How to raise a random guy's wife

"..."

The friendly replies made Lin Lan blush. "Mom and Dad, can we go again next time?"

“Okay,” Kobayashi Sora naturally agreed. “Aunt Sumire is very good at taking photos. If you have time, you can ask Aunt Sumire for advice and you will get better and better at taking photos.”

"Uh-huh!"

"Alright~" Kobayashi Megumi picked up Kobayashi Ran, "Little photographer, it's time to wash up and go to bed."

After running around all day, Xiaolin Lan quickly fell asleep after washing up.

Kobayashi Sora learned about the results from the person in charge of the shopping spree, and then went to her bedroom early.

Kobayashi Megumi sat leaning against the headboard, flipping through a book on management.

A white satin slip dress wrapped around her body, and with each turn of the book, the sheen of the dress changed.

Seeing Kobayashi Sora enter the bedroom, Kobayashi Megumi raised her hand and put the book aside, causing the delicate straps of her camisole to slip down.

Kobayashi Megumi didn't seem to care, and lifted a corner of the blanket. "Finished talking?"

"Hmm." Kobayashi Sora climbed onto the bed. "Everything is proceeding smoothly according to plan. I just need to do a quick check of the list, and I'll take another look later."

As Kobayashi Sora, who had just crawled into bed, was drawn to Kobayashi Megumi's shoulder, she couldn't help but kiss it.

"Ugh..." Kobayashi Megumi protested as she hooked the suspenders back onto her shoulders.

But the straps are so thin that they don't cover anything.

Kobayashi Sora gave her another kiss.

Realizing that her actions were completely self-deceptive, Kobayashi Megumi puffed out her cheeks, hugged Kobayashi Sora, and opened her mouth, "Awoo~"

I originally wanted to bite him on the shoulder to show him how powerful I was.

But when I got close, I was worried that I would bite him and hurt him, so I had to close my mouth.

chirp~

This is even more lethal than a bite.

Kobayashi Sora embraced Kobayashi Megumi; the satin nightgown felt soft and silky to the touch, carrying the warmth of Kobayashi Megumi's fair skin.

"Wait...wait a minute..." Kobayashi Megumi whispered, "Let go when Ranran is sound asleep~"

"I'll hold you and wait."

The little girl, Megumi, in my arms was soft, warm, and fragrant.

Kobayashi Sora won't let go.

"You~" Kobayashi Megumi nuzzled Kobayashi Sora's nose. "Speaking of which, I didn't expect Lanlan to have so much fun today."

“Yes, I went to many places…” Kobayashi Sora’s voice paused, “I’m sorry.”

"Ok?"

"When you first went to a doujinshi convention, I didn't get a chance to show you around properly." Kobayashi Sora recalled the first time he took Kobayashi Megumi to a doujinshi convention, but at that time he was too busy helping Hashima with his fishing trip.

"Idiot." Kobayashi Megumi leaned against him and gently poked his cheek. "We don't need to go shopping."

"Huh? Why?"

"Because... you're the most fun."

Chapter 871 How Warm

With the New Year approaching, a thorough cleaning is essential.

The Lin family of three worked together to clean inside and out.

Brushing up clumps of cat hair brought out one after another.

Rice cake is already large, and it's a long-haired cat.

On the sofa, on the carpet, in the corners... even though we clean regularly, there are still a lot of hair scattered everywhere.

Xiao Linlan, wearing gloves, and her father wiped the glass, one on the inside and one on the outside.

Although she was supposed to be cleaning windows, Xiaolin Lan was mostly just playing.

Wherever Kobayashi Sora's hand went outside, her little hand inside would follow with a rag. When Kobayashi Sora wiped up the parts she couldn't reach, Kobayashi Megumi would need to help.

After busying herself for a while, Xiao Linlan spotted Nian Gao, who was watching the show with her paws tucked in. "Mommy, Mommy~"

"Ok?"

"Does Nian Gao need to take a bath?"

“So…” Kobayashi Megumi recalled the last time she gave the mochi a bath, “It really is time for it to take a bath.”

Xiaolin Lan raised her little hand, "Lanlan, come help Nian Gao take a bath!"

"Hmm... okay, then I'll leave it to Lanlan."

Xiaolin Lan hugged Nian Gao, "Nian Gao, I'm going to give you a bath~"

Rice Cake: "Meow?"

Kobayashi Megumi told Kobayashi Sora a few words, and together with Kobayashi Ran, they brought the rice cakes into the bathroom.

Ultimately, we still need to keep an eye on things to prevent any mishaps.

At first, the mochi didn't know what was coming its way. It wasn't until Ran Kobayashi put a basin of water in it and Megumi Kobayashi adjusted the temperature, and the two of them looked at the mochi together, that the big cat realized something was wrong.

Even though the big cat doesn't like taking baths, it doesn't react excessively.

"Awoo~~Awoo~~Awoo~~Awoo~~Awoo~~Awoo~~Awoo~~"

The wet rice cake cried out in protest from inside the bathtub.

"Good boy, Nian Gao~" Under her mother's guidance, Xiao Linlan gently sprinkled warm water on Nian Gao's body. "The New Year is coming, so you have to be clean."

"Ow~"

"Don't pour water on the rice cake's head." Kobayashi Megumi stood by and let her daughter do it herself. "The cat doesn't like the feeling of water on its head, and the cat's ears are big, so water can easily get in and make it sick."

"What should we do about Nian Gao's face?"

"Just wipe it with a damp towel." Kobayashi Megumi handed the damp towel to Kobayashi Ran.

"Good girl, rice cake~" Xiaolin Lan awkwardly wiped rice cake's face.

"Awoo~ Awoo~~"

Once the long fur was completely wet, the rice cake visibly shrank.

Ran Kobayashi spread shampoo on the rice cake and kneaded it with her little hands, saying, "So the rice cake isn't actually that fat..."

"Awoo~ Awoo—Meow?"

“Mochi is a skinny cat.” Ran Kobayashi rubbed the foam and, following Megumi Kobayashi’s instructions, started washing from the back, then the tail and limbs, and finally the belly and head.

"Meow~"

The rice cake's protest was clearly just a symbolic formality; it shouted loudly but didn't actually resist at all, and even actively cooperated with Ran Kobayashi's actions.

Otherwise, given the size of the rice cake, it would be too easy for it to break free.

Kobayashi Megumi was prepared to help, but she didn't expect the rice cake to be so cooperative.

Ran Kobayashi carefully rubbed the foamy body of the rice cake, then suddenly sighed, "Taking a bath is so tiring."

Kobayashi Megumi smiled and rolled up her sleeves, ready to help.

Ran looked up at her, "Mommy~"

"Ok?"

"Thank you for taking care of me all this time."

Kobayashi Megumi paused for a moment, then quickly understood her daughter's thoughts.

Giving Nian Gao a bath is tiring, and so is Mom, who bathes herself. Mom, you've worked so hard, thank you.

With her cherry lips slightly pursed, happiness leaped from Kobayashi Megumi's upturned lips to her brows. "Mommy also wants to thank my baby for coming into my life."

Rinse the foam off the cat, wrap it in a towel, gently press to absorb the moisture, rub the water out of its fur, and wipe until the surface of the fur is no longer dripping wet. Place it in a pet drying box and wait until it is completely dry. A brand new cat is born.

Even though she had been bathed by Ran Kobayashi, Nian Gao ran to Ran Kobayashi's side as soon as she left the pet drying box and rubbed against her gently.

"Mmm~" Xiaolin Lan hugged the rice cake, "It smells so good."

"Meow~"

On the other side, Kobayashi Sora had almost finished cleaning her house and was organizing her tools.

Kobayashi Megumi hugged him from behind and leaned against his back.

"what's wrong?"

"It's nothing," Kobayashi Megumi whispered. "It was just now, when Ranran was giving Nian Gao a bath..."

Kobayashi Megumi and Kobayashi Sora shared what had just happened.

She found it hard to describe how she felt when she heard her daughter say those words; the warmth and happiness were beyond words, and she wanted to share it with others.

So he had no choice but to hold Kobayashi Sora in his arms.

Hearing her daughter's words, Kobayashi Megumi felt a warmth in her heart.

How warm is it?

It's so warm.

"I see," Kobayashi Sora put down her tools, turned around and hugged Kobayashi Megumi, looking at Kobayashi Ran who was playing with rice cakes. "Ranran is so sensible. It's all thanks to her mother."

"No..." Kobayashi Megumi tilted her little face up in his arms, "It's all thanks to us."

"I don't think so," Kobayashi Sora blinked. "Because my mom takes care of me too. She usually helps me take a bath."

"Mmm..." Kobayashi Megumi buried her flushed face in Kobayashi Sora's arms, "You bad person~"

Kobayashi Sora also often helps her take a bath.

“Now you can understand how I feel,” Kobayashi Sora said, gently rocking his wife in his arms. “It was just an ordinary, uneventful day, but suddenly I heard something that made me so happy that I wanted to cheer. I didn’t know how to react. I felt like I was filled with happiness.”
