Chapter 972: Xiao Chong Extra Story 37_2
After getting drunk and staying at Xiao Chong’s off-campus home, the next day when Lin Wanwan returned to the dorm, she was surrounded and interrogated about what it felt like to topple the campus heartthrob, making Lin Wanwan feel frazzled both inside and out.
To her roommates, it seemed as if she had taken advantage of Xiao Chong.
Lin Wanwan was really at a loss for words; is this what it means for looks to determine perspective?
The roommates unanimously agreed that although Xiao Chong appeared like a gentleman on the surface, he was actually just a beast.
To defend Xiao Chong’s image, Lin Wanwan emphasized that he did not take advantage of her vulnerability.
Though he let her stay overnight, it was just for convenience in taking care of her, without doing anything excessive.
Well, what happened when sober the next day doesn’t count, it was consensual.
Everyone in the dorm expressed their admiration, saying that even a drunken beauty would be eager to stick to him, and yet he didn’t take advantage—might as well call him not just a beast, but less than a beast.
Alright, there seem to be pros and cons, Lin Wanwan expressed her submission to everyone’s opinions.
Thankfully, in the chat topics of the girls’ dormitory, men only occupied a small portion. After the initial teasing, everyone changed the topic.
On the morning of October 3rd, Xiao Chong took Lin Wanwan on a plane back to Yongcheng.
Lin’s grandfather had been waiting at home, buying a bunch of seafood to welcome her.
Xiao Chong first sent Lin Wanwan back home, and then returned to his parents’ place.
While chatting at home with her grandfather, Lin Wanwan remembered the bracelet and asked about its origins.
Lin’s grandfather initially intended to wait until Lin Wanwan was getting married to bring it up.
Since she asked now, he decided to tell her.
It turns out this Jade Bracelet is a family heirloom from the Lin Family, said to bring good luck, and under ancestral training, should never be sold.
It was originally passed from the grand old lady to the grandmother and was intended to be passed to the daughter-in-law.
But over the years, the grandparents had been heartbroken by their son and daughter-in-law. Hence, Lin’s grandmother passed it to the granddaughter whom she had raised since childhood when she was dying.
"Little darling, in the future when you get married and have kids, if you have two, choose one who carries your surname to pass it down. If the Xiao Family refuses, then when you’re old, take the Jade Bracelet with you and don’t pass it down further."
Lin Wanwan found this a bit odd: "Grandpa, Xiao Chong said this bracelet is super valuable."
Lin’s grandfather chuckled, patting Lin Wanwan’s head, saying: "Heirloom items, doesn’t matter valuable or not, they’re all the same. Why don’t you wear it? Is it forbidden in college?"
Lin Wanwan shook her head: "I put it in a safe box, afraid I’ll damage it wearing it."
Lin’s grandfather laughed: "Oh dear, my little silly one, the Jade Bracelet is meant to protect its owner, why hide it? If you wear it and it breaks, it means it protected you from a disaster, understand?"
"Ah, that’s a saying too?"
Lin Wanwan felt as if she was back in her childhood days, listening to grandpa telling her old magical stories.
While chatting with her grandfather, Wu Xiangxiang sent a private message to Lin Wanwan.
Their dorm had established a group chat since the beginning of the semester, where usually everyone communicated.
But now Wu Xiangxiang, for some reason, sent Lin Wanwan gossip in a private message.
She said that besides Lin Wanwan returning home, Yan Yufei hadn’t come back for two days.
Lin Wanwan said: "Yufei is a local in Beijing, maybe she went home too."
Wu Xiangxiang: "Yan Yufei complained before October about her parents taking a packaged tour during the break, so she probably didn’t go home."
Lin Wanwan replied with a smiley face but didn’t delve deeper with Wu Xiangxiang.
On October 5th, which happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xiao Chong, as the grandchild-in-law, brought gifts to celebrate the holiday.
Xiao’s father and mother lamented that their son had grown up only to run to the in-laws’ home, Xiao Chong smiled quietly, without denying.
The young couple helped Lin’s grandfather make a lavish dinner, and together they enjoyed mooncakes, admired the moon, and celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Due to his old age, Lin’s grandfather retired early to bed.
Xiao Chong took Lin Wanwan to his place, climbed to the attic’s study, and lay on a beanbag sofa watching the moon through the skylight.
Initially, they were admiring the moon, but after a while, Lin Wanwan felt the intense gaze next to her.
Thinking of a certain morning event, Lin Wanwan couldn’t help blushing.
With sharp observation, Xiao Chong quickly said with a smile: "Wanwan, you’re blushing."
Lin Wanwan turned her head to glare at him: "Why are you looking at me instead of the moon?"
Xiao Chong grinned: "What can the moon compare to you, my dear?"
