Chapter 81
The inside of the car fell utterly silent.
Before Tang Rong could even react, Tang Zheng’en reached out with lightning speed and directly hit the optical brain button to redraw the card.
Tang Rong tilted his little head in confusion.
Tang Zheng’en gave a light cough and explained, “Only grown-ups who are already adults can kiss the person they like.”
Tang Rong gave a slow little nod, then continued asking, “Where do you kiss when you kiss?”
Tang Zheng’en raised a hand and pointed at his own mouth.
So kissing meant kissing on the mouth.
Tang Rong had seen lovers kiss on the mouth before, but he hadn’t known that was called kissing.
He had learned something new!
While this little science lesson was going on, the newly drawn card had already flipped over. On it were the words: “Choose one person present to act as your lover for one minute.”
Tang Zheng’en: “…”
It was a little better than the last one, but not that much better.
He had more or less figured out what kind of category this whole deck belonged to.
As expected, Tang Rong chose Shen Muhan, who was about the same age as him, to be the “lover” in the roleplay.
After all, they already had experience. They had once played little crown prince and crown princess, emperor and empress, in house games before.
Fortunately, the space inside the hovering car wasn’t particularly large, so there was only so much the two little cubs could do. It was just hand-holding, talking, and a bit of simple interaction.
Tang Rong said very earnestly, “Wifey, I’ll feed you a little biscuit.”
Shen Muhan cooperatively took the biscuit Tang Rong offered him and obediently ate it, truly looking like a little wife being taken care of.
Tang Rong pulled out another tissue. “Wifey, let me wipe your mouth.”
Shen Muhan obediently let him wipe away the biscuit crumbs beside his mouth.
“Wifey…”
“Wifey…”
Tang Zheng’en’s eyes gradually curved into a happy squint.
His little cub would definitely cherish his wife very much in the future. Just like him.
Taking advantage of that one minute, the butler quickly checked through the entire truth-or-dare card set.
This was from the most popular game platform on StarNet, one with many officially approved and regulated optical brain games. This deck really was themed around romance and flirtation, but the content was all quite normal. The most “out-there” one had only been kissing. There was nothing vulgar in it.
After checking all of them one by one, the butler did not replace the deck.
The role of “mother” was already absent in the child’s life. If, through games, he could also learn a little about things related to “love,” that was not necessarily a bad thing.
Like that kissing card just now—it had been a good chance to teach the little cub that he couldn’t casually kiss people mouth-to-mouth.
And it might even help push along the emotional progress between elder brother and sister-in-law.
Pretty good.
The next round pointed to Shen Muhan, and the card he drew was similar to Tang Rong’s earlier one.
This time it was Tang Rong’s turn to act as his wife, and Shen Muhan happily repeated everything Tang Rong had just done for him.
The world of children was especially simple—wives were meant to be cared for and doted on, and one simply had to be very, very good to one’s wife.
Tang Zheng’en, who had been all smiles just now, suddenly was not smiling anymore.
After playing a few more rounds, Shen Yuchun and Tang Qiu both grew increasingly silent. Tang Yao and Lin Fei had already started making an appointment to register for their marriage certificate. Tang Rong, meanwhile, gradually became attracted by the scenery outside the hovering car window, and the game came to an end.
Winter scenery was really different.
Although the snow inside Eden Garden had already melted, there were still many places outside where it had not melted away. Everywhere was silver and white, stunningly beautiful.
There were plenty of snacks prepared in the car. The two little cubs ate while looking at the scenery outside, occasionally letting out little cries of amazement, like two tiny sparrows nestled together and chirping at the view.
Although Shen Muhan had grown up on the main planet, because of his powerful spiritual power he had almost never left Eden Garden, so just like Tang Rong, he had never really gone anywhere on the main planet either. He had only seen those places through the optical brain and was full of curiosity toward everything.
And so, the hovering car smoothly arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Hover cars weren’t allowed up the mountain, but cable cars were. So after getting out, the group headed straight for the cable car entrance.
The tickets had already been bought through the optical brain in advance.
The two little cubs were young and small, so their children’s tickets were free.
Hearing for the first time that children’s tickets were free, Tang Rong was deeply shocked. There was no such rule on Garbage Planet. The little miser’s mind immediately sparked with inspiration—while they still hadn’t grown up yet, they should hurry up and go mooch free entry at a lot more fun places together.
Because there were quite a few people, and each cable car had a limit on both number and weight, they had no choice but to split into two groups.
Tang Rong and Shen Muhan, of course, couldn’t be separated. Shen Yuchun, being the only guardian on Shen Muhan’s side, also had to ride in the same car as him.
Tang Qiu thought to herself, great, finally she could be separated from that man.
But in the very next second, her younger brother’s little hand grabbed hers.
“Sister, let’s ride together.”
Meeting the little cub’s beautiful pale green eyes, with both his little hands holding onto her and his body swaying as he acted spoiled so skillfully, Tang Qiu simply couldn’t say no, and could only nod weakly.
And so, Tang Rong, Shen Muhan, Tang Qiu, Shen Yuchun, and Tang Zheng’en got into one cable car. Tang Yao, Lin Fei, the butler, and Tang Hu got into another.
For this outing, Grandpa didn’t come because of his body, and Yun Yuan, who didn’t believe in these things and also didn’t want to show his face in public recently, also stayed behind.
Aside from the floor, the cable car was transparent on all sides, making it easy to enjoy the view in the distance.
Before boarding, a loudspeaker had been broadcasting precautions for people afraid of heights and people with heart conditions.
Tang Zheng’en specifically asked the two little cubs whether they were afraid of heights.
Shen Muhan shook his head. He had ridden aircraft before, and looking down didn’t scare him. In little snow leopard form, he also loved climbing trees, getting way up high and feeling extremely accomplished. Afraid of heights? Impossible.
Tang Rong also shook his head. He thought he probably wasn’t afraid of heights, considering he had taken elevators up to very tall floors before.
But after getting onto the cable car and starting to rise into the air, Tang Rong suddenly clutched his sister’s and Shen Muhan’s hands tightly. At first he had still been curiously looking all around, but little by little he suddenly felt dizzy and faint. He shut his eyes in fear, and his body began to tremble slightly.
The system asked, “[Host, are you afraid of heights?]”
Tang Rong had no energy left to answer. At that moment, his entire mind was packed full of dizzy terror.
Wuwu… it was so high, so scary… what if they fell…
The system quickly comforted him. “[They won’t. This kind of cable car is very, very safe. It’s impossible for it to fall. Don’t overthink it.]”
Tang Rong’s heartbeat and breathing sped up.
Seeing this, Tang Zheng’en directly pulled him into his arms, soothing him while patting his back.
His father’s chest was broad and steady, full of security. Tang Rong buried his little face into it completely, while a warm palm stroked his back again and again.
Before long, a soft little fluffy bundle suddenly wriggled into his arms.
It was Shen Muhan, who had turned into his little snow leopard form.
His cheek was licked once by a small pink tongue, and his wrist was wrapped by a little tail. The warm little bundle curled up against his chest, gradually calming his wildly pounding heart.
Just like that, Tang Rong huddled in his father’s arms and hugged the little snow leopard tightly. He still didn’t dare open his eyes, but he was no longer trembling.
Seeing this, Shen Yuchun finally gathered his courage and stood up, moving to the seat opposite them. Taking advantage of the excuse of helping his cousin in snow leopard form gather his clothes, he sat down beside Tang Qiu, completely giving up the opposite seat for them and making it easier for them to comfort the little cub.
He deliberately folded the clothes very slowly, and since winter outerwear already came in quite a lot of layers, this bought him plenty of time.
He absolutely had to strike while the iron was hot and bravely seize this opportunity!
“Meow-woo, mi, meow.”
Tang Rong kept his eyes tightly shut, feeling the little snow leopard in his arms continually rubbing his face against him, letting out soft little cries to soothe him.
The system said, “[Some people are just naturally afraid of heights. It’s not a big problem. But you could also try to overcome it, if you want.]”
The system continued, “[Didn’t you say you wanted to go to one of those bigger outdoor amusement parks in the future? There’ll be roller coasters and flying bumper cars and other exciting rides there. You’ll have to build up some courage in advance, or you won’t be able to ride them.]”
This sightseeing cable car, aside from being high up, was actually pretty gentle. Its speed was also very slow.
After being comforted for a long while, Tang Rong finally gathered enough courage to open his eyes just a sliver.
His long lashes, like the wings of a little butterfly, trembled nervously.
By now, they had risen much higher than before.
But as the height increased, everything below seemed especially tiny, like a beautiful painting scroll, and the fear in his heart was no longer as strong as it had been just now.
The fluffy long tail suddenly unwound from his wrist and moved straight up to his lips.
“Meow-woo.” The little snow leopard tilted up its little head.
Here—hold its tail in your mouth, and you won’t be so scared.
Feeling the soft, furry touch brushing against his lips, Tang Rong seemed to catch the little snow leopard’s brainwaves. He lightly bit down and held its little tail in his mouth.
