Summer mornings have already warmed up a bit. For the students of Kassel College, although most people do not have the habit of staying in bed, if the first class is a class like "Tai Chi", everyone will often be late.
Susie tied up her hair and put on sportswear and walked into the physical fitness classroom where the sunlight made the fine dust stand out.
This is the classroom for the course "Tai Chi".
Although Susie's grades in high school did not improve because of her dragon blood, her physical fitness was enough to become a female athlete across the country and even the world. This may be related to the bias of her blood. Not all mixed races are intellectually and physically strong.
Completely shocking to ordinary people.
When she walked into the classroom, someone was already there.
The empty large classroom was more like a warehouse. The wooden floor extended to the innermost part. A shirtless black-haired boy was holding a wooden knife in his hand and slashing the air in front of him.
Sweat fell from the black hair on his forehead. The young man did not blink, focusing on swinging the knife, as if there was a huge old enemy in front of him.
Susie blushed. She thought she was already the earliest one to arrive. There was still half an hour before class started. She woke up early in the morning, so she might as well come to the classroom for morning exercises.
Unexpectedly, Chu Zihang came earlier than her.
Then Susie stood leaning against the door of the classroom for a long time without making any movement or making any sound.
Chu Zihang put away the wooden knife, took out two towels from the bag on the side, wiped the sweat with one and wiped the floor with him, cleaned everything up, and acted like a precise robot.
"Susie, why don't you go in?" Xia Xian appeared at the door of the classroom yawning and patted Susie who was still in a daze. Then he followed his eyes and saw Chu Zihang who had put on short sleeves and shook his head.
, "As expected, I came here again early in the morning. You worked so hard."
"Susie, do you know that the most painful thing in the world is not meeting someone better than you, but that someone better than you works harder than you." Xia Xian sighed.
Susie asked curiously: "Why is he practicing kendo here in the Tai Chi class?"
"I've been coming here every day since I entered school." Xia Xian said with a smile, "Let me tell you quietly, Chu Zihang also has a knife called 'Murasame'. Maybe he is still a killer with a few lives on his hands, but
I asked if it was true, but he refused to tell me."
At this time, as the students in class poured into the physical fitness classroom one after another, the chat between the two ended.
Xia Xian walked to Chu Zihang and said, "I think this girl Su Qian likes you a little bit."
Chu Zihang glanced at him and said nothing.
Xia Xian punched him and said angrily: "You don't mean to say that there have been many girls who have liked you since you were young. You can feel each one early, but just don't respond." If every girl likes you, you can feel it early.
How tired should I be if I have to respond to all my personal likes?'...You wouldn't say this, would you?"
Sometimes, Xia Xian really wanted to punch Chu Zihang in the face. Just like when he and Xia Mi observed Chu Zihang in the dark a few years ago, he felt that this man was really boring, but...
It is this characteristic that makes people both love and hate it.
"Don't talk about girls like that in private." Chu Zihang said lightly, "It's not polite."
Xia Xian was completely at a loss.
No one expected that the Tai Chi class at Kassel College would be taught by a black teacher.
The young professor who introduced himself as "Abigail" was wearing a white Tang suit, which made his skin so dark and reflective that it reflected light. He smiled and spoke fluent Chinese:
"You must all be wondering why Chinese Tai Chi is taught by a teacher like me. But I can tell you with confidence that among the professors in the entire college, I can definitely be ranked among the top five in terms of understanding of Chinese civilization.
.”
"Tai Chi combines the essence of traditional Chinese Confucianism and Taoist philosophy, combined with the changes in Yin and Yang and the Five Elements of Yi Xue, traditional Chinese medicine meridian science, and ancient Daoyin and Breathing techniques to form a kind of internal and external training that is soft, slow, and light.
, traditional Chinese boxing skills that combine hardness and softness." Abigail spoke in front of the students in a slow and steady manner, "In the academy, many students and teachers are keen on studying ancient Chinese martial arts, including some extremely lethal ones.
Boxing skills, such as Bajiquan, of course, the academy also offers Bajiquan courses. If you are not interested in Taijiquan today, I have no objection to changing the course selection. I am very familiar with the teacher who teaches Bajiquan."
"I saw several Chinese faces."
Abigail smiled and looked at Xia Xian, Chu Zihang and Su Qian in the queue.
"Based on the Chinese students I have taught in the past, there is a very interesting phenomenon. Although Tai Chi comes from China, very few of their young people have studied this course before college." There was no hint of doubt in his tone.
To tease is to simply state the facts.
"That handsome boy," Abigail pointed at Chu Zihang, "can you do Tai Chi?"
Chu Zihang was silent for a moment and said, "Yes."
Abigail had already prepared the answer of "no", and then followed this sentence and started talking about his experience of learning from a Tai Chi master when he went to China for exchange.
Chu Zihang's answer obviously stunned him.
"It seems that I have to change my stereotype of Chinese students." Abigail smiled, and then changed her tone, "But before that...the equally handsome boy next to me,
Will you?"
He was looking at Xia Xian.
Xia Xian smiled and replied loudly: "Go back to Professor Abigail, I can do it too."
He had watched Chu Zihang study in an interest class at Shilan Middle School. Although Xia Xian had not followed that class systematically, with his terrible learning ability, he could type after just watching it once.
"Then why do you still choose my class?" Abigail made a face. It could be seen that this young professor had indeed a good character and was not at all annoyed because of being slapped in the face twice.
"Because the Tai Chi we learn only has form and no intention." Susie suddenly raised her hand and said.
Abigail turned her head, looked at the black-haired girl, and said seriously: "It seems that I made a wise choice by not asking this beautiful lady if she knows Tai Chi."
These words made the students in the whole classroom laugh.
"But I still want to thank this beautiful lady for introducing me to the main content of my Tai Chi teaching." Abigail said with a smile, "Yes, in China today, performance and fitness have become adjectives for Tai Chi.
Grandpas and aunties in the park and some university courses perfectly solidify people’s views on Tai Chi.”
Abigail changed the subject.
"But what I want to tell you today is that Tai Chi is first of all a special martial art. It is a boxing, not a drill, and not a dance! Its core lies in 'jin' and 'four or two moves a thousand catties'. Mastering it is of great benefit to a mixed race."
It will be of great benefit to you in close combat."
After saying this, Abigail walked into the group of students and held Chu Zihang's and Xia Xian's hands respectively, "Two gentlemen, I invite you to come forward and demonstrate Tai Chi for everyone, okay?
"
Xia Xian and Chu Zihang looked at each other, then nodded together.
