“Hmm?” Xia Yu looked at Zhu Mei with confusion.
Zhu Mei ignored Xia Yu’s puzzled gaze. She grabbed his hand and placed it back on her head.
Then she lifted her head, gazing at Xia Yu with an expectant expression.
Xia Yu calmly thought for two seconds, trying to figure out what Zhu Mei wanted.
Did she want to act coquettishly?
Sliding his hand to Zhu Mei’s face, Xia Yu gently touched her cheek.
That wasn’t what Zhu Mei wanted. She grabbed Xia Yu’s hand again, placing it back on her head and patted twice.
Xia Yu understood her meaning and continued patting Zhu Mei’s head, thinking in his heart that this must be some strange quirk.
Squinting her eyes, Zhu Mei enjoyed the familiar sensation while glancing into the room through the door Xia Yu had opened.
On the bed, Liu Manman was wrapped tightly in a blanket like a caterpillar, with only her head exposed.
How scary.
Even though she looked so cuddly like a bear when being patted on the head, she was actually so terrifying.
After patting for a while longer, Xia Yu became somewhat concerned about Zhu Mei’s head and stopped.
Zhu Mei was already satisfied. She continued downstairs.
Xia Yu glanced at Liu Manman pretending to be asleep and returned to his room to shower and change clothes.
Ten minutes later, Kong Hanyue and the others also returned to the villa, heading to their respective rooms.
Youxue and Liu Manman shared a room. Upon opening the door, Youxue was startled to see only Liu Manman’s head on the bed.
After careful observation, Youxue realized that Liu Manman wasn’t just a head; her body was wrapped in the blanket.
She had initially thought she was witnessing a murder scene.
“Youxue, quickly untie me!” Liu Manman finally saw her savior and became excited.
Youxue approached the bed and examined Liu Manman carefully. The blanket was tied around the middle with a jacket to prevent it from loosening, while a T-shirt was tied around her neck to ensure Liu Manman couldn’t crawl out.
It was truly a rare piece of art.
“Youxue?” Liu Manman asked, puzzled.
Youxue chuckled. She took a bag of chips from the closet, opened it, and held a piece in front of Liu Manman’s mouth.
“Have something to eat first!” Youxue smiled.
Without suspicion, Liu Manman opened her mouth to bite the chip in Youxue’s hand. However, Youxue pulled her hand back slightly, keeping the chip at a distance from Liu Manman.
“???’
Liu Manman looked at Youxue, realizing what she wanted to do.
After thinking for two seconds and confirming she had no choice but to comply, Liu Manman quietly asked, “Will you untie me if I eat it?”
Youxue nodded.
Liu Manman then bent her body and crawled forward like a caterpillar, finally biting the chip.
Youxue first untied the T-shirt around Liu Manman’s neck. Then, she braced herself, untied the jacket, and immediately ran out of the door.
Freed, Liu Manman chased right behind her.
When Xia Yu went downstairs to the dining room, Liu Manman had already pinned Youxue onto the sofa. Sitting on the first floor, Zhu Mei was drinking cola beside them.
Sitting opposite Zhu Mei, Xia Yu enjoyed the playful scene between Youxue and Liu Manman while waiting for dinner.
It wasn’t lunch that approached him first, but Zhu Mei.
The girl sat beside him, pulling his hand onto her head.
After patting her head twice, Xia Yu yawned.
Although it was strange that Zhu Mei, who had been avoiding him before, suddenly became so proactive, Xia Yu didn’t dwell on it.
In two days, they would depart. He could just drop Zhu Mei off at Zilang or Yaoguang, and then he wouldn’t have to see her again.
Ten minutes later, Kong Hanyue and the others came downstairs, and they began eating.
After lunch, all six girls, including Zhu Mei, each took an umbrella and went to the beach to collect shells while Xia Yu yawned and returned to his room for a nap.
Xia Yu’s body wasn’t tired, but mentally he had been exhausted for twenty-four hours and felt sleepy.
He quickly fell asleep.
In his dream, he became a naturally born stone monkey, wreaking havoc in heaven and earth, only to be suppressed under Buddha’s Five-Finger Mountain.
The feeling of being trapped seemed quite real, causing Xia Yu to open his eyes involuntarily.
What he saw was a head of long hair.
A girl was lying on top of him.
By instinct, Xia Yu confirmed it was Zhu Mei.
So, what was going on here?
Xia Yu felt somewhat flustered. Although Zhu Mei had no parents to worry about, unlike An Siyao and Xu Youxiang, Xia Yu was an upright person.
He was about to push Zhu Mei away when she climbed off by herself.
Unaware that Xia Yu had woken up, Zhu Mei quickly closed her eyes, leaving only a small slit to observe her.
The girl looked at Xia Yu’s body, shook her head, and left the room, clearly disappointed.
“???’
So, she just came to lie on me for a bit? Xia Yu couldn’t figure it out.
Zhu Mei’s actions reminded him of the bear’s body he once inhabited. Previously, while in the bear’s body, he had enjoyed placing the girl on his belly.
Recalling this, Xia Yu fell asleep again.
When he woke up, it was already one in the afternoon.
Stepping out of his room, Xia Yu met the waiting female housekeeper.
“Sir, Ms. Lihua wants to enter the villa,” the housekeeper informed Xia Yu.
“Is she alone?” Xia Yu asked.
“She’s alone,” the housekeeper replied.
“Let her in.”
The housekeeper left the living room to make a call and relay Xia Yu’s instructions.
Besides the main living room downstairs, there was a small living room where the servants gathered when they had nothing to do.
Asking a maid for a cola, Xia Yu sat on the sofa and drank it.
Ten minutes later, he saw a car stop at the villa entrance.
Out stepped Lihua.
“Mimei is at the beach,” Xia Yu answered before she could ask.
Xia Yu had assumed that Lihua would leave immediately upon receiving the answer. Instead, she walked into the house and sat in front of him.
“What’s up?” Xia Yu asked.
“It seems that Gray Reef Company has discovered us,” Zhu Mei replied.
“…At least you’re a royal-trained bodyguard. Can’t you be a bit more reliable?” Xia Yu couldn’t understand how Zhu Mei and the others could have exposed their whereabouts again.
“I’m a soldier, not a bodyguard,” Lihua looked at Xia Yu, hoping he could come up with a solution.
After thinking for a moment, Xia Yu dialed Yu Ningmeng’s phone and asked her to handle it.
Unlike before when the people were inside Gray Reef Company, now they were in his hands, so he could directly use his influence to suppress them.
“Done,” Xia Yu said after hanging up the phone, addressing Lihua.
This sentence served both as a response and a dismissal.
Understanding the second meaning, Lihua swallowed her request to have herself and Zhu Mei stay together and left the villa, heading toward the beach.
She walked slowly, fearing what she might hear when she met Zhu Mei. They couldn’t resist that lecher, after all, since Gray Reef Company, which nearly wiped them out, could be subdued with just one phone call.
The beach wasn’t far from the villa, and soon she arrived.
Seeing her, Zhu Mei happily walked over.
Grabbing Zhu Mei’s hand, Lihua’s voice was hoarse, “Meimei, how have you been lately?”
