So what if I only have a junior college degree? It won't stop me from marrying the bureau chief

"What? Is there no room for you in our house?"

Upon hearing that Lin Qian was going to Jiang Wan's house, Lin Mu speechlessly stepped forward, grabbed her hand, and dragged her outside.

"Oh dear, I'll be living with my aunt at our house, and I'm worried your snoring will disturb my uncle..."

"Don't embarrass me, get down here!"

"Since Xiaoxi wants to come, then let her come."

Just as Lin Qian was about to be pulled away by Lin Mu, Jiang Lin'an suddenly spoke up to stop her.

"Really? Thank you, Uncle Jiang!"

"Yes, let's stop bothering Uncle Lin."

Jiang Wan then spoke up to offer advice, mainly because she felt embarrassed about misunderstanding the girl.

Lin Qian immediately beamed with joy and happily shook Jiang Wan's arm.

"Thank you, Sister Wan'er."

Then, Lin Qian waved at Lin Mu with a feigned look of disgust.

"Hey you, could you please let go of my hand? We're going home."

Seeing his cousin's face change so quickly, Lin Mu's lips twitched.

Without waiting for a goodbye, Jiang Lin'an stepped on the gas and drove Lin Qian away.

Before leaving, Lin Mu only saw Lin Qian stick her tongue out at him.

"Damn it, you're spreading rumors about me! I didn't snore at all! You gold-digging, snobbish little sister! You just met her and you're already running off with her like a puppy. Haven't I been a good brother to you?!"

Lin Mu pouted angrily, but could only grumble as he walked home.

Greentown Peach Blossom Garden, Jiang Wan's villa.

As the car pulled in, Lin Qian's eyes widened, and she got out of the car with a look of surprise on her face.

"Sister Wan'er...so you live in a villa?!"

Lin Qian swallowed hard.

"Come on, Xiaoxi, my mom has already cooked dinner."

Jiang Wan then got out of the car, took Lin Qian's hand, and led her into the house.

As soon as I entered, a gentle and elegant lady came to greet me.

"This must be Xiaoxi, come in quickly, we've been waiting for you."

"Good evening, sisters. I'm so sorry to bother you so late!"

Lin Qian changed into the slippers Jiang Wan handed her while politely greeting her.

"elder sister?"

Upon hearing this, Song Muwan was taken aback at first, but after realizing that Lin Qian was calling her, she was overjoyed and pulled her towards the dining table.

"What do you mean 'sister'? Call her 'auntie'! Otherwise, there's a generational gap, hahaha..."

"Oh? Aren't you Wan'er's older sister?"

Lin Qian pretended to be surprised and opened her mouth wide.

"Hahaha……"

Song Muwan smiled broadly, and after Lin Qian sat down, she went to the kitchen and cut out a large plate of fruit.

Jiang Wan also came to the dining table and introduced herself to Lin Qian with a smile.

"This is my mother."

"Xiaoqian, come and have some fruit. Make yourself at home."

Lin Qian's sweet words were like honey; she easily made Song Muwan happy with just a few words.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Lin'an, who had just entered, smiled and shook his head.

"She's just as quick-witted as her brother."

At the dinner table, Lin Qian praised Jiang Lin'an for his authority, implying he must be a high-ranking leader; then she praised Song Muwan for her outstanding temperament and still stunning beauty; and then she raved that Jiang Wan was the most beautiful woman she had ever seen, even more beautiful than a celebrity…

In short, she praises others however they please, making her a true "sycophant."

But thanks to Lin Qian's efforts, the atmosphere at the dinner table gradually became cheerful.

After dinner, Lin Qian followed Jiang Wan to her boudoir.

After washing up, Lin Qian, wearing Jiang Wan's pajamas, lay on the bed and curiously looked around the room.

The room was clean and cozy, with a private bathroom and balcony, and the air was filled with Jiang Wan's unique, faint fragrance.

"Wan'er's room smells so good."

Lin Qian sniffed greedily, then let out a moan of ecstasy.

"Ah~"

"Xiaoqian, are you here to visit relatives?"

Jiang Wan had finished washing up by then.

Lin Qian looked in the direction of the voice, and was about to answer when she saw Jiang Wan sitting down next to her in a pure white silk nightgown.

Having just taken a shower, her skin glowed with a rosy hue under the light, and her curvaceous figure was accentuated by her pajamas, making her even more alluring.

"Wan... Sister Wan'er, you're so beautiful..."

Lin Qian swallowed subconsciously, but after realizing what she had done, she immediately blushed and buried herself under the covers.

"No, no... I'm straight, I'm straight..."

After repeating it to herself twice, Lin Qian finally regained her composure and kept her expression under control.

"Xiaoqian, what's wrong?"

However, just as Lin Qian calmed down and turned her head, Jiang Wan, worried that she was uncomfortable, also moved closer to her.

As a result of poor visibility, she bumped right into a field of pure white.

"Oh ho ho ho..."

"Xiaoqian, what's wrong?"

"Xiaoqian, why are you having a nosebleed?!"

"Xiaoqian, wake up!!!"

……

Ten minutes later, Lin Qian lay far away in the corner of the bed, half a meter away from Jiang Wan.

"Xiaoqian, I'm so sorry, you had to pay for this so soon after you came to my house."

On the other side, Jiang Wan handed the water glass to Lin Qian with an embarrassed expression.

"Sister Wan'er, I'm fine. I've just been feeling a bit feverish these past few days. I'll be fine after drinking some water."

Lin Qian took the water glass and casually threw the tissue into the trash can.

The overhead light is now off, leaving only a dim nightlight.

Two young girls, in the prime of their youth, lay on the same bed and soon started chatting again.

"Sister Wan'er, I heard there's a really nice women's clothing street near Wulin Gate. Have you ever been there?"

"No, I rarely go shopping."

"Which beggar's chicken restaurant by West Lake is the most authentic? I wanted to eat there today, but my stingy brother only agreed to take me to eat Lanzhou noodles!"

"Hmph, he's so mean!"

Jiang Wan was aloof and didn't like to talk much, but faced with Lin Qian's infectious chatter, she unconsciously relaxed and started chatting with Lin Qian.

The two chatted about snacks in Lin'an and Suzhou, from their high school class routines to their everyday outfits, showing signs of becoming best friends.

As they chatted, the two grew closer.

Lin Qian turned over, rested her chin on her hand, and looked at Jiang Wan with bright eyes.

"By the way, Sister Wan'er, which university did you apply to?"

Jiang Wan leaned against the soft pillows and reached out to tidy up the stray hairs by Lin Qian's ear.

"Where's Xiaoqian from Lin'an University?"

"..."

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

Upon hearing Jiang Wan's words, Lin Qian, who had been kicking her legs a moment ago, froze on the spot.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Wan, seeing no reaction from Lin Qian, called out softly.

"Xiaoqian?"

"Lin...Lin University...haha...Lin University."

Lin Qian lay back down and silently pulled the blanket up to cover half of her face.

"Um, sorry to bother you, goodnight sister."

She mumbled something weakly and closed her eyes peacefully.

Lin Qian was naturally beautiful. She worked hard for three years (two years of play and one year of study) and finally got into a top university. She never expected to meet someone who completely outclassed her so soon. She felt extremely frustrated.

Seeing Lin Qian's comical "peaceful passing," Jiang Wan couldn't help but chuckle.

Less than five minutes later, Lin Qian began to breathe evenly without a care in the world.

"Buzzing—"

Just then, the phone on the bedside table vibrated.

Jiang Wan took the phone and opened it.

Like a dragon in flight, turning into a worm in the forest: [Wanzai, is my cousin asleep?]
