Beiming Xue, Ouyang Feiting, and Ma Jun, after recovering from their shock, immediately surrounded Wang Yan, clamoring, "Wang Yan, how did you do that?"
"Boss, you're amazing, no wonder you're so good at reciting classical texts."
"Wang Yan, tell me, is there any trick to memorizing the texts?"
The three of them were exceptionally excited, firing off questions like a machine gun.
Wang Yan replied, "There's no real trick. In the past 18 years, besides practicing martial arts, I've only been studying. In the mountains, there's quiet and no one around, so I can focus safely, gradually developing this photographic memory."
Hearing this, Ma Jun said with envy, "If only I could live in the mountains too, wouldn't that be wonderful."
Although Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting envied Wang Yan's ability, the thought of actually living in the mountains seemed far too dull for them.
Still, with Wang Yan being so impressive, they were already satisfied. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on NovᴇlFir(e).nᴇt
Beiming Xue quickly placed another chemistry book in front of Wang Yan, saying, "Wang Yan, recite this quickly. If you can memorize both books, Monday's exam will be a breeze for us."
An hour later, the four of them leisurely walked out of the library.
In just the past hour, Wang Yan had memorized both textbooks completely, ensuring there wouldn't be any problems with Monday's exam.
The four were aimlessly strolling around campus, and before they knew it, they had arrived in front of the basketball court. At this time, there were many students playing basketball on the dozen or so courts, creating a lively scene.
Wang Yan watched for a while, then turned to Ma Jun and asked, "What are they doing?"
Ma Jun chuckled and said, "Boss, you're really oblivious to outside matters, wholly devoted to studying the classics. They're playing basketball."
"What's basketball? Why do ten people chase one ball?" Wang Yan asked again, puzzled.
Hearing this, Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting couldn't help but chuckle.
This Wang Yan, sometimes he's so mysterious, able to memorize a year's worth of coursework in an hour, and sometimes he's adorably clueless, not even understanding basketball.
At this moment, some of the boys playing basketball on the court noticed Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting arriving at the sidelines.
Seeing these two goddess-like figures appearing at the basketball court, everyone immediately became very excited, and their behavior turned a bit odd.
Some stood there blankly, staring at Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting, who, bathed in sunlight, seemed to be enveloped in a halo.
Others were eager to show off their basketball skills, playing even more fiercely, scrambling and shooting.
However, while going for a layup, they used their peripheral vision to glance at Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting, hoping the goddesses would see them at their coolest moment.
So while splitting their attention, some collided with others, some ran off the court, crashing into the basketball hoop, causing noses to bleed.
In no time, the entire basketball court was in chaos.
This bizarre situation immediately caught the attention of everyone at the basketball court, including Wang Xuesong with those big front teeth.
Wang Xuesong instantly saw Ma Jun, and also noticed Wang Yan. As soon as he saw the two appear, anger flashed in Wang Xuesong's eyes. He walked a few steps over to a tall, dark-skinned guy beside him, pointing at Wang Yan and the others, saying, "Bro, it's him, he's the one who bullied me!"
The guy Wang Xuesong referred to as "Bro" was even taller than him, with extremely dark skin and a military buzz cut, looking very fierce.
Hearing Wang Xuesong's words, the tall dark guy looked at Ma Jun and Wang Yan, sneered a little, and said, "They look so weak, you actually lost to them?"
Wang Xuesong grimaced and said, "That Wang Yan is really good at running, I really couldn't outrun him, and now, Roy completely ignores me."
The tall dark guy snorted coldly and said, "What good is running? Don't worry, I'll make it right for you today, go get Roy now, I want her to see me giving you this face back."
Upon hearing this, Wang Xuesong happily agreed, tossed aside the basketball, and ran off the court.
At this time, seven or eight people from the court where the tall dark guy was playing gathered around, asking, "Captain Xue Hei, what's up? Who are we challenging?"
It turned out this tall dark guy was Wang Xuesong's older brother, named Wang Xuehei.
Pointing at Wang Yan, Wang Xuehei said, "Let's play basketball against them."
Several others glanced at Wang Yan and Ma Jun, disdainfully saying, "Just them, they don't look like basketball players, how could they possibly beat our professional school team."
Wang Xuehei said, "It doesn't matter if they are or not. These two bullied Xuesong, I need to teach them a lesson."
Upon hearing this, all seven or eight people jeered, "They dared to bully Xuesong, Captain Xue Hei, just tell us how you want us to deal with them."
Wang Xuehei immediately started giving orders to the group.
As Wang Xuehei and his group talked, they saw Wang Xuesong dragging Roy back onto the court. Roy looked very reluctant, but was forcibly pulled in by Wang Xuesong.
Seeing Roy, Ma Jun immediately dashed out and blocked Wang Xuesong, saying, "Wang Xuesong, are you bullying Roy again?"
Seeing Ma Jun, Wang Xuesong was even angrier, releasing Roy and said, "What does Roy have to do with you, why do you have to stand up for her?"
Ma Jun hesitated a moment, murmuring, "We're all classmates, of course, I should help a classmate."
Wang Xuesong snorted coldly, "You need to mind your own business, there are so many classmates, can you help them all?"
Hearing Wang Xuesong's challenge, Ma Jun wanted to retort, but one glance at Roy made him swallow the words even though they were at the tip of his tongue.
Just then, a voice rang out from behind Ma Jun, "Because Ma Jun likes Roy, it's only natural for him to help."
Ma Jun turned back to see Wang Yan, Beiming Xue, and Ouyang Feiting standing behind him.
Upon hearing Wang Yan's words, Ma Jun instantly mustered the courage, because Wang Yan had said exactly what he wanted to say but didn't.
Though his face turned bright red, Ma Jun boldly said, "Yes, I like Roy, so I want to protect her."
Hearing Ma Jun's confession, Roy's fair face turned pink, and she shyly lowered her head, her eyes looking at her toes. Her gaze was shimmering with seven parts shyness and three parts joy.
Seeing Roy's expression, Wang Xuesong got even angrier, shouting, "You're not allowed to like Roy, and Roy, you can't like Ma Jun either."
Ouyang Feiting snorted coldly and said, "Love is a personal right, and you even want to control that? Aren't you being too nosy!"
Just then, a domineering voice came from the side, "Even if it is nosy, I still want to interfere!"
Everyone immediately turned towards the voice, and upon seeing who it was, Ouyang Feiting and Beiming Xue's faces changed slightly.
If there was anyone in Wanghai Noble School with enough prestige to meddle in others' affairs, this person was one of them—the captain of the school basketball team, and someone who was highly respected in the school, Wang Xuehei.
When Wang Xuehei faced Wang Yan, everyone got excited.
Because everyone knew that since Wang Yan came to this school, he finally encountered his first real opponent.
