Chapter 22: Seduction and Captivity

Xu Zhe felt like he was possessed. The more he resisted, the more he was possessed. After he had a girlfriend, the image of the teenager appeared more frequently in his mind. He was afraid of this feeling and tried to avoid that person, but when he couldn't see his anymore, he longed for his with all his heart. The poem "beauty is beautiful, forget it once a day, think of it like crazy" perfectly expressed his current mood. So when the teenager appeared again, he decided to go and see his without hesitation, even if just for a glance. 

Inside the library, Alex had already noticed someone spying on his, and with a smile on his lips, he got up and walked towards a certain row of bookshelves in the front. 

Xu Zhe saw the young man walking slowly towards him and hurriedly took a few steps towards the inner side of the bookshelf, looking down at the book in his hand. The young man stopped suddenly as he approached. 

Alex felt relieved. It seemed that the seeds planted during this period had almost taken root. He couldn't use the slow and gentle approach anymore, so he stood in front of Xu Zhe, raised his face and smiled and asked, "Is this book good, Xu Zhe?" 

Xu Zhe didn't expect the teenager to initiate a conversation with him. He casually picked up a book and peered at the teenager nervously, not reading a word of it, not even the title. He froze for a few seconds and stammered back, "It's beautiful." 

Alex's eyebrows and eyes unfolded, and he chuckled. "I admire Xu Zhe's wide range of hobbies. Would you like to be friends so we can exchange ideas and learn from each other?" 

Xu Zhe was completely lost in the other person's smile, nodded, exchanged phone numbers, and then the other person left. He took a deep breath, his heartbeat was so fast that he was worried it might jump out of his chest. Looking at the number on his phone, Xu Zhe couldn't help but grin. Now that the boy was gone, he had no use here. Closing the book and preparing to put it back on the shelf, he muttered a curse. The book's cover was printed with five big words: Pregnancy and Fetal Education. 

Oh my god! How could there be such books in the school library? Xu Zhe knew why the young man had chuckled just now, and after putting away the book with a flushed face, he hurriedly left. 

For several days in a row, Alex took the initiative to contact Xu Zhe and asked for some financial knowledge. Xu Zhe patiently answered her questions, and the two talked on the phone more often. 

Lu Xueyan felt that her boyfriend was very strange these days. She first said that he was too busy and only saw him at lunchtime one day. When she went to see her boyfriend, she was either talking excitedly on the phone or sending messages excitedly. With a girl's intuition, her boyfriend was very likely to have other people he liked. She was not willing to admit it, nor did she want to point it out or question it. She quietly searched for clues, and finally heard her boyfriend whispering on the phone, "Alex." 

She was shocked. Could she have heard wrong? Alex? Alex? There were many homophones, and she wasn't sure. Until a week later, on Friday afternoon, she followed behind and saw her boyfriend get into a taxi, but he didn't leave. After waiting for a while, a teenager also got into the taxi, and then the car started up and sped away. 

Lu Xueyan's thoughts were in a whirl. Finally, she comforted herself that perhaps the two were just friends and that she was being too sensitive. However, after thinking it over, she began to have doubts about her boyfriend's strange behavior when he met Alex. She picked up the phone and dialed the number, only to find that it had been turned off. 

Lu Xueyan stared at the phone in her hand, confused and unsure what to do, hoping it wasn't what she thought. 

Xu Zhe took Alex back to a nearby apartment. He casually mentioned that he had a set of limited edition economic books that they had talked about on the phone, and Alex asked if he could lend them to him for the weekend. Without hesitation, he agreed. His parents were both busy and sometimes not in the country, so he usually returned to the main house only on weekends. He had just called and asked the driver not to pick him up, so he wouldn't be going home this week. 

Open the door and invite Alex in. Let him wait in the living room while you go back to the study to get some books. When you come out, you'll see the young man looking at the model on the shelf in the living room with great interest. 

Hey, these are my collections. You won't laugh at my childishness, will you? Xu Zhe and the boy have been chatting a lot recently, and their conversations are very casual. 

Alex chuckled lightly, "No, these are very powerful." 

"Really?" Xu Zhe became interested and began to tell the origin of these anime models.Alex listened patiently to Xu Zhe's introduction, sometimes interjecting with exclamations, and the two talked for two hours until nightfall. 

Xu Zhe realized that he was too excited and apologized quickly, saying, "I'm sorry, I got carried away." 

"It's okay. You seem to like heroic characters. Do you want to save the world?" Alex teased with a smile. 

"Well, I don't have such big ambitions. I just want to be able to protect the person I love. "Xu Zhe scratched his head, his handsome face showing a bit of childishness. 

Without knowing who made a "gu du" sound in their stomach, the two people smiled at each other. Xu Zhe picked up his bag and said generously, "Let's go. I'll treat you to dinner." 

Alex waved his hand and refused, "That's too expensive. Do you have any ingredients in your fridge? I can make something at random." 

"Ah! Can you cook?" Xu Zhe opened his mouth wide in disbelief. 

"Poor people's children are mature early. Do you think you have a good fate?" Alex gave him a look. 

Sorry 

"Why should we feel sorry? We can't decide when we are born, but our future is in our own hands. Do you look down on poor friends?" 

No, no! I just think you're really good at everything. Xu Zhe hurriedly explained. 

Alex walked towards the kitchen and said, "You won't blame me for taking over the spotlight, will you?" 

"Please, I'd love to." Xu Zhe made a gesture of inviting. 

Alex found some simple ingredients in the fridge and made a meal that almost made Xu Zhe's tongue disappear. He praised, "It's delicious!" 

Alex secretly thought, I'll give you a little sweetness first, and I'll take back everything including the interest. 

After dinner, Xu Zhe volunteered to wash the dishes, while Alex chatted with him in the kitchen. 

When the clock reached ten, Alex was surprised and said, "It's so late, I'll go home first." 

"Sleep here. There are guest rooms. We can still chat more." Xu Zhe had already made up his mind to stay with the boy. He felt like he had never been so happy and wanted to be with him all the time. 

The two of them played video games and watched movies until one o'clock in the morning, when Alex shouted for a bath and Xu Zhe gave him his own set of pajamas. 

When Alex came out of the bathroom, Xu Zhe, who was sitting on the sofa watching a video disc, turned his head and stared, stunned. 

The wet hair of the teenager was spread out, the pajamas were too big and half of the white shoulders were exposed, the dark eyes were full of light, the slightly tilted red lips were moist and glossy, it could be said that his face was like the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, his color was like the flower in the early spring, and his whole body exuded a beautiful atmosphere. 

The teenager walked slowly towards him and said, "What's wrong? Is it weird to wear your pajamas?" 

This had a great impact on Xu Zhe, causing him to unconsciously clench his hands and breath heavily. He felt an uncontrollable urge to stand up, but immediately clamped his legs and shook his head in bewilderment. 

The teenager walked up to him, looked at him curiously, and continued to ask, "Are you hot? You're sweating a lot." The teenager took out a tissue from the coffee table, bent slightly, and reached out to help him wipe it off. This action directly exposed his pajamas, allowing Xu Zhe to clearly see the teenager's snow-white chest and two enticing pink nipples. 

Xu Zhe didn't wait for the tissue to touch his head, but stood up in a panic and said urgently, "I'm going to take a bath!" 

Alex couldn't let the opportunity slip away, and with a flick of his hand in his long sleeve, Xu Zhe came towards him as if he wasn't standing still.
