Lijie simply did not believe that Xin Yi and Roxy were together without clothes and didn't do anything. Moreover, she had seen them embracing in that small cave; how could Xin Yi explain that? No matter how she explained, it wouldn't be believed. Should she honestly admit that they didn't want to do anything inappropriate, but at the beginning, they hadn't considered such matters at all? They were just focused on escaping this dreadful place, so they had torn their clothes into strips to make ropes. However, they later realized that a short rope was not enough to escape, so they had to retreat. The days that followed were filled with extreme emptiness and boredom. Of course, two young adults with normal desires spending their days nearly naked together would naturally have some reactions; it wasn't that their self-control was exceptional, but rather they only realized at the last moment how dirty they were! They had been going in and out of Bat dung all day long, and there was no water to wash up. Just thinking about it made it disgusting; how could there be any interest in anything else? Besides, why did Lijie see them embracing? They were sleeping at that time, trapped in the cave on the Cliff with no way out. What else could they do besides sleep? Although the cave blocked the wind, it didn't mean it was warm; usually, it was bearable, but once someone fell asleep, they would feel cold. Since there were no blankets available, they had no choice but to hold each other while sleeping. However, these words couldn't be told to Lijie. It was better not to explain.
So Xin Yi hurriedly said, “Xiao Jie, I’m not making excuses here. What you saw just now was… well… Roxy got scared by your sudden flashlight beam and thought a beast was attacking us, so she instinctively hid in my arms. Ahem, we usually… sleep separately. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Roxy.” Lying! Xin Yi was clearly lying! It seemed that this half-month of primitive living had not returned his thoughts to a pure state; instead, it had corrupted him. Xin Yi, how could you lie without even blushing or skipping a heartbeat?
“Is that so?” Although Lijie still didn’t believe Xin Yi’s explanation, she finally found it somewhat reasonable. She didn’t believe because of the explanation but because she remembered what she had said at the top of the cliff: since she had already decided not to be angry about Xin Yi having other women, why should she dwell on this issue? She shone her flashlight around but didn’t see Roxy, so she asked, “Where’s Roxy? I almost stabbed her just now; luckily you called out in time; otherwise, I would have thrown my knife! By the way, what did you mean by suddenly pouncing on me without a word? When I suddenly saw two naked bodies, I was scared out of my wits and thought you were ghosts! Why did you scare me like that?”
“That was indeed dangerous. If you had thrown your knife, Roxy would have been in real trouble,” Xin Yi said clearly aware of Lijie’s knife skills. She could easily be compared to Li Xunhuan level. He thought about how he learned those skills from Lijie. If she threw her knife, even a mosquito would end up as a “mosquito demon” from T country. Thankfully he called out in time. “You say we pounced on you without a word; when you saw us, you screamed ‘ghost’ and ran toward the cave entrance! Do you know what’s outside? That’s the Cliff. If you run out blindly and fall down…”
“Didn’t you know to call out to me?” Lijie still argued.
“How could I dare? I didn’t know if you recognized me; if you did and thought I was a ghost, wouldn’t you run even faster? So I thought I’d better stop you first.” After thinking about it, Lijie realized that in such a panic state, she really didn’t know what might happen.
“Alright then, you’re right. Let’s go find Roxy. I must have scared her badly just now,” Lijie said as she raised her flashlight again and looked around. “Where did she run off to?”
“Let’s go this way; she went back into that small cave,” Xin Yi replied.
“Why did she run back there?” Lijie asked in confusion. “Doesn’t she want to see me?”
“Hehe, I think it’s not that she doesn’t want to see you; she’s just too shy to face you. You should consider which girl would want to… cough cough… be seen by others?” Xin Yi explained with a smile.
“What does that matter? I’m also a woman! Besides, you're still a man; you two are together all day long! Doesn’t she feel embarrassed?” Lijie said somewhat incomprehensibly. “Is being seen by a woman more embarrassing than being seen by a man?”
Xin Yi knew this topic couldn’t be explored further; delving deeper would only let Lijie catch onto her and Roxy. So she changed the subject and asked, “By the way, Xiao Jie, how did you find your way here? Did anyone else come with you?”
"I..." As soon as the topic came up, Lijie recalled the heart-wrenching pain she felt upon learning that Xin Yi had jumped off a cliff. She couldn't help but feel tears welling up again. However, now that she had finally found him, even though they were trapped in this cave, at least he was safe, which calmed her emotions a bit. She said, "I waited for you in the hospital for over ten days without any news, so I asked Yang Wencai to use his connections as an undercover agent in the Taiwan Authorities to find out about you. That’s how I learned you were here... so I came looking for you."
At that moment, they arrived at the small cave where Xin Yi and Roxy had been staying. Considering that Roxy might feel shy, Lijie didn’t shine the flashlight directly into the cave. Instead, she called out from outside, "Roxy, Roxy dear, come out! We're all women; why be shy? Don’t worry, I won’t laugh at you."
"Lijie sis, do you... do you have clothes I can wear? I... I don’t want to come out like this," Roxy's voice echoed from inside the cave, filled with anxiety and shyness.
"Well..." Lijie replied awkwardly, "I didn’t bring any extra clothes this time; I only have what I'm wearing. How about we share?"
"Share?" Xin Yi was puzzled. Lijie only had one outfit on; how could they share? He asked, "Xiao Jie, how do you plan to share?"
"That's none of your business," Lijie smiled and replied. "Why are you asking so much? Just go outside for now; I need to discuss with Roxy how we’re going to share these clothes."
Xin Yi still didn’t understand what Lijie meant by sharing. Did it mean one person wears the top and the other wears the bottom? Wouldn’t that still leave them exposed? However, this arrangement intrigued him. Just imagine two stunning beauties—one bare on top and the other bare on the bottom—what a captivating sight! In truth, men aren’t usually that interested in women who are completely naked; rather, it’s those who are partially covered that tend to pique their interest more. Even Old Bai enjoys that kind of allure. It seems all men share a similar taste—except for those brutish types.
So Xin Yi was quite curious about Lijie's suggestion. After all, it would be quite a visual treat! He shamelessly offered, "How about I hold the flashlight for you?"
"Giggle... go away!" Lijie and Roxy's voices came together in unison. It was surprising how they both reacted so similarly. One had already been intimate with him before, while the other had spent days nestled in his arms. They had seen everything there was to see! Yet at this moment, they united against him as if he were just a lecherous wolf trying to take advantage of them. But truthfully, he did have such intentions. Since their cleverness had uncovered his scheme, Xin Yi could only retreat with his tail between his legs, gritting his teeth as he thought: If they won’t let me see, then fine! I won’t let them see either! I'll just go outside and gather some pine needles from that Pine Tree over there and make a necklace out of them! Hmph! Let’s see who ends up worse off!
However, Xin Yi only thought about it; the rope made from clothes was still inside the cave, and his leg injury hadn’t healed yet. Without help from a rope, he couldn’t climb that big Pine Tree anyway. So he could only sit outside the cave and occasionally glance back inside, hoping the two beauties would change quickly so he could resolve his curiosity about how they planned to share their clothes.
After a long while, when Xin Yi was nearly dozing off, he finally heard a burst of giggles from inside. The two beauties emerged hand in hand. Xin Yi turned around and gasped—these two women were truly ingenious! They had managed to divide their clothing like this: both wore a strip of denim about thirty centimeters wide wrapped around their chests. This left only their shoulders and belly buttons exposed. The only difference was that Roxy's curves seemed slightly more pronounced than Lijie's; however, Lijie's were no less impressive. It seemed they represented two different styles—one leaning towards vertical development and the other towards comprehensive development. Each had its own charm; it was like comparing Mount Everest and Mount Fuji—who could say which view was more enchanting? Unless one tried them both now—which would be quite difficult to determine anyway—and even if one did try now, it would probably still be hard to tell apart. Being a judge in this case would indeed be quite challenging.
"Hey! What are you staring at? Your eyes are going to fall out!" Lijie teased with a laugh.
"Ah? Where?" Xin Yi quickly touched her eyes. Lijie was clearly talking nonsense; her eyeballs were still perfectly in their sockets. Well, she did drool a bit...
