I'm pretending to be a fairy in kindergarten

Chapter 388 The Five Sisters

The quiet sunset remained unchanged, but a breeze made the shadows of the treetops beneath their feet sway.

"What did you just say..." she asked again.

Lin Zhengran had to admit:

“I said I might have liked you a little long ago. Maybe it was on the day I graduated from high school, or maybe it was the time I went to your house with Jingshi, or maybe it was after I went to college. In short, I can feel that you are different from other people in my heart.”

Jiang Qian could hardly believe it; her eyelashes trembled.

Her face quickly flushed crimson.

The aloof second young lady wanted to say something for the first time but didn't have the courage to speak. She sat up straight again, looking down at the ground.

The base of his ears turned red.

"Really? I thought you didn't have any feelings for me," the voice muffled like a mosquito's buzz.

Lin Zhengran sat very close to her and took a small box out of his pocket:

"I just realized that after I officially started dating He Qingwen and Wenlili in my senior year of high school, I never planned to find another girlfriend. Three is already a lot."

But some people, once they're meant to be, are simply destined to be. So, during that trip when Wenwen and the others were discussing with me how many people we wanted to date in the future, I ultimately didn't say three. Maybe subconsciously, I felt there were still people I liked who I hadn't gotten.

Jiang Qian clenched her fists and remained silent.

Lin Zhengran looked at Jiang Qian and said, "There's nothing I can do. We've known each other for too long, and it's inevitable that I'll start to care about you. After all, Jiang Qian, the second young lady of the Jiang family, has always been a prominent figure on campus, and you've helped me a lot over the years."

The shadow cast by Jiang Qian's bangs partially obscured her eyes.

"You've helped me so much... but I never thought you'd say something like that to me. Let me tell you what's on my mind. Ever since your sister took you home that time, I've been scared. My inner self isn't as invincible as I appear on the outside."

Her voice remained cool, but that coolness also made it sound unusually gentle:

"I'm afraid that you might stop liking me after you get together with my sister, because in my eyes, my sister and I are very similar, but you clearly like my sister more, and our parents are more supportive of her."

So that day at the dinner table, when my sister wanted to go public with our relationship, I got angry and did *that* thing—kissed you in front of Mom and Dad.

She paused, then said seriously:
"I'm sorry, although I already apologized to you on the phone before, I still felt it wasn't formal enough, and after apologizing last time, I didn't dare look at my phone again, so I'm apologizing again today." She added:

"I will apologize to my sister later. I think what happened that day was a bit too much."

Lin Zhengran laughed and said, "You two sisters really can't stand each other lately. It seems like you haven't spoken much for over a month."

Jiang Qian nodded.

Lin Zhengran handed the small box to Jiang Qian: "Here, this is medicine I made myself. After taking it, it will heal the injury on your hand and help your skin recover faster."

Jiang Qian blushed as she took the small box, opened it, and saw the pills inside: "Did you make these yourself? Thank you. Can I take them now?"

"can."

Jiang Qian picked up the pill and put it in her mouth. The medicine was miraculous, but Jiang Qian had no time to care about what made it so miraculous.

She pursed her lips and half-raised her head to glance at Lin Zhengran.

After a moment of silence, she asked clearly:
"So what is our relationship now? Does this count as being together? I've never been in a relationship before, so I want you to tell me clearly that I like you. Ever since I fell in love with you, I've always liked you."

Lin Zhengran slowly took her hand in his. When their fingers touched, she was slightly startled, but quickly accepted his grasp.

Lin Zhengran said, "Is that even a question? I like you too, so of course we're together."

Jiang Qian laughed with joy upon hearing this.

Looking up at the sky with a smile, her heart pounding, she exclaimed, "This is what it feels like to be in love! No wonder my sister has been acting all cheeky ever since we got together. I can understand now."

After saying that, she slowly leaned on Lin Zhengran's shoulder, and the two looked at each other. In a daze, Jiang Qian's eyes sparkled, and her lips slowly touched his.

Not far away, at a deserted corner, Fang Meng watched the kissing scene with trembling eyes.

He gripped the wall with more force: "Qianqian...Lin Zhengran..."

She was happy for Qianqian's success, but a hint of jealousy unconsciously surfaced on her face at the same time.

The next morning, in the office of the student council president.

Jiang Qian entered the room looking radiant; she was full of energy and exuded confidence.

Everyone in the office, including Lin Zhengran who was sitting there, and Han Wenwen who was making tea for Lin Zhengran.

He Qing and Jiang Xueli, who were doing other things, both looked at Jiang Qian.

Jiang Qian walked up to Lin Zhengran with her letter of appointment in hand: "Chairman, I am now the vice chairman, starting today. My application has been approved."

Lin Zhengran gave a calm "hmm".

As the two looked at each other, Lin Zhengran smiled and called out to the others, "He Qing, Lili, you two come here for a moment, and Wenwen, I have something to tell you three."

Hearing this tone, the three children suddenly had a bad feeling.

Is there anything you need to say to them in front of Jiang Qian?

They looked at each other, both bewildered.

Walk over slowly.

I thought to myself, "Probably not..."
But just as the three of them had expected, Lin Zhengran simply and directly grasped Jiang Qian's hand:
“He Qingwen and Lili, Jiang Qian and I officially got together yesterday afternoon. Remember to get along peacefully from now on.”

Han Wenwen, He Qing, and Jiang Xueli all widened their eyes and mouths in surprise.

I was stunned for a full half minute.

Jiang Xueli stammered, clenching her fists: "Really? Yesterday...yesterday afternoon?! What happened yesterday afternoon?!"

Han Wenwen sighed heavily, her jealousy palpable.

Little He Qing pursed her lips and tapped her small hands in front of her: "It's still like this after all."

Lin Zhengran smiled helplessly: "There's nothing I can do." He greeted Jiang Qian, changing his form of address: "Qianqian."

Jiang Qian nodded with a slight blush, and then changed how she addressed the three of them: "He Qing, Wenwen, Lili, from now on we are sisters, you three can just call me Qianqian."

All three of them grinned at the same time.

After giving Lin Zheng a jealous glare, they had no choice but to submit to their boss and say in unison, "Qianqian..."

A moment later, on the student council's sofa, Jiang Qian sat down with the three little ones for the first time.

However, as the second young lady, she always sat upright with her back straight, no matter what.

Jiang Xueli took a sip of tea and asked, "Jiang Qianqian, I didn't expect you to succeed after all?"

Jiang Qian didn't know what to say, but her voice was pleasant: "I also think it's quite sudden. I thought we would have to continue fighting a long battle with you, but I didn't expect to get results so quickly."

Han Wenwen sat down next to Lin Zhengran and leaned on his shoulder: "Then we'll be five sisters from now on."

Xiao Heqing asked curiously, "Does Sister Jiang know about this?"

Lin Zhengran also sipped his tea: "I haven't told Jingshi yet. I'll give her a call later."
