Chapter 973: Xiao Chong Side Story 37_3
Lin Wanwanâs cheeks warmed with embarrassment, wondering why he was being so mushy now: "Iâm ignoring you, Iâm going to sleep."
As she spoke, she climbed up from the beanbag chair, only to be pulled back into Xiao Chongâs embrace with a surprising force.
Lin Wanwan fell onto him, into the broad and firm chest of an eighteen-year-old young man.
In that instant, Lin Wanwan could hear both of their heartbeats, and she felt a wave of nervousness.
But Xiao Chong was casual and natural: "Wanwan, we havenât taken a selfie together."
All their photos together so far had been taken by others.
Lin Wanwan swallowed and forced herself to stay calm: "Then letâs take one."
So Xiao Chong took out his phone, stretched out his arm, took two photos, and without editing them, set one directly as his home screen background.
Lin Wanwan looked at the unfiltered photo of them on his phone screen and complained: "At least give it a bit of editing if youâre not using a beauty camera."
Xiao Chong shrugged: "The real you is the most beautiful you."
"No way, I like the beautified ones." Lin Wanwan took out her phone, opened a beauty app, and took a picture of them.
Looking at the photo on Lin Wanwanâs phone where they looked flawless, Xiao Chong couldnât help but laugh: "With your edits, we look like weâre wearing makeup."
But Lin Wanwan was satisfied: "No, itâs just a standard filter."
They laughed and chatted for a while, then leaned quietly against each other.
"Wanwan."
After a moment, Xiao Chong called to her in a strangely soft voice, and Lin Wanwan turned to look at him.
He seemed to sigh quietly, then leaned in, touching her nose with his, then pressed his lips to hers.
Lin Wanwan instinctively parted her lips, but Xiao Chong didnât go for a deep kiss, just a gentle peck, then kissed her face, her eyes, her forehead, and near her ears.
Lin Wanwanâs ears were the most sensitive, every time Xiao Chongâs lips brushed against them, she felt like electrical currents were coursing through her body, leaving her weak and tingling.
Suddenly, Xiao Chong lifted her up, his dark eyes fixed on her: "Hold onto my neck like a koala."
No one could resist such a gaze, especially not a new college girl.
Lin Wanwanâs eyelashes fluttered, and she made an "um" sound, then reached out to wrap her arms around his shoulders, like a little creature revealing its soft belly under the King of Beastsâ gaze.
Xiao Chongâs whole body tensed, and he murmured with a hoarse voice: "Wanwan, youâre driving me crazy."
His girl was so gentle, like a ripe fruit waiting to be picked, it took immense willpower to resist!
He lowered his head to kiss her again, this time not holding back, like a rushing wind and rain.
When Lin Wanwan returned to her own room, her whole body felt light and airy.
She was hugging a pillow shaped like a big white rabbit candy, which Xiao Chong had casually bought from the gift shop today, as soft as her heart at this moment.
On the afternoon of the last day of the holiday, Lin Wanwan and Xiao Chong flew back to Beijing.
The next time theyâd return home would be during the winter break.
As soon as she entered the dorm, Lin Wanwan divided the special Yongcheng delicacies among her friends.
These were shrimp chips her grandfather had specially bought for her from a family living on the river, for her to share with her roommates and improve relations.
But rather than the food, Chen Tianying was more interested in the skincare set Lin Wanwan casually placed on her desk.
She picked up the still-sealed skincare set, glanced at it, and screamed: "Blue Sea Mystery! Wanwan, you either use nothing or things like this, itâs shocking!"
Her shout attracted the other two roommates.
"Wow, so luxurious! Wanwan, what does your family do, run a mine?" Yan Yufei exclaimed.
"Tsk tsk tsk, a real-life Cinderella." Wu Xiangxiang chimed in.
Lin Wanwan didnât even know what brand the skincare products were, she hadnât checked yet; they were given to her by Xiaoâs mother in the car to the airport today.
Since it contained liquids, Lin Wanwan had to check it in, and hadnât had time to look it up online yet.
"This was given to me by Mom, I never buy this stuff, I donât really understand it." Lin Wanwan referred to Xiaoâs mother as "Mom."
She had already served tea and changed her title at the engagement party, so calling her "Mom" was effortless.
She preferred not to reveal to others the fact that she had lost her parents, as she had suffered a lot because of it growing up, so she deliberately blurred the concept between her mother-in-law and her own mother.
If relationships are good enough and last long enough, people will naturally understand over time.
If after graduation everyone goes their separate ways with little contact, then thereâs no need to expose her family situation.
Everyone was envious, jealous, and resentful upon hearing "Mom" bought it for her.
