Shopping with Three People

The strong man closed his eyes, choosing to play dead.

The masked girl who came to the cave entrance didn't even look at him, she just pounced on Xiong Yu's body. She examined Xiong Yu with a caring gaze, touching all around to see if he was injured.

After confirming that Xiong Yu was fine, the girl let out a sigh of relief.

"I'm glad you're okay," the girl said.

On the other side, the strong man who was squinting and secretly observing was complaining in his heart:

Why are you taking care of that bear first when I'm the one lying here?

After touching Xiong Yu's face again, the masked girl turned to look at the strong man.

The strong man immediately closed his eyes tightly, pretending to be dead.

The girl bluntly picked up a branch and poked the strong man's belly, "Ah Wei, get up!"

The strong man named Ah Wei didn't react.

The girl said again, "I've seen that you're fine. If you don't get up, I'll go and complain to Ah Hua!"

Ah Wei was silent for two seconds, then replied, "Ah Wei is already dead."

"Get up!" The girl's words became serious and almost like a command.

Ah Wei stood up from the ground, straightened his body, and looked at the ground as if he were a child caught doing something wrong by a teacher.

"What are you doing here looking for Xiong Xiong!" The masked girl's voice was still stern.

Xia Yu thought for two seconds before he was sure that Xiong Xiong referred to himself.

Ah Wei didn't dare to look at the girl's face. His expression was timid, but his tone was firm, "I came to drive away this bear."

"How can you treat Xiong Xiong like this!" The girl continued to question.

"Miss, it's not the Xiong Xiong you used to raise, but a wild bear!" Ah Wei explained to the girl, "Xiong Xiong has been raised by humans since he was a cub and has never killed, but this bear in front of you can hunt on its own!"

"It's a well-behaved bear!" The girl hugged Xiong Yu's waist.

"No matter how well-behaved it is, it's still a bear!" At this point, Ah Wei was no longer guilty. His belief in himself grew stronger under the girl's questioning, and he firmly believed that he was not wrong.

He pulled out his wooden spear and went to pick up the dropped handgun.

Taking two steps towards the handgun, Ah Wei suddenly thought of something and stopped.

But the girl had already determined his direction, looking towards it to see the dropped handgun on the ground.

"You even used a gun!" The girl became angry, and started hitting Ah Wei with the branch.

"I didn't use it! The bear swatted it away as soon as it was pulled out!" Ah Wei explained weakly.

The merciless branch hit Ah Wei's body from the girl's hand.

Ah Wei was not sad from being hit, but the girl who was hitting him felt more and more wronged.

"My home is gone, other people are either dead or ran away, Xiong Xiong is also gone, now I can't even find a bear outside by myself!" Tears welled up in her eyes.

Ah Wei, who had been somewhat firm, immediately lost his momentum after hearing this. He covered his head, saying nothing, and let the girl vent her emotions.

On the side, Xiong Yu stroked his chin. Listening to the information in their conversation, the girl used to have a pet bear, but she lost it later, so she sought Xiong Yu as a substitute?

Xiong Yu's mood became complicated.

But then he thought, it was the brown bear she lost, what does it have to do with him, Xiong Yu?

With this thought, Xiong Yu relaxed.

He sat on the ground, watching the scene of the girl fighting the strong man.

Unfortunately, the girl only had a tree branch in her hand, not a whip.

The thick-fingered tree branch couldn't withstand the repeated strikes and broke in the middle, so the girl stopped.

Her strength wasn't great, and the strong man had a coat on, so there were no injuries.

"I want to raise this bear, and what you say doesn't matter!" The girl threw down the branch and said.

"But it's a wild bear!" Ah Wei still disagreed.

"It's smart." The girl thought of how the bear failed to start a fire by drilling into the wood, even though it didn't succeed.

"It can't be smarter than humans even if it's smart…" Ah Wei's words stopped halfway.

Thinking of how the bear had won against him in both unarmed and armed combat, he couldn't deny the bear's intelligence with a clear conscience.

He looked at the bear again, and it was lying on its side, propping up its head and playing with a leaf in its hand, like an old man watching TV.

Thinking of the girl's words just now, Ah Wei hesitated for a moment and agreed, "You can raise it, but whenever you come, either I or Ah Hua have to watch."

Upon hearing this, the bear looked suspiciously at Ah Wei.

His words made it seem like he could stop any potential ill intentions toward the masked girl.

The girl, however, didn't doubt this and nodded in agreement.

In the following time, the girl stayed close to the bear.

The bear used its psychic senses to perceive Ah Wei again, and the hostility in the strong man's body toward it had disappeared.

With Ah Wei, who seemed to be the local 'ruler,' watching, the brown bear's safety should not be an issue.

He yawned, stood up, and continued to use the unused experience card time from earlier.

Eight hours passed, and Xia Yu returned to her own body.

At 7:30 in the morning in the first district, Xia Yu got up, washed up, and came to the dining room, where the maid had already prepared breakfast.

The maid's cooking skills had been specially trained in the old west, and although not as good as those of the great chefs, it was a bit better than Yuxue's level.

After breakfast, he went to the piano room and continued to compose the piece for the Serene Princess.

Xu Youxiang worked every night, so the morning was her sleeping time.

In the afternoon, at Yuxue's insistence, the three of them went shopping together.

While returning An Siyao's maid, Xu Youxiang also returned the two bodyguards, but when buying a house, Xia Yu provided her with two even more burly ones.

An family's bodyguards were mainly based on their skills, and they intentionally chose those who wouldn't stand out in plain clothes, while the bodyguards Xia Yu had now were only judged on appearance.

The two tall and burly bodyguards wearing sunglasses attracted great attention whenever they appeared, and as they followed Xu Youxiang, the attention of pedestrians would inevitably focus on them.

But this time, Xu Youxiang refused the two bodyguards' company.

She turned her head and looked at Xia Yu who was pushing her, feeling safer with him than with the two bodyguards.

Moreover, she didn't want to bring two bodyguards in front of Yuxue, as if she was some arrogant and domineering young lady.

Yuxue, on the other hand, didn't care about this, and if Xu Youxiang had brought the two bodyguards, she would have thought it was cool.

She had already found the mall she wanted to go to through online searches, and they took a taxi directly there.

The mall was just an ordinary one, and although she had more money now, the girl was still relatively simple, and the most she would indulge in was drinking milk tea that she was previously reluctant to buy.

She wandered around in the mall, but the attention of Xia Yu and Xu Youxiang was not on the clothes.

Xu Youxiang leaned on the chair back, so she could be closer to Xia Yu.

Her hair fell loosely onto Xia Yu's hand, and as the wind blew and they moved, it tickled Xia Yu's palm, making him feel slightly itchy.

He held two fingers up, pinching Xu Youxiang's hair.

The hair was smooth, so Xia Yu used his other hand to grab a handful of Xu Youxiang's hair. The strands were soft and had the fragrance of shampoo.

Feeling Xia Yu playing with her hair, Xu Youxiang's face showed a faint blush.

The atmosphere between the two was good until they turned a corner.

Xu Youxiang's face began to look a bit uncomfortable.
