Border Prisoner: The Mad Boss Seduces Her Every Night

"What is my brother saying? I don't understand!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shi Luyu practically jumped out of bed.

Her face turned bright red, and she didn't even step properly in her slippers before running barefoot into the bathroom and slamming the door shut.

The door panel blocked out Xu Yuanjia's low laughter, which was both lazy and wicked.

Shi Luyu leaned against the bathroom door, raised her hand to cover her chest, and felt her heart beating abnormally fast.

She stood there for several seconds before slowly walking to the sink and turning on the faucet.

Cold water gushed out. She lowered her head to brush her teeth, but her thoughts were wandering aimlessly.

Xu Yuanjia didn't follow her in, which relieved her a little. But after relaxing, she felt a strange emptiness in her heart.

She slowly stopped brushing her teeth, then suddenly looked up at herself in the mirror.

Disappointment?

Why was she disappointed?

It's perfectly normal that he didn't follow her in. She was already incredibly embarrassed, which is why she ran into the bathroom to hide from him. Now that he really didn't come in, what is she thinking?

Shi Luyu stared at herself in the mirror.

The girl in the mirror still had red eyes, her lips were moistened by the hot water, and her cheeks were flushed with a light pink. She looked like she was hiding some unspeakable secret.

For no apparent reason, Shi Luyu's heart suddenly trembled.

perhaps……

She was thinking, perhaps...

Have I already fallen for Xu Yuanjia?

This thought inexplicably popped into her mind, causing Shi Luyu to freeze in place.

The toothbrush was still at her lips, the water was splashing, but she seemed frozen in place, her long, thick eyelashes fluttering incessantly.

like.

She likes... Jiajia-gege?

Is that really the case?

This was the first time Shi Luyu had seriously considered this issue since reuniting with Jiajia.

She used to think that their relationship was just a childhood bond, a dependence after reuniting in a foreign land, a timely appearance of him in times of danger, and that she was so afraid that she unconsciously clung to him.

But if it's just dependence, why does she feel a pang of sadness when she sees him being nice to others?

If he's just her brother, why does she get nervous when he gets close?

If it's just the familiarity after reuniting, why does she sometimes feel a little lost when she doesn't see him?

Maybe.

After all, Jiajia's brother is so outstanding.

He was good-looking, with deep and beautiful eyes and a tall and straight figure. He was so dazzling that he could not be ignored wherever he stood.

Everyone at the university knows Xu Yuanjia. He's highly intelligent, a top expert, and any project he undertakes can impress professors. He's a prominent figure on campus, and outside of campus, he's the president of a leading AI technology company, surrounded by wealthy and influential people.

He was carefree, dissolute, and occasionally so bad it made people grit their teeth.

But he would also hold her in his arms when she was scared, buy her a camera, eat with her at roadside stalls, and appear time and time again when she was in danger.

Someone as wonderful as him, who wouldn't like him?

Shi Luyu lowered her eyes, slowly finished brushing her teeth, and rinsed her mouth with a somewhat mechanical motion.

And... what about him?

Will he feel the same way about her?

Although they have done many things that go beyond the level of intimacy between friends.

Although Jiajia's brother often says inappropriate things, teases her, hugs her, and kisses her all the time, he is naughty but justifies it.

But it seems he never truly said he liked her.

He never seriously told her what they really were now.

Thinking of this, the sweet feeling that had just arisen in Shi Luyu suddenly subsided.

She immediately splashed cold water on her face, forcing herself not to think about it anymore.

Water droplets rolled down her cheeks, and she raised her hand to wipe them away. Just as she was about to dry her face, the bathroom door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

"ah--"

Shi Luyu was startled and before she could back away, Xu Yuanjia had already walked in.

He was lazy and listless, but his eyes and brows were surprisingly bright; a single glance from him made her legs go weak.

"You... how did you get in?" Shi Luyu asked, her voice weak, as if she had been caught doing something wrong.

Xu Yuanjia didn't answer. He walked up, put his hand around her waist, and lifted her onto the washbasin.

Startled, Shi Luyu reached out and grabbed his shoulder, "Brother!"

The cold countertop pressed against her leg, and she froze.

Xu Yuanjia braced himself on either side of her legs, trapping her between the sink and himself, and looked down at her, asking, "Why are you taking so long to shower?"

He raised an eyebrow slightly, his voice still low and husky from just waking up: "What are you thinking about?"

Shi Luyu's face flushed bright red instantly. It was as if he had seen right through her chaotic thoughts, and she felt so guilty that she didn't even dare to meet his eyes.

"No, I wasn't thinking about anything!" she stammered unnaturally.

Xu Yuanjia slowly narrowed his eyes, raised his hand and pinched her cheek. "If you weren't thinking about anything, why is your face so red?"

Shi Luyu's words were muffled by his pinching: "Don't pinch me..."

"Then you say it." He lowered his body, a few stray hairs falling down his forehead, his eyes smiling, mischievously nonchalant.

"Were you thinking about your brother just now?"

Shi Luyu's face flushed red all the way to her ears, and she vehemently denied it: "No way!"

Xu Yuanjia chuckled: "Little liar."

Shi Luyu pushed his chest, but couldn't budge him.

Looking at the man's face so close to hers, she suddenly remembered what had happened yesterday.

That abandoned theater, that Black Hawk mask.

That gun.

There was also her questioning and suspicion of Xu Yuanjia.

A sense of guilt crept in, and she realized that she seemed to be dragging Xu Yuanjia into danger time and time again, making him go through those terrible things with her, and making him come to save her time and time again.

And she... actually suspected that he was Master Jia.

Shi Luyu pursed her lips and took the initiative to put her arm around his shoulder.

Xu Yuanjia paused slightly. He looked down at her, the casual smile in his eyes fading slightly. "What's wrong?"

Shi Luyu hugged him, her voice softening: "Brother, I still want to apologize for what happened yesterday."

Xu Yuanjia didn't speak immediately. He slowly tightened his arms, pulling her closer into his embrace.

The girl had just washed her face, and her cheeks were still a little cool. When she pressed her face against his neck, her breath was soft and carried the scent of minty toothpaste. She was so obedient, so gentle, and her guilt was genuine.

In some dark corner of his heart, this apology brought a sense of satisfying pleasure.

Xu Yuanjia lowered his eyes, his expression softened, but his tone deliberately carried a hint of grievance.

"Then, sweetie, don't doubt your brother anymore, okay?"

Shi Luyu nodded quickly: "Okay, brother."

Xu Yuanjia slowly smiled, but before he could speak, Shi Luyu suddenly pulled away a little, raised her head, and looked intently into his eyes.

"Then brother has to promise me too."

Xu Yuanjia looked at her.

Her eyes were clean and clear, and she said, "You must never lie to me about anything, okay?"

The restroom fell silent.

The tap was already turned off, and only the distant sound of traffic outside the window remained.

Xu Yuanjia's expression froze for a moment.
