But he didn't feel discouraged or disappointed, because he had proven his worth in this contest.
After the game, Qi Tongwei and Chen Yang walked out of the playground together.
They walked side by side, chatting and laughing along the way.
Qi Tongwei had a deeper understanding of Chen Yang's background. He knew that she came from a politically influential family, her father being the director of the Jingzhou Public Security Bureau.
“Qi Tongwei, you are really brave. It's not easy to stick to your own views in a campus full of power.” Chen Yang said, looking at Qi Tongwei.
Qi Tongwei smiled slightly and said, “I just did what I was supposed to do. I believe that as long as we uphold the truth, we can overcome any difficulties.”
The two chatted as they walked, and before they knew it, they had reached the entrance of the school's library.
Chen Yang invited Qi Tongwei to go to the library to read, and he readily agreed.
In the library, they discussed many issues about politics and society, and their friendship deepened during this exchange.
However, as they were immersed in the ocean of knowledge, a sudden incident shattered the tranquility of the campus.
It turned out that shortly after Qi Tongwei and Chen Yang left the playground, Liang Lu suddenly fainted on the playground.
Liang Lu's father was the deputy secretary of the Han Dong Political and Legal Affairs Commission and the director of the Public Security Department, her family background was equally prominent.
This news quickly spread throughout the campus.
Qi Tongwei and Chen Yang also heard the news.
They decided to go and see how Liang Lu was doing.
When they arrived at the playground, they saw that Liang Lu had already been taken to the infirmary for treatment.
In the infirmary, they met a girl named Zhong Xiaoai.
Zhong Xiaoai was Liang Lu's good friend and one of the witnesses to the incident.
She told Qi Tongwei and Chen Yang that Liang Lu fainted because she suddenly felt unwell.
The doctor had already conducted a preliminary examination, but the specific cause needed further investigation to determine.
Qi Tongwei and Chen Yang stayed in the infirmary with Liang Lu for a while.
Looking at Liang Lu's pale complexion and weak body, they couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in their hearts.
They knew that Liang Lu was a kind and strong girl, and she shouldn't suffer such pain.
Just then, a burly middle-aged man suddenly walked into the infirmary.
This person was Liang Lu's father, Liang Qunfeng, the deputy secretary of the Han Dong Political and Legal Affairs Commission and the director of the Public Security Department.
His appearance made everyone present feel a little nervous and uneasy.
Liang Qunfeng walked to Liang Lu's bedside, looked at his daughter's pale complexion and weak body, and a trace of pain and anger flashed in his eyes.
He turned his head and said to Qi Tongwei and Chen Yang, “Thank you for being here with my daughter. I will find out the truth and give everyone an explanation.”
After saying this, Liang Qunfeng turned and left the infirmary.
This day's experience made Qi Tongwei deeply realize the importance of power and status.
In a campus full of political struggle, in order to gain a foothold and earn respect, one must have enough power and status to support oneself.
And he also decided to strive for this goal.
Night fell, and Qi Tongwei lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
Recalling today's experience and the support and companionship of his friends Chen Yang, Liang Lu, and Zhong Xiaoai, his heart was filled with gratitude.
There was still a long way to go, and many difficulties to overcome, but he believed that as long as he persevered, he would surely achieve his dreams and goals.
At the same time, Qi Tongwei also realized that there were many unknown secrets and struggles hidden within the campus.
And these struggles would also affect the future fate of him and his friends.
...
The next day.
Pei Qianqian stood at the edge of the playground, her eyes lost in the distance, looking at the basketball court, where a group of young students were sweating and pursuing their youthful dreams.
But her heart was filled with indescribable mixed emotions.
Pei Qianqian came from a prominent family. Her father, Pei Yihong, was the top leader of Hanjiang Province, with immense power and influence.
However, she was not as glamorous as the outside world imagined. Instead, she felt pressure because of her family background.
She was afraid that every move she made would be scrutinized under a microscope, afraid that her shortcomings would be magnified infinitely, becoming the talk of the town.
Therefore, she always carefully concealed her true self, not daring to love or hate.
This day, Pei Qianqian came to the playground to see someone - Qi Tongwei.
He was Pei Qianqian's classmate, a poor student from the countryside.
But he, through his hard work and talent, stood out at Han Dong University, becoming a focal point of attention.
Pei Qianqian had an inexplicable affection for Qi Tongwei, admiring his talent and resilience, and she was also moved by his sincerity and kindness.
However, she didn't dare to reveal her feelings, because she was afraid that her identity would become a barrier between them.
As Pei Qianqian was lost in thought, she suddenly saw Qi Tongwei walking over from the basketball court.
He had a sunny smile on his face, radiating youthful vitality.
Pei Qianqian's heart beat involuntarily faster, feeling an unprecedented nervousness and excitement.
Qi Tongwei walked to Pei Qianqian and greeted her with a smile, “Qianqian, you're here too.”
Pei Qianqian nodded, trying to make her voice sound calm, “Yeah, I came for a walk.”
Qi Tongwei didn't seem to notice Pei Qianqian's unusual behavior and continued to chat, “Are you feeling stressed with your studies recently? Do you want to go to the library to relax?”
She was about to refuse, but seeing Qi Tongwei's expectant eyes, she couldn't bear to disappoint him.
So, she nodded, accepting Qi Tongwei's invitation.
The two of them went to the library together and found a quiet corner to sit down.
