Talulah, I'm still a child.

Mei Xue gently rubbed against Chen Huijie's palm, then seemed to remember something, her face involuntarily turning slightly red. This made Chen Huijie frown. Was she in a puppy love? Or was she being pursued by a strange woman?

"It's that... I'm going to meet with Suzuran in a few days."

Who is Lily of the Valley?

Chen Huijie's eyes immediately sharpened, and she stopped what she was doing, ready to grab her tools at any moment to... no, to have her younger brother check out this guy named Linglan.

"It's my online friend, didn't I tell you about it before, sister?"

"Oh... I remember now, it was that little girl, I thought it was someone else."

After remembering who Linglan was, Chen Huijie immediately felt relieved. She had thought it was someone else, but it turned out to be that girl who was a little younger than Meixue. There was no need to be too wary then.

"Hmm, she's coming to Longmen in a few days. Can I go see her?"

"Of course you can, but you need to be careful to protect yourself."

Chen Huijie didn't notice the hidden information in Mei Xue's words. If she was coming to Longmen, it meant that Linglan wasn't in Longmen. So Mei Xue's conversations during this period were quite interesting. However, she was just happy that it was a false alarm. At least she wasn't worried that her younger brother would be taken away by another woman.

In any case, for Chen Huijie, any female older than Mei Xue is an enemy!

"Yes, I will protect myself, but sister... I don't know what gift to give Lily of the Valley."

Mei Xue gently wagged her tail. The little fox valued their first meeting and felt he needed to give a thoughtful and well-chosen gift.

Do you know what she likes?

"I prefer flowers and plants."

"Then just buy her flowers, but remember, whatever you do, don't send roses!"

This is the key point. Although the lily of the valley seems to be a little smaller than the plum blossom, it cannot be completely ignored. We must prevent any possible accidents. Sending roses would cause misunderstandings. Even if it is just a little girl, we cannot really not take it to heart.

"why?"

"Because the roses are for my sister, not for a friend."

Chen Huijie, with a straight face, told a blatant lie, leaving Mei Xue completely bewildered. The little fox subconsciously asked Miss Black Snake in her mind and received an affirmative answer.

[Oh yes, yes, the roses were indeed for my sister.]

Miss Black Snake's answer was actually based on her own plans. After all, Mei Xue's sister wasn't just Chen Huijie. In the end, it was uncertain who would benefit. Talulah, Alina, and Frostnova, or perhaps Texas and Exusiai, Miss Black Snake had no doubt that Mei Xue would probably send roses to everyone in the future, since she would get one too.

"Now I know what to give!"

Mei Xue glanced out the window and suddenly had a great idea. She happily wagged her tail and kissed Chen Huijie on the face, making Chen Huijie dizzy with the kiss. Chen Huijie almost wanted to do something to Mei Xue again, but seeing the big tail on Mei Xue's back that was eager to try, she gave up the bad idea in her head. She thought she had to deal with this thing first before she could make a move.

On Rhodes Island, after Dr. Sussuro examined her and confirmed that she was perfectly healthy, Suzuran began to think about what gift to give Meiyuki.

This is why Suzuran came to the Rhodes Island supermarket at this time. Kroos looked at her with some surprise, as Suzuran is not usually seen here.

"That's strange. Usually at this time, Lily of the Valley, you should be asleep, right?"

"Um... I just finished a checkup. Sister Kroos, do you sell any Kamen Rider toys here?"

Suzuran gently wagged her tail. When buying gifts, you have to cater to her preferences. She already knew that Meixue liked Kamen Rider. Although she didn't have much pocket money, it was enough to buy some toys. The main reason was that Suzuran's parents were worried that she wouldn't have enough money. Before leaving, her mother left her father's bank card with her.

As a good girl, Suzuran usually saves money and doesn't buy many toys for herself, but she buys more books. She didn't know how much Kamen Rider toys cost, but when Kroos took out those belts, she realized that toys could be so expensive.

"It's so expensive..."

"It is quite expensive, mainly because this thing is very popular. There are many people who like it, and the workmanship is also good, so the price is high... How about I give you a 40% discount?"

Although she was known as a shrewd businessman, Kroos had a good impression of Suzuran. How to put it... whenever she saw Suzuran, she would subconsciously think of the little fox who used to cling to her. That snow-white fox didn't care about the oil stains and smell on her body, nor was he afraid of her identity. He was the source of joy for everyone in the Tower of Babel, the pillar of everyone's spirit, and also her good younger brother.

"I... I'll buy two then. Which one do you think is the best, Sister Kroos?"

"I would definitely recommend this Kamen Rider W transformation device. It's not expensive, and it's very fun to play with. I'll give you a few extra memories for free. Also, this 01 transformation device is simple, high-end, and cool... Wait, aren't you playing with it yourself?"

Kroos finally realized something was wrong. It seemed like Suzuran didn't care about these things and didn't understand them, so why did she buy these toys?

"No, I'm planning to give them away as gifts, so please pack these two items for me."

Linglan smiled and took out her bank card to pay. She thought Meixue would definitely like the gift she gave her. However, she felt that just buying a gift with money was not enough. She remembered that there was a plum tree in the greenhouse of Rhodes Island. She wondered if it was still blooming. It would be nice to pick some and make it into a gift.

All I can say is, who wouldn't like a girlfriend who's willing to buy them a Kamen Rider belt?

Chapter 94 Lily of the Valley Wants to Get Close to Plum Blossom

Recently, as Mei Xue's work at Penguin Logistics has progressed, the little fox's footprints have begun to spread throughout the streets and alleys of Longmen. People have been posting messages online saying that they can see an adorable three-tailed Wooper darting through the city, running up to you at lightning speed, taking your package out of its fluffy tail, and even charmingly asking for a five-star review, which can be used to request a head pat.

Because of her extremely attractive and deceptive appearance, Mei Xue's popularity has been rising steadily during this period. Some people even went online to buy things just so that the little fox could deliver them, and specifically requested Penguin Logistics to deliver the goods. You could say that the little fox indirectly boosted the development of online shopping in Longmen and the performance of Penguin Logistics.

But the cost is that what used to be a morning task now takes several more hours to complete, turning the little fox's lunch into afternoon tea.

Who owns this little fox?

There have been posts like this online lately, accompanied by a photo of Mei Xue. In the photo, the little fox is walking with a smile on its face. After noticing the camera, it even waves and greets us. Occasionally, it has a treat in its mouth. Since it was discovered that Mei Xue is a bit shy but candy can effectively improve her friendliness, many people have become very interested in feeding the fox. Putting everything else aside, Mei Xue has started to worry about getting cavities these past few days.

"Yes, it's mine."

After reading the legal statement online that she owned the property, Chen Huijie casually tossed the communicator aside, then hugged Mei Xue tightly and snuggled against her. Today was another day she didn't want to get out of bed to go to work, but the little fox, who was already worth millions, still preferred to earn money through her own work. As her older sister, she couldn't be a freeloader.

"What sister's family?"

"Hmm...of course it's our lovely Meixue."

"Yes, I'm the older sister."

Mei Xue snuggled affectionately into Chen Huijie's arms, flicked her tail, kissed her on the cheek, and then stretched, preparing to get up. It's always good to have someone to sleep with; it makes Mei Xue feel much more at ease, even though Miss Black Snake keeps expressing her displeasure.

"Then I'll go cook first, sister, you can sleep a little longer."

Mei Xue yawned. The little fox was hardworking and energetic today. Chen Huijie even had the urge to quit her job and stay home to let him support her. Anyway, Mei Xue would definitely not object. He was the one being pampered, and he would pamper the people he liked in return.

"The spring night is too short and the sun rises high... Alas, how can I sleep without plum blossoms and snow?"

Shaking her head helplessly, Chen Huijie felt that life was full of contradictions. Now she had no choice but to get up. But it wasn't like she couldn't stick on the stickers after getting up.

On the other side, although it was still half an hour before Linglan woke up, Meixue still sent a "Good morning" message. Just as he was preparing to make breakfast for Chen Huijie, Linglan, who was supposed to be sleeping, suddenly replied with a "Good morning, brother."

[I remember you didn't get up until 7 o'clock, Lily of the Valley. Don't you feel sleepy if you get up so early?]

Looking at the reply on the screen, Linglan, lying in bed, couldn't help but laugh. She thought it would be better to get up at 6:30 in the future and synchronize her sleep schedule with Meixue's. That way, she could receive the message from the other side as soon as she woke up every morning. It was only half an hour of sleep, which she could make up for at noon.

As for replying to messages... after thinking it over, Suzuran pressed the call button. Compared to facing a cold, impersonal screen, she preferred hearing Meixue's voice. Since last night, she was no longer satisfied with just simple text communication. Suzuran also felt that she was being a bit greedy, but how should she put it... being a little greedy is normal at her age, right? After all, Aya also said that sometimes learning to ask for more isn't a bad thing.

Mei Xue, on the other side, didn't expect Ling Lan to call at this time. The little fox had no choice but to answer the phone and hold the communicator between her head and shoulder while busy making breakfast. Listening to the sounds of pots, pans and spoons clattering on the other end, Ling Lan couldn't help but imagine how busy Mei Xue was at that moment.

"Is my brother busy? I'll hang up now."

"It's okay, it's just making breakfast, and I also want to chat with Suzuran."

It wasn't that Mei Xue was deliberately trying to please her by saying sweet words; he genuinely enjoyed talking to Linglan on the phone like this. It always felt magical, and Linglan's voice was very pleasant to hear. However, the little fox's words unintentionally touched Linglan's heart, and she felt her heart beating exceptionally fast. Feeling a little embarrassed, she shrank back under the covers.

"Um... what does Brother Meixue plan to eat this morning?"

"It's just fruit, um, maybe some white fungus and lotus seed porridge, but the breakfast I'm making for my sister will be a bit more elaborate."

Mei Xue skillfully chopped vegetables while holding Chi Xiao with one hand. He felt that even if he let go, Chi Xiao would probably cook automatically.

"That's great! I'd like to try my brother's breakfast too."

"I'll make it for you when I have the chance in the future."

The little fox's sudden attack completely stunned Linglan, who already had little defense. She was a little confused, but it was clear that she hadn't misunderstood Meixue's words. Linglan wondered if she had misunderstood. Was this a confession?

"Um, brother... do you mean you'd be willing to make me breakfast?"

"Yes, I'd love to."

Mei Xue thought it was just making breakfast, but Ling Lan thought it was something else entirely. In her hometown, in the eastern part of the country, when someone said they were willing to make breakfast for another person, it was a way of implying that they liked that person. Although Mei Xue might not know about this custom, that didn't stop Ling Lan from thinking in that direction.

After all, girls in love aren't usually that smart (except when catching someone cheating), and Suzuran is the kind of girl who's very sensitive and easily lets her thoughts be led by her feelings. To her, the little fox's words were no different from a confession.

"Brother, I want to see you..."

"Me too, but I'm a little scared, since it's my first time meeting a friend I met online."

Mei Xue wagged his tail. Of course, he also wanted to meet Ling Lan in real life, but he was worried that they would not get along. Mainly, Mei Xue knew very well that his shy personality could be troublesome for others. He just hoped that Ling Lan would not dislike him.

"Me too... Oh, right, brother, I've prepared a very special gift for you. I'm sure you'll like it!"

Looking at the two belts she had placed on the table, Linglan felt an urge to run to Longmen right now and meet up with Meixue.

"I'll also prepare a gift, but I don't know if you'll like it."

"...I'll like anything my brother gives me, no matter what it is~"

Linglan hugged her tail tightly, her anticipation growing stronger. All she wanted now was to see Meixue as soon as possible, to give him the gift she had prepared, to go shopping with him, or to take a nap together, to stroke and groom each other's tails like in her dreams, she wanted…

There were so many things she wanted to do, like eating something together, going out to play, reading books and watching TV together. Linglan's thoughts kept expanding, and finally she covered her burning cheeks and muttered to herself.

"Wedding dress or bridal gown, which is better?"

Chapter 95 Lily of the Valley's Greatest Rival! (Two-in-One)

Because she had arranged to meet with Kashiena at a coffee shop today to discuss Mei Xue's studies, Chen Huijie dressed up formally to avoid leaving a bad impression.

When she met Kashina, her first reaction was two words: This person absolutely cannot be Mei Xue's teacher, in short, no way.

This is mainly because Kashina's temperament and appearance are too outstanding. She has a cool and aloof demeanor mixed with a touch of charm. She is also a rare beauty. Chen Huijie subconsciously gave her a low score in her mind. Don't ask why. The reason is that she was worried that the little fox would be snatched away.

(How about we go back and add a male limit to the conditions? Hmm, let's do that.)

Despite her words, Chen Huijie couldn't leave anyone waiting in vain, so she politely went over and sat down, then extended her hand to Kasheena.

"Hello, Ms. Kasena."

"Hello, Ms. Chen Huijie."

Perhaps because she disliked formalities, Kashina didn't do much self-introduction. Instead, she simply and directly showed Chen Huijie her resume. Chen Huijie planned to find some faults in it, since she needed a suitable reason to reject Kashina.

Then she discovered that this was no simple matter compared to nitpicking, because Kasena's resume was quite impressive: a history professor, a physics lecturer, a literature lecturer, and even a mathematics PhD, with fifteen years of teaching experience, and a previous lecturer at a prestigious university in Ursus.

Honestly, Chen Huijie felt the only regret was that Kasheena wasn't a man, otherwise she wouldn't feel comfortable letting Mei Xue learn from him.

(We have to think of other solutions.)

“Ms. Kasena is truly outstanding, but there’s just that… My home is located in a rather remote area. I wonder where you live? I hope that at least my brother won’t spend most of his time traveling.”

Now that things have come to this, all she can do is come up with a few lame excuses. The main reason is that Chen Huijie sensed a deep sense of crisis from Kashena. She felt that letting this person come into contact with Mei Xue might not be a good thing.

"My current address is also on my resume; you can take a look."
