PPS Chapter 30

Chapter 30: Xie Haoran

People tend to have an instinctive dislike for those who are late, but the young man at the door had such an innocent face that people couldn’t help but soften their hearts.

Even the somewhat stern upperclassman softened his tone.

“Why are you so late? Come in, no need to rush.”

“I’m sorry, everyone. Professor Li Ze had something he needed me for this afternoon, so I went there first. I didn’t expect to be talking until so late, delaying everyone’s time. I’m really sorry!” The young man’s words were tinged with sincerity and apology. He lightly brushed the dust off his body, all his movements inadvertently revealing a sense of composure and calmness, making him look like a young nobleman.

The brand-name clothes he wore also highlighted this fact.

He gently smoothed the hair on his forehead, the slightly messy look adding a touch of casualness and unrestraint. When he mentioned Professor Li Ze, a hint of imperceptible pride flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

The students’ eyes were full of curiosity and speculation. They knew Professor Li Ze’s status and prestige in the academy. He was famous in the industry, and the price of one of his paintings was beyond their reach.

They had heard that there were two amazing students in their year who had been internally selected as disciples by the two professors before even entering the school. They didn’t expect them to be in their class.

“Are you Xie Haoran?!” The upperclassman looked at the young man in surprise. They had heard that two students in this year were extremely talented and had been affirmed by the two professors even before entering the school.

They were initially unconvinced. A University never lacked geniuses, and they naturally all had their pride, but after seeing Xie Haoran’s paintings, they fell silent.

Completely convinced.

Being able to paint and understanding art are two different concepts. They could enter A University. Their technical skills were definitely beyond question, but the most common thing the teachers said was always “lacking soul.”

But regarding Xie Haoran’s paintings, everyone had to sigh.

“Aura.”

Xie Haoran’s paintings were like a clear spring, flowing outside the noisy world, with an indescribable aura and a touch to the depths of the soul. Each work seemed like a bridge for him to communicate with the world, and through the canvas, one could glimpse a universe that was both familiar and foreign.

“Yes, upperclassman, do you know me?”

“You guys are famous. You were taken by Professor Li Ze, and the other was taken by Professor Qin. This is a rare sight that hasn’t appeared in many years. Professor Li Ze hasn’t personally taught a student in many years, let alone Professor Qin. Both are incredibly picky. This year, both suddenly took in students. Isn’t that famous?” The upperclassman smiled, his eyes full of admiration as he looked at Xie Haoran.

Xie Haoran lowered his head a little embarrassed.

“Did you enter the school during the summer vacation to study with Professor Li?”

“Yes, but Professor Li is busy, so I’ve only seen him a few times.” Xie Haoran nodded. He was indeed called to the school by Professor Li Ze to study after receiving his admission notice.

“Yes, Professor Li is very busy. He’s even less visible recently with the art exhibition. Being able to see you a few times is already very good.” The upperclassman’s tone was a bit envious.

“Upperclassman, can I still run for class monitor now? I really want to get this opportunity.” Xie Haoran brought the topic back again.

He rushed over here specifically to run for class monitor.

“Yes, yes, you can come.” The upperclassman nodded repeatedly, giving him the position on the podium.

After this incident, Xie Haoran’s victory in becoming the class monitor was almost effortless, and everyone was convinced.

People have been accepted as personal disciples by the professor, what are they not convinced about?

“I just don’t know who Professor Qin took. Professor Qin’s vision is much higher, and his temper is also very strange,” Zhang Haoyu muttered to himself.

It was strange to say that Xie Haoran had already entered the school to study in advance, but the other person had not shown up, and even their name had not been spread.

If it were someone else, they would can’t wait to enter and study with Professor Qin as early as possible.

Could this be the confidence of a genius?!

Chu Zhaoyi didn’t pay attention to the situation here at all. He regained his senses midway and observed that it hadn’t ended yet, so he continued to daydream.
