Talulah, I'm still a child.

Then, perhaps feeling that he looked a little strange, Mei Xue hugged his tail and rubbed it against him shyly. He had just been thinking about what to give Talulah and was so happy.

(I'll go see Sister Chen Huijie after I finish my work today.)

With this thought in mind, Mei Xue couldn't help but laugh, feeling happy and full of hope for the future. Texas and Kong felt inexplicably better, while Miss Black Snake remained silent because she was thinking about more things. Guajie's reaction didn't seem like a simple case of mistaking someone for someone else, and who would recognize Mei Xue's size as an adult at first glance?

Then there's only one answer left: the one named Nian might know Mei Xue from before.

Chapter 65 Chen Huijie: I ****Shi Huaiya!

(Why does it feel like the clock is running slower today than it was yesterday?)

Glancing at the clock on the wall, there was still half an hour until the end of the workday. Although it had only been a day since she parted ways with Mei Xue, Chen Huijie felt as if a week had passed. She tried to force herself into work mode to ignore this feeling, but found that she had actually finished all her work in half a day. She didn't need to do the remaining general tasks at all. This speed was much faster than before.

"Would you like to see some files?"

Chen Huijie rubbed her temples, deciding to look at some files, but just then Hoshiguma walked in, carrying something in her hand.

"Old Chen, there's news about the bombing from a few days ago."

Hoshiguma casually picked up a chair and sat down, handing over the intelligence report in her hand. Chen Huijie also put down the dossier and took the intelligence report.

"According to our informant, the troublemakers this time seem to be a newly arrived gang in Syracuse. They are eager to gain a foothold and have chosen to create panic to expand their reputation and influence. However, they have only come into our view today, after all, they only number a little over two hundred."

With just over two hundred people, and being a newly arrived force, it was indeed difficult for them to become the target of the Guard Bureau's investigation at first. However, upon closer reflection, this made sense. Most of the underground forces in Lungmen were under the control of the Rat King. Those who stayed here for a long time would know what they should and shouldn't do. Only the newcomers were eager to establish their authority and expand their territory, but they were a bit too hasty.

Logically speaking, to establish prestige, one should seek out a well-known but equally powerful gang. These guys actually dared to plant a bomb in Pacific Place, which infuriated Swire that day. After all, that plaza and most of the properties inside belonged to her family, and her own valuable piano in the mall was destroyed beyond repair.

"The Salty Rice Dumpling Gang... These outsiders all like to come up with these weird and wonderful names."

"Because they probably have a hard time understanding what savory rice dumplings are. By the way, I think it was because of this that the informant identified the target."

"?"

Seeing Chen Huijie's puzzled expression, Hoshiguma helplessly spread his hands and sighed, his face showing a mixture of wanting to laugh and having to hold it back.

"That's how it is. Because they didn't understand what savory rice dumplings were, they went to ask others. As luck would have it, they asked the sweet rice dumpling faction. The two sides started arguing about which was better, sweet or savory rice dumplings. At that time, someone let slip the secret."

"Then who should we assign this case to?"

"Give it to me. Missy is still angry right now. Anyway, I'm on duty tonight, so I can just bring her back."

In the past, Hoshiguma would have chosen to go on missions with Chen Huijie, but just like yesterday when she kept staring at the screen, today she kept glancing at the alarm clock, waiting to get off work from early morning. Hoshiguma guessed that she was definitely thinking about going home early to pet the little fox.

"Then I'll leave it to you. First, catch the mastermind. If necessary, give me a call, and I'll be there anytime."

"Of course I will."

Actually, it was somewhat unnecessary for Hoshiguma to handle this matter. A small gang of two hundred people, with at most a few dozen permanent members, and not many who could fight, could be easily dealt with by the Royal Guard Bureau sending a few squads. However, given the serious nature of this matter, it was necessary for Hoshiguma, a senior superintendent, to make the trip.

Watching Hoshiguma leave, Chen Huijie glanced at the time and found that there was still a lot left. She covered her head speechlessly, really hoping that Meixue hadn't been kept waiting too long.

Although it was still a while before she got off work, Chen Huijie didn't know that Mei Xue was already waiting for her downstairs at the Guard Bureau. The little fox was holding an apple in his hand, his attention completely focused on the open picture book on his lap. It was a Lateran children's book that Exusiai had given him today, and the little fox thought it was quite good.

Waiting is always long, but Mei Xue is good at waiting. Although he found a corner to sit down, people passing by still intentionally or unintentionally focused their attention on him. After all, who could ignore this well-behaved and cute little fox? Anyway, Swire, who had just finished her mission, couldn't.

"Mei Xue!"

When Swire saw the little fox sitting in the Guard Bureau chair, she was very happy and even planned to go up and improve her favorability. However, she suddenly remembered that it seemed a bit strange for the little fox to be here at this time. Could it be that he got into some trouble while working at Penguin Logistics, such as a traffic accident, a fight, or smuggling? After all, Penguin Logistics gets involved in these kinds of things a lot every year.

"Good afternoon, Sister Swire."

The warm sunset streamed through the window, its rays falling perfectly on Mei Xue, tinting the little fox's white fur with a touch of brilliant yet gentle gold. Her bright eyes were filled with surprise and joy; after all, she had been sitting there for quite a while and was finally seeing someone she knew, so Mei Xue was very happy.

"Good afternoon, Mei Xue. Is there something you need at the Guard Bureau? It's not about Penguin Logistics, is it...?"

"No, no, the sisters didn't cause any trouble today. I'm here to wait for Sister Chen Huijie."

The little fox's snow-white tail swayed gently. The little fox's words immediately dampened Swire's spirits, and she felt very unhappy. It wasn't that she valued Mei Xue that much. After all, to Swire, the little fox was more cute and sensible. Besides that, there was also... a little jealousy, well, jealousy towards Chen Huijie.

As the tiger in a fierce battle, Swire and Chen Huijie have always had a rivalry, always arguing and easily getting into fights. Now that Chen Huijie has a cute and obedient younger brother, it's impossible for Swire not to be envious.

"Aren't you going to go find her?"

"Hmm... I don't want to disturb you at work, is it alright if I sit here for a while, sister?"

"Of course, oh right, I have a gift for you, wait a moment."

At this point, Swire remembered that she had originally planned to go to Chen Huijie's house tonight, but it would be even better if Mei Xue were here.

"Gift?"

Watching Swire run off quickly, Mei Xue twitched his ears in confusion. He hadn't known Swire for very long, and she was already giving him a gift. This older sister was really generous.

A little while later, Swire ran back. When Mei Xue saw what Swire was holding, her eyes lit up, and she even forgot to eat the apple in her hand.

"Kamen Rider Faiz's belt!"

Mei Xue's tail was wagging rapidly. These days, the little fox's favorite thing to do is to binge-watch Kamen Rider. Faiz is one of his favorites. The belt and suit are really cool. The little fox is too young to resist. He was thinking about buying it last night.

"Yes, it's yours!"

Although she didn't know what the appeal of Kamen Rider was, seeing Mei Xue's joyful expression, Swire knew she had given the right gift. The toy was a bit pricey, but it wasn't a big deal for her. Her usual frugality didn't mean that Swire wasn't a young lady from a wealthy family.

"Is it really for me? I remember this was very expensive..."

The little fox twitched his ears. He really liked the gift, but it was too expensive and he didn't know whether he should accept it. The fur he had plucked these past few days wasn't even enough to knit a scarf for Chen Huijie. He wanted to give money to Swire, but he felt that would be too much.

"It's okay, if you really feel embarrassed... can I pat your head and tail?"

At this point, Swire finally revealed her ambition. In fact, she had been envious yesterday when she saw Chen Huijie freely rubbing the little fox's head and touching its three tails.

However, this request put the little fox in a bit of a dilemma. His tail was a rather sensitive part of his body, but he was also eyeing the toys in Swire's hands. The little fox was caught in a dilemma for a moment, and finally shook his head.

"Um... no tail, but if you want to pat my head, you can just say so. I don't need the gift."

The little fox twitched its ears, obediently leaned forward, and lowered its head slightly. Swire hadn't expected this little fox to be so principled, but that only made her like it more. Tsk, it's hard to believe that pink-skinned dragon has such a cute little brother.

"The gift is still yours. Just pat my head more often in the future."

Anyway, this was originally meant for Mei Xue, and Swire didn't play with it herself. She gently reached out and touched Mei Xue's head, finding that the little fox's hair was a bit too good. It felt very comfortable to touch, and occasionally touching Mei Xue's ears would give a wonderful sensation. Swire simply reached out and gently pinched Mei Xue's ears, which felt much better than pinching her own.

Hearing this, Mei Xue wagged her tail happily, put away the gift with a clear conscience, and prepared to give a return gift later. Just then, Chen Huijie also got off work. Anyone could see that she was extremely happy. She had never been this happy before, not even when she got a promotion and a raise.

(By the way, has Mei Xue arrived yet? If not, I still need to give her a call.)

Just as she was thinking this, Chen Huijie saw Swire in the hall reaching out to touch and pinch the little fox. Suddenly, all her good mood vanished, the Chixiao sword at her waist trembled slightly, and her face darkened.

"I am Swire, the ultimate in profanity in Longmen!"

Chapter 66: Is this book really suitable for children?

The city lights were dazzling at night. This was the first time Mei Xue had ever seen a city at night. The colorful neon lights dazzled the little fox. The towering buildings and huge crowds made the little fox feel a sense of unfamiliarity. His tail swayed gently, and he couldn't help but move closer to Chen Huijie. This made Shi Huaiya on the other side feel a sense of frustration.

Are you scared?

Chen Huijie looked at Mei Xue, who seemed to want to stick to her. The little fox was naturally shy and hadn't been in Longmen for long. When she took him around before, she deliberately avoided some of the more crowded places. Now, when they went to the night market, they naturally had to squeeze into the crowd.

"There are a lot of people at night too.

The little fox twitched its ears because it was so conspicuous. Not to mention its face, its tail alone was hard to miss. Moreover, everyone knew that Chen Huijie and Swire were well-known. Therefore, anyone who passed by would turn their gaze to take a closer look at this little fox who was protected by two senior superintendents of the Royal Guard.

"Then hold my hand, so you won't have to worry about getting lost."

"OK."

Mei Xue gently placed her hand in Chen Huijie's palm, letting her hold it tightly, which immediately calmed her down a lot. Shi Huaiya, who was standing next to her, immediately poked the little fox's shoulder and pointed to herself, her meaning quite clear.

Although she hadn't known this Swire sister for long, the CSM adult Kamen Rider Faiz belt that she gave her was too appealing to the little fox. Her favorability towards Mei Xue had already caught up with that of Exia. The little fox twitched her ears and still handed her her left hand.

Swire felt a surge of pleasure upon seeing the little fox. Mei Xue's hands were small and soft, and because they were close enough, she could faintly smell the fragrance of flowers on him. This convinced Swire that her toy offensive was effective, as long as she didn't rush things. The little fox was very sensible, but at the moment, he didn't seem to know how to refuse other people's kindness.

(Just you wait, Pinky Dragon. Sooner or later, I'll be in Mei Xue's heart a higher place than you. You'll be crying then.)

Swire gave Chen Huijie a provocative look, to which the latter merely snorted. Did Chen Huijie not understand Swire's intentions? Just kidding, Mei Xue wasn't someone who could be bought with money. The little fox's principles were exceptionally strong, though her common sense had been corrupted by Talulah. But that wasn't a big deal, since Mei Xue lived with her, and Swire wouldn't get to give her kisses, hugs, or piggyback rides.

(You? You think you're worthy?)

Because of the height, the little fox couldn't see what his two older sisters were vying for. He just wagged his tail, his unease dispelled by his two sisters, and began to curiously observe his surroundings.

It has to be said that Longmen is more prosperous than imagined. It was the first time the little fox realized that the city lights could turn the night into day. His eyes kept sweeping over different people and things. Sometimes he would laugh out loud when he saw something interesting. When he saw someone smiling at him, he would politely nod and smile back.

To outsiders, if Mei Xue weren't accompanied by the two highest-ranking superintendents of the Guard Bureau, it would look like a family outing with three siblings. It's quite rare to see Superintendent Chen and Superintendent Swire walking together without arguing. The citizens of Lungmen generally agree that Swire and Chen Huijie are like magnets, they can't possibly get along. So, it makes perfect sense that Little Fox, being of the opposite sex, would be a convenient intermediary.

Should we buy the toy first or the book?

"Buy books!"

"Then let's go."

Chen Huijie pointed to a bookstore not far away. She had just finished reading all her martial arts novels and wanted to see if there were any new books worth reading these days. As for Shi Huaiya, did her opinion matter? If it weren't for Mei Xue's sake, Chen Huijie would never have gone shopping with her, even if she had to work overtime. Although they both acknowledged each other's abilities, arguing was their way of getting along. If they weren't worried that arguing would corrupt Mei Xue, they would have already exchanged three hundred friendly greetings by now.

Speaking of buying books, Mei Xue didn't know what to buy. The little fox didn't have much experience in this area, but Miss Black Snake was very knowledgeable. She could just pick a few academic books, and buy more comics and novels. Mei Xue didn't need to know that much right now. His experience wasn't comprehensive enough, and overly theoretical knowledge would only have a negative impact.

Conversely, reading more novels or comics can effectively cultivate the little fox's good character. Well, it's definitely not that she wants to turn Mei Xue into a useless person so that the little fox will only know how to rely on herself in the future.

"So many books..."

Looking at the dazzling array of books on the shelf, the little fox wagged his tail happily. He really wanted to buy one of each book and stuff it into his tail. Even if he didn't necessarily read them, he just wanted to collect them. It was like how some people in the group liked to collect erotic pictures. Even if they didn't necessarily look at them later, they would still collect them. It was a kind of unconventional collecting obsession.

"Pick whatever you want to buy."

"Ah."

The bookstore wasn't crowded at night, and Mei Xue became a little bolder. The little fox let go of her two older sisters' hands and ran off to find her favorite books. Swire looked at her palms and felt a sense of emptiness in her heart.

[Yes, that book, "The New Victorian Fairy Tales," and that one, "How to Become More Adorable." Oh, this one, "The Story I Had to Tell My Mother," is also good. That one, "My Sister's Love," looks like it's not a serious book. And grab "Teacher, I'm Marrying You Today" on the left too.]

While directing the little fox to go on a shopping spree, Miss Black Snake also focused on selecting books. In any case, her training direction was very clear: she wanted people like Chen Huijie and Talulah to succeed! As for her? Well, she's not human now anyway.

"I feel like there's something strange about the books Mei Xue bought..."

Unlike Chen Huijie, who was good at picking and choosing books, Shi Huaiya simply followed behind Mei Xue. Watching the little fox fill the cart with books, she felt that there were a few books that seemed a bit off, but she couldn't see them clearly. However, she thought that the little fox was a well-behaved child and probably wouldn't buy any books that weren't restricted to minors, so Shi Huaiya just assumed it was her imagination.

Actually, it wasn't just her; even the little fox himself felt that the books Miss Black Snake had specifically requested were a bit strange. However, he still bought them anyway, then pushed the cart to the counter to pay. In front of the clerk's bewildered expression, he stuffed the books and the cart together into his tail, and then took the empty cart out again.

(Later, I can distribute these books to Ino and Sasha as well.)

The little fox wagged his tail, guessing that once these books were in his tail, he could take them out indefinitely, and then the other side wouldn't lack books.
