Chapter 901: Xiao Chong Extra Story 13_3

She had to thank Xiao Chong; during this period, she had asked him for help with many questions. His various problem-solving approaches provided crucial assistance for her to tackle the key questions this time.

Indeed, a horse cannot get fat without nighttime feeding. No wonder everyone racks their brains trying to attend prestigious tutoring classes; the feeling of special attention is truly different.

Silently thanking Xiao Chong, Lin Wanwan instinctively glanced at the top of the list, where Xiao Chong’s name was written on both charts.

This one is truly stable.

But this stable first-place student didn’t come to school until the bell of the first class rang.

Lin Wanwan found this extremely strange, but she didn’t have a mobile phone or similar communication tools, so she couldn’t ask.

Fortunately, her desk mate was curious enough, and after the first class, started asking the classmates behind them about Xiao Chong’s whereabouts.

Mi Yunzhi said, "Ah Chong is on sick leave. It’s hard to imagine someone as strong as him would be the first in class to take sick leave."

Lin Wanwan’s expression was slightly startled as she thought to herself: So he caught a cold, was it because he wore only a short-sleeved basketball jersey while playing basketball yesterday morning?

As she pondered the reason for his illness, the "sick" person was actually at home on a spacious attic studio painting on a white cloth, showing no sign of sickness.

The class teacher had not the slightest doubt about the stable top student being on sick leave. Good students naturally have a trust filter that makes teachers believe them.

Xiao Chong’s sick leave lasted for three days. If not for the class teacher deciding to visit his home to check on him, it might have continued.

When he returned to school on the fourth day, classmates expressed their concern.

Even Lin Wanwan couldn’t help but turn around and ask him how he was, to which Xiao Chong naturally replied with a sunny, healthy smile.

Lin Wanwan was worried because Xiao Chong hadn’t appeared in the study room on time for three days.

The planned meals together didn’t happen because he said he was afraid of passing the illness to them.

But from today onward, Xiao Chong would be having meals with them again.

After school, the two rode bicycles home in sync, one behind the other.

Keeping distance at school was Lin Wanwan’s request; she was afraid of teasing from classmates.

High school students love to tease about boys and girls. Any hint of ambiguity would be broadcast to everyone.

Lin Wanwan didn’t want to be the center of attention.

Today’s dinner was exceptionally plentiful, with several types of seafood.

"Grandpa, did you buy so much food today because of Xiao Chong?"

Grandfather Lin brought out the last dish, scallion oil white crab, and laughed warmly: "Yes, and you like it too. Go call him over to eat, the food is ready."

"Oh, okay."

Just as Lin Wanwan was about to change her shoes and head out, Xiao Chong arrived just in time.

As long as Grandfather Lin was home, the courtyard and main gates were generally unlocked, so Xiao Chong could come in freely.

"You’re here, just in time for dinner," Lin Wanwan stopped her shoe-changing action and said.

Xiao Chong was carrying a paper bag and a telescopic rod and asked, "Hmm, were you going out?"

"No, I was going to call you next door."

"Oh." Xiao Chong nodded, "Look, your curtains have arrived."

Lin Wanwan reached out happily to take it, "Thank you."

Xiao Chong withdrew his hand, not handing it over, and directly said, "I’ll help you hang them after dinner."

Lin Wanwan thought about it; her room had no place that couldn’t be seen, so she thanked him, "Alright, then I’ll trouble you later."

"No problem."

The three sat at the small round table for dinner, and Xiao Chong appropriately praised Grandfather Lin’s culinary skills, making Grandfather Lin laugh heartily.

Who doesn’t love hearing compliments delivered with high emotional intelligence?

Lin Wanwan looked at her grandfather and then at Xiao Chong, admiring him. How does he manage to chat and joke with elders so effortlessly? No wonder school teachers all like him.

A studious, emotionally intelligent, articulate warm guy is hard not to like!

After dinner, as usual, Lin Wanwan rushed to clear the table before her grandfather could.

Xiao Chong followed into the kitchen and said, "Shall we use my dishwasher for the bowls?"

"No need, it’s just a few bowls." Lin Wanwan was about to turn on the tap to rinse them.

Xiao Chong had already started loading the bowls in a basin, and his tone wasn’t formal: "I’ll be coming over to eat from now on anyway, and the dishwasher goes unused, it’ll break down."

"Alright then."

Lin Wanwan didn’t really want to wash dishes, and seeing Xiao Chong insist, she naturally went along with it, besides, the two houses were close.

As for Grandfather Lin, he just remarked that they were fussing unnecessarily and didn’t interfere further.

After putting the dishes away, Xiao Chong said, "I plan to open a gate in the fence between our houses and pave a pebbled path. Grandpa agreed, so we won’t have to walk around the yard anymore, it’ll be much closer."

Indeed, it would save a lot of steps.

Lin Wanwan naturally had no objections to this.
