Although this is a third-rate university, it’s still a university, with the lakeside moonlight and shaded paths it should have. At this moment, Lu Shifeng had carried her into a nice small scenic area, surrounded by flowers and trees, with good privacy. With the hazy moonlight, the shimmering silver light on the lake surface could be faintly seen in the distance. He put her down, letting her back against a section of tree trunk. She grabbed his hand in a panic, her face somewhat pale: "Lu Shifeng! You wouldn’t want to do it here..." He raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at her with a sort of smirk: "It’s not bad to try occasionally." Try? It’s... not bad?! She was so scared that her soul was about to scatter: "You, you, you don’t do anything reckless! I, I won’t let you succeed!" "Why not let me succeed?" Under the hazy moonlight, the smile at the corner of his mouth was faint, like a mischievous charm, "Do you intend to put me down, or..." As he talked, he grabbed her wrists with one hand and effortlessly twisted them behind her, "or scream louder?" Her legs were weak, desperately sticking close to the tree trunk, her eyes were beautiful and blurry like the moonlight, gradually covered with a layer of mist: "Lu Shifeng..." How could she possibly really scream loudly? He might not care, but she did! Even though this small grove seemed quiet and the shadows of flowers swayed, not far away was the bustling food street! If someone were to accidentally stumble upon this unbearable scene, she would be too humiliated! He remained unmoved, his thin lips falling on her lashes. She, however, was scared because—even tightly pressed against the tree trunk, she could clearly feel he was like a beast, ready to explode at any moment. She wouldn’t give up, pleading with him: "Let’s go home... let’s go home, alright? Do whatever you want there..." He didn’t respond at all, using his height and weight advantage to forcefully press her against the tree trunk, becoming increasingly impatient... Su Xingyu wanted to cry, being forced to a dead end, ready to risk everything: "Do you believe I will really scream—" Before she could finish, nearby in the shaded path came the voices of a man and woman talking, scaring her into silence. The voices grew closer, clearly coming along the path they had taken, seeming to be a couple, with the man excitedly discussing post-graduation plans, while the woman occasionally chimed in, chatting very enthusiastically. Just a moment ago, Su Xingyu who was fiercely determined to risk everything suddenly fell silent. She dared not move at all, letting Lu Shifeng do as he pleased to her, solely praying for the couple to pass by quickly. But that couple seemed to deliberately oppose her, stopping just three steps away behind her! "Tonight’s moonlight is so beautiful, let me sing a song for you," the woman said to the man. The man laughed: "Sure, I love listening to you sing. It was because of that song ’Patriotism’ during the department’s party at the KTV that I fell in love with you at first sight. Hong’er, you are very special, unlike the other girls in this school who don’t study at all. I genuinely love and respect you." Three steps away and a tree between them, Su Xingyu almost cried out loud, thinking why are they stopping here to sing a song? Dear brother and sister, can’t you find another place to show off your romance? She looked at Lu Shifeng with dewy eyes, innocent as a fawn, full of pleading. The teasing in his eyes deepened, as if saying, go ahead, who was it just now, looking all fearless and ready to call for help loudly? His hand didn’t stop, teasing her repeatedly. Su Xingyu felt her entire body was strange, her breath gradually growing heavy. She weakly shook her head, wanting to stop Lu Shifeng, meanwhile, the woman among the couple began to sing: "Beacon fires rise—looking north at the mountains—" startling countless birds within the grove. Su Xingyu shed wide tears, how could she end up trapped in such an awkward situation! It was simply too embarrassing! Perhaps the majestic song provoked Lu Shifeng, his movements became somewhat rough. Su Xingyu, caught off guard, gasped and then bit her lip. Three steps away beyond the tree on the path, the woman’s singing abruptly stopped: "Ming, did you hear something?" "What sound? " the man asked in confusion, "I only hear your singing, Hong’er, your singing intoxicates me." The woman was still doubtful: "But I really feel like I heard something just now..." A gentle breeze blew through, bringing the moisture and coolness from the lake surface not far away. The man shivered and suggested with a tremble in his voice: "Hong’er, don’t scare me, it’s so late now, the grove doesn’t feel very safe. Should we go back first?" "Alright, let’s go back." The woman, also frightened, hurried away with the man. Su Xingyu finally breathed a sigh of relief, gasping under Lu Shifeng’s aggressive approach: "You... you don’t..." "Don’t? I think you quite like it." He chuckled lightly, lowered his head, the tip of his tongue sweeping over her ear’s curve. "You’re much more obedient outside than at home. Seems like we can frequently engage in this ’exercise’?" "Exercise your... big-headed ghost!" Her eyes brimmed with tears, she wanted to snap at him fiercely. If those two had been a bit braver and investigated what then! As if sensing her inner fear, he said: "Don’t worry, no matter what, I’ll always protect you." She hadn’t even had time to feel touched before he adeptly flipped her over and launched another attack... ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel✶fire.net Su Xingyu thought, this truly was the most uncomfortable, repressed, and miserable day of her life. Compared to Lu Shifeng’s actions at present, things like being expelled from school or being publicly abandoned by Qin Mu are nothing, aren’t they! She was completely powerless to resist him, letting him have his way over and over until she lost all strength... Before falling asleep, she only recalled the enchanting crescent moon in the night sky and him carefully tidying her clothes, holding her in his arms.
