Chapter 993: Xiao Chong Extra Story 44_2
Lin Wanwan wondered, "With his popularity, it’s quite impressive that your dates haven’t been photographed."
Yan Yufei laughed, "That’s because I always go to his place directly, and we just stay home the whole time. I can stay there all day and night. I’m a nobody, so basically, no one pays attention to me."
Like this time, his schedule was really tight, and we hadn’t planned to meet. Then he had a last-minute schedule change, which freed up some time for a date."
Lin Wanwan sighed, "Sneaking around like this, don’t you feel wronged?"
Yan Yufei giggled, "Wronged? Not at all! Yang Qingfeng, you know, just being with him is worth it. He’s so handsome! Youth should be about no regrets; he was my dream when I was younger."
Lin Wanwan: "..."
She was convinced, this one is truly superficial, with such a good attitude.
Lin Wanwan asked herself if she could do it. Youth is so short; how could you spend it on a relationship destined to be bumpy?
The two finished whispering about this, picked some snacks at the campus supermarket, and when choosing hard persimmons for Chen Tianying, someone tapped Lin Wanwan’s shoulder in surprise.
"Hey, beautiful ladies, buying fruit?"
Yan Yufei looked up, saw Shi Liangming standing beside them, and showed a cold smile, "Yes, hello."
Lin Wanwan nodded with a faint smile, just for Xiao Chong’s sake.
"By the way, I have a few movie tickets for the weekend. Are you free?" He asked both of them but only looked at Yan Yufei.
Yan Yufei smiled slightly, "I’m not free. But if the handsome guy from your dorm goes, Wanwan might be free, right, Wanwan?"
"We rarely watch movies," Lin Wanwan replied.
The last time she watched a movie with Xiao Chong was during the winter break of their first year of high school.
"Alright." Shi Liangming shrugged and sensibly walked away after saying goodbye.
When they returned to their dorm, it was bustling; Chen Tianying’s hometown friends from the dorm upstairs were visiting, chatting with her, and Wu Xiangxiang had even paused her anime to join them.
Lin Wanwan heard something about national treasures and tycoons. While handing the hard persimmons to Chen Tianying, she asked, "What’s this about national treasures? Pandas?"
Chen Tianying showed her phone, explaining, "A painting by Xiao Chong was auctioned off for 4.9 billion!"
"Xiao Chong?" Lin Wanwan was momentarily stunned, then quickly realized they were talking about Great Tang Xiao Chong. After all, her Xiao Chong used the alias Chu Kuang in the art world.
And Xiao Chong’s paintings couldn’t just jump from seven figures to nine figures.
She took a glance at the painting trending online. Although she didn’t understand it, she was greatly awed. After all, it was a nine-figure-priced ancient masterpiece.
Thinking about her own artist acquaintance, Lin Wanwan jokingly sent Xiao Chong a message using her phone app: "I’m a princess of the Great Tang. Send me 50 to open the Space-Time Gate and restore the kingdom, and I’ll make you a Prince Consort."
Xiao Chong immediately sent over a red envelope, with a note: "Here! Princess, please check ◠‿◠ I’m investing early; can I be a Prince Consort in advance?"
Lin Wanwan: "o(︶︿︶)o Why aren’t you playing by the rules? I’m done."
Xiao Chong: "How does the princess want to play? I’ll accompany you anytime (๑╹ڡ╹)╭～♡~~"
Lin Wanwan: "I have to do my homework └(^O^)┘"
Xiao Chong: "Alright, then. I take my leave."
After teasing Xiao Chong for a while, Lin Wanwan put down her phone with a smile and started studying.

In the middle of January, winter break quietly arrived.
Lin Wanwan, dragging a suitcase, carrying gifts bought for her grandfather, flew home with Xiao Chong.
After months apart, Lin Wanwan turned eighteen, and her grandfather’s hair had grown whiter.
Lin Wanwan opened her suitcase, took out the massage cushion she bought with part-time job money for her grandfather, set it on a chair, plugged it in, and invited her grandfather to sit and enjoy a massage.
The whole operation made her grandfather so happy he couldn’t stop smiling, praising that she had grown up well.
"Grandpa, next year you don’t need to send me living expenses anymore. I have enough on my own."
Her grandfather chuckled, "You haven’t even started working yet; you’re still young. How can I let you rely on yourself? For now, focus on your studies. Don’t worry much about working part-time. I’m not too old yet to support you, so don’t worry."
Lin Wanwan hugged her grandfather’s arm, leaning her head against it and being coy, "Grandpa, my part-time work isn’t tiring. It’s just a side gig during my rest time. You know, for ribbon-cutting events and stuff, we just stand there; it’s very easy and a good way to earn money. Don’t worry."
