Wednesday's early self-study ended on a harmonious note.
Everyone began morning reading. The language teacher, Dai Yongquan, assigned classical Chinese text, requiring memorization and checked in class.
If they couldn't recite it, they would be punished by standing, which is embarrassing for high school students.
The students took advantage of the early self-study time to memorize the text. Liu Chuandao temporarily gave up catching thieves and instead recited: "In the northern sea, there is a fish, its name is Kun. Kun is so large..."
As he got to this point, he heard his deskmate, Pang Jiao, shouting louder than him with numerous decibels:
"The back of a Peng! How many thousands of miles is it? With anger it flies! Its wings resemble the clouds hanging in the sky!!!"
Her voice was so loud that Liu Chuandao was completely distracted and forgot where he left off.
Liu Chuandao glared at her angrily, but Pang Jiao, with her eyes closed while reciting, didn't notice his gaze.
