"It's clear to see, the Mandarin of our third female guest is quite standard, which is quite rare..." said the host with a poker face, a smile still lingering on his face.
"I feel the same," Liu Siyuan was the first to react and agree.
"Yes, yes, she has clear separation of her final-r and nasal sounds," chimed in Tong Na, following her husband's lead.
"Exactly, especially the pronunciation of 'ping' and 'pin'."
"Yes, yes, you noticed too."
The guests praised her out of habit.
Yu Ting felt a shiver running down her spine.
There really wasn't anything praiseworthy, so they praised her pronunciation...
When Yu Ting returned to her original spot, the host continued speaking.
"Your performances were spectacular, they truly brightened up the stage."
