Three days later, in the evening, Lin Ran took out the key from his pocket with his schoolbag on his shoulder, opened the door of his house, and was greeted by a burst of meaty fragrance.

A dignified-looking middle-aged man is working in the kitchen wearing an apron, which looks quite similar to Lin Ran from the outside, but his temperament is more restrained and mature, it is Lin Ran's father Lin Mingdong.

On the table are several delicate-looking dishes, steaming hot and fragrant.

"Coming back?" Lin Mingdong glanced at Lin Ran, who had just entered the door, "Hurry up and change your clothes to eat." ”

Lin Ran took off his school uniform, washed his hands and returned to the kitchen, "Didn't I say before, don't put the dishes you bought in the restaurant on the plate in the future, and wash the dishes again." ”

Whether his father can cook Lin Ran knew very well in his heart that these delicate-looking dishes were not from him at first glance.

Lin Mingdong smiled awkwardly and handed the chopsticks in his hand to Lin Ran.

"How's it been at school lately?" Lin Mingdong took the initiative to ask.

Lin Ran sandwiched a chopsticks of biluo shrimp, the shrimp is the same color as white jade, the taste is fresh and tender in the mouth, with a bit of the fragrance of tea, this kind of dish he usually can't eat.

"It's okay...... Lin Ran took a bite of rice into his mouth, "I have something to discuss with you, I want to go professional." ”

"Playing professionally?" Lin Mingdong stared at his son, who has worked in an internet company for many years and also knows that the recent development of esports is in full swing.

"That's right, there's already a team coming to me," Lin Ran said, "I'm going to try." ”

"Eat first, we'll talk later." Lin Mingdong was expressionless and did not make a clear statement.

This made Lin Ran's heart go up and down, although the dishes Lin Mingdong brought back from the restaurant were delicious enough, but when he entered his mouth, he felt the same taste as chewing wax, and even the Biluo shrimp that he had always loved was not fragrant.

The two of them had their own thoughts, and they didn't have much appetite, so they hurriedly washed the dishes and chopsticks.

"Lin Ran," his father sat on the sofa in the living room, he looked a little tired, took off his glasses, and gently kneaded the bridge of his nose, "What do you think?" ”

"You want to play live broadcast for a while, I agree, as long as you survive the third year of high school, I won't stop you from playing some more outrageous tricks when you get to college," Lin Mingdong looked at the unpopular house, and his eyes flashed with inexplicable emotions, "But not now." ”

"You think I'm just playing tickets?" Lin Ran asked.

"Isn't it?" Lin Mingdong asked rhetorically.

Lin Ran's lips tightened, and the results of the live broadcast made him feel unconfident to reply, "You know, I don't like to study ......"

"What if you don't make a name for yourself in your profession," Lin Mingdong said with a bit of anger, "Do you retire in your twenties and break into society with a high school degree?" ”

Seeing that Lin Ran was no longer speaking, he slowly calmed his tone, "I don't deny that there are e-sports geniuses, they are naturally suitable for eating this bowl of rice, but are you?" ”

"I think I am." Lin Ran raised his head, his gaze was firm, and he looked into Lin Mingdong's eyes.

"Give me a year, if I can't make a reputation, I'll come back and repeat the year of high school entrance examination," Lin Ran assured, "If I succeed in this year, don't stop me." ”

Lin Mingdong looked at his son sitting opposite, since he could remember, he had spent very little time by his side, and he had been working hard for life, and now he looked at Lin Ran's handsome appearance that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

Lin Ran's facial features integrate the strengths of Lin Mingdong and his wife, especially those eyes, which are clear and resolute, every time Lin Mingdong sees Lin Ran's eyes, he always thinks of his lover who worked hand in hand back then.

But in the blink of an eye, the yin and yang have been separated.

Lin Mingdong was in a trance for a while.

"One year," Lin Mingdong's voice was hoarse, just like when Lin Ran had to do a live broadcast two months ago, he compromised again, "If you don't succeed, then come back to study and go to college honestly." ”

"Lin Ran, you remember, you must think carefully before doing things, and make a decision after thinking about it safely," Lin Mingdong dragged the suitcase to the bedroom, "You are now young and I have you to cover you later, what if I also die like your mother?" ”

Lin Ran didn't say anything.

With my father's consent, all the processes went fast.

Fat Dudu has already rented the base and booked a high-speed rail ticket for him, as long as he has completed the suspension procedures here, he can go directly to Shanghai.

In the early morning of October 25th, the KOO team swept FNC 3:0 and met SKT in the finals, which was also from the LCK region, which was also the first time that the League of Legends S Series was held in the LCK league civil war, and its dominance can be seen.

Lin Ran stayed up all night to watch the game, even if he had to sigh at the strength of the LCK region, they completely dominated the global finals, in contrast, the LPL region that introduced a large number of Korean aid only won the top eight, which is bitter and self-aware in comparison.

The next day he got up early in the morning to deliver the materials for his leave of absence.

Lin Ran got off the bicycle in a loose black sweatshirt and walked into the school gate with other classmates, which is a provincial key old school with a long history, the architectural style is antique and quite Suzhou characteristics, and there is an ancient temple next door, which is said to have been built by Fan Zhongyan.

"Lin Ran!" A crisp female voice came from behind him.

Lin Ran turned around, and a beautiful girl in a white long-sleeved shirt and blue jeans greeted him.

Su Cheng, Lin Ran's old acquaintance, from elementary school to high school, the two have been in the same class, and they have been at the same table for two years in junior high school, and they know each other well.

"Are you really going to take a leave of absence?" Su Cheng had a little worry on his face, and the two walked to the campus together, "What professional e-sports are you going to play?" ”

Unlike Lin Ran, Su Cheng has always had excellent grades, if she hadn't given Lin Ran a make-up lesson before the high school entrance examination, with his character of studying for three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, it would have been impossible for him to be admitted to the key class of this school as the tail of the crane.

Thanks to Su Cheng's supervision, Lin Ran was able to maintain his academic performance and did not fall out of the key class.

"That's right," Lin Ran nodded, took Su Cheng's heavy schoolbag and put it on the bicycle, "I'll go to Shanghai the day after tomorrow." ”

"Is this reliable?" Su Cheng frowned, like an old mother who was not worried about her son's travel, "I mean...... Your grades are not bad, and you can go to key universities in the normal college entrance examination. ”

At this time, it was only 2015, and the League of Legends game was not as interesting as in later generations, and Su Cheng had only watched Lin Ran play a few games, and he was basically in a state of ignorance.

"Don't worry," Lin Ran said with relief, "If you can't get grades, it's a big deal to come back and work hard to repeat your studies for a year, and with your master's intelligence, maybe you can still be your junior in the same school." ”

"Your words make me unsure whether to continue to say the words of blessing." Su Cheng said with a smile.

When the two came to the front of the teaching building, several students on duty were sweeping the fallen leaves under the trees, and the sound of laughter and jokes came to their ears.

"Keep in touch in the future," Su Cheng took off his schoolbag from Lin Ran's bicycle, pursed his lips to reveal a pair of sweet dimples, and waved goodbye, "I wish you a smooth journey and a bright future...... Became famous at a young age. ”

Lin Ran watched Su Cheng's ponytail flash into the teaching building one by one, and then pushed the car to the office building.
