Talulah, I'm still a child.

Seeing the little fox walk to her bedside, Lappland gestured for him to come closer. She curiously looked Mei Xue up and down. It has to be said that Mei Xue's popularity was largely due to her appearance. People are always more likely to let their guard down and have a higher level of affection for cute things. However, Lappland would not be willing to degenerate like Texas.

"I'm asking you, which parts of your body did Texas touch?"

Lappland's words stunned the little fox for a moment, then he rested his chin on his hand and thought for a while before finally shaking his head at her.

"She didn't touch you?"

"No, I just can't think of any other place that Texas hasn't touched."

The little fox twitched its ears, delivering another devastating blow to Lappland. Looking at the fox before her, she couldn't understand what was so special about Texas that made her act that way and do those things. Wasn't she afraid of being captured and imprisoned? Did Mei Xue possess some extraordinary talent?

"How far have you gone with Texas?"

"?"

Looking at the question in the little fox's eyes, Lappland realized that she couldn't use an adult's mindset to communicate with Mei Xue about adult matters. She suspected that Texas hadn't even dared to tell Mei Xue what she meant by what she did.

"Forget it, it seems a bit troublesome to talk to you about this."

Lappland felt dumbfounded. Seeing Mei Xue's expression, she knew the little fox must have done "that" thing with Texas quite a bit. Come to think of it, Texas actually liked this type? She never expected that. No wonder she never mentioned having someone she liked before.

Did you pay for the treatment?

"Yes, sister, you should stay here and recover from your injury. I've already paid the bill."

"I didn't realize you were so rich."

Reaching out, Lappland ruffled Mei Xue's beautiful hair without any politeness, making a mess of the little fox's hair. Although she was a ruthless person, she wasn't the kind to forget kindness. This little fox had saved her life, so she would repay it in her own way. Besides, Mei Xue knew Texas. Hmm... that was an unexpected point, but it seemed like she could use this to get closer to them.

"Um... Sister, please don't rub my hair like that, it's so messy and hard to comb."

The little fox frowned, looking displeased. Lappland's actions were a bit too rough, causing him a slight pain.

"Okay, okay, so how do you usually play with Texas?"

Looking at Mei Xue in front of her, Lappland suddenly wondered what Texas's reaction would be if she were to snatch him away. She was certain that Texas valued Mei Xue highly; if it weren't for the fact that the little fox was too young, Texas might have already done everything she should and shouldn't have done.

"Hmm...like this."

Mei Xue gently approached Lappland, intertwining her snow-white fox tail with her gray-white tail. Then, she obediently climbed onto Lappland's sickbed, sitting or kneeling on her while avoiding her wounds. She took her hand and placed it on her shoulder, the little fox twitching her ears. This was Texas's favorite pose.

"She's quite the player..."

Looking at Mei Xue so close to her, Lappland actually felt an urge to kiss her directly. Now she realized something was wrong with this little fox; she was a born troublemaker.

"It's getting late, sister, you should get some rest. I still have things to do, I have class this afternoon, um... I might come to see you a little later tomorrow."

The little fox nimbly jumped off the bed. Lily of the Valley would be arriving tomorrow, and he needed to prepare properly. He couldn't afford any problems with their first meeting.

Watching Mei Xue leave, the room fell silent again. Lappland couldn't help but feel regretful. She wanted to ask Mei Xue more questions and also wanted to leave more of her own scent on him, so that it would be fun when Texas found out.

Of course, Mei Xue was unaware of Lappland's thoughts. The little fox was very busy, and his Sister Chen was equally busy at the same time, so busy that she was exhausted.

(Damn it, why isn't he off work yet? I promised to take Meixue to the movies today, what if we miss it?)

Chen Huijie frowned in annoyance, tapping her fingers on her desk. Her mind was filled with Mei Xue's voice and smile. You see, she had gone to great lengths to find a nearly empty movie theater and booked the whole place, hoping to watch the movie with Mei Xue in her arms. Of course, the little fox would just watch the movie; she didn't necessarily have to do anything else.

However, she is still at work. Swire took the day off because of Pacific Place. Hoshiguma is leading a patrol team and has a lot of paperwork to handle. She can't be careless. Judging from the workload, it's unlikely she can avoid working overtime today. But she has already booked the hotel... oops, the restaurant. She can only postpone it for one day at most. But Mei Xue is going to meet that girl named Linglan tomorrow.

"Why don't we call Mei Xue?"

Chen Huijie sighed. She was afraid she would have to work late tonight. She called Mei Xue to tell her not to wait for her for dinner, but before she could dial, Mei Xue sent her a message.

【Sister, Meixue isn't coming home tonight. I left an extra portion of food in the fridge this morning, just heat it up (≧▽≦*)】

"Not going home?"

This message immediately alerted Chen Huijie. Mei Xue was an exceptionally good girl; she never lingered on her way home after work, nor did she stay out all night. Could she be working overtime? That couldn't be right; the people at Penguin Logistics had agreed that Mei Xue would only work during the day.

Chen Huijie was still worried after going back and forth a few times, so she simply turned on her computer to check Mei Xue's current location and found that the little fox was on the street at the moment, and judging from its movement trajectory, it seemed to be heading towards Taikoo Place.

What was he doing there?

Rubbing her temples, Chen Huijie wondered if Mei Xue was going to find Swire. But no matter what, the little fox's safety should be fine. Although she was still naive, she wasn't stupid and could run away if she encountered danger.

However, Chen Huijie did not expect that Mei Xue really went to see Swire. The little fox even chatted with Swire on the other end of the phone while wagging its tail.

"Really? Thank you, sister!"

"You're welcome. This is a piece of cake for me. Would you like me to help you pick out some clothes?"

"No need, no need, I think wearing ordinary clothes is fine."

Hearing Mei Xue's somewhat flustered voice on the other end of the phone, Swire smiled and nodded. After all, Mei Xue's clothes were suitable no matter what she wore. She just didn't expect that the little fox would choose to seek help from her instead of going to Chen Huijie. She really thought that Swire was more capable.

"Alright, I'll send someone over in a bit. When will your friend arrive?"

"Hmm... around eight o'clock tomorrow. She said she'll have to take care of some formalities after she arrives tonight."

"Okay, by the way, Mei Xue... isn't she really your girlfriend?"

Swire asked curiously. When Mei Xue called for help, she thought it might be something serious. She didn't expect that Mei Xue was asking her to help her friend arrange accommodation and borrow a venue. Moreover, it was a girl. Swire's gossipy heart couldn't be contained. Mei Xue said that the two were online friends. Tsk, if it was really someone trying to seduce Mei Xue, that would be terrible.

"No, Lily of the Valley and I are just friends."

Although Linglan mentioned that she was with her companions when she arrived, she also said that she would find a place to stay on her own so that she could go out and play with Meixue anytime without worrying about her safety if she came back too late. In reality, Linglan was just worried that Meixue would be recognized by Rosemary and the others when she came to see her. But Meixue took it seriously. He felt that it was not safe for Linglan to stay alone, so after thinking it over, he chose to ask Swire for help to arrange a good hotel room.

As for money... When Swire presented Mei Xue with eighteen hotels to choose from, the little fox knew what a real rich person was. No wonder Sister Chen always said that Sister Swire had no other use for her brain besides making money. Not to mention taking money, Swire even jokingly said that when Mei Xue grew up, she would give him a hotel as a dowry. By the way, why a dowry?

"I'll hang up now, sister. I have a lot of things to do."

The little fox twitched his ears. He realized that he had been unusually busy today. First, he was in a car accident at work in the morning. Then he found Lappland while shopping. Then there was the matter with Swire and preparations for tomorrow. In a daze, Mei Xue turned his head to look behind him. He felt a familiar presence, but it was too faint. Mei Xue just thought it was an illusion.

Meanwhile, on the top floor of the administration building in Lungmen, Wei Yanwu, who had just finished kneeling on the washboard, read the report and nodded in agreement to Lappland's contact with Mei Xue. After all, Lappland was the lone wolf of Syracuse, and as long as she wasn't deliberately causing trouble, there was no need to go all the way. Besides, there were more important things waiting for Wei Yanwu to deal with.

"Lord Wei, the officials from the Censorate have arrived."

"...Bring him directly to me."

Wei Yanwu tapped his pipe. He knew exactly what the people from the Surveillance Department were doing. On the surface, they were there to assess Longmen, but in reality, they intended to take Mei Xue away. However, they should know that they couldn't use force in this matter. Therefore, the key was Chen Huijie. His niece still didn't know what kind of person the younger brother she had taken in was. If Mei Xue was to be taken away, it would be impossible to bypass her.

As Lin Qingyan stepped onto the land of Longmen, she could feel the Tongtian Mirror she carried with her trembling slightly. This was a sign of excitement, indicating that the intelligence was correct and that he was indeed in this city.

"let's go……"

Suppressing her joy, Lin Qingyan smiled slightly and walked forward with Zuo Le and Taihe. She knew some things couldn't be rushed, but she just couldn't help wanting to see him as soon as possible. How many years had it been since they last saw each other? Had he gained or lost weight? Had he grown taller since then?

Just as Lin Qingyan was about to quicken her pace, a bell suddenly rang beside Zuo Le, abruptly stopping her.

"Lin Qingyan, stay true to your original aspirations!"

Taihe immediately spoke up to remind her, and Lin Qingyan also realized that something was wrong with her. She quickly recited a few calming mantras to pull herself out of that strange state, only to find that she hadn't even noticed tears falling.

"Remember who you are. Your name is Lin Qingyan, not Su Xueer."

Zuo Le's expression was very serious, because he also knew very well that the closer they got to Mei Xue, the more difficult it would be for the Tongtian Mirror to suppress them. Lin Qingyan had already synchronized with Su Xue'er's memories many times. If there were any carelessness or oversight, Lin Qingyan would be assimilated by the memories remaining in the mirror and would start to see himself as Su Xue'er. She even really saw Mei Xue as her younger brother now.

"Sorry... it was a momentary oversight."

"This is not your fault. Let's go and pay a visit to Lord Wei first."

With the departure of the Inspectorate and others, Shining, Liz, and Nearl landed together in different parts of Lungmen. W and Ines entered Lungmen through a secret passage, while Blaze took Rosemary and Lily of the Valley to complete the formalities. The group, who originally set off at different times, arrived at the same time of the same day due to various coincidences.

Meanwhile, at Penguin Logistics, Texas and Exusiai, who had just taken leave, suddenly felt a bad premonition, like a storm brewing. Even Nian, who was at the hot pot restaurant, frowned. Although she had never met her great-aunt Su Xue'er, Nian clearly remembered that person's aura. After all, she had been beaten up quite a bit when she secretly tried to increase Mei Xue'er's favorability.

"The people of Great Yan are really fast..."

Nian scratched her head. This was troublesome. She hadn't even decided which basement to lock the person in after tying them up in a sack, and now they were already coming to her door. She just hoped that her older sister hadn't followed her, otherwise she might not be able to keep her position as a stepmother.

Of course, Nian also believed that the Great Yan side would not do anything to Mei Xue. They would be more than happy to bring Mei Xue back and worship her. Putting aside his past achievements, this is the most valuable thing about Mei Xue now.

As for Mei Xue? The little fox was unaware that the person who had been eyeing him had already arrived at Longmen. He simply smiled as he looked at the message from Linglan on the screen that she had arrived, and then threw himself into the preparations even more diligently.

Chapter 101 Mr. Chen isn't home tonight.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. The people at Penguin Logistics can't sleep, Kasena can't sleep, and the people at the Inspectorate and Rhodes Island are naturally having trouble sleeping as well. As for Chen Huijie? Oh, she hasn't finished get off work yet. Of course, our two main characters for tomorrow will also be having trouble sleeping.

After completing the formalities and putting away their luggage, Linglan immediately sent a message to the little fox. Now, both of them had finished showering and were lying in bed, hugging their tails, curled up in a ball, and smiling. If someone could see them at the same time, they would find that the two of them were practically cut from the same mold.

[Brother Meixue, shall we meet at Pacific Place at 8 AM tomorrow?]

【Yes, my sister has arranged a hotel room for you. You can just check in; it's safer there. But why aren't you staying with your companions, Suzuran?】

Mei Xue rubbed his tail. Actually, Mei Xue wouldn't mind if Ling Lan brought her friends along. On the contrary, he felt it would be safer that way, at least Ling Lan would be safe. However, Ling Lan said she would find a place to stay by herself tomorrow, which made Mei Xue very worried. That's why he asked Swire to help arrange a hotel room today.

I...I want to meet with my brother alone, so we can go shopping, eat together, chat, and take a walk. I'll feel very shy if there are other people around.

This was Linglan's original intention, but not her whole plan. Of course, she knew that it was dangerous for someone to meet a stranger alone, but she knew Mei Xue very well and didn't need to worry that Mei Xue would harm her. Besides, Huang and Rosemary came to Lungmen this time to find Mei Xue and take him away. How could Linglan let him be exposed to those two directly? She knew that Mei Xue was very satisfied with his current life. Rhodes Island was a strange place for him.

The main problem is that there are quite a few people on Rhodes Island watching him. Suzuran is certain that besides Amiya and Kal'tsit, there are others who have designs on Meixue.

【Okay, let's drop off our luggage first tomorrow, then go out and have some fun. I've already planned it out: we'll first stroll around the food street, then go to the amusement park, and afterwards take a walk in the forest park. What do you think?】

Looking at the message on the screen, Linglan was a little confused. She quickly got up, turned on the bedside lamp, picked up the small notebook under her pillow, and opened it. She found that the plan Meixue mentioned was exactly the same as the one she had written a few days ago. What kind of tacit understanding was this?

Just follow what Brother Meixue wrote.

Linglan suddenly felt incredibly happy, as sweet as if she had eaten honey. The unspoken understanding she and Meixue had reached seemed to reflect the destiny between them.

Well then, let's wait until tomorrow. Get some rest! Goodnight!

Goodnight, brother.

Silently putting away the communicator, Mei Xue sat up, hugging her tail and looking out the window. Chen Huijie seemed unusually busy tonight, working overtime. Half an hour ago, she said she probably wouldn't be back tonight. The little fox planned to make some late-night snacks to send to her sister, since he was also too excited to sleep because of tomorrow's meeting.

It's not a good time to eat too much for a late-night snack, so after thinking it over, Mei Xue decided to make a bowl of wontons. It was convenient since there were some ready-made ones. After making them, she could stuff them into her tail and run all the way to the Guard Bureau.

However, just as Mei Xue was boiling water to cook the wontons, the doorbell rang suddenly. The little fox thought Chen Huijie had returned, so she didn't bother to turn off the stove and rushed to the door. Without even looking to see who it was, she opened the door.

"Welcome back, sister... Sister Kashena, what brings you here?"

Looking at Kashiena at the door, the little fox wagged its tail in confusion. Yes, Kashiena, not the black snake, was now in control of the body. You asked how Mei Xue could tell the difference? It's actually quite simple. If it were Miss Black Snake, she would kiss him as soon as he opened the door and then pick him up and run towards her home. Kashiena, on the other hand, would politely keep her distance like this. Of course, if Mei Xue took the initiative to kiss, hug, or lift her up high, she would be happy to cooperate and might even take the initiative to teach Mei Xue more techniques and skills.

"It's that... I remember your sister didn't come home today, and your lights were still on, so I was worried a thief had broken in."

Kashina looked at Mei Xue in front of her and wanted to reach out and hug him, but she still held back a bit of pride, unlike Miss Black Snake who had no shame. Although the two were using the same body, there was still a difference between them.

"No thief broke in, I'm just making a midnight snack. Sister Kashena, come in and have a seat, I'll make yours too."

"...Then I won't stand on ceremony."

The moment Kashina stepped through the door, she felt a thrill. Watching Mei Xue rush off to the kitchen to busy herself again, she thought to herself, "Thank goodness I didn't teach him what it means to invite a wolf into the house." (Lappland: Thank goodness you didn't teach him.)

Indeed, no thief broke into Mei Xue's house just now, but as for now... well, it's hard to say.

"Sister Kasheena, would you like two bowls?"
