Mnemonic


[xu-] Professor X is [2] inside the [-an] pawn shop where he is bored at his part-time job. He uses his mental powers to lift a 且 bookshelf full of 心 hearts up to the ceiling, which he then 悬 suspends from the ceiling by attaching a sticky 厶 elbow to the shelf. All of the other workers stare at Professor X in 悬 suspended belief, unable to understand what they are seeing. A 且 bookshelf of priceless second-hand 心 hearts 悬 suspended from the ceiling by a single 厶 elbow, amazing!
