Rong Xiyi almost couldn't keep a straight face.

Seeing Xu Lin talk so seriously, Rong Xiyi knew for sure Xu Lin was talking nonsense.

"Xu Lin, you're just making stuff up! You still study? I'd be surprised if I believed you!"

Rong Xiyi's familiarity with Xu Lin was second only to Ning Yuhuan.

Ning Yuhuan was familiar with Xu Lin without clothes, while Rong Xiyi was familiar with Xu Lin with clothes.

So, Rong Xiyi absolutely did not believe a single word Xu Lin just said.

Xu Lin continued seriously: "Believe it or not, birds and fish take different paths!"

Ah!

He's really looking for a beating!

Actually using my own words against me!

Rong Xiyi really wanted to hit Xu Lin.

How does he manage to talk nonsense with a straight face?

The morning classes ended quickly.

Xu Lin went back to the dorm at noon and managed to type out twelve thousand words in an hour, split into four chapters, scheduled to release over two days.

"I need to find some time to write tens of thousands of words in one go, or else typing every day, when will I ever finish?"

This is why Xu Lin doesn't want to write long novels; novels that are hundreds of thousands of words long would wear him out.

The reason Xu Lin was writing at noon was because he planned to book a room tonight, so he wanted to finish his work first.

The afternoon was still full of classes.

First-year courses are quite packed, and for his major, except for Tuesday afternoons, all other times are fully booked with classes, and some courses, like Advanced Mathematics, have three periods in a row, only letting out after noon, past twelve.

University is different from high school. Back in high school, there were quite a few slackers in the class, so Xu Lin had company in goofing off, feeling justified.

But now in university, everyone around is studious.

Take Xie Zhengrong, his obsession with games is even more exaggerated than Xu Lin's, but Xie Zhengrong only studies games in the dorm. In class, he is always serious and studies diligently, embodying the balance of work and play.

Xu Lin was influenced by the environment. Even if he didn't listen in class, he sat there pretending, not taking out his phone.

Unknowingly, Xu Lin changed, influenced by the excellence around him.

After the first class in the afternoon, Xu Lin went to the new classroom.

Just then, Chi Linyue sent a message.

"Let's have dinner tonight, I'll take you to eat Wellington steak!"

Xu Lin had never tried Wellington steak, so he was a bit tempted.

But!

Tonight, he was supposed to book a room!

Choose between booking a room with Ning Yuhuan or having dinner with the older sister?

Xu Lin was torn.

But just two minutes into his indecision, Ms. Ren sent a message.

"I'm in Jiangdu!"

"?"

Xu Lin sent a question mark back.

Ms. Ren: "Surprised? Unexpected?"

Absolutely unexpected!

Xu Lin knew he wouldn't need to book a room tonight or have dinner with the older sister.

Xu Lin: "I'm in class."

Ms. Ren: "I'll come to your school then, wait for you to finish class, mom hasn't seen you in ages."

Xu Lin: "Aren't there photos? You can look at them to reminisce!"

Ms. Ren: "Why didn't you say my voice and appearance are still vivid? A son doesn't find his mother ugly, are you disliking me now?"

Xu Lin: "Not at all."

"Your interaction with your mom is quite lovely!"

Next to him, Rong Xiyi leaned over and said: "It's a very comfortable mother-son relationship!"

Last time, Rong Xiyi used Xu Lin's phone to send Ms. Ren a message saying: "Mom, I miss you."

Ms. Ren replied: "Baby, mom misses you too!"

Rong Xiyi was quite touched. When her mom was alive, she also called her baby, as if she never grew up in her mom's eyes.

Xu Lin's mom must really love Xu Lin!

"It's alright!"

Xu Lin nodded.

Rong Xiyi didn't say anything else.

For the last two lessons, Rong Xiyi was quite quiet, not speaking to Xu Lin, while Xu Lin, engrossed in using his "extraordinary memory buff," didn't pay attention to Rong Xiyi.

On the other hand.

At 4:30 in the afternoon, shortly after Xu Lin started class, Ms. Ren arrived at Xu Lin's school.

Once registered with the guard, Ms. Ren smoothly entered.

She was a prominent lawyer, well-known, even if not a local legal figure in Jiangdu.

In any case, she wasn't some jobless wanderer.

Moreover, Ren Yan was attractive and had a great demeanor.

Initially, the guard even thought Ren Yan was a teacher here at Finance University, as there are indeed many beautiful teachers there.

Once inside, Ren Yan started walking around the campus.

The Finance University campus had excellent landscaping, beautifully maintained, clearly a good place for study.

Previously, Ren Yan almost thought her son would end up at a second-tier university, where the academic atmosphere is typically mediocre, with even during finals the library often having many empty seats. Even if there were diligent students, they usually lacked clear goals towards their future.

Ren Yan deeply understood the influence of environment on a person. A good person in a bad environment would easily get assimilated into doing bad. Conversely, a bad person surrounded by good people might reform.

The influence of the environment is very important!

The environment at Finance University is really good.

Ren Yan saw a couple sitting under a tree discussing a problem.

Seemed like a math problem, and they were even arguing, both looking quite passionate.

"I wonder if my son is keeping up with the academic progress?"

Ren Yan suddenly felt a bit worried. Her son's acceptance was more of a lucky break, with incredibly good fortune.

But luck is luck, it's not a permanent solution, the real challenge starts after getting into university.

Top universities enforce academics strictly. The saying goes: first-class universities emphasize education, second-class universities focus on management, third-class universities monitor students.

Finance University is a top-tier, first-class university, definitely strict on academics, making Ren Yan wonder if Xu Lin might fall behind, fail too many courses, and eventually be expelled?

In recent years, the country has been tightening its policies on higher education, and students who are just idling away their time are really at risk of being expelled.

Ms. Ren is becoming more and more frightened the more she thinks about it!

"No way! Tonight I must talk to him about his mindset; he must study hard, otherwise there will be problems!"

Today is Xu Lin's first official day of school, and Ren Yan wonders if Xu Lin can understand the classes?

Ms. Ren is walking around the campus, thinking about many things, worrying about this and that.

For instance, worrying about Xu Lin's studies, or worrying whether Xu Lin might be bullied.

Actually, almost all mothers are the same; when their children are away, they worry whether they eat enough, dress warmly, or might be bullied, among other things. No matter where the child goes, the mother's heart follows.

Ren Yan walks through the campus of Finance University with such worries in her heart.

It's worth mentioning that along the way, quite a few students greeted her, thinking she was a teacher and calling out "Hello, teacher."

Ren Yan smiled, not expecting to be mistaken for a teacher.

Along the way, Ren Yan responded with nods.

"Hello, teacher!"

At this moment, a few girls greeted Ren Yan.

Four girls.

One of the girls was particularly stunning, and her demeanor was very appealing, giving the impression she would be a gentle person, causing Ren Yan to think how wonderful it would be if she were her future daughter-in-law.

Ren Yan smiled back and said, "Hello to you too, did you just finish class?"

"Yes, teacher, we just finished class!"

Liu Yuqing responded excitedly.

Xu Jinjie and Huang Yiran reacted the same way.

Ning Yuhuan, being less talkative, simply nodded earnestly.

Ren Yan casually chatted with the four of them for a bit before continuing her walk.

"That teacher just now was so pretty!"

"Do we have such good-looking teachers at our school?"

"And she's particularly graceful. Gosh, if only I could be so graceful in the future; they say you can cultivate grace!"

"Many teachers at our school indeed have grace; I might become a graceful woman too in the future!"

Xu Jinjie and the other two started discussing, feeling amazed by Ren Yan's appearance.

With over a thousand teachers at Finance University, they wondered what subject Ren Yan might teach.

But Ning Yuhuan felt she had seen Ren Yan somewhere before.

No, it wasn't that she had seen her, but rather that Ren Yan's eyes seemed very familiar, though she couldn't remember where she had seen them, nor could she recall at the moment.

Actually, Xu Lin's eyes and Ms. Ren's are identical.

Xu Lin has sword-shaped eyebrows and phoenix eyes; Ms. Ren has a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes.

Time passed, and for the next half hour, Ren Yan wandered around the campus.

Finance University covers over two thousand acres, and with such nice surroundings, walking there is quite enjoyable.

Especially since today's weather is nice.

Before she realized it, it was half past five.

Xu Lin also finished his class.

Ms. Ren was waiting outside the four teaching buildings where Xu Lin had his class.

When Xu Lin came out, he immediately saw Ms. Ren.

Because Ms. Ren stood out like a graceful crane among chickens.

"Is that Xu Lin's mom?"

Rong Xiyi was following Xu Lin not far behind, somewhat attached emotionally, so she wanted to see Xu Lin's mom as well.

Finally, she saw her.

Xu Lin's mom was very pretty and appeared to be a very gentle woman.

Rong Xiyi felt a bit envious as she watched them leave from a distance, until they were out of sight.

Xu Lin and Ms. Ren were unaware of Rong Xiyi's gaze.

Ms. Ren said, "Let's go out for dinner, I have something to discuss with you."

"What is it?"

"Just want to check in on your college life, what else could it be?"

Xu Lin understood.

Then he headed out to the school gate with Ms. Ren.

His mom didn't drive today, because driving from the provincial city takes seven to eight hours, while taking the high-speed rail directly only takes two-plus hours, and a ride from the high-speed rail station to Finance University is just over thirty minutes.

Soon they arrived at the school gate.

Xu Lin's phone vibrated; it was an unexpected call from Chi Linyue.

Xu Lin answered the call.

"Xu Lin, I'm at your school gate, come out!"

"My mom's here; seems like I won't be able to have dinner."

Xu Lin could only decline politely.

But Chi Linyue didn't mind and laughed, "It's fine if your mom's here; she can join us too, it'll be livelier with more people!"

"Is it convenient?"

"Is it inconvenient for you?"

Chi Linyue asked with a smile.

Xu Lin said, "I think it's convenient."

Chi Linyue: "I'll wait for you at the school gate!"

With that, the call ended.

"Who was that?"

Ren Yan asked curiously.

She didn't know who Xu Lin was talking to, and since there were many people on the road, all speaking, she couldn't clearly hear what the person on the call was saying, not even whether it was a male or female.

"The sister-in-law of the pregnant woman I helped out last time."

"Oh, I see."

Ren Yan was a bit curious.

Soon, Ren Yan met Chi Linyue outside the school gate.

Chi Linyue, in a brown belted long dress, stood there.

It was like poetry, like a painting.
