After being put in a plaster cast, Ethan Nan was discharged from the hospital that afternoon. Adrian Nan had to work and didn't stay with him for too long.
Caleb Cheng and Mo Wenzhe had been waiting at the hospital entrance for a long time. They only dared to come over after Tyler Nan's car drove away.
"Ah Cheng, how much did you drink yesterday? You didn't even know you had a broken bone?" Caleb Cheng squatted down and patted Ethan Nan's plastered leg in anger. "This is good. I will definitely be grounded."
Ryan Mo exhaled a puff of cigarette, "Your house arrest is nothing, if Ah Cheng breaks his leg, my mother will beat me to death."
"Stop smoking. It makes me upset." Caleb Cheng still has several ptys to attend this month. Being grounded is more painful than killing him.
"You're that serious?" Ryan Mo glanced at him and put out his cigarette. "Ah Cheng, that Li Huo from yesterday was staying at a hotel nearby. It seems he hasn't left yet."
"Ah?" Ethan Nan came back to his senses, "Please bring him a bunch of flowers for me. It's not convenient for me to go there in this state."
SOS, why did he think these two were a bit of a hit just now? But Caleb Cheng and Ryan Mo lived close to each other, went to school together and grew up together, they were childhood sweethearts, but Ryan Mo didn't seem to like boys? Forget it, I'd better not hit them blindly.
Ryan Mo opened the phone book, "I want to call a runner---"
Caleb Cheng interrupted him, "Just let that pretty boy from yesterday take it over. Hasn't he gone home yet?"
"Who?" Mo Wen Ze couldn't remember.
"Xu? Emily Feng sent it to me some time ago. She looks like a model or an internet celebrity."
"Oh," Ryan Mo finally remembered a vague face and barely matched Caleb Cheng's brainwaves, "Let Xiao Si give it to Xiao San, why are you so mean?"
"Is he Xiao Si?" Caleb Cheng rolled his eyes. "Ask Ah Cheng, he can't even remember his name."
"Not remembering doesn't mean not liking someone. I can't even remember the name of the last person I dated."
Caleb Cheng put his arm around Ryan Mo's shoulder and chose to tell him the truth: "You're just stupid."
"How much better are you than me? If I fail a course, you fail too. If I fail a grade, you fail too... You and Ah Cheng are the least qualified to call me stupid."
Ethan Nan was sitting in a wheelchair and listening to the ancient earthlings chatting with great interest, but he was suddenly implicated. Just as he was about to refute, he suddenly realized that he was not the "Ah Cheng" they were talking about.
Since he came here, according to the law of conservation, could the other "Ethan Nan" have come to his world?
Let's observe a three-second silence for him. Fortunately, the war is about to end. The money that Ethan Nan has saved from working without spending in the past few years should be enough for another "Ethan Nan" to live without working for seven or eight years, but the premise is that he doesn't spend it recklessly.
He still had to find a way to get back on track. After all, he was an adult with a job and responsibilities. However, he had worked so hard in the past few years, so it wouldn't be too much for him to take a short vacation in Ancient Earth, right?
"Young Master, do you want to go back and pack your luggage and go directly to the eldest young master's house or go somewhere else?" Wu Huaming asked.
"What day is today?" Ethan Nan asked. He remembered that "Ethan Nan" in the original book was still a college student.
"on Monday."
"Do I have classes?" Ethan Nan fiddled with his phone. He and another "Ethan Nan" had the same face and fingerprints, it was magical.
Wu Huaming was confused by the question, "Yes, yes, I do." But didn't you say you were not going, young master?
Cheng and Mo, who were killing time by watching cheesy short videos, raised their heads at the same time: "Going to school? What for?"
It is natural for students to go to school. Although... he was just touring the holy land - who can resist not checking in at the famous scene where the protagonists fell in love!
"Ahem," Ethan Nan thought of an explanation that fits his personality better: "Wouldn't it be better for me to go to school in a wheelchair to show my strong will despite my disability? Anyway, I can't do anything now, so I'll go over there and show them how studious I am."
They were silent for two or three seconds, and Caleb Cheng spoke up: "Ah Cheng, I know you've been depressed recently because of your new sister-in-law, but there's no need to try to please your brother."
What did he do to his brother and sister-in-law last year? Ethan Nan was silent for a while, and finally remembered that he still had a brother-concept: "I am happy, I am willing."
"I hope you can get rid of your sister-in-law soon," Ryan Mo yawned with a gloomy expression, "I'm going to sleep at 'Midnight'."
"I met a guy last night and I'm going to take him out for dinner later, so I'm leaving first." Caleb Cheng waved and got into the car.
Two supercars, one red and one green, drove away in style one after another.
Could it be that he was isolated because he went to school? Ethan Nan had a reasonable suspicion.
Wu Huaming came over and wanted to carry him into the car, but Ethan Nan jumped up and got into the car.
He is already an adult of twenty years old, and it is too embarrassing for him to still be held by others.
Nanshi University of the Arts has a history of two to three hundred years since its establishment. It is an old private university with many well-known alumni from all walks of life. "Ethan Nan" is a junior here.
This university has 50% of its students enrolled through unified and individual recruitment. All admitted students are exempt from tuition and miscellaneous fees, and receive generous scholarships after enrollment. Not only that, the student dormitories at Nanshi University of the Arts are comparable to five-star hotels, the teaching buildings are full of technology, the library is more magnificent than a palace, and the cafeteria is a paradise. Even the chefs are hired from Michelin restaurants at high salaries.
What makes Nanshi University of the Arts so unique is simple: it is backed by the Nanshi Group.
The former chairman of Nanshi Group is the father of the protagonist Adrian Nan. After Adrian Nan inherited the position of director of the Nanyi University, like his late father, he would take time out every year to participate in major school events.
Ethan Nan found the class schedule on the school's official website. "He" was studying art management, with one or two classes a day at most, and a large part of his class was spent on off-campus practice.
Today's class is in the afternoon, so he can still rush to attend it.

"Gone to school?" Although Tyler Nan had returned to the company, his heart was still on his brother. Ethan Nan's movements were almost synchronized with his in real time.
The assistant put together several dinner plans and put them on other documents for the boss to choose.
Adrian Nan swiped down the tablet and almost spit out a mouthful of coffee. He put down the cup, pretended nothing happened, and waved his hand to let the assistant leave.
After the door was closed, he quickly enlarged the photo and looked at it carefully.
Wow, whose genes did this little boy get from studying so hard?
He long-pressed to save the collection and classified it into a new album.
On the other hand, what the professor explained in the auction appreciation class opened the door to a new world for Ethan Nan.
The history of the collection was so interesting, but how could these old bottles and jars be so valuable? Ethan Nan was still wondering who would take pictures of these cultural relics when he heard the professor mention his name:
"This orange-shaped collection was bought by Mr. Nan Zhusong from China for 120 million 20 years ago. If you are interested in it, you can ask Ethan Nan."
The professor glanced at the people sitting below, and after accidentally catching a glimpse of a figure in the back row, his eyes widened slightly: "Student Ethan Nan is here today, here he is."
The people in the front row turned their heads to look at him. Ethan Nan slowly raised his head and stared at the professor.
Professor (sweating): If I had known he was coming, I wouldn’t have mentioned his father.
Ethan Nan: ...Shouldn’t he come?
"Ahem," seeing that Ethan Nan's emotions were not fluctuating, the professor cleared his throat and continued, "Speaking of the next thing, it is similar to what we experienced more than a thousand years ago..."
Before the half-day university campus experience card ended, Ethan Nan, who had just finished her class, rushed to the auditorium, teaching building, and school gate in a wheelchair - he checked in at all places where the top and bottom protagonists had appeared.
OK, even if he were to go back to Interstellar now, he would have no regrets. Ethan Nan flipped through the photos he had just taken carefully, thinking about how to take them back to Interstellar.
"Acheng, the sun is rising from the west." A man with dyed pink hair appeared in front of him. Ethan Nan didn't know what his relationship was with the previous "Ethan Nan", so he didn't say anything.
He didn't say anything, and the pink-haired girl got anxious. "I heard from Master Cheng that you are not very satisfied with Nathan Xu. He is sometimes a tactless person. Ah Cheng, don't mind. I will introduce you to another one."
Ethan Nan thought of Caleb Cheng's words and blurted out: "Emily Feng?"
"Well, what's up?" It was the first time that Ethan Nan called him by his name. Would Nathan Xu, who was asking for trouble, involve him in this? Emily Feng thought with gritted teeth.
"Nothing," Ethan Nan was now certain that Pink Hair was equal to Emily Feng and equal to a pimp, "I suggest you learn to play the erhu."
??? Emily Feng was puzzled: Why did they suddenly suggest him to learn a musical instrument?
"Did Nathan Xu piss you off?" Emily Feng asked cautiously.
Ethan Nan shook his head.
As they were talking, a black Maybach stopped beside them.
Tyler Nan, who got off work early, changed into a more friendly brown windbreaker, and his hair fell naturally on his eyebrows. The candy bouquet left the passenger seat and was held in his one hand.
Emily Feng had not yet established a good relationship with Ethan Nan and did not want to meet Tyler Nan for the time being, so he hurriedly found an excuse and left.
"Surprise!" Tyler Nan's gaze stayed on Emily Feng for less than half a second and quickly turned back to his brother.
Ethan Nan tried to smile at him, but the result was worrying. Fortunately, Tyler Nan didn't care and excitedly pulled him into the car, "Let's go to Beixiang to eat dumplings today."
Dumplings?! Ethan Nan's smile suddenly turned genuine.
Tyler Nan noticed his change and seemed to be thinking about something.
The dumpling restaurant in Beixiang is small, but its dumplings are famous for being delicious, and there are long queues all day long.
Tyler Nan didn't ask for any special treatment. He took a number and pushed his brother in a wheelchair at the end of the line.
It is late autumn in Q City and the evenings are particularly cold.
Ethan Nan shrank his neck and swallowed for the fourteenth time.
"When Dad was busy, he always asked me to queue up first after school to get a table. You and Mom were always late," Tyler Nan suddenly said, "Now you can also queue up with me."
Ethan Nan turned around and listened to him quietly.
"Dad had already used up half a plate of vinegar when you two came," the complaint from many years ago was recalled today, with more teasing than dissatisfaction, "You also brought lambs and rabbits, which made the originally small table even more crowded. I once accidentally spilled soup on your rabbits, and you were upset with me for half a month."
Tyler Nan's story was so vivid that a lop-eared rabbit with chili powder and coriander hanging on its ears seemed to appear in front of Ethan Nan.
He hates cilantro the most.
Weird, what is cilantro?
Could it be that he had added the character settings of the novels he had read to himself? Given his level of obsession, it was indeed possible.
Ethan Nan didn't think about it too much because it would be their turn soon.
He ordered a regular soup dumpling according to the picture on the menu. Tyler Nan ordered the same as him, but with the note that he wanted more chili and coriander.
"Why do you suddenly want to go to school today?" Tyler Nan asked after adjusting the height of his wheelchair.
Is going to school such a bad thing? Fortunately, he had already punched in, and Ethan Nan secretly decided not to go to school in the future.
"It's just boring." Ethan Nan replied vaguely.
"How about we go to the island tomorrow?" Tyler Nan unpacked the chopsticks and handed them to him. "The zoo and amusement park over there are already built."
Ethan Nan opened his mouth, wanting to agree immediately but felt embarrassed.
After all, he is not the protagonist's biological brother, so just let him play by himself.
Ethan Nan just wants to stay in the corner and silently admire the beautiful love.
