Chapter 19: School Sports Meet

A few days before the school sports meet, Wang Yue finally spent the money he had. After much deliberation, with his experience, he concluded that there was no safer way to make money than buying property.

As a result, Wang Yue now had two red property deeds in his cabinet. One of them was a two-bedroom apartment in the complex not far from the university town.

Looking at these deeds, Wang Yue wished he could bring them into the real world.

But thinking about it now, he could actually take on freelance work in the real world. He could earn a lot of money in an evening after work. The more he thought about it, the brighter the little stars in his eyes became.

Wang Yue decided to live in the two-bedroom apartment near the school himself. The truth was, Wang Yue felt the architecture industry was too vast, and he was too unfamiliar with it. He didn't know.

In this world, there were no Great Gods to personally teach him. Sigh, he missed that world a little. He wondered how KO and Senior Brother Hao Mei were doing!

Wang Yue designed a set of interior decoration blueprints and found a seemingly reliable renovation company to start construction. The boss looked at Wang Yue's blueprints as if he had discovered a new world. So, the kitchen could be done this way, and also...

During the school sports meet, Wang Yue was roped into participating in the basketball competition. Everyone in his class knew that while this guy was good at basketball, he was too selfish. So, he was usually a substitute, brought in to have some fun when others got tired.

But you wouldn't believe it, their team play just wasn't as popular as "Wang Bryant Yue's." When Wang Yue took the court, some of the opposing team's female fans cheered for his baskets. He was so cool, wasn't he!

They bulldozed through the competition, with few scares, and finally won the championship for the first-year group. During a break when Wang Yue came off the court, he took the water Zheng Wei handed him and she told him about her nickname from back in the day.

Later, it wasn't long before the entire school knew that there was a boy in the Civil Engineering department who played basketball exceptionally well, nicknamed "Wang Bryant!"

Of course, that's what the girls thought. The guys felt his flashy style of play should be called "Wang Buli!" When Wang Yue heard this, he was speechless. Political Commissar Ma played a very team-oriented game!

On the day of the basketball finals, the Civil Engineering department and the Architecture Design department clashed in the women's 4x100m relay.

Zhang Kai and Xu Kaiyang actually ran over to Wang Yue to cheer for Zheng Wei, which made the senior students from the Architecture Design department curse them as traitors.

Zheng Wei's anchor leg successfully showed everyone who the wildest girl in the Civil Engineering department was. However, they still lost the race.

When Wang Yue heard Chen Xiaozheng's reason for determining the winner, he was also dumbfounded. In his mind, he instantly calculated 0.1 divided by 100 meters per second, which was less than 1 millisecond anyway.

Was it okay to talk about girls like that? Especially Zheng Wei's furious expression. Thus, the upright Wang Yue couldn't stand it. He absolutely refused to admit that he felt a pang of heartache in that moment.

Who was afraid of being a scoundrel? With the wind speed that day, the line Chen Xiaozheng pulled was curved. There were more than enough excuses.

"Referee, I have an objection!" Wang Yue said, acting like a good boy, as he approached the referee.

"Go ahead, do you have an objection to the ruling?" The student union staff member acting as referee looked at Wang Yue in surprise. It wasn't common for first-years to argue like this.

"Yes, referee! The person who just said the difference was one centimeter was from the Architecture Design department. His words lack credibility!" Wang Yue argued logically.

"He's from the Architecture Design department?" When the referee talking to Wang Yue heard this, he asked the other staff members.

One of them recognized Chen Xiaozheng, as he was someone several professors often praised.

"Yes, he's Chen Xiaozheng from the Architecture Design department!"

After getting a positive answer, the referee was flustered. They couldn't possibly re-run the race!

"What I said is true, I was standing right there!" As the referee hesitated, Chen Xiaozheng suddenly walked over to emphasize!

"You were standing there looking at her chest! Are you sure you saw anything else?" Wang Yue retorted without mercy.

"Haha!"

When the surrounding people heard Wang Yue's words, they burst into laughter. Even some of the staff members were blushing, holding back their laughter.

"You!" Chen Xiaozheng's face turned even redder. He wanted to retort, but he didn't have Wang Yue's thick skin.

"Then what do you suggest we do!" The referee, like a peacemaker, quickly tried to smooth things over as Wang Yue and Chen Xiaozheng were about to argue.

"It's a campus sports meet. The students pulling the lines aren't precise. An error of 5 centimeters is normal. In that situation, it should obviously be a tie for first place!" Wang Yue gave his suggestion without thinking.

"But there's no such precedent!" The referee was actually tempted but was a bit hesitant.

"Senior Brother, even MVPs can share in the NBA, this is nothing!" Wang Yue continued to persuade.

"We'll discuss it!" The referee and several staff members discussed it for a while and came up with a result.

Shared first place.

When this result was announced, all the students present cheered.

Seeing this, the referee finally breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at Wang Yue, who was jumping around, and didn't find him as annoying anymore.

Zheng Wei, embarrassed and angry, was sulking in the dormitory. Ruan Wan was there softly comforting her. Just then, Zhu Xiaobei ran back and excitedly told Zheng Wei that she had won first place.

"Didn't you say... I lost?" Zheng Wei was confused by her excitement.

"No, you tied for first place!" Zhu Xiaobei revealed the truth.

"Hooray for the referee!" Zheng Wei jumped up happily when she heard this.

"You should thank Wang Yue!" Zhu Xiaobei explained in detail what she knew to the two of them, who listened in astonishment.

"Wang Yue's twisted logic is always unexpected!" Ruan Wan said after listening. She secretly lowered her head and glanced at herself, her face instantly turning red. She quickly threw aside her chaotic thoughts. "Chen Xiaozheng is really annoying today. Who talks to a girl like that!"

The other competitions were still in full swing. Wang Yue mostly went to watch the finals that his classmates participated in. Most of the time, he headed to the library.

Wang Yue felt that the biggest difference between East China University of Architecture and Qing University was that he followed Xiao Nai, and someone pointed out what he needed to learn.

There was no other way. He had to go to the library and learn honestly.

Here, Wang Yue often saw Zheng Wei's roommates. As for Zheng Wei, she was off playing somewhere again.

One day, when Wang Yue returned from the library, he saw a love letter posted on the school bulletin board. It was written by Chen Xiaozheng to Zheng Wei, but the handwriting looked familiar.

However, at this moment, Wang Yue felt a slight discomfort. If Chen Xiaozheng wrote it to Zheng Wei, there was nothing to say. But if it was Zheng Wei's prank, then to treat someone so wholeheartedly, the shadow of that person in her heart would only become clearer.
