Chapter 390: Breaking Through to Level Ninety - Pretending to Cultivate in Kindergarten
**Chapter 390: Breaking Through to Level Ninety** Before going to bed, one needs to take a bath. Though Jiang Qian appears aloof and indifferent to most things, she isn’t accustomed to doing this particular thing with others. So, when the other women asked if she'd like to take a bath together, Jiang Qian immediately declined: "I'll just do it on my own." Thus, around seven in the evening, the door to the villa's bathroom swung open. The three other girls were already used to soaking in the tub when Jiang Jing Shi walked in holding a new bottle of shower gel. "This is a new product, said to be excellent. Let's give it a try today." He Qing, one of the three, asked shyly, "Sister Jiang, where's Qian Qian? Is she still going to bathe alone?" Jiang Jing Shi put down the shower gel and replied, "I didn't ask her again, but knowing my sister's personality, it wouldn't help. We'll just bring her over in a bit." Jiang Xue Li exclaimed, “Bring her over?” Jiang Jing Shi smiled enigmatically: “Haven't I mentioned before? Though Qian Qian seems cold, she’s really just a shy little girl at heart. If it’s something she's displeased about, she'll clearly show anger or distaste. But if it’s something she wants but is too embarrassed to admit, she'll be hesitant and silent, similar to how Li Li used to be.” Jiang Xue Li protested, "Am I tsundere? Why does everyone think I'm tsundere?! I've changed my personality ages ago!" All three girls responded in unison, "When did you change? We didn’t notice." Jiang Xue Li could only helplessly grumble, submerging half her face into the tub with a huff, murmuring, "Fine... tsundere if you will, it doesn't matter since Zheng Ran finds it cute." Jiang Jing Shi continued: “So earlier, when we asked Qian Qian if she'd like to join us, she hesitated for several seconds before saying she'd rather bathe alone. This shows she was willing, just too embarrassed to admit it. She'll definitely come down later, and then I can just bring her over." The others exchanged glances and smiled knowingly. With Jiang Jing Shi as her sister, they naturally understood Jiang Qian even more swiftly. Indeed, just as Jiang Jing Shi predicted, although Jiang Qian said she would bathe alone, she soon appeared with a bathrobe, standing at the bathroom door in a daze. Suddenly, the bathroom door flung open. Jiang Jing Shi looked at her sister warmly. Jiang Qian looked up at her sister with confusion. “Come in, Qian Qian!” Her sister pulled her in gently. Thus, the five of them ended up bathing together. When women are bare and open with each other, bonds are quickly strengthened. With their personalities well-matched and knowing they would be living together in the future, no internal barriers were raised. After bathing, Jiang Qian couldn't help but ask, "You'll be wearing pajamas to bed, right?" A brief silence followed. Blushing, He Qing said, "We aren’t as chaotic as you imagine. Sleeping just means sleeping. As for other things, we draw lots." "Drawing lots?" Jiang Qian was curious. "Yes, one person a week," Jiang Xue Li quickly covered He Qing's mouth in embarrassment, preventing her from continuing. Han Wen Wen, smiling, explained: “For now, such matters are a bit early for Jiang Qian. When your relationship with Brother Zheng Ran reaches a certain level, he will naturally explain it to you.” Jiang Qian doesn't quite understand matters between men and women but senses from their discussion that it’s likely something intimate. She nodded silently, choosing not to inquire further. That night, the moonlight was bright, and the moon was especially large. Jiang Qian lay beside Lin Zheng Ran like everyone else, nestled in his arms. Having only held hands and kissed before, Jiang Qian blushed furiously, remaining quiet. The others, initially lying naturally, found themselves affected by the atmosphere, surprised by how shy Jiang Qian appeared tonight. She was usually so lofty and fearless. Yet, now her face was this red. Lin Zheng Ran asked gently, "Is that comfortable for you, Qian Qian? You can change positions if it's not." Jiang Qian's voice, softer and slightly coquettish, replied, "It's fine, just holding me like this is enough. I can fall asleep." She closed her eyes, resting her face against Lin Zheng Ran's chest. The other girls blushed at this exchange. Especially Jiang Jing Shi, who had never seen such an expression on her sister's face, as if Jiang Qian's shyness was a hidden trait she had just discovered.
