In a small park not far from school.
As far as Lin Yi could remember, this was the first time he'd been alone with Lin Dazhi since his mother had passed away.
The two of them sat on a bench, momentarily at a loss for words.
The atmosphere was rather awkward.
After a long moment, Lin Dazhi was the first to break the silence.
"Congratulations on becoming the top scorer. You've really brought honor to the Lin Family!"
As soon as he spoke, Lin Yi turned to look at him.
He realized that in just three short months,
Lin Dazhi seemed to have grown older and more haggard.
There were many more white hairs, and the wrinkles on his face had deepened.
At that moment, his hatred for Lin Dazhi was surprisingly fading.
'Perhaps my mindset has changed over the past three months.'
'Or perhaps it's because the martial arts exam is over, and I'm about to enter the New District.'
'From now on, our paths will rarely cross again.'
