Chapter 389: Harmony - Pretending to Cultivate in Kindergarten

Chapter 389: Harmony Han Wenwen clung to Lin Zhengran's arm. Now that they were sisters, there was no need to hide anything. After all, once they became sisters, Brother Zhengran would always try to treat them equally. The little fox used an unfamiliar way of addressing, "Qian Qian, do you want to live with us? Our home is not far from the school." Jiang Qian was a bit surprised, "Live together... is that okay?" Jiang Xueli, with a helpless gesture, crossed her arms and leaned nonchalantly against the sofa, casually saying, "Of course it’s okay. Although we used to be love rivals and guarded against each other, now that we are sisters, there’s nothing to guard against. Once you're on Zhengran's ship, sooner or later, you'll have to be candid." As she spoke, she inexplicably blushed and spread out a hand, "It just means it’ll be a little more crowded when we sleep at night." "More crowded?" He Qing, her face flushed, waved her hand to explain, "You'll understand when the time comes! It's hard to explain right now!" Jiang Qian looked at Jiang Xueli and He Qing. She didn’t understand their meaning. In matters of love, she thought living together with so many people would naturally mean separate beds. She never considered they'd share a single bed. However, the friendliness of the "three littles" was unexpected to her. She had always thought that, after such a long period of rivalry, even if she was with Lin Zhengran, it wouldn’t be all harmonious between her and them. She had already decided, being Lin Zhengran’s girlfriend, not to compete anymore. She would slowly build relationships with them, and one day they would truly become sisters. But she didn’t expect these three to be so unexpectedly warm. Noticing the surprise on her face, He Qing chuckled kindly, "Surprised? Putting aside the rival factor, we never actually disliked you. In fact, we quite like you. We’re all friends, right? And we've been classmates, so we'll naturally become close sisters someday." Han Wenwen spoke with a charming voice, "That's right. Putting aside the factor of being rivals, Qian Qian, you're not just beautiful with a good family background and no trouble at all. Even though you seem aloof, knowing you for this long, we've realized you have a good heart. You pursued Brother Zhengran openly and honestly." Jiang Qian slightly curled her lips into a smile, "You three are genuinely good girls." The three exchanged a glance and smiled. He Qing, in her sweet melodious voice, said, "Qian Qian, you look prettier when you smile." Jiang Qian blushed, lowering her head slightly, unsure how to respond. Everyone chatted and laughed, the atmosphere harmonious. But soon, there was a sudden knock on the door. It was Jiang Jingshi's voice, "He Qing? Lin Zhengran, are you there?" He Qing perked up, "It's Big Sister Jiang! I'll get the door!" She responded with a "Coming," then stood up to open the door. Upon seeing Jiang Jingshi at the door, He Qing naturally greeted, "Big Sister Jiang, you’re here?" Jiang Jingshi initially took a quick look around, seemingly seeing no outsiders, then covered her mouth to ask He Qing quietly, "No one else is here, right? I spent half the night thinking yesterday and finally came up with a way to keep my sister in check! I thought we might discuss it among the three of us." He Qing blinked, feeling a bit awkward, "Well... it might be a little late." "Huh? Late? What do you mean late?" He Qing fully opened the door, and soon Jiang Jingshi saw her sister sitting on the sofa in the corner. Plus, Han Wenwen, Jiang Xueli, and Lin Zhengran were all sitting very close to her. Closer than usual. He Qing laughed as she explained, "Lin Zhengran told us that yesterday afternoon, he started dating Jiang Qian, so we’re now five sisters. We don’t have to guard against each other anymore." Jiang Jingshi, her peach blossom eyes trembling, looked at He Qing incredulously, "What?! Zhengran and Qian Qian are together?! That quick?!" "It was rather sudden..." Jiang Jingshi then turned to look at her sister, their gazes crossing, too complex to describe. Now everyone was present, all seated on the sofa. However, Jiang Qian and Jiang Jingshi still sat far apart. They hadn’t reconciled that quickly. Attempts by others to mediate failed, ultimately it was Lin Zhengran who spoke, "Jingshi, Qian Qian." The sisters looked up together. Lin Zhengran offered them some space, "It’s lunchtime now. I’ll go with Wenwen and the others to the cafeteria to fetch lunch. You two can stay here and keep an eye out. If anyone comes looking, just have them wait a bit." The sisters nodded, understanding Lin Zhengran’s intention. The three littles and Lin Zhengran left to give the sisters space. In the silent student council president's office, the air was unusually still. Jiang Jingshi and Jiang Qian traded glances several times, unsure how to start a conversation. Finally, Jiang Jingshi sighed quietly, picked up a teacup, "Zhengran really moves fast, Qian Qian. Didn't expect you to actually win." "I'm sorry, Sister." Her unexpected response left Jiang Jingshi staring at her sister, who never admitted defeat. Jiang Qian looked at her sister, her voice cold but her eyes a bit softer, "That time when you brought Lin Zhengran home, though I had no choice—not being able to live without him—still, doing that in front of our parents and you was hurtful. After all, he was your boyfriend at that time, so I apologize." Jiang Jingshi blanked for a moment, then suddenly laughed, covering her mouth with the back of her hand, questioningly gentle, "Qian Qian apologizing? This is as rare as seeing the sun rise from the west. Have you changed since dating Zhengran?" Though conceding, Jiang Qian instinctively shot her sister a glare, "I only felt I should apologize this time. But now that I'm with Lin Zhengran, should a similar situation arise, I won't apologize again, because it's what I deserve." "You!" Jiang Jingshi was temporarily speechless but looked at her stubborn sister helplessly, "You're always that way, but at least you know how to apologize now. That's progress, so I won't scold you." Jiang Qian inexplicably snorted, turning her gaze to the tea table, "Have you thought about what to say to our parents? Now that we’re both with him, what do you think the chances are they’ll agree?" Jiang Jingshi snorted with a smile. Elegantly lifting her teacup, she took a slow sip, "Though we’ve always fought, if we sisters stand united, this won't be a big issue. Haven't we caused enough trouble together since childhood? It's just one more thing. We’ll handle it with persistence." Jiang Qian looked back at her sister, sharing a smile, "You're right... It's just a small problem." That afternoon, Lin Zhengran brought the three littles, Jiang Jingshi, and Jiang Qian back to the villa. It was Jiang Qian's first time there. Although she knew her sister stayed there with the others, she had never seen it in person. "So this is where you all live? It’s quite nice." It was no surprise. Although, when the four sisters brought Jiang Qian to the bedroom, showing her the bed that could fit seven people... Even this second lady blushed instantly, exclaiming in disbelief, "What... Do you all sleep together at night?" The three littles nodded, blushing, "Yes." Jiang Qian looked at her sister incredulously, "Even you? All the girls sleeping with Lin Zhengran?" Jiang Jingshi coughed bashfully but nodded, "You'll get used to it... A night or two, and it’ll be fine." Jiang Qian was practically steaming, "Is this really something you get used to..." At that moment, Han Wenwen whispered in Jiang Jingshi's ear, "Qian Qian hasn’t... done it with Brother Zhengran yet, has she?" Jiang Jingshi was momentarily stunned, "Right... I forgot about that. What should we do? She'll definitely feel shy." Unexpectedly, Jiang Qian, blushing, softly declared, "I didn't know you all were like this... But I still want to say, at least for my first time, I want it to be just the two of us..." All four girls waved their hands hurriedly, answer in unison, "No, no, that's not it! We just sleep on the same bed! For those kinds of things, we do them separately!" (Chapter end)
