Professor Lin Chien gazed at the students in the classroom once again and said slowly, "Of course, the definition of literature is not limited to the content we discussed today. Today, I will stop here. You can all go back and further contemplate how the concept of 'poeticization' can be applied to the definition of literature, and how you personally define literature. That's it for today's class, you may leave now."
As Professor Lin Chien finished speaking, the atmosphere in the classroom gradually changed. The students began packing up their books and notes, getting ready to leave. Professor Lin's lecture was not only an in-depth exploration of literature, but also seemed like an inspiration for the students' way of thinking.
Some students quickly packed their bags and hurriedly left the classroom, their steps brisk, clearly rushing to the next class. Meanwhile, other students gathered around Professor Lin Chien, showing great interest and curiosity in the professor's explanations, asking various questions in the hope of further understanding the mysteries of literature.
In this atmosphere, Jingxuan, Ruoxi, Cai Ying, and Xiao Ri also began organizing their study materials. Cai Ying remained seated, her notebook filled with dense notes, indicating her serious engagement with the earlier discussion. Xiao Ri, on the other hand, yawned, seeming somewhat confused by the previous discussion. She turned to Jingxuan and Ruoxi, saying, "Oh my goodness! I couldn't understand anything. Is that normal?" Her voice carried a hint of helplessness and bewilderment.
Ruoxi also responded somewhat helplessly, "Hey, I also feel like a fool. What's all this about poeticism and philosophical thoughts? What on earth is it?" Her voice was filled with doubt and confusion.
Jingxuan lightly chuckled upon hearing their conversation. Although she also felt somewhat puzzled, she was full of interest and curiosity in exploring literature. She said to the two of them, "Perhaps we need more time to digest and understand what the professor said. After all, literature is a profound field of study."
Cai Ying After hearing these words, she said somewhat teasingly, "Hey... when did Ruoxi stoop to the same level as Xiao Ri." Her words revealed a hint of humor, but also showed a desire for a deeper understanding of literature.
Xiao Ri lightly punched Cai Ying, and the playful scuffle between the two filled the classroom with a joyful atmosphere. Jingxuan and Ruoxi couldn't help but laugh as they watched their two roommates playfully interact. The friendship and understanding between them were unquestionably evident in that moment.
As everyone finished packing up, Ruoxi said to Xiao Ri: "Put in more effort! When Jingxuan and I return to the dorm tonight, we want to see Cai Ying in a non-human form." Her tone carried both humor and concern.
Xiao Ri, while struggling with Cai Ying, responded loudly: "Of course, I will do my best!" Her voice was full of youthful energy and joy, causing the surrounding classmates to glance and smile.
Jingxuan and Ruoxi left the classroom with quick but orderly steps, walking through the campus towards the direction of the General Education Building. In the process of finding the Z102 classroom, they walked through several corridors, turned a few corners, and ultimately found the classroom without being late.
Upon entering the classroom, they found that there weren't many students inside, only about ten to fifteen people. This number made the classroom appear more spacious and quiet. Each student had enough space to sit quietly, making the environment particularly comfortable and peaceful.
Jingxuan and Ruoxi found seats by the window and sat down, observing the layout of the classroom and the expressions of their classmates. Compared to the literature class just now, this general education class seemed more relaxed and free, forming a sharp contrast with the academic atmosphere just now.
As the class bell rang, the students in the classroom began to anticipate the professor's arrival. As time passed, the atmosphere in the classroom gradually became somewhat strange. The students began to whisper and speculate about what might have happened to the professor. Just then, a female professor hurriedly ran into the classroom, obviously just having rushed over.
Professor Chen Fengyu gasped for breath and said to the students, "Hi, everyone, I am Professor Chen Fengyu. I'm sorry for being a little late." Her words carried a hint of anxiety and apology, and her flustered appearance made the students find it somewhat amusing, but it also made the atmosphere more relaxed and friendly.
Professor Chen Fengyu seemed unaware of the students' reaction. She quickly adjusted her breathing and then said, "So, let's start with a brief self-introduction, shall we? We need to be quick because at 3:40, we have to take the school bus to town."
Upon hearing about this arrangement, the students immediately became excited, realizing that this class would have a different arrangement and experience. They began to introduce themselves briefly, and the classroom was filled with energy and anticipation.
When it was Ruoxi's turn to introduce herself, she appeared quite relaxed and at ease, giving a brief and interesting introduction. Shortly after, Jingxuan was called to the stage. She walked up to the platform somewhat nervously and took the microphone. Her voice was slightly trembling at the beginning, but soon stabilized.
Jingxuan briefly introduced her name and profession. When she mentioned that she used to be a dancer, the classroom suddenly became quiet, and all eyes were on her. Professor Chen Fengyu showed a look of surprise and curiosity, seeming particularly interested in Jingxuan's past.
"Why didn't you continue dancing?" the professor asked curiously. Jingxuan calmly replied, "I chose to give it up because of an injury," with a hint of regret in her voice.
The professor showed a look of regret after listening, then asked, "Will you still try to pursue a career in dance or related fields in the future?" Her question was filled with concern and anticipation.
