In the upstairs restroom.

The tap was finally turned off.

Li Ruo leaned against Lu Xingzhou's chest, her body as limp as a puddle of water.

Her hair was wet and then dry, then wet again, lying loosely on her shoulders like a crumpled piece of silk.

"I want to take a shower."

Her voice was hoarse, with a languid quality: "Get out."

Lu Xingzhou did not move.

"Lu Xingzhou".

"Um?"

"go out!"

"In no mood."

Li Ruo raised her head and glared at him.

Those eyes were red and still misty with tears, and their glaring gaze had no intimidating power whatsoever.

Lu Xingzhou lowered his head and pressed his lips to her brow.

"Ruoruo".

He tickled her heart with his deep, seductive voice: "You know, the way you glare at people... is also quite cute."

Li Ruo angrily pushed him away: "Are you ever going to stop?"

Lu Xingzhou was pushed back a step and leaned against the sink.

He looked at her, a smile on his lips, but a hint of seriousness in his eyes.

"It's not over yet."

His smile was both mischievous and charming:

"You've waited so long, do you think I'll be done so quickly?"

Li Ruo: "..."

[Lu Xingzhou: I've waited over 1,800 days, and you think you can get rid of me in just over an hour?]

[Li Ruo: I regret it. Can I turn him back five years? To that guy who lasted less than five seconds?]

[Zhou Si was downstairs handling island defenses, while the little dog listened underground. Pei Qing had ordered them to attack from the sea... This island is quite lively today!]

Seeing her angry yet helpless expression, Lu Xingzhou finally softened.

"Okay," he said, "I'll go out."

He bent down to pick up the shirt from the ground and slowly put it on.

Buttons were fastened one by one, from bottom to top, each one carefully fastened.

Li Ruo leaned against the wall, watching him get dressed.

Sunlight streamed in through the cracks in the window and fell on him.

He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and his shirt fit him perfectly, like an exquisitely crafted gift box.

Before being unpacked, he was an elegant gentleman;

Once opened, it turned out to be a beast that devours people without spitting out the bones.

"Have you seen enough?" Lu Xingzhou raised his head, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Li Ruo turned her face away: "Who's looking at you?"

Lu Xingzhou smiled.

He walked over, stopped in front of her, hooked his finger under her chin, and turned her face towards him.

"Ruoruo".

"what?"

"next time."

His lips touched her forehead, and he said softly, "Let's go somewhere else."

Li Ruo was taken aback: "Where to?"

Lu Xingzhou's lips curled into a meaningful smile: "Let's find a place... where the door won't get kicked down."

Li Ruo: "..."

[Hahahaha, he's still holding a grudge!]

[Lu Xingzhou: Today I was having a blast, but next time I don't want it to be that easy! I want something even more thrilling!]

[Li Ruo: Don't force me to beg you to let go of my waist! I won't give you another chance to ask me out again!!!]

Lu Xingzhou released her and turned to walk towards the door.

His hand rested on the doorknob, and he paused for a second.

"Ruoruo".

"Um?"

"This time... it's my strength."

He didn't turn around, but his voice came from behind him: "I really didn't take my medicine."

Li Ruo: "..."

You...didn't take your medicine?

If you take the drug... how powerful and exciting would it be?!

Is he even more ferocious than Zhou Si?

Lu Xingzhou pushed open the door and went out.

The door closed gently behind him.

Li Ruo leaned against the wall, listening to his footsteps fade into the distance.

Her face was burning hot, and her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her chest.

She lowered her head and looked at herself.

There were teeth marks on her collarbone, red marks on her chest, and finger marks on her lower abdomen—all left by that seemingly well-dressed man.

"Crazy," she whispered.

But the corners of her mouth turned up.

As of now, Zhou Si, who has been somewhat reserved and restrained these past two days, will eventually be pushed out by Lu Xingzhou.

A blend of gentleness and domineering nature, a combination of gentleman and beast.

Her experience was absolutely hilarious!

Uh... but can you even compare them in this respect?!

...Is it possible?

After all, these are the conditions.

Waaaaah... So embarrassing~~

She covered her face with her hands, the image of Zhou Si, the "big brother," flashing through her mind again and again.

Lu Xingzhou is a very capable worker.

There's also the thoughtful and considerate little dog, Jiangwu.

Hehehe...

Outside the door, the corridor was empty.

Lu Xingzhou stood at the door and straightened the collar of his shirt.

His fingers touched the scratches on his neck, and he hissed.

Those red marks stung terribly; they were left by Li Ruo at the last moment.

He pulled his collar up to cover the marks.

Then he looked up and gazed at the end of the corridor.

There was a window there, and outside the window was the sea.

On the sea, Pei Qingrang's research vessel remained in its original position, like a nail driven into the sea.

Lu Xingzhou's lips curled up slightly.

It seems it's time to get rid of you guys one by one.

He turned and walked down the stairs towards the room to the south.

As he passed the trash can, he casually tossed a crumpled tissue into it, as if he were just throwing away a piece of waste paper.

But he didn't want anyone to see what was wrapped in that tissue.

I don't want to right now, at least not right now.

Wait, what did he throw?!

[What's wrapped in this tissue? It couldn't be...]

He didn't want anyone to see any trace of Li Ruo!!! This possessiveness!!!

[Lu Xingzhou, that's enough!!! You're not going to go around telling each of those lunatics... about Li Ruo, are you?!]

He's going to show off to those lunatics! He's definitely going to show off to them! That madman!

In the downstairs reception room.

Zhou Si stood by the window, looking at the research vessel on the sea.

His phone rang.

It was a message from Lu Xingzhou.

[Second-floor guest room, the south-facing one. Could you please have someone bring up a change of clothes? My shirt and trousers are accidentally wet.]

Zhou Si stared at the message, his fingers gripping his phone tightly.

It got wet.

That bastard Lu Xingzhou not only stole his territory but also took over his people, and now he's treating him like a servant to be ordered around at will!

He didn't reply, threw his phone on the sofa, and turned to walk towards the door.

"Someone come here."

"Boss?"

"Send a set of clothes to the guest room on the second floor. For Lu Xingzhou."

The bodyguard paused for a moment, then asked, "What's the size?"

Zhou Si paused for a moment.

"1.88 meters tall, 75 kilograms. Shirt: 42 yuan, trousers: 32 yuan."

His voice was calm, so calm it didn't sound like that of a gangster boss who lived on the edge of a knife:

"No tie, he doesn't know how to tie it."

Bodyguard: "...Yes."

[Zhou Si, why did you memorize Lu Xingzhou's size?!]

Five years have passed, and he knows everyone inside and out... The way he reports sizes looks terrifying yet inexplicably heartbreaking.

Is this the professionalism of a mafia godfather? He even remembers his love rival's measurements perfectly!!?

[Lu Xingzhou: I don't want a tie, thank you for understanding me.]

[Zhou Si: I'm not worried about you not knowing how to tie a tie (indifferent.jpg) I'm afraid you'll use the tie to hang yourself!]

[This is the ultimate simp! To avoid hurting Li Ruo or making her angry, he even went so far as to lick Li Ruo's boots?]

Zhou Si walked out of the reception room, stood in the courtyard, and looked up at the second floor.

The window was open, and the white curtains swayed gently in the sea breeze.

Behind the curtains is Li Ruo's room.

He looked at it for a while, then looked away.

In the distance, the sound of motors could be heard from the sea.

A speedboat was heading towards the island at high speed. A person wearing a black diving suit stood at the bow, with wet hair plastered to his forehead, like a siren who had just crawled out of the sea.

Zhou Si's pupils suddenly contracted.

Lu Ran.

He was the best buddy who grew up with him, who used to talk about everything and always expressed his dislike for women, but who ultimately betrayed him with a shovel.

He finally swam across.
