Allergic To Furry Things But Can Pet Them Mentally – CH16

Chapter 16

Tang Rong did not notice Shen Muhan’s gaze at all. With his short little legs, he walked straight up to the teacher at the podium.

The teacher looked to be about twenty-five years old. She had a baby face, wore a single braided plait tied with a ribbon and hanging over her shoulder, and had on a simple uniform dress. The overall impression she gave was gentle and soft, the kind that children would naturally like.

When Tang Rong approached, her gaze fell on him as well.

The teacher had long since received the basic information of every child in the class, so she naturally knew Tang Rong’s identity. She immediately stepped forward, bent down, and took the initiative to speak to him. “Rongrong is here. I’m Teacher Tangyuan. The children are all picking the seats they like. Which one would Rongrong like to sit in?”

She knew, of course, that the child before her was the young master of the Tang family who had recently become the center of heated discussion across StarNet.

She also knew that none of the children in this class were ordinary. Aside from this young master of the Tang family standing in front of her, every other child here was a heavyweight too—especially that little crown prince, who had arrived and silently taken a seat near the back row without saying a single word.

To become the teacher of this class, the number of agreements and contracts she had to sign could not even be counted on one hand. Every word and every action was tightly restricted by rules and clauses. But correspondingly, the string of zeros behind the salary was truly pleasing to the eye.

High risk, high return. She believed she would definitely be able to lead this group of cubs well…

“Wah… wuwuwu…”

The moment Teacher Tangyuan had just planted that flag, her heart gave a violent shudder. She quickly turned toward the source of the crying.

At the “entrance” stood a little cub who had just joined the class. Clutched in his arms was a huge carrot plushie. The moment he arrived, he lost control and tears began streaming down his face. Hugging the carrot, he started bawling loudly.

Tangyuan quickly rubbed Tang Rong’s little head and said to him, “Rongrong, go find a seat you like first, okay? Teacher is going to comfort that crying little friend first.”

Tang Rong’s hair was slightly long, soft, and smooth. Tangyuan could not resist rubbing it one extra time.

“Okay.” Tang Rong nodded obediently and turned around together with the teacher.

Fortunately, the other children in the class did not start a “chain reaction” of crying just because they heard someone else crying.

After all, in an environment like this, crying was the thing most likely to spread from one child to another.

When the teacher left, Tang Rong began looking around casually.

There were many seats in the classroom, but not many children.

In the front row sat two little girls who looked exactly the same. They both had short bob cuts with a small little braid on each side, and were currently looking Tang Rong over with curious eyes.

Tang Rong immediately raised a hand and rubbed his eyes, beginning to suspect there was something wrong with them. Otherwise, how could he be seeing two little children who looked exactly alike?

The system was so amused by its host’s adorable inner thoughts that it could not help laughing out loud. It quickly explained: [Don’t worry. They’re twins. Twins are two people who look almost exactly the same, came out of their mother’s tummy together, and even have the same birthday.]

Tang Rong was a little shocked, but he accepted it quickly. He even felt a little envious.

To have someone in this world who looked exactly like you, and who had been by your side since birth—it sounded so happy.

But Tang Rong’s gaze did not linger on them for long before he continued looking around at the other empty seats in the classroom.

Right now, the most important thing was choosing the seat he liked best.

Every chair in the classroom had a little animal pattern on the back. Tang Rong’s eyes swept over them one by one, but he did not see the little snow leopard pattern he liked most, and could not help feeling disappointed.

Seeing this, the system, which had its vision cheat, hesitated before saying: [There actually is a seat with a little snow leopard pattern, but it’s already been taken by another child. You can’t see it from this angle.]

The moment its host had entered the virtual classroom, it had already looked over everything here, including all the little animal patterns on the chairs.

The little snow leopard seat was in the last row, and it had been taken by that white-haired, blue-eyed child.

And it had also noticed… that child had been watching its host the whole time. His gaze had hardly moved away from Tang Rong at all. Even when the newly arrived child came in crying, he had not looked over.

That was far too unusual.

The system did not know that child’s identity. Its permissions were not strong enough for it to instantly check every detail about any random person it encountered. But it could sense that he had no ill will at all toward its host.

Maybe it was simply the kind of fondness children had for one another?

Besides that child, some of the other children would also secretly look over at its host from time to time.

After all, its host was beautiful and adorable. It was completely normal for people to like him.

The system did not tell Tang Rong too much, afraid of interfering with the way little children got along with each other. It only told him where the little snow leopard seat was.

Quite a coincidence, really. That child had chosen the little snow leopard seat Tang Rong liked, which meant the two of them were fated in some way. Perhaps they might even become good friends.

Its host had only recently arrived on the capital planet. Other than family, he did not have a single friend his own age, and even his family could not stay by his side in person.

The system hoped its host could make more friends around his own age and grow up happily.

After hearing the system’s words, Tang Rong’s gaze immediately fell on Shen Muhan, who was sitting there with his arms folded and watching him.

The moment their eyes met, Shen Muhan blinked quickly and very naturally shifted his gaze away, continuing to observe what Tang Rong was doing from the corner of his eye. But unconsciously, he also sat up a little straighter.

He knew that Tang Rong was choosing a seat.

Every child in the class had to choose a seat of their own, and the little animal pattern on every seat was different. Barring any surprises, once a seat was chosen, it would not easily be changed again.

He did not even know what exactly he was hoping for. He only knew that when Tang Rong started walking in his direction, it felt as though a little sparrow had suddenly jumped into his heart, hopping around restlessly and stirring up a fuss.

If he were currently in his little snow leopard form, he would definitely stretch out a paw and smack that little sparrow under it so it would stop jumping.

Unfortunately, he was in human form right now. Since he was used to his little snow leopard form walking on all fours, suddenly switching to a human body made him feel a bit awkward in all his limbs. Even walking on two feet felt clumsy.

At last, Tang Rong reached the last row where Shen Muhan was sitting.

Shen Muhan nervously continued observing him from the corner of his eye, only to discover that Tang Rong had gone around behind him and was looking at the chair he was sitting on.

The little animal pattern was printed on the back of the chair, front and back alike, so from behind, one could also see the cute little snow leopard head.

Tang Rong’s eyes lit up a little.

Shen Muhan quickly realized that Tang Rong was looking at the little snow leopard on his chair, and the little sparrow in his heart began jumping even more cheerfully.

She liked little snow leopards too?

Very soon, the seat beside Shen Muhan gained an occupant.

It was Tang Rong.

Although Tang Rong really liked little snow leopards, he knew that this child had picked the little snow leopard seat first. First come, first served. He could not be a bad child and ask someone else to give up their seat for him. Thinking about it the other way around, if he had been the one to choose the little snow leopard seat first and another child suddenly asked him to give it up, he would feel unhappy too.

Being able to sit beside the little snow leopard seat already made him very satisfied.

Not long after sitting down, Tang Rong took the initiative to speak. “brother, do you like little snow leopards too?”

Tang Rong had only turned four a little over a month ago. Because he had suffered a great deal on the garbage planet, he was somewhat smaller than most children his age. Shen Muhan, meanwhile, had grown very well and was slightly taller than children his age usually were, so Tang Rong politely called him brother.

Shen Muhan was practically nervous to death, yet he still pretended to stay calm and gave a simple “Mm.”

He really had almost no experience getting along with children his own age. Although he always felt children his age were too childish, the truth was that when it came to interacting with peers, his experience level was practically zero.

Actually, he had a very good impression of Tang Rong, but he did not know what to do, so all he could manage was an awkward, clumsy reply.

Fortunately, Tang Rong had seen all kinds of people back on the garbage planet and was already used to many people’s cold faces and indifference, so he did not think there was anything wrong with Shen Muhan’s short little “mm.” After all, the other boy had responded to him and had not been mean to him. That was already very good.

And besides, he had given an affirmative answer.

Tang Rong’s eyes instantly curved into adorable little crescents as he happily said, “I like little snow leopards too.”

The moment the words fell, Shen Muhan’s ears suddenly burned red.

His spirit form was a little snow leopard.

Like little snow leopards… liked… liked him…
