Talulah, I'm still a child.

"As expected, it's best to just kill him directly, or perhaps use a proxy to do the dirty work..."

"Who are you going to kill, Xiao Le?"

Just as Exusiai and Texas were plotting to eliminate the external enemy, Mostima's voice interrupted all her thoughts.

Exusiai turned around in surprise and saw Mostima walking over after closing the cafe door. She had changed into a casual outfit, looking refreshing and carefree with a touch of girlish ease. Well, although she's no longer considered a girl in terms of age (…wait, sis, don't hit me, I'm sorry!).

"Mostima! It really is you!"

Exusiai immediately forgot her grand plan to eliminate the enemy and pounced on her. Mostima helplessly caught her and put her down with a half-smile.

"Be careful, you're such a big girl now, and these are brand new clothes of mine. If you get them dirty, they won't be good to wear later."

"It's been so long! I saw you today, but when I chased after you, I couldn't find you. I thought I was seeing things."

Familiar faces, old friends she hadn't seen for years, were undoubtedly something to be happy about. Exusiai felt her bad mood was washed away a lot, mainly because Mostima was not an ordinary friend to her.

Because Mostima and Remian were classmates and teammates, Exusiai spent a lot of time with Mostima. Their relationship was so good that they understood each other's next move with just a glance.

Exusiai even came to Lungmen to chase Mostima and then joined Penguin Logistics. She ran alone from Laterano to an unfamiliar city, which shows how much she cared for him.

"I happened to have something to do at the time, so I left first. It seems you're doing quite well in Lungmen, and have become much more well-behaved. I made a little inquiry, and you didn't even bomb the Guard Bureau building?"

Mostima then deliberately feigned a slightly surprised expression, leaving Exusiai speechless.

"I like excitement, but I'm not stupid. If I were to bomb the Guard Bureau, I'd be dead."

"Didn't you consider this issue when you bombed the Papal Palace back then?"

Mostima shut Exusiai up with a single sentence, which also greatly shocked Texas. She knew exactly what the Papal Palace was. She had thought that Exusiai blowing up a school was outrageous enough, but it turned out she had done something so shocking!

If this were done in Longmen, it would be equivalent to directly bombing Wei Yanwu's administration building.

"I...I was just young and impetuous. Everyone has their moments of arrogance. Didn't you blow up a statue of the Pope before?"

"That's because we all agreed that the statue was an illegal structure; it was just too ugly."

Mostima walked to the sofa and sat down, waving to Texas in greeting. Actually, she had met Texas before, a long time ago before Exusiai arrived in Lungmen. She wasn't very familiar with Croissant.

But it doesn't matter. As a former Penguin Logistics employee, Mostima is their senior, and Mostima is easy to get along with and doesn't make people feel uncomfortable.

"Sigh, let's not talk about that. Where has Mostima been all these years?"

Exusiai chose to abruptly change the subject. Mostima's whereabouts were one of the things she cared about most in recent years, because she had left Laterano for Mostima's sake. Although she now understood to some extent that Mostima's actions were intentional, it did not stop Exusiai from being curious about her whereabouts.

After all, it's been so many years, and Mostima hasn't come to see him even once.

"Me? I've been to many places and seen a lot of scenery. It's a pity I didn't bring any photos, otherwise I could show them to you. I've been to Sargon and Da Yan, especially Da Yan. It was really amazing... The mountains, rivers, plants and trees were all beautiful. I even wanted to live there."

Mostima leaned back on the sofa and told Exusiai about some of her experiences. As a messenger who had been traveling for a long time, she had been to far more places than most people. In addition, with her excellent eloquence, she could always describe the customs and culture of different countries in a vivid way, which made Texas and Croissant listen with great interest.

By the time Mostima came to her senses, she had been talking for more than ten minutes.

"That's about it. There's too much to say in detail."

"You've been to quite a few places... So why did you decide to return to Longmen this time? Did you come to see me?"

Exusiai's smile was both cheerful and tinged with shyness. Mostima was her idol, her older sister, her role model, and her best friend. If they weren't of the same gender, their relationship would probably be something else entirely. However, Exusiai was quite satisfied with how things were going.

"Although I'd like to say that... you're wrong."

Mostima shook her head, shattering Exusiai's expectations. She didn't want to lie to Exusiai either, so she had always avoided the topic when pressed about it before.

"Then what are you doing here?"

"Hmm... should I say I'm going to the appointment or waiting, since I was the one who extended the invitation?"

"What do you mean?"

Exusiai was a little confused, feeling that Mostima's words were somewhat difficult to understand. Texas, on the other hand, seemed to have sensed something, and couldn't help but frown, yet she couldn't quite grasp the fleeting intuition.

But before Mostima could explain it to her, a crisp clattering sound came from the stairs connecting the two floors—the sound of shoes making intimate contact with the wooden planks.

The four of them turned their gazes in unison, and saw Mei Xue slowly walking down the stairs, holding onto the handrail. During this time, the little fox even changed her clothes (actually, it was because they had been dirtied by Kong and she had to change them).

"Mei Xue..."

Exusiai was a little dumbfounded. Although she knew that the little fox was always cute, she did not expect that even a light makeup could be so lethal. Her exposed belly was always eye-catching, and now the outfit she was wearing deliberately showed off Mei Xue's fair shoulders. The hot pants had openings on both sides, as if a little force could... Damn, it would be dangerous if she thought about it any further.

However, the most amazing thing has to be the makeup that Kong helped with. Her already sweet lips were painted with an alluring pink, and the sunset red eyeshadow paired with a touch of light purple made Mei Xue, who looked innocent and cute, have an extra touch of affection in her eyes. Her long eyebrows trembled with each blink, making her look even more adorable.

(Mom and Dad, Sister, you won't object if I bring him back to our hometown to get married, right?)

Thinking of this, Exusiai decisively took out her communicator and took a picture of Mei Xue, intending to send it home later so that her family could see the future new member.

"Hmm, that's really good..."

Mostima rested her chin on her hand and nodded with satisfaction. In fact, she had been surprised as well. She hadn't expected the little fox to actually put on makeup. It is said that women dress up for those who appreciate them, and the same goes for men.

Mostima didn't care about Mei Xue wearing makeup; it wasn't heavy makeup anyway, and Mei Xue was still a cute boy!

However, Mostima now had another problem. She felt that this little fox had already unknowingly stirred her heart. Tsk tsk, a fox spirit who brings trouble to men. This scourge must not be allowed to harm others. In order to protect her Xiao Le, Mostima had to step forward.

"Mei Xue, you're amazing!"

Croissant felt that if she took a picture now and sold it, she could make a fortune. Texas was so surprised that she didn't even notice when the chocolate bar in her mouth fell to the ground.

But the thought of Mei Xue going on a date with another woman made Croissant feel a pang of regret. Exusiai and Texas, who had caught on, frowned even more, and were now even less willing to let Mei Xue go on a date.

"Does Sister A-Neng like it?"

"I love it! I love it so much! Please keep it like this forever! Of course, you don't have to wear lipstick."

The main reason for not using lipstick is that Exusiai thinks it might affect the taste. After all, Meixue tastes best when it's in its original flavor!

"Then I'll learn to dress myself up from now on."

Applying eyeshadow isn't a big deal; many guys do it too. Mei Xue doesn't mind at all. As long as the person he likes is happy, he's willing to do anything. If it were just a word from Talulah, he wouldn't even mind giving his life to her.

However, before Exusiai could be happy for long, Meixue ran up to Mostima and wagged her tail wildly.

"Sister Mostima, is this okay?"

"Actually, I like you no matter what you look like. There's no need for you to dress up for me. I'd rather spend my time later."

Mostima reached out and rubbed Mei Xue's ears. The little fox had given her a huge surprise, but they had given Exusiai and Texas a huge fright.

Anyone who isn't an idiot would probably figure out what the relationship between the two is. Exusiai stammered for a long time without being able to say a word, while Texas tried her best to calm herself down.

"Mei Xue, the person you're dating wouldn't happen to be..."

"Yes, it's Mostima."

As Mei Xue finished speaking, a clear "crack" sound reached Texas's ears. She looked at Exusiai, who was almost suffocating beside her, with a complicated expression. Just now, without a doubt... it was this guy's heart that broke.

After all, Mei Xue and Mostima were both people she liked, and the little fox was someone she could get close to. However, now... she had two hats on her head, one green and the other green.

Indeed, perhaps it would be better to find out who Mei Xue's date is beforehand. But can someone explain how Mei Xue ended up with Mostima?!

And what about empty space?

Texas was a little confused. This makeup shouldn't take more than ten minutes, and why didn't Sora come downstairs with her? Was she too tired?

To some extent, yes.

Chapter 139 A Date with Mostima

Dating wasn't anything special for Mei Xue. Little Fox and Linglan had already done similar things, and he didn't really understand what dating meant. To be honest, he didn't have any feelings for Mostima, his ex-girlfriend; he just saw her as a gentle older sister.

Mostima, however, was thoroughly enjoying herself. Dating was a novel experience for her, and her boyfriend made her the center of attention. Mei Xue, on the other hand, was indeed very likely to attract other women, such as Exusiai and the others who were following behind her.

With Mostima's abilities, she shouldn't be so incapable of even detecting Exusiai. She just didn't want to care. I never expected that Mei Xue would get involved with Xiao Le. Is this also a so-called entanglement of fate?

"What's wrong, Sister Mostima?"

"Nothing, just remembered something. By the way, Meixue, would you like some?"

Mostima handed over the cotton candy, but the little fox shook his head and pointed to the candied hawthorn he had just licked. He preferred the candy to the cotton candy. Mostima, however, seemed lost in thought.

"May I try some?"

"Hmm... okay."

(Tsk, Mostima, who suddenly intervened, is indeed a formidable enemy.)

Texas felt disgusted by Mostima's constant exploitation of Meixue's lack of common sense in matters of the heart. She glanced back at Exusiai and found that he was still in a state of complete moral decay, with the halo above his head seemingly emitting a healthy green glow.

"How could this happen... I finally found someone I like, and I even met Mostima. It should have been double happiness..."

"Stop wasting your time learning here! Hurry up and catch up."

"Can't you let me be depressed for a while? It's not like you're the one who got cheated on."

Exusiai glared at Texas with annoyance. Her mind was in turmoil. Seeing Mei Xue and Mostima walking together and chatting made her feel uncomfortable, especially when she saw Mostima holding Mei Xue's hand earlier. She almost rushed up and kicked her away.

"..."

Texas didn't know how to refute it. So Exusiai never considered her a rival in love from the beginning. But strictly speaking, she was also cheated on by Mostima, just not as badly as Exusiai.

"Speaking of which, when did Mostima and Mei Xue meet?"

Looking at the two people, one big and one small, Texas couldn't help but feel curious. Until today, they had no idea that the two of them knew each other, let alone that they were actually dating.

"I don't know either. This is the first time I've seen Mostima in years."

Exusiai was drawing circles in frustration. She was now wishing she could call her older sister for help on how to deal with Mostima over there, because among the people she knew, only Remyane could compare to Mostima in terms of intelligence and charm.

"Something feels off..."

Texas found it increasingly strange. Mei Xue had never mentioned Mostima in front of them, and the little fox seemed quite reserved. She guessed that she didn't completely trust Mostima and was being completely controlled by Mostima. Sooner or later, she would be devoured without a trace.

"Something's really wrong. Mostima didn't even tell me she was going on a date with Mei Xue back then. She must have wanted to see my reaction!"

"That's not what I meant. I meant... do you think they really look like a couple?"

Upon hearing this, Exusiai couldn't help but peek over. The active and passive relationship between Mostima and Mei was quite obvious. The little fox was completely under Mostima's control, but it did look a bit... like Exusiai teasing Mei, not like a couple.

"It really doesn't look like it, but what can we do? We can't just rush out now."

Exusiai was telling the truth. Regardless of whether Mei and Mostima are a real couple, they are at least on a date right now. Going out and disturbing them now... are we going to catch them cheating on the spot?

"That's true..."

Texas sighed. It's true, there's nothing you can do about thinking too much. If she doesn't follow, she can't rest easy, but if she does, it's so painful to watch like this, she just wants to rush up and kick Mostima away.

Meanwhile, on Mostima and Meixue's side, the little fox was munching on a candied hawthorn, letting Mostima lead it around at will, while Meixue twitched its fox ears.
