Chapter 351: The Bedroom - Pretending to Cultivate in Kindergarten
Chapter 351: The Bedroom Jiang Jingshi snuggled up against Lin Zhengran, her long hair cascading over her shoulders, as she lightly bit her lip. Upon hearing a statement, the three younger women turned their gaze to Lin Zhengran, who was in the middle. They exchanged glances, and in the silent, dark bedroom, each of them turned to lean against Lin Zhengran. "It's a bit cramped," commented He Qing. Lin Zhengran looked at everyone and suggested, "He Qing, Wenwen, you two lean down a bit, and Jingshi and Xueli, move up a bit. That way, I can hold all of you." After a simple readjustment, everyone ended up resembling a tree, with Lin Zhengran as the trunk. The four women clung to him like sloths. For some reason, Jiang Jingshi suddenly laughed, "Are we going to sleep like this every night from now on?" In a cute voice, Jiang Xueli remarked, "This is fine for us four, cuddling you feels like hugging a big stuffed toy. But if we sleep like this often, won't you get numb, Zhengran? You can't move at all in this state." Han Wenwen and He Qing rested their heads on Lin Zhengran's chest. He Qing looked up, "Lin Zhengran, can you actually sleep like this? You can't move an inch, like a wooden doll." Lin Zhengran acknowledged the reality, "There's no choice; you gain some, you lose some. I wanted four girlfriends, so if I get numb, so be it. But sleeping isn't a problem. You four aren't heavy. At most, it feels like a gentle weight." In fact, getting numb wasn't a concern for Lin Zhengran, because his physique was extraordinary. Each of the four women weighed less than 100 pounds, and they weren't pressing fully on him. Holding them was effortless. Lin Zhengran explained further, "Anyway, we don't have to sleep like this every day. Tonight, I'm holding all of you to show that now that we're living together, you can be more relaxed. Sleep however you want—no need to lie still like before." He added, "I've seen how you sleep, and none of you sleep soundly. Even He Qing, who is usually well-behaved, slips into my arms when asleep. So, don't hold back." Embarrassed, He Qing buried her face in Lin Zhengran's stomach upon hearing those words. Han Wenwen inquired, "So, Zhengran, are you saying we can do whatever we want?" "Yes, just make yourselves comfortable." Han Wenwen, satisfied with the permission, suddenly bit Lin Zhengran's belly. Everyone witnessed this, including Lin Zhengran. "Wenwen, what are you doing?" he asked. Han Wenwen replied jealously, "Nothing. You said we could do as we like, and since you can't move now, I thought I'd seize the chance. I just wanted a taste." She then playfully encouraged He Qing, "Xiao Qingqing, do you want to try biting Zhengran's belly too? It's fun, and he can't move anyway." He Qing, eyes flushed, glanced at Han Wenwen. Whether it was fun or not, she wasn't sure, but she certainly had the urge. So, driven by impulse, she bit the other side of Lin Zhengran's stomach. Lin Zhengran was speechless. Seeing her sisters doing something so inexplicable, Jiang Xueli curiously said, "What are you two doing?" Yet, she also tried nibbling Lin Zhengran's ear: "I want to try too." Jiang Jingshi's heart raced as she gently said, "Zhengran, I guess I can do whatever I want too." She first nibbled on Lin Zhengran's ear, then his neck. Lin Zhengran couldn't comprehend what these four were up to. "Three, two... one!" The four women stopped. Lin Zhengran sighed, "Don't look for trouble, you four, or none of us will sleep tonight." The four blushed, understanding his warning. They dared not provoke further. Lin Zhengran instructed, "Now, repeat after me: goodnight." In unison, they replied, "Goodnight~" Thus, their first night together passed peacefully. Though they started sleeping in neat positions, by morning, the four women ended up in various poses, still sleeping soundly on top of him. A few days went by, and the five of them continued to sleep together as before. Initially awkward, they began to grow accustomed to it by the second night. By the third night, the four women quickly found their spots to cling to Lin Zhengran as soon as they went to bed. While the bed was large, only the middle portion was effectively used. A week later, on Friday, there was only one class in the morning. After class, with nothing else to do, the three younger women planned to head back to the villa to relax, hoping to make the most of a restful three-day weekend. As they left class and returned to the villa, they saw Jiang Jingshi, elegantly wearing high heels and white-framed glasses, walking through the large classroom. The three girls approached her with a smile, greeting, "Hello, Instructor!" Jiang Jingshi looked over at them, smiling but discreet to avoid others noticing, "Hello, you three. Do you need something from the teacher?" Jiang Xueli checked that no one nearby was paying attention and whispered, "Sister Jiang, we're free this afternoon and plan to go back to the villa with Zhengran. Are you busy this afternoon?" He Qing softly suggested, "If not, let's go shopping in the afternoon." Jiang Jingshi looked regretful and responded quietly, "I have some things to handle this afternoon. I might be back late. If you want to go shopping, you'll have to wait until around 3 PM." Han Wenwen proposed, "Then we'll wait until 3 PM for you to come back so we can go shopping together." He Qing and Jiang Xueli nodded in agreement. Jiang Jingshi smiled, finding these past few nights with the girls enjoyable. Each one was adorable. No wonder Zhengran was so fond of them. In the villa after 1 PM, Han Wenwen and He Qing sat on the living room sofa, munching on chips while watching TV. In her dedicated music room, Xueli played guitar and sang. Lin Zhengran listened to the rhythm beside her. After finishing her song, Jiang Xueli asked, "How was it, Zhengran?!" "You did well this time. Your voice is steadier than before." Pleased by the compliment, she was about to speak when her phone rang. It was a call from her home. Picking it up, Jiang Xueli answered, "Hello, Mom and Dad? What's up?" Her mother's voice over the phone sounded hesitant and anxious, whispered low, "Xueli, something's happened at home. Don't come back for now—stay away for a while." "What?" Jiang Xueli, putting down her guitar, looked at Lin Zhengran nervously, "What do you mean, Mom? Don't scare me. What's going on?" "Well… your dad recently invested in the factory and became the manager. But the owner disappeared last week with the money, and now our family owes a huge debt to the factory. The workers are refusing to leave our home," her mother explained tearfully. "What?" Jiang Xueli listened, frowning at Lin Zhengran. Lin Zhengran stood up, offering his hand, "I'll go back with you to check it out." (End of Chapter)
