After enjoying a sumptuous seafood feast, Xu Xiaorong leaned against a rocky outcrop, satisfied, and suddenly said, "Thank you. If we can safely leave this place, I will give you a large sum of money as a token of gratitude."

"A large sum of money? Is your family very wealthy?" I couldn't help but ask.

"Of course, my old man is a shareholder in Hui Long Industries, and our family wealth is close to a billion!" She looked at me triumphantly, "As long as you treat me better, stop always putting on a sour face, and listen to me in everything, maybe I'll give you more money. How about two hundred thousand?"

Listening to her words, I couldn't help but sneer. She actually tried to buy me with money, how boring. Moreover, I suspected this little island was not as simple as it seemed, and her attitude might end up causing trouble.

"Never mind, let's not talk about this. The most important thing now is whether we can safely get back. Get some sleep!" I advised.

Perhaps thinking that I found the amount insufficient and considering raising the offer, she looked surprised at my refusal. She might have assumed that a poor guy like me would light up at the sight of money. Unfortunately, she was mistaken; although I was poor, I still had my dignity.

She looked at me gloomily for a while, eventually imitating my actions clumsily, spreading some old clothes on the beach, and lying down.

I positioned myself on the outer side, her leaning against the inner side of the rock. For safety, she deliberately placed the worn-out suitcase in the middle.

Next to me was the remnants of the campfire.

Thinking everything was safe, as the night grew quiet, I suddenly felt a weight on me, as if something was pressing down.

I abruptly opened my eyes, only to see Xu Xiaorong hugging me like an octopus, burying her little head in my neck, rubbing continuously.

Her soft chest pressed against mine, the sensation of her rubbing made my heart restless. However, I knew she might be dreaming and mistook me for a pillow. If anything happened because of this, it wouldn't be good.

I struggled to push her away; she held on tight. It took considerable effort to push her halfway off. Unexpectedly, I inadvertently grabbed her smooth thigh while pushing, and she suddenly woke up, staring at me with wide eyes. Then, she let out a scream, followed by a solid slap across my face.

"You came on your own, and now you're hitting me?" I was really infuriated.

Hearing me say this, she looked around, realizing the truth of what I said, and appeared embarrassed. Her initially proud expression disappeared in an instant, replaced by a hint of guilt. She opened her mouth as if to say something but hesitated. Suddenly, an idea struck me, and I quickly covered her rosy mouth.

"Shut up! It seems like something is coming over!" I whispered.

I heard slow footsteps approaching from behind the rocky outcrop, gently getting closer to us.

"Could it be some wild animal?" A sense of tension surged within me. I couldn't care less about Xu Xiaorong, who was already frightened into silence. I picked up a large stone from the ground, quietly peeking around the side of the rock.

Upon seeing it, I was greatly surprised. It wasn't a wild animal coming from behind the rock; it was two people, and I recognized them – my ex-girlfriend Qianyi and her current boyfriend, the bald Hu Yijian!

This couple unexpectedly ended up on this deserted island.
