Chapter 985: Xiao Chong Side Story 41_3

This is quite a stable situation. At that time, she can use her spare time to write or create scripts, which can all be extra income without an upper limit.

In short, the first thing now is to study well, otherwise, everything will be just illusions.

So she would never move in with Xiao Chong; she has changed, and Xiao Chong is no longer the pure young boy who studied with her in high school.

After hugging for a while, Xiao Chong released Lin Wanwan and asked her, "The first snowfall is perfect for hot pot. Shall we have hot pot for lunch?"

What Lin Wanwan really wants to do now is sleep, as she didn’t sleep well last night.

But with her mind full of scenes not suitable for children, it’s better to go out for a walk and calm down; otherwise, she won’t be able to concentrate on her studies today.

So she nodded and said, "Let’s go to the nearby supermarket to buy ingredients for hot pot, shall we?"

"Do you want to eat at home?" Xiao Chong asked, "Why not just go to a hot pot restaurant?"

"Let’s eat at home. We can get some ingredients and come back; we have an induction cooker at home anyway," Lin Wanwan mainly considered saving money.

"Okay, I’ll go change my clothes." Xiao Chong walked into the dressing room.

Lin Wanwan went to the storage cabinet in the master bedroom closet to get her warm socks, put them on, and then went to the entrance to take down yesterday’s coat and scarf from the mobile rack.

By the time she finished dressing, Xiao Chong came out as well.

Seeing Lin Wanwan, he said, "It’s even colder today than yesterday, is your coat warm enough?"

Lin Wanwan glanced at him and said, "It won’t be cold; aren’t you also wearing a cashmere coat? And yours is a short one; mine is at least a long one."

Xiao Chong chuckled, "You, with your cold constitution, are comparing with me? I’ve got martial arts, I’m not afraid of the cold."

Lin Wanwan was all dressed up and didn’t want to change: "It’s fine, I’ll just go like this."

Xiao Chong paused for a moment and said, "Then wait a second."

After saying that, he walked to the balcony, where there was a small en-suite storeroom, with three sides filled with storage racks, capable of holding many things.

When he returned to the entrance, he had a pack of hand warmers in his hand: "Here, tear open the package, and it’ll warm you up."

"Thanks, I can’t believe you even have these," Lin Wanwan said as she accepted it. She tore open the package and held one in her hand, and it heated up instantly, even becoming a bit hot.

"No need to thank me," Xiao Chong replied with a gentle smile as he took her out the door.

Of course, these things were prepared for Lin Wanwan; he wouldn’t need them himself.

Outside the corridor, the surroundings were vast.

The cold wind howled, and snowflakes fluttered, making cycling inconvenient.

Xiao Chong opened his arms, wrapping them around Lin Wanwan, and they shared an umbrella.

At the community entrance, he asked her, "Are you cold? If so, we’ll take a taxi."

Lin Wanwan shook her head, "Not cold."

The northwest wind passing her ears was indeed biting, but with someone by her side radiating warmth, Lin Wanwan didn’t feel cold at all.

The supermarket was 1.5 kilometers from the community, but walking and enjoying the snowy scenery along the way, it didn’t feel far at all. They arrived in the blink of an eye.

It was only upon getting closer that Lin Wanwan realized it was not the ordinary supermarket she thought.

This was a green food supermarket, so the prices were as one would expect.

Lin Wanwan didn’t dare put anything in the shopping basket; she just couldn’t bring herself to do it. Watching Xiao Chong quickly fill the shopping basket, she couldn’t help but mutter, "You really are a picky eater."

Xiao Chong, with his sharp ears, tilted his head and gave her a smile, saying, "In life, eating is the most important thing, how can it not be particular?"

Lin Wanwan: "Haha."

Due to the snow today, and perhaps the pricing issue, when they went to check out with their ingredients, they didn’t have to queue at all.

Lin Wanwan stood next to Xiao Chong, watching the total bill on the screen rise non-stop, feeling like her heart was rising with it.

She thought it might have been better to just eat at Haidilao; the cost of having hot pot at home was really too much.

On the way back, they ran into their next-door neighbor in the elevator. She was also coming back from outside, with a pair of double-C sunglasses on her nose, and she greeted them enthusiastically.

Xiao Chong nodded slightly as a response.

Lin Wanwan curiously glanced at her; even though it was snowing outside, it wasn’t like a boundless snowfield, so why the sunglasses?

Zhang Lingyan’s sly eyes had already scanned Lin Wanwan thoroughly beneath the sunglasses, noticing she was dressed the same as yesterday, all in Chanel. It seems she stayed over last night.

"Are you two buying groceries to cook at home?"

Lin Wanwan nodded slightly at her: "Yeah, we’re making hot pot."

Zhang Lingyan’s eyes turned, she smiled and said, "You’re making me hungry just talking about it; can I come and grab a bite?"

Lin Wanwan was stunned; she didn’t expect someone to be so forward.

Xiao Chong had already politely refused: "Sorry, it’s not convenient."

At this moment, the elevator arrived, and Zhang Lingyan exclaimed, walked out first: "Alright, my mistake, I won’t interrupt your little couple’s date! Bye-bye!"

Lin Wanwan stood there, awkwardly smiling, then turned to see Xiao Chong seriously entering his fingerprint to unlock the door.

He seemed to be better than her at rejecting others’ enthusiasm.

Once inside, the warmth greeted them.

Lin Wanwan took off her shoes, wearing her socks as she stepped on the warm floor.

"You just rejected the neighbor like that?"

Xiao Chong looked up: "What else? We’re not even familiar."

Lin Wanwan’s eyes curved: "Yeah, good rejection."

As she took off her scarf and hung it on the coat rack, Xiao Chong naturally helped her remove her coat.

"Oh, someone came in while we were gone." Lin Wanwan noticed that the balloons and decorations from her birthday yesterday had been taken down.

Xiao Chong replied casually, "The cleaner came to tidy up."

"Oh, I was wondering why it’s always so clean when I come here; turns out you have a cleaner." Lin Wanwan realized.

Indeed, Xiao Chong never seemed like someone who would immerse himself in housework; back in Yongcheng, he often hired cleaners for property services.
