Chapter 266 Shameless
Song Tingnan blushed. She did have this problem. Could it be that she had been hearing "Brother Nan" for too long? She felt like she was omnipotent and always wanted to meddle in everything.
Does she appear humble but actually harbor arrogance and distrust others? Don't we all dislike this side of ourselves?
"Smack!" Song Yanchu smacked her with a book. "What are you thinking about now? You're already amazing, and everyone needs you. It's just that this is a crucial time for you. Everything is fine at home, so you don't need to worry."
"Oh! I understand, Uncle!"
Song Yanchu did not believe that the psychological trauma caused by suffering was something that could not be revealed.
There's a popular saying: "Because I've been rained on, I always want to hold an umbrella for others." Later, the opposite saying emerged: "Because I've been rained on, I want to tear other people's umbrellas to shreds."
The same experience can lead to two completely different behavioral patterns and mindsets.
Is it the umbrella's fault, or the rain's fault? If everyone is doing well, then naturally there's no fault on their part.
Song Yanchu added fuel to the fire: "Tingnan, you know what 'being powerless' means, right? You should work hard now so that when everyone needs you in the future, you can confidently tell us, 'Don't worry, I'm here,' understand?"
"Yes, Uncle! I understand!" Song Tingnan finally came to his senses. There's a long road ahead, and he must strive for the future!
Sometimes, learning really does require some talent, and Tingnan's talent is certainly not lacking. Coupled with her dedication to studying, her grades naturally improved quickly.
Now she no longer only wanted to be number one in the grade; her goals were outside. She called Ms. Zuo, Zuo Jinyue, again, asking her to help collect some test papers and materials and send them over.
After Song Yanchu's guidance, Song Tingnan started pestering her teachers with questions she couldn't answer. Her science teachers were all afraid of her, especially the male physics teacher, who would come out of the restroom in shock: "Song Tingnan, what are you doing in the men's restroom?"
Song Tingnan said without batting an eye, "I've been waiting for you. I don't know how to do this problem. Could you please explain it to me?"
Teacher Cao said, "Let's go to the classroom or the office to discuss the questions!"
"Please explain it to me here. If I go to the classroom, there won't be a chance for me; there will be a whole bunch of people surrounding me."
"You..." Helpless, Teacher Cao had no choice but to explain the problem to a female student at the entrance of the men's restroom.
I heard that this story spread later and even helped him get professor-level benefits, which was quite an unexpected bonus.
During this time, a boy came to use the restroom, but Song Tingnan waved him off without a care, saying, "You go ahead and use the restroom, we'll talk."
Both Teacher Cao and the boy were speechless.
In her pursuit of knowledge, Song Tingnan became completely shameless, grabbing any teacher she could get her hands on and asking them questions. During lunchtime, she would first get the food for her target teacher, then "escort" the teacher into their office, set out the chair, open the lunchbox, and lay out the questions, saying, "Teacher, you can eat and explain at the same time, it won't interfere!"
The teacher was at a loss for words, wondering what to do. They could only do as instructed; the student's enthusiasm made them happy.
Having not seen Song Tingnan for a while, he remembered her and took the initiative to ask how her studies were going, if she had any questions, and if they could have a meal together.
Of course, Song Yanchu also deserves credit for this, because a teacher complained to her: "Teacher Song, I really admire your daughter Tingnan. I was explaining a problem to her, and she quietly ate the few pieces of meat in my lunchbox. You can't believe how clever she is."
Upon hearing this, Song Yan could only apologize. Back home, she asked Ting Nan, "Which teacher do you want to have dinner with tomorrow? I'll prepare some braised pork ribs for them; we can't just eat other people's food, can we?"
Song Tingnan quickly said, "Okay, that's great, Uncle. I don't know why, but I get hungry very quickly and crave meat lately."
How could I not be hungry? Getting up early, memorizing texts, doing morning exercises, and studying several subjects at the same time all take a toll on my physical and mental energy.
Song Yanchu reflected that since he started working, the meals at home had become somewhat perfunctory. Breakfast and lunch were eaten at the school cafeteria, and sometimes dinner was also packed from the cafeteria.
He thought this wouldn't do, since Tingnan was still growing, so when he got home from get off work in the evening, he would make a soup and some hearty dishes to have as a late-night snack or to take to lunch the next day.
If he was too busy, he would go to the restaurant where Ning Xueyan worked to get takeout and keep an eye on her while he was there. Anyway, the father and son weren't short of money, so they had to eat well, including the teachers who gave them lessons, so the teachers didn't mind Nan intercepting them anymore.
Teacher Song is now just an ordinary male teacher. He no longer avoids questions from male and female students, and there are times when students stop him to ask him questions.
He would call Ning Xueyan to help deliver food. After a while, Tingnan also encountered her, but Ning Xueyan always came and went in a hurry and didn't recognize 'Xiao Gao', so Tingnan didn't think about getting to know her again.
