Queenly Demeanor

"You're Xiong Xiong!" Zhu Mei happily hugged Xia Yu's neck.

"I'm not, I didn't, what Xiong?" Xia Yu pretended to be confused.

"Don't pretend, you're Xiong Xiong!" Zhu Mei insisted.

"I'm not, where do I even look like it?" Xia Yu looked bewildered, "Besides, didn't your Xiong Xiong die? His ashes were scattered, there's no Xiong Xiong anymore."

"I just called you and you answered!" Zhu Mei said as evidence.

"That's just a natural reaction when I just woke up, even if you called me dad, I would still answer." Xia Yu gave an example.

"You just patted my head like Xiong Xiong did." Zhu Mei mentioned a second piece of evidence.

"Well, I'm used to patting my little sister, isn't head patting common?" Xia Yu continued to play dumb.

"Your golden eagle is as smart as Xiong Xiong." Zhu Mei still wouldn't give up.

"That's a product of technology, it has nothing to do with me, how could I possibly be a dead brown bear?" Xia Yu grabbed Zhu Mei's shoulders, "This is a scientific world, I know the departure of the brown bear made you very sad, but don't indulge in fantasies."

He almost believed his own words.

Zhu Mei was half-believing, doubting that this evidence could directly prove that Xia Yu was the brown bear.

However, people are not always rational animals, and Zhu Mei was no exception. She gave up thinking rationally and followed her intuition.

"You are!" Zhu Mei leaned on Xia Yu.

"I feel like I'm not," Xia Yu replied.

"I don't want your feelings, I want mine." Zhu Mei lifted her head and stared into Xia Yu's eyes.

Xia Yu felt a headache.

He pondered what kind of impact Zhu Mei's revelation of her identity would have on his life.

Zhu Mei might tell Yu Ningmeng, but would Yu Ningmeng believe her?

He had used An Siyao's body many times, and Yu Ningmeng must have noticed something. If she heard Zhu Mei's words, she might be half-believing.

No, Zhu Mei didn't know about the body swapping. All she knew was that Xia Yu was the brown bear, and she had no conclusive evidence.

After ensuring there were no risks, Xia Yu began to consider how to deal with Zhu Mei.

Exposing his identity as the brown bear, Xia Yu could ask Zhu Mei to stay and not go to the battlefield in Area 232.

Let's test her favorable impression of him.

Xia Yu said to Zhu Mei, "Want to know the truth?"

Zhu Mei nodded.

"In a moment, I will hypnotize you and test you; if you pass, I will tell you the truth. If you don't, don't come looking for me again," Xia Yu said.

Zhu Mei continued to nod.

Xia Yu took out his phone to prepare. He sent a message to Xu Youxiang, telling her he wouldn't go to the research institute today.

What are you doing? Why didn't you go home last night? Xu Youxiang sent a message asking.

A friend had a problem. Xia Yu replied.

Girlfriend? Xu Youxiang knew that Xia Yu's male friends were few.

It's a female friend Xia Yu corrected.

Xu Youxiang was not worried about Xia Yu's integrity; she knew he didn't lay a hand on her even though she was such a cute girl, so how could he possibly be interested in others outside. What made her worry was whether the person they encountered would be a bad person who might drug Xia Yu.

Xu Youxiang replied: Be careful, don't let the other person take advantage of you.

Xia Yu lowered his head and looked at Zhu Mei lying on top of him. Was this considered him being taken advantage of? He decided that it was not important.

He put his phone aside, let Zhu Mei lie on the bed, and used a calming technique on her. Five seconds later, Zhu Mei fell asleep.

Xia Yu opened the column and temporarily emptied Xu Youxiang's column. He looked at Zhu Mei, used the free selection, and chose Zhu Mei.

After a brief darkness, Xia Yu entered Zhu Mei's body. He opened his eyes slightly and caught a glimpse of Zhu Mei's first bonus. Authority technique bonus LV3.

LV3, which was already at the level of An Siyao and Xu Youxiang, would not be dangerous. With this assurance, Xia Yu continued to look at the subsequent bonuses. The second bonus was speech bonus LV3. The combination of authority technique and speech indicated a high position. Looking at the final exploitation bonus LV3, Xia Yu was absolutely certain that Zhu Mei could become a good king.

Unfortunately, she had lost her territory, and even if she later recaptured it, Zhu Mengbing would still be the king. With his eyes closed, Xia Yu used the calming technique on himself again and went back to sleep.

Eight hours later, he returned to his own body. Zhu Mei woke up too, feeling a little dizzy from sleeping too long.

"You just stay in the rocking lights," Xia Yu said as he got up.

"You said you would tell me the truth!" Zhu Mei grabbed Xia Yu's hand.

"Just as you thought, I am a brown bear, but not completely, just half." Xia Yu answered.

Although she didn't know what "half" meant, there was no doubt that Xia Yu was a brown bear. Zhu Mei was delighted and jumped onto Xia Yu, calling out "Bear!"

Zhu Mei was not a child, so her weight was not light. Xia Yu almost lost his balance due to this sudden impact. Holding onto the wall, Xia Yu pinched Zhu Mei's face: "I am now a person, not a bear, don't suddenly pounce on me!"

"I got it," Zhu Mei nodded, but she showed no intention of getting off Xia Yu's back.

Xia Yu looked at the time. It was a little past one in the afternoon. He picked up the phone and called the hotel, asking them to send up a lunch.

During lunch, Zhu Mei had to get off Xia Yu's body. She moved two chairs together and sat next to him, leaning against him. When Xia Yu was still a brown bear, leaning against him was normal. But now that he was Xia Yu, having Zhu Mei lean against him made him feel restless.

For the safety of both of them, Xia Yu said to Zhu Mei, "Since I am not a brown bear anymore, don't always lean against me."

"Why, are you going to leave me too?" Zhu Mei grabbed Xia Yu's hand anxiously.

"It's not that. It's because of the differences between men and women. Do you understand?" Xia Yu hinted.

"It doesn't matter, I don't mind," Zhu Mei was reassured and continued leaning against Xia Yu. Xia Yu covered his forehead, thinking that this girl had the same big problem as An Siyao.

"Even if you don't mind, my girlfriend will." Xia Yu pushed Zhu Mei away.

"Why don't you just leave her? Am I not fun to be with?" Zhu Mei flipped through the dishes on the table and, seeing a plate with honey, dipped her finger in it and put it into Xia Yu's mouth.

"Is it tasty?" she asked.

"It's not about the taste." Xia Yu licked his lips, feeling that he had gotten himself into big trouble.

"I understand. I'll get along well with your girlfriend." Zhu Mei sighed, somewhat unhappy.

Xia Yu wanted to tell Zhu Mei that this was not a problem she could solve by simply being willing.

"Eat quickly, and when we're done, we'll go see her." Zhu Mei put a piece of roast meat in front of Xia Yu, urging him to hurry.
