Chapter 952: Xiao Chong Extra Story 30_3
"Hmm." Lin Wanwan smiled, feeling proud, "He also led the basketball team to win the national high school league championship this year."
"Impressive." Su Dad sighed, "Yanwei, you should learn from your sister and brother-in-law. Look, theyâre both from Peking University."
Su Yanwei wailed, "Dad, do you know what it means to get into Peking University? Letâs not dream, okay? Iâd be thankful just to pass the undergraduate admission line."
When Lin Wanwan returned home, it was bustling inside and outside the yard.
Xiao Chong, who was being interrogated by various relatives and friends of the Lin Family in the living room, looked at Lin Wanwan like he had seen a family member, and invited everyone to his house next door for tea.
Since it was still early to go to the hotel, everyone was naturally interested when they heard they could go to Xiao Chongâs house.
After all, it was just next door, only a few steps away, so there was no reason not to go.
The layout was the same, but from the moment they entered Xiao Chongâs house, it was different from Lin Grandpaâs house, exuding the elegance of a scholarly family everywhere.
Xiao Chong sat upright before the tea table, demonstrating a set of Great Tang standard tea ceremonies, leaving the crowd waiting to drink tea in awe.
Tea was something everyone drank, but witnessing someone brew it with such smooth and elegant motions was something they had never seen before.
Even without drinking the tea, just watching Xiao Chong perform the whole process was enjoyable enough.
Gu Jingyu whispered in Lin Wanwanâs ear, "Where did you find such a top-notch handsome guy?"
Lin Wanwan shyly nudged her with her elbow, "Didnât you also find a handsome guy yourself?"
Lin Wanwan didnât know Liang Xingchi, but she had heard Gu Jingyu talk about how handsome he was.
After demonstrating the tea ceremony and serving the tea, Xiao Chong handed over the task of entertaining the guests to his parents and Lin Grandpa, then took Lin Wanwan and other peers to the attic study to read and rest.
Today was the engagement, and the attendees on both sides were all relatives. The only friend was Gu Jingyu, whom Lin Wanwan invited, due to Lin Grandpaâs limited social interactions.
For now, with Lin Grandpa still alive, there were still some cousins and clan relatives interacting. Once Lin Grandpa passes, itâs unlikely for Lin Wanwanâs generation to maintain contact.
Upon reaching the attic study, everyoneâs eyes lit up.
"Wow, this attic is really beautiful, it feels like a fairy tale cottage," Gu Jingyu exclaimed.
Lin Wanwan agreed, "It does feel like a fairy tale; reading here on a rainy day is quite comfortable."
The sound of rain on the glass skylight above was very lovely.
Gu Jingyu giggled, "Oh~ I get it~"
Embarrassed by the ambiguous implication, Lin Wanwanâs face flushed instantly. She opened her mouth to explain but then decided against it, realizing there was no need.
After all, no matter how Gu Jingyu perceived them now, it was fine.
Su Yanwei, accompanied by Xiao Chong, was in the gym playing with exercise equipment, while Lin Wanwan and Gu Jingyu read books.
After a while, Lin Wanwan said to Gu Jingyu, "Shall I take you to my room? I want to show you a painting."
Gu Jingyu closed her book with a smile, "Sure, letâs go."
The two went downstairs, and as they exited from the backyard, Gu Jingyu remarked in surprise, "You guys are quickâyour yards are connected, basically forming one household together. Your parents and in-laws are practically neighbors, so close."
"What do you mean in-laws and family? Itâs too early for that!"
"Hehe, but youâve already started calling them mom and dad, isnât it early?"
"Ugh, you really..." Lin Wanwan was at a loss for words.
After a pause, she added, "Honestly, it feels like a dream. Youâve been with your boyfriend for two years, right? Have you met his parents?"
Gu Jingyu wrinkled her delicate nose and shook her head, "Weâre not moving at your universe speed. To be honest, youâre the first one in our junior high group to get engaged. These days, relationships are all about breaking up and making up; engagements arenât really a thing anymore."
Lin Wanwan raised an eyebrow, "Great men have said that a relationship without the intention of marriage is just fooling around."
"Yes, yes, the great man is right, but have you guys fooled around?"
Gu Jingyu quickly followed up, making Lin Wanwan blush deeply, "Wow, youâve become so bold, I never wouldâve guessed!"
Gu Jingyu gave her a sidelong glance, "Havenât yet? Well, soon enough for sure. Men canât hold back; no matter how restrained they seem on the surface, deep down theyâre all wolves unless they canât or are gay, youâll find out soon."
The memory of that wild night on the results day came to Lin Wanwanâs mind, making her face even redder.
Xiao Chong might seem abstinent on the surface, but heâs quite wild beneath it indeed! However, she felt too shy to discuss such things, nor was she as open as Gu Jingyu.
She was even too scared to ask Gu Jingyu about her progress with her boyfriend, fearing a counter-question that might reveal herself.
