Talulah, I'm still a child.

That's right, it's still the best way... Wait, why use the word "still"? She's never done anything like this before.

"But……"

"Talulah!"

Just as Mei Xue was about to remind Talulah, Chen Huijie stormed over angrily. The other party let out a lion's roar, which almost scared Talulah out of her wits. Her long, thin tail straightened up in an instant. You see, she hadn't even figured out what reason to use to coax, no, to communicate properly with her sister.

Talulah still doesn't understand why, even though it's the first time she's met Mei Xue and she's not a frivolous person, she has this urge to pack up this little fox and take her home. Something's not right. The more Talulah thinks about it, the stranger it seems. If Alina and Chen Huijie find out, they'll at least lock her up in the Guard Bureau for a chat.

"We agreed that those who arrive first would have to wait at least ten minutes. I only had time to catch a thief, and you're only three minutes late and you... you..."

Chen Huijie was already prepared to confront her, since it was her birthday today, and besides, Talulah wouldn't be unable to wait three minutes. However, when she arrived at the intersection of the commercial street and didn't see her, she assumed that Talulah had also been delayed by something.

However, at that moment, Talulah had forgotten that she was supposed to go shopping with her sister. She was too busy looking at Mei Xue's face. Sister? What sister? She didn't know her.

Then, Chen Huijie waited at the intersection for about ten minutes. At that time, she did not expect that Talulah was in Cecilia's cake shop. She just turned her head and missed seeing Mei Xue and Talulah leave. In the end, she couldn't stand it anymore and called Talulah.

Based on the superintendent's experience in solving cases, Chen Huijie keenly analyzed the noise around Talulah and accurately located her position as a clothing store, which led him to her location.

In the past, Chen Huijie would have scolded her older sister in every way. Although she was late first, the two had made an agreement that even if one arrived first, the other should wait for at least ten minutes. However, when Chen Huijie saw Mei Xue peeking out from beside Talulah, the anger in her heart was like a candle thrown into water, unable to ignite.

No, let alone anger, her heart was completely cold now, but Chen Huijie could still feel her ears burning. She quickly restrained her bold attitude and subconsciously reached out to straighten her scarf. She regretted that she had been in such a hurry to leave work that she hadn't changed her clothes and had come over in her Guard Bureau uniform.

(Chen Huijie, Chen Huijie, why can't you control your temper? What if you scared someone by shouting so loudly just now?)

A thousand thoughts flashed through Chen Huijie's mind in an instant. She snapped back to reality in the blink of an eye, ignoring her sister who had stood her up. She walked around Talulah and bent down to look at Mei Xue.

For some reason, she felt that the little fox looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before. She was particularly interested in him and had a strong liking for him, a feeling that she couldn't explain.

"Cute little one, what's your name?"

Chen Huijie couldn't resist reaching out and placing her hand on Mei Xue's little head, gently stroking his fox ears with her fingers and rubbing them. This wonderfully comfortable feeling was simply irresistible.

"Plum Blossom Snow".

The little fox squinted and rubbed against Chen Huijie's palm. He didn't mind the gesture. Chen Huijie used to like to rub him too. It seemed that doing this made her, as the older sister, feel more relied upon.

"Mei Xue, what a beautiful name. Plum blossoms stand proudly in the snow, symbolizing perseverance. She looks quite adorable though."

"Guru Guru~"

Mei Xue is very cute, that goes without saying. The little fox was already very eye-catching on the street, and with Chen Huijie's actions just now, everyone's attention couldn't help but turn around.

Feeling very comfortable being massaged by Chen Huijie, Mei Xue couldn't help but squint her eyes and let out a sound that was unclear but exceptionally cute. Talulah could almost hear that more than a dozen people were already shamelessly coming over to ask Mei Xue for her contact information, regardless of gender. The little fox's irresistible charm.

However, what made Talulah even more unhappy was her younger sister, Chen Huijie. Of course, she was also very dissatisfied with Mei Xue. She had just fed her so much cake, and this little fox had been so easily won over by Chen Huijie. It was really embarrassing. Damn it, this stupid fox, has she forgotten who treated you to dinner?

Despite her anger, Talulah couldn't really get angry at Mei Xue. The moment she saw the little fox, her mind was filled with thoughts of their married life together, so she couldn't possibly stay angry.

"...Hello, is this the Royal Guard Bureau? I suspect someone is trying to kidnap a child. Oh right, the person is wearing a Royal Guard Bureau uniform, carrying two swords, and is a dragon. Hmm, you say you can't mess with them?"

Hearing someone nearby call the police, Chen Huijie's smile instantly froze. She couldn't help but look at Talulah, wanting to ask her older sister if she had looked strange just now.

Then I saw Talulah just hang up the phone. Yes, she was the one who cried wolf just now.

"Are you seriously ill?"

"Superintendent Chan, I advise you not to break the law."

Despite being extremely close sisters, they appeared to be at odds with each other. To passersby, their auras suddenly seemed to intensify, as if they were about to engage in a fight. However, Mei Xue's tail gently swayed past their eyes, successfully interrupting them.

"Sisters, what are you doing?"

The little fox looked confused and puzzled, but he was also a little helpless. Chen Huijie and Talulah still loved him, so even if they didn't remember who he was, they still subconsciously wanted to fight for and protect him. But Mei Xue really just wanted to see what flaws the world he had created had. When the two of them were arguing earlier, he had secretly updated the world and added three patches along the way.

Suddenly remembering that Mei Xue was still beside them, Talulah and Chen Huijie both chose to stop fighting. For them, it was impossible to actually start a fight in the street, and they felt that they couldn't really fight in front of Mei Xue.

"It's nothing, we were just exchanging glances. By the way, Mei Xue, what's your relationship with Talulah?"

As a close friend of many years, Chen Huijie couldn't possibly not know Talulah's friends, and she had even met the more obscure Raphsini several times. However, this was the first time she had seen Mei Xue and Talulah together. If she had met Mei Xue once before, unless she was reincarnated, Chen Huijie would never have forgotten Mei Xue.

"This... cough cough, he's my younger brother."

Talulah quickly answered before Meixue could let something slip.

"Your brother? Don't try to fool me with nonsense. Do you think I don't know your parents? Which one is Wolper?"

At this point, Chen Huijie gave Talulah a disdainful glare. Everyone knew each other well, yet they were pretending to be naive.

Regarding Talulah and Chen Huijie's parents, in the original old world, they were half-sisters with the same mother but different fathers. However, since Talulah's parents were both dead and she didn't care about Chen Huijie's father at all, Mei Xue had to make some changes, deliberately blurring that memory so that Chen Huijie and Talulah could still be sisters.

However, it seems that whether or not they are related by blood, it doesn't affect the relationship between the two sisters at all.

"Not the younger brother."

Mei Xue wagged her tail and couldn't help but correct her, but these words made Talulah tense up. Was this little fox going to be honest at this moment?

"Alright, Meixue, tell Sister Chen, what is your relationship with this older sister who doesn't seem like a good person?"

While asking Mei Xue, Chen Huijie couldn't help but glance at Talulah. Although she didn't show it, the little gesture of her fingers tapping her thigh revealed that she was feeling guilty.

Mei Xue didn't hesitate or waver at all when faced with this question, nor did he try to hide anything. He simply raised his hand calmly, and the ring on his middle finger was particularly eye-catching.

"They are husband and wife."

New World IV. Real Couple!?

Life's unexpected events always come suddenly. That's how life is—a rollercoaster of ups and downs. You might be out one morning with a few dollars in your pocket from your parents, running out with your schoolbag without even eating breakfast, only to be transported to another world by a truck.

Chen Huijie felt as if her brain had been hit by a truck. She must be hallucinating because of the stress she was under today, otherwise she couldn't explain why she had heard those three words.

Not to mention Chen Huijie, even Talulah herself was dumbfounded. She also wondered if she had misheard or if there was something wrong with her ears. Otherwise, she would go to Rhodes Island Hospital to ask Kal'tsit for help.

"Um... Mei Xue, what did you say?"

Clinging to a sliver of hope, Chen Huijie couldn't help but continue asking, but her eyes were fixed on the ring on Mei Xue's hand. It was a meticulously designed and crafted ring, clearly not an ordinary piece, especially given its shape.

The silver ring is carved into the shape of a dragon with its head and tail connected, its wings and limbs folded, and a blue gemstone set between its horns, making it exceptionally unique.

However, what surprised Chen Huijie was not only that, but others might not be able to tell. She knew best that the ring was clearly engraved with the emblem of Draco. Talulah had shown it to her before, and at that time, this guy had confidently patted his chest and said that if he ever had someone he liked in the future, he would definitely design a ring for him based on this design.

But that was only last month! How come this ring is already finished, and it's even on Mei Xue's hand? Could it be...?

All the guesses in her mind and the information she had previously obtained pointed to one conclusion. Chen Huijie shifted her gaze to Talulah, her eyes gradually turning into disdain and disgust. She also reached into her bag. As a senior superintendent, it was quite reasonable for her to always carry handcuffs when she went out.

"Huijie, calm down! We've been sisters for so many years, how could you not know me?"

Talulah panicked instantly. The key point was that she really didn't know that she and Meixue had this kind of relationship. Although she was happy to develop such a relationship, it wasn't now. The little fox now... oh, she had just assumed that Meixue was sixteen years old.

In short, I need to prove my innocence now! Otherwise, my good sister will personally send me to the Guard Bureau's jail!

"I know you too well, otherwise how could I possibly doubt you?"

Chen Huijie snorted coldly. Upon reflection, this wasn't the first time Talulah had shown such interest. Previously, she had once said something like "it's so nice" to a boy younger than herself.

If Talulah knew that Chen Huijie actually viewed her this way, she would definitely cry foul. She was just lamenting her lost childhood. After all, she had an unreliable aunt named Kasheena when she was young, and later she focused on improving her abilities and didn't participate much in social activities, thus missing out on a beautiful period of her life. So at that time, she really didn't have any other thoughts.

It's just that she's met the right person now. It's not that she likes cute little boys, it's just that the person she likes happens to look like a cute little boy. No, anyone over 1.4 meters tall is a teenager!

"But I really... I only met Mei Xue today!"

"Really?"

"Really, just now, I was waiting for you, and then I saw Mei Xue standing in front of Cecilia's cake shop..."

Driven to desperation and driven by a strong will to survive, Talulah quickly confessed her crimes—no, she confessed the whole story of how she met Mei Xue—like popping beans. After hearing it, Chen Huijie felt his fists harden.

Well, while I was catching a petty thief on my way here, you managed to hook up with someone and even ate cake with him while I was waiting for you. You really have no humanity when it comes to the opposite sex. Are we still sisters?

However, this explains the relationship between Mei Xue and Talulah. Chen Huijie is a seasoned judge and knows Talulah well. Although she may have some bad habits, there's nothing wrong with what she said earlier.

In other words, it was Mei Xue who lied to everyone?

Chen Huijie looked at Mei Xue. The little fox still had a smile that made people feel relaxed. There was no sign of him lying at all. On the contrary, it gave people the feeling that he was completely incapable of lying.

Passersby had long forgotten they were there to shop. Regardless of age or gender, everyone stopped and looked on curiously. They were first attracted by the striking sisters, Talulah and Chen Huijie. Talulah was alright, as she wasn't that well-known. But Chen Huijie was different. She was a senior superintendent in Lungmen Police Department, and there were even rumors that Lungmen Governor Wei Yanwu had already designated her as his successor. The phrase "promising future" was not even appropriate to describe Chen Huijie.

But once people noticed Mei Xue, they couldn't take their eyes off her. Almost everyone seemed to see something they liked in Mei Xue, perhaps her fluffy tail, her cute face, or her innocent and naive temperament. It didn't matter who she was.

There's always something about Mei Xue that attracts them. It stems from Mei Xue's uniqueness; he symbolizes the positive side of fate and is like hope to others. Anyone who sees Mei Xue will see a bright future where their wishes come true, and naturally, they will like him.

"This isn't a good place to chat, let's go."

The people around her were a bit conspicuous, and Chen Huijie frowned slightly. She didn't want the Dragon Gate Express to publish gossip about Superintendent Chen and the boss of Integrated Enterprise confronting each other in the street over a little fox.

Because Chen Huijie had a certain reputation, no one dared to stop them. However, after the group left, everyone couldn't help but scratch their heads. Why didn't they continue shopping? Why were they standing there like idiots, playing "Red Light, Green Light"?

I feel like I've forgotten something, but at the same time, I feel like I haven't forgotten anything. Oh well, let's keep shopping.

And so, without a sound, everyone's subconscious was changed. Mei Xue's tail gently patted his head to indicate that everything was settled. After the last separation, the little fox's tail had become more independent. However, they still liked and were more used to following behind Mei Xue. Being hugged by the little fox was really wonderful.

They found a quiet coffee shop and ordered a private room. Chen Huijie led Talulah and Mei Xue inside, then locked the door without saying a word. He even used his superintendent's professionalism to check the room to make sure there were no eavesdroppers or hidden cameras before he breathed a sigh of relief.

"So... let's sort this out properly. First of all, Mei Xue, you and Talulah haven't known each other for very long, have you?"

"That's how it is for my older sister."

The little fox answered sincerely that he would not lie, especially to his sisters. However, those harmless lies from before could not be called lying; they were tactical concealment of information.

"The sister you're talking about is Talulah?"

"Ah."

"So, from what you're saying, you've known Talulah for a long time?"

Having worked for the Guard Bureau, Chen Huijie quickly noticed something unusual in Mei Xue's words. He said "for my sister," which meant that for the little fox herself, this was not their first meeting.

"It is."

"So, where did you get this ring from?"

That ring was the part that Chen Huijie and Talulah couldn't understand the most. It was indeed a design that Talulah had spent more than a month coming up with. It looked very simple, and in reality... it was still very simple. Talulah was not a person with much design talent. This ring might seem very good to others, but it was not particularly eye-catching. Talulah had always barely passed the design class at the Royal Academy.

However, until Mei Xue appeared, this thing only existed on Talulah's design drafts. Why did it suddenly appear in Mei Xue's hands? This is unreasonable and unscientific.

"This is... a gift from the person I love most."

He didn't lie, and Mei Xue wouldn't allow himself to lie about this. He still remembered the scene of Talulah proposing to him that night, from her initial shyness, worry, and timidity, to her fearless declaration of love and handing over the ring, and finally her excited embrace of him, using flames to create a heart shape that encircled the two of them.

Even now, just thinking about Mei Xue still makes Chen Huijie's lips curl into a smile, radiating an aura of happiness. This makes Chen Huijie feel a little uncomfortable for some reason. It's not that she's unhappy with Mei Xue, but rather she feels a bit resentful towards her good friend Talulah. She doesn't know why, but she just feels uncomfortable, like someone has stolen the cabbage she painstakingly raised.

"You love Mei Xue too?"

"Of course!"

The little fox wagged its tail proudly and looked at Talulah, who was still a little confused but felt very happy, as if the lover Mei Xue mentioned was her.
