Chapter 92: How Could She Like It!

No, it should not be like this.

Looking at her own hand hanging in the air, trembling faintly, Chu Lingshuang finally let shock break through the cold, haughty expression she had always worn.

She stared in bewilderment at her palm, then glanced sideways at Lin Feng’s image on the screen.

Could it be...

Could it be that she had fallen for him?

No.

Impossible.

How could she possibly like anyone?

In her world, there had never been anything worthy of her attention. Anything that matched her, anything she desired, was nothing more than an equal exchange of interests.

She could not possibly like him. The word had never even existed in her vocabulary.

Once she had sorted out her own logic, Chu Lingshuang drew in several deep breaths. After a few rounds, her emotions finally settled.

He was only wiping the corner of his mouth... she comforted herself inwardly, though she failed to notice how tightly her back teeth had clenched.

Next time, she would do the same.

Very good. She had learned a move. From now on, she would help him wipe it “properly.”

Yet the sight of Chu Yunran’s sweet smile only made her increasingly irritated.

That hand, which had kept moving after wiping Lin Feng’s mouth, was making her angrier by the second.

It was like a fly buzzing in her face, and she had reached her limit.

Damn it.

She could not stand it anymore.

Her gaze gradually turned fierce. She grabbed her phone, pressed the voice button, and gritted out an order to Qin Xue: “I don’t care what method you use. Tell Chu Yunran right now that if she dares touch what belongs to me again, I’ll make sure she pays for it.”

On the other end of the phone, Qin Xue trembled uncontrollably as she listened.

What was playing back from the phone was Chu Lingshuang’s blazing fury.

It was over. Completely over.

Near tears, she snatched up her phone and hurriedly sent Zheng Bochao a message, telling him to have Chu Yunran call her back as soon as possible, before the cameras caught anything.

...

The livestream comments were also scrolling furiously.

“Whoa, she even wiped his mouth for him...”

“Xiao Ran is so pretty, ahhh she’s so gentle!!!”

“How lucky is that factory guy? He deserves to die. Why wasn’t I the one on the show?”

“Because you’re not as handsome as him...”

“Seriously, is there even any need to vote? I think Xiao Ran already has someone in mind tonight, right?”

“Not necessarily. Maybe Xiao Ran is just throwing out smoke and mirrors. Let’s wait and see...”

On the island.

Lin Feng reflexively wiped the corner of his mouth and smiled. “Thanks, thanks.”

The smile in Xiao Ran’s eyes deepened a little. Resting her chin atop the plush teddy bear, she tilted her head and said sweetly, “Big brother, since you ate my noodles, you have to sleep with me tonight!”

In an instant, several waves of chill washed over Lin Feng, and he stared at Xiao Ran in stunned disbelief.

What the hell? Such a cute girl, and all she ever thinks about is sleeping with him?!

And it was not just him. Even the livestream comments were blown away.

“So direct?!”

“She, she means it? She’s going that hard right from the start?!”

“Damn! What kind of luck does he have to be picked by Xiao Ran...”

“Waaah, why am I not the one sleeping with Xiao Ran...”

At the scene, Xiao Ran’s words came through loud and clear, and both Miao Ruoyu and Gao Yaqin looked a little unhappy.

It was already obvious that Xiao Ran had them all dancing to her tune. They had been completely passive this whole time, and neither of them knew what to say.

Mar Yabin was the first to jump out and object. “Miss Xiao, why are you choosing him? He’s just some lousy wage earner...”

Beside him, Zhu Qiming stopped him, his own face equally disapproving. “Miss Xiao, the day isn’t even over yet, and it’s not time to choose people yet. We should settle the lodging first and figure out how we’re going to survive here in the days ahead...”

He had not even finished when Xiao Ran cut him off.

“What I sleep with has nothing to do with you!”

She barked the words out, irritation written all over her cute face. Then she tossed the lollipop to the ground and stomped it into a mess underfoot.

At once, the others fell silent.

Xiao Ran turned back around. The anger on her face vanished as though it had never existed, replaced once more by that sweet smile. “Brother, let’s stay together tonight, okay?”

The way she pouted made her look like she was deliberately acting cute. Paired with that lively, adorable face, she was simply a little enchantress, sweet enough to drive a man mad.

Lin Feng swallowed, then frowned.

Originally, he had expected these people to step in and stop her, but instead Xiao Ran had just scared them all back into silence?

No way. Was he really going to sleep with Xiao Ran tonight?

At that thought, Chu Lingshuang’s figure flashed through his mind.

Hiss.

No, that was wrong.

He was no longer at the Chu household. Chu Lingshuang had even said she would let him go. What was there to be afraid of?

Besides, Zheng Bochao had already said that if he agreed, he would pay more.

And wasn’t money exactly what he needed most right now?

As long as he endured these seven days, he could take the money, find some village to settle in, and live a carefree life like an idle hermit. How wonderful would that be?

With that in mind, under the stunned gazes of the crowd and the eager anticipation of the livestream audience, he nodded.

“Okay.”

The comments exploded even more.

“Nice!”

“Factory guy, you’re awesome!!!”

“He agreed, he agreed, the first pair is officially born!”

“Our factory guy really does have the protagonist’s halo, doesn’t he!”

“Lock it in, just lock it in!”

Meanwhile, at the scene, Zhu Qiming and the others had gone pale, especially the two other women.

Xiao Ran had chosen first, which meant they had to hurry as well.

Miao Ruoyu launched her move first. “Brother Zhu, let’s stay together tonight.”

Gao Yaqin refused to be left behind. “Then Brother He...”

Without any surprise, both of them were agreed to immediately.

Well, what else was there to say? If they did not get picked by Xiao Ran, at least there were other women, right?

So what if they had not landed Xiao Ran? As long as they did not end up the clown, that was enough.

Seeing the three pairs already formed, Mar Yabin immediately panicked.

“What about me?! You all went off pairing up, then what about me? Am I really going to be left alone on the island tonight?”

But the three groups were all busy getting acquainted with each other now. Who had time to bother with him?

Mar Yabin watched helplessly as they paired off one by one, and his teeth nearly ground to pieces from hatred.

He turned his anger directly on Lin Feng.

Just some lousy wage earner—what right did he have to fight him for a girl?

Seeing Lin Feng and Xiao Ran already walking shoulder to shoulder toward the shore, he lost his temper.

“Miss Xiao, sleep with me tonight! Once the show airs, I’ll have my dad invest in your performance!”

He rushed forward and grabbed Xiao Ran’s shoulder in agitation.

The next second, Xiao Ran turned her head. Her lips were pursed, tears shimmering in her bright, round eyes, and instead of answering him, she caught hold of Lin Feng’s arm and said pitifully, “Brother, you have to protect me. This big brother is so fierce—he’s pulling on my shoulder, and it hurts so much...”
