Talulah, I'm still a child.

"Because good children shouldn't lie to the older sister they like."

Mei Xue answered obediently. This was Alina's teaching: try not to lie to older sisters you like, and try not to talk to older sisters you don't like.

However, those words really touched Swire's heart. She was a little disappointed at first, but now she was so happy that she kissed Mei Xue on the cheek, then hugged him and lifted him up high.

After all, this could be considered as gaining the little fox's approval. Swire suddenly felt very proud and elated. Moreover, the kiss just now wasn't enough. She felt that kissing Mei Xue's face was especially exciting.

"What is our lovely Meixue doing here? Does she need your help, sister?"

"No need, I've taken care of all the formalities. I'll just go pick up Sister Neng and the others."

Mei Xue squinted and nuzzled Swire's cheek before jumping out of her arms.

"Time is tight, I still need to go see Sister Chen. Goodbye, Sister Swire~"

Goodbye~

After waving goodbye to Mei Xue, Swire felt refreshed and invigorated. It seemed that absorbing Mei Xue's vitamins really could relieve various kinds of fatigue.

However, when she turned around, she found that the police officers around her were all looking at her strangely, like they were looking at a friend who had broken the law and were hesitating whether to call the police and send the friend to jail.

"What are you looking at! Haven't you ever seen siblings getting along before?!"

Swire couldn't help but scold her again, but this time her face was exceptionally red, and anyone could tell that she was definitely shy. It was just that it was quite rare to see Swire shy.

On the other side, the little fox forgot that he didn't know where the Guard Bureau's detention center was. He just wandered around, going left and right, completely relying on his senses, and actually found the temporary detention place.

However, when Mei Xue walked up to those cells, he was a little stunned. The little fox felt that he might not have needed to come at all.

"Texas, stop... Oh no, I'm dizzy! Quick, give me a buff, this damn black dragon... damn it!"

"I told you not to use the heavy bowgun to fight the Black Dragon, why didn't you listen?"

"Wow! Texas's Iaijutsu and Kadenlong combo looks so cool!"

"You three hurry up and attack, I'm tired from applying buffs."

Seeing the four people playing Monster Hunter on a game console they somehow got their hands on in the cell, Mei Xue had an urge to turn around and leave. The scene was just too strange. Little Fox didn't even know how to describe it. When he came, he thought the four of them might have suffered some injustice or hardship, so he bought them lots of delicious food.

And the four of them were actually able to play games together online?

Most importantly, they were completely unaware of their own arrival!

(Is the game more fun than me? No, that sounds weird.)

The little fox frowned, clearly a little unhappy. After all, he had gone to great lengths to pick them up and had even bought so many delicious treats, yet no one had noticed him standing there for a minute. When had Meixue ever suffered such injustice?

In the short time that Mei Xue was feeling frustrated, the four people playing the game were simultaneously burned into carts by the monster's flames, failing the mission and getting no materials at all.

However, just as they were feeling disappointed, a metallic clanging sound suddenly came from the doorway. The four of them turned around and found that Mei Xue had already opened the cell door. However, the little fox did not greet them. There was a hint of grievance in her eyes, and she did not smile. This made Texas and the others feel as if they had eaten a bitter melon.

"Meixue, we..."

The little fox ignored Exusiai's words, simply hummed softly, and then ran off towards the door at an astonishing speed; Exusiai didn't even see its footsteps clearly.

Is he angry?

"Right... but we don't seem to have done anything to upset him."

"Is it because we didn't bring him along to play?"

"Possibly, wait a minute... when did he arrive?"

Kong discovered this blind spot; they were so engrossed in their game that they didn't notice when Mei Xue arrived. Speaking of which, it seems like the little fox came to bail them out!

"Um...it seems like it was a minute ago. Wait, could it be that he's angry because of this?"

Now Exusiai, Texas, and the others understood that even the usually well-behaved and sensible Mei Xue had moments like this, feeling unhappy because she was ignored.

In fact, this was one of the things Mei Xue disliked the most. Being ignored by the person she liked made Mei Xue a little grumpy, so she decided to ignore Texas and the others for at least half an hour!

As for the delicious treats I bought? Hmm, I'll go find Sister Lappland! Last time she said she wanted to give herself a big gift, so the little fox gave her some delicious treats in return!

In the conference room on the floor above Mei Xue, Chen Huijie, who had just finished a meeting, was about to go home when she suddenly received another phone call. She felt like her head was about to explode. She had planned to leave in the morning, but she was still working now, and it looked like she wouldn't be able to go home in the afternoon.

At the same moment, on the other side, Rosemary put down her pen and looked at the sentence in her diary, "Sister Chen Huijie didn't come back, so it's just the three of us playing together at home." The little cat's lips curled up, and she glanced at Lily of the Valley sitting on the sofa, wondering whether she should exclude her as well tomorrow.

However, Chen Huijie is unlikely to be coming back today.

Thinking of this, a black aura seemed to emanate from Rosemary.

Chapter 121 Xi Bao's Desire to Rise to Power

In Taikoo Hospital in Lungmen, Lappland lay on her hospital bed looking out the window. The weather was lovely today.

"Hmm, I wonder when they'll arrive."

Lappland gently licked the corner of her mouth, her tail swaying with her mood. Her only expectations now, besides being discharged from the hospital, were for a certain little fox to come looking for her.

Lappland picked up the prayer book beside her, glanced at it, casually tossed it aside, and then jumped out of bed to do some preparations.

Actually, although it's called preparation, it's just about using some special incense, some special medicine, and some special clothes. After all, the first time always needs to have a sense of ceremony, otherwise there won't be another chance to do it.

The incense had already been lit, and because of this, Lappland, who had been in the ward for so long, had already felt the corresponding physical symptoms, such as dryness and fever. Although she didn't like to indulge her desires, Lappland wasn't one to restrain herself either. She was now just waiting for that little fox to come to her.

What? You're asking where she got these things? She just secretly left for a while last night.

"Hmm, I remember he seems to like black, this outfit should be alright."

Looking inside by lifting her collar, Lappland was resting on the bed, relying on arithmetic to keep herself sane. She didn't want to attack anyone in a fit of madness; she just wanted to snatch Mei Xue away from Texas. Firstly, she could gain a cute little fox, and secondly, she could provoke her old friend Texas.

“1000-7=993，993-7……”

To be honest, Lappland had always been preparing to give Texas a surprise. She was looking forward to seeing how Texas would react when she appeared in front of Texas holding Mei Xue's hand in the future. Texas's hair probably couldn't even turn completely red anymore now; she had become weak.

Just as Lappland was thinking this, a sudden knock on the door startled her. White Wolf glanced at the incense he had just refilled.

"Who?"

"It's me, Sister Lappland. I've come to bring you lunch."

Hearing the familiar voice of the little fox, Lappland wagged her tail. Sure enough, she had waited for it. She suddenly wanted to open the door and drag Mei Xue in to pamper her, but she still had to give the little fox a proper prelude.

"Come in."

With Lappland's permission, the little fox pushed open the door and came in, carrying a steaming hot lunchbox. However, Lappland only glanced at him before noticing something was amiss. She rested her chin on her hand and beckoned to Mei Xue.

"Come here, Meixue, let me take a look at you."

The obedient little fox naturally listened and ran to Lappland's bedside with small steps, whereupon Lappland placed her hand on her head and rubbed it vigorously.

"What's wrong? You look unhappy."

It can only be said that the little fox is indeed unable to hide his feelings. Not only is there his listless tail, but he practically has "I'm depressed" written all over his face. This makes Lappland a little curious. In this day and age, it's rare to see someone offend the little fox.

After all, given Mei Xue's personality, she is naturally obedient and very good at acting cute. Lappland doesn't think she's the type to get angry over trivial matters. Even if she is, it's probably because something soft about her has been touched.

"Hmm... How did you know, sister?"

"You look so wronged, like you've been beaten up, do you think I wouldn't notice?"

After placing the lunch Mei Xue brought on the bedside table, Lappland reached out and picked up the little fox, placing it on his lap and pinching its cheek.

"Tell me who bullied you, and I'll turn them into a mille-feuille for you. Hmm... if you're okay with that, I can record the whole process."

Lappland's ambiguous smile cheered the little fox up a bit. She wasn't joking; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she owed Mei Xue a life. Moreover, the little fox had paid for Mei Xue's various hidden ailments and suppressed her Oripathy.

In short, Lappland is so indebted to this favor that she could never repay it. It's not just a matter of money; the little fox is also taking a lot of risks because Lappland doesn't even have identification. If someone reports her, Mei Xue might not have a good ending.

So even though he's a bit crazy, Lappland doesn't mind entrusting her life to him. Anyway, she doesn't have any particular expectations for life, and Mei Xue doesn't seem like a bad person. Although she's a bit inconsiderate, she just wants to have fun.

"No need, it's not a big deal."

Mei Xue shook her head. He was just throwing a little tantrum, and he wasn't so upset or unhappy anymore. Besides, Texas and the others were her good older sisters, and Mei Xue didn't want anyone to have a conflict.

The little fox twitched its ears and affectionately rubbed its face against Lappland's cheek, then rolled over to get off her. Lappland was still recovering, and it wouldn't be good if it pressed down on her.

"No need to get up, just sit like this."

However, Lappland pushed Mei Xue back down. She really enjoyed being pinned down by Mei Xue, but unfortunately, the little fox's personality was just as bad as her appearance.

(But you could also train him to have a more assertive personality.)

Lappland licked her lips, imagining what Mei Xue would be like if she had a strength and domineering nature that didn't match her appearance. She had a feeling that Mei Xue would be irresistible and would definitely compete with the little fox for dominance.

However... different methods are needed to fight for status at different times. If it's during the day, it's a comparison of strength, but if it's at night, it depends on the physical strength of both sides.

"If that's the case, you won't be able to eat properly, sister."

“I don’t eat well to begin with, and look, my hand is still wrapped in bandages.”

Lappland gently raised her right hand to show Mei Xue. She was somewhat helpless. Most of her injuries, big and small, were healing. The fatal wound in her chest had almost healed, but her arm still needed to be well cared for, as it couldn't hinder her future battles.

The doctors even had someone use Originium Arts to remove her scars, but the scar around her eye couldn't be left untouched; she quite liked it, and Mei Xue had said it looked cool.

"Hmm...then shall I feed my sister?"

"Okay."

Lappland's lips curled up; this was exactly what she wanted. Actually, she could eat by herself, it would just be a bit of a hassle, but having the little fox feed her would be even better. More importantly, this was also an opportunity to gradually win him over.

This was the first time Mei Xue had ever fed someone. In the past, she had only ever served food to Talulah. But the little fox was surprisingly skilled at it, feeding Lappland without her hands trembling. Seeing her eat happily made Mei Xue happy too.

But the little fox had a strange sense of déjà vu. He always felt as if he had done similar things more than once, but with some subtle differences. For example, he would subconsciously wish that Lappland was younger.

(Did I raise children before I lost my memory?)

With these questions in mind, the little fox continued to feed Lappland, unaware that in a small house on Gray Mountain in the Great Yan Dynasty, Xi, who had just finished grinding ink and was about to finish painting the picture in her hand, suddenly felt an itch in her nose and sneezed.

This small movement caused her ink brush to tremble suddenly, resulting in many black ink spots staining the entire painting. Xi was so angry that she almost broke the brush in her hand.

Fortunately, this little incident only bothered her mood. Xi sighed, casually swept away all the ink spots with her long sleeves, and then added the last stroke to the painting.

"It's done..."

With a flick of his wrist, the figure in the painting suddenly detached from the scroll and appeared before Xi's eyes in an instant. It was a white Volpo with six tails swaying slightly behind it and its ears twitching, so cute that it melted her heart.

This is none other than Mei Xue, only she looks a little older than the current Mei Xue.

"It still doesn't work."

Looking into those lifeless eyes, Xi had no choice but to accept her defeat once again. She waved her hand to collect the plum blossoms and snow into the painting, rolled it up, and casually tossed it into a corner.

She glanced over there unintentionally and realized that she had already painted so many pictures of Mei Xue, but none of them were satisfactory.

"It ultimately lacks a certain charm and cannot be replicated."
