Chapter 37 - Chapter 37: Forever Together

"Holy cow…"

Even Chuck was startled by her sudden gush.

What is a fountain?

This is a fountain.

Gu Yitong's eyes flashed with horror. Her entire body twitched unnaturally, and her hands weakly braced against the ground.

It was obvious that she had absolutely no idea what was happening to her, to the point where she was terrified by the sudden surge of fluid and pleasure.

As the tide receded, she looked down at the large wet patch beneath her in a daze, and her face instantly flushed crimson with shame.

How could I, a grown woman, just...

Her mind was intensely shaken. She couldn't understand why she had suddenly "lost control." Her heart pounded wildly. She could only conclude it was due to being chilled by the rain and frantically tried to cover herself.

Seeing this, Chuck timely averted his gaze, pretending he hadn't seen a thing.

The main reason Chuck chose not to use this perfect opportunity to expose her was his belief that Gu Yitong's fragile facade needed to be torn down by her own hand.

After all, watching her slowly succumb to her perverse nature, eventually collapsing and surrendering completely, offering everything of her own volition...

That's what would be truly interesting.

An awkward silence lasted for a moment. Chuck slowly stood up, removed his T-shirt and pants, and, wearing only his shorts, stepped into the rain.

East Beach.

Walking in the storm for a short time was just a cold shower for Chuck, and it conveniently washed away the sweat he had worked up conquering Julia.

When he followed his memory to the palm shack the mother and daughter had built, the crude triangular structure was already warped by the wind, looking as if it could collapse at any moment.

Chuck quickly went over and saw Gu Momo, curled up inside, wrapped in a life vest.

She was currently lying on her side on the grass mat, her body slightly trembling, presumably from the cold.

"Gu Momo?"

At the soft call, Gu Momo's small body jerked. She immediately sat up, looking somewhat flustered, but froze when she saw him. Her small face instantly flushed crimson, and her watery eyes glanced away.

"You... why are you not wearing clothes?"

"The rain is heavy. If I get drenched, I'd have to spend time drying them. Come on, let's go."

Chuck finished speaking, then unceremoniously leaned down and grabbed Gu Momo's slender calf. As she yelped in surprise, he pulled her out of the shack. Then, he lifted her into his arms and quickly headed back the way he came.

The dense rainwater instantly hit Gu Momo, wetting her hair and causing strands to cling to her cheeks. Her black-rimmed glasses were covered in droplets, obstructing her entire view.

Gu Momo instinctively tried to grab Chuck's collar, but her hands met his bare, solid chest. She immediately withdrew her small hands shyly and, looking a bit flustered, removed her glasses.

Her eyesight wasn't too bad, so she could see clearly even without her glasses. To Gu Momo, they were more like a mask, allowing her to feel less afraid of other people's stares.

Looking up, she saw Chuck's prominent Adam's apple and his sharply defined jawline.

"Are you cold?"

Chuck asked softly as he walked.

Gu Momo was very thin, and combined with her small stature, she weighed conservatively less than 90 pounds in his arms. She felt soft and warm, like a cute little animal.

"N-no, I'm not cold."

Gu Momo's small face flushed instantly. She pursed her small lips, and her small feet, suspended in the air, unconsciously pressed together.

The scent emanating from Chuck, so close to her, made her mind dizzy. The fantasy she had back in the shack resurfaced.

She hesitated for a moment, but finally nestled her small face gently against Chuck's warm chest. Her exquisite, small nose moved slightly, looking somewhat greedy.

[Gu Momo's Trust Level with you has increased by 20 points! Current Trust Level: 42 (Intimate)]

Carrying the small Lolita through the downpour, Chuck's expression instantly became incredibly complicated when the light screen popped up in front of him.

As the saying goes, a woman's heart is a needle in a haystack. From Julia to Gu Momo, Chuck still couldn't figure out the basis for the Trust Level increases.

But he was naturally easygoing, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

Returning under the shelter, the mother and daughter were safely reunited. Rainwater had spread from outside the shack to the interior, and the fire pit had naturally been extinguished.

After stoking the kiln fire until it was roaring and drying himself off, Chuck squeezed next to the sleeping foreign woman. He wrapped his arms around her soft, delicate body and fell into a deep sleep.

With the Gu family mother and daughter safe under his sturdy shelter, their situation was no longer his immediate concern.

He might as well seize this rare opportunity to give his body a good rest.

Chuck slept soundly.

When he opened his eyes and woke up, it was already evening.

The storm outside the shack had diminished to a light drizzle, and the wind had gradually stopped.

Looking around, the Gu family mother and daughter were nowhere to be seen.

The workbench in front of him displayed a notification that a synthesis was complete. Chuck flipped off the bed and retrieved the item from the workbench.

A considerably spacious wooden double bed appeared under the shelter.

The wooden bed was slightly narrower than the double bed Chuck remembered, but it was more than enough for two people. The boards, cut with wedges, looked a bit rough but carried the fresh scent of raw wood. The ingeniously used mortise and tenon joints were seamless, making the structure look quite solid and stable.

Chuck gently pressed down on the bed board with his hand. It made no loose sounds and rested heavily and steadily on the ground.

Apart from looking a bit rudimentary, it had no flaws.

"Finally, a proper bed."

Chuck nodded in satisfaction. He then returned to the makeshift "wooden bed" constructed from four temporary logs and softly woke the still-sleeping foreign woman.

With her hair scattered like a Golden-Haired Lion King, she groggily sat up. Upon seeing the decent-looking wooden bed not far away, her eyes and mouth simultaneously widened.

"Oh. My. God."

This time, her exclamation was drawn out word by word. She slowly turned to look at Chuck, her admiration and awe reaching a peak.

"Darling, did you make all of this yourself?!"

Chuck just smiled without speaking.

"Fuck…"

Julia felt the burning between her swollen and aching legs flare up again. The female instinct to admire strength made her want to leap forward and mount Chuck immediately, but her body truly couldn't take it. She just flipped off the bed and bounded into Chuck's arms, wrapping her small feet around his waist, and showered his face with wild kisses.

"We finally have a bed!"

After the passionate kisses, Chuck spread the dried grass—which had served as their mattress—onto the wooden planks. He then covered it with their bedding, the wild boar hide cloak. The haki blanket, used as a cover, and the life vests, used as pillows, were neatly folded and placed.

A truly usable bed for rest was finally complete.

From now on, there would be no more pain of being woken up by stones pressing into him when he turned over at night, nor the worry of venomous insects or beasts crawling onto him in the middle of the night.

Most importantly, from now on, this double wooden bed would be the "battlefield" for Chuck and the foreign woman's endless firepower.

There was no doubt that making love was best enjoyed in bed.

However, today would have to be a temporary truce.

After getting up, Julia routinely boiled water and made soup. Chuck took the opportunity to refill all their containers with fresh water using the previously installed rainwater collection system.

After eating and drinking their fill, night fell. The rain further diminished, leaving only a light drizzle. Since it was dark, there was nothing else to do but rest under the shelter.

Unfortunately, the awkward situation was that neither of them could sleep, nor could they do the deed. They could only lie together on the wooden bed, staring blankly at the roof of the shack.

Julia traced various patterns on Chuck's chest with her slender fingers. She was like a playful little girl, occasionally pinching Chuck's abs or playfully squeezing his Adam's apple.

This earned her a sharp slap on her pink buttocks from Chuck. She let out a tantalizing cry, then instantly felt his large hand creeping forward toward the crevice of her butt. Her delicate body shivered, and she looked up at him piteously.

"Please don't, Darling, I'm still sore…"

Chuck gave a helpless smile and withdrew his hand, glancing down at the highly erect long spear below.

The foreign woman immediately understood. She blushed and nodded gently. She then bent over and rested her head on Chuck's abdomen. A warm, wet, enveloping sensation instantly arrived.

Chuck was about to close his eyes and enjoy it when a vibration interrupted the relaxed atmosphere.

He picked up his phone and saw, sure enough, it was a call from Gu Momo.

But seriously, why does this small Lolita always call when I'm busy doing the same thing?

Slurp, slurp.

Accompanied by the classic BGM of vacuum lapping, Chuck narrowed his eyes in pleasure and answered the phone.

"Hello? Why the sudden call? Is everything alright?"

"No… it's just easier this way…"

Gu Momo's voice was still tentative and timid. Chuck was now used to her only becoming "Momo the Great" when she typed, and remaining a little coward otherwise.

"Thank you again today. If it weren't for you, Mom and I really wouldn't know what to do."

"Why do I feel like you thank me every night?"

"..."

Sensing the awkward silence, Chuck chuckled and didn't continue to tease the autistic little Lolita: "Alright, you don't have to thank me anymore. Just come to me if you have any difficulties. Go to bed early."

At this, Chuck clearly sensed a pause in Gu Momo's breathing on the other end. She then replied in a voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz, but carrying a hint of delight: "M-hmm, I know."

"Good night…"

Beep.

The call abruptly ended.

Chuck put down his phone, his brow subconsciously furrowed.

Before Gu Momo hung up, right after saying "Good night," she seemed to have said two identical words, but he hadn't quite caught them.

Good night what?

Chuck scratched his head.

Although he hadn't heard clearly, he was certain those two words were not his name.

The small lilac tongue below him grew more agile, sometimes darting quickly, other times powerfully enveloping. Chuck's attention quickly returned.

He had been forcibly stopping himself earlier in the afternoon and was still unsatisfied. The stimulation made his scalp tingle.

A long moment later, with a deep inhale, he raised his hand and pressed down firmly on the back of Julia's fluffy blonde head. Accompanied by muffled sounds from her throat, he poured his entire contents.

The foreign woman slowly sat up, her face flushed and her eyes seductive. Her small mouth puffed out slightly, and with a swallow in her throat, she slowly extended her pink tongue and licked her red lips.

"Darling, was that good?"

Chuck gave a gentle smile, raising his hand to gently pluck a curled hair from her fair cheek. He then stroked her head: "Very good. Thank you."

"Hee hee~"

Hearing Chuck's affirmation and thanks, the hearts reappeared in Julia's eyes. She leaned forward and snuggled tightly into the crook of Chuck's arm.

Then, she suddenly looked up, her exquisite blue eyes gazing at Chuck, and asked softly.

"Darling, what do you think… what is our relationship exactly?"

Chuck was first stunned at the question, then lowered his head, his hand gently stroking Julia's soft cheek.

"Why ask that all of a sudden?"

Chuck's regard for Julia was undeniable, so when he realized she was asking seriously, he had to answer seriously as well.

"I don't know either."

Julia blinked her eyes, leaned forward, and gently kissed his neck.

"I just suddenly feel… a bit unsettled."

Unsettled?

Hearing those words, Chuck had a vague guess.

Even though the foreign woman had a somewhat carefree and easygoing personality, she was ultimately a rather conservative woman.

Having entrusted her body and heart to him, she would naturally worry that he might grow tired of her or even abandon her one day...

Especially since she wasn't the only woman on the island right now.

Gu Yitong aside—though she was a woman, Chuck didn't view her as a "person"—Gu Momo was different.

She was young, pretty—even Julia was captivated by her cuteness—and she was obedient and sensible, with a very harmonious relationship with Chuck.

No matter how much Julia didn't want to admit it, she understood that if the four of them were destined to be trapped on this deserted island forever, then free from the complexities of the mundane world, Chuck would eventually take Gu Momo into his fold as well...

If that time truly came, would Chuck still be this gentle and loving towards her?

She couldn't be sure.

When their eyes met, although Chuck hadn't fully guessed her innermost thoughts, he understood her general anxiety.

"Do you remember what I told you that day?"

"As long as we are both alive, I will always be by your side."

"So, if we have to define our relationship…"

Chuck paused slightly here, then looked into her eyes and spoke slowly, calmly, and with certainty.

"It's a relationship of being forever together."

As his words fell, Julia's eyes suddenly became wet.

But this time, instead of embracing Chuck's neck and kissing him passionately as she usually did, she returned a gentle smile.

She nodded heavily.

"Yes, we will be forever together!"
