Chapter 954: Xiao Chong Extra Story 31_2
No, I canât look more, one must not covet a friendâs wife.
After Lu Shouyue finished his drink, he waved goodbye to Xiao Chong and took the elevator to the top-floor suite to rest.
That night, he had a particularly outrageous dream, in which he actually married Xiao Chongâs fiancĂ©eâfuture grown-up version.
Upon waking up the next day, Lu Shouyue decided not to meet Xiao Chong anytime soon, feeling too embarrassed to face him.
Three days after the engagement banquet, Lin Wanwanâs grandpa took her to Xiao Chongâs family at the Yongda family compound to return the gifts: cigarettes, alcohol, tea, and supplements, completing the engagement ceremony.
With a major life event completed, Lin Wanwan continued to work hard for her future living expenses, beginning a new part-time job.
She found a job as a tutor for a high school girl who was about to enter her third year, teaching her for three hours every afternoon, which gave her plenty of free time.
Lin Wanwan used her first paycheck from this job to buy her grandpa a one-horsepower air conditioner. The Hisense air conditioner she ordered online cost 2,600, and her salary covered it entirely.
She didnât install one in her own room because she was about to start university, and for at least four years, sheâd rarely live in this room, so it would be a waste.
However, Xiao Chong didnât agree with this. He previously had no standing to interfere, but now, as her fiancĂ©, he felt confident enough to plan for a Daikin air conditioner to be installed in Lin Wanwanâs room.
How could she sleep during such a hot summer without air conditioning?
When Lin Wanwan returned from her half-day of tutoring, she found her room already equipped with an air conditioner and was stunned for a moment.
Her grandpa, however, was all smiles and very pleased, thinking a granddaughterâs husband who knows how to care is a great asset.
Moreover, Xiao Chong told him that he bought it with his competition prize money, not using his parentâs money, which made Lin Wanwanâs grandpa especially satisfied.
See this granddaughterâs husband; he hasnât even graduated yet and can earn so much just from studying.
Indeed, studying well really pays off.
In late July, Lin Wanwan received her admission notice from Peking University.
Her grandpa held a lively family feast, with representatives from each family coming to the old ancestral hall, whether free or not.
This was the first descendant of the Lin family to get into Peking University, worthy of a grand feast with five sacrificial animals and an ancestral hall gathering!
Since the relocation, everyone was spread across various districts, and it had been a long time since the family had been so lively.
Originally, Lin Wanwan was just a granddaughter, and although her surname was changed to Lin, she wasnât in the family genealogy because she would get married out in the future.
But now things were different; with the notice from Peking University, it was like a celestial sign of good fortune, and even the ancestors would be smiling. Her name had to be on the family tree.
Even if she marries out in the future, her name will remain in the genealogy.
After the family feast, led by the current Clan Leader and a few wealthy family members, they pooled together 20,000 as a bonus for Lin Wanwan getting into Peking University.
Yongcheng is a second-tier city, and among the counties and cities, many people get into Qingbei; this year alone, the Seventh Middle School had ten people (including guaranteed admissions), not to mention the provinceâs top schools.
Thatâs why thereâs none of that news about local entrepreneurs handing out bonuses to Qingbei students; there are just too many local talents for bonuses to cover everyone.
But when Xiao Chong won an IMO gold medal, he received multiple bonuses from his school, the education bureau, and others, as the IMO gold medal was still rare in Yongcheng.
At that time, Xiao Chong was even dubbed the "gold medal school heartthrob," and for a while, his popularity greatly exceeded that of regular IMO gold medalists.
A local real estate company, riding on Xiao Chongâs popularity, announced gifting him an apartment as a reward, using it as a marketing strategy that trended for a day, boosting the reputation of their under-construction property.
Such good fortune Lin Wanwan couldnât even dream of; her abilities wouldnât allow it.
For her, getting into Peking University was already a stroke of incredible luck.
Ever since her relationship with Xiao Chong became public, he would come to find her openly every day.
Even though theyâve finished the college entrance exams, the villa near the school had fulfilled its mission, but Xiao Chong hadnât moved back in with his parents, saying he was used to living in the villa.
He now only drove back to his parentsâ house for dinner to keep them company.
However, to win Lin Wanwanâs grandpaâs absolute favor, Xiao Chong never visited Lin Wanwan in the evenings, presenting himself as particularly well-behaved.
He would come in the morning, have breakfast with her grandpa, and wait until after grandpa left for work to run upstairs and prank the sleepy Lin Wanwan.
After being pranked twice, Lin Wanwan learned her lesson and started getting up on time every day to not let Xiao Chong take advantage.
