In the blink of an eye, it was mid-August.
In front of Qunfang Tower.
"Xiaorui, you're off to college in the blink of an eye! Your mom must be overjoyed," a woman said, patting Xue Rui's shoulder. She then slipped a red envelope into his hand and whispered, "Take this. For spending money at school."
"Aunt, I can't possibly accept this." Xue Rui put up a show of resistance for a moment. Finally, after the red envelope had become thoroughly crumpled from the back-and-forth, he stuffed it into his pocket with a resigned look.
'Dad's done a great job keeping this under wraps,' he thought. 'None of these relatives have mentioned me earning money. They just keep praising me for my good grades.'
On the surface, the star of the show today was the birthday girl, Xue Yao. In reality, he, the new college student, was also a main attraction. Otherwise, so many relatives wouldn't have shown up.
