"That's great. We are going to review the contents of the first volume today. Since Ling Yun has memorized everything, let's start from the first chapter and let him recite it for us. Is that okay?"
When Wu Gaolang said this, his heart was filled with joy!
"Yes!" Other than Ling Yun, Cao Shanshan, Chai Hanlin and Zhang Dong, everyone else cheered loudly. Among them, Wei Tiangan almost broke his throat from shouting. He seemed to feel that this was not enough and even led the applause.
Once again, Cao Shanshan turned her head around. Her beautiful face was filled with a look of exasperation. She thought to herself, Ling Yun, do you know that you are the dumbest now? Memorized everything? Let's see how you're going to do it!
Ling Yun scratched his head in embarrassment when he heard the applause from the whole classroom. Why was it so difficult to keep a low profile?
"Ling Yun, don't be shy. Didn't you memorize everything? Don't worry and boldly recite it. The teachers and students all support you! "
Wu Gaolang knew that Ling Yun would not be able to memorize even a single paragraph. He was prepared to kick Ling Yun out of the class after he embarrassed himself.
Ling Yun scratched his head in embarrassment. "But … But I'm afraid that I don't have enough time …"
Yes, Ling Yun had read more than twenty pages. It would take at least an hour or two to memorize everything from Yuanmou Ren learning how to walk upright and use tools to the Hundred Schools of Thought Contend.
Many students snickered. Only now did he think of an excuse? Cao Shanshan gritted her teeth.
Cao Shanshan gritted her teeth in anger. Stop pretending! Professor Wu was obviously going to waste this lesson just to see you make a fool of yourself. Furthermore, the two History lessons in the afternoon were going to be one after the other!
Wei Tiangan, on the other hand, was gritting his teeth with a vicious look on his face. At this moment, he could no longer hold it in and turned his head around. A disdainful smile appeared on his face. Ling Yun had stepped on him in front of so many people last night. Naturally, he hated Ling Yun to the bone!
The smile on Wu Gaolang's face could no longer be contained. "Don't worry about that. Just treat it as a lesson for everyone. Speaking of which, the teachers and students should thank you for your help." Wu Gaolang said with a smug smile.
Ling Yun thought for a while and nodded his head helplessly. It was not a bad idea to use this method to ease the tension between the students.
"Alright."
Just as he was about to start reciting, Wu Gaolang smirked and said, "Student Ling Yun, if you recite the text over there, many students will turn their heads to listen to you. Why don't you come up to the podium and recite it? That way, everyone will be able to see you and listen more attentively."
"Also, there are chairs on the podium. I've also prepared some tea for you. If you're tired, you can moisten your throat."
What he said was nice and considerate, but he was actually afraid that some students would play tricks and open the book for Ling Yun to read. That would not be slapping Ling Yun's face, but slapping himself.
He had a good plan. As long as Ling Yun could not recite it on the podium, he would let the students humiliate Ling Yun and make him flee the classroom in disgrace. Then, he would charge him with disrupting the class. That would solve the problem once and for all.
Ling Yun agreed with Wu Gaolang's suggestion. Gently pushing Zhang Dong away, Ling Yun got up and walked to the podium under everyone's gaze.
"You're about to die, yet you're still so calm …" Zhang Dong looked at Ling Yun's calm and composed back. His eyes were filled with pity, sympathy, and … admiration.
Ling Yun walked up to the podium and took a big gulp of Wu Gaolang's tea. Wu Gaolang could not help but roll his eyes at Ling Yun's action. He thought to himself that this cup should never be used again.
Ling Yun then moved the chair behind the podium towards the entrance of the classroom and sat on it steadily.
Wu Gaolang took the initiative to get off the podium and stood near the entrance of the classroom. He was waiting for Ling Yun to fail so that he could start a round of ridicule.
However, as a teacher, he still had to show some respect. He coughed lightly and said to the students in the room, "Students, Student Ling Yun is about to start reciting. Please take out the first volume of your history textbook and review with him."
This was purely a formality because no one believed that Ling Yun could really recite it. They were too lazy to rummage through the books.
Seeing Ling Yun walk up to the podium, Cao Shanshan could feel her heart beating faster. She was a little anxious and panicky.
"Zhang Ling … Zhang Ling, what should we do?" Cao Shanshan tugged at Zhang Ling's clothes and asked anxiously.
Zhang Ling was resting her chin on her hand, watching Ling Yun's performance with interest. Hearing Cao Shanshan's question, she couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean?"
"What else? Ling Yun is going to make a fool of himself in the next moment. How are we going to stop him?" Cao Shanshan looked at Zhang Ling and said.
"Stop him? Why should we stop him? He caused you to miss lunch. Don't you hate him to the core? "Zhang Ling giggled.
"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you now. I'm the class monitor after all. Ling Yun was bullied by Teacher Wu just because he stood up late for a while. How can I not do something about it?" Cao Shanshan's face turned red as she rebuked Ling Yun.
Zhang Ling's face was full of indifference. She turned to look at Ling Yun who was sitting on the podium and said softly, "Then go and do something about it. I have no choice. I still want to listen to Ling Yun recite the text …"
Cao Shanshan looked at Zhang Ling strangely. After a while, she said, "Listen to Ling Yun recite the text? Did your brain get squeezed by the door? It would be a miracle if he could even recite a paragraph! "
Zhang Ling turned her head and gave Cao Shanshan a coquettish look. She laughed softly and said, "Don't worry. Judging from Ling Yun's attitude this afternoon, Wu Gaolang will not be able to take advantage of him."
"You have that much confidence in him?" Cao Shanshan was getting more and more confused. Whose side was she on?
"Yes. Even though I don't know what his next move is, I have faith in him!" Zhang Ling said confidently.
Looking at Zhang Ling's expression and tone, Cao Shanshan suddenly felt a strange feeling in her heart. She felt a little … well, uncomfortable.
"Zhang Ling, don't tell me you've fallen in love with him?" Cao Shanshan blurted out.
"You're the one who likes him …" Zhang Ling pursed her lips and attacked her campus belle best friend.
"You! Fine, I was wrong. But why are you so confident in him? "Cao Shanshan could not be bothered to bicker with Zhang Ling.
"Intuition! It's a woman's intuition!" Zhang Ling replied casually.
Cao Shanshan rolled her eyes at Zhang Ling and could not be bothered with her anymore. At this moment, she suddenly felt a gaze directed at her. She immediately lowered her head.
"What's wrong with me?" When Ling Yun's gaze landed on her, she subconsciously avoided his gaze. Thinking back to how she had gotten angry at him for no reason in the afternoon, and now she was worried for him for no reason, her face suddenly felt hot and feverish.
Ling Yun's gaze swept across the classroom. Then, he swayed his fat body and found the most comfortable position to sit down. Then, he smiled brightly at Wu Gaolang.
"Shall I start then?"
Wu Gaolang nodded his head and thought to himself, "Hurry up and start. The sooner you embarrass yourself, the sooner you can get lost. I still want to talk about China's modern history!"
"Ahem …" Ling Yun cleared his throat. Ignoring the mocking comments from his classmates, he started to recite, "Lesson One …" Then, he started to recite according to his memory.
When Ling Yun first started, no one was paying attention to him. Everyone knew that he was deliberately stalling for time. The moment he started to recite, he would definitely be mocked by his classmates and be forced to leave the classroom.
However, when Ling Yun started to recite the original text word by word, everything changed.
After a minute, the mocking laughter in the classroom disappeared.
After three minutes, there was only the sound of books being flipped and the sound of pages being flipped.
After five minutes, Ling Yun had already recited close to a thousand words. There were no hiccups, no pauses, and no inconsistencies. He continued to recite according to his own rhythm.
For a liberal arts student, being able to recite was not a big deal. The problem was that Ling Yun had recited it word for word!
If one had not seen it with their own eyes, it would not have been a recitation, but a reading from the original text!
Zhang Dong's expression changed.
Chai Hanlin's expression changed.
Wei Tiangan's malicious, mocking smile froze on his face. Like an ugly statue, he sat there, dumbfounded.
Zhang Ling's expression changed.
Unbeknownst to her, Cao Shanshan had already raised her head to look at Ling Yun who was sitting steadily on the podium. Her beautiful eyes were wide open and her sexy lips formed an 'O' shape. Her face was filled with disbelief!
As for the history teacher, Wu Gaolang, his reaction was the most exaggerated. Originally, he was standing there with his arms crossed, waiting for Ling Yun to make a fool of himself.
Now, he was still standing there with his arms crossed. However, he was no longer looking at Ling Yun. His mouth was so wide that it could fit a duck's egg. The mockery and disdain in his eyes first turned into doubt, then disbelief, then shock. Finally, his eyes behind his gold-rimmed spectacles were filled with excitement and ecstasy.
Ling Yun sat there and continued to recite at a steady pace. He had a good grasp of the rhythm. He sped up the parts that needed to be fast and slowed down the parts that needed to be slow. Every word and sentence was like the beat of a drum, pounding into everyone's ears.
After reciting the first lesson, he proceeded to recite the second lesson.
Wu Gaolang's arms trembled uncontrollably. He was so excited that his legs were trembling.
The classroom was completely silent. Only the sound of Ling Yun reciting could be heard. Wu Gaolang carefully moved towards Chai Hanlin's desk, afraid that he would disturb Ling Yun's recitation.
He casually picked up Chai Hanlin's history textbook from his desk and flipped to the second lesson.
Yes! Yes! Every single word!
I've picked up a treasure!
