Allergic To Furry Things But Can Pet Them Mentally – CH42

Chapter 42

Tang Rong remembered now.

That afternoon, from that child who seemed to know Little Han-brother, he had heard the words “little crown prince.” At the time, he had thought it was someone’s name, but then he got distracted by Little Han-brother’s photo and threw the matter to the back of his mind.

Now, the “crown prince” and “crown princess” he was hearing should be something similar to “little crown prince.”

Tang Rong really wanted to ask the system in his head what it meant, but the little girl had already finished speaking and was now standing in front of them, looking at them and waiting for a reply. If he waited for the system to explain, she would definitely be left hanging for too long.

Tang Rong instinctively looked at Shen Muhan beside him, silently signaling for him to decide.

The little crown prince and Little Han-brother had to be connected somehow, and Little Han-brother most likely knew what crown prince and crown princess meant.

If he wanted to play the game, Tang Rong could play along with him. If he did not want to, then they simply would not play.

How could Shen Muhan possibly not know what crown prince and crown princess meant?

He did not even need to role-play it—he was the real thing.

But… crown princess…

The moment he sensed Tang Rong’s gaze on him, Shen Muhan’s ears turned red again.

Gritting his teeth, he made up his mind. “We’ll play.”

The little girl was delighted and invited the two of them to their “territory.”

Because two new children had joined, they decided to move to a bigger, cleaner territory for their make-believe game, so the group went together to the building block area nearby.

On the way over, Tang Rong asked Shen Muhan, “Little Han-brother, what are crown prince and crown princess?”

Originally, he had wanted to ask the system, but the system had not answered him directly. Instead, it had told him to ask Little Han-brother, saying that Little Han-brother would explain it to him.

So Tang Rong asked him directly.

Shen Muhan’s ears were still burning red. Hearing Tang Rong ask it so directly only made them burn even hotter. Stumbling slightly over his words, he answered, “A crown prince is… the child of the emperor and empress. A crown princess… a crown princess is the crown prince’s… wife.”

When he said those last two words, Shen Muhan’s ears reached peak redness.

Tang Rong did know what “wife” meant.

Back on the garbage planet, some uncles would also call the person they loved wife. Especially the uncle who sold breakfast buns—every other sentence from him included “my wife,” and from time to time he would even give Tang Rong a little bun.

Tang Rong summarized it simply: “So I’m going to play Little Han-brother’s wife.”

Shen Muhan: “…”

Shen Muhan: “Mm.”

Where Tang Rong could not see, Shen Muhan’s other hand had already nervously clenched his own sleeve.

Tang Rong did not think much of it. It was only pretending in a make-believe game. Then he thought of something else and asked in a small voice, “This afternoon, the child at Grandfather’s house said Little Han-brother is the little crown prince. Is Little Han-brother really the crown prince?”

Shen Muhan had not expected that boy from the Yun family to be so loose-lipped. Some displeasure rose in him, but he still nodded. Then he raised one finger to his lips in a “shh” gesture.

He would not hide it from little Rong, but there were too many people here. He did not want others overhearing.

Tang Rong immediately understood something and blinked. He did not continue asking.

…

To make sure the children stayed safe, there were many patrolling little robots throughout the children’s play area.

Seeing that the two little cubs had gone inside to play for quite some time, and having nothing much to do, the butler borrowed access permissions for one of the patrol robots from the staff and linked it to his optical brain, allowing him to share the robot’s captured visuals and audio.

He leisurely guided the patrol robot to drift around inside until it finally located two familiar little figures.

They were not playing by themselves, but with several unfamiliar children.

So they had made new friends.

The butler was very pleased.

Making more friends was a good thing. In the future, on weekends, they could all arrange to come here together and play.

At once, the butler controlled the little robot to move closer, wanting to observe what they were playing.

Who would have thought that the moment it drew near, he would hear a boy’s voice say, “The empress and I have decided to hold a wedding for you.”

Then the little girl beside him said, “You two just need to kiss each other on the cheek once, and that will count as the wedding being complete.”

Tang Rong immediately leaned in and smacked a kiss onto Shen Muhan’s cheek.

With his ears red, Shen Muhan pressed his lips together and then also leaned in to smooch Tang Rong on the cheek.

“Congratulations on your wedding! From now on you’re a real married couple!”

butler: “?”

A little later, a girl’s voice said, “The crown prince and crown princess are going to sleep now. Going to bed early and waking up early makes you good babies.”

With that, Tang Rong and Shen Muhan obediently leaned together inside the little area enclosed with blocks, pretending to sleep.

butler: “??”

“Your babies are born now—they’re twins.” The little girl stuffed two little things made of connected building blocks into Tang Rong’s and Shen Muhan’s arms.

butler: “???”

What on earth were they even playing at??!!

…

By the time the two little children came out of the indoor play area, it was already evening.

The butler watched the two of them walk over hand in hand.

What made him feel even more overwhelmed was that they were carrying a bag of loose building blocks in their hands.

The butler knew exactly what that was—the remains of their “babies” after being taken apart.

The staff, seeing them hold onto those twin building block balls the whole time, had made their own decision and packed them up into a bag for them, giving it to them as they left, thinking they could continue playing with them at home.

Taking the building blocks from them, the butler felt the weight in his hands—and the heaviness in his heart as well.

He truly did not know how he was supposed to report everything that had happened this afternoon to the family tonight…

It was getting late, and the two little cubs were already getting hungry. There were only a few stores left whose stamps they had not collected, so the two of them hurried around and got them one by one.

As soon as they got the final stamp, that little witch NPC with the owl on her shoulder suddenly appeared again. She took the little booklet from them, flipped through it, returned it, clapped her hands, and said, “Amazing! You’ve collected every stamp. Next, the little friends will receive a surprise gift. All you need to do is draw the one item you want most on the last page, and the little witch will, within her abilities, give you whatever is drawn there.”

With that, she handed them a pen.

This had been specially arranged by Shen Yuchun. He had not known what to give the two little children, so he simply handed the choice over to them.

A wish coming true was itself a very good gift, wasn’t it?

Shen Muhan was not good at drawing and there was nothing in particular he wanted, so he handed the pen to Tang Rong and let him decide.

Tang Rong did not push it away. Acting all mysterious, he took the little booklet to an empty corner and bent over it, drawing away.

A few minutes later, Tang Rong came pattering back with the booklet and handed it to the little witch NPC.

The little witch opened it, glanced at it, froze for an instant, then returned the booklet to Tang Rong and said with a smile, “Please wait a moment. The little witch is going to prepare the gift.”

Shen Muhan immediately asked, “What did little Rong draw?”

The butler was curious too.

But Tang Rong hugged the booklet to his chest, still acting very mysterious, and said, “You’ll know in a little while.”

…

Meanwhile, the little witch phoned the assistant and told him what had been drawn on the last page, asking how much would be appropriate.

The assistant fell silent for a moment, then said, “I’ll go ask Brother Shen.”

After getting the call from the assistant, Shen Yuchun laughed. “As expected of my future little brother-in-law—he takes after me. Add a few more zeroes and put it on my account.”

Assistant: “…”

He doesn’t even know who you are, and you’ve already jumped straight to little brother-in-law.

There was truly no saving him.

…

Not long after, the little witch came back. She crouched down and guided Tang Rong to open his optical brain, then transferred him a sum of star coins with a very long string of zeroes at the end.

Only then did Shen Muhan and the butler finally find out what Tang Rong had drawn on the last page of the booklet—star coins.

It was somewhat unexpected, yet also somehow exactly what one might have expected.

For a little cub who had suffered so much on the garbage planet, who had not had enough to eat or wear, the thing he most wanted was naturally star coins, which could buy all kinds of things.

Staring at all those zeroes following the amount, Tang Rong’s eyes went completely round.

He had only drawn the image of star coins, thinking that if he could get a little bit of money, then he could buy presents for his family.

He was actually getting this much?!

Baby Rong was shocked.jpg

After transferring the money, the little witch NPC immediately left. Tang Rong did not even have a chance to ask questions, and his whole person felt as if he were floating.

The butler smiled helplessly, knowing full well this was Shen Yuchun’s doing. The Tang family now owed him a favor, but there would be chances to return it later.

It took Tang Rong quite a long time to recover from the shock and accept the fact that he had become a super rich cub. Then he began planning how to use the money.

First, he had to transfer half of it to Little Han-brother, because they had earned it together. The two of them should split it equally; he could not keep it all.

Then he had to buy a gift for every family member, including the little snow leopard.

He also wanted to splurge and print a few photos to hang up in his room.

As for the rest, he had to save it and not spend it carelessly.

His family’s illnesses would continue to cost money in the future, and he had no idea how Eldest Brother’s surgery was going. He needed to save more money just in case.

But Shen Muhan did not take the money. He only said, “Little Rong can keep it for me. You don’t need to transfer it to me. Next time when we go out together, little Rong can just pay for me directly.”

And just like that, he smoothly laid the groundwork for their next date.

Tang Rong had no choice but to obediently nod. Then his stomach suddenly growled.

It was getting late, and he was a little hungry.

The plan for tonight had been to go home and eat there. After all, he had been out since early morning and had not accompanied the little snow leopard at all today, so tonight he had to go back and eat with the little snow leopard.

But at the same time, he was reluctant to part from Little Han-brother.

Tang Rong pressed his lips together, lifted his eyes, and invited him, “Little Han-brother, do you want to come to my house for dinner? You can pet my little snow leopard too.”
