Allergic To Furry Things But Can Pet Them Mentally – CH32

Chapter 32

In this open era where same-sex marriage was legal, there was nothing strange about two boys being together.

But what was not normal was that his little cub was only four years old!! The little cabbage had only just sprouted—how could it already be getting snatched away like this!!

The old father was furious. The old father was heartbroken.

“Okay.” On the other side of the one-way glass, the little cub’s eyes curved into crescents as he nodded his little head toward the person on the video call, his expression brimming with eager anticipation.

The old father’s heart shattered into pieces on the spot, and there was no way to piece it back together again.

The butler sitting behind Tang Rong adjusted his glasses, the emotions in his eyes hidden behind the glare on the lenses. A few minutes later, he finally spoke. “Rongrong, we still need to continue the examinations. If we finish earlier, we can go back earlier to see Grandpa. If there’s nothing urgent, you can wait until tomorrow at kindergarten to keep chatting.”

Tang Rong glanced at Butler Uncle after hearing that, obediently nodded, and said goodbye to the child on the video call, “I have to keep doing my check-up now! See you tomorrow, Little Han-brother!”

“Okay, see you tomorrow.” Shen Muhan did not notice anything unusual at all.

The butler eagerly hung up the video call for Tang Rong, carried him over to the next examination instrument, and secretly decided to dock one little chicken drumstick from the little snow leopard tonight.

Behind the one-way glass, Tang Zheng’en finally sat back down in his chair, and Han Zhi and Shen Chuanqiong’s hearts, which had been hanging in suspense, eased a little as well.

Their son was still too young and had not met many people. Although he liked reading and learning, his interests were mostly in history, science, biology, and similar subjects. Most likely, he had no idea what it meant to wear a ring on the ring finger. He had probably only copied his father and mother, since both of them wore their rings on that finger.

Still, he had unintentionally taken advantage of someone else’s little child…

When they got back, they absolutely had to find a tactful way to teach him a bit of this “common sense.”

After several more examinations, the door at the side was suddenly pushed open, and someone dressed as a nurse entered carrying an injured black puppy wearing a muzzle.

Not only was the puppy muzzled, it also had a chain around its neck. Its paws and tail were tightly wrapped in white bandages, its ears drooped, and it looked to be in very poor spirits.

“Doctor Lin, my dog got hurt. I’ll leave him with you for a while and pick him up after work to take him to the animal hospital,” said the nurse. Her acting was not especially good, and she looked a bit nervous, but it was more than enough to fool a four-year-old cub.

“Alright.” Doctor Lin nodded, took the puppy, and stroked its fur.

Because of the examination, Tang Rong was sitting very close to Doctor Lin. The moment he saw the puppy being brought over, he instinctively shrank back a little. Then he remembered that the buff from the card he had used earlier was still active, and that even if touching a puppy caused an allergic reaction, it would not endanger his life. Little by little, his body relaxed again.

The butler was pressed right beside him, so naturally he noticed the reaction. He assumed it was simply Tang Rong’s instinctive fear of animals, and immediately raised a hand to gently rub his back in comfort.

The system, which had been silently watching everything, suddenly spoke up: [Host, try touching this puppy on purpose.]

At almost the same time as the system’s voice, Doctor Lin said, “Rongrong, take a little break for now. Let doctor-auntie settle this poor little puppy first.”

“Okay.” Tang Rong blinked, then after a few seconds stood up from his seat.

Since the system had said that, then this puppy probably would not make him allergic either. That was wonderful.

“Doctor-auntie, can I pet the puppy?” Tang Rong asked.

Doctor Lin was pleasantly surprised.

Their original plan had been to guide Tang Rong into touching the puppy, but before they could even begin steering things in that direction, he had already asked on his own.

And naturally, this puppy was not any ordinary puppy either. It was actually a wounded lieutenant from the army, who had been injured for quite a long time. Only last week had he finally managed to revert to juvenile form. His injuries were healing especially slowly—most of all his tail, which had been the most badly injured. It had nearly been torn completely off, hanging by only a bit of skin and flesh. A tremendous amount of effort had gone into saving that tail.

The puppy and Tang Rong’s eldest brother Tang Yao were friends who had been through life and death together. His gambling father had lost the family fortune and died in the streets. His mother had raised him alone, and the family had not been well off. He had ambition but no opportunity to use it, and had dropped out of school early to work and help support the household. Tang Yao had recognized his talent, recommended him to military school and then into the army, helped his mother find a stable and easy job, and had even saved his life on the battlefield—he was someone they could absolutely trust.

Their plan had been to use this puppy to test Tang Rong’s ability.

As for why they had not told Tang Rong everything and instead used the excuse of a physical exam…

There was no helping it. Tang Rong was still too young, and his ability was not yet something they could confirm with complete certainty. If he knew too much, it would be too easy for him to let something slip. It would be safer to tell him only after everything had been fully confirmed.

His maternal grandfather—that man from the Yun family—was still waiting to meet him. If he were to learn of Tang Rong’s ability, he would definitely stop at nothing to take him away and raise him as a tool to prop up the family. And if he tricked some information out of Tang Rong, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Even if the examination results confirmed that Tang Rong truly possessed some special healing ability, they planned to wait until after he had met his grandfather before telling him.

“Of course you can. He’s very well-behaved. You can pet him however you like.” Doctor Lin eagerly floated the tray holding the puppy in front of Tang Rong and adjusted it to the most suitable height for him.

Tang Rong carefully reached out and stroked the puppy’s fur in the places that were not injured.

[Ding~ Points +10]

The points gained were not as high as with the little snow leopard or the little lion before, but it was still a very nice amount.

But the system’s reason for telling him to pet the puppy was not simply about earning points. It was because of a guess in its mind that had now been all but confirmed.

It knew it—this “physical exam” was definitely not that simple. What they really wanted to test was probably its host’s talent and abilities.

Could it be that the host had inherited his mother’s healing gift, and was even more powerful than she had been, to the point that ordinary methods could not detect it? Was that why they had gone to such elaborate lengths to stage all of this?

If so, then everything made sense.

Including the question that had troubled it most: why Shen Muhan wanted to stay by its host’s side in little snow leopard form—there had to be something wrong with his spiritual power and spirit form, and he needed to cuddle with its host to ease it.

Good grief…

So the reason the main system had designed the host’s allergies to worsen to the point of threatening his life had not been to dig a pit for it at all. It had been guiding the host and the system toward healing all these people whose spiritual power and spirit forms were damaged.

Its host was actually such an incredible cub!

The system was proud. The system felt deeply honored.

Once the host’s test results came out, the family would definitely tell him and start training him.

It would watch its host become an especially, especially powerful healer—petting more fluffy spirit forms and earning even more points!

The puppy’s fur was pitch black, and so were its eyes. They looked up at the little cub right in front of him, damp and glossy.

So this was Brother Yao’s little brother? What a cute child. Completely different from Brother Yao’s poker face.

Under those dark eyes fixed on him so intently, Tang Rong kept petting the puppy for a while longer and even helped Doctor-auntie feed it a little water.

Because of the muzzle, the water could only be given through a syringe with the needle removed.

Tang Rong slowly pressed the syringe with his little hands, extremely focused. Under the muzzle, a pink tongue quickly lapped at the water, cooperating very obediently.

The puppy was hurt, so it must feel awful. Tang Rong wanted to make it feel a little better.

After the water was finished, Tang Rong stroked the puppy’s fur again, smiling with curved eyes as he said, “Rest well, okay? You’ll definitely get better very soon.”

The puppy instinctively wanted to give him some kind of enthusiastic response, but with the muzzle on, he could not lick Tang Rong’s palm, nor could he bump him with his damp little nose.

But very quickly, inspiration struck the puppy—

Its little tail started wagging rapidly.

What better way was there for a puppy to show warm and enthusiastic feelings than wagging its tail?

The answer was none.

With his whole mind full of wanting to interact with the little cub in front of him, the puppy completely forgot about his current condition.

He kept wagging and wagging his tail… until there came a snap, and the tail simply fell off onto the tray.

Puppy: 0.0

Oops.

Forgot that the tail wasn’t supposed to wag.

This useless tail…

Tang Rong: “!!!”

Tang Rong was so frightened that the rims of his eyes instantly turned red. Looking helplessly toward Doctor-auntie at the side, his voice trembled and broke. “The puppy… the puppy’s tail fell off, wuwu… wuwuwu…”
