"Who doesn't know how to? Haha, who wouldn't…"
The language teacher repeated Zhou You's original words twice and said with a dark face,"Then get up and recite it for everyone.”
Everyone in the classroom held their breaths.
As expected, he had come!
The ultimate weapon of a language teacher was to memorize the text!
Only the best students could possibly memorize the entire text of a difficult text like the Biography of Qu Yuan…Most people could only memorize one or two passages at most.
All eyes shifted to Zhou You, and the students couldn't help but discuss.
"Why do you think Zhou You is looking for trouble? You must have angered the language teacher.”
"How could he possibly know how to recite it…"
"I asked him to memorize it because he doesn't know how to. Don't you know that the Chinese teacher is a very serious person?”
"Last month, someone was reprimanded by the Chinese teacher for failing to memorize the text. Sigh, this review class is going to be wasted again.”
Zhou You hadn't caused trouble in class for a while. Now that he had caused a commotion, people found it rather novel.
Their habitual mocking eyes were suddenly filled with anger. There were also some resentful gazes, thinking that traveling around had ruined their revision time...
"Hurry up and apologize. Don't waste everyone's time.”
"Hahahahaha, you're so talented, Zhou You. I'm laughing so hard that I'm fainting.”
Amid the heated discussion, Zhou You sighed and slowly stood up from his seat. He looked straight at the language teacher and said,""You won't find fault with me after I recite it?”
Picking faults?
The teacher almost choked from anger. Then, he sneered,"If you can, you can roll around in my class in the future!”
Zhou You felt a little helpless. Why didn't he believe him?
English was his weak point, especially his English essay. If he wanted to get a high score, it was unrealistic to rely on himself to memorize the text.
That was why he had seized the time to read the original English version of the Complete Works of shakespeare to cultivate his English writing skills.
Unfortunately, there would always be people looking for trouble…
Thinking of this, Zhou You didn't hide it anymore.
He put down the book in his hand and spoke slowly in front of the whole class and the serious gaze of the language teacher.
"Qu Yuan, named Ping, is the same surname as Chu.”
When the first sentence of Qu Yuan's Biography appeared, the class suddenly fell silent. The language teacher was also slightly stunned.
He actually knew the first sentence?
However, the whole class immediately understood. It was just the first sentence. It was very simple. Perhaps he had just secretly read a book.
He definitely wouldn't be able to recite a few sentences before revealing his true colors…
However, this thought had only surfaced for a few seconds when Zhou You's recitation continued,""Erudite, wise in governing chaos, proficient in rhetoric…"
Zhou You recited the opening chapter of the vast and grand Biography of Qu Yuan.
He closed his eyes quietly, as if he was taking a stroll in a courtyard. There was even an indescribable confidence and certainty in him.
" Qu Ping hated the king for not listening, for flattery and flattery to cover up the light, for evil songs to harm the public, and for the upright to not tolerate..."
When they heard him recite the most difficult paragraph, everyone finally could not sit still anymore!
How was this possible?
He actually memorized it…Even I don't know how to recite it!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The entire classroom was filled with the noise of books being flipped. Everyone immediately turned to that page and compared it to the text to see if Zhou You had memorized it wrong.
Every word!
There were also many people who craned their necks to see if Zhou You had cheated, or if he was holding a book in his hand…
However, they quickly reacted. Zhou You had his eyes closed. How could he have cheated?
The Chinese teacher's expression changed from black to shock, and from shock to a complicated expression."How could this be? Zhou You…he really knows how to recite?”
A bad student who was at the bottom of the class and a troublemaker who was reading other books in class could actually recite the difficult chapter that the teacher had prepared.
This fact made everyone feel dizzy.
What puzzled them even more was when exactly did Zhou You learn it…This didn't make sense.
However, the sound of reciting couldn't fool anyone.
Very soon, Zhou You had already recited the last part of the textbook's selection,'To be free from the filth of the world, to be like mud without dregs. If you want to pursue this ambition, you can compete with the sun and moon for glory.”
His tone was neutral, neither servile nor overbearing, and even carried a hint of coldness unique to young people!
All the students in the class were dumbstruck. They felt that something was wrong, but they could not tell.
There was only one thought in his mind. Am I dreaming?
When the language teacher heard Zhou You's words, his expression was frozen and he began to stutter.
"Uh, uh…Student Zhou You, it seems like you've been working hard in your studies recently. You actually know how to memorize such a difficult text like 'Qu Yuan's Biography and Excerps'. Ah…All of you should learn from Zhou You.”
The language teacher, who had always been orderly, did not know what she was talking about at this moment.
It was like a wife who had returned home in an aggressive manner to catch her husband in the act of adultery, only to find that her husband was hiding in the bedroom and meticulously preparing a three-year wedding anniversary gift. The awkwardness of that imposing manner was instantly dispelled.
Pa, pa, pa.
The people in the classroom reacted and started clapping.
Just as the applause was about to become even more enthusiastic, Zhou You did not stop. He took a deep breath and continued reciting.
"After Qu Yuan was defeated, Qin wanted to attack Qi. Qi and Chu Congqin…"
This unhurried recitation interrupted all the applause and the classroom fell silent again.
Everyone looked at each other.
What was he memorizing?
There was no such thing in the text.
On the podium, the language teacher's expression changed drastically, and her eyes widened in disbelief.
Could it be…Could it be…
At this moment, a student exclaimed,"This is the last paragraph of the historical records!"”
"The monarch is neither stupid nor wise, virtuous or unworthy. There is no one who does not want to be loyal to himself and elect virtuous people to assist him. However, the destruction of the country and the destruction of the family follow…"
This was loyalty in the face of national destruction.
"Qu Yuan went to the riverside, and was sent to the riverside to sing. He looks haggard and haggard…"
This was the helpless sorrow.
"After Qu Yuan's death, there were Song Yu, Tang Le, and Jing Cha in Chu…but none of them dared to remonstrate.”
This was the royal court of Chu State, which had come to an end after Qu Yuan's death.
Zhou You's slow recitation allowed this loyal minister who had carried countless heroic names in history, this famous piece of " Records of the Historian " that had been recited to the point of crying by many ancient texts, to unfold in full for the first time in the third year of high school.
That's right, Zhou You was reciting the full text of the Biography of Qu Yuan in the Records of the Historian.
Many people immediately took out their phones to search for the original text. When they realized that Zhou You had recited it word for word, their shock turned into confusion.
A student who was at the bottom of the learning pyramid had memorized the original version of the Records of the Historian, which even the best student gods could not recite…
The language teacher could no longer tell what she was feeling.
Happy? It didn't seem like it.
Guilt? He did not do anything overboard to Zhou You.
Unbelievable…Well, adults accepted reality faster than students.
He felt that the student standing not far away from him was no longer the incompetent student that countless teachers had described. Instead, he was a literary giant!
That's right, he was a literary giant!
How could a student who had just completed a memorization task in a hurry be able to do such a confident attitude and voice that was filled with emotion?!
In order to reach such a level of influence, Zhou You had to know it by heart and even have his own deep understanding!
But this…how was this possible?
Zhou You slowly opened his eyes as the entire classroom gasped. He calmly recited the last sentence of Qu Yuan's Biography.
"After that, Chu was weakened day by day and was destroyed by Qin in decades.”
Chu was destroyed, but the story of traveling around continued.
He quietly looked around. Those mocking gazes were now stunned. No one dared to look at him in the eye... There was even a trace of shame in their escape.
Finally, Zhou You met the language teacher's gaze and said,""Teacher, there should be no problem clapping now.”
He was neither servile nor overbearing, extremely arrogant!
Only then did the language teacher react and quickly stretched out her hand."Yes, big, everyone clap…"
Pa, pa, pa!
In the past 18 years, countless classrooms in hundreds of thousands of schools across the country had been filled with countless applause. It was admiration, encouragement, and praise...
This was the first time that he had received such thunderous applause that his hands had turned red from clapping!
At this moment, Zhou You was no longer the slacker that everyone laughed at.
Instead, he was a person who surpassed common sense. At least, in this text, he had trampled all the insufferably arrogant top students under his feet... He was a pioneer in learning that everyone could only look up to!
