"Ms. Lu Xue, it's been a long time. The last time we met was at an event abroad, right? I didn't expect you to return to the country so quietly. It's really heart - warming."
Saying this, Professor Li even pretended to wipe the moist tears from the corner of his eyes.
Lu Xue was a bit out of place in this environment. She scratched her head, made sure Yan Hua's figure had disappeared, and then carefully said, "Can I go back first?"
"You can't say that. How can you go back? Mr. Yan Hua went to so much trouble to bring you here. You definitely can't just leave like this."
Saying so, Professor Li pulled Lu Xue inside all the way.
When they reached the door of a classroom, Professor Li said excitedly, "I know that Ms. Lu Xue must be here to give our students a part - time course. I remember that a few years ago, our school wanted to hire you as a visiting professor with a generous salary. But at that time, you were abroad, far away and your whereabouts were uncertain, so you declined. This has always been a regret in my heart.
Since you've suddenly come to our school today, you can't just leave. How about giving our students a class?"
Professor Li pointed at several students in the classroom.
"They are the most outstanding students in our school. If you can give them a class, they will feel very honored."
Lu Xue scratched her head and felt a bit embarrassed for a moment. In her heart, she just hoped to leave quickly. She didn't know why Yan Hua had dragged her to this strange place early in the morning.
But unexpectedly, this old professor was an old acquaintance of hers. Since she was already here, it was hard to just leave.
Finally, unable to resist the old professor's enthusiasm, Lu Xue reluctantly agreed to give the students a class.
The old professor was overjoyed and immediately gave a pep - talk to his students.
In short, he said that the person who was going to give them a class later was a very amazing person, and he hoped that everyone would cherish this opportunity and ask any questions they had during the class.
All the students perked up and were determined to welcome this highly respected teacher.
But when they saw Lu Xue, they were all shocked. No one had expected that the teacher who was going to give them a class would be such a young girl.
After all, with the old professor's introduction before, their expectation of this teacher was a bearded, experienced and elderly artist.
A few students whispered to each other.
"How old do you think this girl is? She looks about the same age as us. I also think she should be our peer. Can someone so young be our teacher and give us a class?"
At first, the students had their own doubts, but when Lu Xue showed a few of her past works on the PPT during the class, the whole class finally fell silent.
Lu Xue was going to give a graffiti art class to everyone this time.
Considering the level of the students present, she couldn't go too deep. So she just talked about some basics, which counted as a proper end to the whole class.
When the class was over, she won a round of applause. Many students came up to ask her questions after class.
There were even many male students who were just making small talk, deliberately trying to get closer to this young girl.
At first, the topic was about the knowledge learned in this class. Later, the students curiously surrounded Lu Xue and started asking questions.
"Ms. Lu, how old are you this year? Do you have a boyfriend? When will you come to give us a class again? Are you a local? Do you live nearby?"
Several students also brought their notebooks and hoped that Lu Xue would sign on the blank pages.
Lu Xue was always a bit casual and never put on airs.
Since the students wanted her signature, she immediately ignored all the rules that Han Xiaolv had been nagging in her ear every day and signed her name boldly.
When it came to one student, the student flipped through his densely - written notebook for a long time, but couldn't find a blank page.
He embarrassedly flipped the notebook from the beginning to the end quickly, and finally found a space on the hard cardboard of the back cover. He looked at Lu Xue sincerely, hoping that she would sign for him.
Lu Xue's hand paused slightly as she seemed to remember that when this student was flipping through the notebook just now, there was a piece of content that looked very familiar to her.
She didn't think much of it when it flashed by, but now when she thought about it carefully, that familiar handwriting seemed to be...
Thinking this way, Lu Xue quickly flipped through the notebook again. Under the strange look of this student, she checked the content page by page.
When she checked one part, Lu Xue paused. Yes, it was this page.
This student had recorded a lot of painting techniques and written the name of the creator of the painting method in one place.
Lu Xue saw the name of the old artist she had been looking for.
