Chapter 29: A Resounding Slap in the Face
Page 1 of 3
Lin Feng was burning with rage inside.
Damn it!
She threatened him with a breakup at the slightest disagreement!
She forced him to do things he did not want to do!
If this continued, wouldn’t he end up doing all the dirty and exhausting work on the deserted island by himself while they sat around like pampered masters, leisurely enjoying themselves?
That was absolutely unacceptable!
And now, seeing Qin Meng fawn over Wang Xingyu simply because he was the city lord’s son, rich and influential, Lin Feng no longer hesitated. He roared,
“Fine! Then let’s break up!”
Qin Meng merely snorted. “Lin Feng, what do you mean? You’re breaking up with me over something this trivial?”
Lin Feng was speechless.
Wasn’t she the one forcing him to break up over something this trivial?
At that moment, he finally understood that the instability of his relationship with Qin Meng was not entirely due to He Tiantian interfering. Qin Meng had never taken their relationship seriously in the first place.
All along, he had been the only one unwilling to let go, desperately clinging on and deceiving himself.
Afraid that he might still be unable to make the decision, Lin Feng dug his fingers into his thigh until it turned red and began to bleed. Only then did he say, “Yes. I want to break up!”
Qin Meng froze in surprise. “What? You really want to break up?”
She was secretly delighted. At last, she could get rid of Lin Feng—and at such a perfect moment, after meeting Wang Xingyu.
He Tiantian panicked at once. If Lin Feng and Qin Meng broke up, she would lose her chance to get together with Wang Xingyu.
She hurriedly said, “Lin Feng, how can you be so petty? You’re really breaking up with Sister Meng over something so minor?”
“For a poor man like you, who else would be willing to date you besides her? She’s beautiful, and she has a great figure too.”
“Hurry up and clean everything up, then apologize to her and make her happy…”
Lin Feng loudly interrupted her. “Enough! No matter what, I’m breaking up with her!”
He Tiantian stood there dumbfounded. She had not expected Lin Feng to be so resolute this time. He no longer had even the slightest trace of his usual fawning behavior.
Qin Meng snorted. “I never realized you were such a petty person. Fine, we’ll break up. Don’t regret it!”
Lin Feng clenched his teeth, his heart aching.
Yet he still shouted, “I won’t regret it! I’d regret it if we didn’t break up!”
Seeing that Lin Feng truly intended to end things with Qin Meng, He Tiantian became even more frantic and hurriedly said, “Come on, Sister Meng, Lin Feng. It’s not worth breaking up over such a small matter.”
“I’ll clean up the place where Young Master Wang made a mess.”
She was afraid that if Qin Meng left Lin Feng, Qin Meng would become another rival for Wang Xingyu. By stepping forward to do the cleaning herself, she could also show off in front of Wang Xingyu.
So as soon as she finished speaking, she immediately began cleaning, displaying tremendous enthusiasm.

Huh?
Lin Feng was stunned.
He had no idea what He Tiantian was thinking. He could not understand why this woman, who usually went out of her way to sabotage his relationship with Qin Meng, had suddenly said such a thing.
But he had still decided to break up with Qin Meng and separate from all of them.
Now, he wanted even more to live freely on his own.
Only then would he have a better chance of surviving on the deserted island.
Thus, he said, “I told you before: if you want to stay in my shelter, you have to work together with me and get through this crisis.”
“But even now, none of you has done what I said and plastered mud over the tree house. What are we going to do if it rains?”
He was deliberately picking a fight, hoping to use this as an excuse to drive them away.
However, the moment He Tiantian heard him, she lashed out. “Lin Feng, are you insane? The three of us have one injured person, one sick person, and one poisoned person. Where are we supposed to find the strength to do that?”
Seeing that she was still the same as ever, Lin Feng instantly understood why she had spoken that way earlier.
He felt utterly exasperated.
So what if Wang Xingyu was the city lord’s son? On this deserted island, he was nothing but useless.
What benefit was there in currying favor with him?
Even if they were rescued someday and could enjoy the advantages of his status after returning to Sea City, they first had to see whether they could survive until that day!
Wang Xingyu laughed. “Heh heh, Lin Feng, are you kidding? The sky is perfectly clear. How could it possibly rain?”
As fate would have it, the moment he finished speaking, the clear sky—where the sunset had still been visible just moments ago—suddenly darkened.
Looking up, they saw a massive bank of dark clouds rapidly moving toward them from the sea to the west.
Beneath those clouds, the world had nearly turned pitch-black.
Clearly, this was only a passing storm cloud. Such storms usually lasted no more than a few dozen minutes, but the rain was often extraordinarily heavy.
It might not be a torrential downpour, but it would certainly be a heavy rain.
Huh?
Wang Xingyu stared at the approaching clouds and froze. His face felt hot, as though he had just been slapped several times in succession.
Cheng Xiangyu was stunned as well.
Looking at Lin Feng, her expression instantly filled with greater admiration and affection.
She secretly marveled at how incredible he was. He had said it would rain, and now it really was about to rain.
She simply could not understand how Lin Feng had managed to predict rain beneath such a clear sky.
More and more, she felt that staying with Lin Feng offered the best chance of surviving on the deserted island and holding out until rescue arrived.
Lin Feng was somewhat surprised too. Even heaven itself seemed to be helping him, giving Wang Xingyu a well-deserved slap in the face.
Coming back to himself, he deliberately asked, “Wang Xingyu, it’s about to rain. Do you see that?”

Huh?
Wang Xingyu was even more embarrassed and could not find a reply.
He Tiantian merely snorted. “Lin Feng, what are you so proud of? Even a blind cat can stumble upon a dead mouse.”
Lin Feng said, “Even if I just happened to guess correctly, it’s about to rain now. The tree house hasn’t been plastered with mud. Where are we supposed to shelter from it?”
He Tiantian was rendered speechless.
Qin Meng, however, stepped forward and berated Lin Feng. “What kind of attitude is that? Never mind the way you speak to Tiantian—how dare you speak to Young Master Wang like that?”
“Hurry up and kneel down and apologize to Young Master Wang. Get his forgiveness. Otherwise, once we’re rescued and return home, the consequences won’t be something you can bear.”
Damn it, was she serious?
She actually wanted him to apologize?
Lin Feng was so furious that he nearly fainted and could not speak.
Seeing this, Cheng Xiangyu quickly stepped in to smooth things over. “All right, stop arguing. It’s about to rain. Let’s hurry into the tree house and take shelter.”
She had already begun siding with Lin Feng internally because she thought he was extraordinary—he could even predict the weather.
But she was also afraid of offending Wang Xingyu, so she hoped everyone could get along peacefully.
Lin Feng looked up at the sky. The dark clouds were indeed very close. He curled his lips, then ducked into the tree house.
Wang Xingyu, Qin Meng, and He Tiantian noticed that he looked displeased and said nothing more.
Cheng Xiangyu had originally intended to ask someone to help her into the tree house. But sensing the tense atmosphere, she kept quiet and slowly crawled inside under her own power.
Rumble!
Rumble!
Before long, the dark clouds had spread across the sky above the deserted island. A torrential downpour poured from above like the waters of the Milky Way cascading to earth, hammering against the trees with deafening crashes.
The rain was simply too heavy. Since the tree house had not been plastered with mud, it was riddled with holes and was effectively useless.
Rainwater soon poured through the gaps.
In less than five minutes, all five of them were soaked from head to toe. Even their underwear was drenched; not a single spot on their bodies remained dry.
The three beautiful women’s clothes clung tightly to their bodies, revealing their curvaceous figures.
A lecherous expression immediately appeared on Wang Xingyu’s face. He thought that if he got the chance later, he would have a good time with them.
Preferably with all three of them at once.
At that moment, however, Lin Feng had no interest whatsoever in admiring the three women’s alluring, rain-soaked bodies.
He only hoped that the rain would stop soon.
