How to raise a random guy's wife

The final result...

Just look at Eriri and you'll understand.

This was a concern that Kobayashi Sora had had for a long time.

But understanding is one thing, doing it is another.

Even the rational Kobayashi Sora would habitually indulge her daughter's desires when she was with her.

Kobayashi Megumi called softly, "Ranran?"

"Hmm?" Xiaolin Lan immediately turned to look at her mother, her face full of expectation, "What's wrong~"

"Want some ice cream?"

Ran Kobayashi blinked, "Hmm...uh..."

She did want it, but she also wanted other things.

If there's nothing else, ice cream is a good option.

But when I think about not getting what I want, even eating ice cream won't make me feel particularly happy.

In other words, the ice cream we're eating now is the kind of ice cream that won't make us happy.

The ice cream doesn't taste good anymore...

It doesn't taste good anymore...

"Waaah..." Xiaolin Lan hugged the rice cake, her lips trembling, tears welling in her eyes, "Waaah... the ice cream... doesn't taste good anymore..."

"Huh?" Even Kobayashi Megumi was stunned for a moment when faced with such a sudden turn of events. After figuring out the logic behind it based on her understanding of her daughter, she felt a little dumbfounded.

Kobayashi Sora immediately hugged her daughter and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Um...it's...that..." Kobayashi Ran sniffed, "Do you understand?"

Kobayashi Sora: "..." This is a bit too difficult.

Seeing the confusion on her father's face, Lin Lan became even more heartbroken, "Waaah..."

"If only Daddy could understand crying~" Kobayashi Megumi patted her daughter's head, "That way, Lanlan wouldn't have to say anything and Daddy would understand."

"Um...that..." Kobayashi Ran hugged Kobayashi Sora's neck, "I...I want to eat ice cream..."

Kobayashi Sora gently patted her daughter's back, "Then Daddy will get it for you."

"I...I also want a bicycle."

"Then let's go buy it."

Ran Kobayashi put her hand on Sora Kobayashi's shoulder. "Is it okay?"

“Of course,” Kobayashi Sora replied with a smile. “You’re old enough to learn to ride a bike, and cycling is a great form of exercise.”

Kobayashi Megumi added softly, "But you might fall while riding a bike, are you afraid, Ranran?"

Ran Kobayashi immediately replied, "I'm not afraid!"

Kobayashi Sora gently tapped her daughter's nose, "Even if you're not afraid, you still need to be careful."

"Hmm..." Xiao Linlan thought of something, "Dad, if I don't cry, will you buy it for me?"

“Yes,” Kobayashi Sora chuckled. “If it’s something you want, just tell Daddy, and Daddy will give it to you.”

"I want two ice creams."

Kobayashi Sora: "That won't do."

"Then I want Mommy to hold me."

Megumi Kobayashi picked up Ran Kobayashi and said, "This one is fine."

Xiao Lin Kong Qing: "..."

"Eh..." Kobayashi Sora looked disappointed. "Don't you like Daddy anymore?"

"Hmm..." Kobayashi Ran put her finger to her lips, "I don't like it that much anymore."

Kobayashi Sora was only joking when she asked, "You really don't like it anymore? Why?"

"Because Dad doesn't understand Lanlan anymore..." Xiao Linlan said, feeling wronged. "Before, Lanlan didn't need to say anything for Dad to understand."

Kobayashi Sora protested, "Isn't Mom the same?"

“Mom is different,” Xiaolin Lan shook her head, “Mom suggested the great idea of ​​eating ice cream.”

"But..." Kobayashi Sora said earnestly, "You have to be brave enough to speak your mind so that others can understand. Does that mean that when Lanlan grows up, she will also have to hide her thoughts when interacting with others and wait for them to guess them?"

"Of course not." Xiaolin Lan looked at Xiaolin Kongqing strangely. "Others are others, and parents are parents. Others don't love me as much as my parents do, so why would they try to guess what Lanlan is thinking?"

Kobayashi Sora was taken aback, and as her eyes flickered, they met Kobayashi Megumi's gaze.

The two looked at each other, then smiled together.

Both they themselves, as well as the Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri they know, have largely inherited some of their parents' personalities and habits.

Therefore, Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi naturally assumed that Kobayashi Ran would be a combination of their personalities.

Just as she worries about the problems she might encounter growing up, Ran Kobayashi will also face similar concerns.

Kobayashi Ran's words just now made the two of them realize that Kobayashi Ran was a seedling that sprouted from their love.

She will inherit a part of them, and she will also have a part that belongs to her.

Kobayashi Ran doesn't know much, but she has her own logic.

She will be influenced by the personalities of Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi, but she will also have her own personality.

She will learn from the behavioral patterns of Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi, and she will also develop her own habits and way of thinking.

And in this process, it's just like learning to ride a bicycle.

As parents, Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi worry about Kobayashi Ran's safety, but they also trust in her own efforts.

"I'm sorry, Lanlan," Xiaolin Kongqing confessed earnestly. "Dad just found out you wanted a bicycle, and he pretended not to understand so you could express your thoughts more directly."

"Hmm..." Xiaolin Lan hugged her mother, "Then why don't you just tell me directly that you want me to bravely express my thoughts?"

good question.

So good that Kobayashi Sora didn't know how to respond.

The principles I wanted to teach my child, I failed to practice myself.

"You're right. From now on, Dad should express his thoughts more directly." Kobayashi Sora felt not defeat, but a sense of satisfaction, even though he had intended to educate his daughter.

It is not a one-sided control and giving, but a relationship and interaction between the two parties.

While he was helping Ran Kobayashi grow, Ran Kobayashi also helped him grow even more.

Just as Kobayashi Sora made changes for Kobayashi Megumi, Kobayashi Megumi was also making changes for him.

Both the process and the result are a source of happiness and enjoyment.

"Hmm... I think I should say it's okay now..." Kobayashi Ran pouted, "But Ranran doesn't want to say it."

Kobayashi Megumi asked curiously, "Why?"

Xiaolin Lan muttered, "Because Lanlan still feels wronged..."

Kobayashi Sora chuckled, "Then what efforts should Daddy make to cheer Lanlan up?"

Ran Kobayashi tilted her head and pointed to her cheek, "I need a kiss."

"Mua~" Kobayashi Sora kissed her daughter on the cheek. "Are you happy?"

Ran Kobayashi turned her head to one side, "I'm half happy."

Kobayashi Sora understood and kissed him on the other side as well, "And now?"

Ran Kobayashi laughed, "Now the ice cream is happy ice cream!"

"You~" Kobayashi Megumi rubbed her daughter's nose, "How about we go buy a bicycle after we finish our ice cream?"

"Okay~" Lin Lan replied happily, "I want to eat while sitting in Daddy's lap."

Kobayashi Sora nodded, "I feel like this will make the ice cream even more delicious."

Ran Kobayashi proudly raised her chin, "Right~"

After a fun and delicious ice cream session, the family of three went to the place Kobayashi Sora had chosen to buy bicycles.

"Welcome," the shop manager, who looked very professional, greeted us proactively. "Welcome to Sakata Bicycle Shop, where we provide friendly and reassuring after-sales service with integrity. Excuse me... you!"

Kobayashi Sora's smile remained as natural as ever.

Kobayashi Megumi asked curiously, "You two know each other?"

“My classmate from Nagoya,” Kobayashi Sora replied. “It’s been so long since we last met. I’m really touched that you still remember our brief friendship.”

"What short-lived friendship? You..." Manager Sakata suddenly noticed Ran Kobayashi hiding behind Sora Kobayashi. "Is this your daughter? Are you married?"

“Yes,” Kobayashi Sora replied, “Ranran, this is Dad’s old classmate.”

"Hello..." Xiaolin Lan usually only interacts with familiar people, so she was naturally a little scared when she encountered a stranger. "Bicycles are awesome!"

“That’s right!” Sakata wholeheartedly agreed. “You have excellent taste too!”

Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi had already discussed it on the way: "I came here today to buy three bicycles, one for her, one for us, and one folding bicycle."

Otherwise, it would be difficult for Kobayashi Ran to catch up with Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi if they rode their bicycles.

Sakata led the way, saying, "The child should be a little inside."

Kobayashi Sora glanced at them. Although she didn't know much about bicycles, she could still recognize a few expensive ones based on her scattered memories.

"Wow!" Xiaolin Lan noticed many bicycles that were significantly smaller than the ones she had just seen. "Are these all designed for children?"

"Hmm," Kobayashi Sora replied, "Which one does Lanlan like?"

"Hmm..." Xiaolin Lan was overwhelmed by the choices. "Lanlan, can you take a little longer to choose?"

"of course."
