’Is a double kill possible? What if I take out these two squishies, Liu Jinyu and Xiao Wanqing, at the same time?’

At first, he only wanted a single kill on Liu Jinyu.

Now he was daring to think about a double kill on Liu Jinyu and Xiao Wanqing.

’Wouldn’t he be aiming for a triple kill next?’

’And then finish it all off with a "quadra kill"?’

Su Ran felt he was getting bolder and bolder.

’Who gave me the courage to have such thoughts? It’s the courage they spoiled me with.’

Normally, a Divine Rich was supposed to be the one spoiling them, but it was the other way around. They were always the ones acting like older sisters and doting on Su Ran.

’Role-playing as the older sister isn’t half bad, actually.’

In truth, regardless of the identity—"sister" or "girlfriend"—it was all a manifestation of love. The longer they spent together, the more harmonious their relationships became.

He let out a long breath, glanced at the tent containing Liu Jinyu and Xiao Wanqing, and stretched. Then, he went into Xiao Wanqing’s nearby tent to sleep.

A girl’s tent had a sweet, milky scent. Her personal items were scattered about, and on the pillow lay a piece of black lace lingerie with the tag still on.

’Hmm... Su Ran remembered this was the one he bought with Xiao Wanqing at the lingerie store last time in Shanghai.’

’She brought it with her this time.’

’For her to wear.’

’And for you to unfasten.’

Ever since Su Ran had mentioned the benefits of front-clasp bras, citing his own "preferences," she had thrown out all the back-clasp ones in her closet and replaced them all with front-clasp ones.

’Such a thoughtful and considerate good sister. You say front-clasp, she gets front-clasp. Who wouldn’t love a sister like that?’

’With the four sisters from this dorm, it’s better to make a mistake than to let a single one go.’

He tidied up the intimate apparel, placed it by the bedside, and slipped into the covers to sleep. The bedding still held Xiao Wanqing’s warmth from before she left.

"What are you doing here?"

"I can’t sleep, Su Ran..."

After half an hour, a content Xiao Wanqing lay exhaustedly in the covers, sleeping. Her forehead was beaded with sweat from the "excessive exercise," drenching her bangs.

Su Ran brushed her bangs aside and kissed her on the forehead. She revealed a sweet smile.

"Happy now?"

"I don’t want you anymore. You’re a bad person."

She shyly covered her head and kicked her long legs at Su Ran a few times—a classic case of "satisfied, now go away."

"Good night."

Su Ran got up. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to lie next to her, but the space beside her was soaked with "seawater," leaving no room for him.

Xiao Wanqing quickly fell into an exhausted sleep. Su Ran crawled out of the tent, rubbed his lower back, and gazed at the boundless sea.

’Finally, I can get some peaceful sleep.’

He was supposed to go back to his own tent, but Liu Jinyu was sleeping in it, so Su Ran had no choice but to go to hers.

Lying in Sister Jinyu’s tent, he was again met with that sweet, milky scent. She was tidier than Xiao Wanqing; her tent was neat and orderly.

Su Ran was tired too, and he fell asleep not long after lying down.

He didn’t know how long he’d been asleep when he groggily felt Liu Jinyu come in. She lifted the covers, grabbed his hand, slept on it, pulled the covers back up, and wiggled a few times before hugging her dear little brother and going back to sleep.

Su Ran was sleeping so soundly he couldn’t even be bothered to open his eyes and speak. He just pulled her closer and continued to sleep.

One second.

Two seconds.

Ten seconds.

Su Ran felt her hand move down.

"Little brother, your big sister can’t sleep."

Her soft whisper next to his ear flowed into Su Ran’s heart like a gentle stream.

Su Ran was speechless.

’What is wrong with these two sisters? Are they determined not to let me sleep?’

"Little brother..."

She shook Su Ran.

Su Ran’s eyes snapped open, and he stared at Liu Jinyu.

"Sister Jinyu, you have a very dangerous look in your eyes, you know that?"

"I’m not afraid."

’Sigh... Fine! If I have to treat everyone equally, so be it. I’ll risk my life tonight.’

’Let’s do it.’

...10,000 words omitted here...

Another half hour later, Su Ran crawled out of the tent. Once again, the space beside him was soaked with "seawater," leaving no room for him.

’Finally, I can sleep.’

Su Ran turned to go back to his own tent. Just then, Xie Yiren, a bombshell with a youthful face clad in a tight T-shirt, stepped out of her tent.

"Su Ran."

*Pfft...*

Su Ran subconsciously waved his hands. "No more, no more! I can’t take it anymore."

Xie Yiren walked up and smacked him lightly. "What are you talking about?"

Su Ran coughed lightly. "Ahem, uh, why are you awake?"

Xie Yiren glanced at the pink tent nearby, scoffed, and said, "Liu Jinyu was so loud just now, she woke me up."

’Ah, this...’

Su Ran said awkwardly, "Sorry for waking you."

Xie Yiren said, "It’s fine."

Su Ran: "Then what are you up for?"

Xie Yiren: "I got up to pee."

Su Ran plopped down on the sand and pointed to the beach in front of him.

"Here, just take care of it here. There’s no one else around."

"You’re so annoying..." Xie Yiren came up and hit him again. "No way am I doing it here. I’m on my period. Come with me to the boat, I’m scared to go aboard alone."

"Of all the times for it to come, it had to be now?"

Xie Yiren saw a trace of regret in Su Ran’s eyes and bit her lip. "What can I do about it?"

"Let’s go." Su Ran took her hand, and they walked toward the waves, boarding the Riva yacht.

...

Su Ran took a Coke from the fridge and started drinking it. When Xie Yiren walked over, clutching her stomach with a pained expression, he asked with concern, "You don’t look so good."

"I have some cramps."

"Then don’t go back to the tent. Just sleep on the bed here."

Su Ran put down his Coke, walked over, and swept Xie Yiren up into his arms. He headed for the bedroom. She wasn’t heavy—just the right weight to carry—and he placed her on the large, round bed in the bedroom.

"Don’t go. I’m scared to be on the boat by myself."

She grabbed Su Ran’s hand.

"I won’t. I’m going to find a bottle, fill it with some hot water, and bring it for you to press on your stomach. Wait a minute."

Xie Yiren let go of his hand this time. She didn’t know if the hot compress would help, but Su Ran’s concern was real. Especially after they left the Miao Village, Xie Yiren could feel that his care for her had reached a new level, which naturally made her feel very secure.

Su Ran brought a hot water bottle wrapped in a towel and placed it on her soft, flat abdomen.

"Feeling any better?"

"Mhm."

It was his concern, more than anything, that eased the pain.

"Why are you staring at my stomach?"

She blushed shyly. Last time, Su Ran had almost gone inside her, but he hadn’t, so they hadn’t actually had sex yet.

"It would be a shame for such a beautiful stomach not to carry a son."

"Oh, come on..."

She laughed and hit Su Ran lightly.

She knew Su Ran was deliberately teasing her to cheer her up, so she wouldn’t keep dwelling on those recent upsetting matters.

"If I’m having a baby, I’ll only have one with you."

"Then how about we make one tonight?"

"..." Xie Yiren put on a straight face. "Do you pick your nose when you’re having a nosebleed?"

"Very graphic. I was just teasing. Come here."

Su Ran lay down and patted his shoulder. Xie Yiren crawled over and snuggled into his arms, clinging to him like a koala.

"Su Ran, you know, if you want me, you can have me anytime."

"Don’t be like that."

"What, you don’t want me anymore?"

"No, it’s just that I prefer it when you struggle and refuse."

"You’re a pervert."

"Good night."

"Mwah, good night."

Soon, Xie Yiren also fell asleep.

Su Ran felt that tonight was so surreal. The sisters came and went, but Su Ran was the ironclad constant.

’In just a few hours, I’ve had three different sisters lying in my arms.’

’Thankfully, that goofball Aina is asleep and didn’t join in on the fun. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.’

...

「The next morning.」

Sunlight streamed through the cabin porthole into the room. Seagulls skimmed over the water, and waves slapped against the sea’s surface.

Su Ran woke up, his left arm sore.

He washed up, walked out of the bedroom, and saw Xie Yiren cooking breakfast for everyone.

"You’re awake."

"Mhm, are you okay?"

"It doesn’t hurt anymore."

"That’s good." Su Ran patted her shoulder, glanced at the seafood noodles cooking in the pot, and got off the boat.

The other three had already woken up. The three young ladies were doing yoga on the beach in tight yoga clothes. These three always did yoga together every day to stay in shape.

Su Ran was also a yoga enthusiast.

He didn’t practice it himself; he just liked watching them practice.

He walked over and watched as Liu Jinyu, in her pink yoga pants, slowly lowered her long legs into a split.

Su Ran squatted in front of her and said, "Jinyu, why didn’t you slowly lower yourself into a split last night?"

"Hah!" Liu Jinyu was all business at the moment, a complete contrast to her wanton self at night. She poked Su Ran’s forehead. "What are you thinking about? I do yoga for my figure. What kind of ’skills’ did you think I was practicing?"

Su Ran said, "Actually, you could integrate the two. It would work."

Liu Jinyu gave a playful smile and said softly, "If I did slowly lower myself into a split, could you handle it?"

"Er... Crude words, but not an unsound argument. You have a point. Keep it up! Maintain that great figure."

Su Ran patted her butt, then got up and walked over to Aina, squatting down beside her. He watched as she stuck her butt out, facing the red sun.

"Aina, can’t you face another direction?"

"Cut the crap. Where did my ’husband’ disappear to last night? Did you run off with her?"

"No, she woke up with cramps, so I let her sleep on the boat. She was scared and asked me to stay with her."

"Then did you do anything to her?"

"Would you pick your nose while it’s bleeding?"

"Oh. Guess you’re not a total beast, then."

"Focus on your pose. Don’t stick it out so roundly."

Su Ran gave her butt a smack and walked over to squat in front of Xiao Wanqing next.

’Er...’

"Sister Wanqing, can you maybe not do this female dog yoga pose next time? It really lowers the noble image I have of you in my mind."

"What the—what are you even saying? Can’t you boys go one day without letting your minds wander? You’re the female dog!" Xiao Wanqing gave him a speechless eye-roll. "I’m a little thirsty. Give me a sip of water."

"Okay."

Su Ran picked up the water bottle next to her and gave her two sips.

"Sister Wanqing."

"Spit it out."

"Last night, I dreamed you were pregnant."

"Hah. With the way you were, wouldn’t it be perfectly normal for me to get pregnant?"

"...Right." Su Ran picked up a pebble and threw it into the sea. "Sister Wanqing."

"Aiyah, what’s with all the ’Sister Wanqing, Sister Wanqing’? Are you a baby who still needs to nurse?"

Xiao Wanqing felt all her strength drain away from him calling her name like that.

"I just wanted to ask, when are we going back to the mainland?"

"We’re not going back. We’ll spend the rest of our lives on this island."

"Then wouldn’t we have to create a whole new ethnicity?"

"You... Haha... Aiyah, you’re really the worst! I’m trying to do yoga here, stop messing around. Go on, go play somewhere else."
