After Xiangyang left, he sighed to Xiaoguai, "I feel like his temper has improved a lot!"

[Ding! Qin Gang's Antisocial Index: 28.7%!]

Xiangyang suddenly turned around, "Little darling, did he regret not studying harder before after seeing my postgraduate entrance exam results?"

Xiao Guai: "Maybe."

Xiangyang became even more convinced of his idea.

Qin Gang had clearly been drinking, but he still couldn't sleep soundly all night.

During this summer vacation, Xiangyang and Qin Gang barely met.

Xiangyang was admitted to University A without any doubt. The day before he was to start school, Xiangyang even asked Qin Gang if he could see him off.

He's going to live on campus, so he actually has a lot of things to bring.

Qin Gang didn't agree, he just asked, "What time are we going?"

Xiangyang was overjoyed when he agreed, saying, "This afternoon is fine! I'm going to pick out a phone this morning, let's go together!"

Seeing his excited expression, Qin Gang said, "Alright."

The next day, Xiangyang chose a phone that cost a little over a thousand yuan, but Qin Gang only glanced at it and casually handed him another one that cost a little over six thousand yuan.

It's the same as his own.

Xiangyang quickly said, "I won't buy something so expensive, I still have money to spend!"

Qin Gang took out his phone, transferred the money, and said, "Here you go."

"Huh?" Xiang Yang was taken aback.

The shop assistant quickly wrapped up the phone and gave it to Xiangyang.

Xiangyang hesitated for a moment, but finally accepted the gift, saying, "Uncle Qin, I'll pay you back later."

Qin Gang didn't say anything, only saying, "Let's go."

At University A, students were everywhere, but Qin Gang was definitely the most eye-catching one, with people making way for him wherever he went.

A female international student looked at him and started talking to one of her friends with a smile.

They said that this Chinese man's physique was superior to that of most foreign men, and then they started talking about his work.

Xiangyang wanted to laugh when he heard this.

Qin Gang felt a little uncomfortable being stared at on the university campus. He asked Xiang Yang, "What are you laughing at?"

Xiangyang: "Uncle Qin, everyone is saying you have an 'outstanding temperament'!"

Qin Gang didn't think these were kind words, and he wasn't willing to see Xiangyang off any further. He dropped Xiangyang off at the reporting office and was about to leave.

"Xiangyang?" Suddenly, a girl called out Xiangyang's name.

Xiangyang: "Tangxi?"

Qin Gang, who had already walked more than ten steps away, suddenly turned around.

Although we hadn't spoken much at school, it was impossible not to greet a classmate from the same department when we suddenly appeared in the same place.

Tang Xi was somewhat incredulous. "How come you're at University A too?"

Xiangyang: "Why can't I come?"

Tang Xi: "With your score, applying to A University would be such a waste."

“It’s not a loss,” Xiangyang said with a smile, “it’s close to home.”

"Hey, Tang Xi, you know this handsome guy?" One of Tang Xi's roommates seemed very interested in Xiang Yang, winking and asking, "You two aren't doing anything, are you?"

"No way," Tang Xi said, both amused and exasperated. "Oh, never mind, Xiangyang, you just arrived, right? Have you packed everything?"

Qin Gang stared at Xiangyang, who was surrounded by several girls, for a long time until they left, playfully bickering.

For the first time, Qin Gang felt that he couldn't grasp anything.

Tang Xi asked again what those people she had seen hanging out with last time were doing.

Xiangyang paused for a moment, looking like he was hesitant to say anything.

Tang Xi still remembers that scene: a strong and upright man, leaning against a motorcycle, standing under a sycamore tree with a hoarse cicada chirp, his eyes lazily wandering, surrounded by a group of shady-looking men.

It's the kind of presence that you can tell at a glance is not to be easily approached.

"Can't I say?" Tang Xi asked directly.

Xiang Yang glanced at the others, then at Tang Xi, and finally whispered to her, "It's something like being a loan shark and a thug."

"Huh?" Tang Xi covered her mouth in surprise.

After all, she had never met anyone like that before.

"Then," Tang Xi looked at Yang, and I felt he was in a bit of danger, "what's your relationship with him?"

Xiangyang: "It's nothing, my dad knew him before he died."

Tang Xi kindly reminded him, "Then you should stay away from him in the future. If we ordinary people have too much contact with these kinds of people, we will inevitably get into trouble in the future."

If Xiangyang hadn't distanced himself from Qin Gang, Tang Xi wouldn't have been so magnanimous as to befriend him.

She can only offer a word of advice now; if Xiangyang doesn't listen, she'll have no choice but to continue slowly distancing herself from him.

"It's not that serious..." Xiang Yang felt that there was really no point in saying these words.

“It’s not that I’m overthinking it,” Tang Xi’s voice was even softer, “Those of them in this line of work, how can they not make mistakes sometimes? Can you guarantee that he hasn’t killed anyone?”

Xiangyang fell silent.

Tang Xi: "Anyway, you're living at school now, so you can gradually distance yourself from him in the future."

Xiangyang coughed and said, "He... he's about to change careers too."

Tang Xi didn't believe it. "What is he spinning?"

Xiangyang wondered what Qin Gang could do in the future, "...maybe he'll work on construction sites. Construction sites are lucrative; we haven't been able to earn as much as him even after graduating for several years."

Tang Xi thought he was joking.

A man like that, going to a construction site to build walls?

"Your parents...you don't live with him, do you?" Tang Xi asked him again.

Xiangyang: "Hmm..."

"That won't do!" Tang Xi exclaimed anxiously. "Why don't you go back on weekends? Gradually, you'll contact him less and less, and the relationship will break down."

Xiangyang thought to herself that she couldn't break up with him.

Tang Xi said earnestly, "Just listen to me, I'm doing this for your own good!"

Xiangyang smiled and agreed, but he didn't really take it to heart.

Xiangyang returned to the dormitory, met his three roommates, climbed into bed, and started texting Qin Gang on his phone.

Xiangyang: I'm all packed, Uncle Qin, are you home yet?

Qin Gang has not responded to this message.

Xiangyang didn't care anymore. Every day or two, he would send him a message, along with photos he had secretly taken during military training, including pictures of the food in the cafeteria.

His roommate, Wang Xin, even teased him, "Hey, you're even posting photos of your meal? Who are you sending them to?"

Xiangyang: "My uncle."

Wang Xin didn't believe it, so he exchanged a glance with his other roommate, Cao Xingwang, and the two of them joined forces to snatch his phone away.

The page note reads "Dad". From beginning to end, there were more than 20 messages, all sent by Xiangyang. Not a single one was sent by the other party.

Another roommate, Zhang Yu, was also stunned and said, "You're such a sycophant to your 'dad'?"
