My abstract plant was exposed by my sister.

After visiting the research institute, Xiao Kui led Shen Lele and Shen Hao to the reception room.

It was called a reception room, but it was actually a small room that Wu Tao and his men temporarily built with wooden boards and curtains.

Inside, there was a folding table, a few plastic chairs, and a hand-drawn "MuKui Research Institute" logo on the wall.

The only highlight is that the window faces the back of the warehouse, and the giant fluorescent mushroom is perfectly framed in the window frame, like a glowing oil painting.

Xiao Kui likes to sit here and do live streams when she has free time. She doesn't even need a filter for the background, yet she still manages to amaze everyone.

"Lele, why did you dye your hair?" As soon as she sat down, Xiao Kui couldn't wait to ask.

Shen Lele sat on the chair, swinging her legs, her ponytail bobbing back and forth:

"Because we're going to perform a show; our class is going to dance. The teacher said we can choose our own hair color, the prettier the better."

"What color do you want to dye it?"

Shen Lele thought for a moment: "I want the most beautiful one, more beautiful than everyone else."

Xiao Kui took out her phone and showed her some photos she had taken before.

The first picture shows Dazhuang's purplish-red hair, and the following pictures show Liu Xudong's fluorescent colored hair, including green, red, and gray, as well as a video of it glowing in the dark.

Shen Lele's eyes lit up when she saw the photo that glowed, and she pointed at Liu Xudong's photo: "This one! I want this one that glows."

"Okay." Xiao Kui stood up with a smile, just as Shen Hao had said before.

Kids love flashy, colorful things and aren't afraid of getting hurt.

She went to the greenhouse next door, picked out a fully ripe dragon fruit, placed it on the table, and Shen Lele came over, picked up the dragon fruit, and looked at it from left to right:

"This dragon fruit is so much darker in color than the ones we grow at home, it's so beautiful."

After saying that, she turned to Shen Hao and asked, "Brother, can our dragon fruit turn like this too?"

Shen Hao: "? No way."

Shen Lele was displeased: "Why? Didn't you say you were the most amazing brother?"

Shen Hao sighed. Although he was very confident in his dragon fruit cultivation, it was clearly not related to cultivation techniques.

This is magic.

Xiao Kui took out a fruit knife, cut open the dragon fruit, and purplish-red juice seeped out, the flesh as bright as a purplish-red gem.

Shen Lele's eyes widened in amazement. She immediately picked up a piece and stuffed it into her mouth, her expression visibly brightening with pleasure.

"Delicious! A hundred times better than the ones I grow myself!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Kui looked at Shen Hao curiously: "Does your family grow dragon fruit?"

Shen Hao nodded: "Yes, we've been planting them for over ten years. The seeds they sent were carefully selected by myself."

Xiao Kui nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

By this time, Lele had already eaten three or four pieces. She suddenly noticed that Xiao Kui and Shen Hao were staring straight at her.

Shen Lele paused for a moment, looked down at the dragon fruit in her hand, and, thinking she had eaten too messily, picked up two pieces and handed them to Shen Hao and Xiao Kui:

"Brother, Sister Xiaokui, you should eat too!"

Shen Hao and Xiao Kui waved their hands at the same time, their movements so synchronized it was as if they had rehearsed.

"No need, no need, Lele can eat it herself, I don't like it." Xiao Kui's smile was a little stiff.

Shen Hao chimed in, "Yes, yes, I don't like it either, you can eat it yourself."

Shen Lele looked at them with a puzzled expression.

This dragon fruit is several times tastier than any I've ever eaten before, so how can anyone not like it?

Without much thought, she finished the remaining pieces in less than a minute.

Shen Hao and Xiao Kui stared intently at her hair.

Shen Lele felt uneasy under his gaze and touched her head: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my hair?"

Shen Hao shook his head, remained silent, and continued to stare.

The live stream chat was already exploding with activity:

"Here it comes, here it comes."

"Attention, the little princess is about to transform!"

"I was even more nervous than Lele."

Under the expectant gazes of the two, Shen Lele's hair finally began to change.

First, a wisp of orange-yellow slowly seeped out from the roots of the hair, and then gradually covered the surrounding hair, as if someone had taken a paintbrush and painted it from the top of the head downwards.

The jet-black ponytail turned a bright orange-yellow in less than a minute.

Shen Hao looked at her hair and remained silent for three seconds before asking, "...Lele, do you still want to eat?"

Shen Lele was savoring the delicious dragon fruit when she heard her brother's words and immediately denied it: "No way! I didn't!"

But she blushed because she had indeed been thinking, "I wish I could have one more."

So her hair changed from orange-yellow to emerald green.

Just like the green of newly sprouted grass in spring, paired with Shen Lele's fair face and round eyes, it doesn't look out of place at all; on the contrary, it makes her look exceptionally cute.

Like a little elf that ran out of the forest.

Xiao Kui exclaimed in surprise:

"This is indeed a world that judges by appearance. When Lau turned green, he looked like a broccoli, while Lele looked like a little elf."

The live chat was filled with laughter:

"Xiao Kui has such a sharp tongue."

Liu Cixin: Did I offend you?

"Lele is an elf, and Liu is a vegetable."

"Liu: I hate this society that judges people by their looks."

Shen Lele was unaware of what had happened, so Shen Hao turned on the front camera of his phone and handed it to her. She took it and stared in disbelief.

She touched her emerald green hair, her mouth forming an "O" shape: "So green..."

Shen Hao whispered, "Like that matcha ice cream you had last time."

Shen Lele immediately objected: "Matcha ice cream is green, and I'm green too, but I'm not ice cream."

Shen Hao: "I know, you're cuter than ice cream."

Shen Lele then smiled again, her hair slowly changing from emerald green to pinkish-purple.

Xiao Kui suddenly remembered something and pulled a paper cup out of the drawer: "Come on, I'll take you to a good place."

She led the brother and sister out of the living room, around to the back of the greenhouse, and stood under the giant fluorescent mushroom.

The enormous cap resembled an open umbrella, and the stem was thicker than Shen Hao's thigh.

As night fell, the fireflies became more noticeable, and standing beneath them, one could feel a cool breeze.

Shen Lele looked up at the mushroom that was several times her height, her mouth agape.

Xiao Kui used a paper cup to catch a drop of green juice seeping from the edge of the mushroom cap.

She handed the paper cup to Shen Lele: "Drinking from it will turn it into a dazzling color."

Shen Lele smelled it, and it didn't smell strange. She took a small sip and said, "It's a bit like tasteless jelly."

She tilted her head back and drank it all.

Shen Hao had already taken out his phone, turned on the camera, and pointed it at Shen Lele.

Sure enough, after a short while, Shen Lele's hair began to change.

Her bright purple hair gradually took on a faint fluorescent glow, like fireflies in the night.

As darkness fell, the fireflies became even more pronounced.

Combined with the giant glowing mushroom behind them, it looks like an illustration from a fairy tale.

Xiao Kui was completely stunned: "So cute..."

The live stream chat exploded with excitement:

Is this true?

"Lele is like a little princess from a fairy tale!"

"This is definitely magic!"

"Now she really is an elf princess!"

"I'm so envious! I want one too!"
