Yu Qingshi’s Gift (3)
She suppressed the sad emotions and continued. “These exercise books were given by a friend of mine. He’s very attentive and wanted me to finish them all, but I might not be able to do all of them. If the other children can do them, I can share some with them.”
Jiang Xiaoman had always been willing to share the good stuff.
Teacher Tang had said more than once that there were not many books for the children here, and Jiang Xiaoman remembered it all.
“Good child.” Teacher Tang stroked her head and then picked a few books for her. “You can read these books. It’s fine even if you don’t understand them. If any of them interest you, you can come and ask me.”
Jiang Xiaoman left happily.
Previously, Teacher Tang taught her about give and take. She still didn’t know much about what it meant, but she felt that she understood it a little bit better now.
So this was give and take; you give something and receive something.
She gave Yu Qingshi good things, and Yu Qingshi also gave her good things.
They were really good friends!
At this moment, Jiang Xiaoman decided that Yu Qingshi was her best friend.
However, Yu Qingshi couldn’t maintain this number one position for long. When Jiang Xiaoman returned home from school and took the time to read the letter that Yu Qingshi wrote her, the number one position was taken back by the system.
System…The system was really moved.
Yu Qingshi gave her a lot of books, and she was pleased. But why, just why? They were both children, but he didn’t need to use pinyin to write letters. She really didn’t want to admit it, but there was no one else here anyway, so she could go ahead and say it!
In reality, even her writing in pinyin was written with the system’s help!
She thought she was already very smart and amazing. Was it possible that her little friend Yu Qingshi was even smarter and more amazing than her?
This made Jiang Xiaoman feel incredibly defeated.
After all, Jiang Xiaoman thought that she was smarter than Yu Qingshi.
He could be a smart kid, but if he was smarter than her, then she was not happy. This was her territory; she must be number one, she must be number one!
By the system’s own admission, she was clearly the smartest-est3 kid in the village! The system always told her that!
Jiang Xiaoman didn’t understand and brooded all night.
Jiang Xiumei felt that it was strange and thought that something happened at school. Perhaps she made some trouble there or fought with someone.
When she asked her, Jiang Xiaoman said nothing and just continued sulking by herself.
Even at dinner, she only ate a little before she went back to her room.
The system comforted her and said, “Host, Yu Qingshi entered school earlier than you. Naturally, he knows more words.”
Intelligence was something that needed to be developed. The development of Yu Qingshi’s brain was obviously more advanced than Xiaoman’s. And when it used to tell her that she was the smartest kid around… wasn’t that just to coax her?
According to its understanding of her, once she started flattening her mouth like that, she would definitely start crying.
It wanted to just casually comfort her, but the system also underestimated Xiaoman too much.
She was no longer that naïve kid that could be fooled easily anymore.
What it said meant that Yu Qingshi was smarter and more amazing than her, and also entered school earlier than her?
Jiang Xiaoman suddenly realized.
Wuu wuu wuu, the system had other little friends! It didn’t like her anymore; it didn’t love her anymore.
She flattened her mouth, and in just mere seconds, tears started falling from her eyes.
Jiang Xiaoman began to cry.
She was not the smartest child anymore. It was even more sorrowful than being called ugly.
The system had no choice but to say, “Host, intelligence can be developed. You are still very young, which means you still have a lot of potential to develop. As long as you work hard, you will be smarter than Yu Qingshi.”
“How do I work hard?”
“Uh… you can diligently learn more from Teacher Tang. Study hard and well, make progress every day, and you will surely become smarter.”
So that’s it. Jiang Xiaoman understood.
As long as she knew more words, she could be smarter than Yu Qingshi.
