In the dead of night, the hustle and bustle of the campus had long since faded away.
Aside from the occasional rustle of the wind sweeping through dead branches, the entire campus was so quiet it seemed to have fallen into a deep slumber.
After typing the last line of code, the literature data was neatly archived and saved.
Li Xingya leaned back in her chair, feeling somewhat drained. A fine layer of sweat still lingered on her fair forehead.
If one looked closely, they would notice that her shapely legs, wrapped in Hermes-grey pantyhose, were still trembling ever so slightly.
The "extracurricular tutoring" session that had just taken place under the office desk had drained almost all the energy from this soft, timid little rabbit.
The thrill of being pushed to the edge by Su Bai, all while enduring the extreme tension of potentially being discovered by her senior at any moment, still made her head spin just thinking about it.
"All packed up?"
Su Bai stood to the side, toying with his car keys. Looking at her charming, thoroughly satisfied appearance, his eyes were filled with a gentle smile.
"Mhm... I'm ready, Boss," Li Xingya replied, her voice as soft as a mosquito's hum. She flusteredly smoothed out her slightly rumpled skirt and obediently followed behind Su Bai out of the building, looking for all the world like a little wife who had done something wrong.
The night breeze was cool, but it couldn't blow away the burning heat on Li Xingya's cheeks.
One after the other, the two slipped into the anime-decaled Porsche Panamera parked along the tree-lined avenue.
As soon as the car doors closed, the small, private space instantly shut out the cold from the outside world.
Before Li Xingya even had time to buckle her seatbelt, Su Bai's warm breath washed over her as he pulled her into his broad embrace.
"Mmph..."
Li Xingya submissively wrapped her arms around Su Bai's neck, allowing him to conquer and claim her territory.
It wasn't until she let out a kitten-like whimper from lack of oxygen that Su Bai finally released her, still looking unsatisfied.
"Let's go. I'll take you back to the East Lake Clubhouse to rest." Su Bai reached out and pinched her soft, squishy cheek, preparing to start the car.
Hearing the words "East Lake Clubhouse," Li Xingya's hazy eyes instantly cleared up a bit, and her body involuntarily shrank back.
"Boss... can I... can I not go to the clubhouse tonight?"
Gripping her seatbelt, Li Xingya's large, watery eyes were filled with timid pleading.
There were too many people at the clubhouse.
Although it was Su Bai's current happy haven, there were also many girls living there.
Even though everyone usually treated her very well, and Chen Yusheng even considered her a good sister-in-arms, the core of Li Xingya's personality remained introverted.
Tonight, right in Chen Yusheng's laboratory, behind the main girlfriend's back, she had done such crazy and shameful things with Su Bai... If she went back now and faced Chen Yusheng's cool eyes that seemed to see through everything, Li Xingya felt she would definitely break down from the guilt.
...Even though Chen Yusheng didn't actually mind if something happened between her and Su Bai, sigh, it just came down to her personality being too soft and timid!
Seeing her looking like a little quail about to bury her head in her chest, how could Su Bai not guess what she was thinking?
"What? You dared to sneak a bite right under Sheng Sheng's nose, but now you're too scared to go back and face her?" Su Bai teased with a wicked sense of humor.
"Whimper... Boss, please stop saying that..." Li Xingya was so ashamed she wanted to find a hole to crawl into, her eye rims even turning a bit red.
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore." Su Bai chuckled, reaching out to rub her hair, his tone turning gentle. "Since you don't want to go to the clubhouse, I'll take you somewhere else tonight. Just the two of us."
Accompanied by the deep roar of the engine, the Panamera turned into a streak of light, driving into the bustling night of Jiangcheng.
Not long after.
The car drove smoothly into the underground garage of the Ascott.
When Su Bai held Li Xingya's hand, took the exclusive elevator straight to the top floor, and pushed open the heavy front door, Li Xingya's eyes widened in surprise.
This was that mountain-and-water style luxury duplex!
This used to be the golden house where Su Bai kept his beauties and settled his many lovers.
Li Xingya had tagged along a few times before, but ever since everyone moved to the East Lake Clubhouse, she assumed this place had been left vacant or the lease had been canceled.
"Boss... people can still live here?" Li Xingya looked around curiously.
"Of course." Su Bai casually took off his jacket and hung it in the entryway. "I signed a one-year long-term lease back then, and only half a year has passed. Even though we don't live here normally, property management arranges for a dedicated butler to come up every day for regular cleaning and ventilation, so all the facilities are in perfect working order. It just so happens to serve as a secondary base now."
A man like him just had to secure more secret bases!
Not just in Jiangcheng, but other places would have to be arranged in the future too.
As the two walked in, the smart home system sensed the arrival of its master.
Inside the originally pitch-black duplex, hidden ambient lights lit up one after another. The warm, dim lighting Su Bai had set up in advance on his phone flowed like liquid amber, tinting the entire spacious and luxurious area with a cozy, romantic vibe, completely devoid of the coldness of an uninhabited space.
"Go take a bath. You've been in the lab all day, you must be tired." Su Bai wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder.
Li Xingya nodded obediently and followed Su Bai into the massive master bathroom.
In the center of the master bathroom was a sunken, constant-temperature scenic bathtub large enough to accommodate four or five people at once.
Next to the bathtub was an entire wall of one-way floor-to-ceiling glass, overlooking the dazzling night view of Jiangcheng's CBD.
Warm spring water quickly filled the tub, with fresh rose petals prepared in advance by the butler floating on the surface. The air was filled with the sweet fragrance of high-end essential oils.
Li Xingya shed her clothes. Her delicate body, which had been tightly wrapped in the grey pantyhose all night and was already flushed an alluring pink, slowly slid into the soothing water.
In that moment, it felt as if all her exhaustion was gently dissolved by the rippling water.
Just then, Su Bai walked over to the control panel on the wall and pressed a few buttons.
"Hum—"
A burst of incredibly pure and ethereal music instantly surrounded them in three dimensions, echoing throughout the bathroom and even the entire duplex floor.
This was the Hi-Fi sound system Su Bai had casually spent over a million yuan to heavily modify for the sake of ultimate enjoyment.
That immersive acoustic resolution was simply unmatched by ordinary equipment.
A soothing and romantic female jazz vocal, carrying a hint of lazy huskiness, intertwined with the splashing sounds of the water in the tub, weaving into an incredibly aphrodisiacal nocturne.
Su Bai also stepped into the water, pulling Li Xingya's soft body entirely into his arms.
Li Xingya leaned against Su Bai's sturdy chest. The warm water enveloped her entire body; in her ears was the ultimate romance flowing from a million-yuan sound system, and before her eyes was the gentle gaze of her beloved man.
At this moment, an unprecedented, immense sense of satisfaction and happiness completely filled Li Xingya's heart.
She recalled all her hard work over this recent period.
To catch up with Chen Yusheng and prove herself worthy of the job Su Bai had given her, she worked from dawn to dusk every day. She spent hours alone in the laboratory, poring over obscure English literature and organizing tedious, complex data models.
There were many times when she felt exhausted, feeling as though her brain simply wasn't enough to handle it all.
But now, nestled in the arms of this god-like, flawless man, savoring the ultimate luxury and romance that belonged only to the two of them...
Beneath the water, Li Xingya couldn't help but wrap her arms tightly around Su Bai's waist, a genuinely sweet smile blossoming on her lips.
She thought to herself that if she could occasionally have a perfect night like this, escaping the hustle and bustle of the world to be alone with Su Bai...
Then working as a research assistant, no matter how grueling and exhausting, was absolutely worth it!
"What's on your mind? You're smiling so sweetly."
"I was just thinking... about how good my boss is to me." Li Xingya tilted her head up, blinking her innocent eyes. "Boss... I've rested enough... Our one-on-one... can begin."
