After parting ways with Li Qingxi, Lin Feng looked out the window, recalling what had happened today.
On the whole, he was probably an incidental target this time.
But after today, that might not be the next time.
At this thought, a trace of gloom flashed through Lin Feng’s heart.
He hated such enemies who hid in the dark. As they could not be seen or found, they could not be defeated directly. This made him very annoyed.
Compared to guarding against others every day, Lin Feng preferred to nip the danger in the bud.
Just like how he dealt with Lu Yu’s delinquents, Lin Feng wouldn’t show any mercy if he could take care of the trouble..
But in this situation, he didn’t even know who the enemy was or where they were. Lin Feng didn’t know where to start.
Sigh, I hope Li Qingxi can be of some use and take care of everything.
Upon returning home, he saw Lin Xue sitting leisurely on the sofa and watching television.
“Xiao… Brother, you’re back.”
Seeing Lin Feng who was back, Lin Xue subconsciously wanted to call out his name. However, she quickly realized something and changed her words.
Lin Feng nodded in response.
At this moment, Lin Dong, who was in the kitchen, walked out when he heard the commotion. His expression instantly turned amiable when he saw Lin Feng.
“Xiao Feng, why are you back so late today?”
Lin Dong surveyed Lin Feng as he greeted him.
To be honest, Lin Dong’s gaze gave one the chills. It was like a scanner scanning your body over and over again.
Lin Feng knew that Lin Dong didn’t have any ill intentions and was only concerned about him. If anyone else were to look at him this way, Lin Feng might have sent him flying with a slap.
“Did something happen? Don’t be afraid. Tell Daddy.”
Lin Feng felt that Lin Dong was being overly concerned.
No matter what, I’m still a man… Alright, I still haven’t gotten used to this damned world. Men are the ones who need protection here, have they gotten something wrong?
Lin Feng had no choice but to accept Lin Dong’s concern. He casually humored him.
“I’m fine, I just had some fun at a friend’s house.”
It couldn’t be helped, Lin Feng couldn’t reveal the truth, it wouldn’t change anything, it would only add to other people’s troubles.
Lin Dong subconsciously believed Lin Feng’s words. He nodded in relief and was about to return to his work.
“Oh, I see.”
Nodded with a look of understanding, Lin Dong revealed an expression of relief, but when he turned halfway, he suddenly froze.
Friends? Speaking of which, does Xiao Feng have friends?
Hasn’t my precious son always been known as the ‘ The Untouchable Flower’?
When did he make friends?
Could it be…
A terrifying thought flashed across Lin Dong’s mind as he quickly turned around to look for Lin Feng.
“Wait, friend! Which friend? Xiao Feng, Daddy is telling you…”
However, Lin Feng had already returned to his room upstairs.
Lin Xue, who watched everything from start to finish, suddenly nudged Lin Dong with her elbow and asked nervously,
“Dad, do you think Xiao Feng has a girlfriend?”
It would have been better if Lin Xue had not said anything, but once she did, Lin Dong started to feel afraid. He could not help but look worried.
No, no, Xiao Feng is such a good boy. And he’s so proud, he won’t start dating in high school.
Lin Dong rolled his eyes at Lin Xue and said angrily,
“Don’t talk nonsense. Xiao Feng is very obedient. I don’t think there’s any problem.”
Looking at his worrisome daughter, Lin Dong ended the previous topic and suddenly said, “You, on the other hand, have you finished your homework? I think you’re having a test soon. How’s your preparation going? Xiao Feng has been studying hard. Don’t let your results be worse than his.”
Once Lin Dong changed the topic, their attention shifted away from Lin Feng.
Lin Dong did not dare to think too much about it. Lin Xue, on the other hand, did not expect the attention to be brought to herself. She was caught off guard.
However, she quickly reacted and looked at her father unhappily.
“Dad, how can you look down on others like that? How can I not be better than Xiao Feng!”
…
The night the results of the routine test were announced.
It had been a long time since the Lin family gathered together to look at the results of the Lin siblings.
“How is this possible?”
Lin Xue looked at Lin Feng’s report card in disbelief. Her mouth dropped open slightly and shock was already written all over her face.
She lifted her head and looked at Lin Feng, who was standing not far away with a calm face, as if what he had done wasn’t worth mentioning.
Seeing Lin Feng like this, Lin Xue had a complicated look on her face. For the first time in her life, she felt defeated.
She did not know when it started, but this older brother who had always been at odds with her suddenly turned into a different person. He had become so formidable.
When did he start to change?
Was it that time at the bar? No, it should have been before that.
Such formidable strength is definitely not something that can be trained in just a few days.
At this thought, Lin Xue felt a sense of disappointment. So, my brother was actually working so hard in private?
Thinking about herself, she suddenly felt that she could not continue being so dispirited.
Her heart was filled with emotions, but Lin Xue did not show it.
On the surface, Lin Xue asked Lin Feng curiously, “Brother! How did you do it? Did you cheat?”
Before Lin Feng could reply, Lin Dong smacked Lin Xue.
“What are you thinking?”
Lin Dong rolled his eyes at Lin Xue and then looked at his precious son. At the same time, his expression changed as he beamed.
“How could Xiao Feng cheat? Come, Xiao Feng, eat more. This was specially bought for you.”
Lin Ru, who was at the side, also echoed happily. Her baby was promising. Although the leap was surprising, Lin Ru believed that her son would not cheat.
Furthermore, it was not easy to cheat during formal exams.
It was possible if Lin Feng was a girl, but Lin Feng wasn’t.
As a boy, Lin Feng had no need to pursue results, so these results must be real.
Patting Lin Feng’s shoulder, Lin Dong said wistfully, “It’s been hard on you.”
Just the thought of Lin Feng obtaining such outstanding results as a man filled Lin Dong with pride but also heartache.
This silly son of mine. He is suddenly so hardworking. He must be very hardworking in his studies. Perhaps he has been secretly getting up to study, when the rest of us are sleeping.
At this thought, Lin Dong kept piling the delicious food onto Lin Feng’s plate.
