Chapter 69: The King of Memorization? (2/2)

“Teacher Li, I actually don't have any special technique! I have a strength that the others don't have which is an outstanding memory. I'm especially fast at memorizing things!” Yang Ming might just as well tell another lie.

“What? Memorizing?” Teacher Li frowned. Is this even a learning technique? But this technique seemed to be a really useful magic bullet for the exam.

Yang Ming noticed Teacher Li was dubious of his skill, so he decided to spice it up, “Teacher Li, if you don't believe me, you can pick a sentence from any book and let me read it one time. Afterward, I can recite it immediately!”

“En?” Teacher Li was interested once she heard it. Other teachers were looking at Yang Ming surprisingly too. They never expected that Yang Ming, an underachiever for three years, could have such an amazing skill!

“Really?” The language teacher was intrigued too. He simply picked up a Reader’s Digest and flipped a page, “Yang Ming, I have a magazine here. Look at this… En, this paragraph, starting from ‘I like how the spring brings everything back to life’!”

“Alright, let me read half of it!” Yang Ming took the Reader’s Digest and acted like he was reading it.

The essay was prose. It was not that long - only about a thousand words. Yang Ming read it out loud once, otherwise, he was afraid that he wouldn’t be smooth when he recited it.

After about ten minutes, Yang Ming returned the book to the language teacher. He said, “Alright, let me try!”

The teachers in the office were all standing behind the Reader’s Digest curiously - even Zhao Ying wasn't an exception!

“I like how the spring brings everything back to life, like the earth in the summer after a storm comes a calm, like the sadness that comes with golden autumn; I love to leave footprints in the snow in winter, hoping that I can walk with my dear man through spring, summer, autumn, and winter...” Yang Ming looked at the magazine cover and read it out loud his x-ray vision.

Yang Ming read the paragraph from the magazine but he purposely made a few mistakes in the middle section and omitted some auxiliary words.

Silence! The office was silent! All the teachers stared at Yang Ming with unbelievable eyes.

Yang Ming was satisfied with the effect he created! This was what he wanted! He could easily find an excuse, even if he had to cover up a more shocking performance.

“Teacher, how’s my recitation?” Yang Ming was the first to break the silence.
