I'm pretending to be a fairy in kindergarten

In the afternoon, in the lobby of a three-story villa.

Jiang Jingshi was putting away the things she had brought in the large study on the first floor when she received Lin Zhengran's call and responded:

"Okay, I understand, Zhengzheng. Alright, then you and Wenwen don't need to go back to school for the next two days. Just sign the leave slip when you get back."

She smiled, blushing, "Why are you being so polite to me? But Wenwen... is she alright? What's the situation... um, okay, we'll talk about it when we get back. You two be careful."

After Jiang Jingshi hung up the phone, Jiang Xueli, who was carrying a box, also put some things in the study.

Xiao Heqing followed closely behind, also carrying bags of various sizes, with each of the three doing their own thing.

Jiang Jingshi turned to look at the two of them: "Lili and He Qing, Zhengzheng said that he and Wenwen won't be coming to school for the next two days. Wenwen had some family troubles and they went back to the south."

Jiang Xueli and He Qing stopped, which surprised them, even though they had a premonition.

"Back in the South?!" He Qing asked hurriedly, "What did Lin Zhengran say? Is it serious? What can we do?!"

Jiang Jingshi has experienced more things, so she can glean some insights from Lin Zhengran's tone:
"Zhengzheng didn't explain in detail what happened, only that Wenwen's family member was seriously ill. I guess there must be some other reason for not explaining clearly. Let's just wait and see, otherwise asking more questions might just cause trouble for them."

Jiang Xueli nodded: "With Zhengran here, there's no problem. He can handle anything."

Although he said that, his expression clearly showed that he was still a little worried.

Jiang Jingshi smiled and affirmed Jiang Xueli's words: "I also think that with Zhengzheng accompanying Wenwen, she will definitely be fine."

The two responded.

High-speed trains speed across the city's borders.

Lin Zhengran held Han Wenwen's hand in the car, and she was trembling with fear.

My palms were sweating and I was trembling.

He was half-lowering his head, lost in thought.

Lin Zhengran asked, "How much do you remember about your mother?"

Han Wenwen trembled, snapping back to reality at the sound, and leaned on Lin Zhengran's shoulder:
“Not many. I only remember that my mother was always very busy when I was a child. She could not spend much time with me every day. Later, she left without saying a word. She went out to buy things and lied to me, saying that she would be back in the evening. Then I never saw her again.”

Han Wenwen pleaded, "Brother Zhengran, please don't let go of my hand, I'm scared."

"Mmm." She squeezed Han Wenwen's fair and delicate hand: "I'm here for you."

We arrived safely in the south that evening.

After getting off the high-speed train, Han Wenwen took out her phone and dialed her uncle's number.

The uncle in the hospital answered the phone as soon as he realized it was Han Wenwen calling.

Han Wenwen has been a bit stubborn since she was a child.

Once a decision is made, there's basically no going back, and what happened back then really hurt Wenwen deeply.

He couldn't persuade her otherwise, so after Han Wenwen didn't answer the first phone call, her uncle could only say a few words on WeChat, respecting her wishes.

Caught between two sides, he still hoped that Wenwen would come to see her sister one last time.

"Hey Wenwen? Why are you calling?" Uncle's voice was slightly excited.

Han Wenwen hesitated before saying, "I've already taken a bus back to the South. Send me the ward number, and I'll go see her."

Without saying a word, my uncle nodded: "You went back to the South?! Okay, okay, I understand, I'll send it to you right now! Take care on your journey."

Han Wenwen hung up the phone and looked at the address on her phone.

The two bought some gifts and traveled by car to the People's Hospital.

When they arrived at the hospital ward, only my uncle and aunt were there; they seemed to have been waiting at the door for quite some time.

"Wenwen! You're back!" Her uncle, who had been pacing back and forth, immediately asked upon seeing her. He also noticed Lin Zhengran holding Han Wenwen's hand: "This must be Lin Zhengran..."

Han Wenwen smiled at her aunt and uncle: "Uncle and Aunt, it's been a long time. This is my boyfriend. I've told you about him many times before."

Lin Zhengran greeted them: "Hello, Uncle and Aunt, my name is Lin Zhengran."

Lin Zhengran's demeanor was quite unusual, and his aunt and uncle nodded in greeting upon seeing him. His aunt said to Han Wenwen, "Your mother is in the ward. Your uncle and I won't go in. You two go in and see her. She was very happy to hear that you were coming."

Han Wenwen's expression didn't change much; she simply glanced at the ward from afar and said, "I understand."

As she reached the door of the ward, Han Wenwen took several deep breaths.

Lin Zhengran squeezed her hand again to encourage her.

Only then did she have the courage to push open the door to the ward.

Looking up, I saw a thin, haggard figure in a hospital gown, but whose beauty and slenderness were still evident in her youth, lying on the hospital bed.

The woman had an oval face similar to Han Wenwen's. If she were more energetic and decades younger, she would definitely have a pair of extremely alluring fox eyes. However, due to her age, she looked older and could not compare with the younger Han Wenwen.

Han Wenwen's eyes trembled as she looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure.

The woman in the hospital bed turned her head at the sound, and upon seeing the girl standing in the doorway, her weak eyes widened in disbelief: "Is it Wenwen?"

Han Wenwen gritted her teeth and slowly walked over with Lin Zhengran.

Lin Zhengran greeted her first: "Hello, Auntie, my name is Lin Zhengran, and I am Han Wenwen's boyfriend."

The woman stared at the handsome Lin Zhengran and exclaimed, "What a classy young man! Hello."

Han Wenwen scrutinized the woman she hadn't seen for over a decade. The complex emotions she felt on the way here—a mixture of tension, anxiety, and various other feelings—now seemed comical and ordinary to her as she stood there.

Because the woman in front of me was completely different from the one I remembered; she wasn't as beautiful, as young, or as unattainable as I remembered.

“You are completely different from how I remember you, like two different people.”

The woman stared tremblingly at Han Wenwen's unbelievably beautiful face, shocked: "You too, I never imagined you could grow up to be so beautiful... even more beautiful than I was when I was young." She suddenly smiled:
“It’s completely different from what I imagined. I thought I would never see what you looked like when you grew up, but I never expected that you would be willing to come and see me one last time.”

She clenched her fist: "I wasn't planning to come, but Brother Zhengran said that coming doesn't necessarily mean he's forgiven, so I came to see what you're like now."

"Is that so..." The woman kept staring at Han Wenwen's face, unable to express her true feelings: "Brother Zhengran, what an intimate way to address you, thank you." Her last sentence was addressed to Lin Zhengran.

Lin Zhengran simply smiled.

Han Wenwen: "What did the doctor say? How many days do I have left to live?"

"Not necessarily, it might take a while longer, about a month."

"That's quite long, a whole month has thirty days."

"It is very long."

“I remember when I was a child, the night I longed for you to come back never seemed to end, it was just one night.”

The woman looked at her daughter's eyes, which held a mixture of disgust and complex emotions, and her lips trembled.

"I'm sorry, Wenwen. I... I didn't mean for you to forgive me. I just wanted to say sorry."

Han Wenwen's eyes suddenly welled up with tears, and she said in a trembling voice, "How dare you say such a thing to me? Don't tell me you have some kind of hardship. You've already abandoned everything, so why are you apologizing? People should always take responsibility for their actions."

The woman said self-deprecatingly, "You're right. I do wish I had some kind of excuse, but I've never done anything respectable in my life. Perhaps the most human thing I've ever done is to give birth to you and raise you for a few years."

"Why..." Han Wenwen asked softly, "Even though so many years have passed, I still want to ask, why? Why did you abandon me back then?"

The woman, tears welling in her eyes, said, "At that time, I felt I deserved a better life. Someone as young and beautiful as me shouldn't be burdened by a child for the rest of my life, so I left..."

Han Wenwen looked at her mother, who was telling the truth, and laughed: "I guessed that was the case. Such a simple reason. Thank you for telling me the truth. It's just that you haven't gotten the life you wanted."

The woman sighed, "Everyone gets old eventually. A woman's looks can't sustain her forever. You can't win a man's heart with just your looks. They all leave as soon as something happens. Even though I didn't intend for them to spend money on my treatment, they just watched me, afraid I'd infect them."
Looking back over the years, it seems the only person who truly clung to me and loved me from the bottom of their heart was you when I was a child. That's why I want to see you; children are so innocent and naive, so I miss you so much.

Han Wenwen frowned slightly.

The woman looked at Han Wenwen with concern: "Wenwen, how are you doing now? Are you supporting yourself, or..."

"Don't worry, I won't follow your path. I live on my own. Although Brother Zhengran is very capable and has helped me a lot, he often says that people should have things they like and things they want to do."
So I became a gaming video blogger based on my strengths and interests, and now I have one million followers. I used to have over 1.6 million, but I lost some because I was lazy during the college entrance exam. But I'll definitely make it back.
Before I met Brother Zhengran, I did a lot of online part-time jobs. Of course, adults might think it was a bit of a waste of time, but I never intended to harm my health.

She showed the woman the video account.

The woman's worried brow relaxed as she looked at the video. "That's great, I can finally relax." Tears suddenly welled in her eyes. "It's so good that you didn't do the same thing I did." (End of Chapter)
