Talulah, I'm still a child.

Ifrit had originally thought that she wouldn't have to study anymore after arriving at Rhodes Island, but she didn't expect that after arriving here, she would not only have to deal with Himeru's nagging, but also get hit on the head by Saria if she didn't finish her homework, which made her depressed for a long time.

However, although the white coats on Rhodes Island were an eyesore, they were still much better than those guys at Rhine Lab. At least they wouldn't make her do all sorts of excruciating experiments... Ugh, just thinking about that made Ifrit's body involuntarily start to ache.

(Does it hurt? Does it ache? Then why not vent your anger? Why not...)

The voice in her head was quickly suppressed. Ifrit knew that the balloon monster couldn't do anything to her. A portion of Mei Xue's blood was flowing in her body, and even her level of Oripathy spread more slowly than that of a normal infected person.

As that arrogant Kal'tsit once said, Saria's actions both saved Ifrit and, in a way, harmed her, but at least for now, Ifrit is doing well.

"That's all for today. Remember to finish your homework when you get home."

Because it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, even Ifrit and the others only needed to attend half a day of classes. After the teacher left, she originally wanted to get up and go back to find Saria, but she noticed that Wulian's expression was not very good.

Come to think of it, although Wu Lian usually appears very aloof, she mostly hangs out with Linglan Popka and the others, and rarely stands there silently like this. It seems like she's been preoccupied since yesterday.

"Lily of the Valley, are you going to find that girl named Mei Xue?"

Seeing Linglan and Rosemary whispering to each other, Wulian raised an eyebrow and stepped forward. Linglan nodded in agreement. In fact, after discussing it with Rosemary last night, the two of them planned to go to the little fox for some psychological counseling.

"Sister Wu Lian, you're not going too, are you?"

"I'm going."

"But you..."

Linglan originally wanted to say that you and Meixue don't know each other either, but Wulian's eyes seemed unexpectedly resolute, so she couldn't refuse directly. However, with Wulian present, if she didn't suppress Meixue, some things would be difficult to discuss.

Wu Lian twitched her ears and glanced at the trembling little Mo Ti at her feet. She wondered what the little guy had seen, as he had been like this since yesterday morning.

As for how well she knows Mei Xue? Laughable, Wu Lian knows him inside and out.

"Hey, I'll go with you guys too!"

Ifrit hurriedly followed. She hadn't actually met Mei Xue yet, so this was a good opportunity to get to know her and see what kind of person Saria was thinking about all the time.

Of course, if possible, Ifrit also plans to invite Mei Xue to visit her. Saria has been struggling with whether or not to meet the little fox for a long time without reaching a conclusion, so it would be better to let Ifrit give her a helping hand.

So a group of girls, carrying their schoolbags, headed in a grand procession towards Mei Xue's dormitory.

Meanwhile, in Mei Xue's dormitory, the little fox who had rushed back took out a communicator, crawled into her bed, pressed the call button, and waited quietly for the other end of the line to connect.

Exusiai's previous words had truly made the little fox deeply worried about Remian's current situation. Although he knew that Remian was in a nursing home and had health problems, he did not expect it to be so serious, and he was really frightened.

"No call connected..."

Mei Xue hugged his tail anxiously. In the past, when he called, the call was always answered instantly, and there was never any problem with the call not connecting. This made him even more worried about Remian's health.

So the little fox made several more calls, but none of them went through. Mei Xue nervously bit her tail. She decided to try one last time and made a video call.

Lying in a hospital bed in a sanatorium far away in Lateran, the incessant ringing of the phone was irritating Remien. Last night, the photo that Mei Xue sent her was so alluring that she had a wonderful dream that she couldn't talk about, and accidentally kicked off the blanket, which caused her to catch a cold. Now her head was spinning.

She had planned to take her medicine, cover herself with the blanket, and sleep to work up a sweat, but she didn't expect someone to call. Her head was still a little groggy from just waking up, but Remien instantly woke up after picking up the communicator and seeing who it was.

She quickly picked up the mirror by her bedside and glanced at herself. Only after confirming that her appearance was acceptable did she answer the phone. Both Remy and Meixue breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister Remy Ann!"

The little fox seemed very excited. He felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders the moment the video call connected, but his worries returned when he saw Remian.

The screen showed Remian looking very unwell, her whole body looking haggard as if she had just woken up, with beads of sweat on her face and neck, and her voice was hoarse. Clearly, her condition was much worse than before.

"Yes, it's me... Sorry, Mei Xue, my voice is a little hoarse for now, cough cough."

Although a cold isn't a serious illness, it's certainly uncomfortable. Remian felt dizzy and lightheaded, and the halo above her head felt as heavy as lead. She even lacked the strength to hold the communicator.

"How is your sister's health?"

"...it can't get any worse than before."

Remien shook her head with a wry smile. She remembered that she had been in a coma for a long time. When she woke up, she found that she had lost the ability to walk. During that time, she even had thoughts of self-destruction. She only recovered later.

Compared to that, this minor cold is nothing.

But these words had a different meaning when they reached Mei Xue's ears. The little fox was extremely nervous, twitching its ears as if it wanted to say something, but it didn't know how to speak.

As someone who had also experienced terrible things, Mei Xue knew very well that some things were better left unsaid. After thinking for a moment, the little fox decided to talk about something else.

"Sister, what's fun to do in Laterano?"

"Hmm... of course there are, like Bomberman, shooting balloons, blowing up walls..."

Remien gave a series of examples, but the little fox listened blankly. Why were they all explosive projects? No, this wasn't the time to worry about that.

"Why are you asking all this all of a sudden, Mei Xue? Are you coming to Laterano?"

"Yeah, I'm thinking of going there to play sometime in a while."

The little fox nodded, but actually, he could put aside the snacks and toys; what he cared about most was Remian's health.

"In that case, I'll show you around properly."

A beautiful smile appeared on Remien's pale face. She seemed to remember something, but couldn't quite put her finger on it. She glanced at her unresponsive legs and felt a pang of bitterness in her heart.

However, for Mei Xue now, any move Remian made would make him subconsciously think in some unpleasant direction. The little fox noticed the sadness in her eyes, gently biting his tail, not knowing what to say.

"elder sister?"

"Well, what happened?"

"I like you."

The little fox lay on the pillow and said those words calmly and naturally, then nodded to himself as if confirming what he had just said.

Remy was a little stunned by the little fox's words on the other end of the phone. She couldn't understand why the little fox would suddenly say such a thing. Could it be that she had suddenly gone through puberty and was thinking about how good her older sister was?

"Well, I have some things to do, so I'll stop here for now, sister. Take care of your health, get plenty of rest, don't stay up late, and remember to eat..."

This was the first time Mei Xue had ever been so long-winded. She gave many instructions before stopping, and then hung up the call without waiting for Lei Muan's reply.

After finishing the call, the little fox already had her own answer in her heart. She put away the communicator, threw off the covers, jumped out of bed, put on her sneakers, and ran to find Kal'tsit.

Looking at the screen that suddenly went black, Remy, whose mind wasn't working too well because of a cold, didn't notice anything unusual, but the more she thought about it, the stranger it seemed.

First of all, Mei Xue never calls me directly. She usually sends a message to check if I'm online or have time. Little Fox doesn't want to disturb her good sister's rest or busyness.

Secondly, the little fox seemed very nervous today, as if he was very concerned about her health, but Remian had told him before that it was just that her legs were not very strong, not that she had a terminal illness...

"Oh, I remember now!"

Remian suddenly realized that she had exaggerated her condition in the letter a while ago in order to get Exusiai to bring Meixue home as soon as possible. However, she only said that her condition had worsened and that she had only been to the emergency room frequently. It was not like she had been blown up by a bomb. What exactly did Xiaole tell Meixue?

"But now that Mei Xue is coming here, isn't that a good thing?"

Now Remy understood. It must have been her good sister who embellished the story and told it to Mei Xue, causing the little fox to misunderstand and call her just now to confirm the situation.

As it happened, Remi'an caught a cold, which caused the little fox's misunderstanding to not only be taken as true, but to worsen. She was worried about her older sister, so she wanted to come and see her as soon as possible.

"I feel a little guilty... I'll make it up to him properly after I see Meixue."

If she were to lie to her own sister, Remy would not only feel no guilt, she might even enjoy it. But lying to Mei Xue... really, anyone would feel guilty. However, lying to someone in bed doesn't count, because that's when it's consensual. Lying? That's more like coaxing.

When my good sister arrives with Mei Xue, I'll find a reason to send her away. Mei Xue can have whatever compensation she wants. However, Remian will be less mobile then, so Mei Xue will have to move around more on her own.

Anyway, putting everything else aside, the little fox definitely can't escape her grasp. Next, once she recovers from her cold, she'll have to figure out how to arrange Mostima's arrival. If Remian isn't mistaken, the other party will most likely come back with Mei Xue. Coincidentally, there are some things she needs to explain to her properly.

At this moment, Mei Xue was unaware that he had fallen into Remian's trap. He was just looking for Kal'tsit's whereabouts. The Doctor should be easier to talk to, but as for Lin Qingyan... to be honest, the little fox didn't intend to listen to her arrangements. It wasn't that Mei Xue disliked her, but for some reason, he just didn't want to listen to her.

"Yes, Ifrit's mental state and condition have gradually stabilized, we..."

Kal'tsit and Himeru were discussing the follow-up treatment plan for Ifrit. Although she could punch through the wall of Rhodes Island, that did not prevent Saria from being a good doctor.

Halfway through their conversation, Kal'tsit suddenly noticed a white, pointed object emerging from her doorway. Seeing her stop, Himeru followed her gaze.

Two hands gripped the doorframe, and Mei Xue cautiously peeked out, her clear blue eyes warily scanning the room before meeting the eyes of Kal'tsit and Hemer.

Realizing she might have been discovered, Mei Xue slowly withdrew her head, pretending nothing had happened. Since Kal'tsit seemed busy, the little fox decided to go find the Doctor first.

Well, I was mainly scared. After all, Kal'tsit looked like a very serious person, and her eyes had a kind of intimidating power that made the little fox want to hug her tail and shrink into a ball. The little fox didn't dare to say that she would agree to her request.

"Since you're already here, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Kal'tsit's voice came from behind Mei Xue, and she grabbed his tail before the little fox could react.

"I...I suddenly remembered that I still need to go to Sister A-Neng to send a package."

"You think I'd believe you? When you lied that time, weren't you just wagging your tails around haphazardly?"

Ignoring Mei Xue's struggles, Kal'tsit dragged him into her office, and then soon after pushed Himer out.

"Excuse me, we have some personal matters to discuss."

After saying that, Kal'tsit closed the door and then skillfully pulled down the curtains and door curtains, completely separating the inside from the outside. It was clear that she had done this many times before.

Isn't this XP working normally? (Image)

Chapter 201 Kal'tsit finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"So, you want to go to Laterano?"

Kal'tsit took a sip of hot tea and sat in the chair, letting Mei Xue massage her shoulders and legs. The little fox had done this kind of thing many times before. Back then, he often massaged the Doctor and Theresa. Although he ended up doing it himself, it seems that he hadn't forgotten even after losing his memory. He was surprisingly skilled at it.

"Mmm, is that okay?"

The little fox gently leaned against Kal'tsit's back, its tail lightly patting her legs, and its hands gently massaging her shoulders. Kal'tsit's shoulders were very stiff, probably due to long hours of office work.

As Mei Xue spoke, she felt a little hopeful, because she thought that although Kal'tsit seemed cold and unapproachable, she should be a nice person. The little fox had massaged her for a while earlier, so she shouldn't refuse, right?

Although this wasn't the first time, every time Mei Xue leaned against her, Kal'tsit's thoughts would unconsciously drift in a certain direction, a direction that was hard to put into words.

Upon careful recollection, she realized that it was because of Mei Xue's inappropriate and intimate contact that she ultimately couldn't resist harming the little fox.

"Of course not."

Feeling Mei Xue's soft, delicate body leaning against her, and occasionally catching the scent of the little fox, Kal'tsit suppressed the terrible thoughts in her mind and ruthlessly declared her conclusion.

Although this was an expected answer, Mei Xue was still disappointed. The little fox was a little unhappy and obediently rubbed against Kal'tsit's neck with its ears drooping.

Why?

"Because it's too dangerous. Laterano is too far from here, and Rhodes Island is still within Ursus territory. If something happens to you..."

That's what she said, but Kal'tsit knew that Mei Xue was unlikely to have any accidents now. He could probably walk all the way to Laterano even with his eyes closed. However, she was still a little worried because Mei Xue had been sent to that unfamiliar place just because of a letter from Exusiai.

Most importantly, what if this little fox starts flirting with other women again? Kal'tsit's hair is already green enough.

"I promise I won't get hurt!"
