That intense feeling of conquest, that ultimate tenderness after the ice mountain melts, it was truly exhilarating!
"Hubby," Chen Yubing nestled into his embrace, her breath like orchids, her voice carrying a hint of lazy coquetry.
"That Student is still waiting outside, shouldn't we... shouldn't we hurry up a bit?"
Her cheeks were flushed, her eyes hazy, clearly also aroused.
"What's the rush?" He lowered his head, blowing warm air into her ear, his voice seductive.
"It'll be quick. Just think, that silly boy is waiting eagerly outside the door, probably still thinking about how cold and aloof you were just now, maybe even secretly fantasizing."
"If he knew that Director Chen, who is sacred and inviolable in his eyes, is now sitting on my lap..."
"Ah! Don't say it!"
Chen Yubing's face turned crimson at his words, and her heart raced.
...
It was a full half an hour later before the office door opened again.
Lu Xuan returned to the guest chair he had been sitting on, looking refreshed, leisurely drinking water, a satisfied smile playing on his lips.
Meanwhile, Chen Yubing's legs felt a bit weak. She leaned on the desk, bracing herself, and tidied her messy hair and slightly smudged light makeup.
She put her jacket back on, carefully adjusting the collar to ensure no inappropriate marks were visible.
Taking a few deep breaths, trying to calm the turmoil within her, she cleared her throat again, her eyes and demeanor quickly switching back to her unsmiling, ice-mountain Director mode.
"Student, come in."
Her voice was still cool and clear, but if one listened carefully, it seemed to carry a hint of undetectable hoarseness and fatigue compared to before.
The male Student outside heard the summons and immediately pushed the door open and walked in, a hint of apprehension on his face.
Chen Yubing picked up the application form he had placed on the desk, glanced down at it, then picked up the stamp and cleanly, with a crisp "thwack," stamped it down.
"Alright, your stamp has been applied."
She handed the application form over, her tone flat and emotionless.
The male Student took the application form, relieved, and thanked her repeatedly: "Thank you, Director Chen, thank you, Director Chen!"
The male Student, as if granted a great pardon, fled the office as if on the run, not daring to look back, as if Director Chen were some monstrous beast.
Indeed, with Director Chen's usual aura, for an ordinary Student to stand before her without their legs turning to jelly was already a sign of strong psychological fortitude.
Lu Xuan slowly stood up, a playful smile on his lips, glancing at Chen Yubing who stood behind the desk, her cheeks still flushed from the afterglow, yet trying hard to restore her usual coldness.
"Alright, I'm going to get revenge for you now."
His voice was not loud, "I'm going to the finance department to meet your good best friend, Bai Yanxi."
Upon hearing this, the frost on Chen Yubing's face instantly melted, replaced by delight, her eyes sparkling with charm, showing not a trace of her previous coldness.
She took a few steps forward, her voice so sweet it could drip: "Thank you, Hubby! Hubby is the best to me!"
After saying that, she even stood on tiptoe and quickly gave Lu Xuan a quick peck on the cheek.
"Mwah~"
Lu Xuan felt the soft touch and the deliberately left dampness on his cheek, and a wave of amusement washed over him.
This woman, the contrast before and after was a bit too great, but he liked it.
He smiled faintly, said nothing more, and turned to leave the Director's Office of the Student Aid Management Center.
The corridor was empty. It was lunchtime, and most people were still resting.
Lu Xuan walked unhurriedly towards the floor where the finance department was located.
As he walked, he pulled out his phone and skillfully connected to the campus intranet. He clicked on the faculty information inquiry system and entered the keywords "finance department" and "Bai Yanxi."
Soon, a ID photo popped up.
In the photo, Bai Yanxi's features indeed bore some resemblance to Chen Yubing's; both belonged to the type with delicate features and a somewhat cool demeanor.
However, unlike Chen Yubing's deliberately cultivated ice-beauty image, Bai Yanxi's coolness carried a hint of heroism, her eyes sharp and unsmiling, as if she could see through people's hearts.
Even a simple ID photo conveyed a unique, almost military-like temperament, as if tempered, unlike that of ordinary women.
"Tsk, another tough nut to crack."
Lu Xuan muttered to himself.
He casually took a screenshot of the photo, then exited the campus network and clicked on that familiar, slightly sinister black APP icon—the Black Material APP.
The interface was still simple. Lu Xuan imported the ID photo of Bai Yanxi he had just saved.
"Ding! Detecting new analyzable target person..."
The system's prompt sounded in his mind, cold and mechanical.
"Scanning photo information... Please wait..."
On the screen, a small progress bar appeared below Bai Yanxi's photo, slowly advancing.
Lu Xuan waited, a sense of anticipation growing within him.
What kind of unknown secrets would this best friend of Chen Yubing's, whom she claimed "always liked to snatch her things since childhood," possess?
A few seconds later, the scan was complete.
"Target Person: Bai Yanxi"
"Information analysis complete..."
A series of data unfolded before Lu Xuan's eyes like a waterfall:
【Name: Bai Yanxi】
【Appearance: 97】
【Control Value: 0/100】
【Measurements: 82/55/80】 (Surprisingly similar to Chen Yubing, but feels like it should be tighter.)
【Height: 172cm】 (Wow, this height is enough for a model.)
【Weight: 54KG】 (Standard healthy build.)
Lu Xuan's gaze focused on the last item.
"Target Evaluation: Competitive, severe power-worship complex."
Seeing this evaluation, Lu Xuan almost burst out laughing. He instantly pictured Chen Yubing's pouting accusation about Bai Yanxi snatching her doll.
"No wonder, even a doll had to be snatched. So it's her nature."
Lu Xuan stroked his chin, understanding dawning on him, "Competitive, power-worship... Interesting, very interesting."
This kind of personality, perhaps, would be even simpler and more direct to handle than Chen Yubing.
The system's prompts continued.
"Black Material generating... Please wait..."
This time, the waiting period seemed a little longer than usual. The loading icon in the center of the screen rotated slowly, keeping him in suspense.
Lu Xuan's fingertips tapped unconsciously on the phone screen, his eyes deep.
This Bai Yanxi, the daughter of the Military Region's Deputy Political Commissar, with excellent looks, figure, and temperament, and a strong, power-worshipping personality, what would her black material be?
Finally—
"Black Material generated!"
"Option One: Exchange 2000 points for a complete black material package."
"Option Two: Exchange 2 black material exchange coupons for a complete black material package."
"Two thousand points?!" Lu Xuan's eyebrows shot up.
He remembered clearly that Gu Yunxi's black material package had only cost 1500 points according to the system's exchange price.
This Bai Yanxi, surprisingly, was a full five hundred points higher than Gu Yunxi!
How dark... how explosive... must this black material be for the system to deem it so valuable?
Lu Xuan couldn't help but lick his lips, the desire to explore the unknown thoroughly ignited within him.
He currently had 959 points, still far from two thousand.
"It seems I can only use the exchange coupons."
Lu Xuan mused to himself. He had been rewarded with two black material exchange coupons after dealing with Chen Yubing, and they would be perfect here.
Although it pained him a bit, as exchange coupons were rare items, the thought of the black material content worth a whopping 2000 points made Lu Xuan feel that this was a worthwhile trade!
"Exchange!" He silently uttered in his mind without hesitation.
