[Sorry, the original premise wasn’t working very well, so I changed it. If that bothers you, feel free to remove it from your collection. Waaaah. X﹏X
[I wasn’t happy with the setup for this upcoming story, so I put it aside. I swear I’m really going to write it this time! Getting ready to outline it.]
The monster nursery has taken in a cheetah cub.
As everyone knows, cheetah cubs are wary and sensitive creatures.
To help Johannes settle in, the nursery finds him an adorable Samoyed puppy as a companion.
They eat together, sleep together, and go to school together.
From awkwardness to habit, Johannes has lost count of how many times he’s been jealous of Ran Ye, the popular little Samoyed.
Completely unaware, Ran Ye takes out his little notebook: Another day helping Xiao Qiao make new friends.
[Task check-in: N/100]
Until one day...
Ran Ye finally finishes the work period he’s put off for ages. Smiling, he says goodbye to Johannes. “Xiao Qiao, I’m going home to reunite with my big sister! Even if we can’t be together all the time, you’ll always be my best friend.”
Johannes, who’s been saving up his future wife fund with painstaking care, is struck like a bolt from the blue. His wife hasn’t realized his feelings, and now she’s run off...

N years later
Ran Ye, now working at an elite kindergarten in the imperial capital, has become the kindergarten’s legendary “tantrum-taming expert.”
At lunch, a colleague asks him curiously and enviously, “Dear, when did you unlock that skill?”
Ran Ye answers without thinking, “When I was five.”
But it seems the person who helped him unlock that skill got angry. They haven’t been in touch for a long time.
Remembering someone from the past, the young beastman’s fluffy white ears droop against his head, and his round, glossy black eyes grow even more pitiful.
What Ran Ye doesn’t see is the report flashing across the smart screen in the cafeteria behind him, showing the media interviewing the CEO of Kesheng Group. “How did you build your fortune from nothing and achieve what you have today?”
The blond man is dressed in a sharp suit, his handsome face expressionless. “So I could support my wife.”
Even though his wife ran away.
