Chapter 924: Xiao Chong Side Story 21_2

It was just a simple thank you, but his naturally amorous eyes made my heart flutter with excitement.

"It’s just... just a breakup gift." Lin Wanwan went along with his words and made up something.

Xiao Chong didn’t respond, adjusted the scarf, and said to Lin Wanwan, "So, since you don’t want to date early because you don’t want it to affect your studies, can I apply to be in line? Consider me first after the college entrance exams."

Lin Wanwan thought for a moment, and it seemed feasible. Apart from Xiao Chong, she honestly had no thoughts about anyone else.

She nodded emphatically.

Xiao Chong extended his right pinky finger, "Let’s make a pinky promise then."

Lin Wanwan looked at his distinct fingers, paused for a moment, stretched out her small finger to hook with his, and made a three-year promise with him.

In terms of handling a girl’s emotions, Xiao Chong was indeed a pro. Lin Wanwan was completely led by the nose, without realizing it.

A thousand years ago, they were the same age, and Lin Wanwan couldn’t compete with Xiao Chong.

A thousand years later, Xiao Chong had decades of experience, while Lin Wanwan, still an unopened blank slate without any golden fingers, was no match for him.

"I’ve put on the gift you gave me, now you put on mine, so it’s fair." Xiao Chong started instilling an absurdly romantic notion, "Let’s carry each other’s feelings and go watch a comedy film together. Let’s properly say goodbye to our prematurely ended first love, shall we?"

These words hit right in the heart of a sentimental teenage girl, igniting her sentimentality instantly.

Oh, the great but inevitably abandoned love!

Lin Wanwan agreed immediately, "Okay, wait for me then."

She picked up the bag Xiao Chong gave her and ran upstairs. Although she didn’t take a close look, with just a glance, she knew it contained clothes.

She took it out and, indeed, it was a sweet red double-sided cashmere coat with a hood.

It was a cute yet classy girl’s design, quite long, reaching below the knees. There was also a coffee-colored plaid scarf, which seemed to be a set.

Lin Wanwan used the white cashmere dress Xiao Chong had previously given her as an inner layer, switching to this festive coat, and put on the scarf. She was instantly transformed, and now, even if she stood in front of Grandpa Lin, he might not recognize her right away.

When going downstairs, Xiao Chong raised his phone at her, "The ride-hail car is already at the entrance of the neighborhood, let’s go."

"Okay."

Lin Wanwan adjusted the scarf to cover half of her face, letting Xiao Chong walk ahead while she followed from ten meters behind.

On New Year’s Day at the square, aside from the cinema, everything else was closed. They took a car to Times Square and went straight to the top floor cinema.

After Xiao Chong collected the tickets and bought the cola and popcorn, the movie was about to start, and they hurried to check in and enter.

It was Lin Wanwan’s first time watching a movie in the theater; although the comedy wasn’t deeply meaningful, it was truly funny, especially since Lin Wanwan had a low laughter threshold, so she was almost "hahaha" the whole time.

On the way out after the movie, suddenly a surprised voice came from the side, "Hey! Chong! You also came to watch a movie?"

The speaker was Mi Yunzhi, and as soon as he spoke, Lin Wanwan recognized his voice. She quickly pulled up her scarf and hid behind the poster stand, afraid of being discovered.

"Xiao Chong, did you come alone?" The other speaker’s voice was also familiar to Lin Wanwan—none other than the cheerleading team’s captain and dance club president, Zheng Ying.

Xiao Chong didn’t answer her, just glanced at them, revealing a knowing smile, "I won’t interrupt you guys, I’ll be on my way."

"What’s all this about interrupting?" Zheng Ying playfully teased, "We don’t have anything going on, can’t friends watch a movie together?"

Mi Yunzhi looked slightly awkward hearing her explanation, shrugged his shoulders, looked around without seeing any familiar faces, then waved to Xiao Chong, "Let’s play basketball together in the neighborhood later. We’re heading off now."

"Okay."

Zheng Ying looked back at Xiao Chong every few steps, followed Mi Yunzhi to leave, and after a while, suddenly asked, "Do you think Xiao Chong likes any girls?"

Mi Yunzhi had been diligently pursuing Zheng Ying recently, and naturally answered everything she asked, "I haven’t heard him mention any girls. Oh, with his looks, who knows how many girlfriends he might have."

"What? Is he a player?"
