After lunch, Lin Xiao left Snow Dance Manor.
I went back to the Feng family home.
Feng Qi was also at home.
Upon seeing Lin Xiao, Feng Qi immediately became hostile, sneering, "Brother, it was you who sowed discord and told Xiao Fan that I wasn't the one who saved her, wasn't it? I never thought you were such a disgusting person. Why did you make me feel awkward in front of Xiao Fan?"
Lin Xiao felt a chill run down his spine. He took out his phone, turned on the record button, and said slowly, "Feng Qi, are you out of your mind?"
“I was the one who saved Meng Fanxue. You took credit for my work. I clarified the truth and didn’t cause you any trouble. You should be grateful. Where do you get the nerve to accuse me of being disgusting?”
"You're the really disgusting one. Get out of my way!"
Feng Qi's face darkened as he reached for Lin Xiao's phone, demanding, "You recorded me?"
Lin Xiao dodged, "Yes. If you want to fight, I'm ready."
Feng Qi glanced at Lin Xiao and snorted coldly, "I won't fall for your tricks. Delete the recording, and I'll pretend this never happened."
Lin Xiao sneered, "It's my phone, I can delete whatever I want. Who are you to tell me what to do?"
Feng Qi glared fiercely at Lin Xiao, "You'll regret this!"
Lin Xiao ignored him and went straight upstairs.
At dinner, the family sat at the table, and the atmosphere was clearly a bit off.
Feng Bairan poured wine for his two sons and said with a smile, "Ah Xiao, Qi'er, let's have a drink together, the three of us."
Lin Xiao picked up his wine glass and clinked it against his father's.
Feng Qi complained from the side, "Dad, look, Feng Xiao doesn't like me, he treats me like an outsider!"
Feng Bairan's smile froze: "Ah Xiao, you are the older brother, you should spend more time with your younger brother."
Lin Xiao's face flushed. He didn't like this atmosphere; it had a strange sense of oppression, and he hated Feng Qi.
"Dad, eat your food. Don't worry, Feng Qi is your son, my half-brother. I know what to do."
Li Yaru glanced at Lin Xiao, smiled, and put a piece of fish on his plate. "Ah Xiao, eat fish." She then put a piece of shrimp on Feng Qi's plate. "Qi'er, eat shrimp."
"Thank you, Mom," Feng Qi said with a smile.
Lin Xiao remained silent and ate the fish.
That evening, Li Yaru came to Lin Xiao's room, brought him a plate of cut fruit, and asked him softly, "Xiao, did you and Feng Qi have a fight? I noticed something was off between you two at the dinner table earlier."
Lin Xiao paused for a moment, then told his mother everything that had happened that day. "...Mom, it's one thing for him to lie, but he also turned around and accused me of being disgusting. I won't tolerate him shitting on my head."
Li Yaru was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "Feng Qi's personality does have some problems. He was spoiled by Tong Suxin since he was a child, and she has been instilling some bad things in him."
“I warned Tong Suxin not to teach the children bad things. She agreed on the surface, but secretly she still taught the children some wrong values.”
“Ah Xiao, I haven’t fulfilled my responsibilities as a mother all these years, and I owe you a lot. Don’t blame your mother, I didn’t know you were my precious son.”
Li Yaru took Lin Xiao's hand and patted the back of her son's hand.
Although Lin Xiao felt a little embarrassed, he felt warm inside. When he was a child, he longed for his mother to speak to him gently, pat his head, and praise him.
But now that he's grown up, he's no longer used to expressing his emotional needs to his mother.
"Yes, I know, I don't blame you," Lin Xiao said.
The next morning, Lin Xiao and Feng Qi each drove to school.
Feng Qi hasn't finished his graduation project yet, and it's obviously too late to start now. There's a very high chance he'll have to postpone his graduation unless he hires a ghostwriter to do it.
Lin Xiao didn't bother with Feng Qi's affairs and went back to school.
Bird Brother and the others finished their internships and were all frantically working on their graduation projects in their dorm rooms. Only Lin Xiao had finished his graduation project, and with nothing to do, he spent his days watching old dramas.
He binged three shows in one go, and now he doesn't want to watch any more shows for the foreseeable future.
Next came the plagiarism check and the defense, which Lin Xiao passed smoothly. Moreover, his graduation thesis was selected as an outstanding graduation thesis.
Before we knew it, it was time to take graduation photos and prepare to leave school.
The students from Computer Science Class 1 had a meal together and spent the day at a farmhouse, singing, playing cards, and fishing, which marked a perfect end to their four years of friendship in college.
The graduation party was held in the auditorium. The school organized many song and dance performances, including those by seniors, freshmen, sophomores, and juniors. Even the counselors put on a singing performance.
The quality of the shows varied greatly; some sang quite well, but most were not very professional, leaving viewers feeling rather bored.
The highlight of the evening was Ji Ran's piano solo.
Lin Xiao never expected that Ji Ran would appear at Jiang University's graduation party.
Lin Xiao was watching the program when he received WeChat messages from three women: Bai Youyou, Chu Yingying, and Ji Ran.
They each asked to meet him after the party.
Lin Xiao has read all of them but is not replying.
But Bai Youyou stood guard outside the fence of the area where Lin Xiao's class was located, watching him the whole time.
Chu Yingying also graduated with a master's degree this year. She went on stage and sang a love song. After singing, she made a heartfelt confession in the direction of the computer science class.
"Junior Lin Xiao, I like you."
A cheer erupted from the audience: "Together! Together! Together!"
Bai Youyou stomped her foot angrily, "She has no sportsmanship! Senior won't agree to her!"
Sang Ting quickly reassured her roommate, "Yes, yes, Lin Xiao will definitely not agree. Youyou, we're just saying, keep your voice down. You're the school beauty, and lots of people are looking at you."
