Chapter 986: Xiao Chong Side Story 42

After the first snow, the weather became increasingly cold.

Lin Wanwan couldn’t do without her down jacket anymore, and at night, she even pressed clothes over her quilt for warmth.

Chen Tianying, the girl from Guangdong Province in the dorm, continued her daily bathing routine despite the cold weather, leaving the other three in astonishment.

Fortunately, by mid-month, the heating system in the city was turned on.

With heating, life became much more comfortable, and the freshly washed underwear and trousers hung beside the heater could dry overnight.

In Lin Wanwan’s dormitory, three out of the four had never experienced living in a place where every corner had heating, so it was quite novel.

Time flew by, and before they knew it, exam month had arrived again.

During this period, aside from the busy studying and exams, Lin Wanwan only went out to do part-time jobs with Yan Yufei twice, far less than previous months.

The main reason was that the exam month was academically demanding and stressful, and Lin Wanwan couldn’t afford to be distracted.

However, even if the activities in December were less, the past months helped her accumulate quite a bit of money.

She planned to buy herself a laptop during the New Year’s sale using the money earned from her part-time jobs, since the current iPad was not convenient enough.

At the end of the year, Beijing hosted a lot of events, both commercial and from the entertainment industry.

Yan Yufei tended to take on jobs related to the entertainment industry, and every time she went out, she would pull Lin Wanwan along. So these days, Lin Wanwan had met quite a few celebrities.

The most recent was an outdoor red carpet event, which left Lin Wanwan freezing.

Compared to the celebrities on the red carpet with bare legs and arms, the etiquette team had thick thermal pants under their long dresses, warm pads, tight white sweaters as base layers, and faux fur capes.

But the issue was that celebrities froze for just a short time while walking the red carpet, and afterward, they could slip into heated areas with coats for warmth.

Even if the etiquette team took turns, they still had to stand outside for half the event.

Making money in the northern winter wasn’t easy.

Additionally, despite the cold weather, the activity prices didn’t rise; money was truly hard to earn.

Unfortunately, Lin Wanwan even suffered early menstruation due to this cold exposure, accompanied by severe menstrual pain.

On the day with the most intense pain, Lin Wanwan had to take off school.

Lying on the dormitory bed unable to move, Xiao Chong called her, sensing from her voice that she was not doing well.

But no matter how worried he was, it didn’t help, because boys weren’t allowed in the women’s dormitory.

"Wanwan, can you put on some clothes and come down now? I’ll take you to see a doctor."

"No, seeing a doctor won’t really help for this kind of thing." Lin Wanwan had been through this before, so she didn’t want to go to the infirmary for nothing.

Xiao Chong was silent for a moment before speaking, "Put on some clothes now, wait a bit, and I’ll ask the dormitory supervisor to help you down."

It was stated as a declaration, not a question, and he hung up afterward.

Lin Wanwan was in excruciating pain and really didn’t want to move, but knowing Xiao Chong’s quick actions, she guessed the dormitory supervisor might already be on her way upstairs.

If she didn’t cooperate, the dormitory supervisor would come up in vain, and Xiao Chong would have made his request for nothing.

So she had to muster her strength to get up. Having such a boyfriend—what’s the term again? Fatherly! It was truly pain with joy.

As soon as she climbed out of bed and put on her fleece pants, the dormitory door was knocked, and sure enough, the dormitory supervisor’s voice called out, "Are you there, student?"

Lin Wanwan clutched her stomach to open the door, looking ashen-faced.

The dormitory supervisor was accustomed to seeing such situations, and instructed her to put on her down jacket before helping her out of the dormitory.

Xiao Chong waited outside the dorm building, watching Lin Wanwan being carried out with a pale face. His own face turned white as well, and he hurriedly stepped forward to thank the dormitory supervisor, then squatted in front of Lin Wanwan to let her climb on his back to be carried.

"Don’t you have class?" It was class time now.

"I took leave." Xiao Chong, who respected teachers, would never skip class, but taking leave was easy for him to handle.

"Will it affect your studies?"

Xiao Chong laughed, "You still have the strength to care about this? Don’t talk, or take in the cold wind and feel worse."

"Okay." Lin Wanwan rested her head on his shoulder, wearing a big down jacket, despite her aching stomach, she felt sweet inside.

Lin Wanwan chose to come down anyway, intending to go to the health center for painkillers.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Chong, carrying her, wasn’t heading to the health center but straight out of the campus and into a ride-hailing car.
