Qi Tongwei at the start: Not relying on Liang Lu, but winning by a single move against Heaven.

"Hiss~"

Qi Tongwei felt a chill run down his spine and couldn't help but gasp.

He was woken up by Zhong Xiaoai biting him.

He frowned and looked down.

Zhong Xiaoai poked her head out from under the covers, a mischievous grin on her face.

She licked her pink lips, blushed, and spoke softly.

"How is it? Does it feel good?"

Qi Tongwei glanced at the teeth marks on his shoulder but didn't answer. Zhong Xiaoai had already come up.

Last night, the metal bunk bed rocked until the early hours of the morning; he felt he had gone crazy enough.

But he was wrong. Zhong Xiaoai showed him what true madness was.

Zhong Xiaoai closed her eyes and twisted wildly, her voice changing from mournful to wanton.

"I want you to... never... ever... forget me..."

"I want you to remember... what I look like forever..."

Her voice was broken and intermittent, mixed with blush-inducing gasps.

She knew that Qi Tongwei's transfer order could come at any time, and their sweet time together was running out.

After the frenzy, Zhong Xiaoai nestled in Qi Tongwei's arms, her face flushed.

Zhong Xiaoai suddenly turned Qi Tongwei's head, looked him straight in the eyes, and said solemnly.

"Once we reach Bianxi, you are not allowed to look at other girls!"

"I promise I won't watch it. I work in the office and go straight to my dorm after get off work. I don't go shopping..."

"Don't forget me, write to me every week."

"Write, two letters a week."

"No, you have to call me every day..."

"Make the call, use a public phone, it'll save on phone bills..."

The two were exchanging sweet nothings when there was a knock on the dormitory door.

The knocking stopped, and a young male voice rang out.

"Senior Qi Tongwei, are you there?"

"Your application for the rural support program has been approved. Professor Gao wants to see you in his office..."

Zhong Xiaoai was taken aback at first, then immediately burrowed into the quilt, looking just like a frightened fawn.

Qi Tongwei almost burst out laughing when he saw her shy expression.

He suppressed a laugh and shouted towards the door.

"I understand, I'll be there in a bit..."

The junior student responded and left through the door.

Qi Tongwei chuckled and crawled under the covers, resting his head on Zhong Xiaoai's head, teasing her softly.

"You can be shy now? I couldn't tell you were shy just now."

"Don't make fun of me..."

Zhong Xiaoai threw off the covers, puffed out her cheeks, put her hands on her hips, and glared at Qi Tongwei.

But as soon as she said that, she noticed Qi Tongwei's gaze lingering on her.

She immediately gasped, wrapped herself in the blanket, and blushed like a ripe apple.

"Professor Gao is looking for you, aren't you going yet?"

After getting ready, the two walked out of the dormitory one after the other.

He hadn't walked two steps when he ran into Hou Liangping, who was returning from buying breakfast.

Hou Liangping slowed his pace and looked at the two people's clasped hands.

He glanced at Zhong Xiaoai, then at Qi Tongwei, and tentatively asked.

"You two...are you together?"

Zhong Xiaoai blushed and tried to pull her hand back, but Qi Tongwei held it tightly.

Qi Tongwei was quite generous; he raised Zhong Xiaoai's hand and shook it.

"You're asking a question you don't already know the answer to..."

He paused slightly, then added with a smile.

"From now on, we have to change how we address you. We can't call you Xiao Ai anymore; we have to call you sister-in-law..."

Hou Liangping grinned, but the smile was somewhat bitter.

For some reason, seeing Qi Tongwei and Zhong Xiaoai together made him feel a pang of sadness.

Hou Liangping chuckled awkwardly twice and began to change the subject.

"Where are you two going? To eat breakfast?"

As soon as he said it, Hou Liangping was startled.

Having breakfast together? Could it be that they're already sleeping together?

Thinking of this, he felt another inexplicable pang of pain in his heart.

Qi Tongwei answered with a smile.

"My application to support the border regions was approved, and Teacher Gao talked to me."

He noticed Hou Liangping's expression and deliberately pulled Zhong Xiaoai closer to his chest.

After hearing Qi Tongwei's words, Hou Liangping was taken aback, but immediately smiled and spoke.

"Oh dear, you're not going to Yanshan Town? Are you going to go somewhere even harder?"

"Senior brother, you've really lived up to that saying, what was it again..."

"No pain, no gain... From now on, I'll call you a hero for supporting the border regions, right?"

He deliberately raised his voice, wanting the whole hallway to hear, his voice full of sarcasm.

Zhong Xiaoai's face darkened, and she snorted coldly, about to retort, but was pulled back by Qi Tongwei.

Qi Tongwei smiled and patted Zhong Xiaoai's head, signaling her to calm down.

He looked at Hou Liangping, his smile gradually turning cold, and reprimanded him in a deep voice.

"Hou Liangping, are you still a Party member? How can you say such things? Do you still have any Party spirit?"

Qi Tongwei's voice wasn't loud, but it was very serious, and Hou Liangping was startled as soon as he opened his mouth.

"How can your awareness be so low, as a Party member and a civil servant?"

"The nation is calling for support for the development of the western regions, and not only do you not participate, but you also mock me? Do you even deserve to be a Party member?"

After saying that, he pulled Zhong Xiaoai and walked out.

As he passed Hou Liangping, he stopped and spoke slowly again.

"As your senior, let me give you a heads-up."

"Hedonism is unacceptable! You must always remember that you are a Party member and a public servant of the people!"

After saying that, he ignored Hou Liangping and pulled Zhong Xiaoai out of the dormitory building.

Hou Liangping slowly turned around and stared blankly at Qi Tongwei's disappearing figure.

Qi Tongwei is very good at debating and has won two gold medals in debate competitions, which he knows.

But when did Qi Tongwei's political acumen become so high?

After a long silence, Hou Liangping suddenly let out a cold laugh and muttered something through gritted teeth.

"So what if you're high-ranking... you're still being exiled to the frontier... I hope you die in the south..."

After leaving the dormitory building, Qi Tongwei asked Zhong Xiaoai to go get breakfast.

He then went to Gao Yuliang's office alone.

Standing at the door of Gao Yuliang's office, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

He had knocked on this door countless times; today might be the last time.

He took a deep breath and slowly knocked on the door.

"Professor Gao, are you there?"

"Tongwei, come in quickly, we've been waiting for you..."

Gao Yuliang's voice came from inside the door, tinged with laughter.

Qi Tongwei pushed open the door, and Gao Yuliang was making tea, his attitude more enthusiastic than ever before.

He smiled and waved to Qi Tongwei, gesturing for him to sit down and talk.

"Come and try... the Wuyi rock tea your teacher's wife just sent over... it smells wonderful."

After saying that, Gao Yuliang poured Qi Tongwei a cup of tea.

The amber-colored tea was poured into the cup, and its aroma immediately filled the air.

Qi Tongwei did not refuse, picked up the cup, smelled it, and took a sip.

"This is indeed excellent tea! No wonder it was the tribute tea personally selected by Zhu Yuanzhang..."

Gao Yuliang was somewhat surprised. He looked at Qi Tongwei with a playful smile.

"Oh? You know this is tribute tea from the Ming Dynasty? You also study Ming history?"

Gao Yuliang was a great lover of Ming Dynasty history, and his predecessor, Qi Tongwei, catered to his interests and did a lot of research on it.

He took another sip of tea and nodded.

"In front of you, I can't say I'm doing any research; I've just flipped through a few pages."

Qi Tongwei did not want to dwell on this matter any further.

He paused briefly, then spoke with a smile.

"Teacher Gao, has my application to support the border regions been approved?"

Gao Yuliang nodded, took a brown paper bag from the desk, and handed it over.

"Approved! This is a notification forwarded from the Provincial Organization Department..."

Seeing Qi Tongwei take the file bag, he added another sentence.

"The document is still fresh in my mind. I haven't even looked at it yet, and I've already called you here."

Qi Tongwei gave a perfunctory reply, opened the file bag, and pulled out the documents.

The red title is very eye-catching, in standard Song typeface, size 2.

Notification Regarding Comrade Qi Tongwei Reporting to the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee

Upon seeing the title, both Qi Tongwei and Gao Yuliang were taken aback.

The reporting location was actually the Organization Department of Bianxi Province?

Qi Tongwei frowned slightly, slowly raised his head, and looked at Gao Yuliang.

"Teacher, could there be a mistake? I just graduated, and I'm supposed to report to the Organization Department of the Bianxi Provincial Party Committee?"
