Su Tang wasn't wearing any clothes. Although the surroundings were pitch black, the lack of clothing made her feel insecure.
She could only fumble her way out of the bathtub and quickly grab the bathrobe beside it. However, unfamiliar with the environment, her knee bumped against something, and she fell.
That wasn't even the most dramatic part. The dramatic part was that as she fell, the mysterious person caught her.
The bathrobe, loosely draped and untied, practically offered no coverage after her fall.
Su Tang: …
(She wanted to curse!)
"Are you alright?"
A husky voice sounded in the darkness. Su Tang realized the person's hand was still around her waist. The scorching touch made her feel hot as well.
"Bo Yijin?" she asked, pushing him away. Bo Yijin, however, seemed to have stiffened.
Unlike their embrace last night, where Su Tang was clothed, albeit thinly, this time, their skin touched directly. The delicate sensation lingered even after he let go.
Thankfully, the power was out. Otherwise, Su Tang would have definitely seen a blushing Movie King.
"Sorry, I didn't know you were taking a bath. I'll, uh, leave first. Yes, I'll wait for you outside."
Su Tang's lips twitched. Rubbing her temples, she sighed, "What are you doing here?"
Bo Yijin replied, "The power suddenly went out. I was afraid you'd be scared, and you didn't answer your phone, so I came over." His voice grew softer. Although he had set his sights on the young woman long ago, determined to marry her, he didn't want to startle her.
He couldn't scare the young woman he held so dear, not even himself.
Su Tang was in the bath, so of course, she wouldn't answer her phone. However, after this misunderstanding, she was even more curious. "How did you get in? I remember locking the door."
Bo Yijin paused, then truthfully admitted, "This island is mine."
Su Tang narrowed her eyes. "Mr. Bo, do you have anything else you're hiding from me?"
Their current situation was one of unspoken understanding. One didn't speak, and the other pretended not to know. However, Su Tang felt this thin veil needed to be pierced. She felt the Movie King was exceptionally capable of creating drama, even more so than his fans. If this continued, who knew what he might do next?
Honestly, she was starting to consider surrendering.
Movie King Bo originally intended to boil the frog slowly, but the frog seemed to have noticed. He looked at her, his vision obscured by the darkness.
"I'm one of the investors in this variety show."
Su Tang, who was slowly leaving the bathroom, paused at his words. "And?"
Bo Yijin's pupils constricted with a hint of excitement. If he confessed now, would the young woman be shocked and distance herself, or… would she surprise him?
He began to fantasize about what crazy things he might do if the young woman rejected him.
"Guess." He licked his lips, the color in his pupils deepening.
Su Tang sensed a trap. She wouldn't be foolish enough to fall for it. She found her phone on the bedside table and turned on the flashlight. With the darkness dispelled, her fear lessened.
Turning back, she looked at the Movie King, half his body still shrouded in darkness, and smiled. "Mr. Bo, I'm not stupid. There aren't that many coincidences in this world. Since the car accident, your presence has occupied almost half of my life. I always seem to see you unintentionally. How oblivious would I have to be to not notice anything?"
Bo Yijin smiled. He always thought he was being discreet, but in the young woman's eyes, he was full of flaws.
"So, what's An An's answer?"
A moment of silence hung in the air. Just as Su Tang was about to speak, a knock came at the door.
In the faint light, their eyes met, and Su Tang smiled. "The game is still on tonight, Mr. Bo. Are you sure you want to stay here?"
Bo Yijin raised an eyebrow at her, calmly replying, "Teacher An, don't forget, I'm also a player." With that, he walked to the door and opened it.
It was none other than Dan Xi standing outside.
He froze upon seeing the person who opened the door, even taking a step back. He glanced at the temporary room number hanging on the door. "Um, is this An An's room?"
Bo Yijin nodded. "So, Dan Xi is the werewolf, here to kill An An?"
Dan Xi nodded. The next second, he was KO'd.
His eyes widened in disbelief. Bo Yijin smiled. "Werewolves can kill werewolves too."
It was unusual for werewolves to kill each other. In the eight-person group, there were only two werewolves. They were teammates. However, the Movie King didn't play by the rules.
Dan Xi left dejectedly. Because of the cameras following them, Bo Yijin couldn't linger. But before leaving, he looked back at Su Tang.
Su Tang stroked her chin. There were no cameramen in her room, so no one could see what she said.
She said, "The witch can kill, but also save. If I saved him, wouldn't the game be more interesting?"
The young woman blinked her innocent eyes, her smile pure, yet mischievous.
Bo Yijin turned back, his smile equally gentle. "You can try."
Su Tang stuck her tongue out at him and slammed the door shut.
Try my foot, she didn't want to die.
She slept soundly. The next day, the director announced the dead: Dan Xi.
Once again, the group heatedly discussed who the werewolf was.
In the end, another person was eliminated, and they still hadn't found the real werewolf.
Compared to them, Su Tang was only interested in the kitchen and the orange grove outside the villa.
The orange grove was large, and it was harvest season. The director, in a grand gesture, had them start picking oranges.
Picking oranges wasn't difficult, just physically demanding. Of course, after picking them, they had to be sold. Whoever earned the most money was the winner.
The winner could enjoy a feast, while the losing guests had to draw lots to determine their dinner.
Su Tang, holding scissors, didn't frantically pick oranges like the other guests. She only picked those that looked good, so after half an hour, while some guests had already filled a basket, hers was only half full.
Halfway through picking oranges, she saw Bo Yijin in the distance and narrowed her eyes.
"Doggy, does our Movie King have any fears?"
Everyone had something they were afraid of. Sure enough, the system soon replied, "He's afraid of furry things, like dogs and cats."
Su Tang's eyes lit up. There might not be dogs on the island, but that didn't mean there weren't any elsewhere.
It was time to get a cute little pet.
The Movie King, halfway through picking oranges, suddenly felt a chill down his spine. He turned around to see the young woman flashing a pearly white smile at him.
"Mr. Bo, how about we cooperate?"
