High School Belle Fell in Love with Me-Chapter 153 - 123: Don’t Try to Retrieve What’s Lost (Double-Length)
October 6th, the end of the long holiday at Jing University. After the day’s classes, Chen Weixing hadn’t seen Li Yang’s shadow, so he asked He Lewei, "Old He, where’s Li Yang?"
"On his honeymoon."
"Huh? Isn’t Jiang Banxia still at school?"
He Lewei replied, "The guy’s a top genius, so it’s only natural for him to have multiple girlfriends."
"??? What the heck? Girlfriends or not?"
He Lewei sighed, "That’s the gap. I thought I was already pretty awesome, but who would’ve thought there’s someone even more incredible in the world. Looking at it this way, the Capital City isn’t that great after all."
Actually, He Lewei is quite a proud person; he can legitimately look down on Fan Shujing.
For others, Fan Shujing could only be a dream goal.
He’s not really that envious of Li Yang having a treasure like Jiang Banxia as a girlfriend, since that’s his baseline.
Childhood sweethearts can’t beat surprise rivals? The main thing is that Li Yang is excellent in every way, and dating Jiang Banxia is his achievement.
But the plot twists are getting weirder, with ex-girlfriends, even ex-ex-girlfriends making a comeback.
Maybe those girls have something wrong in their heads, but he also wants a girlfriend with that kind of insanity.
To be able to pick out the crazy ones from billions of people takes some skills.
His inherent psychological advantage has vanished in just a month since school started.
"Damn, I asked what happened with him, and you went off on a tangent?"
Chen Weixing didn’t get it.
He Lewei could only say, "He went on a honeymoon with another girlfriend, won’t be back for more than ten days."
"Huh? Skipping all classes?"
He Lewei took out a photo and asked, "If you had a chance to go on a honeymoon with this kind of girlfriend, would you still prioritize classes?"
He showed a photo of Wang Manqi; since he hadn’t gotten her approval, he was too shy to add her as a friend.
Chen Weixing took a glance, "Screw class!"
...
Although not many people knew Li Yang went to compete, Li Yang and Jiang Banxia had been too dazzling, getting attention wherever they went.
As the holiday ended and a few days into the start of the semester, someone noticed that Li Yang hadn’t attended class.
Yet, in the class group chat, Li Yang kept sending messages, coordinating class situations.
Finally, during the second week of Li Yang’s absence, on Tuesday.
Someone reported Li Yang’s seven consecutive days of absence to Lei Yiming.
Hearing this, Lei Yiming was a bit incredulous.
After all, in his eyes, Li Yang was a very diligent person, quite proactive about his studies.
Skipping classes at Jing University isn’t rare, but consistently skipping them is a big deal.
At Jing University, even if you’re not excellent, you can graduate.
But having a poor attitude gives teachers a bad impression.
During exams, they might not give you attendance bonus points, which is understandable.
With the courses continuing, many teachers become familiar with students. If Li Yang is absent for so many days and then suddenly returns, he’ll seem unfamiliar to the teachers.
Moreover, as class president, Li Yang has always needed to communicate with all the teachers, making him a particularly familiar figure. Suddenly not showing up for class during this period?
The teachers have definitely noticed.
He first called Li Yang, but unfortunately, Li Yang didn’t answer.
Then he started asking about a few teachers’ situations, and those teachers couldn’t be too certain, as there was no roll call.
He waited until past nine in the evening when Li Yang finally called back.
"Lei, sorry, I was just playing a match, didn’t have my phone on me."
Lei Yiming was baffled, "Playing a match? What match?"
"Uh... the LOL World Championship."
Lei Yiming’s gaze instantly turned strange. He’d played games before; after all, as an assistant professor, he had a relatively leisurely time.
For the wildly popular game LOL, he must have spent quite a bit of time playing it. Although he was always pretty bad at it, it didn’t stop him from knowing that the World Championship was currently being held.
But what’s it got to do with you, Li Yang?
He hadn’t been watching the matches, after all playing games was leisure, watching was pure time-wasting.
"You’re sure it’s the World Championship? You’re a professional LOL player?"
Li Yang replied, "Yeah, with the EDG Team."
"What’s your ID?"
"YANG"
"There’s no player named that in the EDG Team, though I haven’t watched many games, I catch some news daily while playing."
"Lei, haven’t you logged into the game recently? There should be some match videos on the homepage now. I’ve always been a registered professional LOL player, just hadn’t been on stage before. I only debuted during the quarterfinals on the 5th."
Lei Yiming: "..."
He promptly got out his laptop and logged into the gaming client.
On the client, there were related videos of the World Championship.
He casually opened a title featuring EDG, and soon saw Li Yang in action.
Then he was completely shocked.
What the heck is this?
His student, in Jing University Guanghua School of Management, the top science scorer from Zhongyuan, was actually also a professional player?
He watched the video and found that Li Yang performed quite well, leading EDG smoothly into the semifinals.
This video was from a few days ago, having just finished today’s match, and related videos had yet to be uploaded to the client.
"Li Yang, how did today’s match go? Did you win?"
"Yep, 19th we’ll play the finals."
Lei Yiming: "..."
He paused for a moment and said, "Uh... you just finished a match, maybe rest a bit first. You’re not competing tomorrow, right? We can talk more then."
He needed to take a breather.
Damn, this is big news!
"Alright then, no worries, Lei. The classes I’ve missed, I’ll catch up on them first thing when I get back."
