"The progress of human society is reflected in having order, and the law is the pillar of that order.

Of course, at any time in human society, classes will emerge.

When the barriers between classes become insurmountable, social conflicts will become increasingly acute, and the good and evil in human nature will grow wildly.

The law is the last safeguard against the collapse of social order. It won't teach people to be good to a certain extent, but it will constantly remind people not to be too evil.

For example, the law can't stipulate that my students aren't allowed to sleep in my class!"

The teacher on the podium pointed at a student sleeping soundly on the desk below, teasingly.

"Hahahahaha!"

The laughter of the students woke up Li Fan, who was sleeping on the desk.

"Fuck, trying to use me and still want the crystal, no one will get it!"

Li Fan, with bloodshot eyes, suddenly woke up from his dream and stood up.

Only to find himself in a classroom, and the person on the podium was Professor Chen, whose memory had become somewhat blurry.

His shout directly startled the nearly fifty-year-old Professor Chen and the entire class of students.

"Has he gone mad playing League of Legends?"

"Even the top student has fallen!"

"Li Fan must have dreamed about the promotion match! Hahaha"

After a brief silence, the students began to whisper and tease.

Li Fan was still in a state of confusion, wondering how he ended up here.

The clean and bright classroom, the spotless window glass, the constantly flickering projector, and Professor Chen in a Zhongshan suit, all of this was completely out of place with the Doomsday scenario.

Li Fan touched his cheek, smooth and elastic, the hideous scar was gone, and his eyes could see clearly.

He tried to meditate and gather energy, but there was no reaction in his body.

All of this was proving that he was just a third-year student who had fallen asleep.

Li Fan pinched his thigh hard.

Pain, real pain.

Could it be that he had just had a dream, an absurd Doomsday dream?!

While he was still trying to distinguish which was reality and which was a dream.

Professor Chen on the podium leisurely picked up his teacup, took a sip, walked to the water dispenser, and teased:

"Student, who stole your crystal, do you need legal assistance?"

Li Fan looked around the environment with a bewildered gaze.

Then he began to ask himself a series of existential questions.

Who am I?

Where am I?

Where did I come from?

Where am I going?

He was still a student, and a well-known top student at that, but now his top student persona was about to collapse!

How should he resolve this awkward situation? Waiting online, quite urgent!

His desk mate, Kou Peng, gently tugged at Li Fan's sleeve, giving him advice, and whispered:

"Faint!"

Hearing this suggestion from his desk mate and best friend, Li Fan's face was full of black lines, and he whispered back:

"Isn't that nonsense, the indoor temperature is 21 degrees, well-ventilated, and well-lit. Plus, with my strong physique, pretending to faint like Lin Daiyu. Are you kidding me?"

Suddenly, a tearing pain surged through his brain, and Li Fan's eyes rolled back as he performed a perfect zombie fall for everyone.

Thud!

His head made intimate contact with the ground, the sound was incredibly loud!

The classroom fell silent instantly, and the students were so shocked their mouths could fit an egg.

Kou Peng held his head in his hands, muttering:

"Wow, you say no, but your body is honest. Didn't see you had this trait!"

Professor Chen even forgot to pick up his cup. He was stunned for a long time before coming back to his senses.

Li Fan was his most promising student, and he had only intended to give him a light reprimand. He didn't expect the kid to be so intense.

He then shook his head helplessly, waved at Kou Peng, and said:

"Go, go, take him to the infirmary, don't let him really hurt his brain."

Kou Peng quickly grabbed Li Fan's arm, supporting him out of the classroom, heading to the infirmary.

In the infirmary, Li Fan lay on the bed, still unconscious.

Kou Peng only realized Li Fan wasn't pretending to faint after he helped him out of the classroom, which scared him.

After a series of examinations by the school doctor, the result was: excessive staying up late, mental exhaustion, the brain activated an automatic protection mechanism, just need more rest.

This finally put Kou Peng's mind at ease.

Kou Peng was Li Fan's roommate and classmate for three years in university, and they got along very well.

Kou Peng knew about Li Fan's family situation, growing up in an orphanage, and after it closed, he was adopted by the orphanage's director and his wife.

Li Fan was very sensible from a young age. He excelled in both academics and interpersonal skills.

He always gave off an optimistic and confident vibe, without a trace of the inferiority and timidity typically associated with being from an orphanage.

His excellent academic performance earned him a direct admission to the nationally renowned Xigong University.

Li Fan's excellence was inseparable from the familial education he received from the director couple since childhood.

Unfortunately, good people don't live long, and just two months after Li Fan started university, the couple died in a car accident.

From then on, Li Fan truly became an orphan.

After sleeping for over three hours, Li Fan rubbed the back of his head, sat up from the bed, and asked in a daze:

"Where am I?"

Because the infirmary's setup was very familiar, yet it gave Li Fan a sense of distant unfamiliarity.

Like the feeling of returning to one's hometown after seven or eight years.

Kou Peng handed Li Fan a cup of water and said:

"The infirmary. You're really something, really fell, what were you doing last night? You even dared to sleep in Old Chen's class?"

Li Fan held the cup, touched his left eye with one hand, feeling the real touch, still not at ease, he took out his phone and opened the camera.

Looking at his youthful and handsome face, his heart slowly settled down, and he sighed lightly, saying:

"I had a dream?"

Kou Peng teased:

"A dream? Dreamed about Sion stealing the crystal in the promotion match?"

"Don't talk nonsense..."

The words on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back by Li Fan.

If the things in the dream were bound to happen, he couldn't tell Kou Peng.

Thinking about how he lived like a dog in the dream, being chased all over the mountains.

In the end, he was betrayed by his brother and the closest person, and had to fight to the death, jumping off a cliff to commit suicide.

He was too low, even in dreams he didn't dare to dream big.

"Your LOL skills, just stop playing, someone who can drag me from diamond to bronze, please stay away from LOL, thanks."

"Anything else? If not, get lost."

"Okay, since you're fine, I'll go first, it's almost noon, I have to deliver lunch to my goddess."

With that, Kou Peng got up and walked out, turning his head at the door and said:

"By the way, your sister Ruoxue just called you, I answered.

She heard you fainted and is very worried about you. Remember to call her back."

The door closed, leaving Li Fan alone in the room, lying back on the bed, his thoughts unsettled, unsure if he should return the call.

Was it really just a dream? The realism of it had too much of an impact on him.

If it were before, hearing that Ruoxue called him, he would definitely call back immediately.

After all, Yuan Ruoxue was now his only family in the world.

Yuan Ruoxue was the granddaughter of Yuan Feng, the commander-in-chief of the Yanjing military district. At five years old, she was kidnapped to Chang'an.

Coincidentally, the traffickers encountered a crackdown on public security and abandoned her, leaving her to wander for half a month before a kind person sent her to the police station.

Due to the incomplete DNA database at the time and the cross-province nature, her parents weren't found.

She was temporarily transferred to the orphanage run by Li Fan's adoptive parents, where she met Li Fan.

At that time, Yuan Ruoxue had been with the traffickers for half a year, becoming withdrawn and introverted.

In the orphanage, she was not close to anyone, a complete problem child. Except for an inexplicable closeness to the optimistic Li Fan.

In those years at the orphanage, Yuan Ruoxue became Li Fan's constant companion, attending classes together, eating together, and insisting on sleeping together.

Until six years later, when Yuan Ruoxue was twelve, her family found her and took her back to Yanjing.

But the connection with Li Fan's family never broke, visiting during holidays.

After all, it was Li Fan's adoptive parents' care that kept Yuan Ruoxue from ending up on the streets.

Since the death of his adoptive parents, Yuan Ruoxue became Li Fan's emotional anchor in terms of family.

But that dream left Li Fan inexplicably irritable. Holding the phone, looking at the familiar number in the contacts, he was very conflicted.

While Li Fan was still struggling with his thoughts, the phone rang, it was Yuan Ruoxue.

After hesitating for a long time, he chose to answer the call.

"Hello!"

"Brother, are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

The other side of the call sensed Li Fan's cold attitude and urgently asked:

"Did something happen to you? Are you sick? Did you go to the hospital for a check-up?"

"No!"

"That's not right, what's going on with you? You're definitely hiding something from me."

"I told you, I'm fine!"

Li Fan became increasingly irritable, if it were before, he would never have snapped at Yuan Ruoxue like this.

Yuan Ruoxue seemed bewildered by Li Fan's inexplicable attitude.

"Brother, you..."

"I have to go to class, I'll contact you in a few days!"

With that, he hung up the phone.

The pain from that dream was so real, he couldn't treat her the same as before.

Even if those things hadn't happened yet.

He needed to quickly shake off the influence of that nightmare and return to normal life, getting up and leaving the infirmary.

As for future matters, he would deal with them later.

Li Fan's adoptive parents were local tycoons in Chang'an, having suffered physical injuries, they had no children.

In middle age, they understood life, sold their factory, and opened a sizable orphanage.

After their passing, they left Li Fan a house, a piece of land, and a medium-sized supermarket of a thousand square meters, managed by hired staff.

Leaving the infirmary, Li Fan went straight back to his home in Chang'an.

Since the death of his adoptive parents, he rarely returned.

Opening the door was like opening a long-sealed music box, filled with memories of his childhood.

It was a commercial apartment near the Drum Tower, a duplex on the top floor, 15+16 floors. The 15th floor was 160 square meters, the 16th floor had a recreation room, a gym, and a 60-square-meter terrace with various flowers and plants.

In that dream, during the early Doomsday, the house was occupied by a local thug from the neighborhood, while he huddled in the small supermarket's storeroom to survive the scorching summer.

Fortunately, it was just a dream, and everything was still in his hands."
