How to raise a random guy's wife

"Hmm..." Xiaolin Lan looked at her mother expectantly.

If it were a mother, she would definitely understand.

“Running around will keep you awake,” Kobayashi Megumi said earnestly. “Ranran will be able to fall asleep as soon as she goes back to bed.”

"Oh, I see..." Xiao Linlan looked at her mother, then at her father, then back at her mother, lowered her head and clenched her fingers, looked up at her mother, her pink lips moved slightly, but in the end she chose to turn away.

She took one step, then turned back, her large, somewhat dazed eyes looking at her mother and then at her father. Finding that they didn't seem inclined to speak, she hesitantly took her second step.

If you don't keep me here, I'm leaving.

She left all alone.

It's really time to go...

Kobayashi Sora couldn't hold back any longer and was about to speak when Kobayashi Megumi pinched her.

We were just talking about this a moment ago; we must teach Xiaolin Lan to bravely express her thoughts.

"Meow~" Nian Gao meowed, looking at the aggrieved Xiao Lin Lan, and then at Xiao Lin Kong Qing and Xiao Lin Hui on the bed.

The big cat brushed Xiaolin Lan with its tail, then with a light... heavy leap, it jumped onto the bed.

He squatted on the bed, looking at Xiaolin Lan, and patted the blanket with his paw.

“It seems like Nian Gao wants to sleep with Mommy and Daddy,” Kobayashi Megumi hugged Nian Gao. “Okay then.”

"I...I!" Little Lin Lan clenched her little fists. "Lanlan wants to sleep with Mommy and Daddy too!"

Kobayashi Megumi continued, "So, do you want to be next to Dad or Mom?"

"Mom and Dad!"

"Okay~" Kobayashi Megumi chuckled, "Bring your pillow and sleep between Mom and Dad."

"Mmm!" Xiaolin ran back to her room, then ran back with her pillow, happily plopping onto the bed.

"Come in quickly." Kobayashi Sora lifted the blanket.

Xiaolin Lan carefully placed her small pillow and tucked herself into the blanket. "So warm~ Rice cake, come in too."

"Meow~" Nian Gao meowed and lay outside the blanket.

“Nian Gao is all fluffy,” Kobayashi Sora patted her daughter’s head. “It’s too hot for her to stay in the blankets.”

"Oh, I see..." Xiao Linlan reached out and touched her father, then her mother. "How about we get a little closer?"

"Okay~" Kobayashi Sora moved her body, lay on her side, put her hand on Kobayashi Megumi, and wrapped her arm around Kobayashi Ran.

Kobayashi Megumi bit her lower lip, glared at Kobayashi Sora, and moved his hand to a different position, hugging Lanlan in the same way.

Xiaolin Lan shifted around, found a comfortable position, and closed her eyes contentedly.

This action...

Kobayashi Sora looked at Kobayashi Megumi and thought, "She looks a lot like someone."

"Hmm..." Because she had similar thoughts, Kobayashi Megumi guessed Kobayashi Sora's thoughts when Kobayashi Sora looked over, and her face flushed slightly.

Feeling shy under his gaze, Kobayashi Megumi simply closed her eyes and pretended not to notice.

Holding her adorable daughter in her arms, and standing before her shy mother, Kobayashi Sora's eyes were filled with tenderness.

With a smile on his lips, he was about to close his eyes when he suddenly saw Xiaolin Lan open her eyes wide.

Ran Kobayashi experienced the feeling of the rice cake, "It's really hot!"

Chapter 635 Applying Knowledge

"Daddy's too close~" Xiaolin Lan twisted and turned, creating some distance between herself and Xiaolin Kongqing, "It's just right to hug Mommy."

Kobayashi Sora felt the difference in treatment. "Then hugging Daddy is just right, isn't it?"

"No," Lin Lan shook her head, "It's more comfortable to hug Mom."

“Hmm…you’re right.” Kobayashi Sora agreed wholeheartedly. “Dad thinks so too.”

"You're being silly." Kobayashi Megumi pursed her lips and hugged her daughter. "Alright, alright, if you don't go to sleep now, you won't be able to get up in the morning and won't be able to go to the zoo."

"Zoo~ Zoo~" Ran Kobayashi murmured, her voice growing softer and softer, "Zoo..."

-

"The zoo!" Xiaolin Lan exclaimed as she got off the bus, looking at the zoo in front of her. "We're here! We're here!"

"Lanlan, don't run around." Kobayashi Megumi took her daughter's hand.

Because it was a day off, the zoo was crowded with people, many of whom brought their children.

"Mmm!" Lin Lan patted her little yellow hat and obediently followed her mother.

Kobayashi Sora glanced at the map and memorized it, then bought tickets and led Kobayashi Megumi and Kobayashi Ran into the zoo.

"Wow, it's huge!" The first thing that caught her eye was the leisurely strolling elephant. "It's much bigger than a rice cake!" exclaimed Xiaolin Lan.

The elephant was drawn by Xiaolin Lan's voice and looked over with a calm gaze.

"Look over here!" Xiaolin Lan hid behind her mother, then cautiously peeked out again. "If they eat so much rice cake, the elephant must eat even more, right?"

“That’s right,” Kobayashi Sora replied. “A young elephant can eat about 40 kilograms of food a day, while an adult elephant can eat 100 kilograms of food a day.”

"40 kilograms? 100 kilograms?" Xiaolin Lan counted on her fingers, "That's really a lot! I can't even count them all."

"We'll count them all eventually." After Kobayashi Ran had seen enough, Kobayashi Sora led the way to the Forest of Night.

The cave-like Night Forest is inhabited by nocturnal animals. In the dim light, you can see slow lorises gathering together to eat, and bats lying on the ground munching on oranges. More bats fly around in the air, casting chaotic shadows.

Xiao Linlan was a little scared and quickly pulled her parents away.

Outside the night lodge, nestled among the trees, Ran Kobayashi spotted a Malayan tapir that was half white and half black. "Pig!"

The Malayan tapir, which resembles a pig, turned around, revealing its soft, drooping nose.

Ran looked at it suspiciously, "A baby elephant?"

Kobayashi Megumi looked at the sign on the side, "This is a Malayan tapir. Look closely, what's the difference between it and an elephant?"

"Its nose isn't as long as an elephant's," Xiao Linlan tilted her head. "It's not as big as an elephant's either, and its ears aren't as big as an elephant's."

Little Lin Lan fanned her little hands around her ears, mimicking the large, fan-like ears of an elephant.

"It's sticking its tongue out," Kobayashi Ran said curiously, looking at the Malayan tapir.

The animal, with its rather peculiar appearance, flips up its upper jaw, opens its nostrils wide, revealing neat little white teeth and a pale pink tongue. Its soft nose moves back and forth, making it look somewhat silly and cute.

Xiaolin Hui didn't quite understand, "Dad?"

“This is the lip-opening olfactory response.” Kobayashi Sora pointed to her upper lip. “When rice cakes smell natto, don’t they also open their mouths halfway? Because they can also sense odors in their mouths, so opening their mouths helps them better identify the odors.”

"Wow, amazing~" Ran Kobayashi gasped for breath. "It doesn't have any special taste. It seems like only they can do it."

Continuing forward, we arrived at the forest of gorillas.

Through the glass, you can see chimpanzees leisurely moving back and forth, gripping their cages.

"Can Dad do that too?" Ran turned to look at Sora Kobayashi expectantly. She had seen Sora Kobayashi hanging up while exercising at home.

“It’s not that flexible,” Kobayashi Sora replied.

“But Daddy can cook delicious food, tell stories, and knows so many things, so Daddy is even more amazing,” Xiaolin Lan comforted her. “Don’t be sad.”

"Uh..." Kobayashi Sora wasn't actually sad. "Thank you, baby."

Next to the orangutan forest is a forest inhabited by tigers. You can see large tigers lying by the water, their exaggerated muscle contours clearly visible even when covered by fur.

“A big rice cake.” Ran Kobayashi leaned against the glass. “It’s also… um…” Ran Kobayashi recalled what her mother had said yesterday, “A feline?”

“That’s right.” Kobayashi Megumi confirmed her daughter’s idea. “Tigers, cheetahs, and mochi are all felines.”

"Then the tiger can also..." Xiaolin Lan was only halfway through her sentence when she saw the tiger with its mouth half open, sticking out its tongue, and its lips turning up as well.

“Mom,” a girl who looked two or three years older than Kobayashi Ran gently shook her mother’s hand, her waist-length black hair swaying gently, “the tiger is laughing.”

My mother's hair was also very long, hanging down her back like a waterfall. "That's not a smile."

"Huh?" the little girl asked curiously, "Isn't that right?"

“Yes,” the man beside the mother and daughter spoke up, “Back then, Dad was in the village with Black Panther…”

"Darling?" the elegant mother called softly.

The man seemed to realize something and shut his mouth.

Ran Kobayashi felt that the knowledge she had learned was finally coming in handy, "That's the lip-splitting olfactory response!"

Kobayashi Megumi thought the long-haired girl would be frightened, but to her surprise, the girl blinked and asked boldly when she heard Kobayashi Ran's voice, "It sounds really amazing, what is it?"

“Well… um…” Ran Kobayashi pointed to her mouth, “A cat’s mouth can also smell, so when you open your mouth you can use it together with your nose.”

The long-haired girl looked at the tiger and said, "The cat is so amazing."

"That tapir thing works too!" Ran Kobayashi added.

"You know so much," the long-haired girl said, looking at Xiaolin Lan with surprise. "Did you come to the zoo often before?"

"Grandma took me to another zoo before, and the animals there were a bit different from here," Xiaolin Lan said with a nostalgic look. "I remember there were lots of fish..."

The long-haired girl nodded. "The fish is delicious."

Ran Kobayashi was taken aback. "Huh? Do you want some?"

"Some are edible, some aren't tasty..."

Just as the long-haired girl was about to continue, her mother spoke up, "Du Xiang, have you forgotten something? Your sister just told you some amazing knowledge."

"Oh, right." Du Xiang smiled sweetly, "Thank you, my lovely, pretty, and smart little sister."

"No...you're welcome!" The knowledge she had just learned from her father came in handy, and Xiaolin Lan's bright eyes narrowed into crescents.

Chapter 636 Seemingly True but False

Although both families were traveling together, they took different routes and exchanged a few polite words before heading in different directions.

However, Ran Kobayashi still couldn't forget her older sister with long hair.
