The students in the corridor dispersed in twos and threes.
Before long, the corridor returned to quiet.
Bai Yanxi leaned against the door, her body trembling slightly.
She knew that facing Lu Xuan's threat, she could not hide, nor could she escape.
She slowly closed her eyes and took a deep breath, as if gathering her last bit of courage, or perhaps resignedly waiting.
However, the expected action did not happen immediately.
Lu Xuan still sat in her previous spot, neither getting up nor moving closer. He simply spoke slowly, his voice carrying a mesmerizing magic.
"Little Bai, come, come here."
Lu Xuan beckoned, his posture relaxed and casual, as if summoning an obedient puppy.
Bai Yanxi's face instantly changed from pale to flushed, then quickly faded again, leaving only an almost transparent pallor.
Little Bai... this address, this gesture, was a torment more unbearable than direct humiliation.
She bit her lower lip tightly, her nails digging deeply into her palms.
She opened her eyes, and before her was Lu Xuan's face with its wicked smile.
She dragged her heavy steps, each one like lead, trembling as she walked to Lu Xuan's front.
The former Bai Yanxi had the reputation of "Mulan" in the Military Region Headquarters.
Her combat skills were outstanding, and even the elite soldiers in her father's guard squad were rarely her match.
At this moment, she was like a docile, timid puppy, lowering her proud head before Lu Xuan.
If those who once admired and revered her saw this scene, their jaws would probably drop.
Lu Xuan patted his thigh, his smile unchanged: "Come, Little Bai, sit here."
Bai Yanxi's body stiffened abruptly, but in the end, she gritted her teeth and humiliatingly sat on Lu Xuan's lap.
The moment their bodies touched, a sense of shame instantly overwhelmed her. Her face was pale, tears welled up in her eyes, but she strongly held them back.
Lu Xuan wrapped his arm around her waist, feeling the stiff body in his embrace, the smile on his lips growing more satisfied.
He did not rush to the next step, but said in an almost murmuring tone: "Do you know, Director Bai, a beautiful woman like you, if I hadn't discovered your secret today, I probably wouldn't even have had the chance to speak a word to you in this lifetime, right?"
His fingers gently brushed the scattered strands of hair by her ear, then slowly slid down, touching the delicate skin of her neck.
"You are like a snow lotus growing on the peak of a snowy mountain, proud, sacred, making people awe-struck."
Lu Xuan's voice carried a hint of playfulness, "But the more so, the more one can't help but want to climb up, want to pick it, want to see... what this snow lotus will look like after being picked."
Bai Yanxi's entire body was tense, like a stone, not daring to move.
She could feel the warmth of his fingers, the warmth of his breath, all of which made her feel extremely uncomfortable and humiliated.
But she dared not resist, could not resist.
Those evidences, like the Sword of Damocles hanging over her head, made her dare not make the slightest move.
Lu Xuan's fingers, following her neck, slowly slid towards her collar.
He played with the buttons of her collar.
"Don't... don't be like this..."
Bai Yanxi's voice was tearful, full of helplessness and pleading.
"Hmm?" Lu Xuan stopped his movements, looking down at her, "What? Don't like it?"
Bai Yanxi bit her lower lip tightly, and tears finally could not be held back, sliding down her cheeks.
She knew that begging for mercy was useless, and resistance was even more self-destructive.
She could only close her eyes, letting the humiliating tears flow silently.
Lu Xuan looked at her enduring pain, and the thrill of conquest in his heart reached its peak.
He no longer hesitated...
...About an hour later.
Bai Yanxi stared blankly at the ceiling.
"【Detected that the target's psychological defense has completely collapsed, and her inner pride and self-esteem have been shattered, gaining a large amount of Control Value.】"
"【Current Control Value: 100 / 100】"
"【Reward: A 100-square-meter apartment in Bāyī Jǐngyuàn Residential Complex near Yanjing University.】"
"【Reward points: 500 points.】"
"【Obtained random drop reward: Entry-level PUA Oratory】"
Lu Xuan looked at the system prompt, secretly delighted.
Originally, he had planned to rent an apartment outside, as he really couldn't stand those disgusting things in the dormitory anymore.
He didn't expect that when he was sleepy, someone would send a pillow, directly giving him an apartment, and it was in Bāyī Jǐngyuàn Residential Complex near Yanjing University, which was a family building in the Military Region compound, with excellent security and environment.
Even more unexpectedly, he even dropped PUA skills?
This was a good thing; it would be twice the result with half the effort when trying to persuade those girls in the future, wouldn't it?
Looking at Bai Yanxi, whose Control Value was already maxed out in his arms, Lu Xuan was very satisfied.
Bai Yanxi and Chen Yubing, one the daughter of a Military Region Deputy Political Commissar, the other the daughter of a Military Region Commander, keeping these two in hand would definitely be of great use!
He smiled wickedly and gently patted Bai Yanxi's cheek: "Little Bai, be good."
Bai Yanxi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly turned her head to look at him, her eyes showing a hint of confusion, but without the previous coldness and resistance.
"I'm a bit thirsty, go pour me a glass of water," Lu Xuan ordered.
"Yes, Master," Bai Yanxi responded almost subconsciously upon hearing his words, her voice carrying a never-before-heard softness.
She got up from Lu Xuan's lap, tidied her somewhat disheveled clothes, and walked towards the water dispenser with still somewhat sore legs.
She poured a glass of water, held it with both hands, and brought it to Lu Xuan, like a well-behaved maid.
Lu Xuan took the water glass, took a sip, and nodded with satisfaction.
The feeling of having the Control Value maxed out was different; it was truly hitting where he aimed, with no room for dispute.
"Then, Little Bai," Lu Xuan placed the water glass on the table and pointed to the documents on the table, which also contained some student reimbursement applications, "Stamp this for me."
"Yes, Master," Bai Yanxi responded submissively again, then picked up the documents on the table and began to stamp them.
Her movements still carried the efficiency characteristic of a soldier, but her expression had completely changed; there was no longer the previous authority and impatience in her eyes, only a kind of docility.
After stamping, Bai Yanxi suddenly knelt before Lu Xuan with a thud, lowering her head, her voice trembling slightly: "Master, it was all my fault before, I caused you some trouble, I'm sorry..."
She looked extremely scared, fearing that Lu Xuan would be angry because of her previous attitude.
Lu Xuan looked at Bai Yanxi kneeling before him, and a stronger sense of conquest surged in his heart.
He slowly extended his hand and gently lifted her chin, making her look at him.
"Oh, it's nothing," Lu Xuan said in a relaxed tone, "I forgive you now that you've stamped it."
He paused, a playful glint in his eyes.
"And ah, from now on, you and Director Chen Yubing should get along well. You two will be good best friends again."
Bai Yanxi's body trembled almost imperceptibly upon hearing the name "Chen Yubing."
She wanted to refuse, wanted to ask why, but for some reason, when her eyes met Lu Xuan's deep ones, the words she wanted to say seemed to be blocked by an invisible force.
She could only nod in agreement, as if accepting an unviolable command.
