Chapter 106 Meeting with the Calligrapher
The next day when Liu Lan came to the classroom, she noticed something was wrong between Li Xiaoru and Wang Nina. In the past, they always sat next to each other and would even save a seat for themselves.
At this time, Li Xiaoru was sitting alone in the corner of the last row, feeling lonely.
Wang Nina sat with a group of girls, looking at Li Xiaoru, pointing and laughing.
Since the new semester, Wang Nina has indeed often hung out with Xu Zihan and the others, but Li Xiaoru would also sit near them. Today, something was obviously wrong.
Seeing Liu Lan walk into the classroom, Wang Nina and the other girls said something and there was another burst of laughter.
Liu Lan walked quickly to Li Xiaoru and sat down next to her.
Li Xiaoru looked very bad.
"Did you have a fight with Wang Nina?" she asked Li Xiaoru in a low voice.
"Don't mention this name, I'm done with her!"
...
...
Liu Lan thought it was just a common quarrel between girls, but Li Xiaoru pulled her aside and whispered in her ear, "Stay away from Wang Nina in the future. I think she has a problem with her character."
The quarrel last night and Wang Nina's slamming the door and leaving later did not make the carefree Li Xiaoru take it to heart.
But this morning when she came to class, Li Xiaoru heard from her classmates that Liu Lan had a bad style, saying that Liu Lan had always had a crush on Tang Tu and had seduced him, and that she had met a rich second-generation from another school and had free food and drinks. The so-called Hanfu goddess title on the Internet was hyped up by her own money.
What shocked Li Xiaoru even more was that her piano classmates actually thought these rumors made sense:
First, they all saw Tang Tu coming to the classroom to find Liu Lan; second, many people saw Liu Lan going to Starbucks with a boy from another school last night; third, they all knew Liu Lan's piano level, and her accompaniment for Xiao Ke'er was really not that great, and any one of them could achieve the same effect by playing the electronic piano. Liu Lan's only advantage was her pretty face, and it really seemed like she was hyped up by a group of internet trolls.
Li Xiaoru didn't dare tell Liu Lan about these rumors, but these unpleasant words began to spread in their department little by little like a chronic virus.
Liu Lan knew nothing about this.
Two days later, Jiang Chengfeng called Liu Lan and told her that the professor wanted to meet her in person and agreed on a time.
Liu Lan arrived at Capital University as promised.
As one of the top universities in the country, the humanistic environment and academic atmosphere of Capital University are completely different from those of the Conservatory of Music. Eighty percent of the students on campus wear glasses, while the situation at the Conservatory of Music is just the opposite - the myopia rate is less than 20%.
This is really the territory of academic masters!
Liu Lan sighed.
Some students were carrying oversized backpacks, some were holding books, and they were in a hurry to go to class. In sharp contrast, some of Liu Lan's classmates never brought textbooks to class, and some went to the bookstore to buy books only when the exam was approaching. Everyone thought that the knowledge in the books was too rigid and boring. Instrumental music performance depends on innate talent and acquired hard work. What's the point of just reading books and memorizing them?
After all, music and academics have different focuses.
Because Sun Weiwei also studied at Capital University, Liu Lan's previous owner had never set foot in this university. She was not only arrogant, but also inferior. She knew very well that except for her appearance, she could not compare to Sun Weiwei in any other way.
"Miss,"
Liu Lan heard Jiang Chengfeng calling from behind. She turned around and saw Jiang Chengfeng running over and standing in front of her, panting.
"Sorry, sorry, I was delayed a little by the class just now."
"It's okay, I just got here too."
"That's good, that's good," Jiang Chengfeng said calmly, "Let's go, I'll take you to the Faculty of Arts."
The School of Arts at Capital University is a large and broad concept, covering a wide range of majors. The professor who met with Liu Lan was Su Yi, the vice dean of the School of Arts. He also has another title - the dean of the Chinese Calligraphy Institute of Capital University.
Jiang Chengfeng led Liu Lan, turning left and right and taking shortcuts, walking deep into the Capital University. Passing through a birch forest, an antique building gradually came into Liu Lan's sight.
The building has green tiles and red roofs, carved railings and painted buildings. There are two auspicious stone beasts standing at the entrance. It is majestic and dignified, and looks very much like a corner of the Forbidden City.
Liu Lan saw a plaque on the side of the main entrance with the words "Capital University Chinese Calligraphy Institute" written in Li script.
Thanks to Liu Lan, Jiang Chengfeng, an engineering student, had been here several times before. He took Liu Lan to the door of the dean's office with ease.
