Allergic To Furry Things But Can Pet Them Mentally – CH58

Chapter 58

The butler immediately called in the family doctor. While soothing the little child, who was crying so hard he looked like a pear blossom in the rain, he changed him into clean clothes and waited for the doctor’s conclusion.

After a thorough examination, the little snow leopard looked even more dispirited, but fortunately, it turned out to be nothing serious—it had simply drunk too much milk.

For the near future, it absolutely could not be given milk again. It should drink a little warm water instead, take some probiotics to regulate its stomach, and the doctor would coordinate with the chef regarding its meals. For the time being, chicken drumsticks and the like were definitely off the menu.

Tang Rong was so anxious that both his eyes and the tip of his nose had turned red. The moment he saw the little snow leopard being carried back, his eyes began to glisten again.

It was all his fault.

If he hadn’t fed Baby so much milk, Baby wouldn’t have gotten sick.

When Tang Rong first arrived on the main planet, he had vomited because he couldn’t adjust to the environment, so he knew very well how awful vomiting felt. Even though it might look like you felt a little better afterward, in truth, your body still stayed in an unhealthy state and couldn’t really feel comfortable at all.

“Miiwu.” Meeting the little child’s worried eyes, the little snow leopard had no strength at all, but it still weakly let out a sound to reassure him not to worry.

This was already the third time it had seen Xiao Rong cry. Aside from the second time, when Xiao Rong had been bullied by a bad child, the first and third times had both been because of it.

It didn’t want Xiao Rong to cry.

It was strong—it would get better very quickly. It was the only being in the entire star system with SSS-level spiritual power. There was no way a few bottles of milk could defeat it.

A little hand approached carefully and gently patted its head. Because of what had just happened, Tang Rong no longer dared to pick it up too casually, afraid that holding it would make it vomit again.

Though still uncomfortable, the little snow leopard nonetheless lifted its head and forcefully nuzzled back against Tang Rong’s palm.

That night, Tang Rong did not hold the little snow leopard while sleeping. Instead, he placed it in the little bed right beside his own, afraid that if he kept holding it down against himself, it might feel uncomfortable.

The small bed had been sent over by Uncle and Auntie. It was what the little snow leopard used back home. Though tiny in size, it was extremely soft, and for one little leopard cub it was more than spacious enough.

It had been sitting unused before, since the little snow leopard had always slept together with Tang Rong. He hadn’t expected it would finally come in handy like this.

Although the little snow leopard very much wanted to sleep together with Tang Rong, and in truth its body no longer felt as bad as before, once it met Tang Rong’s worried eyes and remembered the image of him crying, it obediently listened.

Used to holding something in his arms while sleeping, Tang Rong hugged the nine-tailed fox doll instead. After saying “good night” to the little snow leopard in the small bed by the bedside, he switched off the little lamp.

In the darkness, the little snow leopard’s beast eyes rose upright, glowing faintly.

In the middle of the night, dragging its uncomfortable body, the little snow leopard climbed up the little staircase by the bed, made its way onto Tang Rong’s bed, pulled the nine-tailed fox doll out of Tang Rong’s arms, and curled up in its place.

Don’t even think about stealing its spot just because it was sick.

The sleeping little child noticed nothing at all.

The system, however, saw everything and still didn’t think much of it.

In its view, its host had a powerful healing gift, and the little snow leopard had originally stayed by his side under a false identity because of that healing gift. Being near him felt comfortable, which was why it had secretly taken the nine-tailed fox doll’s place in the middle of the night.

When Tang Rong woke up the next morning, he instinctively rubbed his face against the fluffy thing in his arms. Only afterward did he realize that what he was holding was not the nine-tailed fox doll at all, but the little snow leopard.

“Baby?” A large portion of Tang Rong’s sleepiness vanished at once.

“Mii.” The little snow leopard touched his cheek with its damp little nose.

As for the fact that the little snow leopard had failed to sleep obediently in its little bed and had somehow sneaked into his arms, Tang Rong felt a little helpless, but he simply couldn’t get angry with it. If anything, because the little snow leopard depended on him like this and liked snuggling with him so much, he even felt a little untimely happiness.

“How are you feeling?” Tang Rong sat up in bed and stroked its fur.

“Meowu.” The little snow leopard stood up too, its little tail lifted. It clearly looked much better.

Its stomach was actually still a little uncomfortable, but in order not to make Xiao Rong worry, it could pretend.

That morning, the little snow leopard no longer had any milk. In its place was a bit of easy-to-digest porridge mixed with specially prepared nutritional liquid.

The little snow leopard had no appetite and only ate a little.

Afterward, Tang Rong took up a little handkerchief and carefully wiped the fur around its mouth, taking excellent care of it.

For the sake of its health, he had even requested a day off from kindergarten for it. The imperial side also sent over a doctor, and it underwent a thorough examination once again.

The little snow leopard lay in the doctor’s arms while making a video call with its dad and mom.

After a few words of concern, Han Zhi suddenly said leisurely, “When we fed you milk at home before, we had to chase you around with it, and you refused to drink no matter what. So how is it that once Xiao Rong fed you, you drank until you vomited?”

A jab from its biological mother—every word pierced the heart.

Out of sheer guilt, the little snow leopard instantly hung up the video call.

Han Zhi exchanged a look with the husband sitting beside her.

Shen Chuanqiong said exactly what she was thinking, sighing with feeling, “A son grows up and can’t be kept at home anymore.”

…

Tang Rong had never expected that not only had the little snow leopard gotten sick, but Big Brother Xiao Han had gotten sick too.

The whole day at kindergarten, he had been listless and unable to gather much enthusiasm.

The system was clawing at itself in frustration, nearly wanting to directly ask its host—Have you really not noticed how many bizarre overlaps there are between your little snow leopard and your Big Brother Xiao Han?

But the system still held back.

Shen Muhan had already repeatedly tested how its host would react to learning that he had deceived him while wearing a false identity. He was definitely not far from confessing the truth.

At the beginning, the system had chosen silence. There was no reason to suddenly break that silence now.

A few days later, the little snow leopard finally recovered, and Shen Muhan also returned to kindergarten.

During its illness, the little snow leopard had been kept on a very light diet, and it hadn’t touched a single chicken drumstick.

After it recovered, the butler specially instructed the chef to add one extra chicken drumstick for it.

After all, its illness had been caused by one of their own children, so they ought to compensate it somehow. Though they didn’t dare add too much—after all, it had only just recovered, and its diet still needed some restraint.

The little snow leopard ate until its mouth was greasy with oil and let out a delighted burp.

That very night, it took the initiative to carry over the little baby bottle and present it to Tang Rong, asking him to mix milk for it and feed it.

At first, Tang Rong hesitated. The memory of the little snow leopard vomiting from milk last time was too vivid. But the butler said, “From now on, the little snow leopard’s milk will always be put in a bottle. Xiao Rong can feed it. One bottle a day is fine and good for its health.”

Only then did Tang Rong eagerly mix up a bottle of milk in the little bottle.

He still truly enjoyed the process of feeding the little snow leopard.

And on the first day Shen Muhan returned to class, Tang Rong also rushed over and hugged him at once.

“Big Brother Xiao Han, are you okay? How did you get sick?”

Shen Muhan nodded somewhat awkwardly, but there was no possible way for him to answer the last question, so he only said, “It was just something minor. It’s fine. My body has always had a few small problems since I was little, but it’s much better now.”

Remembering how, at the beginning, Shen Muhan hadn’t even walked very steadily, Tang Rong felt even more heartache for him. Suddenly thinking of something, he said, “Then this weekend, do you want to have a good…” good rest.

But before Tang Rong could finish, Shen Muhan cut him off. “I’m already fully recovered. It won’t affect us meeting this weekend. I already promised to treat you to steamed buns. I can’t go back on my word.”

“Okay then.” Tang Rong could only obediently nod.

…

The weekend arrived right on time. The little snow leopard had been picked up by Uncle and Auntie for a few days because it had been sick, while the two little children met at the mall they had agreed on.

Shen Muhan had already found out exactly which shop in this mall sold pumpkin buns. Before long, the two little children were each crouching with one pumpkin-colored bun in hand, gnawing away at them together.

—The stall selling pumpkin buns was a breakfast stand on the street below the mall. It only had a storefront opening and no tables or chairs to sit at, so the only option was to squat and eat.

Watching the two little radish heads smiling happily, the butler held the pumpkin bun he had also been given and smiled helplessly as he lowered his head and took a bite.

To be fair, it really was delicious.

If not for the little crown prince, he would never have known that Xiao Rong treasured something as cheap and easy to make as pumpkin buns so much.

Ever since returning to the main planet, they had always provided Xiao Rong with what they assumed were the very best, high-end meals according to the nutritionist’s plan—yet they had overlooked what he actually liked.

From now on, they should prepare one every morning for breakfast.

…

Elsewhere, in the office at the top floor of Floating Isle Mall, Shen Yuchun paced back and forth while the husky followed right behind him, also pacing in circles, its tail wagging nonstop.

Then, suddenly, ding—the elevator opened, and the assistant walked in.

Shen Yuchun strode over at once, grabbed his assistant-brother by the arm, and asked impatiently, “Has Xiao Han still not come with Xiao Rong?”

The husky also rushed into the still-open elevator.

The assistant quickly chased the husky back out, manually shut the elevator door, turned around, and delivered the unfortunate news to his boss:

“They went to the mall across from yours instead.”

Shen Yuchun was struck like a bolt from the blue.
