Chapter 22 Characters of the Academy

Beautiful old New Haven, full of tall elm trees, where three beautiful, unmistakable rivers meet. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoHistoric buildings stand tall and reflect the city's rich heritage. If it weren't for some modern storefronts, as well as the existence of factories, commercial buildings, and emerging science and technology parks in the distance, Xu Canhao would have thought that he had returned to the period of great exploration. But when you walk into Yale's campus, there is no longer any sense of disharmony, and even the wind from the shops is full of nostalgia. Xu Canhao stood on the lawn of the campus's public sitting-out area with his arms wide open, letting the sunlight spread evenly throughout his body. After a long time, Xu Canhao slowly returned to reality, smiled and took a deep breath, and turned to walk towards Simpson who had not bothered him.

After sending Simpson away on the pretext of exercising himself, Xu Chanhao took the map to find the conservatory. After finding it, a senior took him through the enrollment procedures and signed the guardian (Simpson became his sponsor and guardian in the United States, and he was only 13 years old). Then, he was led to Professor Lee's office, which was the new student whom the professor had called to meet. The mixed-race senior named Moose obviously saw the way, and enthusiastically introduced Xu Canhao to some unwritten rules of the school building along the way. Although he couldn't guess Xu Canhao's age, and it was difficult to ask, it didn't prevent him from judging Xu Canhao's personality and knowledge from his words and deeds. The communication between the two gradually involved music, and he didn't care much about Xu Canhao's piano level, but his understanding and insight into music, as well as his bold creative musical thinking, made Moos's jaw drop.

When he arrived at the professor's office, the enthusiastic senior had already regarded Xu Canhao as a friend who could study, hugged him warmly, told him his address, and said goodbye and left. The professor smiled and said, "It seems that you made a good friend on the first day, and it seems that it is easier to fit in here than other Asians." Professor Leon Plandinger motioned for Xu Canhao to sit down.

"What do you think of here?" The professor asked with a smile.

"Nice, perfect, pretty. It is no wonder that so many great literati, business giants, and musicians were born here. Xu Canhao replied by looking at the photos of some celebrities he knew and didn't know hanging on the wall.

"Maybe you'll be one of them." The professor followed Xu Canhao's gaze and said.

Xu Canhao nodded noncommittally, in Western countries, he didn't need to carry too much Eastern etiquette dogma.

"I've seen the song you sent, and I've seen it to a few of my good friends, I hope you won't mind." Seeing that Xu Canhao shook his head and said that he didn't care: "I don't know how those Korean songs are, but just by looking at the score, I know that they are masterpieces, bold, innovative, and rigorously arranged, which is rare." I can't see that it was written by such a young child, and I love the song "freeloop", and so does my daughter. ”

"Thank you for the compliment." Xu Canhao sat up straight and said.

"No, no, no, it's not a boast, I'm telling the truth. If I'm not mistaken, you should have received several letters of intent at the same time, right? The professor said with a slight teasingness.

"Yes, Professor, but I chose our house anyway." Xu Canhao.

"Hehe, don't be so restrained children, we are an art academy here, not an economic and administrative classroom for those bad old men. I'm glad you made such a wise choice and believe you can succeed here. After speaking, the professor stood up and formally shook hands with Xu Canhao.

"Okay, if you have any questions or don't understand something in the future, you can come here and find me, and let Emma take you to your dormitory, it's a very good place!" The professor winked mischievously at Seo Chan-ho and opened the door for him.

Xu Canhao was led by the professor's assistant Emma to the elderly single-family villa. Hand Chan Ho a blue nameplate with the school emblem and a bunch of keys, and then leave. Xu Canhao dragged the gift box and looked at the building, which was very tasteful, this was the European-style residence he dreamed of. From the details of the wall, it is not difficult to see that although it has been painted, it cannot hide the ancient atmosphere inside. The wall on one side is covered with ivy, which makes the wall more mottled, and the old-fashioned windows and old-fashioned doorbells make Xu Canhao feel like he is in an old film movie.

Xu Canhao stepped up the steps, reached out and knocked on the pull tab on the door, and heard a crisp bell ring from behind the door. After two rings, the door was pushed open, and a boy wearing glasses and a top hat came out. "Hey, hello. Looks like you're our new roommate, welcome! Oh, my name is Charles Sfanson, you can call me Devon. Di Wen shook hands with Xu Canhao, took his backpack, and led him into the villa.

"Ah, the one over there is Vincent." On the right side of the door is the living room and dining room, and a thin boy in a red hat waives to the two while drinking milk. Diwen pointed at him and introduced him to Xu Canhao.

"What about the two who are playing the game, uh, what do you say? Ah, the elder brother with double eyelids and the younger brother with single eyelids, you will get used to it in the future. Di Wen put Xu Canhao's backpack in the corner, patted the two twins sitting on the sofa playing PS, and turned their faces one by one to identify Xu Canhao. This is the elder brother, we all call him duck (duck), the younger brother is called dk, the meaning of the dancing king, this kid is self-styled. Devin stood behind the two of them and introduced them one by one.

"Hello." After the brothers said hello to Xu Canhao, they turned their heads and went back to playing games.

"Oh, there's another one, the Chinese, upstairs. He's a nerd, but he plays the guitar well. Devon pointed to the ceiling, took two cans of beer from the table, and threw one to Xu Canhao.

Xu Canhao took it, put down the salute, introduced himself, and then went upstairs to choose a room. There are six rooms in the whole building, two downstairs, where twin brothers live. Everyone else lives upstairs, but Xu Canhao chose a room with a balcony facing southeast, so that he could soak up the sunshine in the beautiful scenery early in the morning. After a brief salute, I went downstairs.

"Oh, there, my name is Dick Young. Welcome to this big family! "As soon as I got downstairs, I met my Chinese roommate who was carrying a guitar and preparing to go out.

"Hi, hello, my name is Seo Chan-ho, Korean. I am proficient in Chinese, so let's use Chinese for communication in the future. (Chinese)" Xu Canhao smiled and stretched out his hand and said to this quiet-looking and handsome Chinese young man.

"Oh, it's so good, I finally met a guy who speaks Chinese, hello, it's really nice to meet you." Next time, I will take you to meet our fellow countrymen. I'm going to rush to class today, I'm sorry. Yang happily held Xu Canhao's hand, patted his arm again, smiled apologetically, and turned around and went out.

"Heyman, aren't you Korean, you speak Chinese so well?" Vincent, who was wearing a red hat, came over and put his arms around Xu Canhao's neck and said.

"guys, did I say I only speak English? I'm fluent in Chinese, English, Japanese, Thai, and a little French and German (I learned a little bit in high school), am I going to show off in front of you?! Xu Canhao puffed out his chest and said to a few people.

"Jesus, what a genius you are!" The twins turned their heads and said in surprise in unison, then turned their attention back to the television.

"Okay, our little genius, you're a freshman, so it's worth knowing some of the rules of this house. You see we're busy every day..."Xu Canhao looked at the people who played games, read magazines, and played computers, 'This is called busy!?' Well, to have the consciousness of a newcomer, yes, eon! Xu Canhao cheered himself up in his heart. "So, you make breakfast every day, clean the living room and kitchen three times a week, the flowers and plants in the yard, water once a week, prune once a month... Actually, it's not much, come on, boy! Di Wen patted Xu Canhao on the shoulder, finished the precautions like a rap, and returned to the computer.

Xu Canhao looked at the big lawn outside the window speechlessly, "Nima, it seems that a big house is not necessarily a good thing!" ’

"Oh, find your course on the school's website, open classes or something, there will be announcements on the website, arrange it yourself, that's all. Go play, enjoy your college life, go for it, kid! Wendi said to Xu Canhao without raising his head, grabbed the beer on the table and drank it all
