Chapter 850: Such Horror
Li Xiaoru didn't understand what the teacher meant at first. Her English was not bad and she had no problem with basic communication, but she had no idea how to answer this question.
What is a “Princess from the Han Dynasty”?
She hasn't had any performances recently. She practices the piano alone every day until she feels like vomiting. She doesn't even have time to communicate with her classmates. How can she have an ensemble?
Li Xiaoru was confused and could only reply, "Sorry, you got the wrong person."
"No way, my eyesight is so bad?" The teacher said to himself. His next move was to take out his mobile phone, open YouTube, find the Han Dynasty Princess's channel, and open the video called "Butterfly Lover", which was still broadcast publicly...
Li Xiaoru was shocked when she heard the music of "Butterfly Lovers" which was so familiar.
How could a video of her and Liu Man's performance from eight hundred years ago appear on the phone of a senior associate professor of Juilliard's piano department?!
Li Xiaoru worked so hard that she certainly had no time to play with her phone. To prevent herself from being distracted, she uninstalled all apps that might interfere with her studies, including Weibo. She hadn't updated her Weibo for as long as she had been in the United States. So during the Spring Festival, the young ladies all tagged her on Weibo to send her blessings, but she didn't respond. As for YouTube, she had never downloaded it!
She turned a deaf ear to the outside world and focused on practicing the piano, so of course she had no idea about the storm Liu Lan had caused on the Internet in recent days.
...
...
The teacher pointed to the girl playing the piano in the video and asked her again, "Is this girl you?"
Li Xiaoru nodded blankly, "Yes."
Suddenly the whole classroom became noisy.
"See, I told you it was her, but you still didn't believe me!"
"It's unbelievable that she is so strong."
"We don't usually communicate with her, we should try to be friends with her."
The teacher also showed Li Xiaoru a kind and friendly smile, which made her flattered. On the surface, this teacher was easier to get along with than the female professor who was in charge of her, but he was notoriously strict in grading homework. Li Xiaoru got a C last time, and she was depressed for a long time.
The teacher asked her, "Are you familiar with the Han Dynasty princess?" This question also made the students prick up their ears. Although they all studied piano and did not know Chinese instruments, this did not hinder their ability to appreciate music. Really good music is not about technique, but about soul. The performance of outstanding pianists has their own unique soul, which can touch the depths of people's hearts. The Han Dynasty princess and her two ensemble members also have such souls. Otherwise, how can there be the saying: "Beautiful appearances are all the same, but interesting souls are rare?"
Music lovers and practitioners from all over the world have commented on the three songs online. They said they understood what the songs wanted to tell them and gave them high praise. This is another reason why the music video of "Princess of the Han Dynasty" is so popular on the Internet.
The ignorant Li Xiaoru could probably guess what Liu Man had done at this time. Princess Liu Man==Princess of the Han Palace, so she answered the teacher, "We were classmates before, and now we are very good friends."
The teacher smiled and said "good" three times, then asked her to sit down in her seat and the class officially began.
Even during class, the students around her did not stop looking at Li Xiaoru. They had never really looked at this exchange student from China carefully before.
Li Xiaoru felt restrained. She quietly took out her mobile phone under the table and downloaded Weibo and YouTube.
As she was used to, she saw countless messages and private messages about her as soon as she entered the main page. Most of the messages were: "Sister Xiaoru, what's wrong with you? You haven't updated your Weibo for a long time. Are you doing well in the United States?"
