Prologue 002 : Li Xiang

Wu Zewen was queuing up for food when someone suddenly patted his shoulder. He turned around and saw a boy looking at him with a smile.

——Li Xiang, monitor of Class 1 in the Department of Physics and Wu Zewen’s best friend.

Completely different from Wu Zewen's expressionless face, Li Xiang 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. Li Xiang has this wonderful infectious power. He often hosts various activities, and there is never a dull moment where he is.

He joined the Student Union in hisfreshman year, the Society Department in his sophomore year, and the Youth League Committee in his junior year...

In college, enthusiastic and cheerful people like Li Xiang 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 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 1.85 meters tall and handsome, so he can be said to be very popular and has friends all over the country.

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 a bit of dark history.

According to the record in Li Xiang's Memoirs: During the military training in his 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?" Li Xiang, who was dozing off, 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 Li Xiang to run 10,000 meters.

After running 10,000 meters, Li Xiang was exhausted and panting. After returning, he picked up the water bottle on the ground and poured water into his mouth frantically. Just after drinking half of it, he suddenly felt a focused gaze on his face. Li Xiang turned around and saw a boy wearing glasses looking at him calmly. Li Xiang smiled friendly and took the initiative to greet him: "Classmate, are you okay?"

The boy said calmly: You took my water bottle.

Li Xiang:"…”

When I picked up the bottle, I saw three big words written in neat handwriting on the front and back of the kettle: Wu Zewen.

Li Xiang awkwardly handed over the kettle: "Sorry, I didn't see it."

Wu Zewen glanced at him, then turned and walked away expressionlessly, holding the bottle.

Li Xiang's ears turned red on the spot - such big words, if I said I didn't see it, would he think I was an idiot?

Many years later, Li Xiang couldn't help but post a Weibo on his birthday on the 22nd: "It seems that the best friends around me are all those I met when I was being silly? Is it true that everyone's first impression of me is silly? "

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!

...Li Xiang burst into tears.

***

In fact, Li Xiang instigated Wu Zewen's roommate to use provocation to drag Wu Zewen into playing online games. In addition to the fact that Wu Zewen 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 with teammates you don’t know at all, you may lose the connection in the middle of the game, hang up while eating, or give away heads...

The most terrifying thing is not a god-like opponent, but a pig-like teammate!

There are three people in Li Xiang's dormitory, plus two people in He Xuyang's dormitory. There are only five people in the physics class who play 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 Li Xiang plans to drag Wu Zewen into the game. It would be best if Wu Zewen plays the role of a nurse to heal everyone...

Unfortunately, Wu Zewen fought with his Tang Clan for a full fifty rounds, and then went downstairs to eat as if nothing had happened.

Li Xiang was really in tears!

Attracting top students to play games is not only a physical task, it is also a mental task!

Wu Zewen lowered his head and ate seriously, and soon finished all the rice on the plate.

Looking up, he found Li Xiang tilting his head in deep thought. Wu Zewen couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Li Xiang touched his nose and said, "Zewen, 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."

Wu Zewen said decisively: "Not interested."

"..." Li Xiang paused and continued to encourage him: "It doesn't matter if you don't like playing in the arena. The scenery in the game is also 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?"

Wu Zewen thought for a moment and said, “No need.”

Li Xiang was extremely helpless!

The top student had never played online games, so it was normal for him to have no interest in them. Wu Zewen was also a very opinionated person, and he would not change his decision. It was like when we were on an exam and we were unsure about a question, should we choose B or C? We bit the pen and hesitated for a long time... Wu Zewen was different. He would choose B after he figured out the answer, and he would never change his mind once he filled it in.

Just then, Li Xiang's cell phone suddenly rang. It was a call from the head teacher.

Li Xiang picked up the phone and heard Teacher Zhang on the other end say in a gentle voice: "Li Xiang, are you free? Can you come to the Student Affairs Office?"

Li Xiang said quickly: "Okay, Teacher Zhang, I'll be right over."

***

When Li Xiang 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.

Li Xiang naturally knew Teacher Zhang from their Physics Department, but he had never seen the other young female teacher before.

Li Xiang knocked on the door politely, and Teacher Zhang looked up and said, "Come in."

Li Xiang walked into the office and asked with a smile: "Teacher, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Teacher Zhang said: "Li Xiang, I have something to ask of you. I remember that there have always been only three people living in your dormitory, right?"

Yes." Li Xiang nodded.

Teacher Zhang said: Your dormitory is for four people, and there is one bed that is unoccupied. Would it be convenient to vacate it in the next few days?"

Li Xiang was stunned for a moment.

Most of the boys in the Physics Department lived on the 4th floor, but because there were three extra people, Li Xiang 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, so the extra beds were naturally used 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 to vacate the bed, and Li Xiang couldn't refuse directly, so he nodded and said: "Teacher, we have been using that bed to store luggage. A lot of things have been piled up in it over the years. The dormitory is a bit messy, and it will take some time to tidy it up. Is someone going to move in? Is it urgent?"

"It's not urgent, just tidy it up within three days." Teacher Zhang paused, and then said, "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 showed up to look for a dormitory? Who was this person who suddenly showed up?

Li Xiang asked doubtfully: "Is it a graduate student?"

Teacher Zhang shook his head and said, "No, he is a senior student in the history department. This student's situation is quite 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 will be difficult to arrange for him if he comes back. Since there are empty beds in your dormitories upstairs and downstairs, please make it convenient for him to live with you for a year."

Li Xiang said happily: "I understand, no problem! I will go back and clean up the dormitory now!"

On the way back, Li Xiang 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 procedure, 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 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 was really 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 Li Xiang leave, then turned around and said: "Xiao Zhang, I'm really sorry to bother you. I was also shocked when this student suddenly returned to school. His situation is quite special. Professor Liu specifically contacted the dean and asked us to keep an eye on him and not to miss classes even once... He was so strict with his own son in his twenties that he even confiscated his computer."

Teacher Zhang Yue was ashamed: "Even the computer was confiscated? So exaggerated? What's wrong with this student?"

Lin Fang coughed and said: "The top expert in the gaming world."

Zhang Yue was surprised and said: "It's nothing for college students to play games, right?"

"Li Xiang, the monitor of our physics class is 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 asked: "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. "

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 World of 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 brought the e-sports craze to the world. China's e-sports circle has gradually caught up with the world. More and more powerful 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 arrival area dragging his suitcase, stopped in the corridor, and took out his cell phone from his pocket.

He was wearing blue jeans and a pure black vest, revealing his arms with beautiful, firm 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 low, so his facial expression could not be seen clearly. One could only vaguely see his angular profile.

His profile was very strong, with a high nose bridge, clean and neat jawline, and his lips slightly raised in an arc 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? Let's get together tomorrow?"

After sending the text message, he lazily leaned against the window, squinted his eyes and basked in the sun comfortably.

The cell phone rang soon, and a familiar name appeared in the text message reply: Yese.

The other party's tone seemed a little cold: "Liu Chuan? What are you doing back here?"

Liu Chuan said: "Go to school:)"

Night:"…”

Liu Chuan continued: "Tell the captains of the teams not to miss me too much while I’m away."

Yese replied: "Get lost. "

Liu Chuan 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 as clean and clear as if it had been 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?

Liu Chuan 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.
