Li Xiaoru, who is studying at the Juilliard School, finally realizes her childhood dream that was out of reach, but the reality is far more cruel than she imagined.

Since coming to the United States, Li Xiaoru's weight has plummeted, she is already very slim, 170 tall, only in her early 100 pounds, and now she is only 90 pounds, like a paper man, the kind that can fall when the wind blows, a little scary. Every time she videos with Jiang Chengfeng, she turns on special effects to make herself fatter and go against others. She is grateful for the high technology that helped her hide her poor health from her family and boyfriend.

After Mr. Martin brought Li Xiaoru into Julia's realm, he didn't care about anything, and every teacher in this school was busy. Unless you are extremely talented and unparalleled in the world, when you get here, you will only be beaten by the strong.

Li Xiaoru is self-aware, she knows that she is stained with Liu Yan's light, to be precise, Yu Zhan's light. On her first day in New York, one of Mr. Martin's assistants came to pick her up at the airport.

On the way to the school, the assistant chatted with her and said that many exchange students from all over the world come to study in their piano department every year, as well as other majors. These students are excellent and talented students in the conservatories of their respective countries, but Mr. Martin rarely asks about exchange students, he is too busy, and such trivial things are not worth his trouble.

But there are special cases, Li Xiaoru is a special case, there are several exchange students before her, and they have also received special attention from Mr. Martin, not that they have three heads and six arms, but they have extraordinary backgrounds, some are European royal nobles, some are the children of chaebol tycoons, and some of their ancestors are high-ranking politicians. Guest.

The assistant asked Li Xiaoru in a curious tone, what is her family doing, is it a certain second or third generation in China?

The simple Li Xiaoru only heard his voice at this time, the world is divided into three, six, nine and so on whenever and where, and the assistant probably wants to know her identity and take the opportunity to act, whether to please her or snub her.

She was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer her assistant's questions.

The assistant also knew the etiquette and didn't ask, but after completing the admission procedures, Li Xiaoru never saw this person again, she thought, the assistant should have asked her origin from Mr. Martin. found that it was ordinary, so I didn't bother to take care of her.

But the teachers at school are not snobs, because they are used to seeing celebrities, or they themselves are celebrities, and they don't care about these things.

But Li Xiaoru's studies did not get any better because of this.

Each Juilliard exchange student will be assigned to study under a teacher, a bit like the graduate teaching model, Li Xiaoru was assigned to a female piano professor, she mainly studied piano sight-reading with her, and also had to take other courses in the third year, the curriculum is very full, so that exchange students can learn more in just one year. So Li Xiaoru can't even squeeze out the time to work.

The professor is also a pianist, Li Xiaoru didn't know her name before, she is more famous in the United States. According to the schedule, Li Xiaoru goes to her office at least twice a week to report and receive personal instruction from her professor.

The professor is busier than Mr. Martin, so busy that he can't even manage his own studies, let alone a foreign exchange student?

She spends two-thirds of a month running outside, participating in various performances, or going in and out of other celebrity occasions, Li Xiaoru has been in the United States for almost half a year, and the number of times she has met her can be counted on five fingers. And probably because she is used to seeing all kinds of super awesome pianists in her career as a professor of music art, no matter how good the piano playing is for the students, she will not laugh or praise it, and her personality is a little cold. But if she doesn't play well, or if she makes a slight mistake, then it's a cup, and she will definitely tell the students very coldly that they will come back to her after they have practiced, so as not to waste each other's time.

Li Xiaoru was a fledgling, she encountered this situation twice, she was frightened and modest and immediately re-practiced, the problem is that when she went back to practice, and saw the professor again, it was already a month later, and the professor completely forgot about her person and her affairs.

There is nothing wrong with the professor's teaching method, she didn't deliberately give Li Xiaoru small shoes to wear, other students also came like this, she didn't favor anyone, and even arranged two rare small performance opportunities for Li Xiaoru with a caring nature, but the response was mediocre, not that Li Xiaoru was not good enough, but that the masters here are like clouds - waiting for an elevator, going to the toilet, looking up and bowing, you can meet world-famous musicians. Li Xiaoru is not famous, and she has no background, so she is naturally unknown.

Li Xiaoru's freshness and excitement when she first came to a prestigious school have disappeared, and after the blow of the two performances, her self-confidence has almost been eroded.

Moreover, she is a newcomer, she is not familiar with the place, there is a language communication barrier, there is no way to quickly integrate into the local culture, and there are Chinese students in the school, but these people are very rich, and she is not from the same world.

Coupled with the sense of panic caused by the financial dilemma, she can only practice desperately, practicing the piano every day until three o'clock in the morning before resting, getting up at seven o'clock in the morning and going to professional classes, so that if it continues, she will be as thin as firewood, and she and Bai Ying's slimming method is the same - tired.

She had never studied so hard in the dark, she felt that she had worked to the limit, but her efforts were still not enough, in fact, she didn't have to force herself to be like this, she could have completed a year of study relatively easily - as long as she passed, the school would not embarrass exchange students. After returning to China, she is still an excellent student, and with the experience of being an exchange student, she can also have a good future.

But she wasn't reconciled.

It was not easy for her to come to the United States - she spent all her family savings, used a friend's loan, stained her boyfriend's light, and finally slipped back? She didn't think of herself as a mediocre person.

She wants to get ahead!

On this day, Li Xiaoru, as usual, went to the teaching building on time to attend the professional class of the third year of the piano department.

The moment she walked into the classroom, she noticed that everyone had stopped what they were doing and looked at her, some of whom had never looked at her before. She felt very uncomfortable, and after she followed Liu Yan and became a well-known Internet celebrity, she often encountered similar scenes. But when she arrived in the United States, she had almost forgotten what it was like to be in the limelight.

She thought she had something on her face, and she touched it, but no. She looked down again, was she wearing the wrong clothes??

At this time, the teacher who taught this course walked in from outside, and when he saw Li Xiaoru, he was stunned for a moment, and asked her, "Are you the ensemble of the princess of the Han Dynasty?"
