How to raise a random guy's wife

On the cake, Kobayashi Megumi's face is shown with a gentle and happy smile, while Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Ran's profiles are on the left and right, respectively, with the father and daughters kissing their mother's cheek with upturned lips.

It was decorated with pink petals, and below it was written "Happy Birthday, Mom".

“Thank you, baby,” Kobayashi Megumi said, her eyes sparkling as she leaned down to kiss her daughter’s cheek. “This is the best birthday cake Mommy has ever seen.”

Ran Kobayashi's eyes sparkled as she looked at Sora Kobayashi with delight.

Dad is right.

Love can make imperfections perfect.

"Daddy and Lanlan made this together." Xiaolin Lan pointed to Xiaolin Kongqing, "Daddy, give me a kiss too!"

"Okay~" Kobayashi Megumi supported Kobayashi Sora's shoulders and stood on tiptoe.

Kobayashi Sora also bent down in agreement.

Then, just as Kobayashi Megumi was about to kiss his cheek, she turned her head away.

chirp~

Under their daughter's gaze, the couple's lips gently touched.

"Hmm..." Kobayashi Megumi lowered her eyelids slightly, subconsciously wanting to take things further, but then remembered that her daughter was still watching, so she gently pinched him with her hand, pulled away, and complained happily, "You're being indecent."

Kobayashi Sora smiled smugly, having succeeded, and happily served the dishes from the kitchen to the table.

Ran helped her mother put on the birthday crown, saying, "Mom looks like a princess!"

Kobayashi Megumi gently tapped her daughter's nose, saying, "Lanlan is Mommy and Daddy's little princess."

"Huh?" Xiaolin Lan tilted her head. "Where's Mom?"

Kobayashi Sora spoke up, "The princess's mother... that's the queen."

"Queen!" exclaimed Xiaolin Lan, "So amazing!"

In Ran Kobayashi's mind, queens are always beautiful and elegant figures.

Wearing a crown, Kobayashi Megumi sat in front of the cake, watching Kobayashi Sora light the candles.

The lights inside were turned off, and the warm candlelight illuminated the family of three and the curious Nian Gao.

Megumi Kobayashi closed her eyes and made her birthday wish.

hope......

What do you hope for?

Megumi Kobayashi has so many hopes.

For a moment, I didn't know what wish to make.

That's just like Lanlan.

I hope my wishes will come true.

I want Lanlan to be happy every day, I want Kongqing to be joyful every day, and I want every day, every minute, every second from now on to be filled with happiness and beauty.

"Whoosh~" Kobayashi Megumi opened her eyes and blew out the candle.

After a brief period of darkness, the lights came on.

Xiaolin Ran asked curiously, "What did Mom wish for?"

"Hmm..." Kobayashi Megumi tilted her head, "Ranran, guess?"

Ran Kobayashi pondered seriously, "I feel like there are so many..." Suddenly, her eyes lit up, "Could it be... wish fulfillment?"

Kobayashi Megumi nodded. "Lanlan and her mother are on the same wavelength."

Kobayashi Sora's skills were as good as ever. Perhaps because she participated in the making, Kobayashi Ran felt that today's cake tasted especially delicious.

After eating the cake, the family of three snuggled up on the sofa and played games together.

Happy times always pass too quickly. Xiaolin Lan started to yawn, and her originally bright eyes gradually became hazy.

After washing up with her parents' help, Xiaolin Lan returned to her room and quickly fell asleep.

For Ran Kobayashi, a fulfilling and happy day has officially come to an end.

For Kobayashi Megumi and Kobayashi Sora, it seemed like everything was just beginning.

Besides being my birthday, today has another important meaning.

The couple's seventh wedding anniversary.

Kobayashi Sora handed the gift box to Kobayashi Megumi, saying, "This is a wedding anniversary gift."

"A scarf?" Kobayashi Megumi opened the gift box, feeling the texture of the cherry-red scarf with her fingertips. "Did you knit this?"

“This is the best one,” Kobayashi Sora remarked. “It looks easy, but when you actually start doing it, all sorts of problems always arise.”

Stroking the scarf, Kobayashi Megumi felt as if she could see Kobayashi Sora's earnest expression as she knitted it. "I also prepared a gift for you."

With a slight blush, Kobayashi Megumi shyly handed the gift box to Kobayashi Sora, saying, "Don't laugh at me."

"This is..." Kobayashi Sora opened the gift box and saw something inside with a white cover that looked like a book. "A notebook?"

"Um..." Kobayashi Megumi answered softly, "I...I drew it..."

"Huh?!" Kobayashi Sora was genuinely surprised, and even more so after opening the notebook.

Megumi Kobayashi started learning to paint when she was pregnant with Ran Kobayashi, to help her adjust her mood, and she learned from Eriri.

Kobayashi Sora didn't expect that, without realizing it, Kobayashi Megumi had already drawn so well.

It's not in the style of Eriri's illustrations, but rather in a fresh and cute line drawing style.

The most important thing is the content.

Kobayashi Sora, working at her computer; Kobayashi Sora, gently poking Kobayashi Megumi's back; Kobayashi Sora, holding Kobayashi Megumi in her arms in the mall; Kobayashi Sora, embracing Kobayashi Megumi in bed...

Everything that had happened in the past was transformed into cute line drawings by Kobayashi Megumi and presented to Kobayashi Sora.

The first kiss at the doorstep, the embrace in the bathtub, registering our marriage together, and that silly day...

"You..." Kobayashi Megumi pressed down on Kobayashi Sora's hand as she turned the page, feeling embarrassed and awkward seeing Sora looking at her painting. "You're just looking at it secretly..."

I wish I hadn't drawn those scenes.

Well......

Chapter 809 The Seven-Year Itch

But... these are things that even Kobayashi Megumi can't control.

Once I had the idea to start writing, I wanted to put it into action.

As she actually began drawing, Kobayashi Megumi gradually came to understand Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri's thoughts.

The ideas belong to the creator.

Those past scenes kept surfacing in my mind, flowing out from the tip of my pen and transforming into lovely drawings.

I painted our first meeting amidst cherry blossoms, so I wanted to paint a picnic under the cherry trees; I painted a scene of playing games together, so I wanted to paint a scene of watching a movie together; I painted the sweetness of our first kiss, so I wanted to paint our first...

"You even drew this~" The past flipped through the pages before her eyes, and warm memories surfaced in her heart, causing an uncontrollable love to leap from Kobayashi Sora's upturned lips to her eyebrows.

"Don't tell!" Kobayashi Megumi covered Kobayashi Sora's mouth in embarrassment and anger. "You bad boy..."

She had already drawn it, but wouldn't let Kobayashi Sora say it out loud.

Kobayashi Sora loves this adorable yet domineering side.

Things you're not allowed to say...

Kobayashi Sora placed the notebook on the bedside table, deciding to convey her feelings in another way.

Reaching out to grasp Kobayashi Megumi's slender waist, Kobayashi Sora whispered in her ear, "I love your gift so much... I really love it..."

"Hmm..." Kobayashi Megumi bit her lower lip lightly, "How much do you like it?"

So many...

......

Her messy hair, damp with sweat, clung to Kobayashi Megumi's face, creating a stark contrast with her fair skin. Kobayashi Megumi's cheeks were flushed, and there was a thin layer of fragrant sweat on the tip of her nose. Her watery eyes gave Kobayashi Sora a reproachful look, and she pinched him again, still not satisfied. "Is this how you treat the Queen?"

They were just saying the princess's mother was the queen, but as soon as the princess fell asleep, the queen was bullied.

"It was my fault," Kobayashi Sora said, gently kissing Kobayashi Megumi's soft little hand. "Your Majesty, what should I do to make up for the mistake I made?"

“Hmm…” Kobayashi Kei blinked her big, watery eyes, “You must submit to me.”

"Submission?"

Kobayashi Megumi helped Kobayashi Sora sit up, her slender fingers tucking her slightly damp hair behind her ear, revealing her fair earlobe. Her bright eyes looked down at Kobayashi Sora with a queenly desire of conquest. "Like... this~"

......

Holding Kobayashi Megumi in his arms, Kobayashi Sora gently tidied her messy hair. Having witnessed Her Majesty the Queen's conquests, Kobayashi Sora's love for her deepened even further.

Kobayashi Megumi gently held his finger in her mouth, her affectionate eyes slightly turned upwards as she gazed at his face. "Seven years have passed without me even realizing it."

Kobayashi Sora gently caressed his wife's lips, planting a deep kiss upon them. "Looking at your paintings made me realize how much we've already done together..."

Kobayashi Megumi grabbed Kobayashi Sora's hand, her face flushed, "You bad boy, don't tell..."

"Huh?" Kobayashi Sora was taken aback for a moment, then realized what she meant. "I meant doing so many things... no..."

Kobayashi Megumi's face turned even redder. "Don't even think about it!"

I wasn't allowed to say it before, and now I can't even think about it.

However, thoughts are not as easy to control as the mouth. To stop thoughts from wandering, you have to change the topic and focus.

Kobayashi Megumi also thought of this, "Have you ever heard of the seven-year itch?"

"This one..." Kobayashi Sora searched her memory.

Some say that the cells in the human body are constantly dying and renewing, and that all cells are renewed every seven years. Similarly, love will enter a dangerous period after seven years.

Of course, this statement is incorrect. Human cell replacement is a normal metabolic phenomenon, and human brain cells and important parts such as the spine do not replace cells.

However, the prevalence of this saying reflects the common phenomenon that people in love or marriage may feel bored and dull after seven years due to the mundane routine of life.
