"Sorry for the inconvenience, but your essay was so shockingly unconventional that our teachers, lacking expertise, couldn't provide a reasonable assessment. Therefore, we went out to consult with a wise master, and now we have finally reached a conclusion."
"So, how many points did I get?" asked Xiao Yi.
"Your 'essay,' consisting merely of two characters, captivated me with its recursive contemplation, as though encapsulating the entire universe! It's like rivers and seas—boundless and majestic—yet upon return, still just two simple words. Its intrinsic rhyme resonates as if 'three thousand characters written in small seal script cannot compare to the region south of the Yellow River,' endless in charm!
