Chapter 963: Chapter 964: Who Should Feel Embarrassed?

Wu Xiaoya saw Miao Xuanxuan approaching and wanted to run away even more. However, her legs still lacked strength, and before she could get up, Miao Xuanxuan was already right in front of her.

This made Wu Xiaoya feel extremely awkward, to the point where she had an urge to find a hole to crawl into.

Miao Xuanxuan chuckled and said, "Xiaoya, why do you look as if you’ve done something bad?"

"No... no... I really wasn’t deliberately spying on you. Qingqing and I were just worried about you two, so we came to check on you," Wu Xiaoya explained with a flushed face, but the more she explained, the redder her face became.

Miao Xuanxuan helped Wu Xiaoya up and said, "Thanks for caring, let’s head up first. My husband is skilled in this area; he’ll take some time before he’s done fooling around."

Miao Xuanxuan directly brought up the subject, leaving Wu Xiaoya unsure how to respond. Her mind inadvertently wandered back to the blush-inducing scene between Song Xiaodong and Miao Xuanxuan earlier.

Miao Xuanxuan was lively and cheerful, never seeming inappropriate when chatting. Yet, during those moments earlier, she could strike such provocative poses... and even... Wu Xiaoya couldn’t believe that such things were something Miao Xuanxuan had done.

"Hey, judging by your expression... do you think I’m indecent?" Miao Xuanxuan instantly guessed what Wu Xiaoya was thinking.

"No... no..." Wu Xiaoya quickly denied, but her embarrassed face clearly betrayed her true thoughts.

Miao Xuanxuan pulled Wu Xiaoya along as they walked and said, "If you’re thinking like that, it just shows you haven’t slept with a man yet. Otherwise, you wouldn’t think like that."

"No way..." Wu Xiaoya stared at Miao Xuanxuan in surprise and said, "So sleeping with a man turns you... into this?"

Miao Xuanxuan shook her head and said, "Not necessarily. If the man you’re with is someone you truly love, you’d be willing to do anything for him. As long as it makes him happy, you’d gladly strike any pose. But if it’s not a man you love, you probably wouldn’t feel that way. Oh, and the most important thing is that your man needs to be strong enough. If he’s done in just a few moves, no matter how willing you might be, he wouldn’t have the ability to enjoy it."

"You... you’re so dirty." Wu Xiaoya’s face was beet red, but she couldn’t help feeling that Miao Xuanxuan’s words made sense.

"Trust me, once you have a man you truly love, you’ll understand what it feels like. Hey... what do you think of my husband?" Miao Xuanxuan asked as she winked at Wu Xiaoya.

Wu Xiaoya replied, "He... I think he’s good. He’s capable, treats you all well. Otherwise, how could such an outstanding pair of twins both stick by him?"

In front of Miao Xuanxuan, Wu Xiaoya couldn’t say anything negative about her husband. Besides, much of this was her genuine impression—Song Xiaodong was indeed a decent man.

Miao Xuanxuan laughed softly and then winked, saying, "Since you think my husband is good, why don’t you join us and become one of his women?"

Wu Xiaoya burst into laughter and said, "You really know how to joke. Your husband is yours; keep him for yourselves." She naturally treated it as just a playful comment between women, the kind of joke often shared among close girlfriends.

Miao Xuanxuan shrugged and said, "But what will you do if we never leave this place? Will you choose to stay with those men outside?"

Wu Xiaoya replied, "Impossible. Rescue efforts will only expand more and more; eventually, they’ll find this place."

"I mean hypothetically..."

Wu Xiaoya said, "Hypothetically... that scenario doesn’t hold water. Even if we really stayed here for a lifetime, I would never mix with those guys. They’re utterly detestable, and besides, I couldn’t compete with you two for a man. Worst-case, I’d live alone. You wouldn’t abandon me, right?"

Miao Xuanxuan smiled and said, "Alright, we’ll always take care of you. We definitely won’t let you end up with those shameless guys."

The two of them rested at the cave entrance for about twenty minutes before Song Xiaodong and Miao Qingqing returned together.

When Wu Xiaoya saw them, her face reddened slightly. Looking at Miao Qingqing’s radiant complexion—exquisitely beautiful—it was obvious she had been blissfully pampered.

This showed that Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan were wholly willing participants, and moreover, genuinely happy.

However, when Wu Xiaoya was with Song Xiaodong and the twins together, she couldn’t help but feel awkward, like a glaringly obvious third wheel.

Footsteps echoed suddenly, causing all three women’s expressions to change. Song Xiaodong said calmly, "Don’t worry, it’s fine."

Within a minute, Li Fangding, Cao Heyang, and two other men appeared in front of the group.

Li Fangding, hands behind his back, put on the demeanor of a grand leader visiting the people, wearing a kindly smile as he said, "For the past couple of days, we’ve been very busy down at the base of the mountain. We haven’t had a chance to check on you."

Song Xiaodong responded indifferently, "We’re doing fine here."

Li Fangding shook his head and said, "This island is so small. Living separately like this is extremely dangerous and also detrimental to rescue efforts. If you’re up here when rescuers arrive and we can’t reach you in time, wouldn’t you end up stranded here forever?"

Song Xiaodong replied, "Are you implying, Deputy Mayor Li, that if rescue comes, none of you would bother to mention that there are others on this island?"

Song Xiaodong’s remark immediately left Li Fangding fumbling, forcing him to laugh awkwardly and say, "Of course not! That was merely an example. Everyone here must unite and stick together. As men, it’s our duty to take care of the women. You’re just one man looking after three ladies—isn’t that inconvenient? I suggest you join us instead; that way, we can ensure your safety as well."

Miao Xuanxuan sneered and said, "I think the real danger would be sticking with you. Mayor Li, we see very clearly what you’ve been doing on the beach every day."

Li Fangding’s face darkened, his gaze turning sharp as he said, "So, you truly refuse to join us?"

"Exactly!" Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan answered defiantly in unison.

Cao Heyang immediately glared and said, "You’re asking for trouble, aren’t you? Do you understand that on this island, you have no right to speak for yourselves?"

Yesterday I got home past midnight and was too drained to write. Starting today, I’ll try to update more Chapters—no guarantees on how many.
