Allergic To Furry Things But Can Pet Them Mentally – CH97

Chapter 97

The moment Han Zhi saw Yun Jian, she could no longer hold back her tears.

Even though they had already spoken over a video call on the light-brain the night before, seeing her in person was far more overwhelming than seeing her through a screen.

Yun Jian immediately stepped forward and gave her a hug.

Even a simple reunion after four years apart would have been enough to move anyone, let alone a reunion after life and death had parted them.

The adults had adult things to say.

So they went together into the empty room next door.

Tang Rong untied the little blanket wrapped around the little snow leopard and continued playing with it.

The little snow leopard was not really focused. It looked distracted, clearly with something on its mind.

At last, Dad and Mom finally came back.

The little snow leopard immediately stuck to them, mewing softly as it was scooped up into their arms.

“It’s probably missed you two too much. How about you take it back home for a few days?” Yun Jian suggested.

After all, it was still just a little cub. Although it had Little Rong with it every day and was not lonely, the roles of father and mother could not be absent.

The couple also felt that now that Yun Jian had just woken up, their son staying here all the time might affect their family reunion a little, so they brought the little snow leopard back with them.

As soon as they got into the hovercar, the little snow leopard lifted its tail, and a light-brain screen floated above its head: “Did you talk to Little Rong’s mom about the child betrothal?”

The two of them: “?”

What child betrothal?

Seeing their reaction, the little snow leopard’s tail drooped in disappointment.

After asking carefully, the two finally understood the whole story and could not help laughing.

The things they had brought were simply gifts for Teacher Yun Jian, not any kind of “engagement gifts.”

A child betrothal was no more than a joke among adults. Who would really tie two children together at such a young age and restrict how they grew in the future?

Who could say for certain what would happen once they grew up?

If someone could not even be absolutely sure who their life partner would be at twenty-four, how could that be decided once and for all at four?

Han Zhi gathered the little snow leopard into her arms and smoothed its fur, speaking earnestly. “If you really like Little Rong, then wait until you grow up and chase him yourself. If you like someone, you have to win them over on your own.”

Shen Chuanqiong added, “Mom and Dad can create opportunities for you, but we can’t arrange a marriage for you.”

“Miiwu.” The little snow leopard nodded vaguely, half understanding, half not.

…

That very night, Han Zhi shared the whole thing with Yun Jian.

Yun Jian had not expected that one casual remark she made over the phone that day would plant such a little budding seed in the child’s heart.

“I’ll definitely be more careful in the future and stop joking around so casually.”

“It’s fine, it’s fine. This just happened to give us a chance to teach him a little. Besides… it’s obvious he really, really likes Little Rong. Maybe it’ll actually work out someday.” Han Zhi did her best to fight for a chance on behalf of her son.

Yun Jian also said, “Little Rong likes him a lot too.”

That much had already been obvious to her in the short time since she woke up.

It was just impossible to tell what that friendship would become in the future.

Yun Jian said, “I’m very optimistic about the two of them.”

If possible, she really did hope the two children would end up together when they were grown. In her eyes, they suited each other very well.

But in the end, it would still depend on the children’s own choices.

“Mom.” The sound of little feet pattering over came closer and closer.

“Oh, I’ll stop here for now. Little Rong came looking for me.” Yun Jian’s face carried a happy smile.

She had heard “Mom” countless times over the past few days, yet she still could not get enough of it.

“Alright.”

After hanging up the call, Han Zhi looked toward a certain little snow leopard curled up just outside the range of the camera.

“So then, are you satisfied with what your future mother-in-law said, Your Little Highness?”

“…Meow.”

What future mother-in-law?!

The little snow leopard was so embarrassed that its tail curled up, and it left the room without even looking back, deciding it would ignore its unserious mother for the rest of the night.

…

Because Yun Jian had returned, Yun Yuan immediately dumped all his responsibilities, threw the task of teaching Tang Rong how to use his healing ability onto his more capable sister, and decided that once the events from four years ago were fully cleared up, he would go back to his wandering life traveling among the stars.

Yun Jian did not rush to teach Tang Rong healing skills too quickly. The amount of practice she gave him every day was not much.

In her view, the most important thing for a four-year-old child was still to have a happy childhood.

Because she herself had never had one, she did not want her child to be like her, spending his whole childhood drowned in endless dry, monotonous studying.

Besides, play itself could teach many things.

When she heard that Tang Rong liked pumpkin buns, she bought pumpkin seedlings and planted them in the courtyard with the two children.

From that day on, the first thing Tang Rong and the little snow leopard did every morning after waking up was go check on the pumpkin seedlings in the little yard. They even seriously searched up lots of planting knowledge on the light-brain and took excellent care of the seedlings.

Once the pumpkins grew, they could make pumpkin buns out of them.

When she heard that Tang Rong loved taking photos to record his life, she bought him a large photo album and a photo printer.

Tang Rong spent a whole evening carefully selecting photos he had taken before and printed them out one by one. Then she brought him colored pens and asked him to write on the back of each photo what had happened and how he had felt at the time.

It was a huge project. It took nearly a full week to finish, and because of it Tang Rong learned many new characters and also became much more comfortable with sentence structure.

When she heard that Tang Rong loved fluffy little animals but was allergic to ordinary animals, Yun Jian specially dressed him in protective clothing and took him and the little snow leopard to the zoo together.

The animals in the zoo all lived in their own ecological areas, so there was no way to casually touch them anyway. They could only look from afar, but it was still very interesting.

Because he was wearing protective gear, Tang Rong could still interact with some gentle-tempered little animals, such as feeding red pandas. Although he could not touch them with his skin, he was still very satisfied.

When they took the park cable car past the snow leopard exhibit, Tang Rong proudly held the little snow leopard high in his arms, making all the other children in the car so jealous they could hardly stand it.

After a whole day out, Tang Rong had learned about many new animals, understood many of their habits, and even used his own little wallet to buy several snow leopard ear headbands that squeaked when squeezed.

That evening after they got home, Tang Rong immediately put one of the squeaky snow leopard ear headbands onto Shen Muhan after he changed back into human form, then kept squeezing it for a long time.

…

Before Yun Jian appeared, everyone had felt Tang Rong was already being taken care of very well.

Only after Yun Jian returned did they realize there were still so many ways things could have been done even better.

Luckily, she had come back.

…

Tang Yao and Lin Fei’s wedding was set for the fifteenth of next month.

This month, Tang Rong could clearly feel that everyone in the family had become much busier.

It was not only because of Big Brother and Sister-in-law’s wedding, but also because there had been new progress in the attack from four years ago.

Tang Rong did not really understand all the twists and turns involved. He was too young, and the family had no intention of telling him these things anyway.

He only needed to grow up slowly, happily, and without worries.

But the system picked up on a few scattered clues and, after thinking about it, decided to tell its host a little. It felt he had a small right to know: [One of the masterminds behind the accident four years ago was your grandfather. He has already been brought to justice and sentenced to death.]

It did not dare say too much.

In truth, the old man’s crimes went far beyond just that. He had also secretly carried out illegal human experiments behind the scenes. In pursuit of his so-called healer bloodline, he had become completely insane.

The other members of the Yun family who had participated in the conspiracy were also brought to justice, including Yun Qi’s parents.

Yun Qi was still young. Although he had been raised in such a crooked environment and had turned out a little crooked himself, there was still a chance to set him right.

Yun Jian found a foster family for him, hoping that in a new environment he could grow up properly.

This time, the Yun family was truly finished.

A family that had become so twisted really had no need to continue any further.

After hearing this, Tang Rong felt both angry and sad—angry at his grandfather, and sad for his mother.

That man had been Mom’s own biological father. How could he treat his own daughter like that?

Mom must have been so heartbroken.

Anxiously, Tang Rong bit down on the little snow leopard’s tail and started searching on his light-brain for “ways to cheer Mom up.”

…

Elsewhere, at the central court on the main planet, Yun Jian suddenly received a message from someone marked as a special concern.

She immediately opened her light-brain to check it, worried that it might be something urgent.

Little Treasure: [I just ate a pear. Guess what kind of pear? Mom is in my heart-pear.]

Little Treasure: [This is mashed potato, this is fruit puree, and this is Mom, I miss puree.]

Little Treasure: [There are only three kinds of people in this world: men, women, and Mom’s beauty and charm.]

Yun Jian: “?”

The heaviness that had been lingering in Yun Jian’s mood vanished at once, leaving her caught between laughter and tears.

Where on earth had her little treasure learned such cheesy pickup lines?
