He Qing and Jiang Xueli's Questions

Summer was almost here, and the evening wind carried warmth.

The two of them looked at each other on the road, the little girl's double ponytails swaying, and the atmosphere inevitably turned a little strange.

But when Lin Zhengran heard her say that, he only pressed a hand to her head and kept walking forward. "No idea. Besides, do you even know what marrying someone means before you say you'll marry me?"

Jiang Xueli pushed his hand away. "Who says I don't know?! It just means marrying you and having babies, doesn't it?"

Lin Zhengran looked back in utter disbelief and saw that fellow say shyly, "But I'm only marrying you because you're pitiful, after all, so I can only have one with you. Don't expect too much."

He couldn't be bothered with this fellow.

Whoever took a kid's words seriously lost.

Seeing him walk farther and farther away, Jiang Xueli hurried after him again. "Hey! Walk slower! Don't you have any reaction at all after I said all that?! Big Dummy!"

When they got back to Lin Zhengran's house, Dad opened the door. It was a rest day today, so Dad and Mom were both home.

"Ranran's back?" Lin Yingjun opened the door after hearing the knock and saw Jiang Xueli behind his son.

This was already not Jiang Xueli's first time coming to Lin Zhengran's house. Ever since she learned that their homes were close to each other, she had come about three or four times.

Jiang Xueli greeted him shyly and stiffly. "Hello, Uncle. I came to walk Lin Zhengran home."

Lin Zhengran thought, walking me home is one thing, but what decent person insists on walking someone right to their front door?

Dad Lin Yingjun was usually a very easygoing person, but at this moment, as a parent, he was a little awkward. "Hello, Xiao Li."

The reason for the awkwardness was that his wife was in the living room answering the phone. When Lin Xiaoli heard her son come back, she ran over with the phone in hand. "Ranran's back? Perfect, Qingqing called you! Hurry and take the call."

Holding the phone, she saw Jiang Xueli at the doorway, and her anxious expression turned dazed and blank. Her mind went completely empty.

Jiang Xueli continued to greet her, half understanding and half not. "Hello, Aunt. I came to walk Lin Zhengran home."

Lin Xiaoli looked at her husband, and Lin Yingjun looked at his wife. Lin Xiaoli smiled awkwardly but politely. "Hello, Xiao Li. Have you had dinner? Why don't you eat with us?"

"No, Aunt. I haven't done my homework yet, so I have to go back and do it." Jiang Xueli looked at Lin Zhengran. "Then I'm going home, Lin Zhengran. See you next week." She waved and also said goodbye to Lin Zhengran's parents.

Lin Zhengran nodded. "Take it slow on the way back."

"Got it."

Lin Zhengran entered the house and took the phone from his mom. "Hello? What are you calling me for again?" As he spoke, he went to the bedroom.

Before going downstairs, Jiang Xueli looked at Lin Zhengran's tone while he was talking on the phone.

Qingqing sounded like a girl's name. Why did it feel a little familiar? Was she a classmate from school?

She slowly walked down the stairs and, in a daze, finally remembered something from around First or Second Grade.

There had been a female classmate who had always followed Lin Zhengran around!

Later, that girl disappeared. Had she moved? Or transferred schools? But if it was one of those two, why would they still be in contact after separating? Was she his relative? Younger sister? Her steps slowed, her double ponytails bouncing as she went downstairs, as if she was thinking about something.

Lin Yingjun and Lin Xiaoli quietly poked their heads out from the doorway.

They said softly, "Xiao Li, be careful on your way back. You're always welcome to come over and play."

Jiang Xueli was stunned when she heard this, then turned back shyly. "Thank you, Uncle and Aunt! I'll come find Lin Zhengran to play again if I get the chance! Goodbye, Uncle and Aunt!"

After saying that, she quickly went downstairs.

Lin Xiaoli nudged her husband with her elbow. "Wasn't that awkward?! Why didn't you warn me?"

Lin Yingjun was helpless. "How was I supposed to know the little girl would walk our son all the way to our front door? I never got treatment like that when I was little. Did Qingqing hear?"

"She definitely heard. The call was connected just now."

The couple sighed together.

Lin Yingjun said, "Why do I suddenly have this feeling that our son's marriage situation in the future is going to be really troublesome?"

Lin Xiaoli shook her head and sighed. "I feel the same way. Especially since this Xiao Li and Little He Qing both seem pretty good to me. And..." She looked at her husband. "Ranran's only in Elementary School..."

After walking into the bedroom, Lin Zhengran closed the door. On the other end of the phone, Little He Qing asked, "Lin Zhengran, did you just get back? Did you go out to play today?"

"Yeah. I wasn't home on Saturday."

Little He Qing gave an oh, then asked cautiously, "I might have heard wrong just now, but was that a girl's voice?"

Lin Zhengran sat down on the bed, perfectly natural. "A classmate in my class. I wanted something of hers, so I helped her out. I just went to her house to pick it up."

"Oh..." Little He Qing's expression on the other end was unknown. "Then why did she walk you home?"

Lin Zhengran's eyes were disdainful. "How would I know? Maybe because I didn't take that fellow's gift, she felt bad. What do you need? Say it."

Little He Qing heard that Lin Zhengran's tone was no different from before and felt slightly relieved.

"Oh, I recently made a good friend. She's the girl I mentioned to you last time, the one who looks like a little fox. Although lots of boys chase her, she's a pretty good person and always helps me. I found out we're neighbors too, so now we go to school together, leave school together, and eat together every day..."

Lin Zhengran saw the cup on the table and wanted to go to the living room to get some water, but as soon as he opened the door, he suddenly saw Dad and Mom watching TV. The moment they noticed he had come out, they abruptly sat up straight.

Mom even asked with concern, "Ranran, are you and Qingqing chatting okay? You didn't fight, did you?"

"Huh?" Lin Zhengran filled his cup with water. "Why would I fight with He Qing?"

Before they knew it, another two months passed.

The major threshold of level thirty spiritual energy was finally broken through smoothly when he advanced to Fifth Grade.

After another period of training, you successfully broke through to the great threshold of level 30. A new hidden ability had been unlocked, which would make you even more unstoppable in the martial world.

The new ability was Medium Limit—meaning that once each of the four ability values reached a certain number, they would undergo a qualitative change.

Your current ability values were as follows:

Strength: 13. When this value reached 50, you would gain the special ability to have muscles even without exercising.

Energy: 15. When this value reached 60, you would gain the special ability to go seven times in one night without feeling tired.

Physical Strength: 19. When this value reached 70, you would gain the special ability of doubled Physical Strength and tripled endurance when doing things.

Charm: 20. When this value reached 40, you would gain the special ability to make the other party feel twice as much goodwill toward you when you spoke or acted.

So the extra effects after these values were the so-called Medium Limit? Lin Zhengran just felt that, at a glance, something about these descriptions seemed not quite proper. And another year passed.

Sixth grade, the final year of elementary school, had finally arrived. Today was a special day in the small southern town.

The Lianxin Festival. It was said that if you went today and hung a wish Red String on a tree called the Heart's Desire Tree, Heaven would arrange a good partner for those without lovers, while those who did have lovers would live happily ever after.

So today, Little He Qing had specially asked her Bestie Han Wenwen to sneak out without telling the adults and go to the Lianxin Festival together to hang Red Strings.
