“If we don’t make it back in time tonight, or if we’re delayed by other things, you must not come looking for us,” Lu Wuyai said.

Every departure could be the last time we meet.

As Song Xiaoyou watched Lu Wuyai and Su Xi leave, she suddenly spoke, her clear voice echoing beneath the precipitous peak.

Let's go together.

Lu Wuyai turned around, looked at Song Xiaoyou, smiled, and waved goodbye.

"We'll talk about it when we get back."

In fact, the dangerous peak is not far from the sea; a two-hour journey is enough for them to reach the sea.

Shortly after leaving the dangerous mountain peak, Tang Xin suddenly grabbed Lu Wuyai's hand.

As a result, Lu Wuyai was startled by this action and subconsciously said, "What are you doing?"

Su Xi felt a pang of sadness seeing Lu Wuyai stung by the poisonous bees, but she still tried her best to maintain a smile: "I'm not a poisonous snake, am I?"

Lu Wuyai smiled awkwardly, realizing that his actions had hurt Su Xi, but he did not apologize.

Su Xi still greeted him with a smile. She wanted to ease her relationship with Lu Wuyai, but she failed every time.

By this time, the sun was already high in the sky, and the two gradually quickened their pace, trying to reach the beach before 10 o'clock.

But looking at the pretty figure beside him, Lu Wuyai did feel a bit conflicted.

It would be a lie to say I don't dislike Su Xi, but if I say I don't have any feelings for her right now, it's mostly because of her beautiful figure.

"Men really are animals that think with their lower bodies." Lu Wuyai understood his thoughts to some extent and smiled helplessly.

In the following time, he focused on heading towards the beach, and before they knew it, they were getting closer and closer to their goal.

At 9:45, we arrived at the beach earlier than expected.

Gazing at the boundless blue sea, Lu Wuyai took a deep breath, his thoughts drifting aimlessly. By the time he came to his senses, Su Xi had already jumped into the sea.

Her long, snow-white legs were faintly visible in the sea. At this moment, Su Xi was like a mermaid, embracing this selfless and mysterious ocean.

Su Xi played for a while, then slowly walked out of the water. His shirt was soaked, and his tightly wrapped body was vaguely visible. The two slightly trembling snow-capped peaks made Lu Wuyai's heart suddenly race.

Seeing Lu Wuyai's lecherous behavior still made Su Xi feel very sad. It seemed that he cared more about her health.

“Make a phone call,” Lu Wuyai said, frowning. “Let’s hurry and extract the salt. We’ll get more this time.”

Su Xi nodded, putting all her previous unhappiness and discomfort behind her.

The two found a secluded corner near the beach, then began gathering firewood, starting a fire, and using a stone platform to boil seawater in a clay pot.

"Let's rest first," Lu Wuyai said to Su Xi.

At this point, the five earthenware jars on the stone platform began to boil, and the next step was to wait for the salt to begin to crystallize.

Su Xi nodded, feeling like she had been squatting for a long time, so she stood up and stretched. As a result, her ill-fitting shirt made a sharp, snapping sound, and two buttons on her chest instantly flew off, revealing a deep cleavage.

Lu Wuyai glanced at it subconsciously, then quickly turned his head away.

Su Xi awkwardly covered her chest; her shirt was ripped.

"It's alright, turn your head away." Su Xi said, "That's better."

Lu Wuyai licked his lips, took a breath, and when he turned around, he found that Su Xi had indeed straightened his shirt.

However, the first two buttons on her chest were completely blown away by the wind. No matter how Tang Xin tried to cover herself, that glimpse of her skin was always exposed to the air, making Lu Wuyai want to take another look.

Lu Wuyai was afraid that he would prick his eyes with the needle, so he could only move his head again, looking at the blue sea, and gradually calm his restless heart.

At this point, Su Xi smiled happily as she watched Lu Wuyai's actions. She also gazed at the sea, her eyes gradually becoming more lost in thought.

"Do you have a dream? Can you tell me about your dream?" Su Xi suddenly asked Lu Wuyai.

“Dream on.” Lu Wuyai was somewhat surprised, but after thinking carefully for a while, he said, “Before boarding the plane, my dream was to reach the pinnacle of life.”

Su Xi's eyes widened in surprise, but she quickly smiled. This is probably the dream of many college students—to one day become a successful person in the eyes of others.

"And then what happens after you board the plane?" Su Xi asked again.

Lu Wuyai glanced at her, his voice suddenly becoming hoarse.

"From the moment I boarded the plane until I was stranded on the desert island, my dream was, of course, to survive."

Having hovered near death several times, how could I not cherish my life?

"Just like when you pushed me into the sea, I can understand how you felt back then."

Looking at the sea, Lu Wuyai recalled the despair he felt while in the water. This was truly the darkest moment of his life so far.

Su Xi lowered her head and said nothing. She looked at Lu Wuyai for a long time, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Can you forgive me?"

Can we start over?

Lu Wuyai also stared at Su Xi and sighed. Thinking about Su Xi's every move during this time, he felt a suppressed impulse.

Perhaps there is a devil lurking deep inside, which will appear at the right time.

“Su Xi.” Lu Wuyai reached out and touched Su Xi’s cheek, his impulse making him blurt out.

"Let's make peace."

Upon hearing this voice, Su Xi suddenly looked up at Lu Wuyai. She covered her mouth with her hand, and the tears that had been welling up in her eyes finally fell uncontrollably.

"Very good." A sobbing voice came out, and Su Xi knelt on the ground. The sunlight shone on her, as if washing away her past sins.

Lu Wuyai's own words of reconciliation finally broke the shackles in Su Xi's heart.

At this moment, looking at Su Xi, Lu Wuyai felt that she had been reborn and had become even more beautiful than before.

Lu Wuyai's gaze fell upon the snow-covered peaks, and he felt his breathing quicken. Su Xi noticed his gaze, but instead of looking away, she lifted herself up and hugged Lu Wuyai.

"Thank you, my ex-boyfriend."

Upon hearing these words, Lu Wuyai could no longer control himself. He suddenly tackled Su Xi to the ground, pressing his body heavily onto her delicate body.

Feeling the other person's beautifully curved figure, Lu Wuyai's eyes turned ferocious.

But seeing the panic in Tang Xin's eyes, he suppressed his animalistic instincts and stood up from the beach.

"Don't tempt me." Lu Wuyai swallowed hard, feeling a sharp pain in his Adam's apple.

Su Xi pursed her lips, hugged her knees, and sat to the side, feeling somewhat uneasy.

After that, they both fell silent. One left, and the other sat on the beach, quietly watching the seawater in the earthenware jar evaporate, forming large amounts of coarse salt crystals.

By 2 p.m., they had obtained a total of three cans of salt.

Su Xi said, "You can go back now."

Lu Wuyai checked the time and nodded. If he set off now, he could reach the dangerous summit before dusk.

Soon, the two packed their things and were about to leave when a clear argument suddenly caught their attention.

"Let's go take a look." Lu Wuyai looked at Su Xi.

Tang Xin nodded, his eyes filled with curiosity.

They knew there were other survivors on the desert island. They appeared on the beach at this time, but they didn't know who they might be.

But soon, through the bushes, they spotted a familiar face: Kim Seok-rok.

Not only her, but there was also a strange man beside her. They were speaking loudly. Unfortunately, they were communicating in their own language, which Lu Wuyai and Su Xi couldn't understand at all.

But just then, the man suddenly slapped Jin Xilu across the face and then tore at Jin Xilu's clothes. The whole process was quite astonishing, once again unleashing Lu Wuyai's suppressed bestial nature.

"Don't look." Su Xi suddenly became jealous. She hadn't expected Jin Xilu to have such a great figure.

"Let's go." Su Xi's face turned red; she didn't want to stay here.

But to their utter surprise, just as Lu Wuyai and Su Xi were about to leave, a man's scream startled them both.

The moment the scream occurred, a faint smell of blood immediately filled the air.

From the bushes, Lu Wuyai gaped, craning his neck to look ahead. He saw the man lying on the ground clutching his lower body, blood flowing continuously, looking as if he was about to die.

On the other side of the grass, Jin Xilu, covered in blood, quickly stood up and straightened her clothes. Her eyes were cold, and she held a curved knife in her hand, staring at the man who had murderous intent.

Lu Wuyai and Su Xi exchanged bewildered glances. They hadn't expected Jin Xilu to be such a good actress. She had almost seriously injured this man at the most crucial moment.

Even if the other person doesn't die, there's no guarantee that happiness in this life will be much of a joy.

At that moment, Lu Wuyai observed three seconds of silence for this person.

In the next second, Jin Xilu suddenly lunged at the man, her curved knife plunging into his neck. Blood gushed from his artery like a fountain, spreading throughout the space.

"Damn it." Lu Wuyai couldn't help but curse.

"Who is it?" Jin Xilu suddenly glanced into the bushes and threw the scimitar in her hand over.

Lu Wuyai was stunned on the spot, mainly because Jin Xilu was too fast. Although he saw the curved blade attacking him, his dodging movements were still in his mind.

The next second, Lu Wuyai fell heavily to the ground.

"Su Xi".

He quickly stood up. Su Xi had pushed him, and he had dodged the curved blade.

On the ground, Su Xi's face was contorted in pain, and she clutched her arm with her other hand. Blood seeped from between her fingers, quickly soaking her shirt.

However, Lu Wuyai breathed a sigh of relief. Su Xi's skin had only been cut by a sharp weapon. She shouldn't be in mortal danger. The scimitar wasn't rusty, and there shouldn't be any aftereffects after healing.

"Jin Xilu, you must be sick."

Lu Wuyai glanced back at Jin Xilu, who was walking towards him, and noticed that the woman's demeanor had changed drastically. Before, she gave off a delicate and fragile impression, but now she looked more like a mother leopard preparing to hunt her prey in the forest.

Lu Wuyai pulled a pistol from his pocket and gestured for Jin Xilu not to come closer.

Jin Xilu stood in the grass, her body covered in her ex-husband's blood.

Lu Wuyai helped Su Xi up and looked at the person opposite him with cold eyes.

As a result, Lu Wuyai saw Jin Xilu suddenly collapse to the ground and not get up for a long time.

“Let’s go take a look over there.” Su Xi frowned. The wound on his arm had been bandaged with a rag. There wasn’t a big problem for the time being.

Lu Wuyai nodded, walked to Jin Xilu's side, and gently touched him with his toe, only to find that the other party did not react.

Afterwards, Su Xi examined Jin Xilu's body and found no wounds, guessing that he might have fainted.

"Drag her to the beach first." Lu Wuyai put down the bucket and salt shaker, dragged himself, and placed Jin Xilu on the sand.

But during the delay, Kim Seok-rok woke up.

The moment Jin Xilu opened her eyes and saw Lu Wuyai, she felt a little scared. She subconsciously touched her waist and found that her scimitar was gone.

At this moment, Lu Wuyai and Su Xi saw that Jin Xilu had woken up and decided to leave.

After all, they had been delayed by another half hour. They had to get back to the treacherous peak before dark, or things would get even more complicated.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Jin Xilu stood on the beach, watching Lu Wuyai and Tang Xin disappear into the depths of the forest. Her beautiful eyes looked particularly lost.

Walking through the woods they had come from, the relationship between Su Xi and Lu Wuyai underwent another subtle change.

Remembering how he had almost been hit by the cleaver, Lu Wuyai said thank you.

"You're welcome." Su Xi smiled slightly and said, "If it were you, you would definitely save me, wouldn't you?"

Lu Wuyai blinked, then a slight smile appeared on his lips. This sight made Su Xi's smile deepen.

After walking a few steps, Su Xi came to Lu Wuyai's side, as if she had gathered enough courage.

"Be my boyfriend."

Su Xi grabbed Lu Wuyai's hand, and the latter instinctively tried to break free.

But Su Xi was gripping too tightly, and Lu Wuyai felt pain in his wrist. He lowered his head slightly and saw Su Xi's eyes, eyes full of expectation.

Lu Wuyai took a deep breath, looking at Su Xi's ruined shirt. An endless allure shone from the abyss.

His thoughts were momentarily confused, and Lu Wuyai almost nodded.

The next second, Su Xi threw herself into Lu Wuyai's arms, and both of them were in tears.

Looking at Su Xi, whose face was flushed and whose delicate body trembled slightly in his arms, Lu Wuyai reached out and, through the constraints of his shirt, finally climbed the snow-capped peak he had longed for.

The next second, Su Xi closed her eyes slightly and whispered in Lu Wuyai's ear.

"I don't want to get pregnant, the rest is up to you."

These words were like sparks falling on a pile of dry tinder, instantly igniting Lu Wuyai.

Grove

The setting sun shone through the vegetation and fell on a green grassland.

After a moment of excitement, Lu Wuyai embraced Su Xi, and the extreme joy made him completely infatuated with this body.

Tang Xinxiang was covered in sweat, curled up in Lu Wuyai's arms, her head resting on another person's arm. She was as docile as a Persian cat, her large, watery eyes full of charm.

The two embraced tightly, their bodies soaked with sweat.

"Will you despise me?" Su Xi asked, her eyes filled with both expectation and worry. After all, she wasn't a virgin. In order to survive on the deserted island, she had still willingly given herself to Liu Gongming.

The only saving grace was that she didn't become a plaything.

Lu Wuyai gently touched the plump lump, indicating that he didn't care.

Su Xi breathed a sigh of relief. After all, she was still a person with moral principles, and some things could never be lost.

Slowly, Su Xi breathed a sigh of relief, her face flushed red, because Lu Wuyai was causing trouble again.

"No, I've done it several times."

"Let's try again. It's too late now anyway, and we can't get back to the peak before dark."

"Then let's get started."

"It can't be done quickly."

"Relax, be gentle."

Later, a series of strong breathing sounds made the twilight seem particularly vivid.

As darkness fell, a campfire was lit in the forest. The two men stood close together, whispering to each other.

This night was destined to be unforgettable.

The next morning, Lu Wuyai looked at Su Xi, who was limping, and smiled.

"It's your fault." Su Xi spat on the ground, secretly cursing Lu Wuyai as a beast. He had been up to her for most of the night, and she had no strength left.

Su Xi blushed again as she thought about the unprecedented feeling of harmonious coexistence.

"Go back, and please restrain yourself a little more," Su Xi reminded him.

"Hehe, I know." Lu Wuyai grabbed his head, helped Tang Xin up, and continued rushing towards the dangerous mountain peak.

At eleven o'clock, the two finally saw the precipitous peak. The reason they were so late was entirely to erase any trace of their arrival.

Along the way, Lu Wuyai felt refreshed. Looking at Su Xi, he once again realized that the deserted island wasn't as difficult to traverse as he had imagined.

"Lu Wuyai, look at the sky." Su Xi pointed to the sky.

Lu Wuyai looked up and realized that he didn't know when it had started. Dark clouds rolled overhead, and a storm could break at any moment.

"It's going to rain heavily," Su Xi said.

Lu Wuyai nodded, a serious expression on his face.

Because every time it rains heavily on the deserted island, it's almost always accompanied by a typhoon. There's a terrace at the foot of the steep peak, but it can't stop the typhoon from raging.

The passageway through the treacherous peaks is also direct, completely avoiding the howling of the typhoon.

"Let's go find Song Xiaoyou and Anna first."

Soon, they found two people packing equipment at the station.

Seeing Lu Wuyai and Su Xi return safely, Song Xiaoyou was clearly relieved. She hugged Su Xi and noticed some red marks on her neck, so she asked her if she had a rash.

"Ah, yes." Su Xi blushed. The red hickey was clearly left by someone last night.

Anna, standing to the side, seemed lost in thought, her gaze shifting between Lu Wuyai and Su Xi.

Lu Wuyai looked around awkwardly and realized that a strong wind had just started blowing down from the precipitous peak.

“How about going to the cave? It takes about three hours to get there from here,” Lu Wuyai said.

The wind has picked up now; we should be able to reach the cave in three hours without any problem.

After thinking for a while, everyone nodded in agreement. After all, there was really no way to avoid the typhoon or the rain at the foot of the dangerous peak.

Soon, everyone packed their things and immediately walked down the gentle slope.
