Aiya! Who made this glorious day?

Was it the entertainment gods?

Did the planets align?

Is it because it's Friday?

How can one day be so drama-filled?

It's like watching an interesting TikTok only to find out that there are additional parts to look for.

At this moment, in front of the student body that can be counted as more than a hundred, the main actors of this college drama have arrived on the stage.

The stoned path that leads to the Faculty building is connected to numerous paths leading to other administrative buildings. The path Lin Shen and his tail, Zhang Rui were trekking on, happened to be intersected with the path leading from the Admissions Office and the President's office.

Maybe it's an innate skill but there are people who can capture drama on their phones like a sixth sense. 

When Lin Shen was spotted, a few onlookers set their phones to recording, and one or two boldly used live broadcasting and began to commentate like news reporters.

As Lin Shen hastily made his way to the parking lot to leave campus, he still had a good way to go causing him to pass on an intersecting path. Through his haze of anger, he was still aware of his surroundings. Everyone was pointing and snickering behind their hands, mocking him with their gazes, he hated that these simpletons saw him as a joke. 
Turning onto a path on the right, he caught sight of two men walking in his direction. At first, he thought of them as visitors to XXX University but as he got closer his body halted upon instinct. 

He knew these two men.

The sight of them can make his heart stutter in fear. They are the ones he can never catch up to and can only bow his head to them. 

Father and Big Brother.

Why are they here?

"B-Brother! Father! Why didn't you call me? I would have met you at the gates. Why are you here?" Lin Shen spoke with the utmost respectful tone as they got closer. The congenial smile on his face began to falter when he saw the thunderous look on his father's face. The older man's tall and strapping body became larger in his sight. 

"You! Ungrateful bastard!"

Lin Shen's eyes widened in shock as his father's large hand came tunneling towards him. His brother was within his vision, watching the scene with an indifferent look. 
He couldn't move nor lift his arm to shield his face, he was truly fearful of his father's anger.

That hand connected to his face within a second of thought.

The connecting of flesh was loud to the ears of everyone around them. Lin Shen could only steady himself as he lost balance of his posture when he was slapped. His eyes teared up just as his face burned in pain and embarrassment. There was a loud buzzing in his ear mixed with a panicked shout of his name. 
Lin Shen was in a daze.

His father struck him.

No one has ever laid a hand on him since he was born now..... his father did so?

Why? 

His flesh and blood can be treated like this?

"Lin Shen!" Zhang Rui approached him and brought his dazed state into her arms. She glared at the old man who was doing the same. "How dare you hit him? What is the meaning of this?" She was really playing the role of a loyal woman.

Lin Xian stepped forward with a disdainful smirk on his lips. Zhang Rui's eyes showed her recognition of the man before her and Lin Shen retreated two steps, muttering his brother's name under his breath.
