   Ever since Lan Wanqing learned the truth, everyone dropped the pretense. Xuanxuan and Tiantian spent all their time transforming into bears and roaming around the house, and Nan Xuanjue would often transform into a bear to interact with them. Even the two month-old brown bear cubs could crawl around everywhere. Lan Wanqing felt like a human who had mistakenly wandered into a zoo; she always felt somewhat out of place in this home. That evening, Lan Wanqing gave the two brown bear cubs a bath and was drying their fur with a hairdryer when Xuanxuan and Tiantian sat in front of her, also asking her to dry their fur with the hairdryer. So, the bears lined up, waiting to watch Lan Wanqing dry their fur. At the end of the line sat a huge brown bear, clearly waiting for Lan Wanqing to dry his fur, just like the children. "Nan Xuanjue, you're such a big guy, do you really have to turn into a brown bear for a bath? Besides, can't you dry yourself?" Lan Wanqing looked at the line of brown bears and felt a headache coming on. She was a biologist, that's true, but biologists study animals, not blow-dry a bunch of animals' fur every day. "No, I want my wife to blow-dry me." Nan Xuanjue was very determined. Lan Wanqing couldn't do anything about him. After drying the four brown bear cubs one by one, it was finally Nan Xuanjue's turn. Lan Wanqing reached out to touch Nan Xuanjue's body. His fur was almost air-dried from waiting so long. "Just keep messing around with them. Be careful not to catch a cold while you're all wet." Lan Wanqing gently scolded. "I like you blowing my fur. My fur feels so nice to touch." It wasn't for nothing that Nan Xuanjue worked so hard every day using expensive fur oil to groom himself. Now it was finally his wife's turn to stroke his bear head!
