"I am deeply impressed and sincerely submit."
Look, even the guy who came up with the first couplet smiled and stepped back, it seems like Xiaofan passed another round.
"Just a humble effort." Seeing the other side giving way, Xiaofan naturally toned down the smile on his face.
"Hmph, just a commoner." Li Zihao said, clearly dissatisfied.
"If you're unhappy, try again, Tang Bohu was bold, I'm just carefree." Xiaofan wasn't shy about rebuking someone making sarcastic remarks.
"Hey hey hey, Ye Xiaofan, yes, keep going. Beat them to it."
Xiaofan's chants rose again, the previous couplet was simply masterful, very satisfying.
"Wow, what a talent, even brought out our mentor, Miss Cang. Knowing you for years, I never knew you had this skill. Truly impressive." Li Kuo was also immensely enjoying himself. He walked over to Xiaofan and even made a bow to show his admiration.
"Oh, come on, back in middle school, if you hadn't said you had something good to share with me, would I have nearly 500G of Tokyo Hot and site recommendations on my computer? If the memory wasn't what you gave me for free, I'd be broke buying this stuff." Xiaofan quipped with Li Kuo.
"Hey, hey, you rascal, how can you expose me like that? Good thing I have a girlfriend now, otherwise, my reputation would be ruined by you." Li Kuo said as he hurried back to his seat.
Back to business, there weren't many left on the other side, seize the moment, and take them all down.
"The first couplet is: The lonely soul on the cliff, the heartless willow gives shade. Ye Xiaofan, please..."
"Ahem... well, um..."
This was overconfidence, after laughing, Xiaofan's thoughts couldn't gather, a new first couplet suddenly came to mind, leaving him at a loss.
"A guest in the sea of suffering, idle time wasted." Liu Siyan indeed saved Xiaofan from embarrassment, immediately coming up with the matching couplet.
Xiaofan glanced over, giving a grateful smile. But the latter turned away, not lingering on Xiaofan at all.
"I can do another. Roaming only at the brothel, happily celebrating Qixi." Xiaofan continued with his mischievous response.
'Clap clap clap.' Applause followed, everyone seemed more excited for Xiaofan's couplet.
Only two people left, just come up with two more couplets, and tonight would be a blast, Xiaofan had also earned everyone's approval with his performance. Even if Liu Siyan still insisted on throwing him out then, she wouldn't have the same confidence. It seemed, Xiaofan was about to achieve success.
"I am Mo Yujiao, please be gentle, Classmate Ye."
"Oh, a beauty."
At that moment, one of the last two people, a girl stepped out, tall and graceful, standing there with a charming allure.
"Compared to your ideal Liu Siyan, I'm afraid there's a big difference."
"Ah, that's where you're wrong. People aren't comparable. Everyone can live their own life, why compare with others?" Xiaofan's expression was calm, without a hint of jest.
"Well said." Mo Yujiao chuckled softly.
"Hmm, earlier among the girls, you laughed the loudest, surely Classmate Mo is also someone straightforward."
"Phew, meeting too late is unfortunate, if it were years ago, we might have agreed to meet tonight by the willow, beside the pond, to delve into poetry together."
"If the intention's there, it's never too late."
Whoa, was he managing to flirt now? If Li San were here, he would surely once again admire Xiaofan's wordplay in courting.
Of course, this wasn't the real Xiaofan, as mentioned before, he always took relationships seriously, not flippant like this.
"Oh dear, you even dare to say that in front of Liu Siyan, really such a carefree person, please hear my couplet."
"Please."
"Why do feelings with you align, if you frown it's not concern but life with many troubles, you left me in solitude, helplessly I turn back."
"Wow, such strong emotions. This has to be a love poem." Li Kuo murmured from the side.
"Ye Xiaofan, match her, match her."
The crowd's jeering rose again.
"Stop, stop, let me think..." Xiaofan waved to stop everyone's jeers, then touched his forehead, appearing deep in thought. He looked up and glanced at Mo Yujiao.
Mo Yujiao calmly smiled at Xiaofan.
"The matching couplet is..."
Everyone held their breath, awaiting this guy's brilliant response.
"Let the heart ponder for you, treating dandruff and itching with Pantene, life's sorrows go with the wind, hand in hand we travel together..."
Pantene, really fits his style, but apart from the second line, the other three lines are very neat.
"Indeed a master, if it were as you said, what a pity, I already have a boyfriend." Mo Yujiao smiled helplessly.
"Don't worry, one line hasn't been matched yet." Xiaofan chuckled lightly "Let the heart ponder for you, treating dandruff and itching with Pantene, life's sorrows go with the wind, hand in hand we travel together. Whatever, even if the red apricot leans over the wall, it's still stylish."
Now, this last line precisely corresponds to Mo Yujiao's saying she's already taken, leaning over the wall, he dared to say it openly.
"Bravo."
Someone yelled and applause thundered right after.
Mo Yujiao blushed, smiled gently and slightly bowed: "I concede."
"You let me win."
Li Zihao watched the most talented girl in his club also concede, his face turned green with anger, and now, in this situation, whether the last person goes or not, it doesn't matter, the outcome is clear.
"Seeing through to the end, one last couplet, please guide me, Classmate Ye."
"You're welcome."
"First couplet, Yuxi encircles the Red Pagoda, a noble Yellow Mountain cloud rises."
"Hmm?" Xiaofan paused, this couplet seemed odd, nothing special, right?
"Xiaofan, Yuxi, Red Pagoda, Noble Yellow Mountain and Cloud are all cigarette brands." Li Kuo reminded from behind.
"Oh, I see. Then my matching couplet is: Zhenlong lies on White Sand, the Five Golden Flowers cherish China."
Also cigarettes, though Xiaofan doesn't smoke, he knows smokers around him.
"Impressive, West Wind Residence Golden Island, Wuliangye White Dry Jian Nan Chun." The other side seemed somewhat addicted.
"Now it's about alcohol." Xiaofan quickly replied: "Apricot Flower leans on Liuyang, a half-drunken drunkard lies on Maotai."
"Bravo."
Awesome match, Xiaofan's mind was completely relaxed. In an instant, he could come up with a perfect matching couplet.
This wasn't a contest anymore, it was a full-on personal showcase.
"Biluo Youlong Well, Ten Thousand Guanyin Robed in Red."
The third consecutive couplet, could Xiaofan come up with a match? Even though victory didn't matter anymore, everyone still hoped to see this guy's brilliant match, as he was indeed a one-in-a-million talent.
