Jiang Yu smiled and said, “I didn’t find Xu Ye, and you can’t chase me away either.”
“Jiang Yu, how can you have the face to occupy this position?” Kang Xue said impatiently, “Do you know how precious all of our time is? We are different from idlers like you. We also have a lot of things to do.”
Jiang Yu asked doubtfully, “You say that I’m Idler, but aren’t you? We are all doing the same after-class task.”
Bessie also said, “That’s right. We are all doing the same task. Are you more noble than us?”
Kang Xue rolled her eyes and said, “Of course I’m more noble than you.”
“You really like to flatter yourself.” With so many people present, Bessie was too embarrassed to curse, so she only said this sentence.
She had learned this sentence from Jiang Yu. It probably meant that some people were too confident in themselves and always liked to raise their own status.
In Bessie’s eyes, Kang Xue was this kind of person.
When Kang Xue heard Bessie say this about her, she was instantly furious. She stood up and said, “You guys aren’t willing to give in, right? Alright, I’ll go find Professor Karl now and ask him to judge for me!”
As she spoke, she ran to Professor Karl’s office and told him how Jiang Yu had bullied her in the piano room.
When she spoke, she was still pretending to cry, so she spoke intermittently. Professor Karl did not understand a few sentences at all.
He only vaguely heard “Jiang Yu”and “Piano room.” When he saw Kang Xue crying so sadly, he thought something had happened to Jiang Yu in the piano room, so he rushed over anxiously.
But when he arrived, he saw more than a dozen people blocking the door. Jiang Yu was sitting peacefully in front of the piano in the room, and the expression on her face was not very good.
Professor Karl did not have time to react to what had happened.
He squeezed into the room and asked loudly, “What exactly happened?”
Kang Xue followed behind him and came over to tell him that Jiang Yu had stayed in the piano room for the whole morning and was not willing to give up the piano room to him.
Kang Xue looked really aggrieved, she said, “Professor Karl, don’t you think that Jiang Yu has gone too far? She has already stayed here for the whole morning. Can’t she give up the piano room in the afternoon?”
Professor Karl said, “But the piano room is public. Whoever wants to practice the piano can do so. There is no such thing as who comes in the morning and who comes in the afternoon. If you all want to practice in the piano room, then divide the rooms. Jiang Yu is here, you are there.”
What he said was not favoring Jiang Yu, but it was true.
But the truth sounded to Kang Xue like Professor Karl was favoring Jiang Yu. The two even said the same thing.
Due to Professor Karl’s presence, Kang Xue did not dare to be too presumptuous, however, she still wanted to say everything that she wanted to say. “Professor Karl, by doing this, we will feel that you are favoring Jiang Yu. I am clearly more capable than her. Back in the international competition, although you did not agree with me, the other professors agreed with me and did not agree with Jiang Yu. Now, she used some unknown method to get in. Do you still have to be so biased towards her?”
Professor Karl paused and said, “Kang Xue, if I’m honest, your ability is inferior to Jiang Yu’s.”
His words were like a basin of cold water, pouring down on Kang Xue’s head.
She said in disbelief, “Impossible! My major is piano. Jiang Yu is just a self-taught student! How can I be inferior to her! Professor Larl, this is too unfair!”
When Professor Karl heard this, his heart tightened.
In fact, he could understand Kang Xue’s feelings. After all, no one wished to learn that something that they had studied for many years were nothing in the eyes of others, and they were even criticized as inferior to a self-taught student.
He sighed, “How about this? I have a way now. Kang Xue, your identity is an exchange student, and Jiang Yu has participated in the official exam, so her identity is an official student. The school plans to hold a ‘welcome party for freshmen’ on the weekend night a week later, especially for students like you. If you really think what I did was unfair, then compete with Jiang Yu at the welcome party. I will apply for a music room for you, and you can practice there.”
