Luyu's face suddenly flushed.

Almost instinctively, she shrank back, her eyelashes fluttering, even her ears turning bright red, and stammered in denial, "N-of course not!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she pushed Xu Yuanjia out of shame and indignation.

It wasn't a great force, but it was enough to suddenly widen the distance between the two who were too close.

Clutching her bag, she turned and ran towards the car, her movements as swift as a startled rabbit.

A breeze blew, and the girl's soft hair brushed against his chest, the ends carrying a faint sweet fragrance. It brushed against the tip of his high nose, tickling him slightly, and making his eyes grow heavy.

Xu Yuanjia stood there, looking down as she hurriedly got into the passenger seat, a slight smile playing on his lips.

He turned around, got into the car, closed the door, and started the engine.

Shi Luyu sat upright, her face still flushed, her fingers unconsciously twisting the seatbelt as she whispered, "Brother Jiajia, please take me home."

Xu Yuanjia didn't respond, but simply turned the steering wheel with one hand and drove the car away.

The car was quiet, the air conditioning was blowing softly, and the neon lights outside the window gradually lit up.

At first, Shi Luyu didn't think much of it, but after more than ten minutes, as she looked at the increasingly unfamiliar and luxurious street scene outside the window, she finally realized something was wrong.

This is not the direction she is heading back to her rented apartment.

Outside the car window, the glass curtain walls of tall buildings shone like pieces of cold gold in the night, and the roadside was lined with luxury cars whose names she couldn't recognize. Even the shop windows of the corner mall were dazzlingly glamorous.

Shi Luyu turned her head and whispered a reminder: "This is not the way back to my house."

She paused, then, as if suddenly remembering something, tentatively added, "By the way, Jiajia brother, do you not know where I live? My home is—"

"Know."

Xu Yuanjia interrupted her, his tone flat, "Yunting Mansion, Block A, Room 1207."

Shi Luyu was stunned for a moment.

That was the address of the apartment she rented in Taimai; even the house number was exactly the same.

She opened her mouth slightly, but couldn't say anything for a moment.

What she didn't know was that in the hours after they parted, Xu Yuanjia did two things.

One task was to clean up the body in the trunk.

The other thing is to investigate her thoroughly.

Her school, major, rented apartment, parents' business, general life story, and even her blog account with only a few thousand followers, including its update frequency and usual filming routes, were all meticulously compiled into several pages and sent to him.

The SUV eventually stopped in the most affluent area of ​​Taimai CBD.

Shi Luyu looked up at the brightly lit super shopping mall in front of her and for a moment wondered if she had wandered into the wrong world.

The entire building looked like it was built with money. The fountain at the entrance was covered with gorgeous light strips, the fragrance was pleasant, the doormen were well-trained, and even the people coming and going were dressed in the kind of luxurious and respectable style that you would only see in a movie.

"Get out of the car," Xu Yuanjia said, turning off the engine.

Shi Luyu didn't move, her hand still on the seatbelt, looking both wary and bewildered: "What are we doing here?"

Xu Yuanjia had already gotten out of the car, walked around the front of the car, and walked to the passenger side, where he opened the door directly.

He was tall, standing where the night met the lights, his shoulders and back sharp, his mixed-race features accentuated by the neon lights. When he looked down at people, his languid air was even more alluring.

"I'll take you to buy a camera."

Shi Luyu was even more confused. Although her family was well-off, even if her father was hospitalized, her mother could still maintain a middle-class family income.

But it was precisely because she felt sorry for her mother that she wisely became thrifty and frugal in managing the household expenses.

She honestly replied, "I can't afford anything here."

Xu Yuanjia seemed not to hear her at all, bent down, grabbed her wrist firmly, and pulled her out of the car.

He didn't pull back, and Shi Luyu was pulled so hard that she stumbled. Her wrist was sore from the pressure that she frowned slightly.

This subtle discomfort caught his eye, and Xu Yuanjia paused, then remembered what he should pretend to be—

what!

I almost forgot, this imposter is now supposed to play the role of a gentle and gentlemanly childhood sweetheart.

Gentle... how should I act that again?

He softened his grip and even lowered his tone, replying, "I'll buy it for you, brother."

He spoke slowly, his voice carrying a hint of coaxing at the end: "Consider it a gift for our reunion."

Shi Luyu's ears burned when he called her "brother," and before she knew it, he had already half-led and half-dragged her into the mall.

Five minutes later, she stood in a high-end digital flagship store, completely dumbfounded.

The salesperson greeted him with an exceptionally warm smile: "Good evening, sir. What kind of equipment are you looking for? Is it for your girlfriend? We've recently received several new models—"

"No, no." Shi Luyu blushed and quickly waved her hands to explain, "He's not my boyfriend, he's my brother."

"Oh, so it's you, brother." The shop assistant's smile remained unchanged, but her eyes became more subtle.

Xu Yuanjia neither explained nor denied it.

He walked straight to the display area and casually pointed to the top-of-the-line models on the counter: "This one, this one, and those three series over there, bring them all out."

The shop assistant was taken aback, but immediately did as instructed.

At first, Shi Luyu thought he was just looking around, but three minutes later, a row of top-of-the-line cameras and lenses were laid out on the counter, covering the glass surface like a dark mass, like an arms display.

Xu Yuanjia stood in the middle, his expression indifferent, his slender fingers casually brushing across the machine body, as if he were picking out a pile of unimportant ornaments.

"This is too heavy, replace it."

"Take two sets of this."

"Wrap that up too."

"It also includes a stabilizer, monitor, spare batteries, and cards—all the best available."

He spoke casually, but several shop assistants behind him were already jogging along, wishing they could move the entire store over. Even the store manager personally came out to help.

Shi Luyu was alarmed and quickly stepped forward to stop him: "That's enough! Brother Jiajia, I really don't need that much..."

She tried to reach out to stop him, but Xu Yuanjia didn't even blink. He grabbed her head with his hand, pinning her down in front of him and half-trapping her in his arms.

This action is too intimate and too forceful, like pinning down a restless little animal.

With his other hand, he held a black gold card between two fingers and handed it to the teller.

"brush."

A few seconds later, a long string of numbers appeared on the cashier's screen.

Shi Luyu only had time to catch a glimpse of the zeros at the end before her scalp tingled: "Brother, I can't possibly use all of this, and I can't pay it back!"

Xu Yuanjia glanced down at her, then suddenly raised his hand and covered her eyes.

When his palm touched her, it carried a clean, cool fragrance and body temperature. Shi Luyu's breathing became erratic, and her eyelashes unconsciously brushed against his palm.

The man bent down, his thin lips close to her ear, his voice low and tinged with an almost eerie playfulness: "The pleasure you bring me—"

"It's worth the price."

The hot, moist breath brushed against her earlobe, and Shi Luyu's face almost burned instantly.

She couldn't understand the deeper meaning behind those words at all; she only felt a burning sensation on her ear and her heart pounding wildly.

As soon as he let go, the teller respectfully handed the card back with both hands.

Shi Luyu stood there, her ears so red they looked like they were about to bleed, and it took her a long time to recover.

As I walked out of the digital store, the air conditioning and fragrance in the mall were mixed together, and the lights were so bright they were dazzling.

Several shop assistants carefully carried their large and small bags of equipment behind them, escorting them all the way to the door. The entourage was quite impressive.

Holding the thin receipt, Shi Luyu felt incredibly guilty.

"Brother Jiajia..." she finally couldn't help but whisper, "I really feel bad that you bought me so much."

Xu Yuanjia looked down at her, his expression unreadable, and replied casually, "If you can't get through it... then buy me a cup of milk tea."

She readily agreed, her tone very serious, "I'll treat you to the most expensive drink!"

Xu Yuanjia laughed, a slight smirk playing on his lips, "I've already had the most expensive one."

He lazily pointed ahead, "That one, I haven't tried it."

Shi Luyu looked in the direction he pointed.

Across from the mall, nestled among the glittering windows of luxury brands, stands a surprisingly simple and welcoming shop – Xuemi Ice Cream.

She was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Okay!" she agreed quickly, turning and running off. "Wait for me!"

Xu Yuanjia stood still, watching her jog through the crowd, her white skirt and camera strap swaying gently under the lights, like a soft, oblivious glow.

A few minutes later, Shi Luyu carefully emerged from the shop, holding two cups of milk tea in her hands.

She looked down at the rim of the glass, wondering which one had less ice and which one had regular sugar, when she looked up and suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Not far ahead, Zhou Ji was leading a group of men in black uniforms across the plaza outside the mall.

The crisp, hard black uniform, with its black and gold serpent and eagle emblem on the epaulets, gleamed coldly under the neon lights, like a blade slicing across a person's neck in the rain.

Shi Luyu's breath hitched.

In that instant, the torrential rain behind the mountain temple, the blood in the shrine, the dragged corpse on the stone steps, the flickering dim light in the Buddhist hall...

And the arrow that pierced her body from behind, almost simultaneously surged up from the depths of her memory.

The wound on my back, which had just healed, seemed to be starting to ache again.

Her fingers tightened suddenly, deforming the cup of milk tea. The icy liquid spilled onto the back of her hand, but she was oblivious, staring intently at the group of people approaching step by step.

They weren't walking fast, but every step felt like stepping on her nerves that were stretched to their limit.

And the direction they came from was directly towards her and Xu Yuanjia.
