Lu Xunji held Xie Ji and slowly went through his personal terminal, then personally closed it for Xie Ji and whispered, "Thank you."
Xie Ji turned his head slightly, his ear brushing against Lu Xunji's cheek, sending a tingling, ticklish sensation through him. "Hmm? Thank you for what?"
Lu Xunji her chin on Xie Ji's shoulder, her breath coming in shallow gasps. "Thank you for loving me, thank you for being so understanding, thank you for accepting me."
Anyone would be unhappy to have their social media accounts looked at like that, regardless of whether they've done anything wrong. Moreover, adults need to maintain a certain social distance, even the closest lovers.
Lu Xunji suffers from a severe lack of security, which leads to his almost overwhelming desire for control. He is used to being in control, and browsing Xie Ji's personal terminal satisfies his desire for control, thereby enhancing his sense of security.
If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't be able to accept Lu Xunji like this.
Xie Ji shook Lu Xunji's personal terminal, then looked down and fiddled with something, which Lu Xunji didn't notice.
Just as he said, he was absolutely honest with Xie Ji, and nothing and no one in the world was worth betraying Xie Ji.
However, Xie Ji did not check any of his social media accounts; instead, he downloaded an application for him.
"This can connect to my personal computer." Xie Ji opened the application interface and clicked a few times. "I was bored at home today, so I looked for it, and I didn't expect that there would actually be software like this for sale. You only need to obtain the basic information of the personal computer to connect."
Lu Xunji paused for a moment, then said softly, "... What is this?"
"It's monitoring software." Xie Ji's fingertip gently tapped Lu Xunji's palm. "You can know what I'm doing, where I am, who I'm meeting, and what I'm saying anytime, anywhere. You can also check my personal terminal at any time, Lu Xunji. I know this will put your mind at ease. You gave me something so expensive, so I'll give you something very precious in return."
Xie Ji smiled, narrowing his eyes, and kissed Lu Xunji on the cheek. "My freedom, Lu Xunji, I give you the right to completely control me."
Lu Xunji gripped Xie Ji's fingers, his breath trembling.
Xie Ji looked closely and, sure enough, was crying again.
The Princess Bro" persona remains intact.
Xie Ji reached out and nuzzled Lu Xunji's face, whispering, "I remember you weren't this prone to crying before."
Lu Xunji took a soft breath and said, "Won't you find me annoying?"
"At least not now." Xie Ji leaned against Lu Xunji's chest. "I didn't realize it before, and I didn't know how to be in a relationship, which is why you felt so insecure. But now, I think I should be a good boyfriend to you, right?"
Lu Xunji didn't say anything, holding Xie Ji tightly and refusing to let go.
As the sun set and the sky turned golden, Xie Ji lay down on the sofa with Lu Xunji for a while longer. As night fell and the view outside the window became pitch black, Lu Xunji finally let go of him and got up to cook.
Xie Ji sat in front of the dressing table looking at the course notes that Lu Xunji had organized for him. Since the start of the semester, he hadn't attended many classes properly. However, with Lu Xunji, the top student, around, Xie Ji hadn't missed any classes. He even got first place in the class quiz, which made Lu Xunji very proud.
After dinner, Lu Xunji began tutoring Xie Ji, Xie Ji sat on the small swing on the balcony enjoying the night breeze.
A short while later, the dormitory doorbell rang a few times.
Xie Ji stood up from the swing to open the door.
Lu Xunji pushed up the frame of his gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and let out a very soft hum from his nose.
At this hour, the only person who could come to see Xie Ji is Jin Li. This kid takes advantage of living nearby and comes to Xie Ji's dorm almost every night. Then Xie Ji has to go out and chat with him for two hours before coming back.
Although they agreed not to interfere with Xie Ji's friendships, Lu Xunji still equally disliked any uninvited guest who disturbed his and Xie Ji's private time.
" Little Ji Baby!" Jin Li peeked in cautiously and asked in a low voice, "Is Lu Xunji home? If not, I'll come in."
Xie Ji was about to say he was at home when Lu Xunji's icy voice fell, "No."
Jin Li didn't react for a moment, then quickly pushed the door open and came in. "It's good that he's not here, it's good that he's not here. You have no idea how scary the Top Scorer Bro was last night. When he carried you back from the repair department, his eyes looked like he wanted to eat two children alive!"
Lu Xunji sat on the swing, his gray cotton shirt, loose-fitting pajamas, and slippers softening his somewhat aggressive demeanor and adding a touch of gentle elegance, blending well with the relaxed atmosphere of the dormitory.
He crossed his legs and whispered, "Really?"
Jin Li plopped down on the sofa and slapped her thigh hard. "Who says it isn't! That thing can eat a child without spitting out the skin! Little Ji Baby, you've really suffered a lot by being with him!"
"That's really unfair to you. Tell him when he gets back."
"No, no, no! You absolutely mustn't tell him! He'll definitely kill me!"
"No." Lu Xunji's smile was ambiguous, his voice instantly turning cold. "Murder is illegal, and I've always been a law-abiding citizen, but in some kind of accident..."
Jin Li seemed to realize something at this moment, her mind slowly turning around like a rusty machine, and she saw Lu Xunji sitting on the balcony.
Jin Li: "..."
The next moment, Jin Li rolled her eyes and fainted on the sofa.
Xie Ji quickly tucked the child under his armpits, his movements smooth and fluid, and immediately began to gently persuade him, "Hello sir, sleeping is not allowed here, let me help you out!"
Then, with some difficulty, they dragged Jin Li out.
As soon as the dormitory door closed, Xie Ji patted Jin Li's face. "Alright, you're out now, you can stop pretending."
Jin Li took a deep breath and suddenly opened her eyes. "Holy crap, that scared me to death!"
"Is it really that scary?" Xie Ji stroked his chin and said, " Lu Xunji is quite handsome."
Jin Li rolled her eyes at him, giving him a look that said, "I'm giving you a look, you figure it out yourself."
Xie Ji suddenly put his arm around Jin Li's shoulder and whispered to him, "I'm with Lu Xunji now."
Jin Li: "..."
Xie Ji: "What's with that expression? Aren't you surprised at all?"
"Wow!" Jin Li exclaimed, her eyes widening in feigned surprise. "Really? That's unbelievable! Thank you for telling me such a well-known secret! If it weren't for you, I'd still be completely in the dark!"
Xie Ji: "We're severing ties."
"Oh, everyone knows you and Boss Lu are a couple, but how could I not know?" Jin Li said. "Boss Lu is so powerful, getting you would be a piece of cake for him, right?"
Xie Ji pointed at him. "What do you mean? I'm a bit hard to pursue too, you know."
Jin Li crossed her arms. "That's true. Even Boss Lu almost lost half his life chasing you, so you're quite difficult to win over."
"Why do I just not want to listen to you?" Xie Ji didn't want to talk to him anymore. "What did you come to see me for? Is there anything you need? If not, I'm going back."
Jin Li slapped her forehead. "I almost forgot."
"Of course I need to talk to you!"
Shen Ting said she wants to see you!
