Talulah, I'm still a child.

Unlike her other somewhat surprised "good sisters," Linglan's smile was as relaxed and sunny as ever. Her acting skills were consistently excellent; she remembered everything but still managed to pretend to be someone who had just found out.

Upon hearing this, Rosemary and Witch couldn't help but look at Lily of the Valley.

"Lily of the Valley, do you know him?"

Rosemary's voice was always as calm as her expression, but this time, Lily of the Valley heard a barely perceptible excitement hidden in her voice. She knew this would happen. In the old world, Rosemary's obsession with Mei Xue was almost materialized. She was originally a somewhat yandere person. Even though all her memories were now sealed in the deepest part, she still had an instinctive liking for Mei Xue.

(However, during this period, it's fine to leave Talulah alone, but Rosemary, you should just stay a background character.)

Because of Su Xue'er's existence, Linglan was well aware that the transitional period of this new world would not last long, so she did not intend to let Mei Xue and her best friends mingle together. This time, it was a competition between her and Talulah.

"I know him. My relationship with Brother Meixue is... well, it's quite close."

As she spoke, Linglan stepped forward and gently took Cecilia out of Meixue's arms. The little angel didn't want to let go, but for some reason, she suddenly felt a chill down her back and instinctively felt that letting go would be better. That's how Linglan easily took her off.

With Cecilia in the middle, Linglan and Meixue stood together, their smiles radiating happiness.

"Me and Brother Meixue are considered to be engaged."

"..."

It seemed as if a breeze blew by, causing everyone's ears to have a slight illusion. Rosemary and Witch couldn't help but twitch their ears, wondering if they had misheard.

However, Suzuran did not repeat herself. She simply smiled, reached out and took Cecilia's hand, while Cecilia's other hand was clasped with Meixue's.

The main color of lily of the valley is gold, as dazzling as the morning sun, yet not too eye-catching; the main color of plum blossom is snow white, not only like the snow in early winter, but also like a flawless gem, making people want to possess it while also wanting to protect it.

These two, if you don't call them a match made in heaven, a perfect couple, or a golden couple, then it would be a miracle if they didn't get married on the spot. Why did the author think of making Talulah the female lead instead of Suzuran?

Oh, the author doesn't want to die yet? Then it's all over.

Most importantly, Cecilia between the two of them looks like their child at this moment. The little angel has the sunny gentleness of Lily of the Valley and the lively innocence of Snow. If it weren't for the fact that this is the garden of Rhodes Island Elementary School, everyone would probably think that this is a family of three on vacation.

"Ugh?"

Mei Xue remained stunned for a long time before finally realizing what Ling Lan had said. However, the little fox had no idea what Ling Lan was planning, since Mei Xue herself acknowledged their relationship.

He never expected that Linglan would expose their relationship at this time. Would this be more fun for this little fox girl? Wait a minute, could it be that his older sister, Su Xue'er, is in control of the body right now?

"...Wait a minute, Lily of the Valley, why have I never heard you mention him before?"

Ifrit was quick-witted. Although her studies were rather poor, it didn't mean she was stupid. She had known Suzuran for so many years and they had even been to Suzuran's house, but she had never heard any news about this little fox. It was too suspicious that they would suddenly appear as engaged today.

Moreover, Ifrit keenly noticed that Suzuran's personality seemed to have undergone some subtle changes. No, calling it a change might not be appropriate; it should be called revealing her true nature.

Before Meixue came out, we could still be sisters, but now... I'm sorry, at most I'll invite you all to my wedding banquet.

Sisterhood? What sisterhood? There's no such thing, it doesn't exist. When you're single, you can be sisters, but once you're in a relationship, ha... you're all philandering vixens!

Although Lily of the Valley and Plum Blossom look more like fox spirits, Lily of the Valley usually refers to herself as Plum Blossom's legal wife, perfectly avoiding Talulah, the legal wife.

“Because in the past, Brother Meixue wasn’t here. He was always traveling all over the world, so even if I mentioned things about him, you wouldn’t know.”

After spending a lot of time with Su Xue'er, Linglan gradually became much more cunning. She was originally very smart and was the type who was good at scheming, but she usually preferred to be the well-behaved, cute, positive and sunny girl. This cunning side of her only seemed to show in front of Mei Xue.

"Aren't you right, Brother Meixue?"

As she spoke, Linglan stretched out her tail and poked Meixue's waist. The little fox came back to her senses and nodded slightly, acknowledging the relationship between the two. It felt like Linglan had unexpectedly let loose a bit after learning that this was a short-term test server. Should the little fox tell her that the memories of this world would still be inherited after the new world officially opened?

"I don't think so..."

Wu Lian frowned slightly. Although Linglan and Meixue did look like a perfect match when they stood together, she just felt something was off, or rather, she felt from the bottom of her heart that it was inappropriate and uncomfortable.

"I do not agree to this marriage."

Rosemary's expression remained unchanged, but her tone was more resolute than before, with an unquestionable air about it. She regretted not rushing over first to knock the little fox unconscious and stuff it into the bushes. Yes, she liked Mei Xue, a love at first sight!

She has no memory, but her personality remains. Rosemary has always been a very assertive person. If the little cat wants the fox spirit, even Amiya can't compete with her for it.

"That's right, and you two don't look that old, it's hard to believe you're engaged."

Although it's hard to say that Mei Xue and Ling Lan are inappropriate standing together, Ifrit instinctively doesn't want to admit it, just like seeing someone she likes standing next to someone who isn't her.

“But that’s really our relationship. By the way, why did Brother Meixue come to Rhodes Island?”

Although seeing Meixue here was an extremely happy thing, it was not what Linglan expected. She had originally planned to wait until after school in the afternoon to go find Meixue, but she never expected that the little fox would actually come to her door.

"I came for a check-up... but I mainly wanted to see Cecilia!"

Seeing that the first half of his sentence seemed to have made the little angel a little unhappy, Mei Xue quickly changed his words. He was easy to talk to about others, but what he couldn't stand the little angel's disappointed look was. He always felt that he had her completely under his control.

You have to understand that Mei Xue only has one younger sister. If she doesn't spoil her, who else can she spoil? A daughter? That hasn't even been born yet.

Upon hearing this, Cecilia, who had been somewhat displeased, immediately beamed with joy, hugged Meixue's waist, and nuzzled against her. This made Linglan a little jealous, but after all, it was Cecilia, and arguing with her would only make things difficult for herself. The little angel probably didn't have any feelings for Meixue yet; she was still so young.

"By the way, Brother Meixue, would you like to come to my house for dinner tonight? My mom says she really likes you. Oh, and me too, I like you a lot, brother."

The little angel hadn't yet realized her mother's true intentions. She simply liked Mei Xue and wanted to be with him. She didn't care where these feelings came from; she was happy just to see Mei Xue.

"Want to come to your house for dinner?"

"Hmm! Mom said there are spare rooms in the house that my brother can stay in. Brother, can you come to my house?"

(If he really goes to your house, then he won't be your brother, he'll be your dad.)

Linglan and Su Xue'er thought the same thing at the same time. They knew all too well how much effort Mei Xue had put in to fill those loopholes, but they also felt helpless. The little fox had actually taken over Cecilia's father's fate. If he were to move into Cecilia's house, what else could they say? He would probably move in today and be invited out tomorrow.

"No, Cecilia, Brother Meixue promised to come home with me today."

When did I ever agree to that?

“My dearest Anjing.”

The tail blocked Mei Xue's mouth. Ling Lan rubbed her temples helplessly. To be honest, Mei Xue was good in every way, except that she could never keep her mouth shut, and her emotional intelligence was like a sine curve, fluctuating up and down.

However, it seems there's no way to get the others out of the way.

New World Chapter 24: Mei Xue, Devastated

Elementary school lets out early, and it's only eleven o'clock now, so Linglan and the others aren't in a hurry to eat. Besides, they've run into Meixue, so they can play together for a while.

Oh, right, Mei Xue was the one who was played, although it's not entirely accurate to say that, but that's really how it was.

"How do you take care of this tail? It's so smooth!"

"So comfortable..."

"Brother Meixue, look! It can write on its tail!"

Sitting on the bench, feeling utterly hopeless, Mei Xue increasingly regretted running away here. How could this be? Cecilia was one thing, and Linglan was understandable, but why did everyone else, even without memories, still treat him like family? This didn't make sense!

Faced with this scene, Linglan didn't know what to say. She could only understand that Meixue was too easy to bully. They had only known each other for a few minutes, but Rosemary and the others simply stopped pretending and started tugging at Meixue here and there, each grabbing one of Meixue's tails. While marveling at how soft and smooth the little fox's fur felt, they started touching her without any politeness.

"Brother Meixue is still so popular."

"Ugh... I have a feeling this isn't all good."

Mei Xue twitched her ears helplessly, but thankfully, although the girls had taken her tails to play with, it wouldn't affect Mei Xue's speed in repairing the new world. The little fox's tails were still working diligently. However, what Mei Xue didn't quite understand was that since she entered Rhodes Island, the tails had detected another very strange reaction.

If you call it a loophole, it doesn't cause any corresponding unreasonableness in the rules; if you call it a contradiction, it doesn't cause any logical errors.

If we compare the new world to a vast ocean, and everyone is a fish living in it, then Mei Xue's efforts to repair loopholes and contradictions are like planning living areas for the fish, while this strange, extra reaction is like a fish that is quite different from everyone else.

How different is it? It's a freshwater fish.

However, this freshwater fish hasn't caused any trouble yet, so the little fox simply left it alone. Mei Xue's intuition told him that if he really wanted to solve this problem, it would require a lot of effort, which might lead to the inability to deal with the remaining contradictions and loopholes in time, making it a losing proposition.

(But let's still find out what that anomaly is.)

Mei Xue wagged her tail slightly, then glanced helplessly at Rosemary and the others. Well, at least we should wait until these girls have had their fill of fun.

Wu Lian was alright; her personality was rather aloof, and she didn't have the same strong possessiveness and controlling desire towards Mei Xue as Rosemary did. So she simply held Mei Xue's tail, curiously looking it up and down, as if wondering how Mei Xue's tail could grow so long. Compared to her tail, Mei Xue herself appeared exceptionally petite.

However, Mei Xue's tail was very light, and even in the summer it didn't make people feel hot. In short, it was very pleasing to the eye. At least judging from Rosemary's reaction, she was very satisfied.

"Meow~"

Rosemary reached out her paw and gently scratched the tip of Meixue's tail. It seemed that Rosemary was using the little fox's tail as a cat toy. Meixue's tail cooperated with her, swaying gently to tease the kitten and deliberately arouse her interest.

After all, the one in front of Rosemary was the most lively and fun-loving Tail Number One, while Wu Lian's side had Tail Number Two, and Cecilia's side had Tail Number Four.

Xiao Tian used Mei Xue's tail as a height ruler to measure his height, then jumped up and ran to Mei Xue.

"Brother! Do you think I've grown taller?"

"Sigh, growing taller?"

Mei Xue seemed to have heard something incredible. She looked up at Cecilia in front of her, hesitated for a moment, then stood up and placed her hand on Cecilia's head.

It was placed steadily, then moved horizontally, finally stopping at Mei Xue's chest. The little fox's ears perked up, and it nodded.

"You have indeed grown taller, by about... one centimeter."

"That's great! But why do you look so unhappy, brother?"

Cecilia had just cheered when she realized that Mei Xue didn't seem as happy as she had imagined. Rather, the little fox seemed a bit disappointed.

"No, I'm so happy, it's true."

“But brother, you look just like Cecilia when she’s about to cry.”

The little angel opened his arms and hugged Mei Xue tightly, pressing them together. He looked up at the little fox's beautiful, deep blue eyes, which were originally clear but now had a hazy, watery quality, making it seem as if the little fox might burst into tears at any moment. Cecilia reached out and gently patted Mei Xue's head.

"Brother, don't cry, brother, don't cry."

Although she didn't know why Meixue was sad, Cecilia's mother always comforted her in this way whenever she was about to cry, so the little angel now uses the same trick to soothe the little fox.

"Lily of the Valley, what's wrong with your fiancé? Did we hurt his tail?"

Although she still didn't quite approve of the relationship between Suzuran and Meiyuki, Ifrit had no choice. The little fox herself had admitted it, so she would just use that name for now. Although she felt that calling her Meiyuki directly would be fine, she just couldn't bring herself to say it.

"I don't think so. Brother Meixue was just thinking about some sad things."

As Mei Xue's fiancée, and with a significant portion of Su Xue'er's personality fragments residing within her, in this new world test server where everyone has lost their memories, Linglan should be the person who understands Mei Xue the most. However, perhaps we should exclude exceptional individuals like the Doctor, who, it is said, knew Mei Xue's sensitive spots even when she had amnesia.

There aren't many things that can break Mei Xue's defenses these days, but coincidentally, height is one of them. For Cecilia, growing taller is something to be happy about.

But for the little fox who was already not growing taller, this was bad news. Cecilia and Suzuran were both shorter than him, but because Suzuran had bigger ears and occasionally tried high heels, she looked about the same height as Meixue.

But Cecilia is different. The little angel always likes to be close to Mei Xue, so Mei Xue knows her height best. Before, Cecilia only reached his chest, and she was taller when sitting on his lap.

However, Cecilia has grown taller now. Although she may not be taller than Meixue this time, she is only a few years old. She will have a second and third growth spurt in the future. The little fox can almost see himself being held in Cecilia's arms and having his head rubbed. Although that scene is heartwarming, he doesn't want it.

In the future, everyone will grow taller, but Mei Xue will remain at this height. Just thinking about it makes the little fox feel a little sad. Isn't this bullying the fox?

"It's all the doctor's fault, it's all her fault..."
