Chapter 16 Chapter Fifteen

From the first day she entered Shanghai Foreign Language School, Mu Hongli always sat in the middle of the first row in any class.There is a law in the university, where you sit determines your grades in the university, this law may not apply to everyone, but in general it is almost the same.Today is an oral training class for Russian literary masterpieces. The lecturer is a very controversial young teacher at SISU. Mu Hongli was still sitting in the middle of the first row today, and there were still five or six minutes before class. She opened a small collection of essays by the seventeenth-century court poet Simeon Polotsky, reading with gusto.If you want to learn a foreign language well, it is a tormenting chore without enthusiasm.

The Russian Department has always been a department with a special status at SISU. Because the predecessor of SISU was the Shanghai Russian Language College, the subject of Russian Language and Literature is often called the cornerstone of SISU.Mu Hongli has been very popular since she was admitted to the Russian Department of SISU, because as a student of the Russian Department, she can speak fluent English, French and German, and almost all of them have reached the standard of regular translation. Type, strict family education, all the temperament that a lady should have in her body, but unfortunately she has been alone for three years in university, and no lucky one has become a real flower protector.

In fact, there is no recognized school beauty in universities, not to mention famous universities such as Peking University and Tsinghua University, even Shanghai Opera, Chinese Opera, and Beijing Film and Television. There are very few beauties who are convincing. In the era when an animal can desecrate the face of any female star, everyone's eyes are tired, and their tastes are much more tricky.However, although Mu Hongli dare not say that she is the beauty of the school, but no one in the Russian Department can shake her position as the number one beauty.Three years in college, plus the original three years of seniors, plus the later two years of juniors, she is as immovable as the ring master, and no heroine can knock her down from the ring.

Luo He, a lecturer with a baby face, looks very young. He has only been in SISU for less than two years. He is so young that he walks on the SISU campus like an ordinary college student, but he is a genuine doctoral student of Beijing Foreign Languages. He lectures Passionate, citing extensively, speaking fluent Russian.The first time he was on the podium, he recited Pushkin's "If Life Deceived You", with ups and downs, which made a group of beauties in the audience startled and screamed again and again.At that time, Mu Hongli was sitting in the first row, and it happened to be her first time attending Luo He's class. She had no feelings for this scandalous male teacher, and she clearly drew a line.

Luo He can always burst out with extra enthusiasm in the classroom where Mu Hongli appears, and the eyes that look at Mu Hongli are also implicitly mixed with cleverly concealed enthusiasm.In the office of the college, he had inquired about the background of Mu Hongli, a celebrity in the Russian Department. He was born in Nanjing, his parents were both officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and most of his family members were dedicated to diplomatic career. Although he was not famous, he was a well-deserved traditional scholarly family.Luo He thinks that Mu Hongli is the one in his life, but he is not stupefied, he knows how to proceed step by step, and after confirming that there are no competitors worthy of attention around Mu Hongli, he becomes calmer and calmer.He was in a good mood today. Basically, during the days when he was able to show his profound knowledge of Russian in front of Mu Hongli, Luo He felt a sense of satisfaction. The only flaw was probably that he saw a strange face in the back row of the classroom.Luo He keenly noticed that the male student's eyes would glance at Mu Hongli's direction from time to time. Luo He immediately determined that this was another suitor who was overreaching. He had a graceful way to deal with this kind of flies. They retreated.

Luo He is going to take Tolstoy under the knife today and give a lecture on two works of that writer.He made a joke first, and said in fluent Russian: "A Russian critic said that there was no such work in the entire nineteenth century. It is higher than that, because there is no fantasy, fiction, All the fabricated things are life itself. Students, please speak out if you know this work.” The strange student sitting at the back wrote it down on a white paper, and at almost the same time, Mu Hongli said to herself, "It's Tolstoy's." Luo He said with satisfaction: "Yes, that is. This work is the 'highest peak' among Tolstoy's three masterpieces. It is different from the majestic epic and the commotion under the waves of "Anna Karenina". , it is a compassion that is dying but not decaying. I read it very early, and I feel that Tolstoy is really great. To give the simplest example, there is a female character in his works called Maslova, who is a prostitute , but gives people a sense of holiness, while the images of holy women carefully crafted in most novels can only give people a sense of humbleness, which shows the gap between masters and ordinary writers.

"Reading, you must have the awareness to shed tears for the unfortunate. "As for the more than a thousand characters in it, all of them are lifelike. It is an encyclopedia. Understanding it is equivalent to understanding Russia at that time." ... Luo He began to talk eloquently, dismantling and reorganizing He and He, and expounding Tolstoy's writing skills and literary artistic conception through some comparisons. A class quickly flowed through Luo He's powerful explanation , There are only a few key words written on the blackboard. During get out of class, Luo He walked around the classroom a little bit, chatting with the students who adore him about some of the most popular topics nowadays, it seems that he is not pedantic and rigid, some girls also approached him very intimately, but the protagonist Mu Hongli was a little indifferent, Continue to enjoy the rare collection of court poets.After the class bell rang, Luo He glanced at the strange student who stood firm and smiled. Perseverance is a good thing, but the harder you work on the wrong path, the more you will digress. Next, he will call that "rival in love" who is not in the same order of magnitude. "Understand this profound truth.

Luo He fluently wrote a long string of Russian on the blackboard, then put down the chalk, clapped his hands, looked around, and said with a smile: "I'll find a classmate to read it and then translate it. Isn't it difficult?" In the end, Luo He unexpectedly "discovered" the boy in the back row corner, pointed and smiled meaningfully, "Let this classmate read aloud." Mu Hongli was keenly aware of a trace of conspiracy, and turned her head suddenly, only to see an absolutely unexpected face.The guy stood up honestly, scratched his head, and stopped talking.

Luo He smiled "friendly" in Russian: "Is there a word you are not familiar with, or is there a grammar problem?" The boy with no special appearance said in a voice that was neither timid nor justified: "I don't know how to speak." Of course he explained his predicament in Chinese. Luo He was not angry, and continued to speak calmly in beautiful Russian: "Then just say a word, this should not be too tricky request. I have never rejected foreign students who love Russian to attend, it should be said that they are very welcome , but if you're just trying to find a place to take a nap, I really can't think of any reason to convince myself that you should stay."

Mu Hongli looked astonished, because the guy standing there was the "blind" suitor of her younger brother's school, a boy who called himself Zhao Jiadi. She didn't know how he found the Russian language class in Shangwai, which made her feel very dramatic and fantasy.
