"I'm going to suffocate!"
I pushed the heavy weight off me with all my might, and my vision cleared to reveal the azure sky.
The cruise ship encountered a storm and sank.
Hah, I knew I was lucky!
The joy of surviving the disaster made me let out a whistle towards the sea.
However, my exhilaration was quickly washed away by my surroundings. Before me was the vast blue sea, and behind me, an endless jungle.
The unfamiliar environment surrounded me with a sense of immense danger.
Is this… a deserted island?!
Am I, Lu Ziye, about to become a modern-day Robinson Crusoe?
I wonder how many people survived the cruise ship incident?
As I was lost in thought, a groan suddenly came from my feet!
I looked down and realized that what had been pressing on me was not a heavy object, but a woman!
In the sunlight, the woman had a graceful figure, but her face was obscured by her hair, making it impossible to see her features.
Looking at her full chest, I couldn't help but swallow. No wonder I had felt so stifled earlier, this was the reason.
I crouched down and nudged her body. She showed no reaction.
There was no other way, it seemed my long-hoarded CPR skills would have to be used!
I gently brushed aside the hair covering her face. As I saw her features, I was stunned, and an inexplicable anger surged within me!
Damn it!
What a coincidence?
This woman was none other than Shangguan Yao, the beautiful CEO of my company!
Shangguan Yao, who usually never looked me in the eye, acting as if she were too good for anyone. But what truly angered me was that this company team-building event was supposed to be a bus trip to the mountains. Yet, for some inexplicable reason, Shangguan Yao insisted on taking a cruise ship.
And now I was caught in this mess too!
Despite my dissatisfaction, my upbringing told me I couldn't stand by and do nothing.
I patted Shangguan Yao's smooth cheek twice. Goodness, I wondered how she maintained her skin. I couldn't resist pinching it, and it felt quite nice.
Shangguan Yao, you're lucky I'm here!
I took a deep breath, leaned down, and slowly brought my lips towards Shangguan Yao's.
However, just then, Shangguan Yao's eyes suddenly opened.
She showed me what a sudden change of expression was. In just one second, Shangguan Yao's beautiful almond-shaped eyes went from confusion to disgust.
"Pervert!"
Caught off guard, I was slapped hard across the face by Shangguan Yao.
I gasped, covering my face, and before I could recover, Shangguan Yao's angry voice reached my ears.
"Lu Ziye, you really are a scoundrel! I'm going to fire you!"
Shangguan Yao retreated several steps defensively, her face filled with revulsion, looking at me as if I were irredeemable garbage.
"It seems what Li Degui said about you is absolutely true. You are a despicable, vulgar, and sleazy man! I used to think you were somewhat refined and that they were wronging you. I never expected you to take advantage of my unconsciousness to do… to do this to me!"
Shangguan Yao had never been intimate with a man in her life.
Who knew she would almost have her purity ruined by Lu Ziye today? As she spoke, she began to cry with indignation.
My face was still throbbing from the pain, and seeing Shangguan Yao sobbing there, I felt a surge of anger.
Damn it, am I that desperate?!
My good intentions have been repaid with ingratitude!
"You think I didn't have good intentions? Fine, I won't bother anymore!"
I got up, turned around, and walked away, leaving Shangguan Yao, that ungrateful woman, far behind me.
I hadn't walked far along the beach before my stomach started to rumble. My clothes, bloated by the seawater, clung tightly to my skin, smelling strongly of the sea.
Damn, I'm even hungrier!
Fortunately, I grew up by the sea and wasn't unfamiliar with it. Before long, I found some clams and small crabs.
Carrying them in my hat, it was quite a feast.
I patted my pocket. Thankfully, my cigarettes and waterproof lighter were still there.
I found a sheltered spot and gathered some twigs from nearby. In a flash, I had started a bonfire.
The dancing flames made my tense nerves gradually relax.
I sat before the bonfire, placing my wet clothes on a nearby rock. Suddenly, I remembered what Shangguan Yao had said earlier, and a wave of anger washed over me.
Damn Li Degui, it was indeed him playing dirty tricks behind my back!
Annoyed, I tried to light a cigarette, but discovered the tobacco leaves were ruined by the seawater. So, I irritably threw the cigarette on the ground.
Li Degui was the company's vice president. He usually carried himself with airs, bossing around the employees below him as if everyone owed him something.
But towards Shangguan Yao, he always wore a smiling face, like a lapdog.
Although I never liked Li Degui, we never had any real conflict. However, later, because of Pan Lili, Li Degui and I became enemies!
Pan Lili was my girlfriend. She was very dependent on me and applied for a job at the company with me.
Soon, I was promoted from a regular security guard to the head of the security department. Pan Lili was still just a minor employee.
It was around this time that Li Degui began to target me at work, making things difficult for me. Pan Lili, without any notable achievements, suddenly saw her position skyrocket.
Before long, she became the Creative Director.
During that period, after every intimate moment, Pan Lili would lie on my chest, comforting me like a kitten.
"If you can't stand it, just jump to another company. If you leave, I'll go with you."
At the time, I was touched by her words. Looking back now, it makes me sick!
One day, as I was leaving work and heading to the parking lot, I heard two familiar voices at the corner.
"No, not here. If Zi Ye finds out, ah..."
"What if he finds out! He's called a supervisor, but let's be honest, he's just a security guard! Quick, baby… I can't wait!"
"Don't be so hasty. Once I trick him into quitting, he'll be all yours."
I peeked around the corner and saw Pan Lili and Li Degui being intimate in front of the car!
So, all those sweet words of comfort were lies!
Rage filled me, and I charged forward, delivering a fierce punch to Li Degui, sending him scrambling.
From that day on, Li Degui would give me venomous glances at every meeting and confront me at every opportunity.
I had planned to quit and join another company after receiving my year-end bonus, but I never expected to be stranded on a deserted island due to this team-building event!
Those two scumbags should be fish food by now. Heaven has eyes!
The sun gradually set, leaving only the sound of waves crashing on the beach and the crackling of the bonfire before me.
Suddenly, a woman's scream echoed from not far away!
