Childhood Sweethearts: He's Jealous Again!-Chapter 916: The Awkward Mix-Up
"!!!"
Chenchen, who had been fooled, immediately pursed his lips, his face dark and sullen, and walked quickly towards the school gate.
How dare they trick him!
Such a cheeky fellow!
"Brother Chenchen, why are you walking so fast? Wait for me!" Chongchong quickly started running to catch up.
Hearing this, Chenchen walked even faster.
He was angry, and he didn’t want to wait for her!
"Sigh... I was wrong... Don’t be mad." The little girl finally caught up to him by jogging, stood in front of him, and obediently admitted her mistake.
Only then did Chenchen give her a proper look, crossing his arms arrogantly as he warned, "Try acting with me again, and you’ll see!"
"Got it!"
Chongchong stuck out her tongue.
Primary school was officially on winter break now.
But the middle school had another week to go before vacation.
By the time the middle school was on break, it was already New Year’s the next day.
The sound of firecrackers was everywhere, each household hanging red lanterns, posting Spring Festival couplets and the Chinese character "Fu" for fortune.
Everything looked the same as last year, but Chongchong was glum to find that Chenchen had grown much taller again.
And his voice had suddenly become hoarse, not as nice as before.
Of course, the most terrifying thing was the bulge on his neck.
"Brother Chenchen, why is it bulging here?" Chongchong discovered a new world, her eyes widening as she stared at his Adam’s apple.
"..."
Chenchen was speechless.
This was just normal development, did she have to look like he had a terminal illness?
"Oh no, oh no, you must be sick, I have to find mom to take a look at you now." Afraid he might die, Chongchong quickly ran off in the direction of home.
"Hey! Don’t go!" Chenchen tried to stop her, but the little girl had already dashed out of his house.
Chenchen couldn’t help but grit his teeth, "That idiot!"
Soon, not only did Mengmeng arrive, but even Doctor Mom and Doctor Dad, both seasoned physicians, came too.
"Are you planning to spend New Year’s at our house today?" Tong Mo, who was preparing the New Year’s goods with the servants, joked upon seeing so many people all of a sudden.
Mengmeng shook her head, "We heard Chenchen was seriously ill, so we came to check on him."
"Ill? Seriously ill?" Tong Mo was confused upon hearing that.
How come she didn’t know Chenchen was sick?
And seriously sick, at that?
"I’m not sick."
Realizing everyone was looking at him, Chenchen, who was feeding milk to the younger siblings, shrugged helplessly.
"No! You are sick!" Chongchong shouted, stepping forward and jumping to point at the bulge on his neck, "Look here, Brother Chenchen grew an extra bone!"
"..."
The surroundings fell silent immediately.
Clearly, there wasn’t one before and now there is, if it’s not an illness, what is it?" Chongchong continued, oblivious to everyone’s stunned expressions.
"..."
Cold sweat began to drip from the foreheads of everyone around.
"Why is no one speaking? Is Brother Chenchen’s illness incurable?" As she spoke, the little girl’s eyes reddened, and she hugged Chenchen’s leg sobbing. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
"Boo hoo, I don’t want brother to die... Ah... Waaa!"
By now, Chenchen couldn’t help but almost burst into laughter.
Mengmeng, a bit embarrassed, stepped forward to pull the little girl over and explained, "Chongchong dear, this isn’t an illness, it’s something unique to boys called an Adam’s apple."
