Allergic To Furry Things But Can Pet Them Mentally – CH95

Chapter 95

When Tang Qiu arrived, Yun Jian was braiding the little nine-tailed fox’s tails.

The little cub sat nearby, hugging the little snow leopard, waiting for the fox’s tails to be finished so he could clip on the little hair clips one by one.

Tang Qiu already stammered by nature, but after seeing this scene, she could not force out a complete sentence at all.

What… what was this?

Why had they customized a humanoid robot that looked exactly like Mom?

Was it to keep little brother company?

Was this really a good idea?

And why had even the little fox been won over by this humanoid robot?

She did not like this at all, but she did not know how to put it into words, especially after seeing such a warm and harmonious scene. She did not dare shatter it so lightly.

“Qiuqiu.” Yun Jian stopped what she was doing and looked at her only daughter in delight.

Compared with four years ago, when she had still been in university, the immaturity had faded away. She had become a grown young woman. It was a pity that she had not been able to attend her graduation ceremony.

Tang Qiu did not move.

Even the humanoid robot’s voice was exactly the same as the mother she remembered.

It was made too perfectly. She could not pick out a single flaw.

But she knew that artificial intelligence could never replace a human. The more lifelike it was, the angrier she felt. On what grounds could a robot so casually take her mother’s place?

Tang Qiu’s gaze immediately fell on Tang Zheng’en, who was sitting nearby. Her eyes were already brimming with anger, and she was so furious that she did not even stammer when she spoke. “If you intend to keep using this robot, then I’ll move out and live somewhere else.”

Everyone looked at her in shock.

Tang Rong cried out, “Sis, you’re not stammering anymore!”

Only then did Tang Qiu realize something herself. She pursed her lips, a little startled by how fluently she had spoken just now, but her expression did not soften in the slightest.

When people’s emotions are running high, they really can suddenly tap into unexpected potential. Someone who normally speaks smoothly may start stammering, while someone who stammers may suddenly speak normally. That was not strange.

Yun Jian immediately set the little nine-tailed fox aside, stood up, and walked over to her daughter, pulling her into an embrace.

“Qiuqiu, it really is Mom. I’m not a robot.”

Tang Qiu’s whole body went stiff, reason and clarity wrestling inside her.

The tone, the movements, the body temperature—everything felt so real.

So this was why the little nine-tailed fox had surrendered too… How could anyone possibly resist this…

Tang Qiu closed her eyes. Just as she was about to open them again and push the “robot” away, a small screen suddenly lit up on her wrist computer.

At the same time, a voice sounded from it: “Mom loves you very much.”

Tang Qiu froze completely.

Her mother had set this up for her when she was very young. Her wrist computer would trigger different voice messages through actions like hugging, holding hands, or kissing with a designated person, all to encourage and train her.

Besides Mom, Dad had once been one of those designated people too. Later, when she got older, she paused the ones linked to her father, keeping only the ones linked to her mother.

The wrist computer could identify both her mother’s wrist computer and her mother herself. If it were only a humanoid robot wearing her mother’s light-brain ring, it would not have been recognized.

Tang Qiu’s eyes instantly turned red. She slowly rested her chin on her mother’s shoulder. “What… what is going on?”

“Mom will explain it to you slowly.”

…

When Yun Yuan received his brother-in-law’s message, he was in the middle of trying on a new dress he had just received.

Because the other side sounded so urgently panicked, and because Little Rong had mysteriously vanished for three days recently—no matter how Yun Yuan asked, they would only tell him not to worry, that it was nothing serious—he did not even have time to change clothes before hurrying over.

When Yun Yuan arrived, Yun Jian was just finishing the last of the little nine-tailed fox’s tails.

The white little bird was perched on the fox’s head, having built a little nest up there again. It was watching the tail-braiding up close, occasionally using its beak to help pick up a tuft of fur, chirping away as it chatted with her through the light-brain.

Tang Rong was hugging the little snow leopard, holding little clips in his hand. The tip of the snow leopard’s tail had a tiny pale-blue butterfly clip fastened to it.

He counted them in confusion. “One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. Huh? Didn’t Big Brother Hu have nine tails? Which one broke off?”

Everyone burst out laughing.

The little cub, who had been kept in the dark, finally realized something was wrong. His eyes rounded, cheeks puffing up. “You tricked me again.”

Yun Jian hurriedly soothed him, kissing his puffed cheek. “Oh, Mom was only teasing Baby because Baby is so cute. Don’t be mad at Mom, okay?”

Tang Rong instantly had no negative emotions left at all.

Mom thought he was cute!

Yun Jian could not resist kissing his little cheeks several more times.

Yun Yuan stood frozen in the doorway, skirt in hand.

He must have opened the door wrong.

With a bang, Yun Yuan shut the door. A few seconds later, he gathered his courage and opened it again.

Very good—still the exact same scene as before, without the slightest change.

Bang—door shut. Opened again.

After repeating this several times, Yun Yuan finally ran out of strength and tricks, forced to accept the reality in front of him.

Yun Jian looked at him with a smile. Seeing that he had finally stopped opening and closing the door, she said, “Xiao Yuan, that dress is beautiful. It suits you very well.”

Yun Yuan took a deep breath and finally could not hold back any longer. He rushed over and threw himself into her arms.

“Sis…”

He did not think about anything at all.

No matter whether this was a humanoid robot or not, he wanted to hold her—as if by doing so, he could really be holding his sister again.

Many humanoid robots and dolls exist to give the living something to hold onto, a reason to keep going. He did not think there was anything wrong with that.

After recovering a bit in his sister’s arms, Yun Yuan blinked away the sting in his eyes, straightened up, and looked her over carefully.

A few seconds later, his gaze shifted to Tang Zheng’en, who was sitting nearby. He said, “Brother-in-law, that outfit on Sis isn’t very flattering. Let me change her into something better.”

Tang Zheng’en: “…?”

Change his wife’s clothes? In his dreams.

…

By the time Tang Yao rushed back, all nine of the little fox’s tails had already been braided and clipped with little clips of different colors and shapes.

The white little bird sat on the fox’s head, its trimmed tail feathers sticking up proudly.

Just a second earlier, a complaint about its big straight-man brother Tang Yao had been floating on the light-brain screen above its head. But the instant the door opened, the screen vanished, and it let out a guilty little chirp.

Yun Jian was braiding Yun Yuan’s hair to match the dress he was wearing. At the same time, she was chatting with the little bird and listening to it report all sorts of grievances about the big straight-man brother.

Yun Yuan had already learned that his sister was not a humanoid robot but the real person, and because of that earlier comment about “changing clothes,” he did not quite dare look at his brother-in-law.

Tang Rong was hugging the little snow leopard. He also wanted to imitate his mother and braid the little snow leopard’s fur, but the fur was too short and could not be braided.

Lin Fei had not come back with Tang Yao because of work and would probably arrive later.

Hearing the door open, Yun Jian looked up with a smile at the newcomer. Thinking of the “prank plan” she had just discussed with the little bird, she said, “I am humanoid robot serial number 7327104, named ‘Mom.’ Tang Yao, it is a pleasure to serve you.”

Tang Yao: “…?”

Frowning, Tang Yao strode forward and said to her, “Power off.”

Yun Jian obediently closed her eyes and leaned limply back against the sofa.

Tang Yao directly scooped her up in his arms, turned around, and made to throw her out the window.

Everyone: “!!!”
