The lecture hall fell silent as Qiu Dingjie stepped to the podium. Not the respectful quiet of attentive students, but the charged hush of people in the presence of someone dangerous. At 185cm, with broad shoulders tapering to a narrow waist, he commanded attention without effort.

"Power isn't about influence," he said, his voice low and graveled with authority. "It's about control. Absolute, unyielding control." His gaze swept the room like a blade, evaluating, dismissing, until it landed on her.

She sat straight, chin high, eyes meeting his without flinching. Not awe. Not fear. Just... assessment. As if she was the one with the power here.

"But what happens when that control becomes obsession?" Her voice cut through the tension like a whip.

The room froze. No one questioned Qiu Dingjie. Not ever.

He smiled then—a cold, predatory thing that made several students shift uncomfortably. "Obsession is just passion with purpose. And I always get what I'm passionate about." He stepped away from the podium, moving down the aisle with the deliberate grace of a panther.

"You think you're different?" he murmured when he reached her row, leaning over her desk with one hand braced on the wood, caging her in. "That you can challenge me and walk away?" His scent—sandalwood and something sharp, metallic—invaded her space.

Class ended. Students fled. She tried to stand, but he blocked her path, his body pressing against hers, one arm sliding along the back of her chair.

"Where do you think you're going?" he whispered against her ear, his hand gripping her jaw, forcing her to meet his eyes. "You wanted my attention. Now you have it. And I don't share what's mine." His thumb brushed her lower lip, hard enough to sting. "Who the fuck do you think you are?"
