Chapter 989: Chapter 43: Xiao Chong Side Story 43

The program on stage concluded, and the host was announcing the next guest.

Lin Wanwan hurriedly stuffed her phone into her sleeve, stood in position, and guided the young man onto the stage.

Only to hear the host shout, "Let’s welcome Xiao Junning!"

Lin Wanwan was taken aback; it turned out that person was the newly-rising star of the year, Xiao Junning.

Seems like he’s still in his senior year of high school and starred in a campus idol drama that captivated thousands of young girls.

Even though Lin Wanwan hasn’t eaten pork, she’s seen pigs run.

No matter how uninterested she was in the entertainment industry, the name that frequently made headlines still left an impression.

No wonder he got upset, probably didn’t expect that someone wouldn’t recognize him.

Xiao Junning was the midnight guest tonight. After his performance, Lin Wanwan would escort him off-stage, marking the end of her job for the night.

After the midnight countdown ended, Xiao Junning came down, and Lin Wanwan went up to greet him, but as she reached the backstage corridor, she got pushed aside by a crowd.

Everyone was scrambling to take photos with the rising star, and within seconds, the area was completely blocked.

Burly security guards rushed in to pull Xiao Junning away, and Lin Wanwan got jostled by the crowd again. When it dispersed, a business card mysteriously appeared in her palm.

She picked it up to see that it only had Xiao Junning’s name and a phone number on it, very straightforward.

Hey, how did this end up in her hand?!

The crowd was so packed just now she almost got trampled, she hadn’t noticed at all.

Just then, her phone rang; it was Xiao Chong calling: "Wanwan, it’s past midnight, are your activities over?"

It was too noisy backstage for Lin Wanwan to hear what Xiao Chong was saying, so she walked towards a quieter area inside with her phone.

Eventually, she didn’t know where she turned but managed to hear a bit clearer.

Lin Wanwan told Xiao Chong that it had just ended and that she would contact Yan Yufei to head out and call a cab home.

Xiao Chong told her to come to the parking lot as he was already waiting there.

After hanging up, Lin Wanwan called Yan Yufei, but after two rings, it was pressed off.

However, in a deep corner, Lin Wanwan heard the children’s song her roommate used as a ringtone.

Just as she was about to step over to investigate, the scene that flashed before her eyes startled her into sticking to the wall.

In the dim light, she only felt her heart pounding, with a sense of shock of inadvertently stumbling upon someone’s secret.

After a moment, Lin Wanwan looked over again somewhat unsurely.

In the hallway corner, the two figures passionately embracing each other, the female side, if she wasn’t mistaken, was indeed Yan Yufei.

And the clothes on the male figure also seemed familiar.

Their encounter was quite intense, so much so that Lin Wanwan could see her roommate’s undergarments pushed up.

Feeling incredibly awkward, Lin Wanwan held her breath and stealthily retreated.

If she made a sound and their eyes suddenly met, Lin Wanwan felt they’d all want to fade into oblivion right there.

Reaching a more crowded area, hearing the lively noise, Lin Wanwan finally let out a long breath. Though she was just an inadvertent intruder, she unexpectedly felt a tinge of guilt for peeping.

After pondering for a moment, she texted her roommate on WeChat: "Yufei, the event’s over. Want to leave together?"

The response wasn’t forthcoming.

She quietly waited ten more minutes before texting Yan Yufei again, and this time, the reply was instant.

Yan Yufei: "Wanwan, sorry, I’m not heading back today. My boyfriend came. Isn’t your school hunk picking you up? Be careful on the road. Oh, if not, you can come with us."

Lin Wanwan stared at this WeChat message blankly for a moment, but quickly understood, so that was her boyfriend.

It was so late, they couldn’t return to the dorms anyway, couldn’t possibly wake the dorm aunt at such an hour to let them in.

They originally agreed to go to Xiao Chong’s house outside of school for the night after the evening event ended.

Now since Yan Yufei wanted to be with her boyfriend, Lin Wanwan let her be, as they were all adults after all.

She herself wasn’t any different, also heading to her boyfriend’s place.

But the business card of Xiao Junning she held was already soaked with sweat from the fright earlier, and she casually tossed it into a trash can as she passed by.

Regardless of whether it was really Xiao Junning’s card, it had nothing to do with her, so she certainly wouldn’t keep it.

Once outside the TV station, the cold wind was piercing, but fortunately, she had a warm down jacket wrapped around her like a small quilt.

She hadn’t walked far when she felt an arm silently wrap around her waist, the familiar scent of wood wafting to her nose, and Lin Wanwan knew it was Xiao Chong.
