Lu Xuan never dreamed that he would be outmaneuvered!
He sat there, originally thinking everything was under his control, waiting for Zhao Mengqi to obediently reveal the person behind the scenes. Who knew this woman would pull such a stunt?
He came to subdue her, but she, on the contrary, wanted to feed him soft rice?
Lu Xuan's eyes flickered, and he forcefully steadied his mind.
Having lived two lives, this was the first time he had encountered a woman who actively threw herself at him, and with such a desperate, do-or-die madness.
To say he was completely calm would be bragging.
After all, Zhao Mengqi, putting aside her treacherous heart, was indeed top-tier in terms of looks and figure.
On the Yan University campus, she was the goddess of countless male teachers and male Students' midnight dreams, capable of making those sycophants go through fire and water with just one look.
Now, this goddess, with a self-destructive posture, unbuttoned the second knot of her qipao, revealing more delicate skin and exquisite collarbones.
"Cough, cough," Lu Xuan cleared his throat, breaking the eerie silence, his tone carrying an undeniable chill, "Director Zhao, I think these can be omitted. Do you want to use this method to silence me? Or, do you want to tie me to the same boat as you, and then we'll both be ruined?"
He narrowed his eyes slightly, a half-smile playing on his lips: "Don't worry, I'm not interested in publicizing your messy affairs. As long as you tell me who instructed you, I promise your secrets will rot in my stomach. But..."
Lu Xuan's tone changed abruptly, his voice suddenly turning chilling: "If you continue to be so nonsensical, I will immediately post your 'glorious deeds,' along with your 'hospitable' appearance just now, online! Or, I'll directly call the police and let the police comrades have a good chat with you about life and those two deceased acquaintances!"
As he spoke, Lu Xuan made a gesture to pick up his phone, unlocked the screen, and his finger seemed about to tap the dial interface.
"No!" Zhao Mengqi shrieked, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and lunged forward abruptly.
Lu Xuan thought she was trying to snatch his phone and instinctively dodged, but he didn't expect Zhao Mengqi's target was not the phone at all, but him!
"Bang!"
Caught off guard, Lu Xuan was pushed directly onto the sofa behind him by her pounce, like a hungry tiger.
The soft sofa let out a muffled thud, and Lu Xuan's back sank into it, leaving him somewhat exasperated for a moment.
This woman was truly insane!
Zhao Mengqi's hands were propped on either side of his body, her disheveled hair falling down, a few strands brushing Lu Xuan's cheek, carrying the complex scent of orchid mixed with sweat from her body.
Her expression was somewhat distorted, with both the madness of desperation, and a hint of perplexing... tenderness deep in her eyes?
"Lu Xuan, listen to me!" Her voice was hoarse, choked with tears, yet exceptionally firm, "It's been many years... many years since I've been so reckless as today! Today, let this be our exchange."
"I know you look down on me, think I'm dirty, think I'm despicable! But, you must accept it today! Only this way... only this way can I feel at ease!"
She seemed to believe that only by dragging Lu Xuan down with her, making him also 'unclean,' could they become true 'accomplices,' and her secrets truly be safe.
What a pathological and twisted logic this was!
Lu Xuan was so exasperated by her bizarre actions and logic that he laughed.
He looked at her face, so close, tear-streaked yet wild, and sighed helplessly: "Zhao Mengqi, are you f*cking sick? Are you really so eager to throw yourself at me? Do you think this will let you control me? You're a complete and utter idiot!"
He suddenly raised his voice, with undisguised disgust: "I don't think you want to keep secrets; I think you're f*cking addicted to S&M, aren't you? Fine! Since you like being controlled so much, I'll fulfill your wish today!"
With a smack, Lu Xuan slapped Zhao Mengqi's left cheek hard.
"Ah!" Zhao Mengqi shrieked, the tables had turned.
Lu Xuan looked down at her, his eyes as cold as ice: "Director Zhao, a reminder, the office door is still open. You'd better keep your noise down."
Provoked by his cold words, Zhao Mengqi indeed dared not shriek loudly anymore, only biting her lip tightly.
Lu Xuan snorted coldly, quickly browsing the points mall in his mind.
【Ding! Do you want to consume 1 point to exchange for a hyaluronic acid condom?】
"Exchange!"
Safety first.
He, Lu Xuan, didn't want to capsize in the gutter.
He raised his hand, aiming for her other intact cheek.
"Slap!"
Another crisp slap.
"Good, now it's symmetrical." Lu Xuan's voice was calm, as if he had just completed a trivial matter.
Zhao Mengqi was completely stunned by these two sudden slaps, and a trace of blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.
...
An hour later.
She hung her head, her disheveled hair covering her swollen face, her expression unclear, only her shoulders still trembling slightly.
Lu Xuan, meanwhile, sat on the single sofa on the other side, meticulously tidying his sleeves.
【Ding! Detected a drastic change in target character Zhao Mengqi's psychological state. She has actively developed deep dependence and submission towards the host. The target character extremely admires the host!】
【Current Control Value: 100/100 (Full)】
【Congratulations to the host! You have achieved complete control over target character Zhao Mengqi!】
【Reward: Black Material APP version upgrade, current version 1.0.1.】
【Black Material APP 1.0.1 Version Feature: The activated Black Material APP is soul-bound to the host. The host can seamlessly migrate and activate the APP between different mobile devices at any time, without worrying about data loss or leakage risks.】
【Reward Points: 500 points.】
【Random Drop Special Reward: Activate the host's hidden music cells, granting the host high-level music talent (including but not limited to quick mastery and proficiency in instruments such as piano, guitar, violin, etc.).】
Lu Xuan raised an eyebrow.
Control value full?
This woman... she was truly a born slave, if he didn't completely beat her into submission, she wouldn't know why flowers were so red.
The APP upgrade was good; he had indeed been a little worried before that if his phone was lost or broken, the Black Material system would also have problems.
Now with soul binding and instant re-binding, the safety factor was greatly improved.
As for the 500 points, it was a decent windfall.
And this music talent... Lu Xuan stroked his chin, recalling his tone-deaf 'talent' in his previous life, where his singing could send people away, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
This reward could be considered as making up for a major shortcoming of his.
Perhaps he could even show off in certain situations in the future; it's always good to have more skills.
