Chapter 969: Xiao Chong Extra Story 36_2
Thankfully, there was still a parasol to cover her embarrassment; otherwise, she would have wanted to die on the spot.
She was about to leave in a huff, but Xiao Chong pulled her back with one hand as if she were a child, and placed her on the back seat of his bicycle.
Lin Wanwan was so embarrassed that her face turned red. How could this guy be so shameless? Everyone around was looking over!
Within just a month of starting school, Xiao Chong and Lin Wanwan became the most famous couple in the school.
This was all thanks to Xiao Chong’s title as the "Top Guy on Campus." He naturally attracted attention, and Lin Wanwan inevitably got exposed too, though it all stayed within the school forum.
The paperwork for the house Xiao Chong purchased went through quickly since it didn’t require cooperation from the seller; having a court order was enough to transfer ownership directly.
Moreover, the original tenant had already vacated the property before the auction, so Xiao Chong acquired it seamlessly.
Although it was an old apartment, it was very close to the university and had an elevator, which was very convenient.
Xiao Chong replaced the old door lock with a smart fingerprint lock and updated the interior furnishings, movable furniture, and appliances. He also repainted the walls with latex paint, making the place look brand new.
The night before the October holiday, Xiao Chong invited Lin Wanwan’s roommates and his own to come over to Room 601 in Wenting District for a housewarming party.
He didn’t mention that he bought the apartment, so everyone assumed it was rented.
After all, by common logic, he wasn’t eligible to buy property in Beijing yet, and buying an auctioned house was far from what an ordinary freshman would think of.
"Wow, Old Xiao, this place is nice, two bedrooms plus a large study and a walk-in closet, very comfortable! We should come here to party on weekends," the chubby guy said with an excited laugh after touring the apartment.
Xiao Chong calmly replied, "Partying is fine, but no staying overnight."
"Come on! So many rooms, don’t be so stingy!" the chubby guy exclaimed exaggeratedly.
Shi Liangming, with his thick, bottom-bottle glass glasses, said quietly, "So many rooms are reserved for the ladies, what are you thinking, chubby?"
"Even if I’m chubby, I’m still better than your frail chicken self." The chubby guy lunged at Shi Liangming, sparking laughter from everyone around.
It seems like chubby people in this world always end up playing the comedic role, rarely being exceptions.
The girls weren’t as laid-back as the guys; even the most straightforward Beijing girl was too shy to check out Xiao Chong’s bedroom; they stayed in the living room, chatting and watching TV instead.
"There’s also an ancient zither here," Wu Xiangxiang pointed to the balcony connected to the living room, which had been set up as a tea room and study, with an ancient zither placed in the center.
"Whoa, Wanwan, does your campus hottie also play the ancient zither? Why didn’t he perform at the freshmen orientation or military training talent shows?" Chen Tianying asked curiously.
Generally, if someone has a talent, they’re happy to showcase it at military training or the welcoming party, but Xiao Chong hadn’t shown any of his skills.
Lin Wanwan knew Xiao Chong was exceptional at playing the ancient zither, but she didn’t want to brag too much and just smiled, saying, "He can play."
"Wanwan, does that mean you won’t be staying in the dorm anymore?" Yan Yufei asked her.
"No, I’ll definitely stay in the dorm," Lin Wanwan quickly denied, "I think living on campus is great, convenient for studying."
"Hey, don’t deny it so quickly, be careful or you’ll eat your words~" The girls laughed at her meaningfully.
After chatting for a while, everyone started preparing food together.
Since there were many people, having hot pot was the most convenient option. They ordered delivery from Haidilao, just needed to boil water and toss everything in, simple, convenient, and delicious.
Four guys and four girls, matched up well, creating a slightly socializing effect.
Although Shi Liangming looked pale and scholarly with thick glasses, resembling a nerd or shut-in, he was the most active one, constantly looking after the girls with a gentlemanly demeanor.
The chubby guy seemed like a clueless foodie, just focused on eating, occasionally cracking a joke to lighten the mood, without actively approaching any of the girls.
As for the host, Xiao Chong, he sat next to Lin Wanwan, constantly feeding his little girlfriend, leaving Lin Wanwan feeling overly full.
"Hey, just eating is no fun, let’s play a game," Yan Yufei suggested.
"Sure, how about we play Cops and Robbers," Shi Liangming immediately chimed in.
Hao Jian adjusted his glasses and said, "Eight people, split into teams?"
