Talulah, I'm still a child.

On the other side, Chen Huijie was still choosing books. This time, she had her eye on a newly released martial arts novel, which was actually sent from the Great Yan Dynasty. It had been completed two months ago and had a slightly fantastical element. It was about a person who traveled back a thousand years and met and fell in love with the legendary fox spirit of the Great Yan Dynasty. It was called "The Silly and Cute Fox Spirit Falls in Love with Me". Chen Huijie frowned. She didn't really like martial arts novels that interspersed too much romance.

"Never mind, there are no other books to read anyway."

Chen Huijie comforted herself in this way, and then, taking advantage of the moment when Shi Huaiya was still with Mei Xue, she paid without hesitation and packed up the books. She also picked up a book called "How to Be a Good Sister" to study carefully when she got back.

Chapter 67 Plum Blossom Society Dies on the Spot

On a night in Rhodes Island, Rosemary, having just taken a shower, sat on her bed in a clean little dress. She glanced at the time, guessing that her roommate, Blaze, might not be back for quite a while. The little cat bent down and took out the diary she had received the night before from under her pillow. She hadn't even read the back of it because Suzuran had interrupted her yesterday.

(April 15th, sunny. The professor asked me what the weather would be like next week. I don't know either, but it would be best if it rained. If it rained, I could hug my tail and snuggle under the covers to sleep.)

(April 22nd, heavy rain. The rain is really heavy. The Doctor and Kal'tsit went out to fight Theresis again. I really don't understand. Aren't Theresis and Theresa siblings? Why do they have to fight? But Theresa is a good person, and Theresis is a bad person. I hope he can choke to death while eating.)

(April 28, cloudy. I heard that Therese almost choked on a bone while eating. What an idiot.)

Rosemary flipped through the pages of the diary and noticed something was off. It seemed that whenever Mei Xue complained about someone in the diary, that person's luck would turn bad. For example, Mei Xue wrote that the Doctor stole his cake, and the next day the Doctor slipped and fell, hitting his head on the floor. Or there was Theresis, who was the most hated person in the diary. He was the worst off; every time Mei Xue cursed him, it would have some effect in a short time.

Is it a problem with the diary?

Puzzled, Rosemary flipped through the diary and discovered that the last page was blank. After thinking for a while, the kitten took out her pen and tried to imitate the handwriting on it.

"Hmm, April 23rd, sunny. I hope Theresis will have some bad luck."

Well, actually, Rosemary had never met Theresis. The little cat had only heard the name from Kal'tsit, but that didn't stop her from teasing her. However, to test whether it worked, Rosemary added a note at the end: "Hopefully there will be sweet and sour fish tomorrow," and then continued to flip through the diary.

At that moment, far away in Victoria, Therese suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, which stirred up some unpleasant memories.

I remember a long time ago, when he was still fighting with his sister, he started to feel a chill down his back from time to time. After that, he would always encounter some bad luck, such as choking on food, choking on water, falling down while walking, and even the chandelier above his head falling down in the middle of the night, as if he were possessed.

At that time, Theresis even suspected that she was cursed, but who was he? Putting aside his status, the Absolute Master spent a long time trying to figure out what was going on and could only conclude that it was probably a matter of luck.

It wasn't until later that he learned that Kal'tsit had found some kind of overpowered vixen for Rhodes Island. It was ridiculous! A Doctor was enough to tip the scales of war, and now there was someone who could unconsciously manipulate luck and provide unlimited supplies of various resources. Theresis was completely bewildered. He should have been steadily winning the game, but because of these two, the situation ended in a draw, and he was almost overtaken by Theresa.

"What's wrong, Your Highness?"

The pardoner, noticing Theresis's unpleasant expression, instinctively assumed that something had interfered with the plan again.

"It's nothing, I just feel a little unwell."

Therese took a sip of his hot coffee, glanced at the documents on the table, and mentally rehearsed how to seize Victoria for his own use. The Sarkaz civil war was over, and Theresa's successor was still immature. The Sarkaz needed someone to lead them, and that person could not be a king from another race. He still felt that Theresa should inherit the throne, but unfortunately, their ideologies clashed. The Sarkaz could not survive by compromising alone.

(If only the Doctor and that Volper could be of use to me)

Therese sighed inwardly, then suddenly felt a sharp pain in his throat. He couldn't help but cough and pat his chest. The spilled coffee soaked most of the documents on his desk, making his already bad mood even worse. His intuition told Therese that there was definitely something wrong behind this.

"Someone come here!"

--------------------------------

After shopping, Mei Xue didn't even have time to take a shower when she got home. The first thing she thought of was to hurry back to her room and put out all the books from her tail. Chen Huijie put away the books she had bought and then planned to see how the little fox planned to decorate the room.

"This seems to be packaged like this, and then this is placed here."

The books that were bought were placed on the ground. Before putting the books down, the little fox had one more thing to try: transforming!

After taking all the toys out of the box and assembling them, Mei Xue didn't notice that the belt on his hand seemed a bit unusual. Not only could she not find the battery cover, but she couldn't even see a screw hole. She put away the cardboard box along with the batteries, whose purpose she didn't know. Although the little fox had never made a Kamen Rider, he had seen it on TV and knew how to use it.

With a "click," Mei Xue discovered something a little embarrassing: her waist was too thin, and even at its smallest setting, the belt was a bit loose. After all, CSM was an adult version, and Mei Xue's waist didn't match, so the little fox had to wear several layers of clothing over it to make the belt fit snugly.

Mei Xue took out her phone, pressed the number 5 key three times, and then pressed standby. Hearing the familiar "standingby" standby tone, Mei Xue couldn't help but wag her tail happily and jump up on the bed.

"Great!"

For a child who loves watching Kamen Rider or Ultraman, this is the most exciting moment. Mei Xue didn't know how to describe this joy. To give an example, if Swire were here, he would probably be so happy that he would kiss her. But she wasn't here.

"And then...insert it here."

Mei Xue closed the flip cover, inserted it into the slot, and pressed it down. She excitedly waited for the red light to transform her into Kamen Rider. However, the belt made a "complete" sound to indicate that the transformation was complete, and then there was no further response. The little fox's tail immediately drooped down.

Well, don't be too disappointed. After all, it's just a toy. Don't have too high expectations for it.

Miss Black Snake emerged from her tail and comforted Mei Xue. The little fox nodded in agreement. After all, it was just a toy, and it was a gift from Sister Swire. It was good enough to have something to play with.

Mei Xue quickly shook off her disappointment and then couldn't help but pick up the transformation device and, mimicking the tone of the TV drama protagonist, solemnly recite the lines she had long wanted to try.

"I may not have a dream, but I can protect one!"

As soon as the line was spoken, Mei Xue's tail started wagging at three times the speed. The little fox was overjoyed. No boy could resist such a cool line, right? The little fox wagged its tail, intending to continue playing with the belt for a while, when it happened to hear a faint laugh coming from the doorway.

Mei Xue turned her head and found that Chen Huijie was standing at the door at some point, trying hard to cover her mouth to stop herself from laughing out loud, her eyes curving like two crescent moons.

"elder sister!"

The little fox immediately bristled. He suddenly realized that Chen Huijie had been watching all his poses and lines. An unimaginable sense of shame made the little fox's face turn as red as a ripe apple. He didn't care about anything else and quickly jumped off the bed to close the door so that Chen Huijie couldn't see him. However, he accidentally tripped over a pile of books on the floor.

Just as the little fox's cute little face was about to make intimate contact with the hard ground, Chen Huijie quickly reached out and scooped him up into her arms.

"What, are you shy?"

"Did your sister see everything?"

Even without Miss Black Snake's reminder, Mei Xue could feel her cheeks burning as hot as the floor in Henan province; they were hot enough to fry eggs on.

"Um, would you believe me if I said I didn't see it?"

It has to be said that the shy Mei Xue is much more charming than usual, giving people the feeling of wanting to bully her. Now that they are so close, Chen Huijie is a little thirsty, but he still forced himself to put Mei Xue on the ground.

"Sister, get out of here quickly!"

The overly shy little fox needed some space to think on his own. He quickly pushed Chen Huijie out the door and locked it. Then he pounced on the bed and buried himself in his tail. It was so embarrassing that his sister had seen him imitating a TV character.

Chen Huijie, who was pushed out, did not try to knock on the door. Instead, she couldn't help but laugh when she recalled the scene just now. She suddenly felt that it would be fun to tease this little fox more often in the future. However, when she saw Mei Xue's appearance just now, she actually had an impulse to throw him onto the bed. It seems that she still lacks self-control.

Chapter 68 Inspector Chen is about to embark on a path of no return.

As it turns out, seeing things you shouldn't see is sometimes not a good thing. Chen Huijie rubbed her temples. She hadn't expected Mei Xue to be so shy that she wouldn't even let her help dry her tail and hair. Suddenly, she felt like she was losing out. Moreover, looking at Mei Xue drying her own tail, Chen Huijie felt that if she got close now, she might scare the little fox away.

Left with no other choice, she could only go back to her bedroom and take out the novel she had bought earlier to read. Mei Xue in the living room breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Chen Huijie close the door. The little fox was still blushing. On the one hand, it was a bit impolite to kick Chen Huijie out just now, and on the other hand, she was really embarrassed to think about how she had been seen naked.

It's like having a silly, cringeworthy story you wrote in your notebook as a kid, and then having someone you like read it to you. It makes you want to dig a hole and bury yourself in it to hide.

So what if she saw you? She's practically seen everything anyway. It's no big deal if she sees you imitating TV characters.

"These are different."

The little fox touched his cheek, which was still a little hot. He didn't know how to face Chen Huijie now. He kept having the urge to run away because of what had just happened. He had sneaked into the bathroom when Chen Huijie wasn't looking.

Actually, it was Mei Xue's own sense of shame that was acting up. He wagged his tail. For the little fox, what had just happened was just like being seen taking a bath by Chen Huijie and Exusiai a few nights ago. But thinking about it carefully... since it was the same thing, and he had been seen once before, it didn't seem so serious this time.

Thinking of this, Mei Xue immediately felt much better. She twitched her ears and looked at Chen Huijie's bedroom door, but still couldn't muster the courage to knock. She could only quickly dry her tail, turn off the light, and go back to her room to pack her things.

Instead of reading the martial arts novel first, Chen Huijie in the bedroom curiously picked up "How to Be a Good Sister" and glanced at it. When she instinctively and quickly scanned the first paragraph, Officer Chen suddenly realized that it was actually a romance novel, and a story about siblings.

"This...this..."

Chen Huijie could swear to God that she had only subconsciously thought this book was about how to be a good older sister, and she never expected it to be like this. Could it be that she had misread it? No, she had to take another look.

"That's really true."

Without saying a word, Chen Huijie closed the book. She felt her mind had been polluted. The book actually started by describing how the male and female protagonists got together at the end of the story, and it was even on their wedding night.

(No, no, let me take another look to confirm.)

As a result, Chen Huijie kept switching between two mindsets: "How can I look at this kind of thing?" and "It's so weird, let me take another look." Each time, she would look at it once and then close it, but then she couldn't help but want to look at it again.

Although it was her first time reading a romance novel, the fact that this book was published in physical form was quite an achievement. The plot was intricately woven, the writing was captivating, and the dialogue and interactions between the characters flowed smoothly. Chen Huijie swore that these were the very reasons she read it.

"Hiss... Siblings who have relied on each other since childhood. The sister has a strong personality, while the brother is more introverted. Hmm, why does this feel so familiar?"

Chen Huijie touched her chin and continued reading. The more she read, the more something seemed off. Romance novels mostly focus on feelings and character interactions, and this one was no exception. Moreover, it emphasized the origins of the older sister's affection for her younger brother from her perspective, and even detailed how to make a decisive move when dealing with boys who are introverted and easily embarrassed. This made Chen Huijie sigh, "So it's that easy to win someone over."

So, for the first time, Chen Huijie put aside her favorite martial arts novels and picked up a romance novel that she had never liked before, even ignoring the passage of time.

"Introverted boys usually have many little thoughts, but they are too shy to express them. Some of the more sensible ones will often act like little adults. These only need a little intimacy to..."

As she read, Chen Huijie's mind was filled with a lot of knowledge she had never known before. She felt as if she had opened the door to a new world. She didn't put the book down until she finished reading the first plot twist. She realized that it was already past midnight and she had only read one-third of the content in two hours.

"No, I still need to go to sleep."

Yawning and rubbing her eyes, Chen Huijie knew she had to go to work the next morning. She decided to get up and check if Mei Xue was asleep, take a shower, and then go to bed. However, when she opened the door, she found the little fox standing right there, holding a cup of hot milk in one hand [Note 1] and seemingly about to knock on the door with the other. The other hand then landed squarely on Chen Huijie's chest.

When Mei Xue realized that her sister had opened the door, she looked up and met Chen Huijie's gaze. Her fair face gradually turned slightly red, clearly still holding onto the previous incident. However, the little fox still handed over the hot milk in her hand.

"I saw that my sister was still awake, so I prepared some warm milk for her."

"It's nothing, I'm just looking at some documents. Aren't you going to sleep so late? You'll get dark circles under your eyes."

Chen Huijie took the milk and placed it on the table. Then she bent down and hugged the little fox, nuzzling it. The moment she held the cup, she knew that the little fox must have been standing outside the door for a while. The promised hot milk had gone cold. He must have seen the light on in her room, but didn't know if he was busy and didn't dare to disturb her.

"Next time, just knock on the door. No, just open it. If I just fall asleep while you're standing outside waiting, wouldn't it be a waste of your kindness?"

Chen Huijie patted Mei Xue's head and sighed with relief that she had planned to take a shower, otherwise she would have had no idea that the little fox had been waiting outside all along.

"It's okay, Meixue will finish it herself."

The little fox gently wagged its tail, opened its arms to hug its sister, and rubbed its face against hers. It had only been waiting for a few tens of minutes, just as Chen Huijie had thought. The little fox had indeed not knocked on the door because it was worried about disturbing her. It was only because it was so late that it decided to knock on the door to remind its sister to go to sleep.

"That won't do. You prepared this for me, so of course I have to drink it."

After rubbing Mei Xue's tail, Chen Huijie suddenly realized where the familiarity she felt from reading that novel came from. Wasn't that just a replica of herself and Mei Xue?

"Um... I'm sorry, sister. I shouldn't have kicked you out."

"It's alright, I should knock before I go in."

With a simple apology and mutual understanding, Chen Huijie kissed Mei Xue on the cheek and received a kiss in return. She felt that having Mei Xue in her life was truly a good thing; she felt much more relaxed, and life was no longer boring.

"Alright, go to sleep now."

"Okay, goodnight, sister!"

Watching Mei Xue turn and leave, Chen Huijie suddenly felt a strong urge to grab him by the tail and drag him into her room, but she restrained herself.

As a police superintendent, I would never join the Guard Department because I'm in jail!

Chapter 69 That Unlucky Theresis

Two moons shone in the sky, and night fell. Even the bustling city of Lungmen seemed to be asleep. But there were always people who couldn't sleep, such as Hoshiguma, who was working overtime at the Guard Bureau, Swire, who was busy attending to business, and Chen Huijie, who tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

To be honest, if Chen Huijie hadn't carefully tasted it before drinking it, she would have suspected that she had drunk coffee, otherwise there would be no way to explain her current mental state.

"What's going on? I feel more and more energetic the more I sleep."
