Do not hit the face when fighting, and do not expose someone's shortcomings when scolding!
This is a basic requirement for being a decent person; one should not go too far and trample on another's dignity. If you don't completely crush them, they will definitely retaliate even more fiercely!
"That move by Wei Yuan was beautifully executed, completely shattering this guy's sense of superiority," someone began to comment.
"Don't be too loud; you might make him anxious and bite back," someone kindly reminded.
Although the voice was not loud, everyone could hear it clearly, but no one could tell who it was.
At this moment, Chang Wei had clearly broken this unwritten social rule by exploiting Wei Yuan's poor math grades to attack him further. Even those around and Lan Xue could not stand by and watch.
Therefore, Wei Yuan's counterattack did not provoke everyone's dislike; instead, everyone felt that Chang Wei deserved it.
Chang Wei had always relied on his family's wealth, and the only thing he could brag about was his self-proclaimed excellent basketball skills.
However, the last time he pretended to be injured and left the game, Wei Yuan stepped in as a substitute and created a myth of hitting every long-range three-pointer. Now that Wei Yuan challenged him to a basketball bet, how could he dare to accept?
As for fighting one-on-one, that was even less credible. Although his family hired a coach, it didn't matter whether those so-called masters of Tai Chi or Bagua were truly skilled. Chang Wei only practiced occasionally for show; how many people would actually dare to fight him?
Yet, Wei Yuan, this prodigy, completely disregarded the Chang family. Previously at the bookstore entrance, he had taken down Chang Wei with one move, shattering whatever little confidence he had left. How could he still dare to challenge Wei Yuan?
Using one's strengths to exploit another's weaknesses is indeed the best way to slap someone in the face. But in this world, who is truly capable in every aspect? Just because you have a skill that allows you to look down on others doesn't mean you don't have shortcomings yourself.
Clearly, Chang Wei had not yet understood this principle and stubbornly said, "Let's keep things separate. You first complete this hundred-question math exam I give you. Do you dare to bet? If you lose, I can do whatever I want with you; if you win, it's the same for me!"
Wei Yuan was indeed hesitant about whether to accept the bet. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses; he had previously tried hard to review math, but the results were not ideal, so he felt uncertain about tackling a math exam.
"How about we have a one-on-one match first? If you can beat me, then we can talk about this!" Wei Yuan also started to play tricks.
Chang Wei was completely at a loss for words after Wei Yuan's remark. You could bet on a math exam, but naturally, others could bet on different things as well.
Moreover, Chang Wei had always boasted in front of everyone about his years of training in Taekwondo from Goryeo, combined with various martial arts styles from his country, claiming to have mastered many forms of martial arts.
Of course, those who listened to his bragging never had the chance to see him in action. This time, he initially thought he would accept Wei Yuan's challenge, but upon hearing those words, his face turned pale.
It was clear to anyone that this guy was just a blowhard. Feeling embarrassed and not wanting to stick around any longer, Chang Wei wanted to find a way out quickly.
At that moment, he wished that Teacher Wu Yongsheng would return soon so he could have an excuse to leave.
Little did he know that when Chang Wei fell silent, Lan Xue suddenly displayed her spirited side. She stood up and took the math exam paper with a hundred questions from Chang Wei's hands and said, "I'll take this bet for Wei Yuan!"
Everyone present was stunned. Did Lan Xue's action mean she was actively acknowledging her relationship with Wei Yuan? Usually seen as a quiet and low-key girl in everyone's eyes, she surprisingly stepped up to support Wei Yuan.
Could this be the so-called magic of love?
Seeing Lan Xue stand up and take the challenge for Wei Yuan, Chang Wei realized he was completely out of luck. However, he still wanted to repay the humiliation he felt from Wei Yuan.
At this moment, Wei Yuan also needed to support Lan Xue: "Is this good enough now?"
Chang Wei laughed and said, "Do you think I'm a fool? If you take those questions out and reference them before betting, do I still have a chance of winning?"
"What are you going to do?" Wei Yuan asked with a frown.
"Here, take this as a reference. A month before the college entrance exam, I'll find someone to create another version. Then we can have another bet and let the teacher witness it!" Chang Wei calculated.
Only he could come up with such an idea—betting among students and having the teacher as a witness. However, since they had already accepted it, there was no need to refute him on that point.
At that moment, the homeroom teacher began to return, and all the witnesses, including Chang Wei, hurried back to their seats. Just then, the bell rang for class to end, and Wei Yuan's attention was immediately drawn to Chang Wei.
He suddenly ran to the window and picked up his phone. It was unclear who he was talking to, but less than a minute later, he grabbed his backpack, asked the class monitor for leave, and hurriedly left.
Lan Xue was preparing to catch up with Wei Yuan during the break but found that Wei Yuan's mind was not on that at all. Instead, he pulled Lan Xue over to the window.
Lan Xue had no words because she had already seen a familiar car parked at the school gate through the window—it was her second uncle Lan Bo's vehicle.
"That's your uncle's car, right? I've seen it at your house once!" Wei Yuan said in confusion.
Lan Xue looked at the car with a puzzled expression. "This is my uncle's car! But his oldest child is only in sixth grade; what is he doing at the middle school?"
At that moment, both of them had an answer. They saw Chang Wei, who had taken leave, suddenly get into Lan Bo's car with a flamboyant demeanor!
"What’s going on?" Wei Yuan began to feel confused.
Lan Xue also couldn't make sense of it: "Although our family has some dealings with the Chang family, it doesn't make sense for my uncle to come personally to pick up Chang Wei from school."
This situation clearly didn't add up. Logically speaking, even if their families were well-acquainted, Lan Bo was still an elder. If there was something for Chang Wei to discuss with him, it would suffice for him to go visit; there was no need for him to come all the way to the school.
The only possibility that Wei Yuan could find was that Chang Wei was so eager to pursue Lan Xue, partly because he genuinely liked her, but on the other hand, it must have something to do with Lan Bo's instigation.
After sharing his thoughts with Lan Xue, she immediately understood: "Uncle really has a good strategy!"
When Wei Yuan heard this, he also laughed. Lan Bo's enthusiasm in helping Lan Xue find a partner was merely to eliminate a threat.
After all, the situation with the Blue Old Man was unpredictable. If the old man found a suitable son-in-law for Lan Xue before passing away and got that person involved with the Lan family business, it would definitely pose a threat to him!
So he simply took on the role of the good guy himself, personally helping Lan Xue select a suitable candidate. However, this person should ideally be someone without much ability, so as not to pose a threat to him. If they had some family background, they could even become someone he could manipulate; this plan was quite meticulous.
However, he still made a misstep. Although Chang Wei's appearance and family background were decent, Lan Xue just wasn't interested in him. After all, this wasn't an era of arranged marriages; as long as the old man was still around, it really couldn't be forced.
Lan Xue had no intention of dealing with these matters. As soon as she heard the bell signaling the start of class, she pulled Wei Yuan back to their seats. However, Wei Yuan always felt that this matter wasn't as simple as it seemed!
The third period happened to be math class. Therefore, under Lan Xue's strong insistence and due to the bet made with Chang Wei, Wei Yuan didn't slack off; he listened attentively in class, took notes, and answered questions, behaving like a model student...
After one class, Wei Yuan felt more exhausted than running a thousand meters, so as soon as class ended, he immediately lay down on his desk and fell asleep...
