“These are the books I’ve been reading recently, you can take a look.” Qi Tong Wei picked a few books from the bookshelf and handed them to Pei Qian Qian.
Taking the books, Pei Qian Qian flipped through a few pages before looking up at Qi Tong Wei, “Tong Wei, you are truly excellent.”
“You’re flattering me, I’ve only done what I should have.”
Pei Qian Qian’s heart warmed. Looking at Qi Tong Wei’s ordinary yet resolute face, a nameless courage welled up within her.
She decided to no longer hide her feelings and tell Qi Tong Wei about her affections for him.
However, just as she was about to speak, a rush of footsteps interrupted her thoughts.
Looking up, she saw a familiar figure rushing towards them – it was her father, Pei Yi Hong.
Seeing Pei Qian Qian and Qi Tong Wei sitting together, Pei Yi Hong’s face showed a hint of displeasure.
Walking up to them, he said to Pei Qian Qian in a stern voice, “Qian Qian, come with me.”
Her father must be angry about her relationship with Qi Tong Wei.
She looked at Qi Tong Wei with apologies and reluctance in her eyes.
But, under her father’s authority, she had no choice but to follow him.
Before leaving, she glanced back at Qi Tong Wei. His face was filled with disappointment and helplessness.
Pei Qian Qian’s heart ached. She felt powerless to prevent the potential harm she might cause Qi Tong Wei.
Leaving the library with her father, she was filled with unease and anxiety.
Her birth and status condemned her to a life where she couldn't love and hate like ordinary people.
She could only silently bear this pain and helplessness, continuing to walk her own path.
Qi Tong Wei sat there, watching Pei Qian Qian leave.
This was reality.
He had to face this cruel world and keep moving forward.
But Qi Tong Wei didn’t give up.
So, he silently endured pain and setbacks, growing and progressing in adversity.
The story of Pei Qian Qian and Qi Tong Wei unfolded silently on this youthful campus.
What kind of storms and tests would they face?
Where would their love lead?
All of this was unknown.
...
Handong University.
The sun blazed above, and Qi Tong Wei stood in a corner of the field, gazing at the busy students ahead, his heart filled with bitterness.
Not far away, Chen Yang’s mother, Wang Fu Zhen, was chatting softly with a few classmates, her eyes occasionally sweeping over Qi Tong Wei with disdain and contempt.
In Wang Fu Zhen’s eyes, Qi Tong Wei would always be a man with dishonest intentions, not worthy of any connection with her precious daughter, Chen Yang.
He smiled wryly and turned away from the field, walking alone into a small restaurant outside the school.
The restaurant was not crowded. Qi Tong Wei found a corner and sat down, ordering a few bottles of beer.
He was feeling heavy today, but he didn't know why, he just wanted to drink, to temporarily forget those worries.
After a few bottles of beer, Qi Tong Wei’s thoughts drifted.
He thought back to his days with Chen Yang, those sweet times, and those insurmountable divides.
He understood that he and Chen Yang were destined to be people from different worlds.
Breakup was perhaps their only way out.
Qi Tong Wei was still reluctant.
He felt that he could change everything for Chen Yang, as long as she was willing, he would pay any price.
But even if he really changed, he wouldn't be accepted by Wang Fu Zhen.
In her eyes, he would forever be the man with dishonest intentions, forever unworthy of being compared with her precious daughter's future.
At that moment, Qi Tong Wei’s phone suddenly rang.
He picked it up and saw that it was Liang Lu calling.
His brow furrowed, a sense of foreboding surged within him.
On the other end of the line, Liang Lu’s voice was cold and ruthless, "Qi Tong Wei, you're quite daring, you actually dared to offend me. Let me tell you, I've already arranged your work assignment, just you wait!"
Qi Tong Wei’s heart sank.
This time he had truly offended Liang Lu.
He had thought that as long as he didn't provoke her, he could avoid any interaction with her.
But he didn't expect that she would eventually target him.
After hanging up the phone, Qi Tong Wei’s mood became even heavier.
His work assignment would definitely be affected, and he might even lose this job.
But what worried him even more was, if he really lost this job, how would he face Chen Yang?
How would he face his future?
At that moment, a thought suddenly flashed through Qi Tong Wei’s mind!
Yes, he remembered that when he was forced to commit suicide on Eagle Ridge, his consciousness suddenly became blurry.
When he woke up again, he found that he had returned to 1992, to this era that he both loved and hated.
Qi Tong Wei couldn't help but laugh bitterly.
This rebirth wasn't a good thing at all, it might actually put him in even more danger.
But since he had been reborn, he had to face reality.
He couldn’t walk down that thorny old path again.
But reality was cruel.
Qi Tong Wei knew that even if he was reborn, he couldn't change Wang Fu Zhen’s opinion of him.
Nor could he change Chen Yang’s feelings for him.
The only thing he could do was quickly find a new path, one that would allow him to survive in this era.
