“You… what exactly do you want?” Zhang Yining’s voice trembled as she made one final, futile attempt to resist. “You got something you can use against me just because you wanted… wanted…”
She wanted to say money, but he had already mocked her offer. She wanted to say a relationship, but his earlier words, “You think you’re worthy?” still echoed in her ears.
Lu Xuan approached step by step, cornering her completely. The distance between them became so small that they could feel each other’s breath.
He lowered his head and looked at her pale, frightened face, a cruel trace of amusement flickering in his eyes.
“What do I want?” Lu Xuan chuckled. “Haven’t I already made myself perfectly clear?”
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly lowered his head and forcibly kissed her.
“Mmph!” Zhang Yining’s eyes widened instantly, filled with shock and humiliation.
She instinctively raised her hands and tried to push against Lu Xuan’s chest, but his muscles were as solid as rock, and he didn’t budge in the slightest.
Her strength was utterly insignificant against Lu Xuan’s physique of 80.
The kiss was forceful and aggressive, completely devoid of any romance she might once have imagined. There was only domination and humiliation.
Several minutes later, Lu Xuan finally released her. Zhang Yining gasped desperately for air, her cheeks flushed unnaturally from the lack of oxygen.
Tears streamed down her face as she cried, “Bastard… that was my first kiss!”
Her voice was filled with grievance and emotional collapse, yet the accusation seemed painfully powerless now.
“Your first kiss?” The mockery in Lu Xuan’s eyes deepened. “Really? Then I’m truly… honored.”
He deliberately dragged out the words before adding, “Your first kiss, huh? How did it feel? More memorable than that fake score report of yours?”
His words stabbed straight into Zhang Yining’s heart.
“Enough.” Lu Xuan’s patience seemed to disappear, and his gaze turned cold. “Take your clothes off yourself, or I’ll do it for you.”
His eyes swept over her white camisole without concealing his scrutiny. “Let’s see what kind of surprise the class belle of Chinese Department Class Three is hiding underneath today.”
Humiliation engulfed Zhang Yining like a tidal wave.
She bit her lower lip so hard that she nearly drew blood.
She knew resisting was useless. It would only bring harsher treatment.
“I… I’ll do it…” Her voice was barely audible, trembling with despair. “Once you… get what you want… can you delete that PowerPoint afterward?”
She was still trying to negotiate, clinging desperately to her final shred of hope.
“Hah.” Lu Xuan sneered as though he had heard an absurd joke. “Zhang Yining, you still don’t understand your situation. You have no right to negotiate any conditions with me!”
He took out his phone again, pretending he was about to open something. “Say one more unnecessary word, and I’ll let every student and faculty member at this university, along with everyone at your father’s workplace, enjoy this little ‘surprise’!”
“No!!” Zhang Yining screamed, abandoning her resistance completely. “I’ll do it! I’ll do it right now! Please don’t post it!”
She closed her eyes as tears of humiliation rolled down her cheeks.
Under his threat, she complied.
‘Obeying me is your only choice now.’
Watching her surrender, Lu Xuan felt a twisted surge of satisfaction.
All the humiliation and suffering he had endured in his previous life seemed to have finally found an outlet.
What followed left Zhang Yining’s psychological defenses completely shattered.
…
An unknown amount of time passed. Perhaps half an hour, perhaps longer.
[The target’s psychological defenses have collapsed. Control Value increased.]
[Current Control Value: 30/100]
[Reward: Combat Fighting (Beginner Proficiency)]
The system notification sounded in Lu Xuan’s mind, followed by a stream of information concerning combat techniques.
He moved his body slightly and immediately felt that his control and application of physical strength had become much smoother and more coordinated.
After straightening his clothes, Lu Xuan looked down at Zhang Yining. Her shoulders trembled faintly as she silently cried, her clothes disheveled from what had happened.
“Lu Xuan! You bastard! Shameless! Pervert!” Zhang Yining suddenly raised her head.
Her eyes were red and swollen, tear tracks covering her face. Humiliation and fury filled her expression, mixed with another complicated emotion that was difficult to describe, as she glared fiercely at Lu Xuan.
“Pervert?” Lu Xuan scoffed and walked toward her, forcing her to look at him. “This is nothing. Don’t worry, there’ll be even more waiting for you tonight.”
“What?!” Zhang Yining’s face instantly became even paler. “Tonight? You… didn’t you say…”
“What did I say?” Lu Xuan tilted his head, deliberately feigning innocence. “Oh, I said I’d leave you alone for now. I never said I’d leave you alone forever. Nor did I say once would be enough.”
He released her and lightly patted her cheek in a deliberately insulting manner. “Did you really think falsifying your results to enter Yanjing University and destroying someone else’s life would cost you so little?”
“You… you don’t keep your word!” Zhang Yining trembled violently with anger, her voice changing pitch. “You promised you wouldn’t reveal the PowerPoint…”
“That’s right.” Lu Xuan interrupted her with a devilish smile. “I promised I wouldn’t tell anyone. I never said I wouldn’t post it on the university forum or send it to our class group chat. See? I’m still keeping my word.”
Zhang Yining stared at his shameless expression, so furious that she nearly choked.
She finally understood.
She had completely fallen into this devil’s hands.
He had never intended to let her off easily!
“All right, stop crying. You’re wasting time.” Lu Xuan impatiently waved his hand, took out his phone, and displayed his Green Bubble QR code. “Add me. Then transfer 10,000 yuan to me right now. Spending money.”
“What?!” Zhang Yining could hardly believe her ears. “You… you still want money? You just…”
She was so furious that she couldn’t even finish her sentence.
He had already taken advantage of her, and now he wanted money too. How could anyone possibly be this shameless?!
“What? You don’t want to?” Lu Xuan raised an eyebrow and swiped across his phone as though he were about to open the university forum. “Looks like you still prefer a more direct approach.”
“Don’t!” Zhang Yining hurriedly stopped him.
By now, she had no doubt whatsoever that Lu Xuan would carry out his threat.
With trembling hands, she took out her phone and reluctantly added Lu Xuan on Green Bubble. Then, gritting her teeth and swallowing her overwhelming humiliation, she transferred 10,000 yuan to him.
“That’s more like it.” Lu Xuan looked at the payment notification with satisfaction before putting away his phone. “Much better. Remember to book a hotel for tonight and send me the address. If you dare try anything…”
“You… you’re disgusting! You even live off a woman’s money!” Zhang Yining couldn’t resist cursing him, her voice overflowing with contempt.
“Thanks for the compliment.” Lu Xuan didn’t care in the slightest. He even smiled. “It’s my honor to live off the class belle’s money. See you tonight.”
With that, he turned and walked away without the slightest reluctance.
“Stop!” Zhang Yining suddenly shouted, her voice carrying a hysterical edge.
“Lu Xuan! Remember this! If a third person ever finds out what happened today, I… I’ll never forgive you! I swear!”
Lu Xuan stopped at the doorway and slowly turned around.
His gaze instantly became bone-chillingly cold, like ancient ice. Zhang Yining involuntarily shuddered beneath it.
“Hah.” An extremely dangerous smile curved across his lips. “You little bitch. I give you an inch, and you really try to take a mile? Threaten me? Do you seriously think you’re still in any position to threaten me?”
His voice wasn’t loud, yet its chilling menace instantly crushed the last pitiful trace of courage Zhang Yining possessed.
She collapsed against the desk, unable to utter another word.
Only endless fear and despair remained.
