For as long as she could remember, Ning Aoxue had always felt superior to Lin Feng. Back in Jiangzhou High School, Lin Feng was a student in an ordinary class, notorious as a carefree playboy who was often criticized by teachers. In contrast, Ning Aoxue was a student in the top class, the beautiful anchor of the campus broadcast station, the elegant flag bearer of the national flag team, and famously known as the campus beauty, excelling in both academics and conduct. Given this stark contrast in status, Ning Aoxue had always vaguely considered Lin Feng a dissolute, unrefined, and even somewhat vulgar troublemaker. Although, due to a twist of fate, Lin Feng, who was quite skilled in Sanda, had become her bodyguard, Ning Aoxue still saw him as an uncultivated person not worth befriending.

However, during their recent interactions, Ning Aoxue had been repeatedly shocked by Lin Feng, finding him increasingly unfathomable. His combat skills were excellent, enough to handle over a dozen heavily built men armed with weapons simultaneously. His memory was astonishing; he could memorize an entire page of text in mere seconds. And his cooking skills were superb, not in the least inferior to those of a five-star hotel chef. These repeated shocks caused Ning Aoxue's mental defenses to waver, eventually forcing her to admit that Lin Feng was indeed an outstanding man. Yet, she still clung to her firmest conviction: no matter how excellent Lin Feng was, her academic achievements were, at the very least, superior to his!

Nevertheless, when Su Zi announced that Lin Feng's college entrance exam score was 621, Ning Aoxue was truly astounded. She felt a vague sense of defeat, but simultaneously, her astonishment grew. Why had she never discovered Lin Feng's good qualities before, given how consistently outstanding he was?

Could it be that I've been too prejudiced against Lin Feng...?

Ning Aoxue was a little distraught.

"Hey, hey... Miss Ning, what's wrong? Are you feeling sick?" Su Zi was somewhat frightened seeing Ning Aoxue's absentmindedness, and she gently supported her friend by the arm, complaining, "If you're like this, how can you team up with me for the women's doubles?"

"I... I'm fine... Ah..." Ning Aoxue nervously pushed Su Zi's hand away. However, she didn't notice the steps right below her feet, missed her footing, and pitched forward.

Beneath Ning Aoxue's feet was a small, rather steep bridge spanning a lotus pond. Although it only had seven or eight steps, it was nearly one and a half meters high. A fall from this height, even if not resulting in serious injury, would likely be quite painful.

"Be careful!" Seeing Ning Aoxue falling over, Su Zi instinctively cried out, flinching, unable to react in time.

Lin Feng, who was walking ahead, heard the simultaneous shrieks from Su Zi and Ning Aoxue. Knowing something was wrong, he heard the sound of movement behind him. Turning his head, he saw Ning Aoxue falling. With no time to think, he reached out and caught Ning Aoxue in a princess carry.

Ning Aoxue had thought she was going to have a disfiguring fall. Instead, she felt a dizzying spin before her body was tightly held by Lin Feng's strong arms. At this moment, what Ning Aoxue was thinking was...

Lin Feng's body... is really sturdy...

Holding the soft, jade-like woman in his arms, and given the emergency, Lin Feng's subconscious actions hadn't paid attention to where his hands landed, accidentally touching Ning Aoxue's soft body. His heart instantly sped up.

Under everyone's gaze, Lin Feng couldn't very well continue to openly take advantage of Ning Aoxue. He reluctantly put her down and asked with concern, "How... could you be so careless...?"

"I... I was just preoccupied..." Ning Aoxue's face turned slightly red, finding it a bit hard to bear Lin Feng's questioning, her gaze somewhat evasive.

Naturally, Ning Aoxue was too embarrassed to say she had been lost in thought because her grades weren't as good as Lin Feng's.

Lin Feng assumed the recent embrace had embarrassed Ning Aoxue, so he put on a casual expression and asked again, "Did you hurt anywhere?"

"I-I'm fine..." Ning Aoxue shook her head, pursing her lips as she spoke. She felt like her heartbeat became a little uncontrollable whenever she spoke to Lin Feng.

"Miss Ning, you scared me to death just now..." Su Zi came down from the small bridge, gently patting her chest, and supported Ning Aoxue. "Aren't you feeling well? Should I accompany you to see the doctor?"

Behind Su Zi, the group of girls also gathered around chattering, offering Ning Aoxue suggestions.

"That's right, Aoxue, you should go and get checked when you have time..."

"I think you should also go to the campus clinic. Our school doctor is quite good..."

Although Ning Aoxue knew she wasn't ill and had merely tripped because her mind was preoccupied, seeing her female classmates all saying so, she could only nod and say, "Alright, alright, I will go when I have time..."

After hearing Ning Aoxue's dialogue with the girls, Lin Feng took a few more glances at Ning Aoxue. He saw that the girl's qi and blood were abundant, and her complexion was excellent; she didn't look sick at all. He inwardly chuckled. These girls were really jumping to conclusions. Ning Aoxue wasn't sick at all!

After this little incident on the way, Su Zi didn't dare to persuade Ning Aoxue to participate in the women's doubles table tennis tryouts anymore. She told Lin Feng to watch Ning Aoxue carefully while she went to participate in the singles.

Speaking of table tennis, it is the national sport of China. Many people, regardless of gender or age, enjoy playing it. The freshmen at Jiangzhou University were generally quite skilled. Those who dared to compete all had some real skill.

Su Zi's performance caught Lin Feng by surprise. Among the twenty-odd girls from the finance class participating in the elimination tryouts, Su Zi impressively defeated three opponents in a row, making it to the top three. Although she was ultimately defeated in the final qualifying match by Zhang Xiaoyue, her agility, awareness on the court, the power of her smashes, and the technique of her chops all greatly surprised Lin Feng.

Of course, what most caught Lin Feng's attention were Su Zi's ample twin peaks, which didn't hamper her agility in the slightest. They were truly magnificent and had a stunning visual impact!

Just as Lin Feng, Wang Zikai, and a few others from the finance class were excitedly watching the girls' matches, someone suddenly spoke, displeasing them.

"Tsk, what kind of sports committee member and department head of the sports department are you? Instead of holding table tennis tryouts in his own class, he runs off to the neighboring class to look at beauties. Do you have any respect for your classmates? With this kind of behavior, it's no wonder the students in our class aren't even willing to sign up for the track and field meet..."

Lin Feng followed the voice and saw, about ten meters away in the area for the Industrial Management class, only a few people remaining. A spirited-looking young man with short hair was idly toying with a table tennis paddle, looking at him with ill intent.

"It's Sima Yang!" Wang Zikai also heard the young man's words, glanced back, and whispered in Lin Feng's ear, "He seems to have transferred to our class from the School of Physical Education. In high school, he was an athlete specializing in table tennis. He apparently participated in the city's Youth Cup Challenge and won first place."
