Lin Shirou sat across from him and began to tell him the story of "The Rogue".
"This is a love poem from "The Book of Songs: Wei Feng". It tells the heroine's memories of her love life and her sadness after being abandoned by her husband..."
Lin Shirou lowered her head, her slender eyelashes glowed and trembled slightly under the light, and her plump lips opened and closed.
From beginning to end, she recited ancient poems in a calm and gentle tone, making it sound more like a girl telling love words in her ears.
It was like this before.
She would often take out a book of poetry and recite it softly in her ear when she had insomnia.
Paired with her tone of voice, it was very relaxing.
Sometimes Jiang Chen even joked that it would be okay to make a sleep aid video with Lin Shirou's voice.
"It's enough to give you a good night's sleep."
She answered this every time.
The music in the cafe is soothing and long, the sun shines through the glass window on the girl's book, and the sycamore leaves outside the house rustle.
Jiang Chen closed his eyes slightly and listened to her earnest explanation.
Perhaps because of her peers, Lin Shirou used the most commonly used vocabulary to explain, which was much better than the Chinese teacher who usually only dropped her book bag in class.
It would be great if the teacher who teaches Chinese is Lin Shirou. In this case, my grades will not be bad at all.
After listening to Lin Shirou finish talking about "Rogue", Jiang Chen couldn't help but complain secretly in his heart.
"Today's Chinese language college entrance examination pays more attention to students' analytical and understanding abilities, and often requires them to fill in appropriate words and sentences based on the context, so just relying on rote memorization is completely useless."
Lin Shirou finished explaining the whole poem, put down the book, and looked at Jiang Chen in front of her.
"Why don't you tell me about your understanding of this poem? Which sentence impresses you the most?"
Listening to lectures is one thing, speaking out your opinions is another.
From a modern perspective, this poem is nothing more than a girl describing her depression after being cheated by a scumbag.
Jiang Chen was somewhat sympathetic to the girl's plight.
After a long while, he shook his head and said.
"Why don't I listen to your opinion."
"Hmm... In my opinion, the highlight of this poem is the line 'The arrogance of a man can be said, but the arrogance of a woman cannot be said'."
When Jiang Chen heard this, he realized that this poem could indeed be regarded as a key poem in "The Gangster" and couldn't help but smile:
"My biggest impression of this poem is that you can't write wrong words, otherwise you won't get points."
"That's just the understanding of the question, not the original meaning."
"I see that many textbooks just follow the script, saying that in the relationship between men and women, men can easily withdraw, while women usually get stuck in it and cannot extricate themselves."
Lin Shirou raised her head slightly and looked at the sycamore tree outside the window.
"But I think that regardless of whether they are men or women, if they are betrayed, they will probably be deeply involved and unable to extricate themselves."
When Jiang Chen heard this, combined with his past memories, he felt a little touched in his heart.
Men have just been asked to be strong since they were young, so they won't behave as fiercely as women.
But the pain of betrayal is the same for everyone and is unforgettable.
"So can you understand the deeper meaning of this poem? This is not the heroine's self-pity for her own experience, but more of her anger at betrayal."
Lin Shirou pushed the book in front of Jiang Chen and said softly.
"Teaching cannot rely on me alone to perform a one-man show. It also requires your cooperation and understanding. Now is the time for you to feel this poem carefully."
"Read it several times and feel the heroine's joy and sorrow carefully. I believe you will memorize this poem quickly."
Jiang Chen took the book and began to read the poems on it.
To be honest, he has never been interested in Chinese.
This kind of subject has no fixed answers, and whether the answer is correct or not depends entirely on the mind of the person who asked the question. In Jiang Chen's view, he is making things difficult for me, Fat Tiger.
Even the father of the person who asked the question may not be able to guess the answer. How can I know what he is thinking?
But after hearing what Lin Shirou said, he couldn't help but become interested.
Picking up the Chinese language book, Jiang Chen began to recite in a low voice, feeling the feelings expressed in the words with his heart.
"Chi Chi, a gangster, hugs Bumaosi..."
Lin Shirou didn't say a word on the other side, quietly sipping her coffee. When she heard Jiang Chen reciting in a low voice, she would nod lightly from time to time.
Time passed by, and after some understanding, the ancient poems that Jiang Chen found difficult to memorize were no longer that difficult.
Even across time and space, Jiang Chen gradually felt empathy for the woman who wrote the poem.
After slowly reciting "Mang" in front of Lin Shirou, Lin Shirou randomly checked a few test questions for him.
Seeing that Jiang Chen answered all the questions word for word, he nodded slightly.
"Very good. He is indeed a top student. His understanding ability is indeed much better than that of my brother."
"Your brother?" Jiang Chen thought of the man sitting alone at the wedding banquet.
When the two got married, Lin Shirou's parents had already passed away.
There were no extra relatives in the Lin family. In the end, only one brother was left to attend his sister's wedding banquet.
Jiang Chen didn't have a very good impression of this only relative from his natal family.
Because after he drank too much at the wedding banquet, he seemed to be drunk and went crazy, pointing at Lin Shirou who was wearing a wedding dress and yelling at her.
She said that she killed their mother and wanted to pay life for life.
After scolding her, he hugged Jiang Chen and cried, saying that he was sorry for his sister and that she was acting like a mentally ill person, which almost caused the wedding banquet to break up.
"Yes, my brother. He was not good at Chinese and loved to play. He didn't have as strong a learning ability as you, so he only took two exams later."
Lin Shirou said slowly.
"If I'm like you, you should be able to enter Qingbei if you work hard. It's really amazing."
Jiang Chen was ashamed.
Jiang Chen might feel a little proud if he was praised by others.
But when Lin Shirou said this, it always felt like Tathagata Buddha praised Sun Wukong for being able to turn a thousand miles with a single somersault...
"No, no, no... I might fail the test this time..."
The midterm is around the corner, and even if he can keep his grades in mathematics and physics steady, the rest of Cora's problems have already become a fait accompli.
But Jiang Chen could accept it, it was just a mid-term exam, to use the words of those who took the postgraduate entrance examination in the previous life and were very willing to encourage him.
The world is undecided, and you and I are both dark horses.
"It doesn't matter. You are very smart and have a strong understanding. There are still nearly three hundred days until the college entrance examination. It will not be a problem to get into the university of your choice."
While Lin Shirou was encouraging, she made a fist with her right hand to show encouragement. However, her posture was not correct and her gesture looked more like the Lucky Cat on the cafe.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but laugh. Just when he was about to continue saying something, he heard a clear female voice coming from the door.
"Dad, let's take a rest here!"
The girl wearing a slim-fitting black pleated skirt was holding the door, looking at the middle-aged man parking the car outside the house and said loudly.
