Lu Xuan pushed the door open and entered the office. Coincidentally, Chen Yubing was focused on her phone, seemingly browsing some important information, and didn't even notice him enter immediately.
It wasn't until Lu Xuan's shadow fell on her phone screen that she suddenly looked up, her beautiful phoenix eyes instantly meeting Lu Xuan's.
Her brows immediately furrowed, as if her peaceful dream had been disturbed, showing clear displeasure.
"Student, do you need something? Also, why did you come in without knocking?"
Her voice was still that clear, cold tone, but listening closely, it seemed to carry a few more imperceptible hints of irritation than last time.
Lu Xuan, with a smile as warm as a spring breeze, walked unhurriedly to the chair opposite the desk and sat down very casually, as if it were his own living room.
"Director Chen, important people are forgetful, aren't they? I just left your office not long ago. Don't you remember me?"
He crossed his legs, his posture leisurely, with a hint of playfulness.
Chen Yubing's expression darkened a bit. Of course, she remembered Lu Xuan, the male Student who inexplicably annoyed her.
She didn't like the way he looked at her—that calm, unruffled gaze, lacking the usual admiration or desire of other males, made her feel that her proud charm was ineffective in front of him.
"I know you, Lu Xuan, right?"
She tried to maintain the dignity of an office director, but her tone involuntarily hardened a bit.
"I've already told you very clearly, for your scholarship application, you must first go to the finance department to get a stamp from Director Bai, and then I can stamp it here. This is the school's procedure, do you not understand?"
She even emphasized the words "do you not understand?" trying to regain some control of the situation.
Lu Xuan, however, seemed not to notice the impatience in her tone. Instead, he held up a hand, making a "stop" gesture, his smile still bright.
"Stop, stop, Director Chen, don't be in such a hurry to dismiss me. This time I came not for the small matter of a stamp, but for another important matter I want to 'communicate' with you."
As he spoke, he slowly pulled out his phone from his pocket, tapped the screen a few times, and then turned the phone screen towards Chen Yubing. On it was clearly a photo.
Although the photo didn't directly show a face, the body parts captured and the revealing nature of the clothing were enough to make anyone who saw it heart race.
"Director Chen, you're busy with work, but could you help me identify something? Does this photo... look familiar?"
Lu Xuan's tone was as light as if he were discussing the weather.
The moment Chen Yubing's gaze fell on the photo, her pupils suddenly contracted!
Her usually cool and aloof pretty face first turned instantly pale, followed by an unusual flush that uncontrollably spread from her neck to her earlobes.
Her breathing noticeably quickened, and her hands on the desk instinctively clenched.
She suddenly raised her hand and covered her eyes, as if that could deny everything she was seeing.
Her voice also carried an imperceptible tremor: "Stu-Student, what are you doing? You... what do you mean by showing me this kind of photo?!"
She suddenly stood up, and due to the abrupt movement, the chair legs scraped against the floor, emitting a harsh sound.
"Get out! Immediately! Or I'll call the police!"
At this moment, she had lost all the composure of her usual ice queen demeanor, completely resembling a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
Lu Xuan watched her outwardly fierce but inwardly timid reaction, and the curve of his lips widened.
Not only did he not leave, but he slowly stood up, walked to the office door, and with a soft click, locked the door from the inside.
At that, the air in the office seemed to instantly freeze.
Chen Yubing's face changed dramatically, and she almost shrieked, "What are you doing?! Lu Xuan, what do you want to do?! Don't you know where this is?!"
Her voice rose due to fear and anger, even cracking a little.
For the first time, her beautiful phoenix eyes showed a look of panic and helplessness.
"Director Chen, don't get so agitated, agitation harms your health."
Lu Xuan turned around, leaning casually against the door, arms crossed, with an expression of someone enjoying a good show.
"I'm just being kind, worried that your secret might accidentally be known by others."
"Think about it, if this secret were known by the colleagues and Students who admire you at school, how would you face people with your beautiful face?"
"The daughter of the Military Region Chief of Staff? Tsk tsk, what a resounding title."
With each sentence he spoke, Chen Yubing's face grew paler.
Fine beads of cold sweat had begun to seep from her forehead, dampening a few strands of hair at her temples.
She forced herself to calm down, took a few deep breaths, trying to regain her usual composure, but her slightly trembling body betrayed her inner fear.
"Lu Xuan, I don't know what nonsense you're talking about."
She tried to make her voice sound steady, but the end of her words uncontrollably wavered a bit, "What secret? I don't understand."
Her mind was in turmoil at that moment. How did this Student know?
She had handled those photos and videos very carefully, never showing her face, and her voice had been blurred. How did he recognize her?
No, she absolutely could not admit it! Once she admitted it, her life would be completely over!
Her reputation, her future, her family's honor... everything would be ruined in an instant!
"Student, I don't know where you got these messy photos."
Chen Yubing's eyes darted, and she decided to turn the tables. She couldn't remain so passive.
"You're so young, how can your thoughts be so filthy? It's one thing to look at them by yourself in private, but you actually take them out to show others, let alone showing them to your teacher, and a female teacher at that!"
"This behavior of yours is no longer a simple prank; it's simply perverted! It's harassment!"
She tried to use harsh words and a moral high ground to suppress Lu Xuan and regain the initiative.
Lu Xuan almost laughed in anger listening to her blaming him.
This woman, even at this point, still wanted to be stubborn? Still wanted to accuse him?
He slowly walked to the desk, didn't stop, but walked around the desk, directly to the inner side of the desk, instantly closing the distance between him and Chen Yubing to less than half a meter.
Chen Yubing's body suddenly leaned back, pressing tightly against the back of the chair, her displeasure and wariness almost overflowing.
"Student, you, you're going too far! What do you want to do?!"
She could clearly smell the faint, fresh masculine scent coming from Lu Xuan. This close-range oppressive feeling made her heart pound.
Lu Xuan leaned down, looking down at her, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.
He raised his phone again, this time not handing it over directly, but in front of her, he opened a video.
As the video played, indecent images began to flicker on the small screen.
Although the woman in the video still didn't show her face, the familiar room background...
That lace nightgown she had worn late one night not long ago, and the sounds that rose and fell with her movements, deliberately suppressed yet still recognizable...
Chen Yubing's face turned from red to white, then from white to green, and finally to a deathly gray. Her lips trembled violently, almost biting until they bled.
Every frame in the video, as the video progressed, the clothing of the person in the picture decreased piece by piece, becoming more and more revealing, more and more unrestrained...
"Ah!"
Chen Yubing finally couldn't bear this extreme humiliation and fear, and suddenly reached out to snatch Lu Xuan's phone, wanting to completely destroy this sinful evidence.
Lu Xuan was prepared; he flipped his wrist, deftly dodging her grab, leaving her empty-handed.
"Tsk tsk, Director Chen, don't be so agitated, it's not good if the phone breaks."
Lu Xuan moved the phone a bit further away, leisurely enjoying her discomposure, his tone carrying a hint of playfulness.
"You look closely again, the person in this video, although not showing their face, this voice... why does it sound so familiar to me? It seems I heard it not long ago, right in this office. And also,"
He paused, his gaze deliberately lingering on the area below her left collarbone for a moment.
There was a tiny, very light beauty mark there, usually covered by clothing, so small that it would not be noticed unless one looked very carefully.
"Especially this spot below the collarbone, it also seems to have an identical... beauty mark."
"Director Chen, do you think this is a bit too coincidental?"
Lu Xuan's voice was not loud, but it was like a devil's whisper, directly shattering Chen Yubing's mental defenses.
