Pretending to Cultivate in Kindergarten-Chapter 257: Possession

Lin Zhengran looked at the golden ponytail in his hand. Lili’s hair was incredibly silky.

“Right now?”

Jiang Xueli fidgeted shyly. “I... I didn’t mean right now! You can do it whenever you want! Anyway…”

She suddenly thought of He Qing again. If she waited too long, He Qing might beat her to it. She couldn’t keep falling into the same trap over and over.

So she let out a light hmph, then muttered like a mosquito, “Don’t you want to right now? Or is it that after trying He Qing, you’re not interested in… tasting me anymore?”

Lin Zhengran stared at Lili’s bashful, sweet expression. The way she looked when she was shy was so much cuter than even the taste itself.

After saying that, Jiang Xueli reached into her pocket. She knew this wasn’t the time to be passive.

Too much hesitation, and it’d be too late.

She pulled out a couple of loose condoms and handed them to Lin Zhengran. “I even brought these.”

Lin Zhengran looked at the two packets in surprise, holding them up.

“Why do you have this kind of thing on you?”

“I...” She looked completely embarrassed. “I was just being cautious! I mean, we said back at the hotel that this trip would be the time we’d finally do it. What if the inn didn’t have any? Then we’d miss the chance again!”

She paused, stammering:

“A-And… I wasn’t sure if you’d even want to do it in the room. What if you got a sudden idea to do it somewhere else? As your girlfriend, I had to be prepared. Otherwise, if I ruined the mood, you’d definitely get mad…”

Seeing Lin Zhengran’s smile, Jiang Xueli felt like she had just embarrassed herself beyond saving.

But he was her boyfriend—so what if she embarrassed herself?

Summoning every bit of courage, heart pounding, she looked at him and asked, “So… don’t you want to taste what I’m like? Zhengran, I’m delicious too. I promise I won’t disappoint you.”

Lin Zhengran ran his fingers over her twin ponytails.

He looked at her seriously.

Then, freeing one hand, he wrapped his arm around her slim waist and pulled her close.

Their bodies pressed together.

Just as she nervously pouted her lips, leaning in to kiss him, Lin Zhengran asked quietly:

“So you’re sure I shouldn’t hold back? Like we said last time, I’m gonna completely devour you. After all, in my heart, Lili is the cutest. If I’m going to eat, then I’ll savor every bite.”

Being called cute so directly made Jiang Xueli’s heart race like never before.

Her small hands clutched his shirt tightly as she gazed at the childhood friend she’d loved for so many years.

“Do whatever you want. I belong to you, you big idiot. You can do anything to me. I only like you, and I like everything you do to me. You big dummy… do you even know how much I love you?”

Their lips slowly met as Jiang Xueli closed her eyes and felt Lin Zhengran’s gentle touch.

“Lili, take your jacket off too and use it as padding. The ground’s got a lot of weeds—it’s kind of dirty.”

“Mm…”

Jiang Xueli took off her pink jacket and laid it next to Lin Zhengran’s, using them as makeshift bedding.

In the dim storage room, only a few faint beams of moonlight filtered in through cracks in the wooden ceiling.

Jiang Xueli lay on the jackets, her eyes sparkling as she looked at him. Their fingers intertwined, holding tight.

“Zhengran…”

Lin Zhengran smiled. “Don’t worry. Even if I eat you up completely, I’ll take my time. You’re not some one-time snack, after all—no need to be scared.”

She blushed and turned her head. “Tch… I’m not scared, dummy.”

Lin Zhengran kissed her lips gently, several times. And each time, Jiang Xueli responded.

Then he slowly began kissing down her neck.

...

Back in the hotel room, the sound of the toilet flushing signaled the start of the card game.

Han Wenwen and Little He Qing sat on one bed, quietly playing poker.

Though the game didn’t last long, the awkward atmosphere between them was eased a little by the distraction.

In just a few minutes, Little He Qing won the first round.

“I win.”

Han Wenwen gently tossed her cards onto the pile.

“Xiao Qingqing, ask away. I promise I won’t lie.”

Little He Qing stared at her and asked directly: “Wenwen, do you like Lin Zhengran?”

The little fox bit her lip, cheeks turning red, and nodded without hesitation. “Mm. I like him. I like him a lot.”

She’d suspected it already, but hearing her best friend confess to liking her boyfriend so openly still left her shocked.

Her pure almond-shaped eyes widened, and her small hands clenched tightly.

“Okay… next round.”

Han Wenwen spoke softly. “Actually, Xiao Qingqing, you could’ve just asked me. I would’ve told you.”

Little He Qing gathered up the cards. “Nope. If I asked too many things in a row, we’d end up fighting. Playing cards helps us stay calm and talk things out. Each round only takes like two minutes, anyway.”

Han Wenwen looked at He Qing and gave a helpless smile.

They played another round. Once again, Little He Qing won.

She asked, “How long have you liked him? Or when did you first fall for Lin Zhengran?”

Han Wenwen looked into her eyes. “Many years. Since middle school. I’ve liked him ever since.”

“Middle school? So you liked him right after meeting him? That early? Love at first sight?”

“No, not exactly. Didn’t I tell you before? I never really had any feelings for boys. I thought I’d never like one my whole life.

Even when I first met Brother Zhengran in middle school, I just thought he was handsome and fun to talk to. But since he was your childhood friend, I didn’t think about it that way. But…”

The little fox thought back to that serious illness, and that New Year’s night.

Even now, those memories were unforgettable. After those two events, she realized she could never live without Lin Zhengran.

As a woman, Han Wenwen knew how stubborn girls could be—and she was even more obsessive.

She could either never care about a man at all, or once he entered her heart, she’d give everything.

If Brother Zhengran ever asked her to die with him, she wouldn’t hesitate for a second. Because without him, there was no point in living.

“After those things happened, even though it wasn’t anything dramatic or movie-worthy… I just completely fell for Brother Zhengran. I can’t live without him.”

Little He Qing could see the overwhelming love in her eyes.

It was a kind of look she’d never seen before.

Without knowing why, her own eyes welled up with tears.

Seeing this, Han Wenwen grew emotional too. She felt guilty. “I’m sorry, Xiao Qingqing. For keeping it from you for so long.”

He Qing wiped her tears. “I never knew you liked him that much. But… why didn’t you tell me? Aren’t we best friends…”

“In my heart, Xiao Qingqing is my best friend. You’re my only friend. I won’t lie tonight. At first, I didn’t tell you because I knew you liked him. I even wanted to help you two get together.

But after I fell for him… I didn’t know how to say it. I meant to tell you, but the more I liked him, the harder it got…” free𝑤ebnovel.com

He Qing stared straight at her.

“You’re trying to say… you wanted to have Lin Zhengran all to yourself, right? You didn’t want to share him with anyone. But he’s not the kind of guy who’ll only love one person.”

Han Wenwen looked at her in surprise.

He Qing frowned. “I’m like that too. We’re all the same. Who doesn’t want to have Lin Zhengran all to themselves? If he weren’t so flirty, everyone would want to keep him to themselves!

We’re all trying to sneak our way in, just so we can spend a little more time with him.”

Han Wenwen smiled. “That’s true. Even Lili’s the same way.”

The two besties stared at each other—

Then suddenly burst out laughing.
