Beginning to Tame
Watching her desperately gripping her clothes, Xia Yu finally understood why she was so emotional just now.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you." Xia Yu took the initiative to distance himself from Zhu Mei, allowing the girl to let her guard down slightly.
"You can hide here. Those people may not dare to come in, but they are still outside looking for you." Xia Yu didn't know whether the people from Grey Reef Company were still searching outside or not, but it didn't stop him from lying to reassure Zhu Mei.
He couldn't let her go after finally encountering her, especially when she appeared to be in danger.
He had gone through a lot of trouble to rescue her from the mountain before, getting shot over ten times and even losing his bear body in the process. He couldn't just let her disappear again like this.
A sea breeze blew in, causing Zhu Mei to sneeze.
She was wearing a set of long-sleeved pajamas, but they were soaking wet, presumably from jumping into the sea and then discovering this cave.
Xia Yu glanced at his own shorts and short sleeves, and wanted to go back and get some clothes for Zhu Mei, but he was afraid that she might run away the moment he left.
Unless he told her about his bear identity.
This matter was related to his secret. Although he had a good relationship with Zhu Mei while in the bear's body, Xia Yu couldn't guarantee that Zhu Mei would truly trust him at this moment.
With that thought, Xia Yu took out his phone.
Upon seeing the phone, Zhu Mei immediately stood up, watching Xia Yu warily.
"If I wanted to catch you, I could do it alone. I don't need to call for help," Xia Yu explained. "I just want someone to bring some clothes here."
Zhu Mei retracted the foot she was about to step forward with and squatted back in the corner.
Xia Yu opened the contacts on his phone, pondering who to call to deliver the clothes.
Based on Zhu Mei's size, An Siyao's clothes would be the most suitable. Even if An Siyao found out that there was someone hiding here, it wouldn't be a big deal. Moreover, Xia Yu could ask An Siyao to leave right after putting down the clothes without letting her discover Zhu Mei, which was also feasible.
However, An Siyao wasn't clever enough. If she came out with the clothes, she would definitely be discovered by Kong Hanyue and the others, who would then track her down.
Xia Yu hadn't thought of how to deal with Zhu Mei yet and didn't want too many people to know about her.
Kong Hanyue and Liu Man Man were too unpredictable. Although they would keep a secret, they would definitely ask many questions. As for Hu Liang Lu, she didn't have much to do with Xia Yu, so none of them were the best candidates.
All that was left was Yuxue.
Whether it was being smart enough not to be discovered by others or keeping a secret without divulging anything, Yuxue could satisfy both conditions.
Dialing Yuxue's number, Xia Yu waited.
Five seconds later, the call connected.
"Hello? Brother, where did you go?" Yuxue asked worriedly, as Xia Yu had been gone for a long time.
"Are Yao Yao and the others around you?" Xia Yu asked first.
"No. Should I call them?" Yuxue asked.
"No need." Xia Yu coughed and said to Yuxue, "I have an important task for you now. Don't let anyone know. Do you understand?"
Holding her phone, Yuxue tilted her head, puzzled about what kind of secret mission her brother could have, and agreed, "Okay."
"Do you have clothes that are about the size of your Yao Yao sister?" Xia Yu looked at Zhu Mei again. "A little smaller is fine too."
"No." Yuxue was very troubled by Xia Yu's request. As a junior high school student, how could she possibly have clothes that fit An Siyao's high school figure?
Xia Yu was just asking and didn't really expect Yuxue to have any. He considered asking Yuxue to get a set of clothes from An Siyao but worried that if someone found out during the process, it would be bad.
"You go to Yao Yao's room and steal a set of long sleeves," Xia Yu said.
"Ah?" Yuxue was extremely shocked. She quickly looked around to make sure Kong Hanyue and the others were on the sofa and hadn't noticed her before letting out a sigh of relief.
"Do this perverted thing yourself, don't make your sister do it!" Yuxue said to Xia Yu in annoyance.
"I just can't talk to Yao Yao right now, otherwise, I wouldn't even need to ask for clothes, I could ask her for anything," Xia Yu first clarified for himself and then explained, "I'm afraid you'll be discovered by someone when you ask An Siyao for clothes, so I want you to steal a set first, and I'll explain afterwards."
Yuxue reluctantly agreed.
They agreed to contact each other again after the task was completed, and Yuxue hung up the phone, feeling a bit melancholic.
What kind of plot was it to listen to her brother's words and steal her future sister-in-law's clothes?
Would a normal sister do such a thing?
Yuxue didn't know if a normal sister would or not, but undoubtedly, she was going to do it at this moment.
So, it was time to start planning.
She turned her head and looked at everyone in the living room. Liu Manman and Kong Hanyue were playing a competitive game, An Siyao was playing the flute with passionate music, and Hu Lianglu sat quietly beside An Siyao.
Everyone was busy, making it a perfect opportunity to act!
Lightly leaving the balcony, Yuxue walked behind the sofa and turned into a corner.
At this point, she could no longer see the living room and let out a sigh of relief.
Such a big person passing through the living room would undoubtedly be noticed, but as long as she wasn't suspected, it was fine.
Arriving at An Siyao's bedroom door, Yuxue pressed the door handle. An Siyao hadn't locked the door, so she smoothly entered.
As she scanned the room, Yuxue became a bit nervous. As a good child, she had never done such a thing before. It was all thanks to An Siyao, otherwise, she wouldn't have dared to do it.
She comforted her conscience: An Siyao was her brother's official girlfriend, and they would definitely get married in the future, meaning An Siyao was her sister-in-law. Going into her sister-in-law's room to get a set of clothes was not a problem.
Nodding in agreement with herself, Yuxue opened the wardrobe.
She chose a dress directly.
Folding the dress simply and stuffing it into her clothes, a smile appeared on Yuxue's face.
As expected of me, I completed the mission perfectly!
Opening the door and walking out, Yuxue closed the door again, preparing to go downstairs and ask Xia Yu about the next move.
As soon as she turned around, her smile froze.
Hu Lianglu stood in front of her, quietly staring at her.
This was a huge crisis!
Yuxue's mind was spinning fast, searching for an excuse. She couldn't let Hu Lianglu know that she had entered An Siyao's room and stolen one of her clothes!
Just as she finished thinking this, she felt a void in her abdomen, and the dress slipped from her clothes and fell to the ground.
Hu Lianglu's gaze shifted to the dress.
Xia Yu: "???"
After letting Zhu Mei explain for herself, Xia Yu gained Yuxue's understanding.
"So, she's the one the evil forces want to capture. How pitiful." Yuxue came to Zhu Mei's side and pulled her up.
The vigilance in Zhu Mei's heart greatly reduced in the face of the adorable Yuxue.
Taking the bag from Xia Yu's hand and handing it to Zhu Mei, Yuxue pushed Xia Yu out of the cave.
"Don't peek!" Yuxue said to Xia Yu.
"Am I that kind of person?" Xia Yu reached out to knock on the girl's head.
"La la la." The girl dodged Xia Yu's hand, made a grimace, and returned to the cave.
Xia Yu originally did not intend to peek, after all, it's not like he hadn't seen it before, but after Yuxue specifically mentioned it, he felt a bit itchy.
He could only look at the sky and divert his attention.
The sky was already gathering dark clouds, and it seemed that it would rain soon.
How should he deal with Zhu Mei?
