"Yanran, I actually thought Teacher Wang genuinely wanted to let Lin Feng and the others off the hook... But it turns out... he's just finding new ways to give them a hard time!"
Hong Fangfang, the school beauty Qin Yanran's deskmate, pouted her lips and shook her head, "Reciting any part of 'The Assassination of King Qin by Jing Ke'? Not to mention Lin Feng and Zhang Zhen, those two poor-performing slackers. Yanran, even you... wouldn't be able to, right?"
"Ah? Me... This classical Chinese text isn't required memorization, I... Of course, I wouldn't know it by heart either!"
Qin Yanran was taken aback, but her frown deepened, she indignantly said on behalf of Lin Feng, "Isn't Teacher Wang deliberately making things difficult for Lin Feng?"
"Exactly! Yanran, Teacher Wang wants to establish an image of winning people over with virtue, and it just so happens that this time he's picked Lin Feng and Zhang Zhen as his targets. It's just their bad luck!"
