Little One Tears the Villain’s Script

Teacher Tang, the Life Mentor (1)

Teacher Tang put together a set of old textbooks from previous years and gave it to Jiang Xiaoman.

They were all textbooks left by former students. Some had missing parts after being eaten by termites and had a musty smell, but it didn’t prevent Teacher Tang from cherishing them as if they were treasures. He even put them into a box, and occasionally took them out to bask under the sun whenever he had spare time.

Children who could afford to go to school didn’t lack such textbooks, but many children could not go to school. Teacher Tang thought that it would be a good thing if he could plant even one good seed by giving them these books.

The children in the first grade had learned around half of their curriculum. They had learned some basic knowledge as well as some reading and counting, but Jiang Xiaoman had not learned it yet and might not be able to keep up with them. Teacher Tang was not planning to make her catch up or even exceed them, but to enlighten her and keep her interested in learning.

Teacher Tang’s intention was for Jiang Xiaoman to develop the interest to enroll, not to force her to study. After all, she was still too young, and there was still some time until she reached the age of enrollment.

After handing her the textbook, Teacher Tang said, “I’ll find you a chair to sit outside the classroom and listen in. It’s fine if there’s something you don’t understand, you don’t have to force it, you can ask me any questions after class. Don’t be afraid of troubling me.”

Jiang Xiaoman was very happy. She jumped up and down a few times and grinned, “Thank you, Teacher Tang, thank you, Teacher Tang.”

The child enjoyed learning about new things and was inquisitive. Seeing her happy look, Teacher Tang couldn’t help smiling and rubbed her head, then went to prepare a chair for her.

After he left, Jiang Xiaoman excitedly opened the textbook and looked at it. After being confused for a while, she closed it, then opened it and looked at it again.

Grandma had praised her for being smart, Uncle had praised her for being smart, and Teacher Tang had also praised her for being smart. Even the system often said that she was the smartest and brightest host it had ever raised, and kept pushing her forward. Therefore, Jiang Xiaoman had always been proud of her IQ. She thought that she would understand this small textbook, but she never expected that…

Wuu wuu wuu! She actually couldn’t even read a few words!

She saw the words “points”, “candies” and “balance” the most, and among those, “balance” was the most sensitive one. She learned all of these naturally under the system’s influence.

Up until now, most of the knowledge she learned came from the system’s lessons. She liked to squat in front of the classroom door and learned a few words while looking at the blackboard, but her heart was also thinking about poking at the ant’s nest in the courtyard. With her mind divided like that, it would be weirder if she managed to learn properly.

Normally, she could quickly understand what the system taught her with its clear and logical explanations, but this was still the first time Jiang Xiaoman was seriously trying to learn how to read and write.

She looked dumbfoundedly at the textbooks and the empty notebook. Nothing that the teacher taught in the class entered her head, even though she usually liked to follow the teacher to study.

Jiang Xiaoman received a serious blow and burst into tears before leaving the school.

The system comforted her, “Host, learning needs to be done step by step. You can’t get fat in one feast. You haven’t even learned how to walk, so how could you start to run?”

“Do you mean that haste makes waste?”

“Well, something like that. Host, you’re currently still too young to go to school. Look at all the children in the classroom, aren’t they all older than you?”

Jiang Xiaoman looked at them carefully and found that it was true.

She said in confusion, “Then why did Teacher Tang want me to come to school now?”

The system said, “I don’t know. Our systems often cannot understand what humans are thinking.”
