Chapter 552: Younger Brothers and Sisters (2)
In the last minute, a contestant, panting heavily, rushed into the classroom. Upon seeing Qin Jiran, he clearly paused for a moment before hurriedly explaining, "Qin, Teacher Qin, sorry, I’m late, I, I..."
"One more minute, take your seat," Qin Jiran interrupted the contestant’s explanation and gestured for him to sit down.
The contestant was taken aback but soon revealed a smile of surprise, bowed to Qin Jiran, and quickly took his seat. The contestant sitting next to him immediately gave him a thumbs up, and the latecomer wore a grateful smile. He owed a debt of thanks to the friend who had texted him, or else he really would have been late.
After the last minute passed, two chairs were still empty, but Qin Jiran had no intention of waiting any longer. He stood up and said in his somewhat unique and indifferent voice, "I won’t bother introducing myself. Let’s start class. In a performance class, the most important thing is the ’act’ itself. Whether you are acting well or badly, you are still acting, whether it’s acting out a play or an entire lifetime’s worth of roles..."
Qin Jiran didn’t call roll and didn’t say another word about the two absent contestants; he simply composed himself and began the lesson. His reaction was clearly not what the audience had expected. The expressions of the contestants changed, some puzzled, some disappointed, and others understanding.
As for Qin Jiran, he was well aware of many things about many people, even without asking. He had reviewed each contestant’s file, not just once. He knew who had arrived and who hadn’t at a glance, so there was no need to ask. He wasn’t a real teacher and didn’t need to take responsibility for them.
Half an hour into the class, the remaining two students also finally arrived. The classroom was really just a large living room, so the two didn’t even need to knock; they simply faced Qin Jiran directly upon arriving.
