Blair Road.

The atmosphere in the room was anxious, with swords drawn between Cavendish and West,

The two fought to "pursue" Lu Shi.

Natsume Soseki poked Lu Shi's waist with his elbow, and asked in a low voice, "What should we do now? Oxford or Cambridge, which one do you choose?"

This sounds a bit like accusing a scumbag.

Lu Shi blushed slightly,

To be or not to be, that is the question.

When he was in high school, he had seriously considered whether to go to Tsinghua University or Peking University.

result,

Of course I can't go to any of them!

I didn't expect that after time travel, there would be two awesome schools in front of me.

The most amazing thing is that it is not an honorary degree, but an honorary academician.

Lu Shi shook his head, and answered Natsume Soseki: "I'd better stay in London honestly. Neither Cambridge nor Oxford are suitable for me."

Natsume Soseki was taken aback for a moment, then showed an expression of admiration,

Anyone who refuses Niu Jian needs to show great determination, but Lu Shi behaved so lightly, it can be seen that his determination is far beyond comparison.

At least, Natsume Soseki thought he couldn't do it.

Lu Shi coughed lightly,

"Ahem..."

The eyes of Cavendish and West were immediately attracted.

Lu Shi said: "Mr. Chancellor, Mr. Vice President, thank you for your trust and love. But, sorry, I prefer to stay in London."

This answer was unexpected,

In addition to the two senior leaders of the school, the Dale father and daughter on the side also showed shocked expressions.

Or go to Oxford,

Or promise Cambridge,

It will be all right.

Is rejection an option?

West reacted first and said: "Didn't Mr. Lu admire Wilde? He once said, 'The major turning point in my life was when my father sent me to Oxford'. In Oxford, Mr. Lu will definitely realize his ideals. ambition."

Wilde's original words are "The two major turning points in my life were my father sent me to Oxford and society sent me to prison\

,"West deliberately didn't say the whole thing,

Otherwise, going to Oxford is like getting a pass to prison.

Lu Shi did not reveal it, but said, "Mr. West, I stayed in London because..."

Before the words fell, Cavendish on the side interjected:

"Is it because of this?"

He pointed to the magazines on the table—

"Punch".

West glanced at him with a slightly embarrassed expression, and explained: "Mr. Lu, Oxford teachers and students always have the right to express themselves, and Bridges is just...just..."

I don't know how to round up the words in the back.

The author of the criticism of "Roman Holiday" was Robert Bridges, who specialized in poetry creation and prosody at Oxford University.

This is a macho, was named poet laureate in 1913,

The title "laurel crown" originated from universities in the Middle Ages. When a student mastered grammar, rhetoric, and poetry, the school put a laurel crown on him to show that he had obtained a degree. Later, this title was used for students who had made remarkable achievements in poetry creation. people.

Of course Lu Shi didn't care about those criticisms.

He waved his hand,

"Mr. West, that's not what I meant."

His tone was very sincere.

West also felt that Lu Shi, whose works were as long as his body, would not be so small-minded.

But he still had to find a way to combat Cambridge's image in Lu Shi's mind.

Thinking of this, he searched the table and found a Cambridge magazine named "Cambridge Opera Magazine" after a while.

Cavendish's complexion suddenly changed,

"That...well..."

This faltering look is tantamount to telling everyone present that there is a problem with the magazine.

With confidence in mind, West quickly flipped through the magazine,

Suddenly, he stopped what he was doing.

"I didn't expect there to be an article by Mr. James, 'The success of "Roman Holiday" is not in the drama itself, but from outside the drama. The female lead is elegant, beautiful, pure, kind, and non-aggressive, which satisfies the public's desire for a princess." All the expectations of the image...', tsk tsk, the words are very sharp~"

Phyllis on the side blushed,

She was a little embarrassed, and peeked at Lu Shi with a slightly angry look.

Of course Lu Shi didn't notice the girl's gaze,

He's remembering who James is.

On the other side, West continued: "Mr. Lu is not annoyed, he is really a well-bred gentleman. But..."

Pausing slightly, he aimed at Cavendish,

"Mr. James is obviously good at ghost stories, so it's inappropriate to talk about drama."

Good at strange stories...

Lu Shi finally realized who this Mr. James was.

Montague Rhodes James, a biblical scholar, has served as the dean of King's College, Cambridge University and Eton College successively, and his masterpieces are "Room No. 13" and "Ash Tree".

But Lu Shi knew that he was because of Lovecraft, the father of Cthulhu,

Lovecraft was an admirer of James' works, and praised James' works as the pinnacle of the ghost story form in "Supernatural Horror in Literature".

Lu Shi said: "There is nothing wrong with James' evaluation. When I discussed the casting with the manager Mr. Linden, I thought that Princess Anne was a young woman full of youth and vigor. It would be very difficult for an actor in her thirties to play the role. Inconclusive."

Cavendish's eyes brightened slightly,

"If Mr. Lu is willing to come to Cambridge, he can communicate with James more, and you will definitely gain something."

Always be inviting.

Lu Shi sighed,

"Mr. Chancellor, I'm sorry."

Being rejected for the second time made Cavendish a little annoyed,

He said: "Sure enough, Mr. Lu is from China and has no similar experience, so he still can't treat literary criticism with a normal heart."

Half of these words are for the purpose of provoking generals,

The other half is the arrogance of the supervisor of Cambridge. This gold-lettered signboard has always been invincible. Why should a Chinese without a degree categorically refuse?

Lu Shi's brows twitched,

He also has a temper,

"Mr. Chancellor, from the very beginning, you and Vice-Principal West seem to be talking to yourself."

Cavendish was completely stunned, never expecting to be contradicted.

You know, he is not only the supervisor of Cambridge, but also a member of the House of Lords, a leader of the Conservative Party, and was even invited to be the prime minister.

It had been a long time since he had been confronted face to face.

As a result, Lu Shi is not over yet,

"Besides, what if I dislike Mr. James' criticism?"

The veins on Cavendish's forehead popped,

"Mr. Lu is telling the truth."

Unexpectedly, Lu Shi spread his hands,

"It's not the truth, I lied to you, I don't feel disgusted at all."

Cavendish: ? ? ?

Natsume Soseki:? ? ?

West:? ? ?

The house fell into an eerie silence, as if a needle could be heard.

Cavendish was stunned,

He even thought he had heard wrong.

Lu Shi laughed loudly,

"Mr. Chancellor, what do you think those criticisms are to me?"

As he spoke, he snorted coldly,

"I do not care."

Very domineering.

Cavendish knew that sitting here would be humiliating himself,

He got up suddenly, put on his bowler hat, pressed down the brim of the hat slowly, and said, "It seems that Mr. Lu doesn't think much of our Cambridge professors. In this case, you should be able to write better than Mr. James." work?"
