Talulah, I'm still a child.

"Why?"

"That's right, we've finished packing up over there too."

No sooner had Kal'tsit finished speaking than a chorus of dissent arose. She had expected this, so she wasn't disappointed. "Seriously, Skadi, why are you interrupting? What's it to you?"

"Then let's take him to 404, I think that's where..."

While talking about Kal'tsit, she took out her communicator to check. She remembered that dormitory 404 had never been occupied by anyone. Then Rosemary interrupted her.

"That dormitory belongs to Lily of the Valley."

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent, and everyone turned their surprised gazes toward Linglan, who had just gotten off the bus. She seemed a little embarrassed, covering her face with her tail.

But Rosemary and Amiya knew very well that he was actually overjoyed, but Lily of the Valley tried her best to calm herself down and make herself look more shy than excited.

"I don't mind living with Brother Meixue."

When Cleopatra Hilton covered her face, she uttered a sentence she hadn't said in a long time.

"Damn, that's Mei Xue's charm."

Chapter 186 The Siren Loli's Request

Room 404 on Rhodes Island. Kal'tsit always felt that the number was a bit strange. She couldn't understand why Mei Xue insisted on choosing this room as her dormitory, since it had already been occupied by Suzuran.

Logically speaking, Mei Xue should change dorm rooms, or Ling Lan should move out and find a new dorm room. Kal'tsit would definitely arrange a better and more comfortable one for her. However, she is unwilling to move out but also very willing to live with Mei Xue, which makes things very difficult.

Now it's obvious to everyone that this Lily of the Valley is interested in Mei Xue. The problem is that she still holds the initiative from a certain angle. After all, the dormitory belongs to her. She can't just argue with a young girl and resort to force, can she?

If it were Kal'tsit, she wouldn't listen to any of her rambling and would just throw her and all her bags out.

However, Suzuran was really difficult to deal with, so everyone could only suffer in silence. A group of people tried their best to persuade Suzuran to move, and Kal'tsit even had to ask Aya, who was closest to Suzuran, to do the persuasion.

"So, Lily of the Valley, you're all still young. Living together now isn't good for your image."

"But I don't care."

Faced with Aya's earnest advice, Linglan simply hugged her tail, looking completely fearless. After all, she and Meixue had done everything they should and shouldn't have done, so what was there to care about? Could she possibly worry that Meixue would abandon her? That was impossible.

"What about after your mom and dad arrive in Rhodes Island? They'll come to see you, and if they find out you're living with a boy, they'll..."

“They will be very happy.”

Linglan had already learned to answer first. In fact, she never intended to hide Meixue's matter from her parents. If she hadn't been worried that her parents were too busy, Linglan would have written to them long ago to tell them that she had a sweetheart.

As for the parents' reaction? Linglan wasn't worried that they would be unhappy with Meixue, after all, the little fox was truly lovable.

Ultimately, Suzuran seriously doubts whether there are truly people in this world who dislike Meixue. (Theresis and the Blood Demon Lord have something to say)

So if her parents really came to Rhodes Island, before they even found out about this, Suzuran would take Meixue to meet them and try her best to say nice things. She could even foresee her mother holding Meixue in her arms and stroking her tail, while her father calmly commented on his son-in-law's fur color.

Seeing that Suzuran's attitude was so firm and impeccable from every angle, Aya had no choice but to give up and helplessly gave Kal'tsit a powerless look.

Seeing that her trump cards were useless, Kal'tsit had no choice but to tap the Doctor on the head. The Doctor, who was trying to put the pancake in her mouth and then soak it in hot water, stood up.

"It's your turn."

"Let's make it clear first, if I can convince her later, you'll have to cooperate."

"can."

Seeing Kal'tsit nod, the Doctor put down the instant noodles in his hand, walked up to Suzuran, and put his hand on Suzuran's shoulder.

"Lily of the Valley, you don't want Meixue's reputation to be damaged, do you?"

"...Doctor, what did you say?"

Lily seemed a little confused about what the Doctor was saying, but the Doctor just smiled and leaned down to whisper something in her ear. In everyone's eyes, Lily's face gradually turned a little ugly, but it quickly eased, followed by confusion and hesitation. It was hard to imagine what the Doctor had said to make her change like this.

"Then... I..."

"Don't worry, I think I still have some say in Rhodes Island."

Although she had only been at Rhodes Island for a short time, the Doctor was well aware of her importance to the island. At least that arrogant old woman was willing to give her some face, and such a team had gone out of their way to bring her back. If she didn't even have this much power, wouldn't that be a joke?

"Okay then, I agree to move out."

"That's right. Actually, I can understand you. After all... girls are always more sensitive."

Faced with the Doctor's ambiguous smile, Suzuran felt her cheeks burning and hid to the side, clutching her tail. The Doctor, on the other hand, gave Kal'tsit and the others a thumbs up.

"Doctor, how did you do that?"

"It's actually very simple. I just told her that living together like this would have a negative impact on Mei Xue's reputation, and I exaggerated a little. She doesn't care about herself, but she does care about Mei Xue."

(We think you've exaggerated more than just a little bit.)

Judging from Suzuran's worried expression, the Doctor must have made things sound very serious. No matter how smart she is, Suzuran's experience and knowledge are no match for adults, and she can't possibly be as cunning as the Doctor.

"However, she has to make room for the 403 next door; that's the biggest concession she can accept."

Although they couldn't live together, it didn't mean Linglan would give up willingly. At the very least, she would have to move next door. She wasn't dissatisfied with giving up her dormitory to Meixue. After all, the house originally belonged to the little fox; she had just secretly designated it as her territory.

"That's acceptable, we can accept it."

Kal'tsit nodded. After all, as long as they weren't living together, it was fine. Now that Mei Xue and the Doctor were back, many things on Rhodes Island could be restarted. Although the Doctor's amnesia made her have some doubts, the most important thing right now was to let the two of them adapt to the living environment on Rhodes Island.

With Mei Xue around, Rhodes Island's scientific research will likely be at least three times more efficient if they just rub the little fox's tail a couple of times beforehand. Developing a more effective Oripathy inhibitor won't be a problem either, and Rhodes Island will be able to save more lives.

As for the Doctor, Rhodes Island's future development path and various plans can be entrusted to her. Also, there's Pero, who came back with Mei Xue and has a huge appetite; she'll need to put some thought into making arrangements for her. This is the first time Kal'tsit has ever seen someone even dumber than Mei Xue.

"Kroos, what are you doing with that camera?"

Warfarin looked at Kroos with some confusion; this guy was actually taking high-definition photos of Mei Xue.

"Oh, you don't understand. Back in the Tower of Babel, a single photo of Mei Xue emerging from her bath could fetch a lot of money."

"But isn't he sleeping right now?"

"So I filmed it for myself."

Warfarin was shocked. What do you mean by "for personal use"? What do you plan to do with these photos? And where did you get Mei Xue's bath photos from before?

(P.S.: Warfarin's operator log mentions that she was taken to Rhodes Island by Kal'tsit during the period between the collapse of Babel and the establishment of Rhodes Island, so she doesn't know Mei Xue and the Doctor.)

Seeing that Kroos was about to cause trouble again, Kal'tsit glared at her, telling her to behave herself. Back in Babel, it was because Kroos had secretly installed more than a dozen cameras in Mei Xue's dormitory that Kal'tsit's affair was discovered by Theresa.

Since then, the little fox has mostly slept with the Doctor or Amiya. Kal'tsit has been blacklisted, and even when Meixue has a physical examination, someone has to be there to watch over her.

"Doctor, come with me. Since you have lost your memory, I need to explain Rhodes Island's operating model to you. Kroos, you come too."

Why?

"Because you are the chief engineer, there are some things you are more familiar with than I am."

"You must still hold a grudge against me for what I did back then... I... I'll leave, okay?!"

Kroos, who almost let slip the truth, quickly stopped herself. Judging from Kal'tsit's look, if she dared to say even a word about what the other party had done, the chief engineer of Rhodes Island might be replaced after Mei Xue woke up.

Thinking of this, Kroos had no words to express her bitterness. Back then, she was young and ignorant and fell in love online. Only after being caught by Theresa did she realize it was an online scam. Although Mei Xue did look just like the photos she saw online, there were just too many people on Rhodes Island who coveted her.

So Kroos glared at the Doctor. If it weren't for this guy's trap, would she have ended up like this? She might as well have secretly eloped with Mei Xue back then.

With Kal'tsit and the Doctor gone, most people left the resting space to Mei Xue. Hemer noticed that Saria kept turning back every few steps, her eyes filled with the same reluctance as a newlywed wife seeing her husband go to work.

Skadi and Surtr had no intention of leaving, as did the group from Da Yan. Xi and Ling were seeing Mei Xue again after a long time, and in a sense, they were all acquaintances. Sui, Surtr, and Isamara, who had been involved with Mei Xue before, met again in this way.

Of course, only Skadi was unaware of the situation, but Surtr and Rei both knew very well how hateful the guy lurking inside her used to be. After all, at most, Sui only thought about stealing food, while Isamara wanted to steal a man.

"Sleeping so soundly, did you stay up all night last night?"

Ling sat on the edge of Mei Xue's bed, his long tail gently scratching the little fox's face. The strange ticklish sensation made Mei Xue turn around, hug the tail, and bury her head in it. The little fox angrily slapped Ling's tail away with the rest of its tail.

"It's a little smaller than before, I wonder if other parts have shrunk too..."

"Sister Ling, watch your words."

Nian seemed to have thought of something, and her expression turned very strange. Xi was stunned for a moment before she realized what her good sister meant.

"I was just talking about appetite, what did you mean by Little New Year?"

"Ah...I..."

Ling choked her own little sister, then turned to look at Surtr and Skadi. Perhaps displeased with Ling's intimacy, their eyes were filled with hostility. This was understandable, as they were old rivals.

The atmosphere here was so strange that Skadi couldn't stand it anymore. Since Mei Xue was sleeping, she decided to sleep with her instead, so she could enter Mei Xue's dream instead of just watching from here.

In Mei Xue's dream, the little fox looked at the hundreds of sirens in front of him and was a little confused. He remembered that there were only a little over a hundred last time. How come this time it was three times as many?

However, compared to those, it was their various material needs that troubled the little fox more. Mei Xue had no shortage of money or anything like that, but the various rare materials were a bit of a problem for him. He had only seen things like D32 steel, bipolar nanochips, and electronic components in books.

"I'll ask when I get back."

Mei Xue estimated that Rhodes Island should have these materials. If they could find one of each type and stuff it into the tail, they could start mass production. It seems that the Sirens really lack everything.

"We're so sorry to have to ask you to provide all this... Is there anything we can do for you, Master?"

"Well, no, I don't need anything or have anything to do, but you're in Iberia, right?"

"Yes, in fact, if we hadn't suddenly sensed that you had connected to the mental network, we might still be building our new home."

Because they share the same continent, the time difference between the various countries of Terra is not too great. It is about noon in Iberia, which is just the Sirens' lunch break time. Anyway, the heavy lifting can be left to the Sealings.

"Can I hang out with you guys when I go to Iberia? I want to learn to swim!"

Mei Xue wagged her tail. After staying in such a dream for a long time, the little fox occasionally wanted to go to the beach to play, but he couldn't swim, especially after his tails became more numerous, making it very heavy to absorb water.

"what……"

Amaya paused for a moment, then nodded quickly like a chick pecking at rice to indicate her agreement. In fact, even if Mei Xue asked them to find a way to pluck the moon from the sky, these sirens would find a way.

Oh wait, a while ago a Siren suggested printing Mei Xue's chibi-style portrait on the moon for all of Terra to admire, but that goal is rather difficult for the current Sirens.

"Can I give you the things tonight or tomorrow night?"

"Of course... Oh, right, Master, we have a request. I wonder if you can grant it?"

While subtly setting Skadi to "forbidden access" for trying to enter the dream, Amaya seemed a little embarrassed. The little fox twitched its ears to signal her to continue. After all, these Sirens were, strictly speaking, his good friends and even half-family, so he would try his best to meet their requests.

"That's it, we hope to... touch your tail and ears, this will effectively motivate everyone."

To be honest, it's not just Amaya; all Sirens have a special obsession with Mei's tail because they can't evolve to have that feature, and influenced by Mei, they especially like these furry things, especially Gatanothor.

"Of course you can, but don't use too much force or knead it too much."

When Mei Xue finished speaking, he suddenly sensed a dangerous atmosphere in the air. The eyes of the more than three hundred sea creatures looking at him were filled with emotions he was very familiar with, emotions that were also seen in the eyes of Talulah, Lappland, and others.
