In name only: In the name of Zhao Mengsheng's son!

Then Zhao Zhongxin regretted it. The reason was simple: Qi Tongwei seemed to have fallen in love with this kind of military training. Every day, he carried 40 kilograms of weight and dragged Zhao Zhongxin to run 5 kilometers!

At first, everyone thought these two guys were just running around for fun, but little did they know they'd been running for four whole years—the entire four years of college! Of course, that's a story for another time!

After military training, classes officially began. This was Zhao Zhongxin's first time meeting Gao Yuliang! To be honest, Gao Yuliang was incredibly charming; he was gentle and refined, and spoke in a logical and articulate manner.

Gao Yuliang has a fervent love for the history of the Ming Dynasty, and he started talking about it with his students as get out of class was about to end!

"Hehe, it seems the information was correct. Everyone says that Professor Gao likes the history of the Ming Dynasty. It seems I need to brush up on my knowledge of the Ming Dynasty."

Qi Tongwei chuckled quietly as he spoke. Qi Tongwei still wanted to improve, but right now it was just simple improvement.

Looking at Qi Tongwei and Gao Yuliang, Zhao Zhongxin suddenly remembered that behind these two were Yan Song and Hu Zongxian. Although Qi Tongwei was not as good as Hu Zongxian and Gao Yuliang was not as cunning as Yan Song, the two still acted as master and disciple, father and son, and neither of them betrayed the other!

"Do you want to be like Hu Zongxian? Hahaha!"

Zhao Zhongxin chuckled!

"Who is Hu Zongxian?!"

"You two stand up. I'll say it from up here, and you say it from down here, right?"

Before Qi Tongwei could finish speaking, Gao Yuliang shouted at him!

Qi Tongwei and Zhao Zhongxin stood up helplessly!

"What are you talking about? Hey, I know you two. Aren't you the two guys who run around the track with backpacks every day? You're so energetic! The tall one and the short, dark one, right?"

After Gao Yuliang shouted something, he suddenly realized that the two people looked very familiar. These two had been running around every day after military training ended!

"Haha, Teacher Gao knows us? My name is Qi Tongwei! His name is..."

Qi Tongwei chuckled, and Gao Yuliang said something to him!

"Stop grinning like that, what are you talking about!"

"Um, did he say I should learn from Hu Zongxian?"

Qi Tongwei was telling the truth, betraying Zhao Zhongxin. Zhao Zhongxin was both amused and exasperated, while Gao Yuliang glanced at Zhao Zhongxin.

"You also know about the history of the Ming Dynasty?"

"It's alright, I only have a vague understanding!"

Zhao Zhongxin smiled and said!

"Then tell me, who is Hu Zongxian?"

Gao Yuliang became interested and asked!

"A talented person, what a pity! Alas!"

Zhao Zhongxin sighed. Gao Yuliang raised an eyebrow.

"Is there a hidden meaning in your words?"

"Hu Zongxian was implicated by Yan Song. If he were to bring down Yan Song, things might be better, but he also cannot allow Yan Song to fall!"

Zhao Zhongxin's words piqued Gao Yuliang's interest even more!

"How so?"

"After all, Hu Zongxian was a student of Yan Song. Anyone could bring down Yan Song, but he alone could not. He could forgo being a renowned minister, but he could not be a villain!"

Zhao Zhongxin's words struck a chord with Gao Yuliang. He felt that even if he were Hu Zongxian, he would not overthrow Yan Song. He could choose not to be a famous minister, but he would not be a villain! He was very satisfied with this student in front of him. Someone who had studied the history of the Ming Dynasty and could say such things must also have a firm will!

"What's your name?"

Gao Yuliang asked a question!

"Zhao Zhongxin!"

Gao Yuliang nodded upon hearing this, just then the bell rang for the end of get out of class!

"I'll remember you two. No talking in class next time. Sit down, you two!"

"get out of class dismissed!"

After Gao Yuliang finished speaking, he tidied up his books and went out.

"Hey, Xin-ge, that's a bit underhanded!"

Qi Tongwei said with dissatisfaction, while Zhao Zhongxin was somewhat dumbfounded!

"what?"

"Did you find out beforehand that Professor Gao likes Ming Dynasty history and secretly studied it? How could you do this? We're brothers!"

Qi Tongwei thought Zhao Zhongxin had secretly researched the teacher's preferences!

"Haha, I really haven't done any research! I just enjoy reading history books! It just so happens to be my interest, and it just so happens to coincide with Professor Gao's interest!"

Zhao Zhongxin couldn't very well say that he watched "Da Ming Dynasty 1566," since that line didn't exist back then!

"real?"

Qi Tongwei glanced at him suspiciously!

Why would I lie to you! Have one!

Zhao Zhongxin pulled out a pack of cigarettes. He was a heavy smoker before he transmigrated, and he still is now. Qi Tongwei refused.

"No, Brother Xin! I don't smoke!"

Qi Tongwei refused for a simple reason: his school fees were all raised by the villagers, so he didn't have any spare money to smoke. Moreover, the moment Zhao Zhongxin offered him the Zhonghua cigarettes, he knew he hadn't misjudged the situation. This person was definitely the son of a high-ranking official, and his future benefactor might very well be Zhao Zhongxin!

Zhao Zhongxin nodded. He didn't try to persuade Qi Tongwei to smoke; he understood Qi Tongwei's thoughts.

Time flies, and it's already mid-month and time for the holidays. Qi Tongwei went straight back to his hometown so he could tell his father and fellow villagers about his experiences at school!

Zhao Zhongxin also got into the car that his father's subordinate came to pick him up!

"Zhongxin! Don't make a scene when you see your dad later! You're father and son, family!"

Zhao Zhongxin knew him. Li Hang was from Northeast China. He was his father's former bodyguard and was now a lieutenant colonel!

"I understand, Uncle Li! Do you smoke?"

Zhao Zhongxin offered him a cigarette, and Li Hang subconsciously took it, wanting to say a few words of advice. But then he suddenly remembered that Zhao Zhongxin was now in college, an adult. What was he supposed to say? Besides, he felt that Zhao Zhongxin had become a different person. Before, he treated them, his father's subordinates, with disdain, but today he was actually calling him "uncle"! Perhaps it really was the old man's passing that had changed this kid so much!

"Smoke less; it's bad for your health!"

That's what they said, but Li Hang just pulled out a lighter, lit a cigarette, and took an epic drag.

"Nine-nine percent perfection, a rare find, is it a special supply for your old man?"

Li Hang could tell the difference immediately!

"Hey, Uncle Li, you're something else! Does my dad still live in the military compound? To be honest, I hate that place!"

Zhao Zhongxin had no idea what Li Hang was thinking. If he had, he would have said, "Why should I argue with a father like that? I'm aiming for a career in politics. The original owner of this body was just a child!"

"Oh? Why?"

Li Hang was somewhat surprised and asked a question!

"My husband trains me like a soldier every day. I suspect I'm so short because of all the training I did when I was a kid!"

Zhao Zhongxin made a joke, leaving Li Hang somewhat dumbfounded! Zhao Zhongxin was half a head taller than him, at least 1.85 meters, and he was still this short? Was that even human?

Do you know what you're saying?

Li Hang was speechless, while Zhao Zhongxin smiled.

"I was just kidding! Hahaha!"
