Talulah, I'm still a child.

"Ah, good afternoon."

Warfarin watched absentmindedly as Mei Xue walked past her. The little fox's appearance was like opening a door to a new world for her, allowing her to rediscover her old friends from Rhodes Island, whom she had known for over three years.

To give the most obvious example, she found out that someone (actually Mei Xue) could actually buy things from Kroos without paying? What kind of daydream would that be?

Then Warfarin was even more dumbfounded, because she saw Kal'tsit, who was putting on makeup, take Mei Xue's hand and walk towards the cafeteria together.

"I must be dreaming!"

Chapter 188 Mei Xue, why don't you move to Laterano?

On their first night on Rhodes Island, after dinner, Kal'tsit specially ordered a cake for Mei Xue. Knowing that Mei Xue was shy, Kal'tsit had also shielded Mei Xue from many people's gazes during the meal, which made the little fox particularly fond of her.

Having just arrived in Rhodes Island, Mei Xue still needed some time to adjust to life there. The little fox placed the fruit cake on her bedside table and then took out her communicator.

Mei Xue took off her little red leather shoes, hung her coat beside her, hugged her tail, leaned against the headboard, opened the chat interface, and unsurprisingly saw a greeting from Remianne.

Because she was quite busy lately, Mei Xue didn't have much time to chat with Remian, but the other side would send her caring greetings every day, which made the little fox feel very warm, so she made a video call directly.

The call was answered almost instantly, and Mei Xue heard Remy's gentle voice, accompanied by the sound of water.

Good evening, Meixue~

The next moment, Remian's face appeared on the screen; judging from the background, she seemed to be taking a bath.

"Good evening, sister. Did I disturb you?"

"No, I've already finished showering, I was just taking a bath. Did Meixue just finish eating?"

Although she was taking a shower, Remyn made no attempt to avoid suspicion. Since she was only exposing her upper body to the camera and it wasn't revealing, she found it surprisingly enjoyable.

"Yes, how did you know, sister?"

"You haven't wiped the milk stains off the corner of your mouth yet."

Remy's words made Mei Xue subconsciously lick her lips. Just as she said, the little fox blushed and embarrassedly covered the lower half of her face with her tail, only revealing a pair of clear and bright eyes.

Seeing the little fox blush, Remy became interested. Even when Mei Xue was video chatting with her in the bathroom, she seemed calm and composed. How could she blush over such a small thing? This little fox's sense of shame seems to be different from that of normal people.

"We've arrived at Rhodes Island?"

"Yes, I arrived yesterday. This is my bedroom. Since there is no private bathroom, they assigned me the dormitory across the street as well."

It's clear that Rhodes Island dotes on Mei Xue to the extreme. Even if Mei Xue doesn't say anything, they will consider everything carefully. The dormitory across the street was also renovated today.

Are you getting used to life here?

"It's great, the people on Rhodes Island are very friendly."

Mei Xue hugged his tail and rubbed against him gently. Although he had only been there for a few days, Rhodes Island felt more gentle to him than Integration, and it also felt like home.

"However, I'm not quite used to everyone's enthusiasm yet. I always subconsciously keep my distance from people. Will that make them feel bad?"

"So, social anxiety disorder?"

“Yes, Kal'tsit said it’s because I still have psychological trauma.”

Even through the screen, Mei Xue's momentary dimming of her eyes did not escape Remian's notice; she keenly realized that this was a topic best left unmentioned.

"But Meixue, you don't dislike them, right?"

"Well, but... I'm worried they'll eat me. Even though I know they won't, I'm still worried about the possibility."

The little fox hugged his tail even tighter, which gave him a sense of security. At this moment, none of the people he trusted were around him, and only his tail was something his heart subconsciously wanted to rely on.

It used to be fine. When he was at work, Exusiai and the others were there, and when he came home, Chen Huijie was there, so Mei Xue never lacked a sense of security. But now he always feels that his surroundings are not safe. When the room is too spacious, he always worries that something might rush from around him.

"Meixue, are you afraid of me?"

"Of course I'm not afraid."

"I can rest assured that."

Remy on the screen pretended to breathe a sigh of relief, then gave the little fox a gentle and tolerant smile again.

"That way, when we meet, you can hug me, right?"

"I will definitely run and jump into my sister's arms when the time comes."

The little fox seemed to be in a better mood. Remy kept trying to guide his mind out of that shadow. She knew that the more you try not to remember something, the more likely you are to get caught up in it. In comparison, diverting his attention like this was more effective.

"Is that a cake on your bedside table?"

Mei Xue's communicator has a good wide-angle lens, and Remian can see a cake-like object on the little fox's bedside table.

The reason it's described as similar is that even though Remian comes from Lateran, a country known for its abundance of desserts, she really couldn't understand how this thing was made. The color of the dish made her wonder if it was some kind of culinary disaster.

"Yes, this was made by a lady named Blue Poison. Although it looks a bit strange, it tastes very good."

In fact, Mei Xue was startled when he first ate this cake, but Ling Lan assured him that there was no danger, so he tried a bite and then fell in love with it.

"...Mei Xue, have you considered settling down somewhere in the future?"

"Not yet. I don't know where I should go or where I should live in the future."

"In that case, why don't you consider coming to Lateran? If you come, I can make you desserts for the rest of my life."

After saying this, Remien couldn't help but cover her face, which was unsurprisingly very hot. After all, among the Sarkaz, being willing to make desserts for someone for a lifetime was equivalent to the most sincere confession.

Perhaps because she had been soaking for too long, she blurted out those words without thinking, which was really too hasty.

These words struck a chord with Mei Xue, and the little fox's eyes almost sparkled.

"That sounds great!"

"Yes, so remember to come again if you have the chance."

"it is good!"

"Okay then, I'll wipe myself down first. After you finish eating the cake, you should go wash up too. Good kids shouldn't stay up late, or they won't grow tall."

These words were quite damaging to Mei Xue. The little fox already had a lot of complaints about his height. After thinking about it carefully for a while, he realized that he hadn't slept well for many nights and had been playing with his sisters until very late before going to bed.

"No wonder I'm not tall!"

Having come to this conclusion, Mei Xue decided to reorganize her daily routine and make sure to go to bed early from now on.

"Then I'll hang up now."

Despite saying that, Remy deliberately stood up from the bathtub. The communicator's camera swept across her body as if by chance, causing a flash of snow-white light to appear in Mei Xue's eyes for a moment.

Goodbye, sister~

Of course, for Mei Xue now, it was just a glance. The little fox wouldn't have any wicked thoughts. She was only concerned with finishing the cake and taking a bath. Last night, Chen Huijie slept with her, but tonight she would really have to crawl into bed by herself.

Just as Mei Xue was making a phone call, Ling Lan in room 403 next door was looking at Wu Lian and Ifrit, who had come to visit, with a headache.

Originally, Linglan planned to finish her meal, change into a pretty dress, and then go to Meixue's place to chat and have some snacks, and then naturally spend a wonderful night together. But who would have thought that Wulian would come to visit?

The problem was that the two of them were using the excuse of celebrating moving into a new dormitory, and Suzuran had no idea how to refuse them.

"Sister Wu Lian, what are you looking at?"

Lily noticed that Wulian and Ifrit had been observing their surroundings ever since they entered.

"...I heard you found a boyfriend, where is he?"

Wu Lian's words immediately silenced Ling Lan and Ifrit. Goodness, you really don't mince words at all. Isn't that a bit too direct?

"Mei Xue and I are not in that kind of relationship."

(Of course, it's even closer than that relationship)

Silently remarking this to herself, Linglan couldn't help but blush. Although she and Rosemary had already overpowered Meixue several times, Wulian and Ifrit were still her best friends, and discussing such matters still made her feel rather shy.

"Are you not boyfriend and girlfriend, or are you not living together?"

"neither."

Linglan quickly shook her head. Even if Meixue had lost his memory, he was still Amiya's fiancé. Linglan wasn't that desperate to steal a man from that little rabbit. At least she couldn't let others think that she was the one who took the initiative. Only if Meixue took the initiative could everyone be speechless. No matter what, Amiya couldn't possibly do anything to Meixue.

"How about introducing us sometime?"

It was Ifrit who said this. Actually, she and Wulian didn't come as a team; they just happened to run into each other. She really didn't expect this guy to ask so rudely.

However, Ifrit's visit this time was not for the sake of the visit itself. To put it bluntly, she was also here under the pretext of looking for Lily of the Valley to see Mei Xue. Saria had been talking about her all day, but she just wouldn't come to see the little fox. Ifrit couldn't understand what she was thinking.

"Well... okay, I'll go next door and call out to see if Brother Meixue is home."

"Next door, right? Wow!"

Before Suzuran could finish speaking, Ifrit got up and ran out. Her speed stunned Suzuran. She felt that Ifrit had planned this all along.

With the only one who was in the way gone, Wu Lian simply stared at Ling Lan with her pink eyes and made an explosive statement.

"You slept with him?"

"!!"

These words really startled Linglan so much that her tail bristled. She quickly shook her head to indicate that there was no such thing, but Wulian did not ask any further questions. She simply tossed aside the tattered doll in her hand and started chatting casually with Linglan, asking some questions related to Meixue.

Because she was really startled just now, Linglan felt that there was nothing left to hide about Wulian's remaining questions. For example, Meixue's favorite food is apples, she likes to curl up in a ball when she sleeps, she likes to sing when she takes a bath, and she is so confused in the first ten minutes after waking up in the morning that she even puts on the wrong shoes.

Soon after, Ifrit returned, and judging from her somewhat displeased expression, it was clear that she hadn't found Mei Xue.

"Not here?"

"Yes, but the light is on."

"They're probably taking a shower. In that case, they'd usually be in room 405 across the street, which is also Mei Xue's dorm. It's usually used for showering and storing things, so it's like separating out the bedroom."

"You seem to know quite a lot."

Ifrit pondered that Linglan seemed to know quite a bit about Meixue's living situation, which suggested their relationship was more than just casual. Hmm... she decided to call Meixue "brother" after all. If she called Meixue "dad," then she might have to call Linglan "mom" in the future.

"Well... after all, we live next door, so we have to keep in touch."

Linglan quickly chuckled, then helplessly hoped that her two best friends would go back to sleep soon. If Meixue was really taking a shower, she would have to sleep alone if it got any later.

"Speaking of which, I'd like to sleep here tonight, is that alright?"

(Can't!)

Linglan shouted in her heart, but on the surface she could only smile and nod in agreement. She didn't want her best friends to notice anything was wrong, after all, she wasn't old enough to get married yet, and she couldn't expose what she had done.

"Oh, I want some too. Linglan, we haven't slept together in so long since you moved here."
