Border Prisoner: The Mad Boss Seduces Her Every Night

"Ms. Lin, this is the School of Media Studies' teaching building." Shi Luyu walked ahead, pointing to a white building on the left. "Most of your classes are on the third floor. I've sent you the classroom numbers to your phone."

Lin Wanqing followed behind her, her gaze shifting from the teaching building to the palm trees by the roadside, and then from the palm trees to the back of Shi Luyu's head, without saying a word.

Shi Luyu led Lin Wanqing through the main road of the campus, past the library, student activity center, and canteen, and briefly introduced the location and function of each place.

Lin Wanqing walked beside her, occasionally asking a question or two, her demeanor unhurried, as if she were strolling through her own backyard.

As Shi Luyu walked along the banyan tree path in front of the art building, she slowed down.

Banyan Tree Path is the main road of the school, lined with decades-old banyan trees whose aerial roots hang down like curtains. Afternoon sunlight filters through the leaves, scattering golden fragments on the ground.

At the end of the road, a figure walked towards the teaching building.

Just as Shi Luyu's lips were about to curve into a smile, the words "Brother Jiajia" were already on the tip of her tongue.

"Ah Yuan!"

Lin Wanqing's voice brushed past her ear, clear and crisp, carrying an undisguised joy.

She jogged a few steps in her high-heeled sandals, her skirt swaying gently in the wind, and ran up to the person. She looked up at him, her smile as bright as the sunshine overhead.

"What a coincidence, what are you doing here?"

Lin Wanqing's call of "A Yuan" left Shi Luyu stunned.

The two words fell from her lips, soft, tender, and natural, as if they had a very intimate and familiar relationship.

Shi Luyu froze, her steps faltering. She hadn't expected a girl to address Xu Yuanjia like that.

They were so intimate that they seemed capable of easily crossing the boundaries of others.

Shi Luyu stared blankly at Lin Wanqing, then slowly turned her head to look at Xu Yuanjia.

Xu Yuanjia stood under the eaves, wearing a black short-sleeved shirt with a white collar underneath. The collar was loose, revealing a section of his cool and neat collarbone. Sunlight shone from the side, highlighting his deep-set eyes and making him appear both casual and noble.

Shi Luyu understood the look in Lin Wanqing's eyes.

As a fellow girl, she could certainly understand it.

That was undisguised admiration and love.

She was passionate and radiant, radiating the pride of a pampered young lady raised with the utmost care, yet she never lost her composure. She stood there, her skirt impeccably clean, her makeup exquisite; even her affection for someone was expressed with grace and beauty.

No one would dislike a girl like that.

Shi Luyu felt as if she had been gently pricked in the chest. The sourness was subtle and light, yet it slowly spread throughout her chest.

Xu Yuanjia walked over at this moment, glanced at Lin Wanqing sideways, and surprisingly took the initiative to speak: "What are you doing here?"

Shi Luyu was even more astonished.

She had known Xu Yuanjia for so long and had heard too many rumors about him.

Everyone at school said he was arrogant, aloof, and didn't bother with anyone. He never interacted much with any girls, and even finding it troublesome to glance at them.

This was the first time she had seen Xu Yuanjia speak to other girls on his own initiative.

Even though his tone wasn't exactly warm, and even carried a hint of nonchalant aloofness.

Lin Wanqing's eyes shone, but she didn't rush forward. She simply smiled lightly:

"I came to Tammy University as an exchange student. There is an international program in the School of Media and Design, and the Lin family happens to have a spot available for collaboration."

She paused, her tone gentle, yet carrying just the right amount of reproach.

"I wanted to tell you in advance, but I was afraid you'd find it annoying. It's quite a coincidence that we bumped into each other today."

Shi Luyu silently watched Xu Yuanjia.

After hearing this, his expression didn't change much; he just chuckled lazily, "The Lin family is willing to put you this far away?"

"Of course my dad is reluctant to let me go," Lin Wanqing said, her eyes crinkling into a smile. "But I insisted on coming."

Whether she was overthinking it or not, Shi Luyu felt there was something more to her words, which made her feel even worse.

Although Xu Yuanjia remained carefree, at least he did not show any disgust or aversion towards Lin Wanqing.

Shi Luyu lowered her eyes, her fingertips unconsciously tightening around the backpack strap.

Xu Yuanjia lazily lifted his eyes, his gaze slowly sweeping over Shi Luyu to the side.

Lin Wanqing keenly noticed Xu Yuanjia's gaze and turned to look at him. Her smile softened, and her tone was natural, as if she meant no harm, "Yuanjia knows her...?"

Xu Yuanjia looked at Shi Luyu, a half-smile playing on his lips.

He was about to speak, "I—"

My darling, that's what he wanted to say.

"Junior sister," Shi Luyu interrupted him hastily, then added haltingly, "I'm just his junior sister."

The air fell silent for a moment.

The smile on Xu Yuanjia's lips faded almost visibly.

Shi Luyu didn't understand.

She only saw his face darken, and thought that she was interrupting their conversation by standing there. The bitterness in her heart surged again, and she quickly lowered her head.

"You guys chat first, I have to rush to class." With that, she hugged her backpack tightly, turned around, and ran away hurriedly.

The girl ran very fast, not even daring to look back.

So she didn't see that Xu Yuanjia behind her was staring at her back, slowly narrowing his eyes.

younger sister?

He touched his back teeth with the tip of his tongue and pulled up the corners of his mouth.

Row.

-

Lin Wanqing's matter troubled Shi Luyu all day long.

During class, the teacher was explaining the rhythm of documentary editing. She stared at the computer screen, but the name "A-Yuan" kept echoing in her mind.

A dull ache settled in her chest, as if someone had stuffed an unripe green plum into her heart, the sourness slowly dissipating, yet she couldn't quite pinpoint the source of the discomfort.

She didn't understand that this emotion was called jealousy.

I just felt that I was very strange.

Lin Wanqing and Xu Yuanjia do seem to have known each other for a long time, perhaps even longer than she does herself.

After all, strictly speaking, she and Xu Yuanjia only spent a short time together when they were young. Later, Xu Yuanjia's whole family came to Southeast Asia, and they haven't been in contact for many years. She can't even be considered a childhood sweetheart in the true sense.

She didn't know whether Xu Yuanjia had been in a relationship or liked anyone else during this period.

They had no idea what his relationship with Lin Wanqing was.

Thinking of this, Shi Luyu couldn't help but sigh softly.

In fact, she felt that she didn't even fully understand Xu Yuanjia.

He's so different from when he was a child.

Their personalities and temperaments are completely different; they are almost worlds apart. Now, his family is wealthy and powerful, and Xu Yuanjia himself is the president of a top-tier technology company. He is the center of attention at school, and people in suits outside treat him with utmost respect.

Many times, Shi Luyu would even feel that the distance between her and him was growing further and further apart.

but……

It seems that without realizing it, she has become more and more dependent on Xu Yuanjia.

After all, they've been through so much together since they reunited.

Shi Luyu was not in good condition all day.

After class, she packed her things to go home, but as soon as she stepped out of the teaching building, she saw Lin Wanqing standing at the bottom of the steps waiting for her.

As soon as she saw Shi Luyu, Lin Wanqing walked over with a smile, "Lulu, right?"

Shi Luyu was somewhat surprised: "Miss Lin?"

Lin Wanqing smiled and said, "Just call me Wanqing."

Her tone was gentle, like a fairy trying to get close to mortals.

"I just arrived in Taimai and don't know anyone here. Ah Yuan told me you're a junior he's quite close to, so can we be friends from now on?"

Upon hearing the name "A Yuan," Shi Luyu felt a tightness in her chest.

The junior student... She forced a smile but didn't say anything.

Even though I was the one who introduced myself as a junior, why do I still feel a pang of jealousy...?

Lin Wanqing, ever the social butterfly, immediately took Lulu's arm and said, "Lulu, I want to buy some clothes, but I'm not familiar with this mall. If you don't have class, could you come with me?"

Shi Luyu didn't really want to go. But Lin Wanqing was so friendly, and she really wasn't good at refusing. She also thought that Lin Wanqing was new to the area and didn't know anyone, so refusing would seem petty.

So she nodded: "Okay."

Lin Wanqing raised an eyebrow, a faint smile flashing in her eyes.
