My Co-renting Lady Boss
Chapter 1768 - 1767: Brought It on Himself
"I should be asking you, what were you two doing in the woods last night? Why was there such a commotion?"
Mu Zixin glared discontentedly at Li Xiaoli.
"We... oh dear."
Li Xiaoli opened her mouth, quickly checked her body, and then looked puzzled, "I think Tang Ming and I were about to get intimate, but I lost consciousness at the crucial moment. Where’s Tang Ming?"
"I’m right here!"
Tang Ming squatted by the fire with a miserable expression. Thinking back to last night, his heart felt cold and sad. He had planned to steal a kiss, but ended up getting beaten like a dog.
"Oh my, how did you end up like that? What happened?"
Seeing Tang Ming’s bruised and swollen face, Li Xiaoli exclaimed in surprise.
"I, I fell by myself."
Tang Ming almost burst into tears, knowing that Li Xiaoli must not remember anything. There was no way he could explain such things!
"Heh, you two really played hard, to end up like that."
Mu Zixin gave a cold smile.
"These things naturally take a lot of energy, don’t you know it well?"
Tang Ming gave Mu Zixin an odd look.
"What do you mean?"
Mu Zixin’s face changed slightly, feeling guilty and wondering if Tang Ming already knew. It shouldn’t be!
"Breakfast, breakfast. After breakfast, let’s go to the beach and set up a tent as our place to relax during the day."
Tang Ming groaned lifelessly, not bothering to argue with the two women.
Li Xiaoli was utterly confused, having no memory of what happened yesterday, and couldn’t understand how she could have beaten Tang Ming like that. However, she didn’t feel any physical abnormalities, so she knew that she and Tang Ming hadn’t successfully "driven the car," which left her feeling crestfallen.
After breakfast, Tang Ming went alone to the beach nearby to set up the tent. Being stranded on the deserted island, whether they could leave depended on fate. All he could do was try to make the three of them comfortable while waiting.
Mu Zixin and Li Xiaoli played on the beach, each holding a coconut, stripped down to just bras and panties. Though not bikinis, there wasn’t much difference.
"These two girls really treat this as a vacation, but they sure are a sight for sore eyes!"
Whenever Tang Ming got tired of working, he’d glance over, and immediately feel invigorated, just watching those few balls bouncing in the air made his blood boil.
Suddenly, he felt that life was pretty great, even in such circumstances. Despite the crash, he had companions, and two beautiful ones at that. Not bad at all!
Over time, Tang Ming’s desire to return grew stronger. With the plane crash, who knew what had happened to Liu Mengting and the others?
Although he wanted to leave, after staying on the island for so long and not seeing any passing ships, Tang Ming felt quite helpless.
The location was unknown, and the island was likely not even on a map, making it extremely difficult to get out or be found. Worrying was futile.
Soon, he finished setting up the tent, a simple one meant to provide shade, big enough for the three of them to lie in and enjoy the sea waves, sunlight, and beach.
On reaching the beach, he saw Li Xiaoli completely buried in the sand and ran over to lie down beside her.
"Comfortable?"
Tang Ming asked curiously.
"Not bad. Tang Ming, how’s your injury? Did we do it last night or not?"
Li Xiaoli glanced at Mu Zixin and whispered to Tang Ming.
"I didn’t do anything and ended up like this."
Tang Ming sighed, mischievously looking at Li Xiaoli, "Want me to give you a massage?"
"Sure, sure. I’ll give you one later too."
The sand on the beach was soft, just like fine white salt, making it comfortable to lie on.
Tang Ming rubbed Li Xiaoli’s back, and as he did, they both remembered the thunderous sparks from last night.
Tang Ming unknowingly leaned in to kiss Li Xiaoli’s neck.
Li Xiaoli responded actively, thinking there was nothing to worry about after what had happened last night.
Mu Zixin became a mere spectator, watching Tang Ming and Li Xiaoli kissing intimately while she felt like an outsider, so angry that her eyes nearly sparked with fire.
She knew she was just an outsider in Tang Ming’s eyes but couldn’t figure out why she felt a bit empty inside: "Hey, you two really think I’m air!"
Seeing Tang Ming and Li Xiaoli getting more excessive, Mu Zixin couldn’t hold back any longer.
"Cough, cough, cough."
Only then did Li Xiaoli and Tang Ming remember that Mu Zixin was nearby, quickly stopping their actions and focusing on enjoying the sunshine.
After eating and drinking their fill with nothing to do, the three of them simply lay in the tent and fell asleep.
The tent wasn’t big, only about two to three square meters, which felt a bit cramped for three people to sleep in. But since it was a place for relaxation, having their bodies exposed to the sun was quite comfortable.
Tang Ming used his clothes as a mat on the grass, while Li Xiaoli and Mu Zixin’s clothes were hung around. The sun was shining brightly, and a gentle breeze brushed against them, making them feel both lazy and relaxed.
Initially, Tang Ming was sleeping while holding Li Xiaoli, but slowly Mu Zixin squeezed in too, wearing only a bra, sticking closely to Tang Ming’s back...
The three of them slept lazily until the afternoon, feeling as if all their exhaustion from the past few days had been wiped away, fully recharged.
Tang Ming was the first to wake up and, finding himself embraced from both sides, instinctively looked behind and found himself face-to-face with Mu Zixin’s wide eyes.
Both were completely stunned, mainly because Mu Zixin didn’t seem inclined to let go.
Then, she closed her eyes again.
Pretending to sleep?
At this moment, Tang Ming didn’t know whether to move or stay still.
He couldn’t understand why Mu Zixin suddenly became a bit cunning and sneaky. First, she stealthily approached him, then repeatedly disrupted his further interactions with Li Xiaoli. In short, she seemed a bit different from before, more mischievous.
Li Xiaoli still hadn’t woken up. After waiting a while, Tang Ming gently withdrew his hand from Mu Zixin. Not that he didn’t want to sleep, but he had work to do today. With the temperature just right, he needed to head into the sea and get some food, otherwise, they’d be going hungry.
After Tang Ming left, both Li Xiaoli and Mu Zixin woke up. Li Xiaoli glanced at Mu Zixin and then said, "How does it feel to cuddle with Tang Ming? Isn’t it much better than sleeping alone?"
There seemed to be a hint of accusation in her tone, or perhaps a bit of teasing.
Mu Zixin frowned slightly, "Are you always shameless like this?"
Mu Zixin replied calmly, not blushing or getting angry from Li Xiaoli’s words.
"It’s okay. I’ve always been like this, and it’s rather rare that my relationship with Tang Ming is becoming clearer. Could you not ruin my good thing?"
Li Xiaoli looked at Mu Zixin discontentedly, "Also, you’ve changed a lot."
