I'm pretending to be a fairy in kindergarten

A peaceful morning breeze swept through the city.

The taxi stopped at a busy intersection.

Pedestrians strolled along the road, and the sounds of cars occasionally whizzed by. Lin Zhengran and Jiang Qian got out of the car together.

"This is the street. Just walk to the middle and turn the corner," she said.

"It's quite remote. How did you find it before?"

Jiang Qian walked side by side with Lin Zhengran, her eyes fixed ahead as she spoke in the same tone as always:
"I asked Xiaomeng to find me some of the most difficult-to-train pet dogs in the city, on the condition that they were not sick. She found them for me. Xiaomeng is very capable."

After speaking, Jiang Qian turned to look at Lin Zhengran and suddenly remembered the meaningful expressions on He Qing's and her sister's faces when Lin Zhengran said he would take her out during breakfast.

What do they mean...?
While thinking, he noticed that Lin Zhengran was also looking at him, so he immediately straightened up.

My heart skipped a beat.

Lin Zhengran stared at Jiang Qian: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen Fang Mengren much this past week. Did you give her a day off again?"

Jiang Qian's voice was calm, but her ears were a little red: "Well, Xiao Meng said that since I just got together with you, it's not suitable for me to be with you all the time, so she asked me to give her a month's leave. She said she also had some things she wanted to do, so I agreed."

"She offered you a holiday? Back in high school, when you offered her a holiday, she got really angry."

“We had some conflicts before, but they're over now, so Xiaomeng doesn't care about these things anymore. Our relationship is much better than before.”

After saying that, she secretly glanced at Lin Zhengran's profile.

She felt so close to him. Ever since she met him in high school, Jiang Qian had imagined being this close to him many times. She never thought that one day it would actually come true, walking alone with him outside of school.

Is this what dating is like?
So happy..
Lin Zhengran noticed her staring at him curiously and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Qian immediately straightened up, her ears turning even redder: "It's nothing...it's nothing..."

Lin Zhengran noticed the bright red earlobe and smiled.

"After you've seen the pets, is there anywhere you'd like to go?"

"Where do you want to go?" Jiang Qian asked. "If I want to go, will you come with me?"

"Of course, I'm your boyfriend now."

Jiang Qian looked at him in surprise and asked, "If I were your boyfriend, would he accompany me to wherever I want to go?"

Lin Zhengran laughed and replied, "What a strange question. Of course it is. But I've noticed it recently. You've become a bit dazed since we got together. This is the first time I've seen you like this in all the time I've known you."

"Staring blankly," Jiang Qian said softly, her face flushed as she looked ahead.

"Sorry, I've never been in a relationship before, so I don't really understand the difference between a boyfriend and a friend. Some books say that even couples should give each other space and not just think about themselves, but other books say that couples shouldn't have any space, otherwise there will be a barrier, and they should try to do everything together. All the books say different things, so..."

"So you don't know what's right and what's wrong?"

Jiang Qian didn't know whether she should nod or not.

Lin Zhengran reached out and patted her head.

Jiang Qian felt his hand on her head and nervously pursed her lips:
"The main thing is... I've always had goals in everything I do since I was little. After achieving one goal, I would set the next one, so I always knew clearly what I wanted to do. But now, my goal is completely tied to you."
Suddenly I'm not quite sure what my future goals are. Without clear goals, I don't know what I should do or say... I don't know if you can understand what I'm saying...

Lin Zhengran smiled and said, "It's a bit convoluted, but I understand. I'll teach you slowly. So, is there a place you want to go?"

Jiang Qian looked at Lin Zhengran and slowly nodded: "Yes, it's the flower bed we saw when we had dinner together before." Lin Zhengran remembered: "The flower bed that the restaurant manager said was going to be demolished?"

"Ah."

Upon arriving at the pet store, the owner recognized Jiang Qian and Lin Zhengran, who had previously competed in a school competition.

Very enthusiastic: "Is it you two? What brings you here today? Is it for the competition?"

Lin Zhengran said he wanted to see the black Tibetan Mastiff, as well as the small dog that was extremely aggressive.

The boss then said helplessly, "It's possible, but our black Tibetan Mastiff recently died."

Jiang Qian exclaimed in surprise, "Dead? How could he be dead? How long has it been?"

The owner took the two of them over: "Our veterinarian examined it and said there was no physical problem but a psychological one. After it came back from school, it stopped biting people, stopped eating, and just lay there all day. It didn't last more than two days before it collapsed."

Lin Zhengran and Jiang Qian went into the back of the pet shop and saw that the cage that used to hold the black Tibetan mastiff was now empty.

Lin Zhengran recalled the message that the black Tibetan Mastiff had conveyed to him before.

As expected, it would rather die than be a human's pet, but that's alright, at least it did what it wanted to do.

In modern society, dogs with such strong attack power and large size and age truly have no place to survive.

The store manager led Lin Zhengran to his dog, which had a higher level of aggression.

The puppy immediately started barking after smelling human scent; its small body looked fiercer than its mother's.

The shopkeeper said, "This is the dog's puppies, also a female puppy, but even more temperamental. Nobody dares to touch them."

Lin Zhengran walked up to its cage and squatted down.

I made eye contact with the puppy.

As they made eye contact, the puppy's barking visibly grew fainter and fainter, after realizing that the person in front of it was the one its mother had told it about.

She was certain that this was the kind of master she wanted—powerful and charismatic.

It immediately started wagging its tail and whining to Lin Zhengran, trying to get him to take it with him.

However, when Lin Zhengran reached out and touched its head, it gave it a couple of reminders in a language that it could understand.

"If you want to follow me, you'll have to behave yourself in the future. You'll have to listen to me and the people around me, and you won't do anything to hurt them. If you can't do that, then I can't take you with me."

The little female dog surprisingly nodded, whimpered twice, and rubbed her head against Lin Zhengran's hand.

He reassured Lin Zhengran that since he had acknowledged Lin as his master, he would naturally obey his master's every command and would not allow his master or anyone around him to suffer any danger.

You have successfully tamed a Primordial-level spirit beast.

Your abilities have greatly improved.

Your spiritual energy level has increased by one.

Lin Zhengran never expected that the system would actually speak. It seems that if this dog were placed in a cultivation world, its strength and realm would be quite terrifying. It would be a local overlord after all.

Lin Zhengran stood up and said to the shop owner, "I'd like to adopt this puppy. Please help me with the paperwork and bring it to my house this afternoon." (End of Chapter)
