"This is my profession."
"Would you like to go on stage and perform during tonight's show?"
This old black man is a bit slow-witted.
"Haha, no need to wait until evening. If you're free after class, you can come with us to Carlisle Academy."
The five of them found a seat at the back of the classroom and sat down. Upon hearing this, Li Shibai smiled.
Carlyle College is the second oldest college in Cambridge and also the most musically accomplished. Every student admitted to this college can play at least one instrument.
It boasts the finest choir and orchestra in all of Cambridge.
In addition, the college's gardens are among the most beautiful in all of England.
“I heard that the musical prodigy Olivia has been rehearsing at Carlisle Academy recently.”
Flora then interjected.
“Last year she went to China with the team for cultural exchange, and this year, after the exchange activities, Carlyle College called her back.”
"She's still so popular?"
"More than that, every time there is a rehearsal, many students and teachers from the university concert hall come to appreciate it."
"Let's go together after class. We might run into her. I've never actually met her before, what do you think?"
Flora's boyfriend nodded.
Lu Qingfeng barely caught the gist of what was being said, but he did remember one name: Olivia.
The class officially began, and everyone fell silent.
With Li Shibai and Senior Sister Meng assisting him, Lu Qingfeng listened to the class fairly well. The class mainly focused on law, the differences between East and West, and especially legal concepts.
In class, the elderly professor with completely white hair gave an example.
It refers to the fact that after World War II, the United States sent a team to try to establish a jury system in postwar Japan, but they failed.
Although Lu Qingfeng only partially understood what he heard due to the language barrier, he still felt that he had gained something from it.
After class, the group went to have lunch together.
This time, Lu Qingfeng ate at the Cambridge University canteen, and finally gained a concrete understanding of how terrible British food was.
Rice, potatoes, carrots, pork chops—the food was bland and tasteless. If it weren't for that spoonful of curry, Lu Qingfeng couldn't guarantee he could have eaten it.
During the meal, he also noticed something else: the students here were quite diligent.
Many people read books while eating.
Lu Qingfeng asked around and found out that it was because exam week was approaching.
It's pretty much the same as in China. The workload at prestigious universities is very heavy. The schedule is full from Monday to Saturday, with experiments, calculations, self-study, and writing papers... there's nothing easy about it.
Many top students even complete enough credits in advance and then go on to take the postgraduate and doctoral entrance exams.
The Cambridge postgraduate entrance exams are relatively easy if you pay your own way; the truly capable students are those who can get scholarships.
This reminded Lu Qingfeng of the "happy education" trend that was being promoted on the Chinese internet for a long time, and even now, people still imagine this kind of thing.
The truth is right before our eyes.
After dinner, Li Shibai lent two bicycles to Lu Qingfeng and Meng Jue, and then went to other colleges with Flora and Victor.
The dormitories and schools in Cambridge are some distance apart, so almost every student here is provided with a bicycle.
……
I arrived home last night, but the water heater was still broken, so I didn't replace it!
I'll take a break today, and start updating twice a day tomorrow!
"Aren't we going to Carlisle Academy? Why are we going this way?"
Lu Qingfeng and his group of five left Trinity College and rode bicycles into Cambridge.
The city is located on the edge of the Southfinde wetlands in England. A river runs through the city, making a large arc within the city and flowing northeast, so many bridges have been built across the river.
The Chinese translation, combining transliteration and interpretation, refers to it as Cambridge.
The city's history dates back to the time when Romans stationed troops there, and its medieval architecture and modern facilities coexist, making it a scenic spot in itself.
