America: I came here to study, not to show mercy.

"What, what did you say?"

Victoria paused for a moment, then quickly twisted her waist to look in another direction.

"It's a physical examination, just like when you examined me while I was asleep."

Li Xiaoen asked knowingly, carefully observing Victoria's expression. "Oh, everything outside has been checked. It seems like there's still one last place that hasn't been checked. Could you help check that side?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Victoria tensed up at first. After a long internal struggle, she calmed down, turned around, and reached out her trembling hands to grab Lee Shawn's waistband.

She came here specifically for this job, so there's no reason she should be scared off by a young man's words.

With her head bowed low, she was about to pull down when she realized that her hands were being held in a pair of large, hot hands. She looked up in surprise and saw that the young man in front of her had sat up at some point, his face suddenly looming large.

Li Xiaoen kissed Victoria on her smooth forehead, which was exposed by her long hair tied up. He then pulled her hand away and slumped his shoulders. "Don't worry, I've already checked."

"is it?"

Victoria stared at the young man for a moment, then quickly looked away, sitting on the edge of the bed, unsure of what to do next.

"It's good that you've checked it."

Quickly regaining her senses, Victoria stood up abruptly, about to leave, but her hand was grabbed tightly, pulling her back onto the bed.

"Sean, Sean..."

A sudden, inexplicable panic gripped Victoria, and she struggled weakly, saying, "Charlotte and the others are cooking; I have to go help."

"It's okay, it's not complicated. We can go later."

Li Xiaoen chuckled, naturally bringing up what Phil had said before, and affectionately stroking the girl's soft hands with both of his, "Judging by the time, it's been more than a month since we last saw each other, hasn't it?"

He was referring to his trip to Cambridge University in England during spring break. Objectively speaking, it's quite surprising that BanYan was able to achieve such a large scale in just over a month.

"right?"

Victoria nodded slightly; she remembered everything that had happened during this time all too clearly.

"So, it's been so long since we last met, why don't we sit down and have a proper chat?"

Li Xiaoen spoke slowly, and as Victoria finally looked up, he raised a hand to cup her slightly cold cheek and leaned closer.

With fervent anticipation, Li Xiaoen finally kissed those soft, rosy lips, savoring the girl's coy resistance as she gradually transformed from shyness to proactive allure.

Their lips intertwined as they poured out their longing and love for each other, their bodies unconsciously drawing closer and embracing each other tightly.

Kissing the girl's lips, the long-awaited intimacy made Li Xiaoen's heart tremble. His hand, which had been behind Victoria's slender waist, slipped inside her clothes, caressing her soft and delicate skin. It moved upwards, turning to her front, and finally, while the girl was still trembling, it reached her soft, snowy breasts.

Unfortunately, the inner garment seemed to fit too tightly, and Li Xiaoen was unable to break through that barrier. He could only take advantage of it, briefly pulling away from the girl's lips to kiss her cheek, ear, and neck...

"Humph……"

A soft, suppressed hum escaped her lips. Victoria felt sweet inside, but her mind went blank. Helpless, she could only hold the young man tightly. As if noticing his regret, she paused, pressed her head intimately against his cheek, and arched her back slightly.

With a sudden jolt, Li Xiaoen didn't let Victoria remain in that shameful position for long. His hand, which had slipped under her clothes, caressed her delicate skin, successfully breaching the brief opening in the barrier, and finally got what he wanted.

"Sean, Sean..."

Victoria was having trouble breathing and could only manage a few gasps.

"Well, I'm here."

Li Xiaoen responded in a deep, hoarse voice, and kissed the girl's lips again, "I really missed you, Victoria..."

"Me too……"

Their lips met, and they could only occasionally utter a few indistinct sounds.

"Sean, Sean..."

Lost in passion, Li Xiaoen's breathing became heavy. He pushed Victoria down onto the soft bed, which brought her back to her senses. She quickly grabbed the young man's hand that was reaching towards her lower body, "I...I still need to help with the cooking..."

"It's just cooking, we don't need too many people."

“If I leave for too long, they will become suspicious and may even come looking for me.”

Victoria quickly explained, her reasoning sounding righteous and righteous, yet her emerald green eyes now held a pleading, aggrieved look, which made Li Xiaoen's heart flutter for a moment.

He believed that if he insisted, the gentle girl would still give it to him; Victoria had never refused him before.

"Is this situation, which has been going on for so long, actually a disadvantage?"

His eyes quickly cleared, and Li Xiaoen helped Victoria sit up, making a comment that was both funny and exasperating.

Victoria hurriedly straightened her clothes with her head down. Upon hearing this, she looked up, opened her mouth, but then pursed her lips out of embarrassment, and stopped uttering those shameless words to the young man.

“Much profit… … ”

Seeing Victoria's actions, Li Xiaoen's heart burned with renewed passion, and he pulled the girl into his arms again. "How about I come to your room tonight?"

"To my room?"

Victoria looked at Li Xiaoen suspiciously at first, then realized what was happening and her eyes widened suddenly. "You... this... isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

"Is there anything wrong?"

Li Xiaoen chuckled, noticing that Victoria was avoiding his gaze, he peeked into her line of sight and said, "I like you, you like me, you're my girlfriend, it's a reasonable and legal thing."

"Who is your girlfriend?"

Victoria was taken aback at first, then quickly denied it. But the young man's words made her heart, which had been filled with sweetness, feel a little sore again. "Isn't your girlfriend Suffer?"

"I've confessed to you."

Li Xiaoen replied, forcing a tentative smile, "I'm a greedy person."

"..."

Snapped.

The room was silent for a moment, then a crisp sound suddenly rang out, and a fair, slender, and icy hand covered Li Xiaoen's face.

Li Xiaoen did not move her hand immediately, nor did she make any move to shake it off. She simply looked at Victoria's expression through the gap between her fingers.

"So, you'll be waiting for me in the room tonight?"

"Don't you dare make decisions on your own!"

Victoria glared at her, then stood up and walked towards the door. "The rooms on this ship are separated. What if someone else finds out?" This wasn't a clear refusal.

Li Xiaoen's face lit up with surprise. He was about to ask Victoria for confirmation when the girl turned around and fled towards the door.

Having fully recovered his energy and strength, Li Xiaoen felt no sleepiness whatsoever. He stayed in the room for a short while before going outside to the deck and lying down on a deck chair under the open-air canopy on the second floor, gazing blankly at the beautiful sunset and the fiery clouds on the horizon.

It seems he'll have to spend the night on the ship again. It's a pity that all the wood and firewood he stored in the [Containment Space], and even the seagull, are now useless.

Immersed in the [Containment Space], Li Xiaoen sighed helplessly. Suddenly realizing something, he quickly checked his system inventory and looked around at his own situation, then froze on the spot.

He only snapped out of his daze when he heard footsteps coming from the stairs, and got up to go to meet them.

"Ah, Sean, you're awake?"

Victoria opened her eyes wide and looked up, then quickly turned around and walked briskly toward the dining room next to the kitchen.

Is it really necessary to be so scared?

Li Xiaoen's expression turned strange. Looking at Victoria's shy appearance, she didn't seem to have the same passion and impulsiveness they had when they first "eloped."

Slowly lifting her leg to catch up with Victoria's pace, Li Xiaoen saw the other girls again at the restaurant.

"Hey hey hey..."

Li Xiaoen's attention was immediately drawn to the girls' gazes all fixed on the same spot. Her face darkened, and she pulled out a chair to sit down, using the table to block their view. "Couldn't you at least act like a princess?"

“If other people saw you like this, your image would definitely collapse.”

"Ha ha……"

Upon hearing this, the girls exchanged glances and burst into laughter. "Sean, this is a deserted island. There are only a few of us here."

"Even if we did something to you, who would know?"

Li Xiaoen: “???”

What kind of raunchy words are these coming from the mouths of these young ladies from prestigious families?
It's often said that when women are in complete control, their boldness and the things they say can sometimes leave men speechless, and now he's truly experienced that firsthand.

Li Xiaoen subconsciously looked at Sufiel, and after the other party coughed twice, Serafina and Mary finally slowly suppressed their teasing smiles.

Because the supplies were not fully collected, Li Xiaoen suffered a sudden mishap, and there were concerns about the safety of the island, the group had no choice but to spend the night on the yacht.

As the only one who insisted on following the rules of wilderness survival, Captain Serafina took the initiative to take the responsibility of keeping watch. The others sat on the deck chatting, enjoying the sea breeze, and drinking, staying until 10:30 p.m. before returning to their rooms.

Using the Eye of Insight, Li Xiaoen finally saw the girls return to their rooms. Seizing the opportunity, he tiptoed out of the house and went to the room on the second floor near Victoria's bow. He then gently knocked on the door.

There was no cell phone signal on the island, so he had no choice but to risk being discovered. Under the observation of the Eye of Insight, Victoria, sitting on the bed, tensed up at first, opened her mouth to look at the door, but ultimately couldn't say anything.

To avoid being discovered, Li Xiaoen had no choice but to push open the door and go inside.

“Much profit… … ”

After closing and locking the door again, Li Xiaoen breathed a sigh of relief and chuckled as he approached the other person, "You even took a shower..."

"It's...it's already this late, of course I'll wash it."

Victoria stammered a reply, turning her slender waist to look to the side, "Why aren't you resting earlier? What are you doing in my room so late? Is there something you need?"

"Don't you know why I'm here?"

Li Xiaoen asked with amusement, his desire, which had subsided before dinner, reignited. He sat on the edge of the bed, reached out and pulled Victoria, who was looking at him warily, into his arms, and kissed her red lips.

"Sean, Sean..."

After a moment of hesitation, Victoria quickly struggled, "No, let's not do it tonight, okay?"

"why?"

Li Xiaoen paused for a moment, then stopped what he was doing.

Although Victoria wouldn't refuse him, he didn't want to force such a gentle and kind girl to do anything.

"Sean, you..."

Victoria looked up and met the young man's burning gaze. She composed herself and said softly, "You just passed out this afternoon for some reason. For your health, you should get some rest tonight."

"I can tell you definitively that I'm fine, absolutely fine, and I don't need to recuperate at all."

Li Xiaoen sighed and emphasized again, then used both hands to pull Victoria onto his lap, "Look, I'm perfectly normal, I'm full of strength and energy."

"I...maybe I shouldn't..."

Victoria opened her mouth and managed to utter a sound.

"Let's not talk about that now."

The night was long, and Li Xiaoen wasn't in a hurry. He wrapped his arms around the girl's slender and soft waist, caressing it comfortably. "Victoria, when you found me this afternoon, did you see anything on my belt?"

"On the belt?"

As the conversation turned to business, Victoria gradually shed her shyness about being intimate with her sweetheart and looked up to recall, "I remember, there shouldn't have been any back then, right?"

"Tell me what it is, and see if I remember it."

There really was something on the young man's belt. She hadn't felt it when she was holding him for a long time, and she hadn't noticed it when the other girls took off his clothes to tidy them up afterwards. If there was anything there, it must have been something the other girls had put aside.

"It's a very long, coiled vine."

It couldn't be called a horsewhip rope. Li Xiaoen looked for a similar-shaped object. "I was in the forest at the time, and I saw that the vine was straight and had no slanted branches. I was going to tear it off and keep it."

"As for vines, I don't think I saw any."

Victoria shook her head and gave the young man a helpless look. She knew that men could sometimes be childish, let alone Li Xiaoen, who had been playing childish games by himself.

"Ok."

Li Xiaoen nodded.

It's probably because of the "old man's reins" that she overused the "containment space," causing her to become delirious and lose a lot of mental energy. She was also considered by the other girls to lack masculinity and was forced to undergo an insecure examination by the girls and Sophie. Now, it's being used as a reason for Victoria to refuse intimacy.

Given how unlucky he is, how much benefit can he gain from the subsequent reversal?

Li Xiaoen remained calm, waiting to see if the "fortune might turn out to be a blessing in disguise" would arrive.

With that thought in mind, Li Xiaoen didn't feel that the last bit might be unattainable. He chatted briefly with Victoria about their daily lives after they parted, and his hands, which had been resting on her soft waist, began to move. (End of Chapter)
