He first gave a passionate campaign speech, but unfortunately the five people before him had already said similar words, and the audience felt a little bored and lost interest.
However, this boy had no intention of running for the Youth League Secretary. He went on stage just to confirm and explain something.
After finishing his campaign speech, without waiting for the sparse applause from the audience to end, he suddenly looked at Han Zhou, who was clapping his thigh with one hand, and asked, "Student Han Zhou, can I ask you a question?"
Han Zhou raised his eyebrows slightly. Why is someone asking him a question again? He remembered this boy, whose name was Li Kaiyang, from Haicheng. The two had no intersection before today.
The others were also attracted by Li Kaiyang's sudden question and immediately became interested. They turned their heads to look at Han Zhou at the back of the classroom with expressions of watching the fun on their faces.
"Just ask." Han Zhou said calmly.
Li Kaiyang took a deep breath and asked, "What I want to ask is, did you pass by Chengyang Avenue on the day your hand was injured?"
Han Zhou was stunned, not knowing what the question meant. After thinking for a while, he said, "I'm sorry, I don't know much about the area around the school. I don't know if I've passed by the place you mentioned."
"Then let me ask you another question. On the first day of school, did you save a child from falling from a building?"
When Li Kaiyang said this, everyone in the class was stunned.
Li Kaiyang looked excited and continued, "When you first came on stage to introduce yourself, I felt that you looked familiar. I felt like I had seen you somewhere before. Later, when classmate Lu Hu reminded me of the injury on your arm, I realized that it might be you."
"That day I saw someone catch a child who fell from a building. That person should be you. Your hand was injured because of rescuing someone that day, right?"
I had a brain storm yesterday and there was a mistake. Lu Hu wanted to be the Youth League Secretary, not the deputy monitor. I have changed it to Xiao Xiaoxiao who remembered it wrong and then was corrected by Han Zhou.

Chapter 132 Encouraging the Emperor to Take Action Again
Li Kaiyang's words shocked everyone in the class, so much so that the entire classroom fell into a brief silence.
We hear about saving lives every day, but for many people it is the first time they meet a savior right next to them.
Everyone looked at Han Zhou eagerly, wanting to confirm whether what Li Kaiyang just said was true. Chen Long's eyes widened and he asked in a loud voice: "Fuck, is this true? You were injured because of saving someone?"
Xiao Xiaoxiao was also surprised. She looked at Han Zhou in disbelief and felt that perhaps she needed to get to know this guy again.
Facing everyone's eager gaze, even Han Zhou felt a little uncomfortable with his thick skin, but there was nothing wrong with admitting such a thing, so he replied: "I did save a child, and my hand was injured that day."
After the words fell, Li Kaiyang was immediately excited, and said excitedly: "I knew it was you! I wanted to meet you that day, but unfortunately you walked too fast, and I was blocked by a group of people and couldn't catch up. I could only watch you walk away."
He became more and more excited as he spoke, and finally rushed down from the podium and came to Han Zhou excitedly, "I remember there were two girls beside you at that time, all of them were very young, and they were dragging suitcases. I was wondering if you were also from Lincheng University. I didn't expect that you were not only in this school, but also happened to be in the same class as me. What a coincidence."
He was breathing rapidly and looked like a fanatical fan. If you didn't know him, you would think the person in front of him was not a classmate he just met, but a popular star.
Xiao Xiaoxiao pushed him away with an unhappy look on her face. This guy was too close. Didn’t he see there was another person here?
She pricked up her ears to listen, then slowly opened the thermos she brought and drank a sip of water.
"Brilliant!"
Chen Long first gave Han Zhou a thumbs up, then looked at Li Kaiyang and asked curiously, "No, buddy, Han Zhou is great at saving people, but there is no need for you to be so excited. Could it be that the child who was rescued is your relative?"
The last sentence was a joke of course, but this guy's fanatical behavior is indeed not normal.
Li Kaiyang shook his head first, then nodded, his facial expression changing again and again, and he said with a bit of shame: "You're right, I found out later that the child is actually somewhat related to me. It seems that he is the child of my third aunt's uncle's sister-in-law's daughter's nephew's sister's brother-in-law's daughter's child. We are quite distantly related."
"puff!"
Seeing that this man could actually say such a long string of nonsense in a serious manner, Xiao Xiaoxiao couldn't help but spray all the water in her mouth onto Han Zhou's face beside her, and lowered her head and coughed continuously.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
She raised her head and looked around, and saw that Han Zhou was suddenly "sweating profusely". She was stunned at first, and then suddenly realized something. Her expression suddenly changed, and she felt around her body, but she didn't touch a piece of paper after searching for a long time.
"Yes, I'm sorry..."
Fortunately, Han Zhou didn't care. He wiped the water off his face calmly, then silently took out a tissue from his pocket and said thankfully: "Fortunately, you didn't drink boiling water."
"You talk too much!"
Xiao Xiaoxiao felt a little embarrassed. She first glared at the culprit Li Kaiyang, blaming this guy for talking nonsense. Then she lowered her head slightly, grabbed the tissue and helped Han Zhou wipe the water off his body.
Everyone couldn't help laughing, but what they cared more about at this moment was Li Kaiyang, who looked remorseful. They wanted to know from him the causes and consequences of the rescue incident.
Chen Long was dazed at this moment, his mind still on Li Kaiyang's answer, and he didn't even notice that Han Zhou was sprayed with water. He asked, "What are you talking about? Are you serious?"
He suspected that this guy was joking.
"Of course I'm serious." Unexpectedly, Li Kaiyang looked serious and said in a serious tone, "There's no need for me to joke about this kind of thing."
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Deng Xue, who was sitting not far away, raised her hand cautiously and asked weakly, "May I ask, how did you remember such a long prefix?"
What she really wanted to ask was "Why do you need to remember such a long prefix?", but because of her momentary nervousness, the question went astray.
However, Li Kaiyang understood what she meant: "It is indeed not easy to remember. The main reason is that I want to completely draw a line between myself and this relative and never have any contact with them again."
Having said this, the guilt on his face became even more intense, and he solemnly said "I'm sorry" to Han Zhou.
Everyone was confused. Wasn't he saving someone? Why did he apologize to Han Zhou again? What happened on the first day of school?
In fact, even if you don't remember it, you probably won't have any contact with such distant relatives in the future...
Moreover, Han Zhou really wanted to remind Li Kaiyang that this guy might have remembered it wrongly. The names of some relatives were not correct at all. Isn’t the uncle’s sister-in-law’s brother-in-law the uncle himself?
He complained in his heart, but unlike others, he certainly knew why Li Kaiyang apologized to him, and shook his head and said, "It's nothing, you don't have to apologize to me."
"I'm not apologizing on behalf of my shameless relatives, I'm apologizing for my stupidity!"
Li Kaiyang said seriously, "As a college student who just finished his high school physics exam, I didn't realize that you were probably injured, otherwise I might have recognized you a long time ago."
Why are we talking about high school physics again... Chen Long became more and more confused. He scratched his head and asked, "What are you talking about?"
This is also a question that others want to ask.
At this moment, Chen Zheng, who had been silent all this time, spoke up: "I've already told you that this is the information age. If you have anything to say, just check it online. It's impossible for something as important as saving someone to not leave traces online. While you were scratching your head, I've already found posts related to the incident."
He pushed up his glasses and looked at the post on his phone calmly, as if he had everything under control. It would have been better if his glasses could reflect some light at this time.
Chen Long was delighted at first, but then he said impatiently: "If you found it, why don't you just tell me directly? Why are you pretending to be cool with your mouth shut?"
Thank you, my real mouth substitute.
Many people in the class had the same idea in their minds and silently gave a thumbs up to this straightforward sports committee member, thinking that they would continue to support him to become a formal class committee member in a month.
Chen Zheng's face froze. He was so engrossed in looking for the post that he forgot he was in the classroom. Seeing so many eyes in the class staring at him, he felt uncomfortable all over and his mind went blank. He wanted to escape from the classroom immediately and dared not speak.
Fortunately, Li Kaiyang finally realized that he had not explained the events of that day to everyone properly, so he volunteered: "Let me tell the story. I have read the posts online, and some of them are just nonsense. The comments are completely irresponsible, and the comments are even more disgusting. It would be more objective for me to tell the story."
It was clearly the time for the election of League branch secretary, and everyone could go back to the dormitory to rest after the election. But even though their time was taken up, no one in the class felt impatient, including several candidates, who were all silently waiting for Li Kaiyang's next words.
As the new class monitor, Tang Wenshuang did not say much. She was also very curious about the rescue incident that Li Kaiyang mentioned. Since everyone had no objection, there was no need to interrupt everyone's interest.
Among all the people, only Lu Hu felt annoyed. He had just questioned in front of the whole class whether Han Zhou was pretending to be injured. Now someone suddenly suggested that the other party was injured while saving someone. This was undoubtedly a slap in his face.
"Brother, please tell me now. I feel like there are bugs crawling all over my body."
"Say it quickly."
"I seem to have heard some similar rumors, but I don't know if it's the same thing..."
"..."
Under the urging of everyone, Li Kaiyang, who had organized his words well, finally spoke.
"The situation that day was quite dangerous. It probably started because a child was not properly supervised and somehow ran onto the balcony and accidentally fell from the seven or eight storey building."
"what!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Some people with strong imagination ability instantly thought of some tragic scenes and couldn't help but exclaim.
Xiao Xiaoxiao curled her lips secretly, these guys were really making a fuss out of nothing, they had never seen the world at all.
She stole a glance at Han Zhou.
"The reaction of the onlookers at that time was similar to everyone's now. I had the same reaction too. The scene was in chaos. People who were far away didn't dare to approach, and those who were close fled quickly. No one thought of catching the child. The most they could do was to call 120 as soon as possible, because everyone knew that being hit by a child falling from such a high place was a very dangerous thing."
Even though several days had passed, whenever Li Kaiyang thought of it, he still felt his blood boiling and he slammed the table with an excited look on his face.
"And at this critical moment, something unexpected happened to everyone. A figure rushed out of the crowd like white lightning, shouting 'Destiny is with me'. Almost in an instant, he came downstairs, leaped up suddenly, and caught the child who was about to fall to the ground in time. Then he made a quick decision and used rotation and rolling to relieve the force... Well, I don't know what he did, but the result was that the child was saved safely and avoided the fate of withering away."
Everyone was stunned. No, you are telling a story here?
But it does sound like there is something going on...
Xiao Xiaoxiao looked at Han Zhou with a strange expression and whispered, "Is it really as exaggerated as he said? Also, why did you shout "The destiny is in my hands?"
God, destiny is in my hands...
Hearing people bragging about him like that, even Han Zhou felt a little embarrassed and explained, "It's not 'God's will', I just asked a friend to help me look after my luggage, and he said 'wait for me here'..."
He looked at the excited Li Kaiyang. How could this guy have the nerve to say that his statement was more objective than others...
After a short silence, someone asked in confusion: "That... Li Kaiyang, right? How should I put it? It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that you're exaggerating. If you said the third or fourth floor, I might not doubt it, but the seventh or eighth floor is a bit too high. Even if you want to catch a newborn baby with your bare hands, you might get seriously injured..."
He did not choose to verify directly with the person involved, Han Zhou, but instead asked the narrator, Li Kaiyang. This was because he respected and admired the rescuer, but this description that disregarded the facts was really unacceptable to him.
This kind of questioning is reasonable. Li Kaiyang was not angry and answered seriously: "The seventh and eighth floors are the seventh and eighth floors. There is no need for me to exaggerate the facts. You may also think that the description of 'white lightning' I just used is exaggerated, but this is the fact."
Chen Long stared at the ceiling and pondered for a while. He felt that it would be simpler and more efficient to directly ask the person involved than to calculate the potential energy conversion. So he poked Han Zhou beside him and asked, "Han Zhou, tell me, which floor is it?"
Everyone's eyes shifted to Han Zhou.
Han Zhou smiled bitterly and said, "It doesn't really matter which floor it is, but if I have to say, it should be around the seventh or eighth floor."
This was also the reason why he didn't want to publicize his arm injury. Catching a child falling from a high altitude with bare hands is a rather exaggerated thing. Normal people would be skeptical about it. He didn't want to attract too much attention, so he slipped away very quickly.
The classroom was quiet for a moment, and then whispers were heard. Although it was confirmed by witnesses and the parties involved, no one really believed the two people's statements.
At this moment, Lu Hu, who had returned to his seat, spoke up and said with a grin, "Tsk tsk, you are really amazing. You caught a child who fell from such a high place and only broke his arm instead of being paralyzed for life. You are really a hero."
There was sarcasm in the smile on his face, and the implication was obvious, that is, Han Zhou was bragging and deliberately using the height to highlight the greatness of his courage to save people.
He had used the word "hero" to Han Zhou before, and he used it again with the same sarcasm. However, he seemed not to realize one thing, that such sarcasm should not appear at this time.
No matter which floor the child fell from, Han Zhou's act of saving people is admirable, and it is an indisputable fact that he was injured while saving people. It would have been better if Lu Hu hadn't said anything. As soon as he spoke, many people immediately remembered that he had previously mocked Han Zhou for pretending to be injured to avoid military training, and they couldn't help but frowned.
Chen Long had been unhappy with Lu Hu for a long time. He was instantly furious when he heard this. He stood up and cursed, "What the hell are you talking about? Do you believe that I will beat you to a state of paralysis for life? What do you mean it's just a broken arm? You make it sound so easy. If you have the guts, go save someone for me. I'll save you even if you lose a hair. What's the point of barking like a dog here?"
Thank you, my real mouth substitute.
Many students were moved and silently gave Chen Long a thumbs up in their hearts again.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Lu Hu's heart skipped a beat. He also stood up and said loudly, "Watch your mouth! Saving people is awesome, but it doesn't mean you can talk nonsense and flatter yourself. We are all people who were admitted to Linda University, and we are not bad at physics. Can you respect the facts?"
"The truth? The fucking truth is that Han Zhou's left hand is broken, and his right hand is dislocated. He has trouble getting into bed every day. He's nothing like you who can crawl like a dog! I was about to say something to you just now. You envy others for breaking their hands without military training. I can do it for them, too. Where's your mother, Yin Yang?"
