Professor Chen wouldn't find it strange if second- or third-year students looked familiar. But these freshmen had just arrived at the school; how could he feel like he'd seen them before?
Professor Chen was secretly puzzled, but he didn't delay the course and went straight to the point.
However, he soon discovered that this seemingly familiar student was very active. Whenever he asked a question, the student would raise his hand to answer. He didn't seem like a new student at all.
Professor Chen felt he could see a passion in her eyes—a passion for Chinese literature.
However, Su Yu was thinking that the old professor was giving a very good lecture. He also seemed very kind.
I wonder if they'll give her extra tutoring in the future, which could lead to her graduating early.
Spending four years in school is too difficult.
Of course, one person alone is definitely not enough; we would also appreciate having other professors.
Thinking about it this way, Su Yu's eyes burned even brighter with passion.
After the first lesson, everyone was still a bit confused. After all, it was their first time encountering such a specialized course. Unlike their years of studying Chinese and math, where they were already used to the established patterns.
Su Yu, however, didn't feel that way at all. She even prepared a few questions after class to ask the teacher for clarification.
The saying goes, "To impart knowledge, teach skills, and resolve doubts." A responsible teacher enjoys resolving students' doubts.
In their eyes, good students also like to ask all sorts of questions.
After Professor Chen offered some pointers, he asked curiously, "Young man, haven't we met somewhere before?"
"I also feel that you look familiar, Professor. I just thought about it, and it seems that I often see you practicing swordsmanship during my morning reading. It seems to be Tai Chi sword."
"Oh, me..." Professor Chen suddenly realized. During the first few days of freshman enrollment, he seemed to have always seen a student exercising and then reading a book.
"It's rare to see someone so eager to learn right after the start of the semester," Professor Chen praised.
Su Yu smiled and said, "I didn't have the chance to take the college entrance exam before, but I finally passed it through self-study, and I cherish it very much. To be honest, I've always loved literature."
"You passed the exam through self-study?" Professor Chen asked in surprise. He hadn't expected this student to be self-taught. However, judging by his age, he did look older than the other students.
Su Yu nodded, "Yes, I've been working for many years, but I've never been able to let go of my literary dream, so I came to university."
Upon hearing this, Professor Chen's impression of the student improved even further. The student was diligent in his studies and had a certain level of academic achievement. Crucially, he had maintained this level of dedication for many years. This requires immense perseverance.
Su Yu said apologetically, "Professor, I'm older than the other students, and my thinking ability may not be as good as theirs, but I will try my best. I'm sorry to trouble you in the future."
“This student,”
"My name is Su Yu."
"Su Yu, it is a teacher's duty to teach and answer your questions. As long as you are willing to learn, the teacher will teach you well. Thinking ability can be developed. Don't be discouraged."
Su Yu nodded happily, "Yes, I've got it. Thank you, Professor."
In the next class, I ran into Professor Zhao, an "old acquaintance".
Professor Zhao is a female professor who looks to be in her sixties. The old lady is not particularly attractive, but she has a very good temperament. She is clearly someone who has been reading for many years.
Su Yu and she had bumped into each other a few times, but they hadn't spoken. She usually just looked for books, borrowed them, and read them in her dorm. Their eyes met a few times during these searches, but Su Yu mostly acted as if they didn't know each other, focusing intently on her book.
At this moment, Professor Zhao also looked at Su Yu curiously, and Su Yu looked surprised. The two exchanged a glance without leaving a trace. Then Professor Zhao began his lecture.
As Su Yu took notes, she thought to herself that she could greet the old professor the next time she went to the library.
Finally, school was over in the afternoon, and most of the students felt relieved.
The first lesson, especially with such unfamiliar material, was quite challenging for many. Of course, there were also some students who were naturally gifted at studying, who were incredibly enthusiastic and excited about learning new knowledge.
Back in the dorm, everyone went out to eat together. The girls in the dorm all enjoyed being with Su Yu. Being with Su Yu always made them feel safe and secure in this unfamiliar environment.
Moreover, you can learn something from Su Yu.
Xu Lili saw several people surround Su Yu and leave the classroom without calling out to her, and she felt a surge of resentment. She felt isolated.
Looking at Li Ping, who was engrossed in writing, she frowned and said, "Hey, aren't you going to eat?"
"I'm not eating now." Li Ping finished speaking and continued to bury herself in taking notes.
"What a weirdo." Xu Lili took her lunchbox and went out. If she hadn't been searching for company, she wouldn't have called this strange person; every single word he uttered was...unpleasant. He clearly had something wrong with him.
She made up her mind: this time when she goes back, she will definitely apply to change dorm rooms. She absolutely will not live here again.
...
During the first week, everyone gradually adapted. Su Yu was also notified by the student council that she had become a new member of the student council.
Upon arriving at the student council, Su Yu immediately realized that the student council's situation was really not good.
University life right now revolves around studying. There aren't many people in the student union, and nobody really pays attention to the group. As a member of the student union, I just occasionally follow the school's instructions and contribute to some large-scale school events.
The previous student council president has graduated, so a new student council president is currently being elected.
Su Yu said, "This must be for upperclassmen. It must be for seniors."
