Chapter 1
A Shocking Kneel (Seeking Data)

Handong University.

Hou Liangping, holding a bouquet of flowers, stood at the entrance of the female dormitory, his face radiating a confident smile as he met the astonished gazes of those around him.

For his own future, he had to win over Zhong Xiaoai today.

Just past eight o'clock, Zhong Xiaoai emerged from the dormitory, a smile playing on her lips.

Hou Liangping immediately rushed in front of her, holding up the flowers in his hand, his eyes filled with sincerity as he looked at the girl before him.

“Xiaoai, be my girlfriend!”

A flash of disgust crossed Zhong Xiaoai's eyes. From the beginning, she hadn't given him a good look, but he was like a leech, impossible to shake off.

“This classmate, please respect yourself! This is school, not a place for romance.”

Watching Zhong Xiaoai turn and leave without hesitation, Hou Liangping's face showed a hint of ruthlessness as he followed her.

“Xiaoai, Xiaoai, just give me a chance! I will treat you well for the rest of my life!”

Since learning about Zhong Xiaoai’s background from Chen Hai, Hou Liangping had harbored other thoughts.

For his own future, he had to win over this daughter of privilege.

From a humble background, Hou Liangping believed that with his handsome and dashing appearance, deceiving Zhong Xiaoai, a rich and beautiful girl, would be a piece of cake.

However, contrary to his expectations, Zhong Xiaoai had never looked at him properly.

As graduation approached, and with job assignments looming, Hou Liangping became increasingly anxious.

Zhong Xiaoai's face showed a hint of anger. Hou Liangping’s shameless persistence had irritated her.

“Hou Liangping, as classmates, I don’t want things to get to the point of breaking down completely. You get out of my sight right now, and I'll pretend this never happened!”

Feeling the threat in Zhong Xiaoai's words, Hou Liangping froze in fear.

Watching Zhong Xiaoai walk away, Hou Liangping felt his bright future slipping away.

Was he really going to end up like Qi Tongwei, that fool, relegated to a remote town as an ordinary policeman?

Every day, busy with various trivial matters, with no prospect of advancement.

This dull, uninspired future was not what he wanted.

Zhong Xiaoai, you forced me to do this.

Hou Liangping clenched his teeth, a look of determination in his eyes, and made up his mind.

“Zhong Xiaoai, please be my girlfriend!”

This roar drew the attention of every student passing by.

In full view of everyone, Hou Liangping let out a shrill laugh and knelt down before Zhong Xiaoai.

“Damn, isn't that Hou Liangping from the senior year?”

“What is he doing, has he gone crazy?”

“Damn, kneeling to beg for love, that's too harsh!”

As a prominent figure in the Department of Political Science and Law at Handong University, Hou Liangping was quickly recognized.

The whispers of the surrounding crowd brought a blush of shame to Hou Liangping's face.

A man's knees are his gold, he kneels to heaven, to earth, and to his parents.

With this kneel, he gambled his dignity, his pride as a man.

In the future, the name Hou Liangping might become the laughingstock of everyone at Handong University.

But compared to a bright future, it was all worth it.

“Zhong Xiaoai, be my girlfriend!”

When he shouted these words again, disregarding everything, he saw Zhong Xiaoai finally stop, a smug smile playing on her lips.

His kneeling had completely turned him into a weakling.

The Chinese people always sympathized with the weak.

He hoped to manipulate public sentiment, using this method to force Zhong Xiaoai to give in.

A college student not yet graduated, with a thin skin, in full view of everyone, for the sake of the situation escalating, she would surely agree to him for the time being.

Once he had this title, Hou Liangping believed that with his own methods, he would be able to solidify this relationship.

Seeing the strange looks cast at her, Zhong Xiaoai was thoroughly enraged.

Born into a family of officials, she had heard and seen a lot of this kind of thing, but she never expected to experience it firsthand.

Through Hou Liangping's sincere facade, she saw only shamelessness and smugness.

However, she was still just a college student, thin-skinned, and at a loss for how to deal with such tactics.

“Hou Liangping, can you stop being so shameless! I’ve told you many times, I have a boyfriend!”

The tide had turned. Hou Liangping, kneeling on the ground, now had the air of a victor.

“Zhong Xiaoai, I know it’s all a lie… I don't believe you have a boyfriend!”

“Since that's the case, why not give each other a chance?”

“Xiaoai, believe me, I will bring you happiness!”

Hou Liangping held up the flowers, a smug smile on his face, certain of his victory.
