Chapter 984: Xiao Chong Extra Story 41_2
Xiao Chong said something outside the door, then pushed it open and walked in.
Seeing Lin Wanwan looking lazy, he laughed, walked over, picked her up, and walked out the door.
Lin Wanwan obediently wrapped her arms around his neck and he placed her on a chair by the dining table.
Xiao Chong had also changed out of his pajamas into loungewear, looking fresh, clean, and like a gentleman with a carefree and serious demeanor.
But at this moment, looking at him, Lin Wanwan could only think of his most greedy appearance at night, which felt very conflicting.
She buried her face into the bowl of porridge, trying hard to dispel the inappropriate images in her mind.
The breakfast was a simple rice soup with poached eggs and pickled side dishes, along with fermented tofu, basically a classic Yongcheng breakfast, which Lin Wanwan had eaten since she was young and found very delicious.
During this breakfast, the two of them kept silent.
After breakfast, Lin Wanwan sat cross-legged on the floor in front of the balcony’s floor-to-ceiling window, holding a pillow. In front of her was the snowy view outside, and in her ears was the sound of Xiao Chong playing the zither.
The biggest change to this living room was the installation of soundproof windows and mats, all because Xiao Chong occasionally needed to do live streaming.
Xiao Chong’s zither live stream only lasted for about ten minutes.
The time was short, but it was all essence, with every second sounding like the music of the heavens. His playing was so engaging that it would involuntarily capture one’s heart and mind.
Lin Wanwan had heard him play countless times, but every time she was still amazed.
When the music ended, it still reverberated in the air. After waiting for a moment and hearing no more music,
Lin Wanwan gradually returned from the melody and was about to turn her head to look at Xiao Chong.
But he had already come over, hugged his fiancée from behind, and inhaled the scent of the shampoo on her hair.
Lin Wanwan stiffened, and just as she was about to move away, Xiao Chong spoke: "Just hugging, nothing more."
"...You’re lying." She could already feel the change in his body pressed against hers.
Previously she might have been a bit naive, but after helping him twice last night, she was now very aware.
Xiao Chong was silent for a moment, then said: "I really don’t intend anything, this is just a normal reaction at this age, beyond my control. Even if I don’t hug you, just looking at you would have this effect."
Lin Wanwan blushed, remained silent for a while, but felt her body getting hotter and hotter, all his body temperature spreading over. Her head was about to spin: "Let me go, don’t hug me."
Xiao Chong not only didn’t let go, but tightened his embrace: "Wanwan, I miss you so much."
Lin Wanwan was speechless: "I’m right here, what do you miss?"
Xiao Chong rested his chin on her shoulder with a tint of a whining tone: "I miss you so much every day, and you don’t want to move in with me."
Lin Wanwan immediately made her stance clear: "No, I don’t want to move out. We’re together three meals a day every day, isn’t that enough?"
She paused then said, "I can come over on weekends."
"Alright then." Xiao Chong sighed.
Lin Wanwan didn’t soften her heart due to the loss he intentionally showed. If she really lived with Xiao Chong, she might think about staying in bed all day and wouldn’t be able to study!
Xiao Chong could study easily, but she couldn’t.
After entering this university, Lin Wanwan found out sometimes intelligence seemed to have boundaries.
Not only Xiao Chong, but even her dorm mate Wu Xiangxiang made Lin Wanwan feel like giving admiration.
The other would just switch thoughts when tired from studying and would learn Japanese while watching Japanese dramas and anime on the computer, which made English learning a tough task for Lin Wanwan seem even tougher.
Lin Wanwan knew she wasn’t someone who could rely on talent for success.
Wu Xiangxiang had an amazing memory and still practiced oral pronunciation every morning, so why could she slack off?
If intelligence wasn’t outstanding, perseverance was necessary. No one succeeds effortlessly.
She had to work hard to increase her reading, memorize books, and prepare for civil service exams and certifications in the future.
If she could enter a public institution or pass the civil service exam, she wouldn’t plan on pursuing further studies because she wanted to start earning money to support her grandfather as soon as possible.
Now she was spending Xiao Chong’s money, which made her feel unconfident in persuading her grandfather to stop working and enjoy retirement at home.
She had consulted experts, and with her school’s reputation and major, finding a job in the future shouldn’t be difficult.
She might not earn a lot in a year, but going back to Yongcheng or applying for a spot in a city of the same level, earning around 200,000 to 300,000 annually with housing fund included wasn’t out of the question, which was enough to support her grandfather.
