Talulah, I'm still a child.

Patting her head, Chen Huijie realized that whenever she closed her eyes, she would dream of some strange things, such as the pink scene in the bathroom that night, the fragrance of flowers she smelled when she hugged Mei Xue just now, and all the details in that novel, all of which were as if engraved in her mind and she couldn't forget them even if she wanted to.

"Hiss... Could I really have caught Talulah's infection?"

Chen Huijie rubbed her temples and quickly shook her head. She didn't want to be sent to the police station by Shi Huaiya. No, she didn't have any improper thoughts about Mei Xue, so how could she be arrested?

"Mei Xue must be asleep, right? Oh no, being too energetic isn't a good thing either. I should have brought some documents back to review and pass the time."

Since she couldn't sleep anyway, Chen Huijie rubbed her temples, stood up, turned on the light, picked up the novel, and started reading again, intending to stay awake until she felt sleepy.

Meanwhile, there are many other people who can't sleep, such as Rosemary on Rhodes Island. At this moment, the little cat is in a rather complicated situation. She really likes the diary under her pillow, but this diary is not enough to read. When Mei Xue wrote it, she basically summarized each day in one sentence. Therefore, Rosemary has already read nearly a third of it. Her current mood is similar to that of readers who wait for the fourth update every day.

The other one is Therese, who is far away in Victoria. Ever since the incident where Mei Xue cast a curse on him, he has been extra vigilant and realized that he needs to do something. For one thing, he knows that Mei Xue and the Doctor are missing. Now Mei Xue is even cursing him. Could it be that she has returned to Kal'tsit's side?

In any case, if Mei Xue and the Doctor were to side with Kal'tsit again, he would be in trouble. There weren't many forces available in Victoria, so he would have to rely on some local forces. Theresis simply made a phone call.

"Hello, yes, it's me. Connect to the intelligence department... intelligence department, yes, we need you to find someone this time."

There's no need for a photo; Theresis could never forget what Mei Xue looks like. Because of Mei Xue's existence, he had a year of bad luck. Although he didn't suffer many actual injuries, it was still quite embarrassing. Theresis had long since memorized her appearance. Not to mention that the guy actually emptied all their food reserves overnight. In a crucial battle, because Mei Xue complained about the sun, a torrential rain started falling in less than ten minutes from a cloudless sky, leading to their crushing defeat.

If it weren't for the undercover agent lurking inside the Tower of Babel telling Theresis these things, he would never have believed it.

"Hmm, a Volpo, four tails, silver fur, long hair, blue eyes. I don't know its exact location, just try to find it. Yes, send a few particularly smart and capable ones... No one?"

The reply on the other end of the phone made Theresis pause for a moment, then he frowned. It seemed that his subordinates were still not convinced of his temporary leadership.

"Then find me a few smart ones... but you don't have any?"

"These damn bastards in the intelligence department must be doing this on purpose," Therese thought. He realized his luck was truly terrible today. He would never believe it had nothing to do with Mei Xue. The last time he was this unlucky was because of that fox.

"Phew... then find me a few who are reasonably smart! You don't have any? Then what do you have?"

In a fit of rage, Therese slapped his expensive, heavy desk, which he had bought at his own expense, until it was completely shattered. The heavy marble baseboard landed directly on his foot. Both in pain and anger, he crushed the landline phone in his hand. If he hadn't been concerned about his personal image, he probably would have cursed out loud.

"Then find me a few who can still breathe! Find that Walper named Mei Xue!"

However, the sleeping little fox was unaware that he had unwittingly taken the blame. To be honest, it seemed that he was also involved, since the diary was his. But Mei Xue was busy dreaming and had no time to deal with those things.

The little fox was dreaming at the moment, looking at the older sister with silver hair in front of her. For some reason, she felt very close to her, even though she had never met her before. No, it is possible to dream about people you have never met before.

"Where is this place? I've never seen it before."

Wagging its tail, the little fox realized that this place didn't match any of the places it remembered. It was all white, and there was no one else except for the older sister in blue in front of it. However, even the older sister in front of it seemed to be just a reflection in a mirror.

"This is the place we agreed to meet."

The person in the mirror smiled and twitched their ears. Mei Xue, as if by telepathy, wagged their tail. They realized that they were very similar to the person in front of them. Apart from slight differences in physique and clothing, they were practically identical. If there was any difference, it might be their eyes.

"The agreed-upon place... Um, who are you, sister?"

For some reason, Mei Xue felt a strange sensation when looking at this person. She felt happy and joyful, yet also sad. These two contradictory emotions intertwined, leaving Mei Xue at a loss for words.

"Don't you already know? I'm the older sister."

The person in the mirror smiled and reached out to give Mei Xue a hug, but her hand could only touch the mirror. Mei Xue was a little confused when she heard this, but she felt a little uncomfortable. She reached out to touch the person in the mirror.

"I meant my name. My name is Mei Xue. What's yours, sister?"

"Mei Xue... what a beautiful name. Why didn't I think of giving you this name?"

The woman in the mirror muttered to herself, then shook her head with a smile, pointing at herself. Mei Xue twitched her ears and noticed that her tail also wagged unconsciously.

“I have many names. Some call me disaster itself, some say I am the embodiment of misfortune. Although I named myself Su Xue’er, I still prefer to hear you call me that…”

"elder sister."

For some reason, when Mei Xue heard the name Su Xue'er, she subconsciously blurted out those two words. Su Xue'er in the mirror smiled and nodded, then shattered into countless mirror fragments in front of Mei Xue. These fragments then transformed into countless blue butterflies that danced around him and finally landed on his tail.

"elder sister!"

Mei Xue, who was still sleeping, suddenly woke up and instinctively hugged her tail. Miss Black Snake, whose sweet dream had been disturbed, was about to come out and complain about why the little fox was not sleeping in the middle of the night, but when she saw Mei Xue's pale face, she chose to be more gentle.

Did you have a nightmare?

"I don't know, I've forgotten what I dreamed about."

Mei Xue clutched his chest. What had he just dreamt about? Why did he feel so uncomfortable, as if he couldn't breathe?

Did you cry?

Miss Black Snake climbed onto Mei Xue's shoulder, only then noticing two tears sliding down his cheeks, his eyes filled with confusion and sorrow.

"I don't know, I just... really want to cry."

Mei Xue wiped away his tears, hugged his tail, and lay back on the bed. Now he couldn't fall asleep either.

Chapter 70 Inspector Chen decides to take the initiative.

The little fox was clearly not in a good mood on the second day of work; even wagging its tail wasn't as energetic. There weren't many packages to deliver today, so there was no need to group them. Exusiai successfully got the little fox.

"Meixue, did you not sleep well last night?"

Seeing the little fox drowsy and swaying from side to side as if he might fall over at any moment, Exusiai couldn't help but reach out and rub his head.

"Um... I woke up from a nightmare last night, but I don't know what I dreamt about, so I can't fall back asleep. I'm so sleepy now, sister."

Hugging its tail, the little fox subconsciously rubbed against Exusiai's palm. Anyone could clearly feel its drowsiness. Exusiai glanced at the shipment list and guessed that it was almost finished delivering the goods.

"Let's wait a little longer. We can catch up on some sleep in the lounge when we get back."

"Ah."

Last night's dream was hazy. Mei Xue couldn't remember any of the people or events he dreamed about. At that time, he only felt joy, but he was also overwhelmed by an even greater sadness. He didn't even realize when the tears started flowing. So he spent the night chatting with Miss Black Snake while hugging his tail. Now, Miss Black Snake's mental state wasn't very good either. She kept yawning and finally just fell asleep.

Sitting on Mei Xue's other side, Kong was watching the vlog he uploaded yesterday. Little Fox didn't care that Kong was making a video, and Miss Black Snake didn't care either, because she knew very well that Ursus must know that Little Fox was here, but they couldn't ask for her directly. They couldn't outmaneuver Wei Yanwu by using underhanded tactics. Besides, due to environmental factors, the networks between the various cities in Terra were independent of each other, and Lungmen's data network could not be transmitted to other places.

It turns out that the little fox is quite popular. The video, which is just over a minute long, has nearly 10,000 comments, mostly asking about Mei Xue, such as how old she is, what she looks like, whether they can take a picture, whether they can have a meal together, and whether she is willing to get married.

Looking at the little fox next to him who had already started to doze off, Kong thought that he might be able to try the route of becoming an online idol. After all, as long as it's just through a screen and you can't see the person, it doesn't matter if he's shy.

"Meixue, may I take photos and videos of you and upload them?"

"Hmm...that's fine."

Yawning and wiping away his tears, the little fox felt extremely sleepy. He twitched his fox ears, but ultimately couldn't resist the drowsiness. He closed his eyes and was about to fall forward when Exusiai saw this and immediately helped him up. Then, she took out her own eye mask and put it on the little fox, gently placing him on her shoulder to lean against.

Exusiai felt quite happy as the little fox's ears gently rubbed against her face. The little fox looked especially cute when it was asleep, quiet and clingy. She wondered what it was dreaming about, because it actually took the initiative to hug Exusiai's arm and rub against it before falling back asleep peacefully.

"Go back first, we'll deliver the rest of the goods later. Just say it will be delivered today."

Looking at the sleeping Mei Xue, Texas made this decision with no other choice. After all, the remaining goods were still inside the little fox's tail. If he didn't wake up, no one else could get them. But Mei Xue's sleeping face made it hard to disturb her.

"I'm fine."

Croissant in the passenger seat was naturally not unhappy either. Everyone tacitly lowered their voices considerably. Texas even unusually chose to slow down the car to avoid the bumps waking Mei Xue or giving her nightmares.

When Swire, who was passing by, recognized the Penguin Logistics vehicle, she was stunned for a moment, thinking to herself that these guys actually knew how to obey traffic rules today. Of course, she didn't know that Mei Xue was here, nor did she know that the little fox was sleeping peacefully against Exusiai.

In the other side of the Guard Bureau office, Chen Huijie put the official document she had finished reviewing aside and couldn't help but yawn. She hadn't stayed up all night last night, but instead chose to stay up all night. The novel was only 400 pages long, but she had only read half of it so far. She always read it word by word, which was her reading habit.

Although it seemed a bit inappropriate to slack off during work hours, considering that she had already finished her work and was in a good mood to relax, Ms. Chen continued to flip through the romance novel in her hands. She felt that many of the things mentioned in the book were very effective, such as how sleeping together as siblings could effectively enhance their relationship, eating together could increase opportunities for communication, and showering together could... no, that won't work!

"This is so strange."

Without saying a word, Chen Huijie closed the book and shook her head. She was about to say that such a thing was shameful and immoral, but then the scene of Mei Xue being exposed in the bathroom flashed in her mind. She suddenly felt that what the book said was not without reason.

Thinking about it carefully, if you were to take a bath with the little fox, even the last physical barrier of the fabric wouldn't exist. It would be a truly honest and open relationship. Just imagining it was enough to make one feel a little overwhelmed. Chen Huijie couldn't help but pat her forehead, hoping to get out of this awkward state. But she just couldn't stop the scene from repeatedly popping into her head, and she would even add a filter to her imagination while imagining it.

Slapping her forehead to suppress all her impure thoughts, Chen Huijie quickly shook her head and continued reading the novel, hoping to escape it. However, she clearly forgot that the novel in her hand was not exactly respectable to begin with.

"Living together, the older sister and younger brother know each other's strengths and weaknesses. Sometimes they might not have feelings for each other, but it's normal to feel a flutter in your heart once you realize your own feelings," Chen Yu'er thought, deciding to express her feelings to her younger brother...

Seeing this, Chen Huijie focused her attention on her communicator. She suddenly wanted to call the little fox, but then realized that her thoughts had gone astray again. She couldn't help but slap herself, and continued reading while covering her slightly sore face.

The more engrossed Chen Huijie became in the book, the more she resonated with the female protagonist. She felt genuinely saddened when the male protagonist chose to separate from his sister because of his confession, and even subconsciously wondered what would happen if Mei Xue wanted to move away after becoming financially independent. No way, she absolutely could not agree to that.

"No, Mei Xue wanting to be independent is a good thing!"

Helplessly covering her head, Chen Huijie felt she shouldn't have bought this novel. It had left her mind in a complete mess, almost causing her to develop a split personality. But the book was well-written, and after all, she had spent money to buy it. She couldn't just throw it away, could she? She should finish reading it first, and then throw it away!

So today, Chen Huijie realized for the first time that slacking off at work could be such a joyful thing, and she decided that she should take the initiative to do something for the little fox.

Chapter 71 The Stolen Exia (Dual-Unity)

As mentioned last time, in order to let the little fox rest in peace, the Penguin Logistics team decided to temporarily return to the base. Anyway, there were only two or three packages left, and it wouldn't be too late to deliver them in the afternoon.

Then the girls discovered a problem: the little fox seemed to be bound to Exusiai, literally bound together. Ever since falling asleep in the car, the little fox had been holding onto Exusiai's hand tightly and now refused to let go.

"What... should we do?"

Helpless, Croissant carried Exusiai and Mei Xue to the lounge. Seeing that the little fox still refused to let go, Croissant looked at Texas and Sora, who also shook their heads in helplessness, because Mei Xue was holding on really tightly.

"Actually, I think this isn't necessarily a bad thing."

Exusiai scratched her face a little embarrassedly, looking at the little fox nestled in her arms and sleeping peacefully. She wasn't worried about being taken advantage of, after all, Mei Xue had been seen quite a bit by her and Chen Sir that night. To be honest, it was quite comfortable to be held by the little fox like this.

However, as soon as she said this, Exusiai felt that the other three people were looking at her as if she were some kind of unrecyclable large piece of trash. Texas's eyes became even colder, Croissant shook her head, and Sora was still hesitating whether to call Chen Sir to report the crime. After all, they were colleagues, and they didn't want Exusiai to go to jail or see her break the law.

"What kind of looks are you giving me? I... I was just trying to make sure Mei Xue could sleep better."

Exusiai looked righteous and awe-inspiring, but perhaps because she had spoken a little too loudly, Mei Xue, who was sleeping peacefully, let go of her hand, then hugged her waist and rubbed against her slightly heaving chest, covering herself and Exusiai with her tail.

"Sister, um... let Meixue sleep a little longer, just a little while."

The little fox muttered these words, then twitched its ears and continued to sleep. It was clear that the little fox was really sleepy. Exusiai gave Texas and the others a helpless look, meaning: Look, it was Mei Xue who pestered me, not me who smelted metal on my own initiative.

"Alright, let Meixue get a good night's sleep."

"Then we'll be going now. Don't do anything reckless. Let's make it clear, five years is not a small amount of time."

After leaving Exusiai with this piece of advice, Texas, carrying Sora and Croissant, turned and left. Watching their departing figures, Exusiai couldn't help but call out.

Texas.

"Ok?"

Texas turned to look at Exusiai, her eyes filled with a pleading tone, but more so with embarrassment; however, the excitement hidden beneath her gaze remained unknown to anyone.

"Please turn off the lights for us. Don't call us for dinner; Mei Xue and I will eat when we wake up."

Texas's face immediately darkened. She thought this Exusiai was no longer acceptable. Was this some kind of show-off? Was this some kind of show-off? If Chen Huijie found out about this, she'd cut off all the fluorescent light bulbs.

"There's a switch by the bedside; just do it yourself."

After leaving those words, Texas closed the door and left, leaving only Mei Xue and Exusiai alone in the lounge. Looking at the little fox in her arms, Exusiai subconsciously felt a little thirsty.
