Chapter 45: The Rising Sun

"I didn't see it! However, we are so far away that we can't see it very clearly, and even if we come, we may not recognize it. Xiang Meichen also said.

"Please, let's hurry up and get to work! Otherwise, don't even think about sleeping tonight. Chu Ning looked up at the end of the entire stadium, and turned back to Virgin and Xiang Meichen.

"Anyway, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow and the weekend, I don't have to go to class......"

Although she was busy until late at night last night, Chu Ning woke up as usual this morning, and at school, her biological clock was very punctual, and she had almost no habit of sleeping lazy.

After freshening up, she did a few simple fitness exercises in the corridor of the dormitory, and then went to the cafeteria to take three servings and came back early, she put two of them on the bedside table of Fang Weizhen and Xiang Meichen respectively, and ate one first, and rushed to the piano room non-stop after eating.

Fortunately, the piano room was quiet, and she thought she could enjoy one alone.

Because she had been paying attention to Professor Zhang's retirement and his farewell party for the past few days, she was surprised to find that she hadn't come to practice for several days. Looking at the neatly arranged several guzhengs, she actually felt a little rusty, and it seemed that she couldn't be lazy in the future.

She sat down in front of a Nanmu zither and played a few scratches and finger shakes on the strings, and when the finger shakes slowly regained their proficiency, she opened the music sheet on the music rack and found a music score she liked more and practiced.

Time passed imperceptibly between her fingers, and when Chu Ning practiced this piece by heart, a very discordant voice interrupted her piano sound.

"Tsk, such a beautiful tune, it's really bad."

As soon as the words fell, Chu Ning raised his head and found that the door of the piano room was half-hidden for some time, and a tall man with an extraordinary bearing was frowning, holding his hands on his chest, and leaning against the door with his upper body tilted, looking at her with a look of pity.

Chu Ning felt that this person was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember for a while that in such a big campus in Wuyang, it was common for students to come to study around the age of thirty, so it was not surprising.

Chu Ning thought that he should be a senior senior! So he ignored this person and continued to practice.

"This classmate, this piano practice is absent-minded, don't you think it's a blasphemy against music?" It seemed that this person had been standing at the door for more than a moment and a half.

For this person's impolite wording, it didn't anger Chu Ning, she just stopped and replied without showing weakness:

"This senior, don't you think that standing at the door for a long time and eavesdropping on other people's practice is not only a blasphemy against music, but also disrespectful to me? Also, music is inspired by feelings, and how I play it is my business, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with seniors! ”

"Senior?" This person was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, presumably he was used to this situation, so the girl in front of him who looked weak and spoke aggressively aroused his great interest.

"Alas--, what a feeling!" He cleared his throat and said solemnly:

"To get back to the point, in fact, your fingering skills are quite proficient, and your playing skills are also good, so you should be preparing for the performance level, right?" Seeing Chu Ning looking at himself with wide eyes, the other party confirmed his guess, and said:

"But with your current state, it seems a bit difficult to break through."

"Why?"

"As far as you are concerned, your mental state is unstable, and your playing is sometimes distracted, in other words, your psychological quality is still a big gap, and it is difficult to reach a higher level." After this person finished speaking, he observed Chu Ning's reaction.

"This senior, my current psychological quality is very good." Chu Ning saw that the time for practice was almost up, so she got up and prepared to leave, she didn't plan to continue to spend it with this person.

"This classmate, may I ask which class you are in? In the future, if I have the opportunity, I may be able to give you special guidance. ”

"No need! I have professional teachers to guide me, and besides, you are only one or two years higher than me at most, at best, you are only qualified to be my senior, not enough to guide me, but--"

Chu Ning paused, turned back to this person and said: "It's okay to tell you, my name is Chu Ning, Chu of Storage, Condensation of Condensation, and I am a student of Class 2 (1) of the Guzheng major of the Department of Folk Music." "After saying that, I walked out of the piano room without looking back, and I still have a kind of pleasure after revenge on the 'megalomaniac) just now!

Regarding the episode between Jiang Xu and Chu Ning in the piano room, it didn't cause Chu Ning to care, she was so confused, in fact, as long as she thought about it a little, the person who appeared in the piano room in the early morning was Jiang Xu, the mentor who gave her rebirth in her music and life career in the future, I don't know how she would feel?

A new week has begun, according to the past practice, the second class should be Professor Zhang's class, because Professor Zhang has retired last week, so from today, it should be the newly appointed Professor Jiang Xu's class.

Chu Ning flipped through the books boringly to pass the time. Because the class bell has passed for 5 minutes, but I haven't seen Professor Jiang yet, it can be seen that this person's shelf is full.

Suddenly, her eyes were attracted by a person, the 'megalomaniac' senior she met in the piano room yesterday actually walked into the classroom with a big grin, and then calmly walked up to the podium, and glanced at every student present with a sunny face.

The classroom that had been whispering suddenly fell silent, and after a while, there were bursts of applause in the classroom, and it was obvious that most of the students knew the young and handsome person in front of them.

Most of the students in the audience seemed very excited, and only a few students couldn't figure out what was going on, so they were a little stunned. For example, Chu Ning's mouth is swelling into an 'O' shape at this time, and his eyes are as big as copper coins.

On the podium, although he was only a few years older than the students present, he had an invisible momentum, and the students all held their breath, waiting for him to introduce himself.

Could it be that this person is Professor Jiang Xu, who is newly hired by the school? The confused Chu Ning recalled the scene of meeting this person yesterday in his mind, and suddenly felt sweaty palms and a chill down his spine. She subconsciously held up the book with her hand and wanted to cover her face, but this move happened to be seen by the 'megalomaniacs' on the stage, and the 'megalomaniacs' looked at her with a smile and a smile, and then retracted her gaze with satisfaction.

"Hello students! I'm sure someone has already guessed my identity! The man cleared his throat and said:

"Let me briefly introduce to you, the contemptible surname Jiang, Jiang Xu, the rising sun of Xu, this year 29 years old, ancestral home in Tianjin, from today, starting from all the previous courses of Professor Zhang, the courses of other departments have been adjusted, such as the guqin and erhu majors that Professor Zhang has previously represented, will be replaced by other teachers, and the violin major and guzheng major will be replaced by me."

After the young Professor Jiang Xu reported his name, there was an uproar at the bottom, and the expressions of the students were different, some were discussing, some were full of admiration, and some were full of doubts, obviously for this young professor who was less than thirty years old, and at the same time the bishop of the Chinese folk music guzheng major and the Western musical instrument violin major had their own opinions, but they were obviously shocked by his sentence 'The sun rises in the east', no matter what, the one in front of them is Jiang Xu and Professor Jiang that everyone has been looking forward to for a long time.

Chu Ning's head was pressed even lower at this time, and she was about to hit the tabletop, but fortunately, the girl at the same table quietly pulled her sleeve to avoid the danger of her head colliding with the table.

"Five years ago, I had graduated from Wuyang with a master's degree, and served as a teaching assistant in the school for two years, Professor Zhang was my mentor back then, strictly speaking, I was your senior, three years ago because of personal reasons settled in Italy, this time I received the invitation of President Wuyang Yan and Professor Zhang, and returned to Wuyang to teach, mainly responsible for the Department of Music Education, the Department of Folk Music, and the Department of Composition and other majors, among which the violin and guzheng major of the Department of Folk Music are in charge of me, and I will have a lot of time to get along with the students in the future."

The students listened attentively to Mr. Jiang Xu's simple self-description, and for a while the teacher seemed very quiet, Jiang Xu nodded with satisfaction, and continued to speak:

"Maybe my teaching style will be a little different from my mentor--, that is, your old professor Zhang, but in the later relationship, the important thing is how we adapt to each other, which is also what I look forward to."

Jiang Xu's short and humorous speech ushered in bursts of applause! The students seemed to have been attracted to this young and talented new professor, and the rest of the class was a relaxing and enjoyable one......

A class was about to pass, and when there were five minutes left, Jiang Xu raised his hand and looked at his watch, then put down the book, glanced at the whole class, and said:

"Okay, students, there are five minutes left before the end of class, these five minutes will be left for you, if any students have any questions or are not suitable for my teaching method, please feel free to ask, I will try my best to adjust my teaching method."

After Jiang Xu's words were finished, there was another commotion in the classroom, they were discussing something with each other below, but no one asked questions, Jiang Xu waited calmly, as if he had already made up his mind about the questions that the students were going to ask.

"Teacher Jiang, can I ask questions outside of the classroom?" A bold classmate finally couldn't help but stand up and asked.

"As long as it's not too outrageous, I think I'll know it all." Jiang Xu said.

"Mr. Jiang, have you just come back from Italy? I didn't seem to see you at Professor Zhang's farewell party last week? ”

"Yes, I have been abroad all these years, I only came back from Italy yesterday, I came to Wuyang after getting off the plane, and then I have been with Professor Zhang!" Jiang Xu replied happily.

"You came back to teach Wuyang for a long time?"
