Talulah, I'm still a child.

"My heart was beating so fast after I kissed my sister."

"..."

It has to be said that Exusiai's heart, which had already been hit once, suffered another critical blow. She never expected that this little fox, who could only treat kissing others as a habit, would be so naive. Who taught him this before? She really should thank that person.

Mei Xue's charm lies in this: a mind as pure as a blank sheet of paper, thoughts without any ulterior motives, yet unconsciously displaying her charm, willingly tempting those around her into the abyss of depravity. The key is that Mei Xue herself does not realize what this behavior represents; she only sees it as a perfectly normal interaction. Exusiai feels that this is very similar to certain plots that only Liu Shan (think about Liu Bei's title) would have, but Mei Xue is usually a female character.

Exusiai felt her heart racing and her mouth dry. She couldn't help but lick her chapped lips. The taste of the little fox's kiss still lingered on her lips and teeth, more delicious than any dessert she had ever eaten.

"Shall we try again?"

After saying all this, without waiting for an answer from the boy in her arms, Exusiai simply wrapped her arms around his waist and kissed him.

Meanwhile, Talulah was rushing to finish her manuscript, Hoshiguma and Swire were on patrol, Kal'tsit was working overtime, the remaining three from Penguin Logistics were watching TV downstairs, and what about Chen Huijie? Chen Sir was still reading a novel, while struggling with himself.

Chen Huijie is currently in a dilemma. On one hand, her morality and conscience tell her that there are some things she shouldn't do, while on the other hand, her feelings and memories tell her that there are some things she can do (ps: anyway, these are things that can't be written out for the reviewers to see).

"Mei Xue, oh Mei Xue, sigh..."

Chen Huijie couldn't help but sigh. The arrival of the little fox had added a lot of color to her life, but it had also made her doubt herself. Chen Huijie even began to worry that she would really have to start from five years in the future.

However, upon closer reflection, Mei Xue was already almost 15, so in a year she would be 16, and in two more years she would be 18, which wouldn't be a problem.

However, the biggest problem is still her dear older sister, Talulah. Putting everything else aside, if Talulah knew that her future husband had become her brother-in-law, she would probably turn into a fiery dragon on the spot. But what could Chen Huijie say? She couldn't very well write a letter saying, "Thank you for sending your brother-in-law, sister. I like him. You can call him brother-in-law from now on."

Thinking of this, Chen Huijie couldn't help but glance at her computer screen to check Mei Xue's location. She then discovered that although the little fox was at Penguin Logistics, her physical condition was strange, and her body temperature was actually high.

"Could it be because he caught a cold while blowing his tail last night?"

Picking up her communicator to dial the little fox's number, Chen Huijie remembered that it was Mei Xue who blew on the tail last night. The little fox was a bit clumsy and might even have a fever.

Unexpectedly, Chen Huijie's first call did not go through. Her intuition told her that something seemed wrong, but she still chose to call a second time. This time, the other end answered, and the little fox's soft voice came from the phone, sounding weak and flustered.

"Hey, sis?"

"Yes, it's me, Mei Xue. How are you feeling? Do you have a cold?"

Chen Huijie tapped her fingers lightly on the table, wondering what was going on with Mei Xue. She heard some strange noises coming from the little fox's side, like someone eating ice cream.

"No, um... why do you say that, sister?"

"Because my system shows your temperature is too high, I thought you might have caught a chill last night. Are you really alright?"

Hearing the voice on the phone, the little fox nestled in Exusiai's arms twitched its fox ears, just about to answer what was going on, when Exusiai suddenly handed it a piece of paper to it, indicating that Mei Xue should read it aloud.

"No, I just ran back from helping out with shopping, and it's really hot."

"is that so……"

Chen Huijie glanced at the computer and saw that Mei Xue's body temperature was indeed gradually returning to normal, but why did something feel off? As a police superintendent, her intuition was always right, but Mei Xue wasn't the type to lie. After thinking it over, she chose to believe the little fox, since his safety was the most important thing.

"I'll hang up now, I'll pick you up this afternoon."

"Okay, then I'll wait for my sister here."

Mei Xue twitched his fox ears after hanging up the phone and looked helplessly at Exusiai. He didn't quite understand why Exusiai had licked his ears when Chen Huijie called him earlier.

Now that she was sure the little fox was safe, Chen Huijie should continue to think about her own affairs. Her main problem now was that she was unsure if she really had feelings for the little fox. After all, she had recently assured Talulah that she would never do the same thing as her, but now this was the case. Once Chen Huijie understood Talulah, she was almost assimilated.

"Tsk, I should have known better than to be so absolute."

Rubbing her temples, Chen Huijie didn't know how to describe her complicated feelings. On one hand, she liked Mei Xue, which was understandable, after all, the little fox was really adorable. On the other hand, she had to face two problems: Mei Xue was not old enough, and Talulah was a complete fox lover.

“I can wait because she’s young, but Talulah… should I just arrest her?”

Chen Huijie suddenly felt that this method was very feasible. Anyway, the starting point is five years. After five years, not to mention that the little fox will grow up and get married, he might even be able to give Talulah a niece or nephew.

"No, no, I'm getting carried away again. Sigh... Chen Huijie, think about it carefully."

Rubbing her temples, Chen Huijie picked up her communicator, deciding to call Mei Xue, but quickly put it down again. She felt it would be better to talk to Mei Xue in person when she got back, as there were many things that couldn't be explained over the phone.

But before that, she had to do something else, because once a promise is made, it cannot be taken back, and one should not break one's word.

Meanwhile, at Penguin Logistics, although she didn't know why Exusiai liked to touch her all over, she didn't do anything excessive. The little fox simply let her do as she pleased, while pondering the words Exusiai had said after kissing her earlier.

(I only feel this way after kissing someone I like, so is that why I like Exusiai?)

The little fox was a bit confused. He decided to give up thinking about the question for the time being and ask Miss Black Snake after she woke up at night, because Miss Black Snake was the most knowledgeable person Mei Xue knew. Hmm, was she even human?

Looking at the bewildered little fox in her arms, Exusiai's hands kept rubbing his head and tail, and occasionally she would accidentally touch the little fox's belly and his little feet wrapped in white silk.

"By the way, Meixue, how about we add each other as friends? That way we can chat anytime. By the way, what's your Emperor account number?"

Exusiai took out her communicator, but the little fox shook his head, indicating that he didn't have one. He had only been using communicators for a few days, so how could he possibly know about the Great Emperor?

"Okay, let me show you how to register one step by step. What do you think is a good nickname?"

After taking over the little fox's communicator and operating it, Exusiai originally planned to name it "Exusiai's Little Fox," but considering that Chen Huijie would find out and kill it, she decided against it.

"Hmm, what's your nickname?"

"It's a code name. For example, my code name is Exusiai, but my real name is Remule. You can also call me Sister Remule."

"Then... Mei Xue loves apples the most."

It was a simple and unpretentious name, even revealing his real name. Exusiai patted Mei Xue's head and changed it to "Little Fox Who Loves to Eat Apples." Then she took a picture of Mei Xue hugging his tail and used it as her profile picture before adding him as a friend without saying a word.

"By the way, Meixue, give me a few apples, I'll make you an apple pie."

Exusiai patted her stomach. She was still quite hungry since she hadn't eaten lunch. She had just satisfied her mental needs, and now it was time to satisfy her physical needs and fill her stomach.

"Sister, give me one piece. Mei Xue is not very hungry."

"Then how about tumour milk?"

"Okay, could you please heat it up a bit?"

Watching Exusiai happily walk out the door, the little fox picked up the communicator and started studying it. He hadn't used it for anything other than making phone calls. Miss Black Snake said that it was okay for children to watch TV and play games, but they shouldn't get too addicted. The little fox wagged his tail. He only had Exusiai as a friend right now. If he could communicate through a screen, he hoped to make more friends.

"Ideally, they should be friends like me."

The little fox wagged its tail and gently pressed the auto-search button on the screen. Generally speaking, due to the limitations of Originium dust in the atmosphere and the lack of satellites, the networks between cities in Terra are independent of each other. Mei Xue's auto-search should only be able to find people within Lungmen. However, the little fox did not know this. It only knew that it could find new friends without having to meet them face-to-face.

A few seconds later, several nicknames popped up on Mei Xue's screen, such as "Little Lily of the Valley," "Flying Envelope," and "Rhine Slacker." The little fox twitched his ears and pressed send request. He didn't know if his request would be accepted, but he still hoped to make a few friends. He wouldn't be so shy if he was on screen.

Meanwhile, at the Rhine Life Ecology Department, Muirsey, who had just finished eating, was about to go back to her work when she suddenly received a friend request from an unknown source. While drinking her coffee, she clicked on the other person's profile picture to see who it was. When she saw who it was, she couldn't help but spit out all the coffee in her mouth.

"How could it be him?!"

"What's wrong, Director?"

"No, no, no, it's nothing, I just choked accidentally."

Muirsey smiled and brushed it off, then widened her eyes to carefully check if the avatar on the screen was the one she knew. As an elf who had lived for hundreds of years, she had seen a lot of the world and heard many legends, but what was going on? Wasn't it said that this silly fox had disappeared?

However, the little fox was still waiting for a response. Not long after he submitted his application, the person named "Little Lily of the Valley" accepted his application. This was the first time the little fox had made a stranger friend on his own.

—————————————Guards Bureau Divider———————————————

"Hey, Inspector Chan, what are you doing here instead of having lunch?"

The prison guards greeted Chen Huijie as she approached, but for some reason, Chen Huijie's expression was strange, a mixture of confusion and bewilderment, as if she had seen the person she loved marry Swire.

"It's nothing, I just came to sit for a while. You guys go and eat first."

"That……"

"It's alright, I'll keep an eye on things for you. Anyway, there aren't any other prisoners in the Guard Bureau's jail."

Chen Huijie waved his hand. The Guard Bureau's prisons usually only hold short-term detainees, not long-term criminals. Besides the purple rabbit Anlock from the slums who likes to steal, the people who have stayed here the most are the Penguin Logistics group. Exusiai even left her eyepatch in the prison, waiting to use it next time she comes.

"Thank you, Inspector Chan."

Indeed, there was no point in staying here, so the two officers simply went to eat. Watching them leave, Chen Huijie sighed, her long, thin tail swaying gently behind her as she looked at the empty cell in front of her, lost in thought.

After a difficult internal struggle, Chen Huijie took out the key, opened the cell door, and went inside.

"This time I've really gotten myself into trouble."

With a helpless, bitter smile, Chen Huijie felt a sudden sense of relief as she stepped inside. Her chaotic thoughts immediately became clear. She suddenly realized that this was what being in jail felt like—nothing more than that. Once you accept your weakness, you become more composed and stronger.

"I want to marry Mei Xue!"

After letting out a self-deprecating shout, Chen Huijie felt much better. She let out a long sigh, and the distracting thoughts and noises in her mind disappeared. What was there to worry about? There was no need to worry. Little Fox was the best! Mei Xue was her, Chen Huijie's, radiance!

After successfully resolving her inner turmoil, Chen Huijie turned around, intending to go back to work and discuss some matters with Mei Xue that evening. Then she saw Xingxiong standing on the other side of the iron bars with a look of utter disbelief.

Now Chen Huijie can understand how Mei Xue felt last night when she watched her transform, and the level of embarrassment is off the charts.

"...It's okay, I understand. I wish you happiness."

As Hoshiguma spoke, he gave a thumbs-up in encouragement, then immediately turned and walked away without looking back, leaving Chen Huijie, who was lost in a mental turmoil, squatting in the cell.

So what is our adorable little fox doing? He is chatting with his new friend. The little fox originally just wanted to see if he could learn how to make friends, but he never expected it to go so smoothly.

No, my name isn't Lily of the Valley; it's just a code name. But I really love lily of the valley flowers.

"I like flowers too, but I like apples even more."

The little fox wagged its tail, and chatting with strangers through the screen made it less afraid. After all, it was impossible for someone to run over to him via the internet.

I can tell, but what should I call you? Calling you "little fox" doesn't seem polite enough.

"Then just call me Mei Xue~"

Pressing the send button, the little fox heard Exusiai's voice, quickly put away the communicator, jumped out of bed, put on her shoes, and ran to eat. Meanwhile, on Rhodes Island, looking at the message she had just received, Suzuran was deeply confused. Was this fate?

Chapter 73 The Little Fox's Online Romance?

Today was another busy day. The little fox wagged its tail and busied itself in the kitchen wearing an apron, while Chen Huijie sat on the sofa reading the newspaper and drinking tea, pondering why Exusiai's gaze was evasive when she went to pick up Mei Xue earlier. Had those guys from Penguin Logistics gotten into trouble again?

No, this isn't the time for that. The key is Mei Xue. Chen Huijie finally made up her mind today and she must explain things clearly to the little fox.

"But would Mei Xue understand?"

Chen Huijie put down her teacup. She suspected that the little fox might not even be able to distinguish between liking and loving, but it didn't matter, as long as she could tell the difference herself.

Thinking of this, Chen Huijie got up and went to the kitchen. Standing at the door, she watched the little fox skillfully chopping vegetables with the Crimson Sky Sword. She felt that she should ask Wei Yanwu if she could get a new sword. Moreover, it seemed that the Crimson Sky Sword only became so spiritual after it was touched by Mei Xue. She just couldn't understand it.

"Are you hungry, sister? We're missing one dish, please wait a little longer."

Looking back at Chen Huijie at the door and at the dishes in front of her, the little fox busied herself even faster. Seeing her like this, Chen Huijie couldn't help but feel grateful to her good sister. If Talulah hadn't brought Mei Xue over for her, she might still be living that kind of lonely life, dull and monotonous.

The little fox is hardworking, sensible, well-behaved, and cute. Apart from her age, she is a perfect match. After thinking for a moment, Chen Huijie decided to go back and organize her thoughts, since what she had to say was quite important.

The little fox in the kitchen was still busy. Miss Black Snake, who had finally woken up, crawled out from her tail, yawned wearily, and then looked at the little fox who was still busy. She realized that she had actually slept until night. Sure enough, the mental energy was quite depleted, especially when the host was already in a poor mental state.
