"Alright, my brother can't see now. Change your clothes," Yuxue said to Zhu Mei.
"Thank you," Zhu Mei replied with a friendly smile.
"There are towels inside to dry yourself," Yu Xue remarked.
"Okay," Zhu Mei replied as she opened the bag.
Two seconds later, Yuxue turned her head away. Despite the fact that they were both girls and Zhu Mei had only begun to unbutton her pajamas, Yuxue's face began to blush.
It was all because of Zhu Mei's enchanting face!
No wonder her brother was so concerned about her; she must have captivated him!
No, her brother was not a man with poor self-control. He must have been attracted to her and wanted to possess her!
Speaking of which, three security guards couldn't find her for so long, but her brother managed to find her just by strolling around. What kind of special skill was that?
Did her brother possess some special ability to detect beauty?
She couldn't help but glance in Zhu Mei's direction once more. Zhu Mei was already putting on a dress.
Such a beautiful girl, even she liked her very much and wanted to be closer to her.
The last girl that made her feel this way was An Siyao.
Could this girl threaten Siyao's position?
In her heart, Yuxue was comparing the two girls.
An Siyao represented the ideal appearance of a well-bred lady with long black hair, while the girl before her embodied the ideal appearance of a dangerously attractive, nation-wrecking beauty. Perhaps this was what a legendary Area 45 beauty queen looked like? But, her body still seemed to need some development.
The long-established relationship with Siyao should not be a problem. At most, her brother would keep this girl hidden and not change his wedding plans.
Yu Xue heaved a sigh of relief, but guilt quickly followed. She knew about her brother's intentions but couldn't tell An Siyao.
After all, Xia Yu was her brother, and An Siyao was merely An Siyao.
Yuxue sighed and felt that the weight on her young shoulders was too much.
"I'm ready," Zhu Mei's voice brought Yuxue back to the present.
"Have some food and drink first," Yuxue said, then went to the cave entrance to inform Xia Yu he could come in.
When Xia Yu entered, he saw Zhu Mei hungrily biting into a piece of bread, capable of devouring a fist-sized portion in just two bites.
Her parting red lips and barely visible tongue tip forced Xia Yu to avert his gaze.
After eating three pieces of bread, Zhu Mei's hunger was alleviated. She slowed down, took a sip of water and looked at Xia Yu and Yuxue.
Her gaze shifted between the two for a moment before finally settling on Xia Yu.
"Thank you," she said to Xia Yu.
"No problem," Xia Yu responded with a wave of his hand.
"Thank you, really," Zhu Mei repeated.
Initially, Zhu Mei had prepared herself to be captured once discovered by Xia Yu. Surprisingly, not only did he not capture her, but he also brought her clothes and food.
"Can I borrow a phone?" she asked cautiously.
Without hesitation, Yuxue handed her phone to Zhu Mei.
Upon receiving the phone, Zhu Mei tried calling Li Hua. The call was picked up quickly, but there was no sound on the other end.
Hanging up, Zhu Mei realized Li Hua's phone had fallen into enemy hands.
She then tried recalling her younger brother Zhu Meng Bing's number and dialed.
The call was quickly picked up, and a voice came through, but it was not her brother's.
"Who are you?" the person on the other end asked.
"What do you want?" Zhu Mei inquired.
"As long as you come, we'll release everyone. What do you think?" the person replied.
"Do you think I'd believe that?" Zhu Mei countered.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha, it doesn't matter if you don't fall for it. We'll find you anyway, Princess of Area 232," the person said before abruptly hanging up.
Zhu Mei bit her lip, not expecting her identity as princess to be exposed.
She returned Yuxue's phone and sat on the rock, dejected
