Listening Comprehension: Real Questions from Wartime

Blurb:

Song Suxing is coolheaded and self-possessed, with judgment as precise as a machine and not a trace of unnecessary emotion, as if she were born to win.

She is an elite solo fighter, an ace, and the person everyone looks up to.

Fang Yufei has a difficult personality.

To Fang Yufei, her teacher Song Suxing is like a star. Just standing there makes people want to draw closer.

Using her status as Song Suxing's student, Fang Yufei resorted to every scheme and tactic she could think of, boldly provoking her until at last she plucked that lofty star from the sky.

Just when Fang Yufei thought they would go on like that forever, Song Suxing dumped her without warning.

No explanation, no chance to brace herself. It was the greatest failure of Fang Yufei's life.

After the breakup.

No one expected Fang Yufei, once the least ambitious of them all, to become the youngest and most celebrated tactical mastermind.

Meanwhile, Song Suxing, once hailed as an ace, was blinded while rescuing someone at the height of her fame. Her team threw her out like a piece of trash.

When news of Song Suxing's blindness reached Fang Yufei, she was taking apart her gear. She paused, then gave a soft laugh.

"She deserves it."

Later, a grueling competition spanning an entire continent began, and Song Suxing returned to the battlefield.

Fang Yufei had expected to enjoy the spectacle. Without the power that once let Song Suxing look down on the world, surely people would scorn and ridicule her.

She wanted to see her proud teacher lower her head, regret everything, and be trampled into the mud.

Until one day, she really did see Song Suxing standing in the shadows.

As people jeered at her, Song Suxing's lashes fluttered faintly, but she said nothing.

Fang Yufei watched in cold silence as Song Suxing's lashes cast a faint shadow beneath her eyes.

By the time Fang Yufei came to her senses, she had already knocked down the person who had spoken out of turn and crushed every one of their fingers beneath her foot.

"Who do you think you are, calling her 'blind'?"

Later, Fang Yufei pinned Song Suxing in a corner. Watching her teacher hold herself in check and stifle her voice, Fang Yufei leaned close to her ear.

"Teacher, you really deserve it."

Who told you to be so heartless, leaving without even a single explanation?

Who told you not to like me, not even to spare me a glance?

Who told you to throw away your own eyes for someone who was nothing to you?

So you deserve it.

You deserve to come back to me.

Later, Fang Yufei used her tactical genius to rebuild a throne atop the ruins, and once again stood above everyone with Song Suxing at her side.

She would make sure everyone knew:

A star is a star. It never falls into the dirt.

A dramatic, scheming tactical mastermind, indifferent in public but possessive in private, a darkened puppy-like top, Fang Yufei

A precise instrument, a cool and aloof ace, a self-possessed and restrained mentor bottom, Song Suxing
