    Chapter 116 Extra 1: 37 Islands, Doing It on Every Single One!

    Zhuo Huaimo once said that his ideal retirement life would be to buy an island, then fish and bask in the sun on it.

    He said ONE! ONE! ONE!

    Someone transferred all 37 islands under his name to him!

    Now that’s great, the two of them often go to the island to be a mess, reveling in enjoyment, indulging in extravagant pleasure…

    Zhuo Huaimo was barefoot, and the soft white sand overflowed from between his toes, carrying the warmth of the sun.

    He tiptoed slightly, feeling the wonderful touch of the sand flowing as the waves receded.

    The sea breeze, wrapped in a salty and humid air, brushed over his hair, causing his shirt to flutter.

    “I said one at the beginning!”

    He squinted his eyes and looked into the distance. The azure sea and sky merged into one line at the end of his sight. Several seagulls skimmed over the water, making a crisp cry.

    Familiar footsteps came from behind, and Qi Yanwang’s arms wrapped around his waist from behind.

    The man’s warm chest pressed against his back, and his chin rested lightly on his shoulder.

    “Well, these are yours too, every single one of mine!”

    Qi Yanwang’s voice was full of undisguised laughter, and his breath sprayed on Zhuo Huaimo’s ear, stirring up a subtle tremor.

    Zhuo Huaimo turned his head, his nose almost touching Qi Yanwang’s cheek.

    “Mine? Not yours?”

    Qi Yanwang chuckled softly, the vibration of his chest clearly transmitted to Zhuo Huaimo’s back.

    He tightened his arms and brought the person closer into his embrace, “Mine is yours.”

    The sunlight sprinkled through the gaps in the palm trees, casting mottled light and shadows on the two of them.

    Zhuo Huaimo deliberately raised his eyebrows: “Then shouldn’t your asset list be reorganized?”

    “It’s been reorganized long ago.”

    Qi Yanwang released one hand and took out a kraft paper file bag from his suit pocket.

    The sea breeze lifted the corner of the document, revealing the dense clauses and official seals inside.

    Zhuo Huaimo took the document, his slender fingers flipping through the paper. His pupils dilated slightly—all the island, property, and equity transfer agreements under his name, each page signed with Qi Yanwang’s flamboyant signature and stamped with the law firm’s seal.

    “…Are you serious?”

    Zhuo Huaimo’s voice was a little tight, and his Adam’s apple rolled involuntarily.

    Qi Yanwang’s lips touched his ear, giving him a light kiss: “Of course.”

    His voice was low and gentle, “That way, if you want a divorce in the future, I’ll have to leave with nothing.”

    This sentence made Zhuo Huaimo laugh.

    He turned around, wrapped his arms around Qi Yanwang’s neck, and the distance between the two was so close that they could count each other’s eyelashes.

    The sea breeze messed up Zhuo Huaimo’s hair, and a few strands playfully stuck to the corners of his lips.

    “Then should I consider how to kick you out now?”

    Zhuo Huaimo deliberately lowered his voice, drawing circles on the back of Qi Yanwang’s neck with his fingertips.

    Qi Yanwang’s eyes darkened instantly.

    Without saying a word, he directly bent down and picked him up. Zhuo Huaimo exclaimed, and subconsciously hugged his neck tightly.

    “You can try.”

    Qi Yanwang’s voice carried a dangerous meaning, and he strode towards the villa on the beach.

    The waves gently lapped against the shore, and white foam left winding traces on the beach.

    The laughter of the two was wrapped in the sea breeze and drifted towards the swaying palm groves in the distance.

    On the villa’s terrace, white yarn curtains danced in the wind, and the double sun loungers and iced champagne placed inside were faintly visible.

    “Put me down!”

    Zhuo Huaimo struggled with a smile, “I haven’t had a good look at my island yet.”

    “What’s the hurry?”

    Not only did Qi Yanwang not let go, but he hugged him even tighter, “Let’s take a look at the floor-to-ceiling windows in the master bedroom first. I specially chose this angle so you can see the sunrise while lying in bed.”

    Zhuo Huaimo looked up at the man’s face, which was plated with gold by the sun, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat. He looked warily at the rogue in front of him.

    “What do you want to do?”

    Qi Yanwang bit his earlobe, “What do you think? I have a new goal recently!”

    “New goal? What goal?”

    “Doing it on every single one!”

    Zhuo Huaimo exclaimed, “Can you restrain yourself a bit? There are 37 of them!”

    “Don’t worry, you know my strength!”

    Qi Yanwang covered himself with the quilt, and the sweetness of the room mixed with the refreshing sea breeze covered the entire island.

    Zhuo Huaimo slumped on the beach chair, his whole body aching as if he had been beaten by the waves all night.

    He squinted his eyes and looked at the distant horizon, the sun shining on his face through his fingers, warm and cozy.

    “Qi Yanwang, you liar…”

    He muttered through gritted teeth, “What happened to ‘just once’?”

    A soft laugh came from behind, and a glass of iced lemonade was handed to him.

    Qi Yanwang was only wearing a pair of beach pants, and his abdominal muscles were still covered with undried water droplets: “Is your throat hoarse? Have some water.”

    Zhuo Huaimo took the water glass and pinched the back of the man’s hand fiercely with his fingertips: “Beast!”

    Qi Yanwang leaned over and bit his reddened ear: “You weren’t saying that last night.”

    Just as the two were getting intimate, the sound of a whistle suddenly came from a distance.

    A white yacht slowly docked, and three familiar figures stood on the deck.

    “Sister-in-law! We’re here for vacation!”

    Qi Xiaoman waved her sun hat, her pink bikini shining in the sun.

    Liu Jinchen shouted with champagne in his hand: “Happy wedding! We brought a ship of supplies!”

    Yu Fengran wore sunglasses and carried a first aid kit with a blank expression: “I heard someone needs throat lozenges?”

    Zhuo Huaimo’s face flushed instantly, and he grabbed the beach towel and threw it at Qi Yanwang’s face: “It’s all your fault!”

    Qi Yanwang easily caught the towel and greeted his friends with a smile: “You came at the right time, barbecue party tonight.”

    As night fell, a bonfire was lit on the beach.

    Liu Jinchen hugged his guitar and sang out-of-tune love songs, and Qi Xiaoman chased fluorescent crabs barefoot on the beach.

    Yu Fengran silently poured wine for everyone and picked Qi Xiaoman, who was trying to steal wine, back to her seat.

    The bonfire crackled, reflecting the smiling faces of everyone.

    After Liu Jinchen played the last out-of-tune note, he threw the guitar on the sand: “It’s too boring! Let’s play a game!”

    “What game?” Qi Xiaoman immediately came over, her eyes shining brightly.

    Yu Fengran pushed his glasses: “Idiom Solitaire?”

    “My baby is simple, please forgive me!”

    Liu Jinchen rolled his eyes and mysteriously took out an exquisite wooden box from his backpack, “‘Couple’s Tacit Understanding Test’!”

    The lemonade that Zhuo Huaimo had just drunk almost sprayed out: “You carry this with you?”

    “Specially prepared for you!”

    Liu Jinchen shook the box triumphantly, “The rules are very simple—couples sit back to back, and other people ask questions. The two people show their answers at the same time, and one point is awarded for consistency.”

    Qi Yanwang wrapped his arms around Zhuo Huaimo’s waist: “We will definitely win.”

    Yu Fengran silently held Liu Jinchen’s hand: “Not necessarily.”

    Qi Xiaoman looked left and right, and suddenly shouted: “Wait! What about me?!”

    “You be the referee.” Liu Jinchen handed her a scoreboard.

    First question: The other person’s favorite place to kiss?

    Zhuo Huaimo and Qi Yanwang sat back to back, the firelight reflecting on their faces.

    Qi Xiaoman raised the question card with a sly smile: “Three, two, one!”

    The two simultaneously showed their writing boards—Zhuo Huaimo wrote “behind the ear,” and Qi Yanwang wrote “side of the neck.”

    “Wrong!” Qi Xiaoman rang the bell, “Deduct one point!”

    Qi Yanwang turned around and pinched Zhuo Huaimo’s face: “It’s clearly the side of the neck, you were there last time—”

    Zhuo Huaimo covered his mouth: “Shut up!”

    On the other side, Liu Jinchen and Yu Fengran simultaneously showed “the inside of the wrist,” winning a point.

    Liu Jinchen raised his eyebrows at Qi Yanwang triumphantly.

    Fifth question: If the other person turned into an animal, what would it be?

    Qi Yanwang wrote “cat” without hesitation, and turned around to see that Zhuo Huaimo’s board had a majestic wolf drawn on it.

    “Why a wolf?” he raised his eyebrows.

    Zhuo Huaimo’s ears were slightly red: “Pretending to be aloof during the day, at night…”

    Before he could finish speaking, Qi Yanwang pounced on him on the beach towel.

    On the other side, Liu Jinchen was jumping up and down angrily looking at the “jellyfish” written by Yu Fengran: “How am I like a jellyfish?!”

    Yu Fengran explained calmly: “Transparent, soft, poisonous.”

    The whole place burst into laughter, and Qi Xiaoman laughed and rolled on the beach: “Too accurate!”

    Tenth question: Describe your first time in one word.

    The atmosphere suddenly became subtle.

    Qi Yanwang and Zhuo Huaimo looked at each other, and turned around to write their answers at the same time.

    “Wow—” Qi Xiaoman’s eyes widened as she looked at the two writing boards.

    Zhuo Huaimo wrote “crime,” and Qi Yanwang wrote “long premeditated.”

    “Crime? Does that count as correct?” Qi Xiaoman hesitated.

    Zhuo Huaimo looked at Qi Yanwang, who touched his nose guiltily!

    Yes, if it wasn’t for that face, he would have called the police that day!

    He was the one who committed indecent assault and was overpowered instead; probably no one but Zhuo Huaimo would experience that!

    Liu Jinchen’s side was even more explosive—he wrote “future!”

    Everyone’s expressions were subtle, and they looked at Liu Jinchen with heartache and shook their heads!

    Qi Yanwang patted him on the shoulder, “Hey, karmic retribution!”

    Those romantic debts that Liu Jinchen used to have, hehe, let him hold it back, it should be, how can this not be considered karmic retribution?

    When the game ended, Qi Xiaoman sighed and sighed while holding the scoreboard: “I also want to fall in love…”

    Zhuo Huaimo rubbed her hair: “It will happen.”

    “Really?”

    Qi Xiaoman’s eyes lit up, “Sister-in-law, introduce me! It has to be as handsome as Third Brother!”

    Qi Yanwang laughed: “Then you probably won’t be able to marry!”

    “Brother!! Are you my own brother? How can you curse your sister like that?”

    The waves gently lapped the beach, and the moonlight plated every couple in love with silver edges. Zhuo Huaimo leaned on Qi Yanwang’s shoulder, looked at the distribution map of the 37 islands, and said softly, “Which one are we going to next?”

    Qi Yanwang kissed the top of his hair: “You choose.”

    On this island surrounded by love, even the sea breeze became sweet.

    Late at night, after the guests dispersed, Zhuo Huaimo and Qi Yanwang lay side by side on the stargazing platform.

    The sound of the waves was soft, and the starry sky seemed within reach.

    “Tired?” Qi Yanwang squeezed his fingers.

    Zhuo Huaimo shook his head and suddenly smiled: “Actually… I’m quite happy.”

    He turned over and lay on Qi Yanwang’s chest, “It’s just that next time, can you not do it in front of friends…”

    “What?”

    Qi Yanwang pretended to be stupid, “Are you referring to the fact that they found your shirt on the beach this morning? Or the ones on the bathroom glass yesterday…”

    “Shut up!” Zhuo Huaimo covered his mouth, his ears flushed red.

    Qi Yanwang smiled and turned over, trapping the person under him: “Don’t worry, Madam, next time we’ll change islands.”

    The moonlight shone on the intertwined figures, and Liu Jinchen’s drunken singing came from afar: “Love is like an island~ once you go up, you can’t get down~”

    Zhuo Huaimo buried his face in Qi Yanwang’s shoulder, thinking: 37 islands are probably enough for them to fool around for a lifetime.
