Chapter 29
Tang Rong could hardly be blamed for overthinking it. He really had sent Shen Muhan far, far too many messages. Just the photos and videos alone numbered in the dozens—there was no helping it. The little snow leopard was simply too cute, and he always could not help but snap photo after photo. Once he finished taking them, he always wanted to send them to Big Brother Xiao Han.
The other side probably did not even know where to begin replying.
“Miaowu.” The little snow leopard’s long tail curled to the front and lightly hooked around Tang Rong’s wrist. Inside, it was anxious to death, yet there was absolutely nothing it could do.
How could he possibly find Xiao Rong annoying?
At home, he always replied to Xiao Rong’s messages immediately.
Tang Rong rubbed his little face against the soft fur, said nothing more, pulled the little snow leopard into his arms, burrowed into the blanket, and closed his eyes.
Sensing his low mood, the little snow leopard obediently and meekly let itself be held, its ears pressed down. It felt not the slightest bit sleepy. Every strand of fur on its body had grown uncomfortable from guilt.
The system silently watched the whole scene and was practically dying of laughter.
At last, the breathing of the little child holding it gradually evened out.
The little snow leopard quietly pricked up its ears and raised its eyes to look at him.
Long lashes lay obediently lowered, and a few strands of hair had fallen across his thin little cheeks.
The little snow leopard quietly watched him for a few seconds, then finally, very carefully, wriggled out of his arms.
Fortunately, most felines were made of “liquid,” so while it slipped free, it did not wake the sleeping little child.
It went down the small staircase by the bed, one that had been prepared especially for leopards, and with all four paws moving quickly, it ran straight toward the bathroom.
Butler Uncle had once told it that in the whole house, only the bathroom had no surveillance. If there was anywhere convenient for sneaky business, it was the bathroom.
It was going to reply to Xiao Rong’s messages in the bathroom.
Rushing inside, the little snow leopard gave a light leap and landed on top of the smart toilet, which had automatically closed itself. With little ears perked high, it listened to the movement outside. If the little child suddenly woke up, it would press the toilet flush button and rush back immediately.
…
Tang Rong was woken by the alarm.
Perhaps because starting kindergarten used up more of his energy, lately he always slept right until the alarm rang.
He turned off the alarm and instinctively tightened his arms around the fluffy bundle in his embrace, then gave it two kisses on the head.
“Baby, are you awake?”
“Miaowu.”
The little snow leopard nuzzled back against his cheek with its little head.
It had not slept the entire noon.
After sneaking off to the bathroom to reply to the messages, it had stayed awake the whole time until now, anxiously waiting for Xiao Rong to wake up and see the replies, not knowing whether he would forgive it.
After cuddling with the fluffy bundle for a while, Tang Rong finally noticed the new message from Big Brother Xiao Han. Most of his sleepiness instantly vanished, and he eagerly opened their chat window.
[Sorry, Xiao Rong. Because of some reasons, I couldn’t reply to your messages in time.]
[So cute. Eating so enthusiastically.]
[Even drinking water is cute.]
[If Xiao Rong likes flowers, I know how to make flower crowns. I’ll make one for you this afternoon.]
[Even climbing the stairs is cute.]
…
[I may often reply to messages late, but once I’m free later, I’ll always reply to Xiao Rong.]
[Good afternoon. Sleep well. See you this afternoon.]
Because he still knew too few characters, Tang Rong once again listened to the messages one by one through voice reading.
The little snow leopard obediently curled in his arms, listening as the messages it had written were read aloud beside its ears one after another. The tip of its tail lightly tapped the soft bed under it, and its little ears pressed down again.
It really was not very good at praising itself, and it genuinely did not know where Xiao Rong found so many descriptions for how cute the little snow leopard was.
As the voice-read messages played one after another, Tang Rong was like a flower that had drooped from lack of water but was now suddenly nourished by rain, gradually perking back up and blooming again.
Big Brother Xiao Han did not find him annoying, and had even replied to his messages one by one!
That was wonderful.
Tang Rong happily picked up the little snow leopard in his arms and planted several more forceful kisses on its head.
The moment that was done, he sent a voice message back to Shen Muhan in a whoosh: “I’m awake now. Is Big Brother Xiao Han awake yet?”
The little snow leopard, which had just been kissed dizzy, felt its heart instantly leap into its throat. After a fierce inner struggle, it still jumped out of Tang Rong’s arms and rushed straight for the bathroom.
They were about to leave for kindergarten soon. At this hour, if it did not reply immediately to Xiao Rong’s message, it really would not make any sense.
Taking advantage of the fact that Xiao Rong had just woken up and was still slow to react, it could dash into the bathroom and send back one message.
Tang Rong raised his eyes in confusion, but only caught the sight of its long tail disappearing through the bathroom door.
Just then, a knock suddenly sounded on the bedroom door.
Tang Rong glanced toward the door, knowing it was Butler Uncle, and immediately said, “Please come in.”
Only after receiving the little child’s permission did the butler push the door open and enter.
At the very beginning, after knocking, the butler used to go straight in. But after moving to the main planet, it had gradually changed into a habit of waiting for Tang Rong’s permission before entering.
Though he was only four years old, it was already possible to start nurturing a child’s sense of privacy.
The butler strode over to the bedside and said to Tang Rong, who still had not gotten up, “Xiao Rong, Grandpa’s condition has stabilized a little, and he really wants to see Xiao Rong. How about Uncle takes you to see Grandpa this afternoon? We can also stop by the hospital and do a health check for Xiao Rong.”
Tang Rong’s eyes lit up at once, and he answered without hesitation, “Okay!”
But very quickly, he thought of something else and mumbled hesitantly, “But I still have kindergarten this afternoon…”
The butler patiently explained, “You’re allowed to take leave from class once in a while. If there’s really something important, the teacher will always approve it. For example, if a little friend is sick and feels too awful and needs rest, or if a little friend needs to go visit an important family member at the hospital. If Xiao Rong wants to go see Grandpa, Uncle can ask the teacher for leave.”
Tang Rong blinked and quickly digested all the information in those words, then obediently nodded. “I want to go see Grandpa.”
“Alright.” The butler immediately made a call to the teacher.
At the same time, Tang Rong received Shen Muhan’s reply: [I’m awake too. Getting ready to go to kindergarten.]
Tang Rong immediately sent back a voice message: “Big Brother Xiao Han, I’m taking leave this afternoon. I’m going to see Grandpa. See you tomorrow.”
This time, the other side replied very quickly: [Okay. See you tomorrow.]
After closing the optical brain, Tang Rong suddenly remembered something. He hurried out of bed and put on his shoes, saying to the butler as he did, “Uncle, Baby went into the bathroom just now. Why hasn’t he come out yet?”
The moment those words fell, the sound of flushing water came from inside the bathroom.
A few seconds later, the little snow leopard came out guiltily, holding its own tail in its mouth.
Butler: “…”
The butler gave a light cough and deliberately explained, “So he was using the toilet. What a smart little snow leopard—he even knows how to use the smart toilet.”
The smart little snow leopard who knew how to use the smart toilet: “…”
Now that he had his little tiger slippers on, Tang Rong pattered over to the little snow leopard and scooped it back into his arms, rubbing its fur with a proud expression. “Baby is the smartest.”
The little snow leopard flicked its tail-tip uncomfortably.
“Mii.”
Suddenly thinking of something, the butler added, “You can’t bring the little snow leopard this afternoon. It’s best not to bring animals into the hospital.”
Tang Rong obediently nodded, set the little snow leopard back on the floor, and started changing clothes.
He knew that the hospital was a place where people went to be treated. It was very quiet and smelled of disinfectant. It really was not convenient to bring a small animal there.
Before leaving, the butler even specially called over a servant to stay at the house and look after the little snow leopard, unwilling to leave one little leopard home alone without supervision.
Watching helplessly as Tang Rong’s figure disappeared behind the closing door, the little snow leopard’s little tail drooped in boredom.
“Your Highness, it’s time to go to class.” At the side, the “servant” suddenly picked it up and carried it toward the room where the learning pod was.
Though called a servant, this was not someone from the Tang family at all, but one of the imperial household staff who had originally looked after the little snow leopard.
“Miaowu.” The little snow leopard struggled a little.
Xiao Rong was taking leave. It did not want to go to class either.
The servant understood its meaning at once and said, “You can’t skip class. Her Majesty said if you don’t study properly, she’ll have you brought back.”
The little snow leopard instantly gave up.
…
Meanwhile, at the hospital—
“Old Master, this is already the seventh dragon fruit. I really can’t eat any more.” The bodyguard beside the hospital bed looked like his soul had left his body.
But Tang Yinsheng, lying on the hospital bed, did not stop moving his hands for even a moment. He carved another little snow leopard out of the dragon fruit flesh with his knife, and this time it finally turned out a little better.
The skin of the dragon fruit was purple-red, but the flesh inside was white, dotted with many little black seeds. It really did match the little snow leopard’s coloring quite well.
His little grandson liked little snow leopards.
His little grandson was about to come to the hospital and meet him.
He was going to carve the most perfect dragon-fruit snow leopard to give him.
Pretty and delicious—little children would definitely like it.
