Translator: Lan Editor: Efydatia
Qin Guan felt relieved . It was his first time being a real hero and the first time the was acting in an indie film . He had learned a lot from that .

In that liberal situation, he had learned to express himself freely . During the shooting, Gus hadn’t intervened with Qin Guan's performance . He had just chosen a reliable script, cast and crew, and he had depended on them .

Red maple leaves were flying in the wind as Qin Guan waved farewell at the crew and got into his new car .

Alex’s parents had come to pick up their son . They were arranging his luggage carefully in their car . The boy with the blonde hair watched the small blue car drive away in obsessive admiration .





"Jimmy! Honey, let’s go!"

"I’m coming!" Nobody knew what influence Qin Guan would have on his future career .

After the film, Qin Guan had spare time to enjoy his life on campus . The Ivy League football league was about to start . Joseph had been talking about it non stop, annoying Qin Guan .

Columbia University could be considered the founder of the football league . In 1876, Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Columbia had organized the first college football league in the US .

Then four more universities from the Northeast had joined the league to form the top eight football teams in the US . After that, other universities had imitated them, forming 60 different leagues at different places .




In the early 1900s, Ivy League universities started granting sports scholarships, and sports became fashionable and popular around campus . At the time, those eight teams were considered the best in America .

The champion of the national football league would always be in the Ivy League though .

However, as society progressed, the eight universities realized they had gotten distracted from their goal, which was elite education . The sports scholarships didn't bring any real advantages to their development . Instead, they lowered the academic level .

As a result, they began to rethink the point of education and make wise reforms . They cancelled athletic scholarships and poured all their resources into academic studies . Now, Ivy League universities were not famous for their sports league anymore, but their elite studying programs .

On the other side, after a whole century, the game had become a tradition of these universities . It was like a holiday for them . That day, older students would return to campus to meet their old friends . They would spend a day on campus, drink coffee or tea, and remember the old times by wearing their old school uniforms .





As a result, this was the best chance for the university to find sponsors . Graduates tended to make generous donations after all .

Qin Guan and Cong Nianwei felt regretful as they sat amid the audience . Joseph had told them it would be an easy match and they would only have to cheer for him by the court . They were feeling like they’d been sandwiched on the spectator stands though, while Joseph was enjoying the applause of the court .

The ability of the athletes aside, they all looked really cool in their sports equipment . Their white protective suits and silver helmets made them look formidable .

Qin Guan had invited Susanna and her girls, who were dancing and cheering in their traditional Columbia uniforms .

Their opponent was Harvard, whose team had the tallest players . Of course, Guan Jian was in it . He was the only international student in their team of five .

He was a strong man who loved sports, so he had become a member of the Harvard football team . He was also the only Chinese player in the game, which made the Chinese students feel proud .

The two teams were getting ready for the match . They were playing at Columbia’s home court, so most of the audience was made up of Qin Guan's fellow students . Harvard was very powerful though . Every Harvard graduate in New York had asked for a day off that day . Wearing their traditional Harvard school uniforms and T-shirts, they had gone there to cheer for their Alma Mater .

John led Qin Guan to a corner and handed him a T-shirt in secret . Qin Guan unfolded the T-shirt and saw the Harvard badge on it .

"Qin Guan, do me a favor and put it on . "

"Hey, this is our opponent . I’ll get beaten . "

John grinned, baring his white teeth . "Don't worry, trust me . "
