  Chapter 152: Affe or Major Dedus!

  “Each of us is born into this world, ah is the iable end. Does this mean that loving life and enjoying our time here is meaningless?”

  “I disagree with the example given by the opposier. We don’t have the right to choose to e into this world, but today’s debate topic grants us the right to choose. If the oute of something is destio be bad, why waste our limited lives on something fruitless?”

  “I’d like to remind the opposition that the ‘if’ iopic is a non-definitive term. Sihe word ‘if’ is used, it means the oute isn’t necessarily bad.”

  “Following the logic of the proposition, a good outust be a rare event. Don’t we o estimate the probability of success when we do something? If the likelihood of success is very low, does the proposition still stubbornly proceed?”

  “If you don’t even dare to try, then a good oute will never exist, and you’ll never see the beauty along the way.”

  After the opening statements and questioning, both sides had built up enough frustration to start g in the free debate se.

  This was the decisive point of the debate.

  It was like a quarrel between market women, urained by earlier rules, and the debaters were speaking incessantly.

  The audien the auditorium was emotionally engaged, sitting up straighter without even realizing it.

  In fact, Jiang Qin had been waiting for this moment.

  He saw the propositioer as an angel in white clothing, with small wings and a halo over their head.

  The oppositioer, oher hand, seemed like a little demon in bck clothing, with horns on their head.

  Just like in cartoons, they tinuously presented opposing views, directly challenging the iions of the one who set the topic.

  “The oute is most important!”

  “The process is also beautiful!”

  “Choosing is more important than effort. We shouldn’t do things with a low ce of success when there are higher probability options avaible.”

  “Failure is the mother of success. Cowards are those who don’t dare to try. There are many things in this world that don’t guarantee success, but each failure tributes to growth.”

  Sitting below, Jiang Qin touched his hinking the proposition’s third speaker was eveing to insults, calling people cowards.

  That must result in a major dedu!

  “I think today’s topi be exemplified with love. Many campus retionships end after graduation. I o an alumnus who deeply regretted his uant itment back then.”

  “The example from the opposition is good. Most of us uand that graduation season is often break-up season, but most of us here probably have partners, right? This shows the process is still worth it!”

  “If the success rate of campus romances is so low, why not spend the time studying?”

  “If you truly fall in love with someone, how you give up the warmth of the moment for an uain future? Could you bear to do that?”

  Jiang Qin’s eyes widened, w what was going on with the proposition side. Insulting was ohing, but now they were spouting inappropriate innuendos.

  What was this about affe? That definitely warranted major dedus!

  “Persisting without sidering success rates is irresponsible!”

  “Only sidering success rates leads to perpetual mediocrity!”

  “If the proposition loses today, will you still enjoy the process?”

  “And if the opposition loses, does that mean you wouldn’t even dare to show up today?”

  her side gave in, and the time for the free debate was rapidly running out.

  In such evenly matched circumstances, maers would resort to challenging questions to break their oppos’ defense, like the opposition’s third speaker, a girl who fixed her gaze on the proposition’s third speaker.

  “Do you have someone you like?”

  “What?”

  “You’re ied in a girl but don’t sider whether you offer her a future, only g about the moment. That’s not love… it’s just lust. You just gave a very inappropriate example.”

  The oppositioer stood up, flipping her braid, and pointed directly at the proposition’s third speaker who had mentiohe word “affe.”

  The propositioer was momentarily stunned by the accusation of being lecherous. By the time they recovered to retort, the judge had already rung the bell.

  “The free debate se is now over.”

  “, please, both sides present your closing statements.”

  After a fierce battle of words, the debaters began to summarize their arguments. The judges’ score sheets were collected and tallied on the spot.

  The audien the auditorium, rec from the intense exge, let out a long sigh and rexed bato their seats.

  After the clusion of the summaries, the host, having received the final scores, annouhe results of the petition. Both sides shook hands, creating a harmonious atmosphere in the hall.

  “Did you reend this debate topic?” Zhang Baiqing suddenly turned and asked.

  Jiang Qin nodded: “Yes, there are some things I couldn’t figure out on my own, so I wao use everyone’s brains to think about it.”

  Zhang Baiqing looked at him: “Are you satisfied with the oute?”

  “I don’t know.”

  “If you think the ces of success are low, my advice is not to do it. Your forum is doing well; there’s o branch out unnecessarily.”

  Zhang Baiqing thought he chose this debate topic for his entrepreneurial efforts and kindly advised him.

  “Okay, Principal, I will seriously sider it.”

  Jiang Qin sincerely agreed, and thehe auditorium with Feng Nanshu.

  However, as they were about to step out, a sudden excmation came from outside, as if something ued had happened.

  Curious, they went out and saw a heavy snowfall bing the night sky. In just a moment, the entire campus was covered in a vast white expanse.

  Such heavy snow was rare even in northern cities. The security guard guiding traffic quickly became covered in snow.

  “Jiang Qin, is it snowing?”

  Feng Nanshu extended her hand to catch a snowfke and held it up to Jiang Qin.

  Jiang Qin g it and involuntarily looked up at the sky, watg the snowfkes fluttering down, his expression somewhat lost.

  He regretted not driving there, w why he had insisted on walking.

  “Let’s call Uncle Gong to pick us up, this snow doesn’t look like it will stop anytime soon.”

  “Okay.”

  Feng Nanshu took out her phone and called Uncle Gong.

  She really listeo everything Jiang Qin said, without aation.

  Meanwhile, a figure rushed out from the dispersing crowd, quickly making her way to Jiang Qin.

  “Junior, I publish my serialized novel on your forum?”

  Yao Yanling, the domineering senior from the literature club, now lowered her stance, almost pleading as she asked this question.

  “Fet it, Senior. I’m a yman, I don’t uand your erature.”

  “That was said in anger, I’m sorry.”

  “I accept your apology, but as I said before, your novel doesn’t meet our website’s requirements. I’m a businessman, not a literature enthusiast. I need works that drive traffic.”

  Jiang Qin ht refused her request.

  “Then is Miaomiao’s novel suitable? Is her story more valuable than mine?” Yao Yanling asked through gritted teeth.

  “It’s not for me to judge. It’s the answer given by the whole school. Just look at the popurity of ‘You Are the Colors of Human Life’. The entire school, teachers and students alike, love it.”

  Yao Yanling took a deep breath: “I don’t need a fee, just give me a ce to prove myself!”

  Jiang Qin sighed, “Senior, didn’t you watch the debate just now? The opposition won. If the oute is destio be bad, it’s better not to start at all to avoid getting hurt and sinking into despair.”

  “So what? I have fidence. My work will definitely be better than Shi Miao Miao’s. If you don’t accept it, I’ll publish it myself. You’ll see, everyone will rave about my ‘Lonely City’!”

  “That would be great. I look forward to that moment. After all, if you bee popur, I’ll make money. Go for it, Senior, and prove it to me.”

  As Jiang Qin spoke, a bck Bentley pulled up at the entrance of the auditorium. Uncle Gong lowered the window and called out to the young master and miss.

  Thus, uhe astonished gazes of the onlookers, Jiang Qin and Feng Nanshu got into the car and slowly drove away into the snowy night, leaving only their dashing figures to those watg the snow.

  “Damn, who was that leaving in the Bentley just now?”

  “That’s Jiang Qin, the first-ever Star Student of Lin Uy!”

  “Star Student? What’s that? I’ve never heard of it.”

  “I don’t know, but it sounds impressive.”

  “And that girl, she’s so beautiful. I didn’t see her clearly inside. She’s absolutely stunning.”

  “That’s the boss dy, Feng Nanshu.”

  “Whose boss dy?”

  “How would I know? I only heard six words.”

  Meanwhile, in the back seat of the Bentley, Jiang Qin leaned against the car door, his gaze stantly drifting to the snow-covered outside, silent for a long time.

  Feng Nanshu also silently csped her hands together, her gaze cold, indistinguishable from the typical rid privileged young dy.

  She didn’t know what tonight’s debate meant to Jiang Qin, only feeling that he seemed a bit unhappy, so she was unhappy too.

  After a long time, the slow-moviley finally returo Lin Uy. The campus, bed in the first snow of 2008, was bustling with people. Some were catg snowfkes, others pyfully throwing snowballs.

  Especially those from the south, like Zhou Chao, were thrilled at the sight of snow, wildly enjoying themselves in the snowy grounds in front of the dormitory building.

  “Brother Jiang, over here!”

  “Excited over a little snow?”

  Zhou Chao formed a snowball, “I rarely see it, you know. By the way, where did you go?”

  Jiang Qin found a spot sheltered from the snow and squatted down, brushing snowfkes off his shoulder, “I went to watch a debate.”

  “You have such refiastes?”

  “The topic is something I’ve been p over. I couldn’t decide on my own, so I wao crowdsour answer,” Jiang Qin said, his eyes deep.

  Zhou Chao, not quite uanding, didn’t ask further, “So, do you have an answer now?”

  “Yeah, I got an answer.”

  “Let’s hear it?”

  “Debates are all fug bullshit, not to be trusted!”
