Chapter 1834 - 1835: Future Concerns

Today, many scientific researchers are fighting on the front line, and many troops are stationed at the border. It is precisely because their significant others share their love selflessly that they have no worries about the future. Imagine, without selfless sharing, would our country and society be as prosperous and strong as they are now?

So, I ask you, dear debaters of the affirmative side, are you willing to share your girlfriend?

Not only did this perfectly resolve the issue, but it also countered Yan Xiaoman's response. It's not so much changing the concept, but rather changing the perspective and direction to answer, yet the effect was excellent. She elevated the minor love between a couple to the great love without borders. After a brief silence, the audience erupted into enthusiastic applause.

Lin Xian found it very interesting. After two days of debate competition, he realized that Yan Xiaoman was good at elevating her viewpoint, which is commonly known as taking the moral high ground.

Although this tactic doesn't add points in a debate, it can easily defuse the opponent's tricky questions. It's a very practical strategy.

Obviously, Xijiao University also realized this issue, so in the time that followed, they didn't give Yan the opportunity, instead choosing a steady strategy.

Their strategy was very correct because, in terms of strength, Xijiao University is indeed stronger than FD at the moment, mainly because of their star debater, Team Leader Wang Yang.

This person's ability to think critically and his knowledge reserve were extremely outstanding; he could easily reference various domestic and foreign historical allusions and poetry works.

In comparison, Wang Li was somewhat inferior.

From the beginning to now, Wang Li has been in a suppressed state. As for Mo Xiaoliang, her ability is fine, but she mainly lacks experience. After all, she has just started her freshman year of college two months ago, and this was her first formal debate competition. Her performance was already outstanding.

The final result was as expected, with Xijiao University defeating the FD University team with a score of 5 to 4 and advancing to the top eight.

Let's go!

As the competition ended, Lin Xian slowly stood up.

The next matches weren't necessary to watch, and he also wanted to comfort his little girlfriend whose expression was somewhat disappointed.

Zhou Hui stood up and followed him, leaving Xianghui Hall. They waited for a while on the lawn outside Xianghui Hall and soon saw Yan Xiaoman and Wang Li among four people walking over.

Sorry, it's all my fault!

Wang Li slightly lowered her head and apologized self-blamingly.

Everyone could see that Wang Li's personal strength was indeed not as good as Xijiao's Wang Yang but the reason for losing the match was not just because of her. It was due to the overall strength being inferior.

Zhu Xianfeng comforted: "Senior, don't say that. We are a team, and Xijiao's strength is indeed very strong, and they performed excellently today."

Although Yan Xiaoman's expression was as usual, Lin Xian still saw a trace of disappointment in her eyes. He walked up gently embracing her shoulders and chuckled: "Disappointed?"

Yan Xiaoman leaned on his shoulder and said softly, "I participated in the match with the mentality of learning. It's not about winning or losing. As long as I can learn something, then I've gained."

He could naturally tell that Yan Xiaoman was speaking from her heart and not just saying something to save face.

It's clear that his little girlfriend's mindset is not bad!

In fact, for freshmen participants, the national debate is very unfriendly. Freshmen, whether in terms of competition experience or knowledge reserve and breadth, cannot compare with those juniors and seniors. Xijiao's lineup this time is very strong mainly because of a star debater along with three seniors. In comparison, FD University's side is somewhat lacking.

Only the captain, Wang Li, is a senior. Zhu Xianfeng and Wang Weizhong are both sophomores, and they only have experience in internal debate competitions. They've never participated in such a national competition before. However, this is not without benefits. Once Yan Xiaoliang and the others mature through experience, FD University will have a chance at winning the championship in the next National Debate in two years.

The transition from old to new is normal. The most worrying is the lack of successor. Xijiao University's results in the previous National Debate were not good because, at that time, their team members were also inexperienced newcomers.

Through experience and growth, they have this strong lineup in this edition. Lin Xian slightly lowered his head, looking at her, and asked: "Now that the competition is over, how do you feel?"

Suddenly I feel so tired!

Yan Xiaoman leaned in his arms, looking very languid.

During this time, she had been very tense, and now suddenly relaxing gave her a sense of relief.

At the same time, fatigue surged from the depths of her heart like a tide.

Lin Xian affectionately said: "If you're tired, rest well! You can eat whatever you want, do whatever you want." Yan Xiaoman nestled in his arms, feeling his heartbeat and smelling his scent, only feeling extremely comfortable. Hearing him say this, her eyes brightened, and she coquettishly said: "I want to eat French cuisine, braised yellow croaker, seafood, and also want to have a spa treatment!"

Sure, as long as you're happy.

Lin Xian, you're so nice!

Yan Xiaoman's eyes gradually welled up with mist, and her voice was sweetly sickening. On the side, Zhou Hui felt disgusted and wanted to set the lovebirds on fire. "Bah, so jealous!"

Huh? Where did the seniors go?

Looking up, Yan Xiaoman suddenly noticed that Wang Li and the other two were gone. Hearing this, Zhou Hui curled her lips and said, "They left early, not wanting to stick around to see people flaunt their love."

Lin Xian and Yan Xiaoman immediately felt the resentment of single people emanating towards them. "So sour and jealous."

Holding back laughter, Lin Xian invited: "Shall we have dinner together tonight?"

Zhou Hui shook her head like a rattle, decisively refusing.

"What a joke, last time I was almost overwhelmed by their lovey-dovey behavior. I'd rather die than go this time. I won't be a third wheel, I'm leaving first!"

With that, Zhou Hui waved and turned to leave.

"Trying to shove dog food down my throat?"

Not happening.

Watching Zhou Hui's departing back, Lin Xian and Yan Xiaoman turned around and exchanged smiles.

Arriving at the hotel in the Rolls-Royce Phantom, it was not yet five. Since it was still early for dinner and they were not yet hungry, Lin Xian took Yan Xiaoman for a spa treatment first.

After the treatment, it was already eight o'clock in the evening. Yan Xiaoman looked radiant, feeling extremely comfortable all over, even walking was light.

Lin Xian was the same.

It had to be said, the masseurs at this store in Shanghai truly had excellent massage skills. After generously tipping a few hundred yuan, the two felt refreshed and a bit wobbly as they took the elevator back to their room. As soon as they entered the room, Xiaoman eagerly picked up the tablet to order dishes.

This time she wasn't indecisive because Lin Xian had said she could order whatever she wanted. So, the little foodie ordered more than a dozen dishes she wanted to eat, from French to Chinese cuisine.

As VIP customers, the hotel's several restaurants were very efficient. In less than half an hour, the butler and Tina, the server, pushed a dining cart into the room. After dismissing the server and Tina, the two sat down at the dining table to savor the food and their two-person world. Picking up a piece of pan-seared scallop, Gu Xiao suddenly thought of something and curiously asked: "By the way, a few days ago, Zhang Mengyao said she wasn't feeling well. What exactly happened? Is it serious?"

Sure enough, these two girls seemed to not get along, but they actually had a good relationship, definitely more genuine than those superficial friendships.

Hearing this, Lin Xian was a little surprised and hesitated, "Uh... It seems she twisted her ankle while running, making it inconvenient to walk. It's not too serious, she'll be fine with a few days of rest."
