Ryan Wu was queuing up for food when someone suddenly patted his shoulder. He turned around and saw a boy looking at him with a smile.
---Ethan Li, monitor of Class 1 in the Department of Physics, and Ryan’s best friend.
Completely different from Ryan Wu's calm and expressionless face, Ethan Li is the typical sunny handsome guy. He always has a smile on his face and seems to be in a good mood. This kind of optimistic guy can easily infect people around him and make them feel good. Ethan Li has this kind of infectious power. He often hosts various activities, and there is never a dull moment where he is.
I joined the Student Union in my freshman year, the Society Department in my sophomore year, and the Youth League Committee in my junior year...
In college, enthusiastic and cheerful people like Ethan Li are the most popular among classmates. He is also very loyal. Whenever you go out to eat with him, he will take the initiative to pay the bill. He will also take the initiative to help the girls in the class move computers, lift tables, or do all kinds of hard work as long as he sees them. In addition, he is about 1.8 meters tall and handsome, so he can be said to be very popular and has friends all over the country.
It's just that he sometimes does stupid things and makes sympathetic decisions like "You won't die if you don't commit suicide."
Many people couldn't imagine that two people with such different personalities could become friends.
In fact, the reason why they became friends is because of a past that is considered a dark history.
According to the records in the book: During the military training in the freshman year, one afternoon the instructor asked everyone to sit under the shade of a tree and talk about life and dreams. When the instructor asked, "What are your ideals?", Ethan Li, who was taking a nap, immediately stood up and stood at attention: "Here! Instructor, are you calling me?"
Everyone: ...
The instructor looked at him as if he were an idiot, and then punished Ethan Li to run 10,000 meters.
Ethan Li finished running 10,000 meters and was out of breath. After returning, he picked up the water bottle on the ground and poured water into his mouth. Just after drinking half of it, he suddenly felt a focused gaze on his face. Ethan Li turned around and saw a boy wearing glasses looking at him calmly. Ethan Li smiled friendly and took the initiative to say hello: "Classmate, are you okay?"
The boy said calmly: "You are holding my water bottle."
Ethan Li:...
When I picked up the kettle, I saw the three big characters "Ryan Wu" written in neat handwriting on the front and back of the kettle.
Ethan Li awkwardly handed over the kettle: "Sorry, I didn't see it..."
Ryan Wu glanced at him, then calmly turned around and walked away, holding the kettle.
Ethan Li was blushing on the spot - with such big words on it, if I said I didn't see them, would he think I was an idiot?
Many years later, Ethan Li couldn't help but post a Weibo post on his birthday on the 22nd: "It seems that the best friends around me were all met when I was doing all kinds of stupid things? Is it true that everyone's first impression of me is very 'stupid'?"
A group of people happily lined up to forward it---
Hello, second junior brother!
That's quite stupid!
So stupid!
Very stupid!
You are really self-aware!
...Ethan Li burst into tears.

In fact, Ethan Li instigated Ryan Wu's roommate to use provocation to drag Ryan Wu into playing online games. In addition to the fact that Ryan Wu was his good friend, the more important reason was: he wanted to form a team to play in the arena, but unfortunately there were not enough people.
In the game Wulin, the arena has a very strict points upgrade system. The team competition is a 6-on-6 team battle mode. You can randomly match a team yourself, or you can form a team in advance to play the game. It is easier to win if you form a fixed team with people you know. If you randomly match a team, you don’t know your teammates at all, and you may lose the connection in the middle of the game, eat and hang up, or give away heads...
The most terrifying thing is not a god-like opponent, but a pig-like teammate!
There are three people in Ethan Li's dormitory, plus two people in Marcus He's dormitory, so there are only five people in the physics class playing this game. They can't make a team of six. It's really annoying to have to team up with strangers every time when there are five people missing. So Ethan Li planned to drag Ryan Wu into the game. It would be best if Ryan Wu played the role of a nurse to add blood to everyone...
Unfortunately, Ryan Wu fought with his Tang Clan for a full fifty rounds, and then he went downstairs to eat calmly as if nothing had happened.
Ethan Li was in tears!
Attracting top students to play games is not only a physical activity, but also a mental activity.
Ryan Wu lowered his head and ate seriously, and soon finished all the rice on the plate.
Looking up, Ryan Wu found that Ethan Li was tilting his head in thought. He couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
Ethan Li touched his nose and said, "Ryan Wu, are you really not interested in playing online games? This game is different from other games. This game has a very formal official professional league, many star teams and star players, it is very popular, and the game balance is also very good."
Ryan Wu said decisively: "Not interested."
... Ethan Li continued to encourage him: "It doesn't matter if you don't like playing in the arena. The scenery in the game is very beautiful, and there are many fun dungeons and daily activities. A new area will be opened in September. Do you want to go and take a look?"
Ryan Wu thought for a moment and said, "No need."
Ethan Li was extremely helpless.
The top student had never played online games, so it was normal for him to have no interest in them. Ryan Wu was also a very opinionated person, and he would not change his decision. It was like when we were unsure about a question during an exam, should we choose b or c? We bit the pen and hesitated for a long time... Ryan Wu was different. He would choose b after calculating the answer, and he would never change his mind.
Just then, Ethan Li's cell phone suddenly rang. It was a call from the head teacher.
Ethan Li picked up the phone and heard Teacher Zhang on the other end say in a gentle voice: "Ethan Li, are you free? Can you come to the Student Affairs Office? I have something to tell you."
Ethan Li said quickly, "Okay, Teacher Zhang, I'll be right over."
***
When Ethan Li arrived at the Student Affairs Office, there were two female teachers sitting in the office, seemingly chatting. The head teacher of a university does not have to teach students, but is mainly responsible for the students' various life and psychological problems. Most of them are seniors who stay in school, so they are all quite young.
Ethan Li naturally knew Teacher Zhang from their Physics Department, but he had never seen the other young female teacher before.
Ethan Li knocked on the door politely, and Teacher Zhang looked up and said, "Come in."
Ethan Li walked into the office and asked with a smile: "Teacher, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Teacher Zhang said, "Ethan Li, I have something to ask of you. I remember that there have always been only three people living in your dormitory, right?"
Ethan Li said, "Yes."
Teacher Zhang said: "Your dormitory is a four-person room, and there is one bed that is not occupied. Would it be convenient for you to vacate it in the next few days?"
Ethan Li was stunned for a moment.
The boys in the Department of Physics all lived on the 4th floor. Because there were three extra people, Ethan Li and his two companions were assigned to the 3rd floor. In the past few years of college, there were only three people living in their dormitory 301. Naturally, everyone used the extra beds to store luggage, including boxes, clothes, and cartons...
The more you don't organize your luggage, the more it will grow...
The originally empty beds have now piled up into a mountain.
However, the teacher suddenly asked for an empty bed, and Ethan Li couldn't refuse directly, so he nodded and said, "Teacher, we have been using that bed to store luggage. A lot of things have piled up over the years, and the dormitory is a bit messy. It will take some time to clean it up. Is anyone going to move in? Is it urgent?"
Teacher Zhang said, "Just tidy it up within three days." After a pause, he continued, "I didn't want to trouble you, but the school dormitory beds are very tight, and there are many new students this year. The logistics department checked and found that only your dormitory has an empty bed. A classmate wants to move in, and there are no beds, so I want you to tidy it up and make room for him."
---In other words, someone suddenly dropped in to look for a dormitory? Who was this person who dropped in?
Ethan Li asked doubtfully, "Is he a graduate student?"
Teacher Zhang said, "No, he is a senior student in the history department. His situation is rather special. He took a three-year leave of absence for personal reasons. Everyone in his grade in the history department has graduated, and his bed has long been allocated. The dormitories on the 4th floor of the history department are also full, so it would be difficult to arrange for him if he comes back. Since there are beds available in your dormitories upstairs and downstairs, please make it convenient for him to stay with you for a year."
Ethan Li smiled cheerfully and said, "Oh, I see. No problem! I'll go back and clean up the dormitory right away!"
On the way back, Ethan Li couldn't help feeling a little confused.
The maximum period for leave of absence at C University is three years. That is to say, no matter what the reason, after you complete the leave of absence procedures, the school will retain your student status for a maximum of three years. If you are unable to return within three years, you will be directly treated as expelled.
The two most common reasons for taking a leave of absence are: one is physical reasons. If you are sick, there is nothing you can do about it. You can only take a leave of absence temporarily to treat the illness and come back to study after you recover. The other is psychological reasons. Some students with heavy academic pressure suffer from depression. Instead of committing suicide by jumping off a building, the school will promptly persuade students to take a leave of absence when they notice that they have psychological problems, and then come back to class after adjusting their mentality at home.
This history student actually took a three-year leave of absence at once. He is so brave...
Is there something wrong with him physically or mentally?

Inside the office of the Student Affairs Office.
Teacher Lin Fang from the History Department watched Ethan Li leave, then turned around and said, "Xiao Zhang, I'm sorry to bother you. I was also shocked when this student suddenly returned to school. His situation is quite special, and Professor Liu specifically contacted the dean and asked us to keep an eye on him and not allow him to miss classes even once... He was so strict with his own son who was in his twenties that he even confiscated his computer."
Teacher Zhang Yue was ashamed: "They didn't even confiscate the computer? How outrageous! What's wrong with this student?"
Lin Fang coughed and said, "A top expert in the gaming world."
Zhang Yue was surprised and said, "It's nothing for college students to play games, right? Ethan Li, the monitor of our physics class, was also playing online games."
Lin Fang rubbed her temples with a headache: "He is different."
Zhang Yue was puzzled: "How is it different?"
Lin Fang said: "Have you heard of the e-sports professional league?"
Zhang Yue nodded.
Lin Fang said: "The game Wulin launched an official professional league a few years ago. This classmate led the team to compete and won many national championships. He is a top player in the field of e-sports."
Teacher Zhang:...
Can play online games? This is indeed very common, and there are many students around us who can play online games.
But the professional league is completely different. Professional e-sports players make playing games their career, just like professional basketball and football players make playing games their career.
E-sports is a brand new term that emerged in the 21st century. From the initial Warcraft and StarCraft to the later Dota and League of Legends... in the Internet information age, various e-sports projects have sprung up one after another. The holding of the WCG World E-sports Championship has swept the world with the storm of e-sports. China's e-sports circle has gradually caught up with the world. More and more wealthy teams and top professional players have emerged. China's representative teams have also achieved countless brilliant results in the world e-sports championships!
Nowadays, the domestic e-sports circle is becoming more and more formal, and popular e-sports players have countless fans, and they are treated like stars wherever they go!
Teacher Zhang was extremely surprised.
Such an awesome person is actually going to return to the university campus?
***
At the same time, Capital Airport.
The man walked out of the international flight arrival area dragging his suitcase, stopped in the corridor, and took out his mobile phone from his pocket.
He was wearing jeans and a pure black vest, revealing his arms with strong and beautiful muscles. His height of over 1.85 meters made him very eye-catching in the crowd. He was wearing a baseball cap with the brim pulled down very low, so his facial expression could not be seen clearly, and only his angular profile could be vaguely seen.
The profile of his face is very strong, with a high nose bridge, clean jaw lines, and lips slightly raised with a hint of smile.
The man was texting, and passers-by could clearly see his hands. They were a pair of very beautiful hands, with long and strong fingers, even joints, and neatly trimmed nails.
At this moment, he was holding the mobile phone in his left hand, and his right index finger was typing quickly on the touch screen.
His hands were extremely fast, and in less than five seconds, a message was sent from his phone.
"I'm back home. Are you in Beijing? Can we get together tomorrow?"
After sending the text message, he lazily leaned against the window, squinted his eyes and basked in the sun comfortably.
The phone rang soon, and a familiar name appeared in the text message reply: Yese.
The other party's tone seemed a little cold: "Gabriel Liu? What are you doing back?"
Gabriel Liu said: "Go to school:)"
Night: ...
Gabriel Liu continued: "Tell the captains of several teams, don't miss me too much during my absence:)"
Night replied: "Get lost."
Gabriel Liu smiled and typed, "Tomorrow night at 7 o'clock, the same place, I'll treat you."
The sun is shining outside the window.
The white clouds were like cotton wool, spreading in the sky, and the blue sky was clean and clear as if washed by water. From time to time, planes left the horizon, broke through the sky, and gradually disappeared from people's sight.
New semester, new season.
For many people, perhaps it is also a new starting point?
Gabriel Liu raised the corner of his lips slightly, put his phone back into his pocket, picked up his suitcase and walked out of the airport quickly.
