Chapter 275: Three People Sleeping Together?

Chapter 275: Chapter 275: Three People Sleeping Together?

On Evil Island, there was a peacefulness.

The rain had stopped, but humidity still lingered.

A full moon hung high, ensuring the night was not dark.

The pursuers had been killed off, and there shouldn’t be any new ones for a while.

Lin Fan stretched lazily, looking towards the distant tents.

"Do you really want to sleep with me?"

"What, if I, a woman, am not afraid, would you be?"

Xu Zhi Rou pouted her lips.

The daring and decisive her always acted carefree.

"Afraid not, but I built this shelter for two people."

Lin Fan rubbed his nose.

"Isn’t two just enough for you and me to sleep?"

Xu Zhi Rou huffed.

Could this guy have foreseen that she would come?

"If we sleep, where does my wife sleep?"

Lin Fan looked at Xu Zhi Rou with a smile.

At that statement, she was suddenly stunned.

"You have a wife... You’re married?"

"For a normal man, getting married isn’t such a big deal!"

Lin Fan rolled his eyes at her.

"How can you be married... You scumbag... getting married and still going on blind dates!"

This unexpected news suddenly made Xu Zhi Rou freeze.

Wasn’t he the blind date her father had arranged for her?

How come he’s already married?

"When did I ever go on a blind date? Don’t talk nonsense."

Lin Fan rolled his eyes again at Xu Zhi Rou’s illogical words.

However, he had probably already guessed the whole story.

Obviously, Prince Zhen Nan, Mr. Wang, intended to recruit him as a son-in-law.

"You..."

Xu Zhi Rou suddenly found herself at a loss for words.

Not sure what to say.

Meanwhile, Lin Fan turned on a flashlight and returned to the front of the shelter.

Calling out gently inside.

"Wife, come out and eat."

"You’re finally back!"

Upon hearing Lin Fan’s voice,

Ning Mengyao couldn’t wait to crawl out.

She immediately grabbed onto his shoulder.

The time Lin Fan was away felt like years to her.

She had wanted to come out and find him numerous times.

But in the end, she lacked the courage.

"Wife, let’s show affection later; we have a guest."

Lin Fan patted Ning Mengyao on the back with a smile.

At these words, she paused.

Instinctively turning her head, only then did she see Xu Zhi Rou standing a few meters away, holding a flashlight.

"Guest... she... who is she?"

She didn’t expect there to be anyone else on this deserted island.

Ning Mengyao instinctively hid behind Lin Fan.

Looking around fearfully.

"To be precise, she’s my prey, but also the daughter of an old squad leader of mine."

Lin Fan said with a smile, handing over the compressed biscuits to Ning Mengyao: "Have something to fill your stomach first, I’ll explain slowly."

"Have you eaten?"

Ning Mengyao, hungry, on receiving the biscuits,

didn’t start eating immediately but looked at Lin Fan.

In the eyes of Xu Zhi Rou,

they looked incredibly affectionate.

"I’m not hungry yet, you eat first, don’t worry, although there’s not much this time, it’s enough to last us a few days."

Lin Fan said, patting the backpack they had seized.

The supplies on the six people weren’t much,

but definitely enough for three people to live on.

"Okay!"

Upon hearing this, Ning Mengyao then tore open the packaging.

They started to eat and drink vigorously.

At the same time, Lin Fan generally recounted the events.

Of course, he omitted the fact that Xu Zhi Rou was Prince Zhen Nan’s daughter.

After all, military bigwigs like that had quite intimidating status.

"So you’re from the Guard Corps, huh? Truly, a heroine who yields to no man, you are the pride of us women."

Upon learning that Xu Zhi Rou was actually from the Guard Corps,

Ning Mengyao immediately shot her an envious look.

"There’s nothing to be proud of, I’m just a defeated general,"

Xu Zhi Rou suddenly said with a sad face.

The fate of the brothers she led was uncertain.

As a commander, she felt greatly responsible.

"Victory and defeat are common in military affairs; one shouldn’t be deemed a hero based solely on outcomes,"

Ning Mengyao hurried forward to comfort her.

It must be said, as a CEO, she had a way with words.

A few sentences were all it took for Xu Zhi Rou to regain her confidence.

"Alright, it’s getting late, we should rest up quickly. We’ve got to hit the road tomorrow, and since we’ve taken out a squad, I fear the enemy will surely send additional forces to besiege us. This island may be quite large, but with so many people, it’ll be hard to avoid detection."

He added some more fuel to the smokeless stove.

Lin Fan then spread the clothes he had stripped off on the grass.

"You two get some rest inside, I’ll be fine out here."

Looking at the not-so-large shelter, Xu Zhi Rou immediately refused.

After all, they were a couple.

It would be too strange for her, a prospective match, to sleep together with him.

"How can that be okay? Your health is the capital of revolution. It’s too cold outside, and you might catch a cold, which isn’t good. Besides, the snake venom hasn’t completely cleared from your system, and you might get a fever. It’s better if you come inside and sleep together, squeezing in a little is no big issue."

Ning Mengyao quickly pulled Xu Zhi Rou and squeezed into the shelter with her.

As for Lin Fan, of course, he had to squeeze in as well.

And so, within the tiny shelter,

Three people were packed together.

Ning Mengyao slept in the middle, leaning as close as possible into Lin Fan’s embrace.

Although it was awkward, they managed to fall asleep.

Xu Zhi Rou, having been in intense battles for several days, felt embarrassed as well,

but her weakened body soon succumbed to sleep.

"Why do I feel like Zhi Rou’s attitude towards you is a bit strange?"

Ning Mengyao rested on Lin Fan’s arm,

her small body tightly held by him.

The sleepless her whispered softly in Lin Fan’s ear.

"Maybe it’s because I haven’t agreed to rescue her comrades."

Lin Fan smiled.

He hadn’t expected this honeymoon trip to include a third wheel.

Now, there was nothing he could do about it.

"Is it because of me?"

Ning Mengyao instantly realized.

It seemed like she was the one holding Lin Fan back,

which is why he chose to stand by and watch.

"Not entirely, with the enemy surely casting a wide net at this time, waiting for her to walk right into it, the best decision is to remain unchanged in response to all changes. The longer we can drag this out, the more anxious they become. That’s when the best time to attack will come."

Lin Fan had his own judgment.

Now, in a disadvantaged situation, he knew how to find opportunities.

To strike the strong while being weak, one had to seize the right moment.

If you can’t deliver a deadly blow, then it’s better to stay put and play it safe.

"But what if the person taken was me, would you still remain this calm?"

Ning Mengyao’s question made Lin Fan pause for a moment.

One can only remain coldly detached when it’s someone else’s problem.

If the target were someone close to him,

he might well make the same choice as Xu Zhi Rou.

"Let’s sleep for now, there will always be a way when we get to the mountain, we’ll talk about tomorrow’s matters tomorrow. The most important thing right now is to take care of your health, didn’t you also say that health is the capital of revolution?"

After Lin Fan urged her, Ning Mengyao finally closed her eyes.

However, her hand that was holding on tightly did not relax in the slightest.

As for Lin Fan, although his eyes were closed,

he did not fall asleep right away.

Because his heart was also fiercely struggling.

Should he intervene in this troublesome affair, or not?
