Lu Zijing came from an ordinary middle-class family. Her academic performance was poor, and she was vain, the kind of child parents might give up on. However, her beauty made her extremely popular at school, with many boys eager to be around her.
By chance, Lu Zijing learned through a forum that some wealthy businessmen had a particular fondness for young girls, especially their virginity, which could fetch a high price. For a beautiful girl, the starting bid was typically around a hundred thousand.
Lu Zijing was tempted. She had always been vain, but her family's limited means prevented her from showcasing her beauty further. She wanted money, lots of it.
Soon, Lu Zijing managed to get in touch with a wealthy businessman named Mr. Gu. A married man with a fortune, he maintained the image of a respectable businessman by day but had a secret penchant for young girls.
Although Lu Zijing was naturally flirtatious, she thought it best to be more reserved for her first time. After arranging to meet Mr. Gu, she donned her school uniform and, after school on a Wednesday, boarded a private car headed straight for Lanshan Villa.
As the car made its way to Lanshan Villa, Lu Zijing felt a surge of admiration. She longed to live in such a grand villa herself. To achieve that, she either needed wealth or to attach herself to a wealthy man. The vain girl naturally preferred the latter, confident in her beauty and youth.
Upon arriving at No. 23 Lanshan Villa, Lu Zijing was escorted inside by the butler.
The villa was magnificent, with luxurious interiors. A particularly large crystal chandelier in the living room made the place feel like a dreamy castle. The butler pointed to a room upstairs, 'Mr. Gu is waiting for you in the bedroom. You may go up by yourself.'
'Okay, thank you,' Lu Zijing glanced cautiously in the direction the butler had indicated, her heart filled with anticipation. After all, her virginity had been sold for 150,000, an astronomical sum for a high school student. She was already dreaming of the wonderful life that lay ahead.
Of course, she was also determined to win over this man. Selling herself just once seemed too dull; she wanted more.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Zijing stepped onto the stairs, moving slowly towards the door. When she reached it, the door wasn't fully closed, leaving a slight gap. She knocked, and upon hearing 'Come in,' she hesitantly pushed the door open and stepped inside.
The bedroom was also spacious, fully furnished with all necessary furniture, and in the center was an exceptionally large bed, made up very neatly, indicating the owner of the room was someone who paid attention to detail.
Lu Zijing quickly noticed a huge wedding photo on the wall, featuring a handsome man and a beautiful woman, a seemingly perfect match as a couple.
"Had enough looking?" Gu Qian spoke up.
Startled, Lu Zijing realized she had been staring and quickly turned towards the source of the voice. Gu Qian was leisurely sitting on the sofa, legs crossed, with a magazine in one hand and just placing a teacup on the small table beside him with the other.
The man was in his forties, perhaps even fifties, well-maintained without any sign of a decline in physique, wearing glasses that added a touch of authority to his appearance.
Looking at the man, Lu Zijing finally felt nervous. She whispered, "I'm sorry for my behavior, ... I, I'm Lu Zijing. Are you Mr. Gu?"
The man nodded, gave her a once-over, and smiled, "Indeed, you look very young. Are you really a virgin?"
Lu Zijing was taken aback but nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes."
"You're much prettier in person than in photos." He said, putting down the magazine and standing up, slowly walking over until he was right in front of Lu Zijing.
Only then did Lu Zijing realize how tall the man was. She felt nervous yet expectant, standing there obediently as the man approached.
Gu Qian quickly moved closer, pinched the girl's chin and slightly lifted it, making her look at him, and gave her a pleased smile, "I'm looking forward to your performance today."
The man's breath sprayed on the girl's cheeks, turning Lu Zijing's face completely red. She didn't know where to look, growing even more nervous, worried about performing poorly and being disliked.
The man's other hand also reached up, moving down from the girl's cheeks to her neck, then her collarbone, "The school uniform is nice, I like it."
Lu Zijing nervously swallowed, feeling the heat rise where the man had touched, "I'm glad you like it."
Gu Qian chuckled softly, his fingers touching her chest over the school uniform, "Can you take off your top?"
Blushing, Lu Zijing let out a barely audible "Mm" from her throat, then took off her backpack, turned her back to the man, and prepared to remove her top.
