Chapter 4

"W-why did you say that? Do you know something?" Ryan had that idea before after observing the island. But he forced himself not to think that. Could it be that Nina also discovered it? She endured the dryness of her throat after eating a few mouthfuls of fish. She then patted her chest and said, "You're willing to give me the fish, which means you're not a bad guy. "Your wife... To be precise, she should be your soon-to-be ex-wife. She's terrible. Why are you looking at me like this? Are you unhappy to hear I called her soon-to-be ex-wife?" He added some wood to the fire, responding coldly, "Do you think I still care about her? Not at all. I just want to hear the information you know." She smiled, then suddenly turned serious. "Do you know why the ship hit the reef twice? The fact itself is strange. "Its radar system should be very advanced. But it hit a reef on the seabed. The second time was even more outrageous. It hit a mountain-like reef. "When I took landscape photos with my manager on the top, I accidentally heard the captain and chief officer talking in the cabin. They sounded frightened, saying the ship had entered some magnetic field and all the radars had failed. "Various instruments on the ship also malfunctioned strangely. It was precisely because of this that the ship was out of control. Thus, it hit the reefs and sank." Ryan frowned. "You mean there is an inexplicable magnetic field in this sea area that can affect radar and mechanical instruments?" Nina shook her head, held the fish, and stuffed it into her mouth again. "I don't know. That was what the captain said to the chief officer at that time. The chief officer also shouted that we couldn't get out. Why are you so calm? You don't look panicked at all." He thought seriously, responding, "Because I don't doubt what you said. I also came to this conclusion earlier. The beach on this island is clean, and there is no garbage. "That's impossible. Whether there have been people on this island or ocean currents, there will be garbage. "There's only one possibility—no one has been on this island before, so the ocean currents can't bring the garbage here. Alright. Now that you've eaten it. It's time for you to go back." Nina yawned, lying beside the fire and resting her head on her hands. She looked at Ryan, saying, "Go back to where? I never thought about going back. "I'm not as stupid as those women, especially your soon-to-be ex-wife, who still imagined that the rescue team could come to save them. "If the rescue team can't come, we'll have to live on this island for a long time. As a woman, I won't naively think I'm omnipotent and can survive on this shabby island alone. Likewise, they can't either. "I'm a confident and rational woman. I'm clear about my strengths and weaknesses. As you're the only man among us, I can only survive by following you. This fire and roasted fish prove my point. So, I won't go back. I'll follow you from now on." Ryan sneered, "You seem to have misunderstood something. Do you think that I'm interested in every beautiful woman? You don't understand married men. "Besides, it doesn't mean I'll support you after giving you food. On this desert island, the cost of living for two people is much higher than that of living alone." Of course, he knew what Nina was thinking. But he wasn't interested in her. After all, if two people survived together, he would be even more tired. She blinked, showing no trace of panic but a charming smile. "You're right. You don't need to support me, a stranger. I don't think I have any privileges as a woman. On the contrary, it's more difficult for women to survive here. "But won't you want to retaliate against your soon-to-be ex-wife? To be honest, if my man cheats on me and thinks cheating is natural, I'll castrate him and make his life worse than death. "If you let me stay here, it'll be worse than killing her when she sees that I'm living well with you. I'm a woman. I know women best. "In addition, if we really can't go back, won't you want a woman to be with you all the time? Do you want to stay away from women for the rest of your life? I don't think you can." Ryan frowned and looked at Nina, who showed him a confident smile. He felt that this woman was clever enough to see through him well. Before that, he had already noticed she wasn't naive when she said they couldn't return—she didn't show any fear or panic. Her ability to be calm and composed in situations was even better than that of a man like him. Ryan said nothing, lying beside the fire and getting ready to sleep. Nina said exactly what he wanted most and what might happen. There was nothing he could say. The sea breeze kept blowing from the sea, causing the burning flames to tilt and emit blue flames. While sleeping, he vaguely felt a soft body pressing against his back. He subconsciously reached out and immediately touched a smooth, elastic leg. He woke up instantly, immediately sensing her hugging his neck tightly. She also put her slender leg on his waist. She pressed her chest tightly against his back. He could feel that it was soft and elastic. Ryan frowned, wanting to pull Nina's hands away, but failed. He turned around and wanted to push her away, but she hugged him tighter. Their bodies were close to each other. He looked at her delicate, mature, and beautiful sleeping face. Her sexy lips were right next to his mouth. He gulped nervously, seemingly hearing a voice encouraging him to move his lips closer. He soon moved his mouth closer to her lips. But when he was about to kiss it, he sighed, closed his eyes, and continued to sleep. Nina still closed her eyes, secretly letting go of the stone in her hand. She smiled and continued to sleep while holding Ryan. Before dawn, he smashed a coconut and ate it for breakfast. He didn't sleep well last night. There were not only mosquitoes but also a beautiful woman who hugged him tightly, which made him uncomfortable. She came over, brushed her teeth with charcoal and coconut water, and drank some remaining coconut water. Then, she looked at Ryan and said, "The punishment for your soon-to-be ex-wife has begun. Won't you want to see how miserable she is?"
