Chapter 113

Everything in the house that had belonged to Shen Muhan and the little snow leopard was gone, yet so many traces that could not be taken away still remained.

For example, on the giraffe height chart, the blue marker recorded Shen Muhan’s height, while the green marker recorded Tang Rong’s.

For example, the spot where the leopard climbing frame used to stand—around it, the floor and walls still bore many claw marks the little snow leopard had accidentally left behind.

For example, one corner of the sofa had sunk into a small hollow because the little snow leopard had so often curled up there to bask in the sun.

…

Looking at these traces, the sadness and sense of loss in Tang Rong’s heart poured down like a waterfall, crashing endlessly, impossible to stop.

It had been a very long time since he had cried this heartbreakingly.

The last time had been before his fifth birthday, on the family spaceship trip to the junk planet, when he and the little snow leopard were in the middle of a cold war after an argument and mistakenly thought star pirates had attacked the ship, leaving him so frightened that he cried with his head in his arms.

Without realizing it, two years had already passed.

In those two years, they had never argued again. Their relationship had always been good.

After living together day and night for nearly three years, to be suddenly separated like this—no one could accept it.

Seeing this, Yun Jian hurried over and gathered him into her arms, coaxing him gently.

On the other side, the little snow leopard had to be comforted for quite a while too. The fur on its face was soaked through, and it had chewed a bald patch into the tip of its tail.

Neither of the two little cubs dared to make a video call to the other, afraid the other would see their tearful faces at this moment.

…

On the first night of their separation, neither child could sleep.

Even with their parents accompanying them, they still tossed and turned, unable to drift off.

They still did not dare to call each other, only chatted for a while through text and voice messages, pretending to be strong.

Because from this day onward, such days would become normal.

At seven years old, about to enter first grade, they had to bravely get used to sleeping alone.

Curled in his father and mother’s embrace, Tang Rong hugged the little fox plushie and missed the soft warmth of the little snow leopard.

His wrist felt strangely empty without the familiar sensation of a tail wound around it, so he bent the little fox plushie’s tails and wrapped them around his wrist instead.

Before he even noticed, all nine tails of the fox plushie had wound around his wrist, yet he still felt no sleepiness at all.

Shen Muhan had personally spent most of the day tidying up his new room. He was exhausted. He transformed back into his little snow leopard form and curled up between his parents, chewing on his tail, the tag Xiao Rong had given him hanging around his neck, but there was still no trace of sleep in him.

Xiao Rong had powerful healing talent. Being by his side always made him feel especially comfortable.

It was like someone with poor sleep finally meeting a human sleeping pill—able to sleep soundly through the night.

He had returned to stay here from time to time before, yet he had never experienced insomnia like this.

Because deep down he knew this was not temporary, but permanent, sadness weighed so heavily on him that his body simply could not relax and drift off.

The next day, both little cubs had dark circles under their eyes like two little pandas, and they felt even more unable to video call one another.

On the third day, Tang Rong was suddenly told he had to go out.

After getting into the hovercar, Tang Rong leaned against his parents and fell asleep again.

He only woke because he heard his mother calling his name.

Rubbing his eyes, Tang Rong realized the hovercar had already stopped. It seemed they had reached their destination.

And it felt as though he had slept for a long time, making up for the sleep he had lost the night before. He felt much better now.

Holding his mother’s hand, Tang Rong climbed out of the hovercar and curiously looked around at the surroundings.

The hovercar had stopped right beside a house. The house had a large courtyard planted full of beautiful flowers and greenery.

There were many other houses nearby as well. They were not too close, but not too far either—the perfect neighborly distance, close enough to visit easily, but far enough not to disturb one another.

Not far behind them was a large lake, and he could vaguely make out people walking and walking their dogs there.

Father, the butler, and Grandpa were busy fiddling with something at the gate to the courtyard.

Tang Rong tilted his head up and asked, “Mom, whose home is this?”

Yun Jian replied, “This is our new home.”

Tang Rong’s eyes widened in shock.

A… a new home?!

Was it what he thought it meant?

Yun Jian stroked his head and explained, “Xiao Rong is about to enter first grade, so he has to go to a physical elementary school. Eden is too remote, and commuting back and forth would be very inconvenient. Your father and I discussed it with everyone and prepared this surprise for you. It’s very close to the place where you’ll go to school, and also very close to where Mom works. This whole area is a residential neighborhood. There are lots of neighbors here. It’s lively.”

It took Tang Rong a while to fully digest what his mother had said.

Over these two years, Xiao Sister Qiu and Xiao Brother Chun had finally made it official. Not long ago, they had moved in together and left Eden. Xiao Brother Hu had also left Eden because of his music career. As for Eldest Brother and Sister-in-law, they had moved into their own little home long ago, right after their wedding.

The villa in Eden was no longer as lively as before.

And now that Xiao Brother Han had also moved out, it would surely feel even emptier.

After recuperating at home for two years, his mother’s body had completely recovered. Not long ago, she had begun preparing to resume her previous work—as a military academy professor and a healer.

Tang Rong obediently nodded. He was still happy about this “surprise,” because there would be neighbors here, lots of people, unlike in Eden where only their family lived nearby. He liked noise and bustle.

After the entire family’s identities were entered into the system, Tang Rong walked around the inside and outside of the new house, paying special attention to his new bedroom.

It was empty right now, with only a few essential soft furnishings. Once the things from his room in Eden were moved over, he would have to decorate it properly.

Unlike the children’s room in Eden, the bedroom in the new house had been arranged like a big kid’s room. The bed was over two meters long, enough for him to sleep in until adulthood.

Tang Rong was very satisfied with this new bedroom.

He was no longer a little cub anymore!

Once he slept on this big bed, maybe one day he would wake up as tall as Eldest Brother!

At that very moment, Eldest Brother Tang Yao—who stood at one meter ninety—suddenly sneezed from afar.

That same afternoon, most of Tang Rong’s things from Eden were delivered. He personally sorted them until it was dark, until his little arms and legs had no strength left, and he collapsed limply onto the sofa.

Everything was almost put away, but he still felt something was missing.

Missing… the little snow leopard’s little nest, its ball of yarn, and that little fluffy figure that used to bounce around.

Tang Rong lowered his eyes, and his mood suddenly dimmed.

But he quickly cheered himself up again. This wasn’t remote Eden anymore. Maybe Xiao Brother Han lived nearby.

If it wasn’t far, then he could often take the hovercar over to see him.

Tang Rong immediately opened his communicator and sent Shen Muhan a message.

Tang Rong: “Xiao Brother Han, I moved into a new house! Let’s turn on location sharing and see how far apart we are.”

The reply came very quickly.

Shen Muhan: “A new house?”

Shen Muhan: “Okay.”

[The other party has requested to share location with you]

[Accept] or [Decline]

Tang Rong immediately tapped Accept.

The location-sharing screen would display both of their communicator profile pictures, and based on the line between the two icons, it clearly showed their relative direction and distance.

Tang Rong looked closely.

His icon and Xiao Brother Han’s icon were right next to each other.

Distance: 99 meters.

Eh?
