Chapter 12: Keeping Each Other Warm
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Qiao Yuran was fascinated after listening to Tong Wei. “How wonderful! Your parents must love you very much. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have let you marry a rich man!”
Chang Yuan interrupted, “What do you know? Money doesn’t make a man!”
Qiao Yuran pouted and looked unconvinced, “How can you buy a bag for your wife if you don’t have money? You can’t just buy a hundred-dollar cheap bag for your wife, right? It’s too shabby!”
Chang Yuan was stunned after he heard that. A few hundred dollars was shabby? A hundred dollar was his monthly food expenses.
Forget it. He better kept quiet. These women lived in luxurious lives that he could not afford.
“My parents are pricks. They force me to practice dancing every day, force me to wear some very uncomfortable clothes, and even force me to have dinner with those strangers!”
“I don’t have any privacy at all. Even when I go to the toilet or take a shower, there will be people secretly taking pictures of me. Some of them were arranged by my parents on purpose. It’s all for the media exposure!”
“I’ve been tired of that kind of life for a long time. I don’t want to be a star. This kind of free and unfettered life is what I want!”
As Qiao Yuran spoke, she unconsciously held Chang Yuan’s arm.
Chang Yuan was complaining about Qiao Yuran in his heart, “D*mn it, if my parents had trained me to be a celebrity, I would have long been worshipped by tons of fans. What a pity.”
The three of them chatted and laughed. However, Zhuo Qianqian did not participate at all. She just stood at the side in a daze, staring at the storm outside. fr𝚎e𝙬𝚎𝚋𝚗૦ν𝚎𝒍.c૦m
Tong Wei could not help but ask, “Qianqian, you should also share your story with everyone. After all, we are a team now, and we will live together in the future!”
Zhuo Qianqian turned her head and glanced at Chang Yuan. “Live together? A team? Forget it, I’d better wait for the rescue!”
Chang Yuan was angered by Zhuo Qianqian’s rude attitude. He questioned her, “Do you think you’re outstanding and better than us? Why the long face? Why didn’t you complain when you were eating the rabbit meat just now!”
Chang Yuan’s displeasure made Zhuo Qianqian even more angry.
When Tong Wei and Qiao Yuran saw the two of them started to fight again, they wanted to stop them. However, Zhuo Qianqian seemed to have been triggered. She turned around and retorted, “I’m outstanding? That’s right, I’m indeed outstanding, but for what? I can’t even decide who I’m going to marry! I am just my family’s bargaining chip. They’re just using me and…”
Zhuo Qianqian suddenly stopped. She didn’t want to continue.
She glared at Chang Yuan fiercely. “Even if I’m going to marry as a bargaining chip, it’s still better than marrying someone like you!”
Chang Yuan gave up arguing with her. 𝒇𝒓eewe𝒃𝑛𝒐𝘃𝒆𝚕.co𝘮
However, he did not vent his anger on Zhuo Qianqian. After hearing what she said just now, he felt that it was not easy for her to be the company’s chairwoman.
It seemed that everyone had their own troubles.
But now that they were all trapped on the island, those troubles did not matter anymore. Here, they only needed to survive every day.
The sky above the island was still dark. The thunderstorms didn’t stop, and the thunder kept roaring for the night. They didn’t know it was daytime or nighttime because they had no way to tell the time.
The four people in the cave fell asleep beside the gradually weakening bonfire.
Although they slept in the cave together, Chang Yuan intentionally slept on the other side, keeping a distance from the three women.
However, as the bonfire became smaller and smaller, the temperature also became lower. Feeling cold, they unconsciously moved closer to each other to keep each other warm.
Zhuo Qianqian, who was on the outermost side, touched Chang Yuan’s arm and felt a trace of warmth. Then, she immediately pulled Chang Yuan’s body over like a blanket.
Chang Yuan was suddenly startled awake and thought to himself, “Why is this woman so strong?”.
However, the Zhuo Qianqian’s body was wrapped around him. Her thighs were placed on his waist, and her breast was tightly pressed against his head. Chang Yuan could smell a faint of fragrance, he felt extremely delighted.
However, his body was indeed suffering, and he did not dare to move recklessly.
Qiao Yuran, who was sandwiched between Zhuo Qianqian and Tong Wei, liked to move a lot when she was sleeping. She swung her arm and slapped Zhuo Qianqian’s face.
Chang Yuan saw the slap landed solidly on Zhuo Qianqian’s face and cursed in his heart. By the time he wanted to get up, it was already too late.
Zhuo Qianqian was woken up by the slap. Then, Zhuo Qianqian’s eyes widened, and she cried out in shock.
“Ah!!! Stinky hooligan!!!”
Realizing that she was actually in Chang Yuan’s arms, she subconsciously kicked Chang Yuan’s stomach.
Chang Yuan rolled three times and only stopped when he hit the wall.
“Sh*t!” Chang Yuan cursed in his heart, “I was kind enough to keep you warm, but you repay my kindness with enmity. Forget it, I’m not a person who likes to fuss.”
Chang Yuan held his stomach. He thought to himself that it was fortunate that this woman kicked him in the stomach.
If it was an inch lower, he would fight with her even if he had to risk his life.
Zhuo Qianqian shouted angrily, waking up the two women beside her. “Aren’t you guys going to rest? You two are really a pair of enemies. It’s already midnight, and you’re still fighting!”
Zhuo Qianqian sat up, clutching her collar and tightly holding the stick that she had prepared in the morning.
She pointed the stick at Chang Yuan’s head. The meaning of her gaze was very clear, “If you dare to come closer, I’ll beat you to death!”
The two people on the side looked at Chang Yuan and Zhuo Qianqian in confusion. They still did not understand what had happened and were about to ask.
Then, Chang Yuan suddenly made a hissing gesture.
He signaled the three of them not to speak.
Zhuo Qianqian was furious. She thought that Chang Yuan had done something bad and would not let anyone speak. She took the stick and wanted to poke Chang Yuan.
But at this moment, they heard footsteps and voices coming from outside the cave.
The three women trembled and tensed up. They looked out of the cave through the gaps in the wooden railings.
The heavy rain outside the cave was still ongoing. Under the flash of lightning, Chang Yuan could see the scene outside clearly through the gaps.
There were seven people, three women and four men.
Two of the men were middle-aged, two of the men were young adults, and there was an old auntie and two girls.
“What should we do? They are coming to us!” Qiao Yuran said anxiously, “This place was found by us. If they come in, they would definitely fight with us for it.”
Even Qiao Yuran, a big star who did not have to worry about food and clothing, had already realized that accommodation and food were extremely important to their survival on this desolate wilderness.
One more person meant less food.
And without food, they would be dead.
“Don’t be nervous, they will definitely come in to take shelter from the rain. Follow my hand signal later. If they want to do something bad, then we will fight back!” Chang Yuan narrowed his eyes and told the three women solemnly..
