Chapter 903: Xiao Chong Extra 14_2

Just as she was about to look away, Xiao Chong entered her line of sight, neither dodging nor evading, and lifted his gaze to meet Lin Wanwan’s. Their eyes met in mid-air, and he gave a radiant smile.

Lin Wanwan was dazzled by his beauty for a moment, nodded to him lightly, returned a polite smile, and turned her head back to her focus on tackling the questions.

Xiao Chong didn’t interrupt her, immersing himself in his studies instead.

By the time for night snacks, Xiao Chong sent a drone to deliver food to Lin Wanwan, tonight it was a richly topped pizza and yogurt.

Lin Wanwan leaned on the window curiously and asked him, "This pizza isn’t made by you, is it?"

Xiao Chong laughed, "Not really, it’s a semi-finished product that just needs baking in the oven."

"Oh, I thought you made it yourself again!" Lin Wanwan chatted with Xiao Chong while eating pizza with yogurt.

In Lin Wanwan’s family, "no talking while eating, no speaking while sleeping" wasn’t a rule; their main communication time was around the dining table since she was little.

He could chat with Lin Wanwan while eating, following local customs.

Additionally, he rested lazily against the window, eating pizza with his hands, much like residents carrying their bowls outside to eat and chat after demolition.

However, a good-looking person, even doing this, doesn’t appear sleazy, instead exuding a lazy hermit vibe.

Xiao Chong is an expert at leveraging his appearance to impress people.

Lin Wanwan’s current demeanor was similar, and she felt nothing amiss.

After finishing the night snack and the chat ended, energised, Lin Wanwan continued diligently working on her exercises.

The night stretched on, the moon lingered.

In her day-to-day life at school, Lin Wanwan earned her first high school award—a first prize in the citywide high school essay competition.

In the past few days, the language teacher thought highly of Lin Wanwan; this wasn’t noticeable when teaching class in one, but when visiting other classes, Lin Wanwan was used as a model to make others feel inadequate.

Slow to react to campus gossip, Lin Wanwan was unaware of her growing reputation due to the teacher’s enthusiastic promotion.

As soon she entered high school, she already ranked high on the dormitory students’ bedtime school beauty list because of her looks, and now her fame increased again due to the language teacher.

Seeing her name on the campus honor roll, Lin Wanwan felt a sense of disbelief.

Last month, participating in the essay competition in the lecture hall, she truly didn’t expect this day would come.

Because this essay competition wasn’t by grade level, but high school-wide, with the language teacher selecting students in the class who write well to participate— real experts.

On the competition day, Lin Wanwan wrote a novel, penning six to seven thousand words within the two-hour limit, and it might even be too long for the reviewing teachers to read.

She usually thought argumentative essays fared better in exams and competitions.

During exams, essays are typically limited to about 800 words, which isn’t sufficient for novels but perfect for argumentative essays.

But Lin Wanwan’s argumentative essays were weak, coming out dry.

So after the competition, when the language teacher asked her about her topic, she said she wrote a novel, probably not very hopeful.

Unexpectedly, she shared the first prize with two high-performing students from Ocean High.

Only three high school students across the city received this award, it’s no wonder the language teacher was eager to publicize it.

Lin Wanwan also had a little secret joy.

Winning wasn’t just about getting a certificate, there was also an iPad as a prize!

The night she came home with the prize, her grandpa Lin heard the good news, and happily called Lin Wanwan his "little sweetheart" several times, picking extra fish pieces for her.

Grandpa Lin enjoyed calling her "little sweetheart" when happy, regardless of others’ presence.

After dinner, when Grandpa Lin left for work, Lin Wanwan smiled at Xiao Chong charmingly, "I’m not very great with this, but you must be, right? Will you teach me?"

Xiao Chong gladly replied, "Sure, iPad isn’t difficult to operate, they’re all user-friendly software, really simple."

He gestured for Lin Wanwan to sit next to him, opened the iPad, helped her set a lock screen password, then logged into his home’s wireless network, registered an Apple account, and downloaded various common apps.

Having never used a computer outside the school computer lab, Lin Wanwan was virtually clueless about electronics, relying entirely on Xiao Chong’s guidance.
