After playing beach volleyball, they had an alfresco seafood dinner by the sea, which was followed by freewheeling revelries, and not until they got exhausted did they return to their chalets separately .
As soon as Luo Xiaoxi went back to her chalet, she took a shower . After that, she walked out of the bathroom, refreshed . She threw herself down on the bed and took out her phone, wondering whether to turn it on or not .
In her eyes, when they were playing volleyball, Su Yicheng should have found that she had left . Then, was he looking for her?
She thought, “If Su Yicheng can’t find me, he will be very anxious, right?”
Realizing that she shouldn’t worry Su Yicheng, Luo Xiaoxi immediately turned on her phone, but she didn’t see any missed calls or a single text message .
“Huh? Is it because of the network delay on the island?”
She held her breath and waited for another five minutes, but she still received no messages .
“D*mn it, that’s impossible!”
Luo Xiaoxi couldn’t help but call Su Yicheng .
She had always taken the principle “if my enemies don’t move, I won’t; if they do, I will do better than them . ”
However, her call was left unanswered, and instead, she only heard a voice saying that the subscriber had powered off .
Luo Xiaoxi became angry instantly .
She thought, “I’m the one who should have turned off the phone! Why did Su Yicheng do that? It shouldn’t be like this!”
Luo Xiaoxi wasn’t the sort of person who would think too much . However, after roaring in her mind, she couldn’t help thinking that Su Yicheng might have had an accident .
Almost without hesitation, she rushed out of her chalet and went to knock at Su Jianan’s door .
Su Jianan had just finished washing her hair . She walked to the door while toweling her wet hair . She opened the door for Luo Xiaoxi and saw her anxious face . Su Jianan asked at once, “What’s up?”
“Su Yicheng…” Luo Xiaoxi grasped her phone and said incoherently, “Your brother’s phone was turned off . I… I’m worried . Did he have an accident? He rarely turns off his phone…”
“An accident?” Su Jianan shook her head and said, “It shouldn’t be like that . My brother called me when you were playing volleyball . He asked me if you were here with us . So, it’s likely that his phone… just ran out of battery . ”

“So, he knows that I’m here on the island, right?” Luo Xiaoxi asked gloomily, “And then, did he say anything else?”
Su Jianan shrugged and said, “He said nothing after that . ”
“… I see . ” Luo Xiaoxi said mopishly, “You should go to bed early . ”
She turned back to her chalet, and on the way she kept kicking the sand off the ground, depressed .
The fact was that, after being told that she was on the island—Su Yicheng turned off his phone!
Luo Xiaoxi thought, “D*mn! Doesn’t he want to know why I disappeared without a word? Doesn’t he care if I’m fine on the island?”
“Well, I could ignore that . Then why did he turn off his phone? Is he sulking because of me?”
She sneered and said to herself, “Nobody has a temper as bad as mine!”
Luo Xiaoxi kicked the door in, covered herself with the quilt and repeatedly swore that the next day she would go back to get even with Su Yicheng, then she sullenly fell asleep .
She had always slept like a log, so the noises of the helicopter landing in the distance didn’t wake her up at all .
However, if she knew who it was that got off the helicopter, maybe she wouldn’t be able to sleep that soundly—
Su Yicheng was in a suit he wore during the day, and he had loosened his tie . He frowned slightly and got off the helicopter . It was easy to tell that he had set out in a hurry .
Shen Yuechuan stood close by . He looked at him and said, “Finally, you’re here . Let’s go . I’ll take you to Xiaoxi’s place . ”
He had been waiting there for Su Yicheng as Lu Boyan asked . It should be that Su Yicheng had told Lu Boyan on the phone that he would arrive at night .
Su Yicheng kept up with Shen Yuechuan while asking, “Is Xiaoxi asleep?”
“I don’t know . ” Shen Yuechuan checked the time and said, “It’s late . She had too good of a time this afternoon . I’m sure she’s very tired now . ”
Su Yicheng frowned and asked, “What did she do in the afternoon?”
“She played beach volleyball, and then all kinds of games in the evening . ” With that, Shen Yuechuan suddenly felt confused, so he asked, “Didn’t you know that Xiaoxi was here?”

Su Yicheng said in a helpless and angry voice, “She came here without telling me . Was there anything wrong with her in the afternoon?”
“No . Not at all,” Shen Yuechuan shrugged and said, “She looked the same as usual . I thought you knew she was here . ”
With that, the two reached Luo Xiaoxi’s chalet . Shen Yuechuan pointed to it and said, “There she is . Go on inside . ”
“Thanks . ”
Su Yicheng slowly walked over to the chalet . From what it looked outside, he could tell that Luo Xiaoxi might have fallen asleep .
He gently pushed the door open, and as he guessed, it was quiet inside . There was a small lamp on the bedside table, the dim bulb of which cast a radiance over Luo Xiaoxi’s face .
It was cool at night on the island . Luo Xiaoxi was sleeping with the air conditioner on, while only her feet were covered . Su Yicheng walked over to draw the quilt for her, who was motionless without noticing that there was another person in her chalet .
Su Yicheng thought helplessly, “How dare she run around alone with such low vigilance?”
Luckily for her, she was on the island where there was nothing dangerous .
Su Yicheng went there in a hurry with only two changes of clothing . He walked into the bathroom to take a shower, and when he went out, he found that Luo Xiaoxi was still sleeping soundly .
It was late, and he was exhausted after a busy day . Thinking of Shen Yuechuan’s words “I’m sure she’s very tired”, he simply lay down beside Luo Xiaoxi quietly .
As for getting even with her, he preferred doing it after they both renewed their strength the next day .
Unexpectedly, as soon as he lay down, Luo Xiaoxi, who had been lying with her back to him, suddenly turned to face him and mumbled, “Su Yicheng…”
“Is she calling me?” Su Yicheng wondered .
“Huh?” Su Yicheng replied and looked at Luo Xiaoxi . He waited for a while but didn’t hear her say anything else . When he was about to give up, he suddenly heard her mumbling, “I miss you…”
“…” He thought, “You miss me, huh?”
Su Yicheng’s frowning face gradually became smooth . He couldn’t help smiling and unconsciously reached out to hold Luo Xiaoxi in his arms .
Luo Xiaoxi should be thankful for her somniloquy . Otherwise, regarding her leaving without telling him, he wouldn’t have let her off easily .

It seemed that Luo Xiaoxi had felt Su Yicheng, and she slept in his arms from midnight to dawn .
She had been living with Su Yicheng for a long time, accustomed to his breath as well as his face when she was awake every morning . That morning when she woke up, everything was just the same as she had long been accustomed to, so she didn’t notice anything abnormal .
In a daze, she leaned into her familiar arms, stretching out her own as usual . As expected, she felt the body she was familiar with, then she hugged it without hesitation .
She liked to hug Su Yicheng like that when sleeping . It made her comfortable and safe, and could satisfy her desire to possess him .
As Luo Xiaoxi was about to fall asleep again, there came the sounds of ocean waves from outside the window .
She wondered, “Why can I hear those sounds?”
After a while, Luo Xiaoxi suddenly remembered that she had gone to the island without telling Su Yicheng .
Since she was on the island, it was natural for her to hear the sounds of the waves . “Then… who’s that I’m holding?”
Luo Xiaoxi felt a chill on her back, and all of a sudden she was awake . She gasped hard, opening her eyes only to look into Su Yicheng’s smiling eyes .
Confused, she couldn’t tell whether it was real or not . She widened her eyes, reaching out to wave her hand in front of Su Yicheng and asked, “Are you real? Or am I in a dream?”
“Last night, I called Su Yicheng but he turned off his phone . Why is he lying beside me after waking up?” Luo Xiaoxi thought .
“D*mn! Is Su Yicheng able to teleport? Or is it my illusion?”
Su Yicheng grabbed Luo Xiaoxi’s hand and asked, “What do you think? Am I real or not?”
Luo Xiaoxi thought for a while, then she decisively pinched Su Yicheng’s face hard .
Su Yicheng frowned and said in a slightly angry voice, “Luo Xiaoxi!”
“It’s you . Really?” Luo Xiaoxi sat up at once, gazing at Su Yicheng and asked, “When did you come? Why didn’t you tell me?”
“Don’t you want me to come?” Instead of answering her, Su Yicheng asked, sounding neither glad nor angry .
“I don’t know . ” Luo Xiaoxi wasn’t worried about angering him . She smiled and said, “But I’m quite happy that you came here . ” With that, she kissed him on the cheek .
Su Yicheng didn’t fall for it at all . He decided to head straight to the point, and with a stony look he asked, “Why did you come here secretly?”
“I…” Luo Xiaoxi gnawed at her fingers, trying to pretend to be sincere and said, “Because I wanted to give you a surprise . ”
Su Yicheng pursed his lips and gave her a faint smile . “I didn’t see you when I returned home, nor did I find you at your parents’ house . Is this what you call a surprise?”
Luo Xiaoxi asked in surprise, “Don’t you think so?”
Realizing that she was deliberately playing the fool, Su Yicheng knew that he could do nothing to her . He decided not to argue with her anymore, then he turned over to get his body on her and said, “Let me show you what kind of surprise I want . ”
As soon as his voice died down, he covered Luo Xiaoxi’s lips with his .
“Uh…” Luo Xiaoxi opened her eyes wide and patted Su Yicheng’s shoulder, trying to get rid of him .
Su Yicheng frowned, then held Luo Xiaoxi’s hands, easily grabbing them with one hand . He looked down at her and said meaningfully, “If you had surprised me like this, Xiaoxi, I would have been very happy . ”
“Huh . I disappeared without a word, and it made you unhappy, right?” Luo Xiaoxi asked .
Su Yicheng looked sour . He said, “You will know soon . ”
Luo Xiaoxi immediately pretended to surrender and said, “I was wrong! I admit that I did it on purpose, but… I didn’t mean it . ”
Su Yicheng warned, “Make it clear . ”
Luo Xiaoxi racked her brains, trying to express her uneasiness with careful wording . She said, “I was just feeling that everything is going to change, and my life will soon become different from what it has been in the past 25 years . Recently, everyone who met me would say ‘congratulations’, ‘have a lovely baby soon’ and words like that to me . I… I don’t think I can make it . I simply came here on the island to calm myself down, not to scare you . Otherwise I should have gone abroad directly as I did half a year ago . I had planned to go back today and talk with you, but unexpectedly you came…”
Su Yicheng finally gave her an easy look and said, “Get up . I need to talk with you . ”
