Talulah, I'm still a child.

Jenny got up, rinsed off the soap, wrapped herself in a towel, and dried her hair with a hairdryer. She reminisced about the past. Back then, Mei Xue was somewhat resistant to taking baths and didn't like the feeling of her tail getting wet. However, the little fox's tail felt amazing to the touch.

At first, Jenny wasn't quite used to living together, but later she learned how to trick Mei Xue into showering and sleeping with her. Honestly, the little fox is so cute.

"Sister~ Dinner is ready~"

After placing the food on the table, Mei Xue called out towards the bathroom, and then heard hurried footsteps. Qin Liu, wrapped in a white bath towel, ran out. However, the towel was a little short for her, barely covering her breasts and a small part of her thighs, making her look particularly alluring.

If it were anyone else, it wouldn't be a meal later but a scene that wouldn't pass censorship. However, it was Mei Xue who saw this scene. The little fox was the kind of person who had seen a lot. Even though she saw Qin Liu like this, she didn't have any evil thoughts in her eyes. Instead, she kept staring at the area below Qin Liu's lower back.

(It's definitely better not to have a tail.)

The little fox couldn't help but think that although it was Vayvan, Qinliu didn't have a tail like Saria's. The little fox knew this before, and he had even checked it himself, so the other party could wrap the bath towel so well.

As for Mei Xue himself, now that he has more tails, which are below his lower back, he definitely can't wrap himself in a bath towel, as that would be too uncomfortable. Secondly, he can no longer wear his favorite shirt, because if his tails are raised, it's basically like he's not covered at all. Now he changes his clothes directly in the bathroom before going out.

"Um... Mei Xue, please don't stare at me like that."

Although she was covered up with a bath towel, back when they lived together, Qin Liu was so infatuated that Mei Xue saw everything. But now she would be very shy, since there were other people in the house.

"Because Sister Qinliu is very beautiful."

As the doctor once said, when a girl tells you not to look at her, she wants you to look at her more. But to avoid upsetting her, you should compliment her on her beauty appropriately. Little Fox understood this perfectly, so he treated everyone the same way.

"This...I..."

Qin Liu was momentarily at a loss for words. Being praised for her beauty by Mei Xue was indeed something to be happy about, but the little fox's gaze combined with those words... could it be that the little fox already had feelings for her in that way? That would be great... oh no, that seems a bit inappropriate.

But after thinking about it for a while, Qin Liu realized that she knew Mei Xue's strengths and weaknesses. She felt that the little fox looked like this when she first met Mei Xue, and now that four years had passed, it must have grown up. Well, she was just thinking about it, and it wasn't illegal!

"If you really want to see it, you can do it later when Cecilia isn't around."

She lowered her head and gently bit Mei Xue's ear. At such close range, Mei Xue was practically pressed against her chest. The little fox's tail swayed slightly. She thought to herself, "Sure enough, Sister Jenny still prefers this rose-scented shower gel."

After saying this, Jenny was almost too embarrassed to speak. After four years apart, her biggest worry was that Mei Xue no longer liked her, because Feng Di had said that the little fox was now in a close relationship with a woman named Chen Huijie, and that she had even met Talulah in person.

"Aren't you cold, sister? Be careful not to catch a cold in the spring."

"..."

Looking into Mei Xue's eyes, Qin Liu immediately realized that he had been overthinking things. This little fox hadn't changed; his mind was as simple as a blank sheet of paper. He would never think about such things on his own initiative.

"Don't worry, I've never stopped exercising, so I won't catch a cold so easily."

Qin Liu ruffled Mei Xue's hair, feeling somewhat disappointed. She had been so proactive, yet this little fox still didn't understand any hints. Did she really have to skip the stage of verbal flirting and force it? Putting aside everything else, Qin Liu had honed her personality to a certain extent in the army, and she had considered the possibility of forcing it.

"Then, sister, you should change your clothes first. I'm going to... um?"

Someone knocked on the door. The little fox twitched its ears. Jenny glanced at it and felt that she wasn't in the right state to open the door. She didn't mind being honest with Mei Xue, but she certainly wouldn't want others to see her like this.

"Just a moment, it'll be right there~"

As Jenny went upstairs, Mei Xue ran to the door and opened it, but instead of Ahmoni as he had imagined, there were two other unexpected people outside.

"Qinliu! I've come to play with you!"

As soon as Mei Xue opened the door, a cheerful yet slightly silly voice entered his ears, causing him to pause instinctively. Then, he was pulled into the other person's arms, his head buried so tightly that he could hardly breathe, and his nine tails behind him began to wag wildly.

"Sigh, isn't this Qinliu's home?"

Looking at Mei Xue, whose ears were perked up from being suffocated in his arms, Feng Di scratched his head in confusion, took a step back, glanced at the sign at the door, and wondered if he had gone to the wrong place.

"Bamboo Pipe, let go! You're suffocating me!"

Horn reached out and tapped Bagpipe on the head. Looking at Mei Xue, whose face was turning red from holding back her anger, Horn was really a bit helpless. Bagpipe's carefree personality was something he couldn't change.

"I'm so sorry, I... Hey, aren't you Chenchen's younger brother!?"

Upon closer inspection, Fengdi realized that Mei Xue in front of her was exactly the same person as the person in the photo that Chen Huijie had attached to the letter she had written earlier. No, it didn't seem to be exactly the same.

"But why does it have more tails now?"

"Oh, is this someone my sister knows?"

Upon hearing the name "Sister Chen," Mei Xue immediately thought of Chen Huijie's face. When she heard that Little Fox was going to Victoria, she absolutely refused to agree. It took several hours of coaxing and gentle "comfort" before she finally agreed.

"Yes, yes, Chenchen mentioned you in her letter. She even said that if you have children in the future, she would definitely ask me to be their godmother. I never expected to meet you here."

Seeing Fengdi nod and his silly eyes, Mei Xue subconsciously felt that Fengdi and Xiao Ke must get along very well. Since he knew Sister Chen, he must not be a bad person.

"Please come in, ladies."

Mei Xue stepped aside slightly to let the two in. She glanced at them. Because her reunion with Qin Liu was something to celebrate, the little fox had prepared quite a few dishes today. It was enough for five people (including Mandela).

"I remember your name is Mei Xue, right? Did Chen Chen come with you?"

"No, Sister Chen is still on Rhodes Island."

Mei Xue shook her head. This matter could be handled with Cecilia, but it would be more difficult if Chen Huijie were brought along.

"That's a pity. I wanted to catch up with Chenchen. How is she doing on Rhodes Island? Can I go see her?"

Perhaps because of her good relationship with Chen Huijie, coupled with Mei Xue's likable appearance and Fengdi's personality, her words flowed towards Mei Xue like a surging river. Haojiao was originally worried that Mei Xue would find it annoying, but who knew that the little fox listened and nodded, and even occasionally interjected a few words, which was truly rare.

You know, Bagpipe is a natural airhead and a bit of a simpleton, and that's actually a compliment. She's very reliable in combat, but otherwise she's a complete idiot.

"Meixue, when are you and Chenchen getting married? I'd like to take time off to attend your wedding. Also, could I hold your child for a bit? I can teach him how to farm."

"Sister Bagpipes can farm?"

The little fox subconsciously asked a question in return. Bagpipe's current appearance really didn't look like someone who knew how to farm. If you ignored the huge broken spear on her back, she looked like a pretty and lively female college student. By the way, Bagpipe didn't have a tail either. Mei Xue expressed her envy again.

"Of course, I'm very good at farming, and I can also drive tractors, excavators, and harvesters. My mother even said that I will definitely not starve in the future."

"That's different from Xiao Ke's..."

Mei Xue muttered to herself, "Xiao Ke definitely doesn't know how to do these things. Expect her to farm? She could eat all the seeds."

"Please have a seat, sisters. I've prepared a lot of food tonight. Cecilia, dinner's ready!"

Upon hearing Mei Xue call her name in the second half of her sentence, the little angel put the storybook on the table, picked up Mandela, and ran over. When she saw two more unfamiliar older sisters, she promptly hid next to Mei Xue, as if there were no safer place in the world. Perhaps the word "as if" could be removed.

"This is...your and Xiao Chen's child?"

Upon seeing the timid Cecilia, Bagpipe blurted out those words without thinking. After all, just looking at their temperament and faces, Cecilia and Meixue really looked like they were cut from the same mold.

"Ah, this is my sister."

"Bagpipes, be polite."

Horn rolled her eyes at her teammate. This guy was really something. But whatever, this was the bagpipes she was familiar with. Everyone liked her energetic and naturally naive personality.

Besides, these two weren't here to freeload tonight; they almost forgot their business.

"Mei Xue, isn't Jenny home?"

"Yes, my sister just finished showering and changing, she'll be here soon."

Holding Cecilia, the little fox sat at the dining table, completely at ease, treating the place as his own home. It was just that Mandela didn't quite like the bagpipes and horns.

"Okay, by the way, Mei Xue, what brings you to Victoria?"

The horn still remembers; not only Sarkaz, but even the Grand Duke has been searching for this little fox for so long, and now he has actually appeared here on his own.

"Hmm... I guess you could say I'm here for tourism?"

The little fox thought about it for a moment and realized that it really did feel like a tourist, having taken Cecilia to so many places.

"Besides you and your sister, who else came with you?"

No, not at all.

"That won't do, Meixue."

After all, he's her best friend's younger brother and part-time boyfriend, so Bagpipe cares a lot about Mei Xue. Although she's a bit slow, she's not stupid. There must be a reason why the Grand Duke and the Sarkaz are looking for the little fox.

"Although I don't know why, the Sarkaz have gone to great lengths to find you. If you get caught by them, it will definitely not be good. So you must avoid places like Lontinim."

"But I'm planning to go to Lentinium."

Gently biting into the apple, the little fox seemed completely unconcerned about its safety.

"Aren't you afraid the Sarkaz will hurt you?"

"Don't worry, they can't beat me."

Holding her nine tails, Mei Xue said that having power does indeed allow one to be willful. As the Doctor once said: Power is the foundation for upholding justice.

Chapter 84 The Schrödinger's Size of Plum Blossoms

"Wow, Mei Xue's cooking is really delicious! It's much better than Chen Chen's cooking. All she knows how to do is make instant noodles."

If anyone at this dinner table is the most uninhibited, it has to be Fengdi. This girl has no idea what "other people's home" means; she looks more like the owner of this house than Qinliu.

"Is my sister's cooking not good enough?"

The little fox twitched its ears. To be honest, it had never actually seen Chen Huijie cook before, but it had always felt that Chen Huijie's cooking skills were not bad, after all, her knife skills were so strong.

"Chenchen's cooking skills are inversely proportional to her swordsmanship. When we were studying together, I was the one who cooked for her. Sigh, Chenchen was such a worry back then. She was so straightforward and had a terrible temper."

As Fengdi recounted Chen Huijie's past, Mei Xue couldn't help but begin to doubt whether the person she was talking about was the same person she knew. In the little fox's memory, Chen Huijie was clearly a hardworking, capable, gentle, good-tempered, and doting older sister.

"You say others are troublesome, but aren't you the same? Last time when you were drunk, you said that every time it's time to hand in homework, you hug someone's leg and cry your heart out."

She bluntly interrupted Bagpipes's words, but Horn had to admit that the little fox's cooking was really delicious; she herself ate three big bowls.

As for Mei Xue's earlier statement that Sarkaz was no match for him, it was taken as a child's joke by the horn and bagpipes.

"Captain, don't expose me in front of the kids."

Fengdi was a little embarrassed. Such a dark history would be embarrassing for anyone, let alone the fact that Meixue and Chen Huijie had a special relationship.

"I'm not small, Sister Bagpipe. Well, I just don't look that big."

Mei Xue took out a handkerchief and wiped Cecilia's mouth. Although Mei Xue was used to treating himself as a child and acting with a child's mindset, it didn't mean that he was really just a child. Moreover, now that they were out and about, it was just him, Cecilia, and Mandra the cat. Mei Xue felt that he had to take on the responsibilities of an older brother and couldn't just act like a child anymore.

"Is that so? But Meixue, you... you're so small."

Mei Xue is indeed very small, that's true. A petite little fox is perfect as a cushion. If you look closely, you'll find that his tail is actually bigger than his whole body. Normally, it would be extremely inconvenient for him to walk. But Mei Xue is not an ordinary person. His tail exists more as a symbol of power.

“He has been like this ever since I met Mei Xue, and four years have passed without any change.”

Qin Liu put down her chopsticks and compared the image of Mei Xue from four years ago with her memory, then suddenly realized something.

"Meixue, have you gotten shorter?"

"..."
