Chapter 918: Xiao Chong Extra Story 19_2

Lin Wanwan replied to him: "Your cousin is very cute, we get along well, and she’s asleep now!

Once the competition ends, if you win, you all have to continue training, right?

If... then I guess Mr. Wang will immediately take everyone back to Yongcheng. Besides, we have already bought the tickets to go back to Yongcheng at two o’clock in the afternoon."

After replying, she waited for a while, but didn’t see Xiao Chong’s response, thinking he might have fallen asleep.

Lin Wanwan also closed the protective cover of the iPad, turned off the small night light on the bedside, and prepared to start counting sheep and sleep.

Just as she closed her eyes, a message came in on the iPad again. Although the alert sound was turned down very low by Lin Wanwan, it was still clear in the dark.

Lin Wanwan promptly grabbed the iPad, opened it and saw Xiao Chong had replied: "Since there won’t be any free time tomorrow, do you want to go for a walk now?"

Lin Wanwan glanced at the time displayed at the top of the chat window; it was already 11:15.

She replied: "It’s past eleven! Going out at night is dangerous."

Xiao Chong: "What are you afraid of when I’m here? It’s a rare opportunity. When will you have the chance to come out again?"

Lin Wanwan stared at Xiao Chong’s suggestion. Those few words held a great magic over her. After hesitating for a while, reason ultimately prevailed; going for a night tour at midnight was too excessive.

Lin Wanwan: "Forget it, once we’re older there’ll always be a chance."

Xiao Chong, having failed with one idea, came up with another: "Then tomorrow let’s go to the Bund to watch the sunrise, the sunrise time is at 5:20 in the morning. I’ll call you to get up at 4:40, how about that?"

Sunrise?

In Lin Wanwan’s mind, images of Xiao Chong describing the sunrise to her emerged, imagining the scene of watching the sunrise at Huangpu River. Her heart was moved, she replied immediately: "Okay."

Xiao Chong: "Then it’s settled. Good night, rest early."

Lin Wanwan: "Good night."

That night, thinking about the sunrise, Lin Wanwan didn’t sleep well; her dreams were full of different scenes of watching the sunrise with Xiao Chong, even embarrassingly so.

When she was awakened from the sweet dream, she actually felt a sense of loss.

She dismissed Xiao Chong’s video call, nervously glanced at Chen Ying in the neighboring bed. Luckily, Chen Ying was sleeping soundly, showing no signs of being disturbed.

Only then did Lin Wanwan open the iPad to reply to Xiao Chong: "I’m up, will wash up and head downstairs."

Xiao Chong: "Okay, waiting for you at the lobby."

Lin Wanwan carefully took her clothes, white sneakers, and backpack, walked into the bathroom stealthily, only dared to turn on the light after closing the door, washing up quietly for fear of making noise and waking others.

After sorting everything out, she quietly went out the door.

When pressing the elevator button, she was on edge, afraid of suddenly encountering classmates or teachers asking why she was going out so early.

Luckily, in the winter morning at four-five o’clock, few people would leave the warmth of their beds, so she didn’t encounter anyone on the way down to the lobby.

Just as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Xiao Chong waiting over to the side with one hand in his pocket. Under the crystal lights, he looked even more handsome.

"Wanwan, let’s go, I’ve already hailed a car." Xiao Chong smiled, stepping forward to take her backpack, "Let me carry it."

"Okay." Lin Wanwan responded in a low voice, feeling somewhat like a guilty thief.

The two walked out of the lobby side by side, the night sky outside still thick, with few people in the lobby, the scattered lights accentuating the tranquility of the environment.

When they got in the taxi heading to the Bund, the driver enthusiastically asked them: "Going to the Bund so early, for the sunrise?"

"Yes. Where’s the best spot to watch from, please drop us off there."

"Sure, I’ll drop you off at the parking lot near Bund Park."

"Thank you."

Getting off the taxi and walking a bit, they reached the observation deck, and the fresh smell of Huangpu River wafted through the air.

A cold wind blew across the river, and it felt quite chilly.

Lin Wanwan was wearing a cashmere dress which was warm but not windproof, and she couldn’t help hugging her arms.

Xiao Chong glanced sideways at her, immediately unzipped his down jacket, took it off, and without a word, draped it over Lin Wanwan.

Although he hadn’t grown as tall as he did in his past life, he was still twenty centimeters taller than Lin Wanwan’s 167 cm.

His large down jacket over Lin Wanwan was like putting a little quilt on her, and the warmth instantly soared.
