Chapter 1256 484: Romance in the Little Park!
"Shishi, since you also find it difficult, why don't you join this bet with us?"Lin Shishi hesitated slightly, then said, "Alright, since you think it's so tough, I'll bet with you!"
Zhang Jingdong, seeing Lin Shishi had fallen for it too, immediately said, "Okay, let's settle it like this: if I score first in the specialty, I win; if I don't, then you two win."
"If I win, you two have to agree to one punishment from me; if I lose, I'll accept one punishment from each of you, okay?"
Xiao Fei clapped joyfully, "No problem! It's settled!"
Lin Shishi also nodded in agreement.
Zhang Jingdong laughed cheerfully, "Let's go!"
About seven or eight minutes later, the three of them arrived at a small park.
At that time, there were so many couples in the park.
One reason was everyone was somewhat stressed with exams approaching.
Another reason was after exams, it would be vacation, and at the brink of parting, couples were naturally reluctant to separate.
As soon as the trio appeared, the atmosphere immediately sparked intense gossip fires wherever they went.
Some couples, previously engrossed in each other, transformed into campus paparazzi the moment they saw the three together, completely forgetting their own world.
After wandering around for quite a while, the three finally found a secluded spot near the Moon Viewing Pavilion.
There was a small stone table there, with just three seats beneath it.
And most impressively, moonlight passed through the pavilion, falling right onto the stone table.
Thus, at that moment, the three of them perfectly matched the line, "Raising a toast to invite the moon, becoming three men with the shadow" from the Poetry Immortal.
Unlike Li Bai, who was alone, Zhang Jingdong now had two school beauties accompanying him, feeling incredibly delighted.
Zhang Jingdong secretly enjoyed it for a while, then said, "It's rare that the three of us are at school together on a night with a bright moon and stunning scenery. Let's have a poetry duel to do justice to this spectacle, shall we?"
Xiao Fei sweetly replied, "Alright, I've been reading a lot of ancient poems lately to grasp Huaxia-style music better."
Lin Shishi, a fan of Li Qingzhao, was also interested upon hearing this, "Sure, let's take this opportunity to test you a little."
Zhang Jingdong saw the two agreed and promptly said, "Alright, let's use 'moon' as the keyword for our poems. I'll start: The vernal breeze has greened the southern shore again, when will the bright moon shine on me once more?"
Xiao Fei immediately continued, "The dew is white on this night, the moon is surely brighter back home."
Lin Shishi: "The bright moon shone between the pines, clear water flows over the stones."
Zhang Jingdong: "The wilderness open and the trees low beneath the sky, the clear river and the moon bring people closer."
…
The three ended up going for seventeen rounds straight.
It was at this point Xiao Fei finally faltered a bit, "Moon... moon... let me think... Oh, right, beacon fires last three months, a letter from home is worth gold."
Zhang Jingdong laughed, "You seem a bit off topic, huh?"
"How am I off topic? Just say if my 'moon' isn't the 'moon'!"
"Okay, considering it's your first mistake, I'll let this one slide. Shishi, are you still up for it?"
Lin Shishi gave Zhang Jingdong a glare, "In Chaoyang Palace the love is unsurpassed, in Penglai Palace the sun and moon last long... Your turn!"
Zhang Jingdong deliberately paused before responding, "The sky one color with a spotless sheen, solitary moon wheel shining in the night sky."
He then turned to Xiao Fei, "Xiao Fei, your turn!"
Xiao Fei thought for a while again and finally conceded with a crestfallen face, "Alright, I give up... Shishi, do your best, don't lose to him!"
Zhang Jingdong smirked, "Haha, one victory down, it's only a matter of time before I take over the central plains!"
"Shishi, your turn!"
Lin Shishi's eyes sharpened, "The lady of winter and moon goddess withstand the cold, in the moonlight and frost they compete for beauty."
Zhang Jingdong couldn't help but admire, "Indeed worthy of Li Qingzhao's protégé, amazing!"
"Let me think..."
Xiao Fei laughed mischievously, "Haha, Boss Zhang, you're running out of verses too, huh!"
"Who says that? I'm possessed by the Poetry Immortal, alright... East boats and west boats silently float, only seeing the autumn moon in the river's heart."
Xiao Fei hesitated, "Boss Zhang, did you just make up this poem on the spot? I've never heard this line before."
Zhang Jingdong chuckled and shook his head, "Xiao Fei senior, you're overpraising me. Though I'm full of talent, I don't quite match Bai Juyi's literary genius!"
"This line is from his 'Pipa Song', you can check it at the library if you don't believe me."
Xiao Fei's face turned red, then she looked at Lin Shishi, "Shishi, is he telling the truth?"
Lin Shishi nodded, "…Mm, but don't worry, I'll definitely beat him today."
"Tonight, the moon shines brightly for all to see, but whose home will bear the autumn thoughts?"
Zhang Jingdong: "Life naturally has foolish love, unrelated to the wind and moon."
The two unexpectedly went for another dozen rounds.
This time Zhang Jingdong felt for the first time a little mentally exhausted.
He couldn't help but sigh at Lin Shishi's prowess, realizing he couldn't defeat her even with the teachings of a master.
Just then, Lin Shishi suddenly said, "I... I can't think of another one. If you can come up with one more, you win!"
Zhang Jingdong's heart warmed instantly, and he quickly pondered.
Xiao Fei, seeing his troubled expression, immediately said, "I think Boss Zhang can't come up with another one either. You two went through thirty to forty rounds, I've never heard so many moon poems in my life. You two should call it a draw..."
Before she could finish, Zhang Jingdong said directly, "Clouds disperse, moonlight embellishes, sky and sea innately clear."
Xiao Fei was startled for a moment, then turned to Lin Shishi, "Shishi, is this poem real too?"
Lin Shishi, a mix of helplessness, surprise, and admiration, nodded, "Yes, and it's from a famous master."
"Who?"
"Su Shi."
Xiao Fei was thoroughly convinced, "Boss Zhang, you... you definitely live up to the men around us, truly unbeatable!"
Zhang Jingdong, despite being pleased internally, outwardly took on the air of a master of Chinese culture.
He smoothly took out the xun he always carried and began playing "Thousand Years of Wind and Elegance."
Lin Shishi and Xiao Fei were initially surprised, but soon they were captivated by Zhang Jingdong's god-level performance.
Along with tonight's unbeatable moonlit scene, they felt as if they had traveled back in ancient times, full of artistic atmosphere!
Not long after, Zhang Jingdong finished his performance and casually said, "Having not only won the poetry duel but also presented you with such a lovely piece just now, shouldn't you also express something?"
Xiao Fei instantly caught on and immediately began reviewing the knowledge points from "Gun Maintenance and Maintenance."
Zhang Jingdong then looked intently at Lin Shishi.
Lin Shishi had already studied this course last night, and after all, she had just lost.
Plus, given tonight's mood along with Zhang Jingdong's earlier godly performance...
She hesitated for a moment, but eventually followed suit.
Zhang Jingdong chuckled internally and then performed "Spring River Flower Moon Night."
Ah, what defines a talented, charismatic man? I'm the true essence of a dashing talent!
