Talulah, I'm still a child.

"Meixue, your sister is back. Are you up yet?"

Chen Huijie opened the door, and a fragrant aroma of food wafted out. She frowned and fell into thought. If it weren't for the fact that the room layout was exactly the same, she would have wondered if she had entered the wrong room. After all, although she had arranged a lot of things yesterday, and the furniture was all new, she didn't remember buying any groceries. In fact, there wasn't even a kitchen knife in the house.

"Sister, welcome back~"

Hearing the commotion, the little fox came running out of the kitchen in her slippers, holding Chen Huijie's Crimson Cloud Sword in her hand, which was still unsheathed.

"..."

"Breakfast is ready, sister, come and eat."

The little fox wagged its tail proudly, its ears twitching as if it were showing off its accomplishment. Looking at the Crimson Sky Sword in its hand, Chen Huijie suddenly felt a deep sense of defeat. She put the things in her hand aside and gently placed her hand on Mei Xue's head to rub it, hoping to gain some comfort.

"Meixue, how did you pull it out?"

It's really like seeing Hoshiguma in broad daylight. Chen Huijie still remembers how she practiced swordsmanship for three years, only to get the sword Chixiao unsheathed for a moment. The magical torrent released in that instant was enough to cut everything within a ten-meter radius. Even now, she still can't fully control Chixiao. But how come this sword is so obedient in the little fox's hands?

“Meixue didn’t pull it out; she couldn’t even reach it.”

The little fox twitched its ears and pointed to the sword rack on the wall. Chi Xiao's sword sheath was still on it, and given its height, it would have to jump very high to reach it.

"I was planning to cook for my sister, but I couldn't find a kitchen knife, and then it popped out by itself."

Mei Xue still remembers that she was just worried about not being able to find a kitchen knife to cut vegetables, but unexpectedly, Chi Xiao fell to the ground. The little fox just made do with it and even cleaned it properly. The sword was very sharp and worked well for cutting potatoes. The little fox even wanted to get one for himself, but it seems that this sword cannot be copied. Maybe it is special.

"...You used Chixiao to cut vegetables?"

"correct."

Seeing the little fox nod slightly, Chen Huijie suddenly felt a wave of dizziness. Was this the difference between people? She had said something was wrong yesterday. Wei Yanwu had said that the forging materials of Chixiao were very special and possessed a certain degree of spirituality, but Chen Huijie never believed such a thing. Now it seemed that she was unworthy of it.

Regardless, Chen Huijie couldn't skip the breakfast made by the little fox. Frustrated, she stuffed Chixiao back into its sheath, wrapped it with bandages, and tossed it aside. She then began to enjoy the breakfast the little fox had prepared. As everyone knows, Mei Xue doesn't eat meat, and the little fox also dislikes cutting meat. However, Alina had taught her well that if you can't see, you're not afraid. So, Mei Xue always covered her eyes when cooking, and as long as Miss Black Snake reminded her, that was enough.

"Sister, does it taste good? Is there too much salt and oil?"

"No, rather, they're all just right. Meixue, your cooking is excellent."

"Hehe~ because I usually make Talulah's breakfast."

The little fox wagged its tail proudly after being praised. Chen Huijie suddenly felt that the food in her mouth was not very delicious anymore. She felt like punching Talulah, but for now she could only turn her jealousy into appetite and finish all the food.

The little fox was still munching on an apple while watching TV. He had missed the latest episode of Kamen Rider, which was a pity, but luckily a new Ultraman series was airing. To the little fox, they were both equally enjoyable. He liked both Ultraman and Kamen Rider. If he could, the little fox would like to transform, but unfortunately, he didn't even have a belt or a transformation device.

Don't be disappointed, you'll have the money to buy it next month, right?

Miss Black Snake comforted Mei Xue, saying that no matter how sensible this fox was, it couldn't change the fact that he was still a boy. Not to mention Mei Xue, there were many adults who liked this kind of thing too.

"Meixue, come here, let me show you a treasure."

After finishing her meal, Chen Huijie waved to the little fox, and Mei Xue immediately ran over with small steps, only to be hugged by Chen Huijie.

"What's wrong, sister?"

"Yeah, aren't you going to work at Penguin Logistics today? Wear this."

Chen Huijie opened the box and took out a long strap. She glanced at Mei Xue's whole body, noticing that she had something on her wrists and neck. In the end, she had no choice but to squat down and put the Rhodes Island-made suppressor on Mei Xue's thigh. It looked like a leg ring, and she felt a strange tingling sensation about it.

"This is something developed in collaboration between Lungmen and Rhodes Island. It can send me your vital signs and location information at any time. If you are in any danger, I will know where you are, so I can rush over to save you as soon as possible."

Reaching out to fiddle with the bell around the little fox's neck, Chen Huijie gently pinched his ear. She couldn't go against the little fox's own wishes, but she also couldn't put him in danger. As an older sister, she had to protect her younger brother; as a police superintendent, she had to protect the citizens. This was Chen Huijie's motto.

"This looks amazing!"

Mei Xue's big tail wagged happily. This was the first time he had received a gift from someone other than Talulah. The little fox was so happy that he didn't know what to say. He wanted to thank Chen Huijie but didn't know how.

"Treat me the same way you treat Talulah."

Chen Huijie knew what the little fox was thinking, after all, he could never hide his thoughts.

"Meixue understands."

Now the little fox knew how to properly get along with his Sister Chen. He gently reached out and cupped Chen Huijie's head, then leaned down and kissed Chen Huijie's lips as Talulah had taught him in his memory. They simply stayed close together for about ten seconds before separating.

"Thank you, sister~"

The little fox wagged its tail happily and smiled at Chen Huijie, its eyes filled with happiness and excitement, enough to win anyone's heart. At least dealing with Superintendent Chen would be no problem.

Somewhat incredulously, Chen Huijie touched her lips and glanced at the television. She remembered that Mei Xue loved watching Kamen Rider and Ultraman. Would buying the little fox a similar gift elicit a similar return gift?

Chapter 52 Chen Huijie's Prison-Style Attire

From the moment Exusiai saw Little Fox and Chen Huijie being all lovey-dovey yesterday, she knew that Mei Xue was destined to join Penguin Logistics. That way, at least Chen Sir wouldn't scold them in front of Little Fox, nor would he directly arrest them and send them to the Guard Bureau. Their lives would be much easier from now on.

"Sister, I'm going to work now~"

"Plum Blossom, take care and remember to be safe."

Chen Huijie watched the little fox get into Exusiai's car, then gave her a very threatening look, the kind that said, "If anything happens to my brother, you can expect to have your halo taken down and used as a lamp." Exusiai was so glared at that she almost stepped on the gas and crashed into a street lamp.

Fortunately, she was a good driver, otherwise she wouldn't have made it back alive today. Mei Xue wagged her tail slightly in the car. The space in this car was a bit cramped for her tail. The little fox could take up most of the back seat by herself. Fortunately, only Exusiai came to pick her up today.

"Sister A-Neng, where are Sister Texas and the others?"

"Oh, they had an upset stomach this morning, so it's just the two of us delivering today. I'll take you to order some custom-made clothes this afternoon."

Onboarding for Penguin Logistics isn't complicated. Once you sign the contract, you're one of us. There's no uniform requirement. As the Emperor says, "It's not like we're still in school," so Little Fox can start delivering packages on her first day.

But why did the other three people get food poisoning while Exusiai was fine? She said she didn't know, and that she didn't give them the laxatives anyway. How could she be angry because she was pushed into Inspector Chan's house by these people last night?

"Sister A-Neng, what should I do?"

"It's nothing. Just listen to me when the time comes. How much can your tail hold?"

"Hmm...it can hold a lot."

The little fox twitched its ears. It didn't know exactly how much it could put in the space of its tail, but there was definitely a lot.

"That's good. We'll go pick up the goods later. You can put them all in the tail. We can get things done this morning. I'll treat you to apple pie this afternoon."

Exusiai was overjoyed. Although Penguin Logistics mainly handles large orders, there are also some other less important goods to deliver. This truck simply cannot carry them all, and running back and forth to the bases is troublesome. With Mei Xue here, they can put everything in the tail and get it all done in one go.

What is apple pie?

"Hey, Meixue, haven't you ever tried it before?"

Looking at the little fox shaking its head in the back seat through the rearview mirror, Exusiai suddenly remembered what Chen Huijie had said last night: Mei Xue's previous living environment was quite terrible, and she definitely couldn't eat snacks or desserts.

"It's food made from apples. I think the apples you gave me, Meixue, would make a really delicious apple pie."

Listening to Exusiai's words, the little fox took out an apple from his tail. He had always eaten it directly and didn't even know what apple pie was. In the end, the little fox didn't have any memories of the past. The only thing he remembered was the name Mei Xue. Therefore, the world was completely unfamiliar to him. Just like now, although he had become colleagues with Exusiai, the little fox did not have complete trust in her.

"Does my sister want an apple?"

"Oh, give me one. We're colleagues starting today, so feel free to ask me anything you don't understand."

After taking the apple from the little fox and taking a bite, Exusiai felt completely refreshed. She stepped on the gas and sped off again, while the little fox wagged its tail and began to look forward to its first day of work.

——————————Time Divider————————————

Anyone could see that Chen Huijie was acting strangely today. She came in this morning and then went out again, and she even wrapped her beloved sword in bandages. Moreover, she kept glancing at the screen every now and then and would smile from time to time, just like a young girl who has just started dating and is waiting in front of her phone screen for her sweetheart to reply.

Listening to her colleagues' discussions, Xingxiong thought, "How could this be?" Chen Huijie dating is like Wei Yanwu not being afraid of his wife—it's simply impossible. But upon closer reflection, she realized that Chen Huijie wasn't young anymore and seemed to be at the age where she should be dating or even getting married. After thinking it over, Xingxiong shook her head and decided to open the door and find Chen Huijie herself. Then she discovered that she really was always staring at the computer screen, not working or playing games, and her hands weren't even on the keyboard.

(Looks like they're really in a relationship)

With a strange feeling, Hoshiguma carried the tea in and greeted Chen Huijie.

"Old Chen, are you alright?"

"Ah, I'm fine. What's wrong, Hoshiguma?"

After piling the files aside, Chen Huijie took a sip of the tea that Hoshiguma handed her, then glanced at her computer screen. It showed the little fox's physical condition and location; Exusiai was running around with the little fox. So far, everything was stable and there were no abnormalities, but Chen Huijie couldn't help but worry and kept checking on it.

"It's nothing, I just noticed you've been a bit out of sorts since this morning. Did you take the day off yesterday and go out with other people?"

Is it that obvious?

"It's quite obvious, it's just that... Actually, I can understand, after all, you're not young anymore, taking another day off is no big deal, go and spend more time with the other person, and strengthen your relationship."

Sometimes you can't be too obvious. Hoshiguma really didn't expect that Chen Huijie would actually fall in love one day. Wasn't it supposed to be that if marriage was a grave, then she would live forever? How come she's starting to chase after the ghost messengers begging to be reincarnated instead?

"I'd like to, but the kid said it's not necessary. He hopes I can focus more on my work and not worry too much about him."

"That child?"

Hoshiguma was taken aback. It sounded like the other person was quite a bit younger than Chen Huijie. Could they be a rare sibling relationship? Wow, Chen Huijie is quite the player. But then again, her assertive personality is indeed suited to taking the lead.

"Yes, I haven't introduced him to you yet, this is his picture."

Chen Huijie handed over her phone without even needing to unlock it. The screen saver was a picture of Mei Xue after she had just finished showering and dried her hair the night before. It showed a cute little fox sitting on the sofa wearing only a long robe, in a rather adorable duck-like pose, with an apple in its mouth and a somewhat dazed look in its eyes. Its fair thighs and arms were exposed, and its three tails were in different poses. Its smooth, long hair was a little messy, but it looked alluring enough.

Staring at the photo for a while, Hoshiguma suddenly felt like having a cigarette, or maybe slapping herself to see if it was a dream. She didn't doubt that the little fox was a man, after all, most of the men in Volper were quite handsome, and Mei Xue's chest was also very flat, but... this was way too small.

"Old Chen, it's not that... You should still remember, right? To become a senior superintendent in Lungmen, you have to pass the bar exam. I remember there was a rule that the minimum sentence is three years and the maximum is death."

"Wasn't it changed to a minimum of five years?"

Of course Chen Huijie remembered, and seeing her like this, Xingxiong didn't say anything more. She just patted Chen Huijie's shoulder, took a deep breath, and looked at her earnestly.

"You know that's good, then I won't say any more. Phew... I wish you happiness."

"What are you saying, Hoshiguma? I don't quite understand."

"It's nothing. By the way, could you introduce me to someone another day?"

Hoshiguma took Chen Huijie's words as feigned ignorance. After all, Mei Xue still seemed to have a few more years before she could legalize her marriage, so it wasn't appropriate to be too explicit at this time. However, Hoshiguma was very curious about how this little fox had managed to make the Guard Bureau's iron tree bloom.

"Sure, come to my house this afternoon."

"Oh, okay...you'll be living together?!"

Hoshiguma was so surprised that she didn't even hold the teacup properly. Luckily, Chen Huijie caught the cup quickly and looked at Hoshiguma with a puzzled expression. Was it strange that the siblings lived together?

"Old Chen, I still have to remind you, really... you need to be moderate, after all, even Wolper is still a child."

If Chen Huijie still didn't understand what Xingxiong was saying, then she was unworthy of sitting in the position of senior superintendent. She put her teacup on the table and looked at Xingxiong with disbelief.

What image do you have of me now?

"Probably the kind of person who wears black and white stripes and has silver bracelets on their wrists."

"Isn't that *Longmen swear word* dressed like someone going to jail?"

As a result, one of the teacups disappeared.
