Chapter 327 No matter how gentle you are, you will lose your temper. - Pretending to Cultivate in Kindergarten

Lin Zhengran responded with a smile and no words: "Jingshi sure does love role-playing. She used to call herself 'sister' from time to time, and now she's added 'teacher' to the mix." Jiang Jingshi was so embarrassed she was at a loss for words. She tugged at the blanket, covering her face, half-buried in the bedding, and complained, "Zhengzheng, you really have a knack for teasing girls. You’re the one who started calling me that." Lin Zhengran replied, "I’m not leaving today." Taken by surprise, she turned her beautiful almond-shaped eyes towards Lin Zhengran, her heart brimming with joy: "Zhengzheng has never gone back on his words, you can't regret this." "Why would I regret it? Typically, it's the guy staying over at the girl's place. Now that Jingshi has asked me to stay, I have no reason to leave. Isn’t this my girlfriend’s home, after all?" Jiang Jingshi's heart raced as she finally released the blanket from her face: "So, what should we do now? Should I give Zhengzheng a tour of my room? Isn’t it a bit early to start making dinner?" "I pretty much got a good look when I came in. Is your bedroom in the villa decorated like this too?" She shook her head: "It's different. My bedroom at the villa is more luxurious, and there are more of your photos on the desk. This place is just temporary, so I didn’t plan on making it too formal." Lin Zhengran reached out and gently removed Jiang Jingshi's glasses. Without the glasses, the 'teacher' aura was greatly reduced. Jiang Jingshi blushed and said, "Why did you take off my glasses?" "It's going to be inconvenient later. Didn't Jingshi just say I could do anything I wanted with you?" "Yes, but what do you want to do?" Lin Zhengran lightly wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her effortlessly into his embrace. They embraced and kissed passionately once more. The summer afternoon was somewhat hot, with the room's air conditioning humming cool air. Half-drawn curtains. Unimportant documents scattered on the floor. Jiang Jingshi's long hair was spread across the pillow. Her gentle eyes, as clear and sparkling as dewdrops, interlocked with Lin Zhengran’s fingers: "Zhengzheng... kiss me quickly." Their lips met for the umpteenth time in a fervent kiss. Despite Jiang Jingshi being a few years older than Lin Zhengran, it was her first time entrusting herself entirely to a man. She had no experience whatsoever. However, due to her natural disposition, this prestigious young lady of the Jiang family was remarkably proactive. Different from the styles of He Qing and the others, she appeared quite eager to embrace the person she loved. She didn’t want Lin Zhengran to leave her side, not even for a moment. Her elegant fingers clutched at Lin Zhengran's back. After a series of indescribable intertwinings. Even though it had been midday when they entered the bedroom, it was not until around five in the afternoon that things seemed to finally calm down. Lin Zhengran lay on the pillow with a slight smile on his lips. "Jingshi?" Jiang Jingshi emerged from the blanket, pressing her lips against his chest. After waiting a moment with her eyes closed, she looked up and asked, "Zhengzheng sure knows how to tease, let sister rest a bit, I’m really out of energy." Lin Zhengran held her, looking into her flushed eyes: "Did I not let Jingshi rest? Jingshi was much more proactive than I imagined." Jiang Jingshi blushed fiercely. She rarely used a coquettish tone to fib: "Do you really have to tease me like this? Tomorrow, I’ll make you stand in the hallway during class." Lin Zhengran heard it and curiously asked, "What?" Jiang Jingshi didn’t respond, instead gently saying: "It's nothing. I'm Zhengzheng's girlfriend, right? Naturally, as a girlfriend, I must exercise some girlfriend privileges, although..." She lay on the pillow next to Lin Zhengran, looking into each other's eyes: "Zhengzheng looks so cute when doing such things, not quite how I imagined. I thought you would be rather fierce." Lin Zhengran grinned: "Where did that impression come from? It feels like you've mentioned me being fierce a few times, but I haven't lost my temper with Jingshi, have I?" She suddenly recalled her childhood and shook her head: "Hard to say." Lin Zhengran chuckled cryptically: "Really?" Jiang Jingshi giggled as well: "Anyway, sister is very scared of you." Habitually, Lin Zhengran gave her a gentle flick on the forehead. She yelped in surprise: "Zhengzheng actually hit me, see, I told you, you’re fierce." Lin Zhengran sighed and embraced her. The weak yet blissful Jiang Jingshi quietly savored Lin Zhengran’s heartbeat and his scent. They held each other without knowing how long had passed. Suddenly, Lin Zhengran asked, "Jingshi, haven’t you been sleeping well because of my relationship with He Qing, Lili, and Wen Wen?" In his arms, Jiang Jingshi opened her eyes, her long lashes fluttering. Her eyes brimmed with jealousy in an instant: "Yes, because Zhengzheng doesn’t even bother to hide it from me, blatantly treating them so well, eating with them, sitting together in class, even occasionally sharing intimate gestures. Sometimes I stand in the hallway and watch you chat with them during class, seeing the way you look at them with such affection. It makes me lose my appetite during lunch, let alone get a good night's sleep." For the first time, Jiang Jingshi voiced this kind of complaint to Lin Zhengran—a small one, but unprecedented, reflecting how much jealousy she, as a girlfriend, has harbored in her heart during this period. Lin Zhengran didn’t immediately explain his thoughts but continued to ask: "Anything else?" Jiang Jingshi held Lin Zhengran tighter: "Yes, ever since we started university, even though we see each other daily, you don’t message me as much anymore. Messages are down by a quarter compared to summer vacation. And the thing about needing documents today—is it about applying for day passes from campus? What is Zhengzheng planning?" Suddenly, she seemed aggrieved and increasingly so the more she spoke: "Don’t be deceived by how I appear; sister can be fierce too. No one at the company dares talk back to me, much less talk to me loud. Only you dare tease sister like this openly." She sniffled twice, holding tighter than before, and Lin Zhengran could feel dampness on his chest: "Even though I know I shouldn't be jealous, I’m not foolish. I knew long ago your relationships with those three aren’t simple, "But even knowing this, I still want to be with Zhengzheng. I want to be your girlfriend, even knowing you’re a bit of a flirt. Yet, however much I know, seeing the man I like pampering other women is painful." She could sense Lin Zhengran soothing her, stroking her long hair. "That’s all I wanted to say. Sorry for speaking selfishly." Lin Zhengran smiled: "What’s selfish about this? It just shows that Jingshi can get upset too, and you look quite cute when you’re upset." Jiang Jingshi lifted her head—this proud, elegant young lady of the Jiang family showing just a hint of vulnerability in front of her boyfriend. "Even if I am gentle with Zhengzheng, isn’t it still understandable to get upset over something like this? What's cute about that?" Lin Zhengran stroked her hair: "I have indeed spent less time with Jingshi these days. I’ll make more time for you in the future." Jiang Jingshi bit her lip: "Zhengzheng’s words always hold true." "Yes, so... Jingshi, do you agree to me having four girlfriends?" Jiang Jingshi hesitated before lightly kissing Lin Zhengran on the lips, showing a cute yet subtly discontent expression: "From the day Zhengzheng saved me, this life was yours. How could I disagree? I’ve given everything to you, but if you must apply for a day pass, I must go live there too! After all, we’re all sisters; I should be able to go too, right?" (End of chapter)
