The much-anticipated debate competition between Peking University and Hong Kong University has officially begun, and the lineup is even stronger than last year.
The judges are still some highly respected professors.
"Now, please welcome the second speaker of the opposing side, Jian Yunxi, from the Beijing University Debate Team."
The host's voice echoed in the auditorium. Jian Yunxi felt his throat tighten and he swallowed three times before he could barely relieve it.
The spotlight in the Centennial Auditorium was too dazzling. Amid the dark crowd below the stage, she seemed to be able to feel Lu Yang's focused gaze. This was the first time he came to watch her debate, and Jian Yunxi was inexplicably nervous.
"Dear judges, audience, and opposing debaters."
Her voice was trembling at first, but she soon found the rhythm of the debate team training. "We believe that campus lovers are not destined to break up after graduation. The key to judging whether a relationship can continue is not the change of external environment, but whether both parties have the willingness and ability to grow together..."
Her opening statement was logically rigorous, citing her own survey data and relevant psychological research.
"Hey, Lu Yang, you know what, Jian Yunxi looks like Legally Blonde in this outfit!"
Lu Yang glanced at Jiang Mu and didn't want to pay attention to him, but what Jiang Mu said was what he was thinking.
Jian Yunxi was wearing a light grey suit that was just below the knee, dignified and elegant. Her hair was spread out behind her, making her eyes look brighter and more determined.
Lu Yang looked at Jian Yunxi like this, stroking her with his fingers. He suddenly wanted to hide her and only show her to him.
Guo Xinyue was making a heart gesture to Jian Yunxi in the audience, but Sun Qimiao slapped her in the face and said, "Don't disturb Yunxi's performance!"
"Okay, I'll keep doing my best!"
Jian Yunxi's lips unconsciously lifted up, and his voice became more determined: "...Therefore, graduation is only a change in geographical location, not a change in the nature of the relationship. As long as both parties maintain effective communication and establish common goals, campus love can continue to the next stage of life."
"What's the next stage? Marriage? Lu Yang?"
Jiang Mu's teeth almost ache when he hears Jian Yunxi talking. Why is this girl Jian Yunxi still having ulterior motives? She is so young and she is already thinking about getting married.
"Jiang Mu, you are the leader of HKU, go back to your team."
Lu Yang understood very well the impatience that Jian Yunxi felt when talking to Jiang Mu, and he couldn't stand it anymore.
"Tsk, what qualifications do you, a Tsinghua University student, have to criticize me?"
Applause broke out, and Jian Yunxi bowed and returned to her seat. The first debater next to her leaned over and whispered, "You performed even better than in rehearsal!"
Jian Yunxi couldn't help laughing.
The debate soon entered a free exchange phase.
The second debater from HKU was the first to raise his hand to ask a question.
He stood up straight and his voice was deep and powerful: "Excuse me, second speaker of the opposing side, you mentioned the 'willingness to grow together', but according to the latest data from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the breakup rate of long-distance relationships is as high as 79%, of which 68% is caused by differences in future development. When two people's career trajectories are forced to separate, how can this 'willingness' be transformed into actual action?"
"Cheng Yu, the best debater of HKU last year, is a very capable person and he has a very venomous tongue. I wonder if my cousin can handle him?"
Lu Yang knew that this was a debate, but from a man's perspective, he suddenly realized that the way Cheng Yu stared at Jian Yunxi was too direct.
Jiang Mu also noticed: "Damn, this kid, just talk, why is he always looking at his cousin?"
"The other debaters have repeatedly emphasized the decisive role of realistic factors," she looked directly into Cheng Yu's eyes, "but may I ask, if love is so fragile and cannot withstand the slightest test, then what is its value? The reason why feelings during school years are precious is precisely because they are relatively pure and not affected by material conditions. If you can maintain this purity after graduation, it will become a force against the secular world."
Cheng Yu retorted: "Pure feelings require a pure environment. When faced with realistic pressures such as buying a house, raising children, and supporting parents after graduation, the romantic feelings of campus life are often vulnerable."
"He seems to be targeting my cousin." Even a slow-witted person like Jiang Mu noticed it, but Lu Yang was relieved. Jian Yunxi's greatest characteristic is that she becomes stronger when facing a stronger opponent. Such a strong opponent can further stimulate her potential.
"So your advice is to give up before you get into trouble?"
Jian Yunxi unconsciously raised her voice, "This is like refusing to learn to walk because you are afraid of falling! Difficulties themselves are not a reason to break up, avoiding difficulties is."
Discussions also broke out in the audience.
Huang Miao felt that Jian Yunxi was very different today: "It's over, I'm going to fall in love with Yunxi!"
"Me too..." Guo Xinyue also held her chin and looked at Jian Yunxi in fascination.
"Actually, me too!" Sun Qimiao felt that Jian Yunxi was glowing and eye-catching at this moment!
Kyoto University ultimately won with a slight advantage, and the members of the Kyoto University debate team hugged each other.
When it was their turn to shake hands, Cheng Yu walked up to Jian Yunxi and said, "Jian Yunxi, you are amazing!"
Jian Yunxi felt that he seemed even more powerful because she didn't even remember his name.
"No, you are more professional."
Seeing Cheng Yu take the initiative to talk to Jian Yunxi, Jiang Mu said to Lu Yang with a gossipy and sympathetic look on his face: "Your love rival is here!"
"What nonsense!"
What Lu Yang can be sure of is that Jian Yunxi's dazzling appearance today will definitely attract many people's attention, but if he wants to become his love rival, he will have to wait for the next life.
Jian Yunxi didn't expect that the second debater from HKU could not only debate, but also chat. In fact, she was extremely anxious, and she urgently needed to share this good news with her boyfriend, cousin and roommates.
