Tina

After the people from Zone 3 left, Grace breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Xia Yu curiously and asked, "You can speak Russian too?"

"I've learned a little," Xia Yu answered.

He had really only learned a little, less than eight hours in total, and that was because it came as a bonus while learning English.

"If you can achieve this level with just a little learning, I must be an idiot," Grace didn't believe him.

She looked into Xia Yu's eyes, trying to get an answer.

Since the truth didn't work, he had to lie.

Xia Yu then said, "Actually, I have a friend online who is from Zone 3."

"You guy, are you such a casual person?" Grace was half convinced, but soon, she put her doubts aside.

Hooking her arm around Xia Yu's neck, Grace brought her face close to his ear and asked in English, "So, can you have dinner with me tonight and teach me some Russian?"

Liu Manman couldn't understand the English, but just by looking at their actions, she knew the situation was not good, so she hurriedly pulled Xia Yu to stand behind her.

Glancing at Liu Manman, Grace smiled and said to Xia Yu, "I don't mind having dinner with the three of us."

"Let's forget it," Xia Yu shook his head and refused.

Although Grace was a beautiful woman, Xia Yu was not a casual man.

"What a pity, if you ever have free time, feel free to call me." With that said, Grace left the venue.

Liu Manman looked at Xia Yu cautiously, "What were you talking about just now? You still have Xu Youxiang, so if you mess with other women, I will tell her!"

"Do other women include you?" Xia Yu teasingly asked Liu Manman.

Liu Manman retreated in horror, "I'm not interested in uncommitted men."

"Then you can play by yourself, I'm going back." Xia Yu walked towards the hotel.

"Wait for me, you're too realistic, can't you take me around for the sake of our friendship? I can't speak English!" Liu Manman caught up with Xia Yu.

Xia Yu was just joking, and he took Liu Manman for a walk around the surrounding streets.

Liu Manman took photos with her phone and even took a few for Xia Yu.

When they returned to the hotel, she sent the photos to Xia Yu, who in turn sent them to Yuxue, who had requested them.

On the second day of the exchange meeting, Xia Yu and the others escaped again. An Siyao went back to her room to practice the flute, and Xia Yu and Liu Manman continued to wander around the city.

They idled away the day and when it was time for them to move freely, Xia Yu got up early, got in a taxi and headed to Tina's town.

The taxi fare was not cheap, Xia Yu could have rented a car, but he had no driver's license, let alone a Zone 2 license.

Three hours later, the taxi arrived in front of the town hall, Xia Yu got off, Tina's home was just around the corner in another street.

Entering the street, he glanced at Tina's house in the distance, and then went to a nearby supermarket.

In order not to be discovered, his current persona was that of an ordinary passerby who happened to pass by and came to buy some food.

The destination he told the driver was also a small town ahead.

After coming to Bai Mao, he would get on the car from a place unseen by the driver, go to the next city and then take another car back to the original city. In the supermarket, he took a bottle of water and three sandwiches, paid for them, and started to leave. He opened the in-game menu, preparing to possess Bai Mao and start the plan, but unexpectedly saw someone.

It was Tina who was holding Bai Mao. The girl came to buy a bottle of soy sauce and had just left the supermarket. "Meow!" The quiet Bai Mao suddenly broke free from Tina's embrace and ran towards Xia Yu.

Looking at Bai Mao rubbing against his leg, Xia Yu was a bit stunned but then relaxed. Bai Mao had a psychic induction, which mostly happened on his own body, and he experienced a different feeling.

Its actions put Tina in a difficult situation. Looking at the stranger in front of her and Bai Mao at his feet, Tina hesitated. "Meow meow?" The girl tried to call her cat back, but Bai Mao just glanced at her and continued to rub against Xia Yu's feet.

Bending down, Xia Yu picked up Bai Mao. "Hello," Tina timidly greeted Xia Yu. "Your cat is very cute." Moving to the girl's side, Xia Yu handed Bai Mao to her and patted her head. The golden curly hair feels good to the touch.

However, there was no comfortable feeling coming from Tina's body. Right now, he was a stranger to Tina, so she wouldn't be friendly. "Thank you," Tina said, a little troubled by Xia Yu's closeness to Bai Mao. "It's best not to bring the cat out," Xia Yu warned Tina, "If the cat gets irritated or tempted, it will run away, and it will be very difficult for you to find it again."

"Okay," Tina looked at Xia Yu with her blue eyes. The meaning in her eyes was clear to Xia Yu - it was a question of "Can I go now?" Withdrawing his hand, Xia Yu bid her farewell and walked towards where the driver parked.

He had a plan. After Tina turned the corner ahead, he would possess Bai Mao and create the illusion of the cat suddenly escaping. He deliberately walked slowly to leave more time. Tina had reached the corner and was about to leave Xia Yu's sight.

At this moment, Xia Yu suddenly had a wonderful idea. He spent a second thinking it through. After confirming that there would be no adverse consequences, he turned his head and fixed Tina's figure in the center of his vision. Then, he deleted the Black Cat option and chose the Free Selection to possess Tina.

He made this decision only after thorough consideration. If he used the opportunity on Tina, he wouldn't be able to take Bai Mao away today. However, he didn't need to take Bai Mao away today. The organizers were responsible for board and lodging for five days, but he could stay on his own, just needing to find a hotel and pay for his flight back. Using the excuse of sightseeing in the second district, his stay would not be the least bit suspicious.

Even if he passed by this small town for the second time, it would arouse suspicion, but it would only be suspicion. He could even not come here personally, remotely control the driver, and then use the white cat's body to get on the car and leave.

However, these thoughts only let Xia Yu know that such actions would not result in troublesome consequences.

It's not that humans won't do something if it doesn't have troublesome consequences, sometimes even when it does, they would still do it, because what they do or don't do depends entirely on their motivation.

Xia Yu's motivation...

Probably because Tina was very cute, right?

After taking the white cat away, they probably wouldn't see each other again in their lifetime.
