I'm pretending to be a fairy in kindergarten

At nine o'clock at night, the city would still be brightly lit and bustling with traffic.

The neon lights on the street were as bright as during the day.

But even in this small village not far from the town in the south, the streets seemed to be completely dark by nine o'clock.

Apart from the lights in each household, the village was no longer very bright, and the distant mountains were completely dark.

It was accompanied from time to time by the sounds of cats, dogs, and insects.

Lin Zhengran stood in the courtyard, gazing at the distant mountains, and remarked that Xiao Heqing's hometown had a pretty good environment.

The door opens to a view of green mountains and clear waters.

A moment later, the living room door opened, and Xiao Heqing saw Lin Zhengran walking towards her in the yard, saying cutely:

"Lin Zhengran, I've made your bed. I'm using my favorite blanket. If you feel uncomfortable sleeping in it later, I'll change it for you. My blanket is great, it's just that I haven't used it in a long time."

Lin Zhengran smiled and turned around upon hearing this.

Xiao Heqing was puzzled, her face slightly flushed: "What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing, Auntie and Grandma have already gone to sleep?"

Xiao Heqing nodded: "Grandma is old and goes to bed early, and Mom has to go to work tomorrow morning, so she's in bed too. Back in our hometown, apart from the young people, almost no one stays up late." She added:

"Oh, and Wenwen is looking at some photos of us when we were little in my bedroom. She's taking new ones and saving them to her phone."

Lin Zhengran could see what Han Wenwen was doing through the window, grunted in response, and then looked towards the dark mountains.

Little He Qing stared longingly at Lin Zhengran with her big eyes, slowly moving closer to him until she was right next to him.

She said apologetically, "Lin Zhengran, if you can't sleep tonight, Wenwen and I will come to find you in the middle of the night. We can go back to our room early in the morning, and Mom won't find out."

"No need, I think the environment here is very nice, I'll probably be able to get a good night's sleep."

Xiao Heqing said "oh" but was quite disappointed after hearing it. In fact, she hadn't slept with Lin Zhengran for more than a week.

She wanted to be held by Lin Zhengran while she slept, but she couldn't fall asleep.

Lin Zhengran glanced at her secretly and knew what the girl was thinking.

He Qing, clinging to Lin Zhengran's arm and pressing her head against his, asked, "What are you thinking about? What are you looking at?"

"Look at the mountains."

"What's so interesting about mountains? It's pitch black at night, you can't see anything."

"I can still see the outline, and I suddenly wondered, do you prefer the North or the South? Do you prefer living in the city or the countryside?"

Without hesitation, He Qing replied, "I like you more. I like wherever you are."

Lin Zhengran looked at Xiao Heqing with suspicion, but Xiao Heqing's expression was very serious: "It's true, I like to go wherever you are. I want to follow you. A girl should follow the boy she likes."

Lin Zhengran patted her head with his other hand: "When we separated when we were little, did you ever think that we might never see each other again in this lifetime?"

Xiao Heqing wanted to shake her head, but after hesitating, she nodded: "I have thought about it... I have thought that I will never see you again. Every time I have this thought, I want to cry and call you as soon as possible. I can feel at ease after hearing your voice."

"No wonder you always sound like you're crying when you call me." Lin Zhengran asked curiously, "When did you start liking me?"

Xiao Heqing's brain seemed to be on standby, as if she hadn't even considered this issue:
"I don't know. Maybe I liked you the first time we met? Because back then, everyone else bullied me, but you were the only one who was very kind to me, even though you were fierce. You would protect me and teach me how not to be bullied. So, as soon as I became aware of it, I liked you and wanted to be with you every day."

Lin Zhengran really thought He Qing was adorably silly; she hadn't changed much over the years.

"Silly girl." Xiao Heqing chuckled, "You rarely call me that, it actually sounds kind of cute."

Lin Zhengran took out a small box from his pocket. He had originally planned to give it to Xiao Heqing after visiting the Lianxin Festival, because he wanted to make his marriage proposal to Xiao Heqing more formal. However, these things depend on coincidence, and now was the best time.

"Hey, I've got something to show you."

He handed the small box to Xiao Heqing.

Xiao Heqing carefully took it: "What's this?"

"open to take a look."

Xiao Heqing gently opened the lid, revealing an exquisite diamond ring inside.

Xiao Heqing's eyes lit up in surprise: "A ring! What a beautiful ring! Lin Zhengran, is this yours? Or is it Sister Jiang's?"

Lin Zhengran casually tapped her on the head.

Xiao Heqing exclaimed "Ah!" and blinked her innocent eyes in confusion: "Why did you hit me?"

Lin Zhengran asked with a smile, "Why do you think this is Jing Shi's?"

"Because...only Sister Jiang usually likes to wear rings, and I remember Sister Jiang really liked this style of ring before...I thought Sister Jiang asked you to buy it for me." She whispered, "That's how I understood it, was I wrong?"

“You’re completely wrong. She wore it because…” Lin Zhengran sighed, “Anyway, this ring is for you. I made it for you myself.”

"For me? And it's handmade?!" Xiao Heqing's eyes sparkled, her face slightly flushed: "A...a ring for me?"

Xiao Heqing still knows the meaning of a boy giving a girl a ring; it means he's proposing marriage.
The matter was of great importance, which is why she hadn't thought about it that way just now.

However, Xiao Heqing was unsure whether Lin Zhengran knew about this. Perhaps he had just given her a ring casually, or maybe she was overthinking it.

But Lin Zhengran is so smart, there's no reason why the other party wouldn't know what he knows.

Xiao Heqing's face flushed red as she looked down at the beautiful diamond ring, tentatively whispering, "Lin Zhengran, do you know that diamond rings can have hidden meanings?"

"Of course I know, so before you put it on, I hope you'll promise me that you'll marry me after graduation and stay with me forever. Will you?"

After a moment of daze, Xiao Heqing stood there excitedly, her brain overloaded again, turning red and steaming like vapor.

Sure enough, Lin Zhengran is so smart, how could he not know something he himself knows?

Xiao Heqing stared at Lin Zhengran for a while, then finally obediently leaned against his shoulder, her eyes brimming with tears and her nose starting to sniffle, deeply moved: "Of course I'm willing, after all, you've been my husband in my heart for a very, very long time, I love you so much."

Lin Zhengran had to comfort Xiao Heqing and tell her not to cry, then picked up the ring from the box and put it on the ring finger of Xiao Heqing's left hand.

Xiao Heqing couldn't help but smile as she looked at the ring on her hand, overjoyed.

The two embraced tightly in the yard.

In the living room, Aunt He, who was about to go to the table to get a cup of water, secretly watched this scene and smiled with surprise and relief.

She turned and went back to the bedroom, pretending not to have seen anything, so as not to disturb the beautiful atmosphere of the young couple's romance.
