Capítulo 1264: Chapter 1249: Excluded
Ye Yinyin’s face suddenly showed an expression of anger as she stared at Song Yun and said, “My master is a great person, a legend.”
If someone not mainstream heard the last three words — a legend — they might think it’s an internet meme, like “Don’t idolize brother, brother is just a legend.” However, in Song Yun’s ears, the legend from Ye Yinyin’s mouth didn’t sound like an internet meme. It sounded more like… more like the kind of legend associated with things like the Azure Dragon and Kunpeng.
Could it be that Ye Yinyin’s master has indeed become a legend?
This thought suddenly popped into Song Yun’s head, but he quickly shook it off. He figured it was just a young girl’s admiration for her master. In this day and age, how easy is it to encounter a legend? It seems like the only legends he knows are the Azure Dragon and Kunpeng.
In fact, what Song Yun didn’t know is that Ye Yinyin’s master was more than just a legend.
“You guys don’t understand.”
Ye Yinyin shook her head to herself and didn’t say anything more.
“This student of mine is very smart, just that sometimes her way of thinking is a bit different from others.”
Old Tao, quite uncharacteristically, explained on behalf of Ye Yinyin.
“Hmm, she is indeed a bit different. Yinyin, what does your master do?” Song Yun asked.
Ye Yinyin was silent for a moment, looked at Song Yun, and asked, “What’s your name again?”
Song Yun decided never to bother with this woman who occasionally ignored or outright forgot about him.
Old Tao helplessly smiled.
Half an hour later,
Song Yun, Old Tao, and Ye Yinyin arrived at the building of the Chinese Department.
The building was impressively grand, more so than the Chinese Department building at Sunnan University.
“Did it serve any purpose to build such a huge building, Old Tao?” Song Yun asked, looking at the Chinese Department building.
“It was the intention of our former alumni, you know. After leaving Danfu University and venturing into the world, many became social elites. A lot of them were grateful and returned to build school buildings. This particular building was constructed by several alumni together. They wanted it this big, we couldn’t stop them, could we? It’s such a pity many of the classrooms remain empty.”
Old Tao’s words seemed helpless yet boastful, but Song Yun ignored them completely.
Guided by Old Tao, Song Yun arrived at the department director’s office, where they were received by the Chinese Department director, a rather scrawny old woman.
“Oh, so you’re the exchange student!”
The scrawny woman looked Song Yun up and down, like a shopper eyeing pig’s head meat at the market, before commenting, “You do look quite energetic. What’s your name again?”
Song Yun had lost count of how many times he was asked this question today, but kept smiling as he replied, “Director, my name is Song Yun.”
“Oh! Song Yun! Oh! Now I remember, they showed me your file the other day. Oh, my memory’s failing me.” The old woman laughed and tapped her head, then said, “Weren’t you supposed to arrive tomorrow? How come you’re here today?”
“Well, I had some matters to attend to, so I came a day early!” Song Yun explained.
“Oh, I heard that the students from Sunnan University this time are all elites?” The old woman had a smile that was not quite a smile.
Song Yun was puzzled by the woman’s demeanor but said politely, “We’re not exactly elites. The school sent us over to learn from yours and hopefully bring back some of your advanced experiences.”
“Haha, that’s what I thought.”
The old woman, despite not being from Shanghai, insisted on saying “Ala,” which made Song Yun’s skin crawl all over.
“Danfu University is a prestigious school nationwide!”
The old woman began praising Danfu University much like Old Tao had done earlier, albeit in the lab it was more of a jest. Old Tao mainly wanted to see Song Yun’s reaction and mentioned on the way that he was very satisfied with Song Yun’s performance, which is why he personally wanted to bring him over. In a foreign environment, one should never forget their roots.
However, this old woman was purely bragging about Danfu University. But since she wasn’t belittling Sunnan University, Song Yun listened indifferently. After all, she could talk all she wanted, and he could listen all he wanted.
After five full minutes of boasting, the old woman seemed to tire, and shifted the topic, saying, “We welcome students from Sunnan to come and study, but there’s an issue with your accommodation.”
“What issue?”
Song Yun asked.
“The dorms in our Chinese Department are full, so… you might have to room with students from other departments.” The old woman’s eyes darted as she spoke.
Song Yun immediately sensed that she wasn’t telling the truth. People often have such expressions when lying.
After a moment’s thought, Song Yun understood. As an exchange student, newly arrived, the institution was intent on setting an example by showing some assertiveness, creating an air of prestige. This way, he would approach his subsequent days in school with humility, avoiding any trouble.
Just as Song Yun was about to say something, Old Tao said, “No dorm? Nonsense. I remember there being several empty rooms in the Chinese Department dorm building!”
“Oh, Old Tao, those are reserved by the school!” the old woman said.
“Reserved by the school? How come I’ve never heard of this?”
Old Tao frowned, “It’s just one person, can’t you arrange something? How hard can it be?”
“Well…” The old woman hesitated, then said, “To be frank with you, Old Tao, in our department, some students have single rooms. Those rooms that seem empty are actually occupied.”
“Single rooms?”
Old Tao was taken aback, “Isn’t it at least three people to a room?”
“This was a decision from the principal. Those specific students are, well… you know.” The old woman blinked as she spoke.
“Another second generation!”
Old Tao said with wide eyes, “What’s going on, driving cars all over campus is one thing, now even living in single rooms? Are they still considered students?”
“Old Tao, don’t get angry, the principal did it for the good of our school.” The old woman consoled, “Plus, it’s not exactly how you said. It’s just that some students aren’t used to dorm living. We should be considerate.”
“Considerate? Hmph, university students should look like university students. What’s there to consider? No way, I’m going to talk to the principal! Song Yun, Yinyin, follow me!”
Old Tao declared and immediately left the department director’s office.
Song Yun and Ye Yinyin followed him silently, obviously, Old Tao seemed quite angry.
The principal’s office was reached quickly, where Old Tao swung the door wide open.
Inside, a middle-aged man was looking intently at something on the computer. Hearing the commotion at the door, he furrowed his brows and raised his head, saying, “No one taught you to knock?”
