Jiang's mother quickly made up the bed for Lin Xi. It was a bunk bed, and since they had arrived early, they had managed to snag a spot near the window.

There was another student in the dormitory. After greeting them, I buried myself in organizing my things.

With everything almost set up, Lin Xi said to them, "Mom and Dad, you can take Xiao Lin back now. I'll call you if anything happens." Jiang's mother, still worried, checked again to see if anything was missing and instructed Lin Xi to buy it from the school store.

"Don't forget to buy a thermos. You're a girl, you can't drink cold water."

"Alright, Mom, I know. You two should go now. People will laugh at me when they come. They'll say I'm so old and still need my parents to take me to school."

Lin Xiao assured them, "Godfather, Godmother, don't worry, I've got you covered."

"We're leaving now, don't forget to buy something."

Lin Jianguo and Jiang's mother left reluctantly.

Lin Xiao was so busy delivering things to Lin Xi that he hadn't even gone to his own dorm yet.

If he arrived late, he wouldn't be able to get a good spot. He told Lin Xi that he would go back first to put his things down, and then come back to find her to go shopping.

After Lin Xiao left, her roommate who had arrived earlier came over and asked her, "My name is Yanzi, what's your name?"

"I am Lin Xi."

"Lin Xi, in these four years, we've spent a lot of time together. I like to gossip, and I couldn't help but ask you about it just now."

"Go ahead and ask."

"Who was that guy who brought you here? He's so handsome! Does he have a girlfriend?"

"He is my brother Lin Xiao, and also a freshman this year. As for a girlfriend, he probably doesn't have one."

I don't know if that fictitious fiancée counts.

"Great! Your names sound so similar. Are you related?"

"My parents are his godparents, so we're relatives."

"I'm so envious of you. You have such a handsome older brother. I've wanted an older brother since I was little, but I've never had one."

Is this kid crazy? You're already so old, and you still want an older brother? If you do have one, it will only be a younger brother.

Before Lin Xi could say anything more, Lin Xiao had already jogged over. She could only say hello to Yanzi and then go shopping with Lin Xiao.

The items here aren't particularly expensive, but Jiang's mother was still worried and gave her two hundred yuan, which she hasn't even used up a quarter of.

After buying the items, Lin Xiao took them back to her dormitory. Since he had many other things to do and it was a girls' dormitory, he couldn't stay there as a boy. He told Lin Xi to contact him if she needed anything and then went back.

While Lin Xi was shopping, the dorm was full. Girls always have so much to talk about. The girls, who were meeting for the first time, were already chattering about the Four Heavenly Kings and the Little Tigers.

Lin Xi wasn't interested in any of that and rested on the bed for a while.

University life isn't actually that busy; it's just about attending classes, eating, and having fun every day.

When her roommates heard that Lin Xi was the top scorer in their city's college entrance examination, they were incredibly envious.

I never expected there was such a top student hiding here.

Lin Xi lived a simple life, going back and forth between two points every day, yet she was still dubbed the school beauty, and a top student at that. Every day, people would send her love letters, all of which she politely rejected.

Lin Xiao, on the other hand, started going to Jiang Tang's class every day to pester her after Jiang Mei told him which class he was in. He even told others that Lin Xiao was her boyfriend and that they should stop trying to get close to him.

Lin Xiao was annoyed to death by the nagging. Every time he refused, he was still harassed. Lin Xiao had never seen such a shameless person.

Lin Xi's roommates also heard about this and asked Lin Xi for confirmation, saying that her brother, who was so handsome, could have fallen for such a spoiled little princess.

Lin Xiao was so annoyed that he told Jiang Mei firmly when he got home that she should control her niece, who was always clinging to a man. He said if she continued like this, he would not be polite to her.

After Lin Xi found out about this, she teased Lin Xiao about his many admirers and great charm, which made Lin Xiao embarrassed. He said, "If I'm so charming, how come I haven't charmed you?" After he said that, Lin Xi felt embarrassed, hit him, and ran away.

Gradually, people at school also realized that Lin Xiao didn't like Jiang Tang; it was all wishful thinking on her part.

Lin Xiao and Lin Xi, on the other hand, have an exceptionally good relationship. They are seen together every day, either eating or taking a walk. If it weren't for the fact that Lin Xi's roommates say they are siblings, no one would doubt that they are dating.

These words naturally reached Jiang Tang's ears, as the busybody had already spread them. How could this young lady allow the person she had her eye on to be snatched away by someone who didn't even know where he came from?

That same day, she gathered a few of her girlfriends and stopped Lin Xi in the restroom.

Jiang Tang, acting like a rebellious young woman, blocked Lin Xi's path and asked, "You're Lin Xi, right? How can you be so shameless? You dare to steal someone's man."

Lin Xi gave her a disdainful look: "Who are you?"

"Hahaha, she even asked me who I was. I'm Lin Xiao's girlfriend, get it?"

"Oh?! I grew up with Brother Lin Xiao, how come I didn't know he had a girlfriend like you?"

"Sister Tang, this little girl is sharp-tongued. Let me teach her a lesson."

Before his raised hand could reach Lin Xi, it was stopped by someone.

“Jiang Tang, I’m warning you one last time: stay away from me, stay away from the people around me. I’m not a very good-tempered person. You don’t know that, do you? I grew up in a remote mountain village. I even killed wolves in the mountains to make a living. If you push me too far, even if your aunt is standing there, I’ll teach you a lesson that your parents won’t recognize.”

"Lin Xiao, I just like you, what's wrong with that? Why are you so cold to me and even yell at me for this brat? I'm going to hit her, I'll hit her every time I see her."

He reached out to hit Lin Xi, but Lin Xiao pushed him hard to the ground, scraping his hand and drawing blood.

"Ahhh, I'm bleeding! Lin Xiao, aren't you going to take me to the hospital? Otherwise, I'll tell my aunt."

Lin Xiao ignored her and pulled Lin Xi away from there.

Lin Xi deliberately asked, "Brother Lin Xiao, shouldn't we do something about her? She looks quite badly injured."

"What she does is none of my business. I hope she stays three meters away from me this time. I don't want to see her face in front of me trying to fool me."

"Brother Lin Xiao, you have no chivalry at all."
