Talulah, I'm still a child.

At first glance, she didn't dislike Mei Xue. Mei Xue's appearance could give him a good impression in front of any stranger. However, Chen Huijie was somewhat worried. She didn't have time to take care of another child. The senior superintendent of the Guard Bureau was already very busy, not to mention that Chen Huijie herself was a workaholic. What if she didn't raise the child well or let him go astray in three years?

However, since the words had already been spoken, she couldn't go back on her word. Besides, the tragic situation of the Reunion Movement that Talulah had just described made Chen Huijie want to take out money to help them. She couldn't let this child become a homeless orphan. Fortunately, Mei Xue was not infected, otherwise it would have been even more difficult.

"Meixue, remember not to cause trouble for Sister Chen, understand?"

"Ah."

The little fox nodded. How could he not know? When they arrived, Mei Xue and Miss Black Snake had already considered all sorts of possibilities, including the possibility that Chen Huijie might not agree to the matter at all.

"Then let's make a pinky promise, Meixue. Wait three or four years, and I will definitely come to pick you up."

Talu stretched out his little finger, and the little fox imitated him. He felt that this scene was familiar, and even these words seemed to have been heard somewhere before, but he just couldn't remember where.

"No matter how long it takes, Meixue will always wait for her sister to come."

Mei Xue wagged his tail. He didn't care how many years it was. Three or four years was as long as ten or twenty years for the little fox, but as long as he could wait until the end, that was enough.

"Come, make a pinky promise, a hundred... no, ten thousand years, and anyone who goes back on their word will have to swallow a thousand blades."

The little fox followed suit, but he had already made up his mind. If his sister really went back on her word, he would eat the thousand blades she had stabbed. How could Mei Xue let her sister suffer like that? He knew that kind of pain better than anyone, so it wouldn't matter if it happened again. Well, that was on the condition that it was for his sister's sake. Otherwise, it would be better to avoid the pain if possible.

After the oath was finished, Talulah took a piece of paper from her pocket and handed it to Meixue.

"Don't open it now, wait until I leave before you look at it."

"Ah."

"Then you should go to the side first, so you don't get hurt later."

First, let the little fox go to a safe corner. Talulah picked up her greatsword and looked at Chen Huijie. At this time, Alina should also take out Koschei's legacy. In order to make this play more realistic, Talulah can also take the opportunity to check whether her good sister has made any progress over the years.

"Come on, Huijie, let me see how much Wei Yanwu has taught you."

"Let me see how much you've improved over the years."

As soon as she finished speaking, the two sisters drew their swords at the same time. Mei Xue and the Yetis just watched as the two sisters engaged in a swordsmanship sparring match. Talulah's swordsmanship was clearly not as refined as Chen Huijie's, but she had extremely strong talent and made up for her lack of swordsmanship by relying on her extraordinary reaction speed.

The little fox was quite engrossed in watching Chen Huijie's swordsmanship, which was particularly eye-catching. The little fox's tail swayed with his gaze, and he stared at the sword in Chen Huijie's hand without blinking. Suddenly, he heard someone's voice in his ear.

(Do you want me to teach you?)

But it was just an auditory hallucination. The little fox gave some food to each of her two older brothers, and then waited obediently for her sister to leave.

The swordsmanship duel ended in a draw, with both sides becoming much more restrained. Talulah walked up to Mei Xue, put down her sword, and picked him up.

"wait for me."

"Ah."

"Remember to think of me."

"Will do."

"How about a kiss?"

The little fox lowered his head and gently kissed Talulah on the forehead, and she returned the kiss. The siblings embraced each other and waited for their next meeting.

Chapter 37 Chen Huijie will never collude with Talulah.

At 7 p.m., in the lobby of the Lungmen Guard Bureau, five people were sitting on a row of benches, but all seven seats were occupied. The little fox looked at his fluffy tail and for the first time felt that it was a bit of a hindrance, because it meant that he was taking up three seats by himself.

What, are you finding me annoying?

The little fox immediately shook his head at the sound of Miss Black Snake's voice. How could he possibly dislike Miss Black Snake? Now that Talulah and the others had all left, only she was still with him, and he needed Miss Black Snake's help with many things.

The main problem is that there are only seven seats in this row, and Mei Xue is taking up three of them, so there's no way for her to keep her distance from the people next to her. This is quite uncomfortable for the somewhat socially awkward and introverted little fox, but she can't just get up and sit on the opposite side, as that would be even more disrespectful.

"Sigh, this month is doomed again."

The Sakota girl with short, burgundy hair sighed, then looked at the two Ruperts and the Plump Hoof beside her, all of whom were girls.

"So who's going to pay the fine later?"

"Needless to say, it's a croissant, of course."

The blonde Lupo girl answered without hesitation, while the woman with the voluptuous hoof who was called by her code name paused for a moment, then pointed incredulously at herself.

"Why me? You've never had your card deducted before, have you?"

"Because it can only be you. Exia's driver's license hasn't arrived yet, and she just finished losing 12 points in Texas. As for me? I don't have a driver's license at all. If the police find out that I was driving the car, then we can forget about this car."

The little fox next to her overheard the names of the three older sisters. For some reason, when she heard Exusiai, she thought of the word "gua sha" (a traditional Chinese medicine technique for scraping skin); when she heard Texas, she thought of crispy skin; and when she heard Croissant, she subconsciously felt hungry. Mei Xue touched her lower abdomen and realized that she hadn't eaten lunch or dinner yet.

"My entire salary for this month is gone. I can't even afford an apple, let alone an apple pie."

Exusiai was utterly devastated. She should have known better than to show off during the high-speed chase with the interceptors. To make matters worse, Croissant had said, "Who do you think I am? Move the car over there!" As a result, Sora actually moved the car over there, causing a traffic accident. The car was impounded, she was detained, and she hadn't even had dinner yet.

Most importantly, this accident damaged the goods, and according to regulations, they have to pay compensation at the original price. They will definitely be the first to pay, and even if the boss will cover the bulk of the cost, they can forget about getting their wages this month.

Just when Exusiai was feeling desperate, she found that four bright red apples had appeared beside her without her noticing. However, it was actually quite easy to guess whose they were.

With a "crunch," the little fox gently bit off a piece of apple, then chewed it quietly to avoid attracting anyone's attention. However, his appearance was enough to draw attention. Although the internal organization hadn't said much about it, Mei Xue truly lived up to the legends of his predecessors who were said to bring ruin to the country. His face was indeed easy to look away from. However, the little fox's slightly tattered clothes clashed with his appearance.

Actually, Mei Xue wasn't just eating; he was also paying attention to Exusiai's reaction. When he heard the older sister say that she couldn't even afford apples, the little fox subconsciously felt sympathy, which is why he quietly gave her a few.

"This...is it for me?"

Looking at the half-eaten apple in Mei Xue's hand, Exusiai asked with some confusion. They had noticed the little fox when they arrived, but hadn't paid much attention to the child.

"Ah."

Mei Xue responded softly, then continued munching on her apple, still wary. Both Talulah and Alina had told her to be careful of strangers, and the little fox herself had social anxiety. Although she could sense that these older women weren't bad people, it was really unnecessary for Mei Xue to talk to them much.

"Thank you so much! But how much does this cost?"

"It's free."

The little fox's first thought was that someone who likes to eat apples probably isn't a bad person. He was still waiting for Chen Huijie to finish dealing with things. Miss Black Snake was right; Sister Chen was indeed quite busy. So, the little fox had already taken the time to mail the letter addressed to Kashina. Although he didn't know who Kashina was, he trusted Miss Black Snake's decision.

Sister Chen is a good person. The little fox gently wagged its tail. Chen Huijie said that she would first register a legal identity for him, and then she would have to take a day off. Firstly, she would take Meixue to familiarize herself with the living environment tomorrow and help buy some daily necessities. Secondly, she would also see if she could find a school for the little fox to attend.

[Going to class, huh? Come to think of it, Kashina is a teacher, which makes perfect sense.]

Miss Black Snake muttered to herself, comparing the current Lungmen with the one Koschie remembered. She found they were almost identical. Since Talulah and the others were gone, and Chen Huijie was too busy with work to spend time with her, then the little fox would be hers, wouldn't she? That would be great.

While fantasizing about the future days of being close to the little fox, Black Snake was also planning how to trick Kashena. No matter what, that woman was Black Snake, and her IQ couldn't be low. Expecting Mei Xue to deceive her was no better than expecting her to give herself away.

Just as Exusiai and the others were discussing who would pick up the car later, Chen Huijie, who had finished the formalities for Mei Xue, also came out. Using the special passage that senior superintendents could use, it was not too difficult to get the documents for the little fox.

"Meixue, let's go."

Seeing five people sitting on a row of chairs, all munching on apples, Chen Huijie paused for a moment before reaching out to the little fox.

"Ah."

Mei Xue glanced at her somewhat dirty hands and still didn't dare to reach out and shake hands with Chen Huijie. However, out of politeness, she placed her tail on Chen Huijie's hand, which was a way of expressing trust. But Chen Huijie knew that this was proof of the distance between her and the little fox.

"Sister, I..."

"From now on, you will live with me."

The little fox's tail felt wonderful, soft and warm. Now Chen Huijie understood why Talulah loved hugging him so much. However, the thought that her sister had such a hobby left Chen Huijie speechless. Even if Mei Xue waited another three years, she wouldn't be that old. It was truly baffling.

Chen Huijie couldn't help but laugh when she remembered Talulah repeatedly telling her things like, "Little fox is mine, you're not allowed to take it from me." She didn't like Mei Xue's type, so why would she try to take her from Talulah?

Chen Huijie gently placed her hand on Mei Xue's head. From today onwards, this little fox would be her younger brother, and she wouldn't be like Talulah.

Anyway, I can't possibly go along with Talulah's ways, otherwise I might as well just go to jail myself.

Chapter 38 The Little Fox's Part-Time Job Request

Although she has always had her own residence, Chen Huijie lives in the staff dormitory more often for the convenience of her work. This has resulted in her house looking somewhat unclean and a bit poor.

Well, even Chen Huijie herself couldn't stand the above statement. After all, she only came back once every two weeks and stayed for only one day each time. It seemed like there wasn't even any food at home. As for furniture, there was nothing to speak of: a sofa, a coffee table, a few stools, and then just a bed and a wardrobe.

"This one……"

Looking at her home, which even a thief would have to shed tears and give her some money to help him out, Chen Huijie suddenly had an urge to smash her head against a wall and die. Why hadn't she decorated the house? Well, she had forgotten that she didn't know how to do those things.

But the most crucial thing was Mei Xue. After seeing the state of Sister Chen's home, the little fox couldn't help but feel deep sympathy for her. Her life was even more miserable than that of the integrated one. Sister Talulah had previously said that Sister Chen was now a high-ranking official. Faced with the deep concern and sympathy in Mei Xue's eyes, Chen Huijie originally intended to explain her family situation, but the little fox only gently tugged at her clothes.

"Sister, Meixue can sleep on the floor tonight. Hmm... I'll go earn money tomorrow, it's okay."

The little fox's words successfully broke Chen Huijie's defenses. Her lips twitched, and she didn't know what to say. This child was so sensible that it was heartbreaking, but she also seemed to be bad at expressing herself.

[Oh dear, this environment is truly appalling. For a high-ranking superintendent of the Imperial Guard to be reduced to this state of poverty, Chen Huijie seems like a decent person.]

Miss Black Snake was quite generous with her comments. Although it was a bit dirty, it showed Chen Huijie's character. It's just that the little fox has to suffer a bit. It seems that Chen Huijie still can't take Mei Xue with her. We can only hope that the messenger will get Kashena to see the letter soon, so that the little fox will really have someone to take care of.

"Meixue, the reason this place is like this is because my sister usually lives in the staff dormitory. But considering that this place is closer to the school, how about we move here tomorrow?"

"Okay, I'll listen to my sister."

The little fox had no problem making a living, but he still planned to do something to earn money to help support his family. Sister Chen's life was so miserable that the little fox couldn't bear to see it anymore, and he couldn't just take advantage of her for free. It seemed that Talulah hadn't given Chen Huijie any money for the little fox's living expenses at all.

It's okay, let's go out and look for jobs tomorrow.

Miss Black Snake comforted the little fox. In fact, with Mei Xue's abilities, she could easily print money with her big tail, but that would not serve the purpose of training the little fox. It is not advisable to gain something for nothing, and it is also unreasonable to get so much money for no reason. Miss Black Snake did not want the little fox to become a useless person.

"By the way, Meixue, what would you like to eat?"

"Mei Xue brought her own food."

The little fox wagged its tail, then reached into its tail and pulled out a big apple, along with a big watermelon, right in front of Chen Huijie.

"Does my sister want some?"

"..."

Looking at the fruits and vegetables in front of her, Chen Huijie couldn't help but fall into thought. She looked at the little fox's three big tails, which she had touched earlier. They weren't decorations, so how did they get put in and taken out?

"Is that all?"

"No, my sister said we can get new ones after we finish eating."

Mei Xue shook her fox ears. The little fox only ate vegetables and especially loved apples, but he didn't care what others ate.

"Mei Xue, what do you put in your tail?"

This is indeed a question worth pondering. The little fox frowned. In fact, he didn't know what else was in his tail besides what he had put in there; he could only occasionally take out some strange things.

Did you bring your clothes?

"Yes, and there are also blankets and sheets."
