Talulah, I'm still a child.

Seemingly sensing the pleasant atmosphere, the Crimson Sky sword hanging on the wall jumped out and landed in Mei Xue's hand, its tip pointing directly at Chen Huijie. The meaning was clear: she wanted to change masters.

Use Crimson Sky on her!

"How could that be possible?" Mei Xue thought to herself. She put away Chi Xiao, then climbed up to Chen Huijie and helplessly lifted her chin, gently kissing the corner of her mouth.

"If that's what you want to do, I'm fine with it, but you should eat properly first. And besides, you don't smell very good right now."

After all, Chen Huijie had worked all day. Unlike Mei Xue, who was naturally alluring and had a pleasant fragrance, Chen Huijie was not. The little fox had a very keen sense of smell, and if he could, he would have thrown Chen Huijie into the bathroom.

"So it's okay after taking a shower?"

"...Don't bite me."

With this additional condition added, Mei Xue essentially accepted Chen Huijie's statement. After all, she didn't mind that kind of intimacy. Chen Huijie's embrace was comfortable, and her chest felt good too. It's just that, like Texas, she sometimes bit too hard, making Mei Xue's bite hurt a little.

"Shall we sleep together tonight?"

Chen Huijie looked at Mei Xue expectantly. This was what she wanted most. Ever since she slept with Mei Xue last night, she understood what kind of enviable life Talulah had lived before. Not only did she have three big tails to hold in her arms, but she could also take advantage of Mei Xue at any time.

"can."

The little fox gently wagged its tail, ignoring the black snake's complaints in its head. Anyway, it didn't think Chen Huijie would eat it or put it in a sack and sell it. It was just a nap.

However, Mei Xue was unaware that all the commotion and conversation had been overheard by Nian, who was far away in the hot pot restaurant. In anger, she crushed the metal object in her hand, and at the same time, the small metal piece hidden in Mei Xue's hair turned into something that would evaporate completely in no time.

"I am Chen Huijie!"

Chapter 91: The Female Lead, Linglan, in Action

Miss Nian was very distressed. As someone who was raised by Mei Xue, she knew Mei Xue's true nature very well. In the past, Mei Xue was the type who would grant any request from her siblings. He was not good at refusing and would subconsciously respond to other people's wishes. Because of this, everyone, including Nian, had some unspeakable feelings towards him.

However, after the last one of them found himself and received his own name, Mei Xue suddenly disappeared. It was only years later that they learned what she had done that was worthy of being recorded in the Great Yan Temple. Many of her brothers and sisters were also willing to serve the Great Yan, at least they would not cause harm to the region.

But now, she has finally found Mei Xue, and she has lost her previous memories and is simple-minded. It is the perfect opportunity to win her over. Nian had already prepared to investigate Mei Xue's hobbies and daily routines, but now someone suddenly appears who wants to be her stepmother. Can she agree to that?

Damn it, even if her own mother came, she wouldn't agree to this marriage, let alone her stepmother!

"Chen Huijie, tsk... that brat Wei Yanwu, is he deliberately causing me trouble?"

Nian rubbed her hands together. She wouldn't allow anyone but herself to be Xi and Ling's stepmother! They were her sisters; how could she let an outsider be their stepmother? No one could change that!

No, we need to find a way to get rid of Chen Huijie. How about we make a big firecracker and stuff it in her office? That won't work, that would be too obvious. How about we just blow up the entire Guard Bureau? That's not good either, that would throw Lungmen into chaos.

"I wonder if the Great Yan already knows... It would be terrible if they informed Third Sister."

Nian scratched her head. She was most helpless with her third sister, Ling. To be honest, Ling was too terrible as a competitor. At the time, everyone thought that Ling was the most likely to end up with Mei Xue. As the eldest sister (first among the sisters and third among the brothers and sisters), Ling had spent the most time with Mei Xue, understood her personality the best, and was the best at judging the situation.

Now, whenever I think back to when I was little, I called Ling "Mom" and Meixue "Dad," and I wish I could erase that memory from my head. I was young and naive back then. Only when I grew up did I realize that Xi and I were practically helping my sister out.

So, in short, if Ling finds out about Mei Xue's appearance and rushes here, things will get really, really bad! It'll be like encountering the final boss in a beginner's village.

However, it is still unclear whether the Great Yan side did send people, but they did not issue any orders or recall the millet that was far away on the frontier. They only sent a pair of inspectors and a mirror.

Mei Xue was unaware of these things. The little fox was taking a bath at the moment. Chen Huijie had drooled all over him earlier, and since Chen Huijie was eating, Mei Xue could take a bath now.

Miss Black Snake was still engrossed in her research. She seemed to have gained some inspiration from Chixiao earlier, and asked Meixue to stuff Chixiao into her tail for her research. Chixiao itself was a sword that could be called a divine weapon, and it was made using ancient methods, so it seemed to have special features.

However, the little fox didn't understand any of that. He was chatting with his online friends right now. Needless to say, he was already in regular contact with Linglan. He also learned that the "Latland Wheelchair Shooting Champion" was named Remian. The little fox twitched his ears and couldn't help but smile as he looked at the reply on the screen.

[So that's how it is. Meixue, you can already earn your own money. That's amazing... When my sister was your age, all she knew how to do was blow up schools.]

Remian couldn't help but sigh that there really is a difference between people. When Exusiai was 14 years old, the things Remian did for her the most were attending parent-teacher conferences and apologizing to the teachers. At that time, Exusiai was already known as the "school bomb maniac" in Laterano. Later, she bombed the school seventeen times in three years, making people wonder if she was a bomber in her past life.

It's not that amazing, but I won the lottery today!

How much did you win?

Hmm... around thirty million, but we'll have to deduct a portion later.

Looking at the reply on the screen, Remy felt her heart skip a beat. If she hadn't already figured out that Mei Xue was the kind of person who wouldn't lie, she would have suspected that this little fox was just teasing her. More than 30 million... No, she had to find a way to trick him into becoming her brother-in-law. That way, Xiao Le's future would be secure.

Just as Remy was about to ask Mei Xue about her romantic history and family situation, a sudden sound from outside the door made her quickly put away her communicator. A moment later, a nurse came in, and Remy knew that her rehabilitation was about to begin. She sent Mei Xue a message saying she would talk to her later, and then let the nurse push her out of the room.

On the other side, Mei Xue helplessly sent a message to her sister saying goodbye, and then opened the text message that Ling Lan had just sent. It was a photo of a beautiful lily of the valley. Mei Xue remembered that Ling Lan had mentioned that she liked these flowers and plants very much.

Brother, can I make a phone call?

The news startled the little fox, but perhaps worried that he might overthink it, Linglan added, "It's not a video." Actually, even if it were a video, it wouldn't matter, since Meixue was soaking in the bathtub at the moment, and Linglan would just watch what she saw that day again.

【Can】

Upon seeing this reply, Linglan felt a great sense of relief and her mood improved considerably. She carefully pressed the call button and then went to sit on her bed, which, to be precise, was originally Meixue's bed.

The call was answered quickly. With a "Good evening," Linglan could hear the faint sound of water. Just as she had imagined, Meixue was indeed in the bathroom. Linglan subconsciously recalled the scene she had witnessed before, and her heart raced and her face turned red.

Good evening, brother.

It has to be said that Lily of the Valley's voice is very pleasant to listen to. It is soft and gentle, but not too weak or feeble. It gives people a very cute feeling. Mei Xue did not listen carefully last time.

"Hmm... what should we talk about next?"

"Anything is fine. Did your work go well today, brother?"

"Yeah, it went pretty smoothly. I even met our boss, who was a penguin..."

When it comes to work, Mei Xue has a lot to talk about. Ling Lan knows he's not the type to bring up topics, but that's okay, she'll take the lead.

Listening to the voice on the other end of the phone, I felt inexplicably happy, as if I were listening to him describe his day in person. Lily gently wagged her tail, feeling the changes in her emotions at that moment: joy, the expectation of being satisfied, and an inexpressible longing.

Perhaps this is what Shining told her about the feeling of being in love.

However, Linglan did not intend to tell Meixue yet. She knew that Meixue was probably not thinking about these things, and they were still young. Linglan decided to tell him something else.

"Um... Brother Meixue, I'll be arriving in Longmen in a few days. Could we meet then?"

When Linglan finished speaking, she felt her heart was about to jump out of her chest. She felt that the courage required to say these words was no less than stepping onto the battlefield. However, she never expected that Meixue on the other end of the phone would be so surprised that she would be stunned.

Chapter 92 The Two Foxes' Meeting Plan

To be fair, perhaps it's because Mei Xue has been kept too well guarded by the Penguin Logistics team lately that people subconsciously overlook the fact that this little fox actually has a social anxiety problem, but in reality, Mei Xue still hasn't gotten rid of this problem.

Previously, Mei Xue wasn't so afraid of Swire and Hoshiguma entirely because of Chen Huijie. Her trust in Nian came from her subconscious. The Penguin Logistics team also put in a lot of effort to build a good relationship with the little fox. These days, Mei Xue has only been interacting with these people. You know, he doesn't dare to look people in the eye when delivering packages. The little fox is still very shy.

But now that Linglan is coming to Lungmen and even took the initiative to ask to meet, Meixue felt very strange.

On one hand, he and Linglan should be considered acquaintances. They had known each other online for some time and knew each other's information, personality, and hobbies. Their relationship was not bad, even quite good. However, on the other hand, although they had video chatted once and made phone calls, they had never actually met in person. Mei Xue began to feel inexplicably flustered.

"What's wrong, brother? Is it not allowed?"

"Ah...no, it's that..."

Mei Xue was at a loss for words. Her tail, which was lying in the water, began to twitch restlessly. The little fox had never experienced anything like this before and had no experience whatsoever.

If he agrees, it means he has to meet Linglan. What if he upsets Linglan? Can they still be friends? But if he doesn't agree, will Linglan be disappointed on the other end of the phone? If that happens, Meixue will also feel uncomfortable.

Perhaps sensing Mei Xue's predicament, Ling Lan gently twirled her hair with her fingers, trying to calm herself down and make her tone sound more natural.

"Actually, it's okay if you don't agree, but... I want to talk to Brother Meixue face to face."

As Lily spoke, she tried to organize her thoughts to make her words sound less nonsensical and chaotic, but her heart was beating exceptionally fast. The special Rhodes Island-made suppressor around her neck brought her body back to its central nervous system. Warfarin, who was on duty, was almost stunned by the sight. If this heart rate-regulating drug were used on Kal'tsit, it would probably only have the effect of seeing Theresa resurrected. She quickly notified the person on duty to go and check on the situation.

However, Suzuran was unaware of this. She sat obediently and expressed her feelings to her sweetheart (or perhaps?) on the other end of the phone.

"Chatting together through a screen like this is really convenient, but I still want to see what kind of person my brother is up close. I want to eat his apple, touch his tail, and I also want him to touch my tail..."

At this point, Linglan was actually quite embarrassed, even feeling like a sly and naughty girl. Touching a tail was a very intimate act in her memory, but she really wanted to touch Meixue's tail. Amiya talked about how comfortable it was to hug Meixue's tail and how soft it was to touch, which made Linglan somewhat envious.

"But... it's okay if my brother doesn't want to. We're fine like this."

Hearing Linglan's words on the other end of the communicator, Meixue fell silent. The little fox could sense that Linglan genuinely wanted to meet him. Although he was still a little afraid of meeting face-to-face, he didn't want to disappoint his good friend. Linglan was the first friend he had ever taken the initiative to make, and she was a very special one.

"Okay, shall I come pick you up?"

In the end, Mei Xue agreed. He felt much lighter. No matter how much struggle and concern he had, all his worries would disappear when he got the answer. Mei Xue looked like he had been busy for a long time and leaned lazily against the edge of the bathtub.

There was no answer on the other end of the phone. Linglan was clearly lost in thought. She had actually prepared herself for Meixue's rejection. Although she liked him, they hadn't known each other for very long, and meeting him so soon wouldn't be a good choice. Linglan even regretted making such a request so quickly, because she hadn't really prepared herself mentally.

Like most unripe fruits, they may act on impulse and then regret it afterward. However, Linglan and Meixue are both very sensible. Although they both felt a little regretful for their impulsive agreement, they were more filled with anticipation.

Perhaps it was a true meeting of minds, as Mei Xue and Ling Lan spoke at the same time.

"I'll go find the lily of the valley!"

"I will go find my brother!"

Different words, same meaning. Linglan felt exceptionally sweet inside, but blushed with girlish shyness. She really didn't know how to continue the conversation, so she had to make up an excuse to hang up the phone.

"Um... Brother, I'm going to take a shower now, let's talk tomorrow!"

Without waiting for a reply, Linglan quickly hung up the phone and buried her head in her tail. She knew her face was burning hot enough to boil water.

Now that she had some space to think for herself, Linglan realized just how bold her words had been. It was practically a confession to Meixue, since touching each other's tails was something... No, thinking about it any longer would make her a bad kid.

Mei Xue, on the other end of the phone, put the communicator aside, took a deep breath, submerged himself in the water, and gently blew small bubbles. He was much shyer than Ling Lan, partly due to social anxiety, and partly because Ling Lan's words had truly touched his heart. Meeting his friend was a first for Mei Xue, and he felt he had to prepare well.

[What's wrong? You look blushing and you're still soaking in the water. Did Chen Huijie come by?]

Miss Black Snake emerged from her tail and looked at Mei Xue in her abnormal state. She felt as if she had missed something again. However, Mei Xue simply shook his head. He reached out and gently lifted Miss Black Snake up, then happily kissed her on the cheek, leaving Miss Black Snake completely stunned.

"What...what are you doing? I...I suddenly remembered I still have some things to adjust, so I'll go back and get back to work."

Without giving Mei Xue a chance to explain, Miss Black Snake quickly slithered back into her tail, leaving the little fox alone in the bathtub. However, he wasn't letting his mind wander; he was thinking about whether he should take better care of his tail, and what kind of lily of the valley would be a good gift for him.

After all, Suzuran is my first true friend, a very special person who needs extra care.

Chapter 93 Gifts Prepared for Each Other

Something's not right, something's very wrong. Chen Huijie noticed that Mei Xue had been acting strangely ever since she came out of the shower.

It's not that she's sick or anything, she just seems a bit absent-minded. The most obvious thing is that even when the little fox is watching Kamen Rider, she gets distracted. Something is definitely wrong. Something must have happened in the bathroom just now, which is why Mei Xue is so absent-minded.

"What's wrong, Mei Xue? Don't you like watching Kamen Rider anymore?"

Chen Huijie walked to the little fox's side, picked up the hair dryer and began to dry his fur as usual. At the same time, she began to use the guidance method she had learned in the Guard Bureau to gradually extract the answers she wanted from Mei Xue.

"Um...no, sister, I was just thinking about something."

Nestled in Chen Huijie's arms, Mei Xue enjoyed the feeling of the hot air drying her hair and tail while pondering her conversation with Linglan.

"Um, can you tell me about it? Maybe I can help."

"It's really not a big deal."
