Chapter 61 Come to my house tomorrow
After Shan Tong left the room, Jiang Wan picked up her phone.
I already have a message from Zhou Chong sent on QQ from a few minutes ago.
Z: I'm home.
Jiang Wan sent a cute cat emoji, and then brought up Shan Tong's suggestion from earlier.
[It's not too late, really: My mom wants you to come over to my house tomorrow.]
Right after I sent that message, a "typing is in progress" message appeared at the top of the chat box.
A few seconds later, the notification disappeared, but Zhou Chong did not send any messages.
She then realized that her previous statement seemed somewhat ambiguous, and quickly added another sentence.
[It's not too late: She means, "Come to my house to study tomorrow, so we won't bother going to the city library."]
This time, a few seconds later, Zhou Chong sent his message.
[Z: Why?]
Jiang Wan thought for a moment and then used the same righteous and indignant rhetoric that Ms. Shan Tong had used earlier.
[It's not too late at night: It's cold, and my mom feels sorry for us getting up early to go to the library to reserve seats. It's warm and cozy at home, and she can even prepare lunch for us. Isn't that great?]
She didn't mention her parents' suspicions about her dating too early, for fear of scaring Zhou Chong.
Zhou Chong seemed to agree quickly without much thought.
Z: Okay, then I'll come to your house at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, is that alright?
【Late Evening Is Not Too Late: Sure, sure. If you want to come to my house for breakfast, you can come a little earlier.】
What I was really thinking was: If you want to see me sooner, then come sooner.
But Jiang Wan was too embarrassed to be so direct, and Zhou Chong couldn't stand being teased.
As she expected, Zhou Chong declined her offer to come to her house for breakfast.
Z: I'll have a good breakfast before I come. See you at eight.
That piece of wood, it really is a piece of wood!
Jiang Wan angrily tapped her phone screen and replied with "Okay".
After putting down her phone, she looked around.
Thinking that Zhou Chong would be coming tomorrow, she quickly stood up and began to tidy up the clothes piled on the sofa, the plush toys lying crookedly on the bed, and the snacks piled up like a small mountain on the bedside table.
After doing all this, she brushed her hands off, put her hands on her hips, and looked at the newly renovated room with considerable satisfaction.
Ms. Shan Tong could never have imagined that her daughter would become so virtuous overnight.

Meanwhile, Shan Tong, back in her room, sat on the edge of the bed with a serious expression.
"Wife, how was your chat with our daughter?" Jiang Ronghai sat down by the bed and took his wife's hand.
After observing all night, he couldn't help but begin to suspect that Shan Tong's earlier guess might actually be somewhat true, especially after Jiang Wan returned home and immediately suggested that she and Zhou Chong go out to study on the first day of their holiday.
No, maybe it's a date, who knows?
Although he still didn't want to believe that his precious little girl had fallen in love so early, since he had noticed some signs, he decided to let Shan Tong talk to Jiang Wan about it.
After all, this kind of thing is more suitable for a heart-to-heart talk between a mother and daughter.
Dan Tong raised her eyes and looked at her husband in front of her. She neither sighed nor frowned, but calmly asked, "You also think Zhou Chong is pretty good, right?"
Jiang Ronghai was taken aback. Although he found it strange, he still thought carefully before answering: "He is indeed very good. Not only is he good at studying, but he is also very thoughtful. He speaks with insight and acts with tact. He is different from ordinary young boys."
He paused, then added, "He's even more mature and composed than Luo Xuan, neither arrogant nor impatient, and down-to-earth. His future is immeasurable."
"Yes." Shan Tong nodded in agreement, "And he's handsome, comes from a good family, and is a good match for our Wanwan."
Jiang Ronghai: ? ? ?
How did the conversation suddenly turn to this?
"Wife, what... what do you mean by that?" Jiang Ronghai had a bad feeling. "Is it... that Wanwan and he are really dating?"
"No." Shan Tong sighed softly, glanced at Jiang Ronghai somewhat awkwardly, and hesitated before speaking, "It's our daughter. She has a one-sided crush on Zhou Chong, and he has no idea about it."
“…Huh?” Jiang Ronghai stared wide-eyed.
"That's it. Wanwan admitted it to me and even said that she would pursue Zhou Chong properly after they both got into Tsinghua University." Shan Tong pursed her lips. "She knows exactly what she's doing, so I can't say anything more."
Jiang Ronghai seemed surprised by this situation. After a long pause, he stammered, "Then... what... what should we do?"
"What else can we do?" Shan Tong glanced at him. "We all think Zhou Chong is a good person. Our daughter likes him and they agreed to take the Tsinghua University entrance exam together. He's so ambitious, and Zhou Chong has been helping Wanwan with her studies. Are we really going to break them up?"
"Then... then let them develop freely?"
“What development?” Shan Tong tapped Jiang Ronghai’s forehead. “It’s your daughter’s one-sided crush on him, a one-sided love affair. There’s no development at all.”
Jiang Ronghai opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, but after thinking about it, he couldn't hold back his anger, "My daughter is so beautiful, so outstanding, so cute, why should she have a crush on him?"
"Why should I?" Shan Tong sneered. "Why should I ask your daughter? Weren't you just praising Zhou Chong for all the good things?"
"It's good, but... why doesn't he like my Wanwan?" Jiang Ronghai, a doting father, became increasingly agitated as he spoke. "Wanwan wants to pursue him after she goes to university, so why should she?"
"Alright, alright, we don't know if Zhou Chongxi likes Wanwan or not. We'll talk about it later." Shan Tong threw off the covers, turned around and got into bed. "Anyway, they're focused on their studies right now and haven't started dating yet, so let's just wait and see."
"Why don't we just wait and see?" Jiang Ronghai also threw back the covers and sat on the bed. "Tomorrow, we'll still have Wanwan and Zhou Chong go to the city library together."
Shan Tong smiled slightly and raised an eyebrow at him. "I'll have Zhou Chong come to our house to study tomorrow. From now on, whenever the two of you want to study, you should come to our house. Anyway, Zhou Chong already knows us."
Jiang Ronghai thought for a moment, then gave Shan Tong a thumbs up, "Wife, you're so thoughtful."
"Alright, it's getting late, let's go to sleep." Shan Tong lay down in bed and urged Jiang Rong to turn off the light and go to sleep.
