How to raise a random guy's wife

“Hmm…” Kobayashi Megumi paused for a moment.

She suddenly understood how Kobayashi Sora felt about her.

That feeling of having the softest part of your heart touched and moistened.

"Oh, right..." Xiao Linlan thought of a question, "Babies have their own hardships, and big kids have their own hardships. When Lanlan grows up like her parents, will she also have the hardships of an adult?"

Chapter 845 President Lanlan

That's a good question.

The good thing is that it's hard to answer.

The adult world is certainly tough, but is it really necessary to tell Lin Lan, who is still a child?

Kobayashi Sora is quite familiar with the hardships of the adult world, and it is precisely because of this understanding that she is even more at a loss as to how to answer.

"Lanlan is so smart. Babies have their hardships, big kids have theirs, and adults certainly have theirs too." Xiaolin Hui gently brushed her daughter's hair aside, not dismissing her question as a casual remark, but earnestly guiding her, "Lanlan, are you afraid of the hardships ahead?"

"Hmm... I'm a little scared." Xiao Lin Lan wrinkled her nose. "There are already so many hard things to do now. When Lan Lan grows up, the hard things will get even harder."

Kobayashi Sora felt the same way. As expected of her daughter, she was just like she had thought when she was a child.

Seeing the problems at hand will lead to thinking about the problems to come; making preparations for the future will lead to even greater preparations for the future.

“It’s normal for Lanlan to be worried, but…” Kobayashi Megumi picked up her daughter, “Lanlan couldn’t eat ice cream when she was a baby, but now Lanlan is a big girl who can make ice cream.”

"So when Lanlan grows up, she'll become even more amazing, so there's no need to worry about the hardships of the future now." Little Lin Lan looked up at her mother with her adorable face in her arms. "The future may hold unimaginable hardships, but I'll also become even more amazing than I ever imagined!"

Kobayashi Megumi gently nuzzled her daughter's nose. "Ranran is right."

Kobayashi Sora felt much relieved. Fortunately, she was his and Megumi's daughter. Although her thoughts were similar to his, they were not exactly the same.

She inherited his long-term planning mindset, while also possessing Kobayashi Megumi's calm and collected attitude.

“Right now, Lanlan can eat one serving of ice cream,” Xiao Linlan counted on her fingers. “When Lanlan grows up, she can eat two, three… lots of ice cream.”

Xiao Lin Kong Qing: "..."

As expected of Ran Kobayashi, she never forgets her original intention and sticks to her own ideas.

Megumi Kobayashi reminded her, "But Ranran can't eat anymore now. Mom and Dad are going to start cooking soon, and if Ranran eats too much, she won't be able to eat the delicious food."

Xiao Linlan reluctantly put down her spoon, "I really want to grow up quickly!"

"Hmm... although I can't eat too much ice cream," Kobayashi Sora said, taking out a pudding, "I can still have a little bit of orange pudding."

"Orange pudding!" Lin Lan exclaimed happily, "Daddy's awesome!"

"So there's no need to rush to grow up." Kobayashi Sora helped her daughter open the pudding.

Kobayashi Megumi frowned. "Dad?"

"Uh..." Kobayashi Sora gestured, "Just a little bit?"

Kobayashi Megumi gazed longingly at her mother.

"No," Kobayashi Megumi shook her head, "unless..."

Ran Kobayashi saw a glimmer of hope. "Unless what?"

"Unless you give some to Mom."

If three people share one serving of pudding, it won't affect their meal.

To prove that ice cream and pudding wouldn't affect her appetite, Ran Kobayashi deliberately ate a little more.

And then I held on.

"Ugh..." Lying on the sofa, Xiaolin Lan covered her round little belly, "It's so full."

"If Mom hadn't stopped you, you would be feeling even worse right now." Kobayashi Sora rubbed her daughter's stomach to relieve the discomfort. "You can't be so stubborn next time."

“Dad ate a lot too.”

Kobayashi Sora patted her belly, "Because Daddy has a big appetite."

"Oh right... what about Lanlan?"

Kobayashi Sora recalled the books she had read, "You can move around a bit, walk around a couple of times, but you can't jump around."

"Mmm." Xiaolin Lan obediently got up and started walking around the house.

Seeing that she was indeed alright, Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi took the opportunity to handle their work while she was pacing around.

As the year draws to a close, various tasks need to be completed, and there are still some reports and summaries to review.

Kobayashi Megumi flipped through the documents, while Kobayashi Sora sat beside her, organizing the various information she had collected on her computer.

"Mom and Dad~" Lin Lan circled around twice, feeling a bit bored, so she went up to the two of them and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Mom and Dad are working." Kobayashi Sora looked up from the screen. "Do you want Dad to play with building blocks with you?"

"I want to..." Ran Kobayashi answered instinctively, then shook her head, "No!"

Kobayashi Megumi put down the documents. "How about Mommy plays with you?"

"Um...no." Although somewhat tempted, Xiaolin Lan firmly shook her head. "Mom and Dad always played with Lanlan before, but today Lanlan will accompany them to work!"

"Work..." Kobayashi Megumi and Kobayashi Sora exchanged a glance. "Okay then."

"Wait a minute, Lanlan needs to change into her work clothes!" Xiao Linlan ran into the fitting room, rummaged around for a while, and finally came out wearing an apron.

"Hmm..." Kobayashi Sora suppressed a laugh, "Then let's get started."

Xiaolin Lan pushed over a chair and sat down at the table with her parents. "Mom and Dad have their own hardships, right? Let's work together to solve them!"

“Okay.” Kobayashi Megumi replied earnestly, “President Ranran, after our website became popular, many similar websites appeared. What should we do?”

"Huh? Hmm... this..." Ran Kobayashi thought for a while, "What's a website?"

"The website..." Kobayashi Megumi looked at Kobayashi Sora.

"The website is like our completed building block house," Kobayashi Sora explained simply. "Because it's so beautiful, everyone likes it, and some people want to make a building block house that looks just as good as ours."

Ran Kobayashi immediately understood the seriousness of the problem: "Then our block house won't be the prettiest!"

Kobayashi Sora nodded. "Yes, that's why we need to think of something."

"Can we not let other people ride with us?"

“We can’t control other people,” Kobayashi Megumi shook her head. “Other people have their own building blocks too.”

"Then we can only try our best to make our block house look even better." Ran Kobayashi picked up paper and pen. "First like this... then like this..."

Xiaolin Lan happily scribbled and drew, her attention quickly shifting from working with her parents to drawing the best block house.

However, although Kobayashi Ran's idea was naive, it hit the nail on the head.

After achieving some success, both comic book websites and visual novel websites have seen the emergence of imitators.

If you don't want to be surpassed, you can only strive to be the best version of yourself.

This requires...

Chapter 846 Court Hearing

It's that time of year again for white photo albums...

Eriri looked out the window; as Christmas approached, the weather was getting colder.

Since the release of White Album, some fans of the game have called Christmas the season of White Album.

On the one hand, White Album was released at Christmas; on the other hand, some of the game's most heart-wrenching storylines were also set around Christmas.

Many people are looking forward to the release of the final chapter of "White Album" this Christmas. Eriri looked at the half-finished sketch on the computer in front of her and realized that those people would be disappointed this year.

However, releasing it on Valentine's Day feels about the same.

After all, Christmas is almost Valentine's Day now.

With the help of Kobayashi Megumi and Kobayashi Sora, the revision of the plot is progressing rapidly, with only some minor details remaining to be improved.

Eriri's CG drawing was naturally put on the agenda.

Just reading the outline made Eriri feel uncomfortable.

There are just too many heart-wrenching plot points.

Regardless of who you choose, even the relatively simple straight line, players will feel the same inner turmoil as the protagonist Haruki, and a sense of guilt will rise from the bottom of their hearts.

The happier the other characters are, the lonelier the abandoned heroine becomes.

Unlike other visual novels that downplay the genre, White Album focuses on depicting the female protagonist's situation without a male lead.

The more I look at it, the more heartbroken I feel.

If someone tries to achieve a happy ending like Haruki, they will fall into Kasumigaoka Utaha's trap.

Kasumigaoka Utaha deliberately designed many seemingly happy endings, only to kick players into the abyss of despair just when they felt things were going well.

This raises a question in the player's mind:

Why is this so?

This is Xia Shizi's blatant malice.

While the summary is simple, the actual difficulty in the game is exceptionally high.

If a design like this doesn't flow smoothly enough or the plot twists are too abrupt, it will give people a sense of deliberate attempt to cause suffering for the sake of suffering.

Once you have that feeling, it's hard to stay immersed in it.

I simply feel that the screenwriter has psychological problems.

At this moment, Kasumigaoka Utaha's unique stylistic advantages are fully demonstrated.

The same scene, the same view, can be explained from one perspective and is also reasonable from another.

Almost all the plot twists are both unexpected and predictable, and they all correspond to the previous plot.

Eriri recalled the very first "Cherry Tree Promise".

At that time, Kasumigaoka Utaha wrote the game script like a light novel, resulting in a simplistic plot, weak side quests, and no sense of a visual novel.
