Pretending to Cultivate in Kindergarten-Chapter 163: The Jealous Little Fox

The night... was far from over.

It was already past 1 AM.

Jiang Xueli's eyes were barely open, just a slit. She couldn't fall asleep in Lin Zhengran's arms because her mind was racing with thoughts.

Her smooth, youthful legs shifted slightly.

Lin Zhengran, eyes closed, spoke up: “Aren’t you going to sleep?”

Jiang Xueli flinched, panicked. “Zhengran, you’re not asleep either?”

Lin Zhengran, still with his eyes closed, replied, “What do you think? You keep moving your legs, one moment this way, then the other, how am I supposed to sleep?”

She froze her legs in place. “That’s because... it’s your fault! You asked me to! And then you stopped talking.”

“Forget about that now. How can you fall asleep?”

Jiang Xueli pressed her face against his neck. “At home, I always sleep with my legs wrapped around a pillow. If I don’t have something to hold, I can’t sleep.”

“So, you want me to be your pillow?”

Her face turned red. “I didn’t say that! You said it first! And I don’t mean anything else! It’s just... a habit! Can you understand?”

“No need to explain, here you go.”

Lin Zhengran extended one of his legs.

Jiang Xueli hadn’t expected him to be so straightforward. She blushed and closed her eyes. After settling in, she suddenly smiled:

“Alright, this is good. Time to sleep. Goodnight, Zhengran.”

“Goodnight.”

At 2 AM, Jiang Xueli suddenly panicked. “Oh right, Zhengran! My clothes! I don’t have anything to wear tomorrow! How am I going to go out?”

Lin Zhengran couldn’t hold back and gave her a tap on the head.

Jiang Xueli winced in pain.

Lin Zhengran sighed. “I’ll send someone to get your clothes from the dorm tomorrow. Go to sleep, you’ve got the MV shoot tomorrow, and I still have to head home in the afternoon.”

“You’re going home tomorrow afternoon? What for?”

“It’s nothing. My mom wants me to meet someone. I’ll be back by night. Don’t worry about it.”

“Ah... okay.”

This time, the night really passed.

The next morning, even before the sun had fully risen, Lin Zhengran woke up around 6 AM. His energy was different from most people;just a little sleep made him feel completely refreshed.

Even if he didn’t sleep for a few days, it didn’t bother him.

But Jiang Xueli, having stayed up late last night, was still completely out of it.

However, once she fell asleep, she was much more well-behaved than a certain fox.

She was exactly the same after falling asleep as she was before.

Lin Zhengran decided to try pulling his leg out from under her, only to find that she was holding onto him tightly with her legs.

After some struggle, he finally pulled his leg free, only to hear her mutter in her sleep:

“Big fool... I’m not tsundere, I’m not a failure... I’m a winner... right?”

Lin Zhengran tried to get up but found her hugging him tightly.

“Zhengran, you tell me, I’m not a failure, am I? Say it! Say that I’m not a failure, that Xueli is not a failure... or I’ll cry.”

Lin Zhengran sighed and replied, “Yes, you’re not a failure. You’re a winner.”

Jiang Xueli smiled slightly and continued to sleep.

“Zhengran... I like you...”

Lin Zhengran slowly lifted her hand that was wrapped around his back and gently patted her head. “I’m going to get your clothes. You keep sleeping.”

He got up and headed to the bathroom. As he brushed his teeth, he realized a key issue: he didn’t have a shirt.

The shirt was on Jiang Xueli.

There was no way he could go to the girls’ dorm without a shirt, right? If he did, he'd probably make headlines again at school.

So, Lin Zhengran grabbed his phone and called someone.

He opened the chat with He Qing and Han Wenwen. Without much thought, he dialed Han Wenwen’s number.

The phone buzzed for a while before Han Wenwen, still half-asleep in the dorm, answered groggily. “Hello? Who is it?”

Lin Zhengran, with his toothbrush still in his mouth, responded, “Wenwen, it’s me.”

Her drowsiness evaporated as soon as she heard his voice. The morning light was still dim outside.

“Zhengran Ge?” Han Wenwen pulled the phone away from her ear and glanced at the bed across the room, where He Qing was still asleep.

The little fox covered her head with the blanket, glanced at the time, and answered softly, “Zhengran Ge? Why are you calling me so early? Miss me?”

Her voice turned suddenly sweet.

Lin Zhengran replied, “Actually, I miss you both, no matter when.”

Han Wenwen’s fox-like eyes blinked seductively. “Really? I didn’t know that... Then, should I get dressed and meet you downstairs in secret?”

Lin Zhengran raised a finger, “Hmm, but before that, I need a favor. Can you go to Xueli’s dorm and bring me a set of her clothes?”

Han Wenwen was confused at first, then Lin Zhengran clarified, “I spent the night with her, and her clothes got wet when she showered. So…”

Before she could respond, he hung up.

Lin Zhengran looked at his phone and thought, This fox has no shame. She’s the only one who would hang up on me so boldly.

But no one could outdo Lin Zhengran.

Three seconds later, the phone rang again. Han Wenwen was furious. “Zhengran Ge, you shameless jerk! You spent the night with Xueli?!”

Her voice was a mixture of pouting and anger.

Lin Zhengran quickly tried to explain, “It’s not what you think, actually... Well, maybe it is. It’s hard to explain over the phone, but bring me the clothes first, and I’ll explain everything when we meet.”

Han Wenwen, still upset, grumbled, “Where should I meet you?”

“I’ll send you the address. How long will it take?”

Han Wenwen looked at the location and found it was at a nearby hotel.

“Half an hour. I’ll get ready. But once I get there, Zhengran Ge, you have to explain everything clearly! You can’t leave anything out!”

“I know.”

“Bye, Zhengran Ge.”

“Bye.”

She hung up, and Lin Zhengran finished brushing his teeth and washing up.

Meanwhile, Han Wenwen, still stewing, glanced at the address sent to her on her phone. A hotel room...

Sneaking around was normal, but this was too much, wasn’t it?

The little fox quietly got out of bed, making sure not to wake He Qing. She grabbed a basin and the necessary toiletries to brush her teeth, then quickly got dressed.

Once ready, she went to Jiang Xueli’s dorm, knocking softly on the door. She knew someone was there over the weekend.

She woke up Jiang Xueli’s roommate and found a set of clothes under the bed. After packing them in a bag, she hurried out of the dorm.

About half an hour later, Han Wenwen called Lin Zhengran. “What room? Tell me!”

Lin Zhengran responded, “307.”

Han Wenwen then headed to the third floor.

Lin Zhengran opened the door for her before she even reached the room.

When Han Wenwen saw Lin Zhengran shirtless, her mind nearly short-circuited. And then she saw Jiang Xueli still sleeping in bed.

Her eyes widened.

Lin Zhengran quickly gestured for her to come in and closed the door behind them.

In the narrow bathroom, Han Wenwen, full of jealousy, stared at Lin Zhengran. She could smell Xueli’s scent lingering on him.

Before Lin Zhengran could speak, Han Wenwen squatted down and puffed her cheeks, holding the bag with Xueli’s clothes. “Zhengran Ge, just get angry with me, let me be your jealous little fox. You’re trying to make me lose my mind, aren’t you?”

Lin Zhengran squatted down too, eyeing Han Wenwen’s lips, slightly glossy from lip balm. Curious, he asked, “Did you put on lip balm?”

Han Wenwen, irritated, snorted. “How could I meet you without making myself presentable?”

She looked at the floor. “Hurry up and hug me. Otherwise, I’m not speaking to you for a minute. Hurry up~”
