Pretending to Cultivate in Kindergarten-Chapter 143: A Date with the Little Fox

"Today, I went to bed and pulled the curtains shut. My husband and I were about to do that again. So, I brushed my teeth to keep my breath fresh and put on a lace top before heading to his bedroom, planning to…"

Little He Qing had barely read a few lines before her entire face turned red.

She snapped the book shut, biting her lip in embarrassment.

"What is this sinful book?! Who in the world would write something like this?!"

She shoved the book under her pillow and buried herself under the covers, muttering to herself:

"This kind of book should be destroyed! I won’t read it anymore! I was just dreaming about Lin Zhengran earlier—I should go back to that nice dream instead of reading this horrible thing! Damn you, Wenwen!"

But…

That night, despite only reading for five minutes, He Qing had her first ever inappropriate dream… and it involved Lin Zhengran.

A beautiful Saturday morning.

Han Wenwen skipped happily out of the dormitory.

But as she reached the school gates, she suddenly slowed down.

Because in the distance—

She saw Lin Zhengran standing there, talking to a girl.

Her expression subtly changed.

Then, she casually strolled forward, taking her time.

The girl in front of Lin Zhengran was cute, with a round face that made her look even more youthful.

She held a small envelope in her trembling hands, her face flushed red.

Behind her, a group of her friends hid at a distance, cheering her on quietly.

"You got this, babe! Go for it!"

The girl hesitated for a moment before stammering:

"S-Senpai… I’m from the high school next to yours. I’ve seen you so many times… and I was wondering if we could be friends?"

Before Lin Zhengran could even respond—

Han Wenwen had already stepped in with a sweet smile.

"Oh, this guy? He already has a girlfriend."

The girl froze, her face turning even redder.

"Huh?! R-Really?!"

Han Wenwen’s fox-like eyes gleamed mischievously.

"What do you think?"

The girl finally realized what she meant by "has a girlfriend".

"I-I didn’t know! I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to bother you!"

She panicked and ran away, her group of friends quickly rushing to comfort her.

Lin Zhengran watched her retreat, then turned back to Han Wenwen.

Han Wenwen, arms crossed, also watched the girl leave, her voice soft but teasing:

"Looks like all the girls in our school have already tried their luck, so now you’re attracting outside girls too? Lin Zhengran, do you just never stop?"

Lin Zhengran raised an eyebrow, noticing how she was clearly jealous but pretending to be calm.

So, he played along.

"Han Wenwen, when did I ever try to attract girls from other schools?"

Han Wenwen puffed up her cheeks, dropping the act.

"I saw it with my own eyes, and you’re still pretending?!"

"I was going to reject her. That counts as flirting?"

"Yes, it does!"

"That’s ridiculous."

She turned her head away, arms still crossed. "Hmph! I don’t care."

Lin Zhengran knocked her on the head.

"Ow!"

He ignored her fake protest and asked, "Where do you want to go today?"

Han Wenwen’s fox-like eyes sparkled.

She pulled out her phone, opened her notes app, and handed it to him.

Lin Zhengran glanced at the list.

"Only five places? That’s manageable."

Han Wenwen blinked.

"Five? No, no, scroll down."

Lin Zhengran swiped down—

And his face immediately turned deadpan.

There were over a hundred locations.

"...What?"

Han Wenwen explained proudly, "I’ve been collecting these spots little by little. A lot of couples go to these places, so I wanted to see them too!"

Her invisible fox ears twitched excitedly.

"Let’s start! We only have one day!"

Lin Zhengran sighed. "If we don’t finish, don’t blame me."

"Oh, I will blame you." She pouted playfully. "You always bully me."

"I do not."

She didn’t answer—just smiled mischievously.

Lin Zhengran hailed a taxi, and the two of them set off on their adventure.

Despite Han Wenwen’s calm and composed personality at school, once she was with Lin Zhengran, she completely let loose—

Like a fox set free in a giant playground.

She dragged him around the arcade, jumping from game to game.

She bought snacks and drinks without thinking, and whenever they passed by a stall, she kept asking:

"Zhengran, do you want to try this?"

"Zhengran, do you want to eat that?"

"Zhengran, what about this?"

Until finally—

"Han Wenwen, if you want it, just buy it. Can you even eat all of this?"

She pouted. "I just want a little bit of everything!"

And, of course, whenever she ate something—

She always took a bite first, then fed the rest to Lin Zhengran.

So, technically, she was eating—

But in reality, they were sharing everything.

The rides weren’t huge, but they had mini roller coasters and drop towers—

And Han Wenwen rode everything enthusiastically.

By the time they left, she was beaming with excitement—

Until she spotted something at the entrance.

A massive ice cream cone, the size of a forearm.

Her steps slowed.

She grabbed Lin Zhengran’s arm, her eyes sparkling like gold coins.

"Look, Zhengran! Look! It’s huge! I want to try it!"

Lin Zhengran followed her gaze—

And instantly knew that she wouldn’t finish it.

It was three times the size of a regular ice cream cone, and twice as expensive.

The money wasn’t the issue—

The issue was that Han Wenwen was infamous for not finishing big portions of food.

Lin Zhengran crossed his arms.

"You’re not going to finish it."

Han Wenwen pouted dramatically.

"I will! I promise! Just a few bites—please?"

She tightened her grip on his arm and shook him gently, her fox-like eyes shimmering with fake tears.

"Zhengran~ Pleeeeease~"

"...No."

"Ah?! So coldhearted!"

Lin Zhengran sighed. "If you really want it, we’ll share. But if you don’t finish it, I’m never buying you oversized food again."

Han Wenwen immediately lit up, hugging his arm.

"Deal!"

And so—

A few minutes later, Han Wenwen stood happily holding her giant ice cream, taking tiny bites—

And then shoving it into Lin Zhengran’s mouth to share.

"Are you sure you can finish it?"

Han Wenwen hesitated, biting her lip before flashing a guilty smile at Lin Zhengran.

"I just… wanted one bite."

Without hesitation, Lin Zhengran flicked her forehead.

"Ow!"

Feeling wronged, Han Wenwen leaned against his arm, clutching it tightly—completely unrepentant.

Just then, the ice cream vendor suddenly introduced a new mini version of the oversized ice cream.

Han Wenwen immediately panicked.

She clutched Lin Zhengran’s arm like her life depended on it.

"Look, look! There’s a small version! That one’s okay, right?!"

This time, Lin Zhengran sighed and gave in.

Han Wenwen happily licked her new mini ice cream, while checking where to go next…

And then…

Her stomach rumbled ominously.

1:00 PM – Outside the Women's Restroom

This was already her third trip to the bathroom in the past thirty minutes.

When she finally came out, she wobbled weakly toward Lin Zhengran and leaned against his arm.

Her fox-like eyes looked pitiful.

"Zhengran gege… that ice cream was poisoned…"

Lin Zhengran held back a laugh.

"I don’t think the ice cream was the problem. The issue was you—you ate too much random junk, skipped breakfast on purpose, and now you're paying for it."

Han Wenwen pouted, looking up at him with big, watery eyes.

"But… but you ate some too…"

Lin Zhengran smirked.

Han Wenwen finally accepted reality.

"Okay, okay. I thought I had a strong stomach, but I guess I was wrong."

Lin Zhengran shook his head, but his voice was gentle. "You’re already stronger than most people. You just overdid it."

He glanced at her. "Feeling better now? Do you want to keep going or take a break?"

Han Wenwen leaned even closer, her voice soft.

"I wanna go home."

Lin Zhengran chuckled. "You were so confident earlier about visiting a hundred places. And now you’re done after just one morning?"

Han Wenwen whined, her voice filled with a pitiful charm.

"My tummy hurts… I can’t walk anymore… I just wanna go home and lie in your arms for a bit."

Lin Zhengran sighed but didn’t refuse.

"Fine. But let’s stop by a pharmacy on the way back."

"Mhm~"

On the Way Home – An Unexpected Encounter

As they rode in the taxi, Han Wenwen spotted something on the roadside—

A stall selling plush toys.

One particular plush caught their attention simultaneously.

It was a massive plush dog, almost half the size of a person.

For some reason, both Han Wenwen and Lin Zhengran found themselves staring at it.

After a moment—

Han Wenwen suddenly burst into giggles, clutching her stomach.

"Zhengran gege, I can’t—!"

She could barely breathe from laughing so hard.

"Why does that dog… kind of look like you?!"

Lin Zhengran raised an eyebrow.

Han Wenwen quickly covered her mouth, shaking her head.

Her voice dropped to a tiny whisper.

"Wenwen didn’t say anything. Zhengran gege didn’t hear anything."

Still giggling, she tugged his sleeve gently, her meaning clear—

She wanted it.

Lin Zhengran was momentarily speechless.

Because, honestly…

It did look a little like him.

Especially the brows and the overall aura.

After a brief pause, he sighed and paid for it in full.

The Ride Home

Sitting in the taxi, Han Wenwen hugged her new plush dog tightly.

Her laughter filled the car.

Her stomach hurt even more from laughing, but she didn’t care.

"I can’t believe this! How is this so funny?!"

Then, her laughter softened, turning into a contented smile.

She nuzzled against the plush dog, murmuring happily:

"With this dog, I’ll never feel lonely at night again~"
