Allergic To Furry Things But Can Pet Them Mentally – CH52

Chapter 52

After coming back from their walk, Tang Rong sat on the sofa holding the little snow leopard—whose paws had just been cleaned—and watched cartoons with it for a while. He even used the little comb to smooth its fur.

Once they went back upstairs to the room, Tang Rong immediately spotted the fox doll wearing the little dress, with the bow tied on its tail.

Tang Rong had never expected the clothes that disappeared from the little snow leopard to show up on the fox doll instead. His head filled with question marks, and he froze on the spot.

Seeing this, the butler gave a light cough and showed Tang Rong a clip he had saved from that afternoon. It was footage of the little snow leopard walking past the snack shelf after school, getting its tail bow caught, and falling over.

The video was very short. It only showed the little snow leopard going face-first into the ground, playing on loop. Tang Rong’s brows furrowed with worry as he watched.

The actual little snow leopard had never expected its humiliating moment to be clipped and repeatedly shown in front of Xiao Rong. The entire leopard practically exploded.

Xiao Rong hadn’t yet seen it at its coolest and most handsome—but he had seen it at its dumbest and most embarrassing.

It didn’t want to be branded “stupid” like Cousin…

But it was too small and couldn’t jump high enough to stop the video, so it could only stand there on the floor anxiously going, “Meowu, meowu.”

The butler adjusted his glasses and explained, “This outfit may not really suit the little snow leopard. If it falls again in the future, it wouldn’t be good if it got hurt. How about letting the little fox doll wear it instead? It looks quite nice too.”

Though Xiao Rong liked dressing the little snow leopard in little clothes, the little snow leopard’s true identity was still the little crown prince, and his safety couldn’t be neglected.

Those words went straight to the little snow leopard’s heart. Its mood eased a little, and its tail swayed lightly.

After hearing that, Tang Rong turned off the video, picked up the little snow leopard at his feet, and rubbed his cheek against it.

“Sorry, Baby. Did it hurt when you fell?”

As he spoke, he kissed the top of its head again.

“Miiwu.” The last trace of gloom in the little snow leopard’s heart finally vanished. It gave the lightest little nip to Tang Rong’s hand, then licked it with its small pink tongue, and rubbed its head affectionately against Tang Rong’s cheek in return.

After repeatedly watching the little snow leopard face-plant to the ground, Tang Rong stopped trying to dress it up.

It wasn’t really cold yet anyway. They could talk about it later.

Eden was in autumn right now. Though the temperature had dropped a few degrees after the previous rain, to Tang Rong—who had spent four years living on the junk planet, where it was cold all year round—this still felt fairly warm, and he didn’t think it was cold at all.

And the little snow leopard already had such thick, soft fur, so there wasn’t much to worry about there either.

The next morning when he woke up, Tang Rong found the little snow leopard sleeping soundly in his arms with his hand in its mouth.

A few sharp little teeth were lightly pressing against the skin of his palm. It didn’t hurt. Occasionally the little snow leopard would suck on it a bit. It was so cute Tang Rong could hardly stand it.

Recently, Tang Rong had been feeling much more energetic, and often woke a little earlier than the morning alarm. The little snow leopard, on the other hand, was still the same as always. It slept wonderfully beside Tang Rong and would keep sleeping until it was woken up.

Today’s kindergarten activity was different from all the ones before.

Early in the morning, Teacher Tangyuan mysteriously told them she was taking them to the playground for a group event. There would be many children from other classes and even other grades there. It would be especially lively, and they might even make new friends.

The entrance to the playground was a door in the courtyard outside the classroom. Usually, this door stayed hidden, and only the teacher had the authority to open it. That was also to keep the children from secretly slipping away.

But today, Teacher Tangyuan opened it.

One after another, the six little children walked out through the door and arrived at the bustling playground.

The playground was packed with children, almost all of kindergarten age—there were those from the small class, the middle class, and the big class.

There was also a huge variety of play equipment there, enough to make one dizzy. It was even richer than the children’s amusement park at the mall. After all, this was virtual space, where the possibilities for creation were endless.

At one glance, Tang Rong spotted the giant sandpit.

Inside it, many children had built beautiful little houses. It seemed that the sand in virtual space was far easier to shape than real sand.

Tang Rong still remembered the castle he had once promised Shen Muhan over the weekend.

At the time, the sand at the children’s amusement park had been too hard to build with, and he had failed.

Tang Rong immediately rubbed his little hands together excitedly and went to the sandpit, found an empty spot with no other children, and began earnestly trying to build a castle.

The castle was something he had seen in cartoons—a place where royal family members lived, and, in his subconscious, the grandest kind of house.

Still, he already knew that Big Brother Xiao Han was the Crown Prince, a member of the royal family… and wondered whether he also lived in a beautiful castle like that.

He really wanted to see the place Big Brother Xiao Han lived in.

But Shen Muhan, after following Tang Rong over to the sandpit, suddenly said he would come back in a bit, then turned and left, with no indication of where he had gone.

Tang Rong guessed he had probably spotted something interesting and gone off to play with it.

Luo Yue, Luo Xing, and Qi Fu had done the same—Luo Yue and Luo Xing had gone to play shuttlecock with other children, while Qi Fu had gone off in a low-flying hover car.

Only Bai Tu still stuck close to Tang Rong, playing in the sand with him and unwilling to go off alone.

There were several teachers in charge of each activity, and their own class teacher always had every child’s location at all times, so there was no need to worry about any accidents happening in virtual space.

After all, in virtual space, the chances of a real accident were extremely, extremely small. The most likely “accident” was simply some conflict breaking out between children.

And, naturally, the very thing one feared came to pass.

Once Tang Rong had built the foundation of his little castle, he began carefully shaping the upper part.

Bai Tu sat obediently by his side, helping now and then while chatting with him from time to time. He told Tang Rong that at home, in the greenhouse vegetable patch, he had planted lots and lots of carrots. When Xiao Rong came to visit his house next week, he would pull up all the mature carrots and treat Xiao Rong to them. Carrots tasted good whether eaten raw or cooked.

Tang Rong listened with smiling eyes and said okay.

At the same time, he was quietly thinking about what kind of gift he should bring Bai Tu when he visited next week.

Bai Tu was going to pull up all his carrots to treat him—Tang Rong definitely couldn’t be stingy.

As he thought about this and kept shaping the sand, he suddenly heard the system’s voice in his head:

[Huh? Isn’t that the little boy you saw before at your maternal grandpa’s house?]

Tang Rong followed the hint and raised his eyes, only to meet eyes directly with Yun Qi, who was approaching them.

The system continued: [He can’t be… ] about to start trouble again, can he?

Before the system could finish, the other side suddenly sped up and came at them with a sharp, forceful kick.

Before Tang Rong could react, the half-built little castle was kicked apart by a foot, and the sand used to make it flew all over Tang Rong with the motion of the kick.

Fortunately, since this was virtual space, the sand data recognized important areas like a child’s eyes, nose, mouth, and ears. Just before reaching them, all of it instantly dissolved into sparkling code and vanished completely.

But Tang Rong’s hair, cheeks, clothes, and body were still inevitably splashed all over with sand.

Tang Rong was stunned by the sudden turn of events, sitting there blankly as his eyes instinctively turned a little red.

Everything had happened far too fast. Even though the teacher in charge of watching over the sandpit noticed immediately, there was no time to stop it.

Two teachers rushed over right away. One checked on Tang Rong and soothed him, while the other went to Yun Qi’s side to prevent him from doing anything unfriendly again.

But Yun Qi struck first with his excuse.

“I wasn’t watching where I was going and slipped. I accidentally kicked it. Sorry about that.”

There was not a single trace of actual apology in his attitude.

The system was so furious it nearly exploded, cursing that brat a thousand times over in its head.

Thanks to the system’s voice, Tang Rong gradually came back to his senses. He realized his eyes were wet. The sand itself hadn’t gotten into them, but the sharp gust brought by the sand had swept across them and left them stinging.

His heart was full of confusion, anger, and hurt.

Before Tang Rong could react, and before the two teachers could say anything, Bai Tu—whom everyone had instinctively overlooked—suddenly charged forward, shoved Yun Qi hard, and sent him flying back two or three meters straight into the sandpit.

Bai Tu’s speed and strength were far beyond what a child his age should have had. In fact, even the two adult teachers couldn’t compare.

The teacher beside Yun Qi reacted quickly and tried to catch him, but only managed to grab a corner of his clothes—his clothing tore right away.

No one had expected that what looked like just a “light” shove would create such a terrifying effect.

Bai Tu had been sitting with Tang Rong the entire time. His hands weren’t as clever as Tang Rong’s, and he wasn’t good at building castles, so he had had more attention to spare for noticing what was happening around them.

He had seen the entire process of Yun Qi deliberately kicking apart Tang Rong’s castle. It absolutely had not been an accident.

Tang Rong had spent so long building that castle, only for this bad child to destroy it with one kick.

“Waaah… You did it on purpose… on purpose to bully Xiao Rong… waaah…”

Bai Tu was so furious that his eyes had completely reddened, and tears rolled down rapidly. Crying as he did so, he rushed over, bent down, and with both little hands scooped up sand from the ground as fast as he could, frantically flinging it at Yun Qi, who had fallen and couldn’t get back up, burying most of him as if planting a carrot.

The moment Bai Tu thought of the miserable sight of Tang Rong with sand all over him, he cried even harder and buried Yun Qi even deeper.

Bai Tu’s speed was so fast the teachers couldn’t react in time at all.

It was obvious he was a child with a spirit form. In every way, his physical condition far exceeded that of an ordinary person.

Tang Rong was completely stunned too.

The system was equally shocked:

[Holy—… rampaging rabbit.]

By the time Shen Muhan noticed the commotion and rushed back over, what he saw was Tang Rong covered in sand, his eyes faintly red, and Bai Tu crying so hard he looked like pear blossoms in rain while a teacher was patting his back and soothing him.

Meanwhile, Yun Qi had finally been helped out of the sandpit by another teacher.

Shen Muhan rushed straight up to Yun Qi and grabbed him by the collar without the slightest politeness.

“What did you do to them?”
