Wang Yan's recitation of "The Two Odes of the Expedition" was flawless, rhythmic, and eloquent.
Even Xie Xiaoxian, with her tendency to nitpick, couldn't find any fault.
After several seconds of silence, the class burst into thunderous applause, with the most enthusiastic clappers being Beiming Xue, Ouyang Feiting, and Ma Jun.
Of course, there were three who didn't clap: Xiong Jie, "Dead Fish Eyes," and the third was Xie Xiaoxian.
Xie Xiaoxian adjusted her black-framed glasses and, through the thick lenses, coldly stared at Wang Yan, thinking: What kind of student is this? He can recite The Two Odes of the Expedition? No, I can't let him off just because he recited these two pieces! It seems that it's not just Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting; even other female students' gazes at him are unusual. This student must be expelled. The Two Odes of the Expedition is still too easy, so I'll make him recite the third lesson. Even I can't recite this, let alone him.
