Ms. Zhou held Tangtang, who was feeling unsettled and anxious. “Tangtang, say goodbye to your older brother.”

Tangtang was on the verge of tears. “Big Brother, goodbye.”

Ms. Zhou carried Tangtang into the VIP classroom.

Yu Jiaojiao sighed. Inexplicably, she pitied Tangtang for having to go to class with Gu Tingwei!

When she finally came back to her senses, she hurriedly shook her head: Her Wei Wei didn’t actually eat children!

*

In the VIP classroom, there had originally been only one table and chair set. But Ms. Zhou had ordered a new set in order to prepare for little Tangtang’s arrival.

The moment Gu Tingwei entered the classroom and saw the pink Hello Kitty table and chair set arranged closely to his black set, he immediately frowned.

At least it wasn’t for him!

Lifting his head, he glanced at Tangtang, who was being carried by Ms. Zhou.

The table and chair set was pink and delicate, very suitable for a small child.

Ms. Zhou placed Tangtang down on one of the Hello Kitty chairs. Then, she gently instructed, “Tangtang, sit here for a while. Teacher is going to prepare the lesson.”

The answers that Gu Tingwei had written on the blackboard the day before were still there. Ms. Zhou walked over to wipe the blackboard clean. Then, she drew a few cartoon characters with colored chalk before turning around to look at the children.

She saw… Gu Tingwei sitting as per usual. While Mo Tangtang—

With her bottom sticking out, the girl was struggling with all her might to drag her chair and desk over to the other side of the room, as if she were trying to distance herself from Gu Tingwei.

Ms. Zhou: “…”

“Tangtang, you don’t like Big Brother Wei?” Ms. Zhou asked.

Gah?

Tangtang suddenly froze, as if she’d turned to stone.

Then, after a long pause, she finally turned her head slowly and anxiously cast a glance at Gu Tingwei.

Just as she’d expected, Gu Tingwei was staring at her. His thoughts were transmitted to her via brainwaves—

“Does she like me?”

Tangtang immediately straightened up. With the same sincerity as someone taking a vow, she said, “I lite.”

She didn’t dare to dislike!

Ms. Zhou laughed.

Gu Tingwei was the most intelligent child she had ever taught. He was also the student she was most proud of.

To Gu Tingwei, an age-appropriate syllabus was practically child’s play.

Ms. Zhou had specially curated a course for him that was beyond the scope of the original syllabus.

However, Gu Tingwei had an obvious flaw: he lacked empathy.

Compared to ordinary children, most children with gifted IQs perceived the world differently.

This was the fundamental reason as to why they lacked empathy.

And children who lacked empathy were usually reclusive and eccentric. They didn’t like interacting with people, and they weren’t very accepting of others.

If they weren’t given proper guidance, this trait could cause them to step onto the wrong path.

And all these gifted children were geniuses who stood at the top of the pyramid because they had an astounding potential to cause destruction and a profound, far-reaching influence.

Ms. Zhou didn’t want her best student to go astray.

Hence, she had been thinking of ways to cultivate Gu Tingwei’s empathy.

However, numerous trials had led to numerous failures.

Today, she finally saw hope for Mo Tangtang.

This little kid was very special to Gu Tingwei.

For the first time, the indifferent Gu Tingwei was showing a strong interest in someone other than himself.

He even… Seemed to care about Tangtang’s attitude towards him.

This was an excellent start—

After Ms. Zhou finished asking Tangtang questions, she asked Gu Tingwei with a smile, “Wei Wei, do you like Tangtang?”

Gu Tingwei glanced at the little person, whose legs were rooted in place but whose shoulders were angled to the side just like the Leaning Tower of Pisa in an attempt to keep a distance from him. He nodded his head.

Gu Tingwei didn’t like to talk. Nodding was the highest level of affirmation he could express.

Ms. Zhou was elated. “Then from today onwards, you have to take good care of Tangtang.”

As such, from this moment—

Ms. Zhou solemnly forgot her own duties and became a third wheel in the classroom.
