Chapter 987: Xiao Chong Extra 42_2

"You’re feeling unwell today, I won’t be at ease if you stay in the dormitory. Come home, I can take care of you. I’ve already bought pain relief medicine, so take one first."

Xiao Chong handed Lin Wanwan a small cup from his backpack and a pill of Fenbid.

"Oh."

Lin Wanwan hesitated for a moment before taking the medicine and water.

The ride-sharing service delivered them right under the building. Xiao Chong carried Lin Wanwan upstairs, placed her on the bed, and plugged in the warm water bag to heat it up for her to use.

After this fuss, Lin Wanwan broke out in a layer of sweat.

But it was indeed better than being in the dormitory, where all her roommates had gone to classes, leaving her alone in pain and feeling a bit pitiful.

When she was younger, she often went through times like this—painful and helpless—because she didn’t have a mother to whom she could pout.

During those moments, she was also embarrassed to tell her grandparents in detail, but always thought of her mother, even though she couldn’t recall what her mother looked like.

However, right now, right here, she could pout to Xiao Chong, feeling very satisfied and happy.

Asking for water one moment, complaining of pain the next, and just occasionally whimpering.

Xiao Chong brought her freshly brewed brown sugar ginger tea, and after she drank it, she lay back down.

Xiao Chong paused for a moment, then took off his clothes to join her in bed, gently holding Lin Wanwan from behind, placing his right hand on her lower abdomen, gently massaging, and using a little bit of Inner Strength.

Perhaps the pain relief pill’s effect kicked in, or maybe Xiao Chong’s massage was effective, Lin Wanwan’s pain eased and she fell asleep without realizing it.

Xiao Chong brushed away the fine hairs on her forehead, watched her sleep for a while, couldn’t resist kissing her, then quietly got up and went to the study to continue studying.

Skipping classes might be okay, but you still have to read books.

University mathematics is a different concept from high school; even for him, it requires some effort to learn.

Within the realm of university mathematics, there’s only the distinction between experts and beginners—no intermediates who lag behind. Undergraduate studies are relatively easier, but as you advance further, talent is increasingly necessary.

Many find themselves reading mathematics but unable to progress, opting for graduate studies in Finance Modeling, Actuarial Science, Computer Science, etc., where they can still find success.

Lin Wanwan woke from her slumber, no longer in pain.

She got up to use the bathroom, and while washing her hands, noticed a nail-sized bump near her chin on the left side of her face in the mirror.

This was why she often preferred to endure menstrual cramps.

Taking painkillers always led to this bump, and she wondered if it was an allergic reaction, which would dissipate on its own after a day.

She dried her hands with a tissue, took another look at the bump in the mirror, felt her appearance had downgraded, and walked out of the bathroom feeling a bit down.

Xiao Chong heard the movement and came to see her: "Awake now, does it still hurt?"

Lin Wanwan shook her head: "It doesn’t hurt anymore, but there’s a bump on my face."

"Where? Let me see."

"No!"

Yet Xiao Chong quickly held her face, examined it closely, and then lightly pecked her lips, chuckling: "Still beautiful."

Lin Wanwan blushed and pushed him away: "You’re awful~"

But Xiao Chong caught her waist, pulling her into his embrace, whispered softly: "It’s too cold now, we shouldn’t take on these outdoor activities anymore, okay?"

Lin Wanwan, melted by the tenderness in his voice, instinctively nodded in agreement.

They had hot pot for dinner, perfect for winter, with simple yet comprehensive ingredients, paired with a little wine, a delightful taste.

Lin Wanwan was eating while chatting with her roommates in the group chat.

Everyone was concerned about her because she hadn’t been seen in the dormitory since returning.

Lin Wanwan informed her roommates not to worry, she wasn’t going back tonight.

After sending this message, Lin Wanwan looked up and stole a glance at Xiao Chong, who was dipping food. Her heart fluttered inexplicably.

Xiao Chong placed the dipped food in her bowl, his almond-shaped eyes meeting her gaze, the corners of his lips curled into a conspicuous smile, but he said nothing.

Being swept by his meaningful gaze, Lin Wanwan’s heart raced, her face flushed red, feeling quite embarrassed.

No, she had to say something to cover up her awkwardness.

Lin Wanwan then asked, whether it was relevant or not: "Now that you mostly live outside, do you still keep your dorm room at school?"

Xiao Chong replied: "I do, I go back during the day to rest."

"Oh." Lin Wanwan nodded, "Are your classes in your major difficult?"
