Pretending to Cultivate in Kindergarten-Chapter 204: The Second Time Booking a Room
The dyeing process took about two hours.
During this entire time, Little Fox Han Wenwen sat in a milk tea shop across the street, sipping her drink while keeping a close eye on them.
She was relentless.
Even though she couldn’t see exactly what was happening inside the salon, as long as they didn’t go book a hotel room, she could tolerate it.
But to her horror, after Lin Zhengran and Jiang Xueli walked out of the salon, they didn’t head to a restaurant for a proper meal. Instead, they bought some food from a fast-food place.
Han Wenwen, lurking behind them, hid at a corner, carefully tucking away her nine invisible fox tails.
Can’t let my fox tail slip out.
She frowned. Fast food? Why wouldn’t they sit down for a proper meal on a date?
Her fox-like eyes lingered on Jiang Xueli’s golden twin ponytails, and she froze for a moment, genuinely impressed.
"Lily looks really good with blonde hair. Her looks leveled up several notches."
She glanced at her own long, dark hair and hesitated.
Should I dye mine too? But what color would even suit me? Maybe I should ask Zhengran-ge later…
While she muttered to herself, Lin Zhengran and Jiang Xueli finished buying their food and got into a taxi, holding hands.
Han Wenwen quickly followed.
Then, she saw where they were going.
A hotel.
The little fox, still in her taxi, practically exploded.
"ARE YOU SERIOUS?!"
She watched as the two of them got out of the car and walked straight into the hotel lobby.
Panicked, she grabbed her phone and rapidly spammed Lin Zhengran with angry fox emojis, claws out, scratching at a screen.
Then, she added a message:
"Zhengran-ge, what are you and Lily doing? Where are you two having your date?"
—
Inside the hotel lobby, Lin Zhengran felt his phone buzzing like crazy in his pocket.
He took it out and checked the messages, a small smirk appearing on his face.
Jiang Xueli, still blushing, saw him looking at his phone and asked curiously, "What’s up, Zhengran? Who’s messaging you?"
Lin Zhengran casually replied, "A very well-bred canine species."
At this moment, Jiang Xueli’s brain was only functioning at half capacity, and with her thoughts completely scrambled, she couldn’t even process what ‘canine species’ referred to.
She had no idea it was Han Wenwen.
Lin Zhengran quickly sent a reply.
—
Outside, Han Wenwen, still lurking, received a message from him:
"I’ll come out and talk to you in a bit. Just wait outside."
She blinked in shock.
Wait… does he know I’m following them?
No way. I was so careful.
She shook her head. Whatever. That’s not important.
Just as she was about to text him again—
Another message popped up.
"Lily and I are booking a room first. I’ll talk to you later. There’s a café nearby, so just grab a drink and wait. I’ll probably be a while."
Han Wenwen’s fox eyes widened.
WHAT?!
She was furious.
But no matter how frustrated she was, she knew that as Zhengran-ge’s little fox, she couldn’t just barge in and interrupt. That would definitely piss him off.
But…
She glared at the hotel, her fox eyes brimming with jealousy.
"Zhengran-ge… he can’t seriously be giving his first time to Lily, right? Shouldn’t he do that with me first?"
—
Inside the hotel, Lin Zhengran put his phone away.
At the front desk, the receptionist asked, "A king-sized bed? Temporary stay or overnight?"
Lin Zhengran replied smoothly, "A king-sized room, temporary stay. Here’s my ID."
Then, he turned to Jiang Xueli. "Did you bring yours?"
Jiang Xueli, still flushed, nodded and fumbled in her pocket, pulling out her ID.
She had actually brought it with her on purpose when she left the house that morning.
At the time, she wasn’t sure if it would actually be used, but just in case Zhengran had any ideas…
Who knew it would actually come in handy?!
The receptionist took their IDs and registered the room.
Then, she handed them a keycard. "Room 207, second floor."
Lin Zhengran took the card, thanked her, and pulled Jiang Xueli toward the stairs.
This was now Jiang Xueli’s second time booking a hotel room with Lin Zhengran.
Having experienced it once before, she was much more familiar with the environment.
But this time, what she was really nervous about was what was about to happen inside.
As they walked, her free hand clenched tightly, her lips pressed together. She could clearly hear her own racing heartbeat.
She glanced up at Lin Zhengran’s handsome profile.
"Z-Zhengran…"
"Hm?" Lin Zhengran turned to her, their footsteps still moving.
Jiang Xueli tensed up, stammering, "I-I’m a little nervous. Not scared! Just… nervous. Are you nervous?"
Lin Zhengran could feel the sweat in her palm.
Smiling, he reassured her, "Don’t worry. Just relax and enjoy it when the time comes."
Jiang Xueli’s heart skipped several beats. She quickly averted her gaze.
"Enjoy… what kind of word is that…"
—
Beep!
The hotel room door unlocked.
Compared to the hotel they had booked near their school last time, this one was noticeably more upscale.
It had a cozy ambiance, a large bathroom, and a king-sized bed.
But this time, there was no couch—only a big bed.
And scattered rose petals.
And… a remote control on the bed.
Jiang Xueli, having watched plenty of movies, turned beet red the moment she saw it.
"R-Remote control?!"
Lin Zhengran also spotted it and casually commented, "That’ll come in handy later. That’s the main reason I picked this place."
"Huh—?!"
Jiang Xueli’s ears turned a deep shade of red.
What is he planning to do to me?! What does he mean by that?!
Lin Zhengran placed the shopping bags with their new clothes aside.
Jiang Xueli, too nervous to move, only snapped back to reality when he gently reminded her to put down the food.
Then—
Lin Zhengran took off his jacket.
Then his shirt.
Jiang Xueli stared at his toned, sculpted muscles, her breathing suddenly heavier.
Her gaze flickered to the large window.
Then, she made a bold move—
She walked over and drew the curtains shut, plunging the room into dim lighting.
Lin Zhengran chuckled at her nervous yet decisive actions.
"You showered this morning, right? You smelled nice when I saw you earlier."
Jiang Xueli fidgeted. "Mm… I always shower before seeing you. I wash up really thoroughly."
"I didn’t shower last night. I’ll take a quick one—ten minutes."
Jiang Xueli swallowed hard.
"Mm. No rush… You have four hours to play anyway."
"Me? Play?"
Jiang Xueli clapped a hand over her mouth, realizing what she had just implied.
Lin Zhengran stepped closer and gently touched her cheek.
Jiang Xueli felt like she was floating.
Instinctively, she tilted her head up, her eyes trembling as she looked at him.
Lin Zhengran twirled a golden ponytail around his fingers.
"It really does look good. I’ll make sure to play with it properly later."
Then, he turned and entered the bathroom, locking the door behind him.

Jiang Xueli, left sitting on the bed, buried her face in her hands.
Lying down, she gripped the blanket, her heart racing as she whispered frantically,
"I’m so nervous! I’m so nervous! I’m so nervous!! What will it feel like? It shouldn’t hurt, right?"
She gulped.
No, I read about this online. As long as the girl isn’t scared, it doesn’t hurt—it’s supposed to feel really good. And guys like it too…
—
From the bathroom, the sound of running water filled the room.
Then, Lin Zhengran’s voice came through the barely soundproof door.
"This bathroom has almost no noise isolation. I can hear everything you’re saying."
"…Huh?!"
Jiang Xueli shot upright, mortified.
"You—! B-Big idiot! Zhengran, you big idiot! Why didn’t you tell me sooner?!"
