She Only Cares About Cultivation-Chapter 1096 - 904: Super Star 78 (4000)
When someone like Hua Yan, who has already become famous, starts university, it initially attracts certain attention, and whatever she does, people flock around her and point fingers.
But as time goes on, everyone gets used to it, especially after she shines during military training, with the title of Piano Department beauty falling on her shoulders.
However, she isn’t the school beauty; each department has its own distinct beauty, but Hua Yan’s looks are already outstanding. Since studying arts inherently comes with a certain charm, students are often selected from a large pool, even though the ratio is lower than at the Film Academy, it’s still not something that an average college can compare with.
Hua Yan stands out not only because of her own charisma but also carries an air of mystery, mainly because she lives alone and moves independently in the school. Her classmates observe her from a distance and find her too low-key, but she’s not distant. She’s very friendly, politely nodding and smiling at those around her, leaving a good impression.
As for the Piano Department, it’s known as her major, yet everyone is amazed that she’s always seen in the Composition Department classes as well, attending every class possible (since there are overlapping subjects between the two departments), never late, and more diligent than the students of that department themselves, which is quite remarkable.
Could it be that she plans for Dual Cultivation?
When curious classmates ask her about it, Hua Yan doesn’t appear ostentatious.
She just gives a slight smile, "It might not succeed, but I’m giving it a try because I’m really interested in composition too, and don’t want to give up on piano, so I can only study both together,"
These words stirred up complex feelings among the students around her since she’s young and already accomplished, yet still putting in such effort, while they, when there’s no class, either go out to play or eat without considering gaining more knowledge, freely spending the living expenses given by parents, unaware of pressure, and she is reportedly an orphan.
Reflecting on Hua Yan’s daily routine, it seems that apart from going to classes, she’s in the library, practice rooms, dormitory, dining hall, nowhere else spotted—such diligence surely leads to success?
Some were motivated, immediately putting away their playful minds, while others claimed Hua Yan was pretending, doing it all for the public eye.
Because of her presence, their Music College gained a lot of exposure, and to maintain her image, she works tirelessly.
Regarding such remarks, some dismiss them with a laugh, some shake their heads and sigh, others follow along with insults, yet no matter what others say behind her back, Hua Yan consistently perseveres in being herself, devoting to study, making it her sole activity in daily life.
Not only is she learning piano and composition outside of space, but inside she’s also studying the Four Arts, which is not fully in keeping with the secluded lifestyle, but she’s managing the rigorous scholarly path akin to ancient men’s pursuit of imperial examinations, thus her rich learning environment immerses her wholly.
Only on the weekends can she afford the right amount of relaxation.
During the two days of the weekend, she usually sets aside a day to film clips, sometimes shooting two, sometimes one.
Typically, by space that night, she edits the clips, and the week’s editing might span across a month or half a month for release. By sticking to this routine, she should be able to fulfill the annual quota by summer break; this constitutes the so-called reserves.
From editing, voice-over, subtitles, to music accompaniment, Hua Yan has become an expert and seasoned in these aspects, meaning her time available for idle becomes less and less.
Before she knew it, National Day vacation arrived, seven days she originally planned for shooting, but Molly invited her to H country for fun, not only buying her a ticket but also for Ning Hao, Ling Yao, and Duan Feifan.
"I remember you wrote some clips about going abroad before, come to H country and shoot, let me have some fun too, I’m afraid long times will make netizens forget me, come on come on, when you get here I’ll treat you to local snacks, consider it a break, since you study hard, your brain might go haywire, all of you study enthusiasts push me, a study slacker, to stay vigilant. For this meet-up, I’ve hurried completion of a month’s study workload, taking leave to accompany you all."
