Chapter 22: Stirring Secretly
The sound of this maintenance of the sunspot was extremely abrupt, and all the schoolchildren turned around in unison, looking at the handsome young scholar standing at the door in surprise, and guessing what he had to do with the pretending "Zhang Porridge".
Liu Chong had a vision that Xu Lang went and returned, and thought that it was the new master who came to see the final result of making things difficult for this stupid person. Although the new master spoke for Zhang Xifan again and again, which made him a little puzzled, if anyone told him that Xu Lang was sincerely defending this stupid person, Liu Chongyuan would not believe it if he was killed.
In this world, will there be a master who really likes stupid students?
It's a big joke!
Liu Chongyuan arched his hands and wanted to salute Xu Lang. At this moment, the hoarse voice of the brazen "stubborn stone" suddenly sounded behind him: "I'm done, I can memorize it." ”
The tone is calm and decisive, like a steady rock.
Liu Chongyuan was stunned.
The schoolchildren were stunned.
They didn't expect that this brazen person, who had tried his best to delay time, would actually take the initiative to end the procrastination and immediately start reciting the entire "Three Character Classic"?
Just stunned for a moment, they immediately became excited. They pricked up their ears, not wanting to miss a single word that "Zhang Porridge" spit out next.
Only Xu Lang was stunned, looking at Zhang Xifan, who was calm and indifferent, but a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face. He carried his hands with great interest and slowly paced towards Zhang Xifan.
"This little guy with a black face...... It's kind of interesting. ”
His muttering voice was almost inaudible. Only Liu Chongyuan, who was following closely behind him, could vaguely hear a rough idea, but he was shocked.
Could it be ...... What does Master Xu know?
The uneasiness in Liu Chongyuan's heart became stronger and stronger.
"Let's start reciting. Xu Lang looked at Kuroko gently, and nodded to signal that he could start reciting.
Seeing that the master was going to listen to his recitation in person, Kuroko couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He swallowed, grabbed the corners of his clothes with both hands, and then opened his mouth and slowly began to recite in his hoarse voice.
"At the beginning of people, nature is good, sex is similar, and Xi is far away......"
Kuroko closed her eyes and carried it without thinking. The words and sentences of the full text of the "Three Character Classic" firmly remembered in their minds were like fish that were awakened at night, as if only under the guidance of sunspots, they could find the only light.
So, they obediently "swam" out of Kuroko's mouth one by one.
As soon as Hei Zifu spoke, Liu Chongyuan's face immediately turned pale. The calm and unhurried tone in the voice of this "stubborn stone" became more and more familiar to him the more he listened.
Ordinary self, if you are completely familiar with an article, the tone when reciting it, except for the deliberately added "tone and frustration", is exactly the same as this stupid now!
Don't...... Could it be that he can really remember it?
Thinking of this terrible thought in his heart, Liu Chongyuan's face was bloodless. He listened to Kuroko's steady recitation in a daze, and even forgot to silently check whether his recitation was wrong.
He also thinks the same thing as the schoolchildren who are watching the excitement. Their expressions at this time were like ghosts, and no one would believe that this black-faced classmate who had no qualifications at all would completely shock him today!
“...... The play is useless, the abstinence is good, and it is advisable to work hard. Slowly spit out the last sentence of the "Three Character Classic", Kuroko's whole body relaxed, and the big stone that had been pressed on the bottom of his heart for two years was finally shattered, and his head was empty, as if he had flown out of the entire noisy earthly world. After a while, he lowered his head, stared at the closed textbook in the exam box in a daze, and was silent for a long time.
Once upon a time, his hatred for himself was all because of this book.
Now, he vaguely feels that his different school career will start from it.
Silence, deathly silence in the audience!
No one could have imagined that this "stubborn stone", which was still procrastinating and stumbling at the beginning, could take a look at the scroll and memorize the entire "Three Character Classic" word for word.
If it weren't for the black-looking Zhang Xifan who had planned all this in advance, then his memory would be really terrifying.
For a while, all the onlookers had strange faces and complicated eyes looking at the black-faced boy who was squatting in the field. As for the results of the recitation just now, no one dared to question it.
Liu Chongyuan came back from the loss of his soul, and when he saw that everyone else was staring at the "stubborn stone", he was both disappointed and happy.
Originally, the focus of everyone's attention belonged to them, but now they have been taken away by this Zhang Xifan...... But that's fine, and I'll be able to sneak away......
Thinking of this, he collected his lost thoughts and secretly moved to the gate of the courtyard.
"Ahem. Xu Lang coughed lightly, reminding Kuroko to wake up from his contemplation.
If you continue like this, Liu Chongyuan will slip away!
Xu Lang was secretly anxious, but he couldn't go too far. After all, his identity is the new master of this private school, and it is impossible to blindly favor someone.
"Ah, that ......" Kuroko came back to his senses, and when he looked up, he saw the back of Yanagi Taneyuan, who had slipped to the gate of the courtyard. He shouted to stop the pale, panicked Liu Chongyuan, but he didn't know how to carry out this bet.
Do you really want him to swallow a dirty, swarthy ink ingot?
It's going to kill you!
He suddenly won his first gambling contract, but he didn't know how to collect the gambling money. He scratched his head, so he had to look at Master Xu with a blank eye.
Seeing Kuroko looking at him, Xu Lang squeezed his eyes strangely at him. He naturally understood what this black-faced young man was distressed about, so his stubborn personality, which had been dormant for many years, suddenly revived at this moment.
He pulled the depressed Liu Chongyuan to his side, and then comforted the young man who shrugged his head like a defeated rooster: "Liu Chongyuan, in fact, it's nothing if you lose the bet......"
Liu Chongyuan raised his head in surprise and looked at Master Xu with tears in his eyes, as if he had suddenly seen his long-lost uncle.
The new master is more protective of me!
He thought smugly, and all the loss and sadness after losing the bet were swept away. He was about to bend down and salute to express his deep gratitude to Master Xu. The new master, who seemed to have a lot of "appreciation" for himself, said the next words like a bucket of cold water, and he was immediately drenched in dumbfounded and froze on the spot.
"Isn't it just devouring an ink ingot? It's hard to swallow, but it doesn't matter, the master has already helped you think of a good idea. ”
Xu Lang looked at Liu Chongyuan, whose face suddenly changed, and his handsome face was full of smiles after the prank succeeded: "It's hard to swallow dry food, let's cook it...... By the way, do you prefer to steam, stir-fry, or braise ink ingots?"
"Plop!" Liu Chongyuan rolled his eyes, and was directly stunned and fell to the ground.
