School Sports Meet

School Sports Meet

A few days before the school sports meet, Wang Yue finally spent the money he'd been holding onto. After agonizing over it for ages, he'd concluded that, given his experience, nothing was a safer way to make money than buying property.

So now there were two red deed booklets in Wang Yue's cabinet. One was for a two-bedroom apartment in a complex not far from the university town.

Looking at the deeds, Wang Yue couldn't help thinking how great it would be if he could bring them into the real world.

But now that he thought about it, even if he went back to the real world, he could still take on jobs. He could earn a fortune in a single evening after work. The more he thought about it, the brighter the little stars in his eyes shone.

Wang Yue decided to live in the two-bedroom apartment not far from campus. It was just that architecture was such a vast field, and he knew so little about it. He didn't know where to start.

There were no two great gods in this world to teach him, either. Sigh, he was starting to miss that other world. He wondered how KO and Senior Brother Hao Mei were doing!

Wang Yue designed a set of interior renovation plans, found a renovation company that looked reliable, and hired them to do the work. When the boss looked over Wang Yue's plans, it was as if a whole new world had opened up to him. So the kitchen could be done like this! And then there was...

During the school sports meet, Wang Yue was dragged into the basketball competition. Everyone in his class knew he was good, but he was also too much of a ball hog. So they usually had him come off the bench and let him loose when everyone else was tired.

But you had to admit, their team basketball just wasn't as popular as "Wang 'Bryant' Yue." When Wang Yue was on the court, a few girls on the opposing team cheered whenever he scored. He was just too cool!

He breezed through the matches with barely a scare, and in the end, they won the freshman division championship. During one break, Wang Yue accepted the water Zheng Wei handed him and told her his old nickname.

Before long, first the department, then the school, and eventually the whole campus knew that the Civil Engineering Department had a guy who was amazing at basketball. His nickname was "Wang 'Bryant'!"

Of course, that was what the girls thought. The guys all felt his flashy playing style deserved the name "Wang Buli!" When Wang Yue heard about it, he was speechless. Marshal was a real team player, okay!

The day the basketball final ended, the Civil Engineering Department and the Architectural Design Department faced off in the women's 4x100-meter relay.

The two idiots Zhang Kai and Xu Kaiyang actually ran over to Wang Yue to cheer Zheng Wei on. The seniors from the Architectural Design Department were furious, calling the two of them traitors.

Zheng Wei ran the anchor leg, showing everyone who the wildest girl in the Civil Engineering Department was. But they still lost the race.

When Wang Yue heard Chen Xiaozheng's reasoning for deciding the winner, he was stunned. His mind immediately calculated 0.1 divided by the speed of a hundred-meter sprint. It came to less than a millisecond anyway.

Was that really an appropriate way to talk about a girl? Especially with Zheng Wei looking so mortified. Upright as he was, Wang Yue wasn't going to stand for it. He absolutely refused to admit that, for a moment, he'd felt sorry for her.

Who was afraid of a little rule-bending? With the wind blowing like that, Chen Xiaozheng's finish line had been curved. There were plenty of excuses to choose from.

"Referee, I have an objection!" Wang Yue put on an innocent face and hurried over to the referee.

"Go ahead. Do you disagree with the decision?" The Student Union member acting as referee stared at Wang Yue in surprise. Not many freshmen dared to talk back like that.

"That's right, Referee! The person who said the difference was one centimeter is from the Architectural Design Department. He can't be trusted!" Wang Yue argued with confidence.

"He's from the Architectural Design Department?" The referee who was speaking with Wang Yue turned to ask the other staff members.

One of them recognized Chen Xiaozheng, since several professors often praised him.

"Yes, he's Chen Xiaozheng from the Architectural Design Department!"

Once the referee got confirmation, he was at a loss. They couldn't exactly make them run the race again!

"I'm telling the truth. I was standing right there!" Chen Xiaozheng suddenly came over and insisted, just as the referee was struggling to decide what to do.

"You were standing there watching her chest! Are you sure you saw anything else?" Wang Yue shot back without mercy.

"Hahaha!"

The people around them burst into laughter at Wang Yue's words. Even several of the staff members were struggling to keep straight faces.

"You!" Chen Xiaozheng's face turned even redder. He wanted to argue back, but he wasn't as shameless as Wang Yue.

"Then what do you suggest?" The referee tried to play peacemaker. Seeing Wang Yue and Chen Xiaozheng on the verge of an argument, he hurried to smooth things over.

"This is just a school sports meet. The students who set up the finish line aren't professionals. An error of five centimeters is perfectly normal. They should obviously be declared joint champions!" Wang Yue offered without a second thought.

"But there's no precedent for that!" The referee was already tempted, but still seemed a little hesitant.

"Senior Brother, even the NBA lets players share the MVP award. This is nothing!" Wang Yue continued to persuade him.

"We'll discuss it!" The referee and the other staff members talked it over for quite a while before announcing the result.

Joint first place

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

Only then did the referee finally relax. He glanced at Wang Yue, who was bouncing around over there, and found him a lot less annoying.

Mortified and furious, Zheng Wei was sulking in the dorm while Ruan Wan tried to soothe her. Just then, Zhu Xiaobei rushed back and excitedly told Zheng Wei she'd taken first place.

"But didn't they say I... lost?" Zheng Wei was so confused by her excitement that she could barely follow.

"Nope, you tied for first!" Zhu Xiaobei revealed the answer.

"Long live the referee!" Zheng Wei leaped up in delight.

"You should thank Wang Yue!" Zhu Xiaobei explained everything she knew to the two of them. They listened in astonishment.

"Wang Yue's crooked arguments always catch you off guard!" After hearing the story, Ruan Wan lowered her head and stole a glance at herself. Her face immediately turned red. She hurriedly pushed her muddled thoughts aside. "Chen Xiaozheng was so annoying today. Who talks to a girl like that?"

The other events continued in full swing. Wang Yue mostly watched the finals that included people from his class. Most of the time, he headed back to the library.

Wang Yue felt that the biggest difference between East China University of Architecture and Qing University was that at Qing University, he'd followed Xiao Nai around and had someone to tell him what he ought to learn.

There was nothing for it. He'd just have to go to the library and study whatever he could.

He often saw Zheng Wei's roommates there. As for Zheng Wei, who knew where she'd gone to play?

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

At that moment, Wang Yue felt a little uncomfortable. If Chen Xiaozheng had written it to Zheng Wei, there was nothing to say. But if it was one of Zheng Wei's pranks, then putting so much effort into messing with someone would only make the person she had in mind appear more clearly in her heart.
