"Well, it's a topic that all of you teachers can't avoid."

Lin Xuaner sighed.

That person was considered his senior and was considered a genius by many people.

At the age of sixteen, he took the college entrance examination and won the top spot in science in Shencheng City.

When all the top students in those days were studying finance, he resolutely chose the Department of Mathematics.

The reason why Lin's father asked him to come that time was actually to ask him to encourage Lin Xuaner to study.

But...

Lin Xuan'er still remembers that summer, the weather was very hot and the cicadas were very noisy.

She ranked third in her class and in the top ten in her grade in the final exam.

"You like math?"

The other party asked.

"Yeah." Lin Xuan'er nodded. "I got full marks in math this time."

The man hummed, not surprised. In his opinion, not getting a perfect score was a problem.

"I brought two books that I read during my freshman year of high school. When you finish them, you can tell me on WeChat and I can recommend other books."

After saying this, the man left. He probably felt that chatting with a little girl was not as interesting as discussing mathematics with his teacher.

Those are two books that you would only read in college.

Lin Xuan'er often fell into a state of doubt about her life when looking at the various notes above.

The other party easily solved the problem, but she only had a vague understanding of the answer even after looking at it.

Then she realized that she liked math, but math didn't like her.

She thought of a sentence that was not quite right, but she felt the same way at the time: "Mathematics is a field open to geniuses."

It was obvious that she was not a genius. And she knew very well that no matter how hard she tried, she could never surpass that senior. And there were many geniuses above him.

That summer, Lin Xuaner, a hard-working academic, was severely hit by an academic genius.

She realized that if she wanted to take another step forward, it might take thousands or even tens of thousands of steps of effort.

So she backed off.

In fact, when Lin Xuan'er recalls that incident now, she feels that she made a big deal out of nothing. Even if you're not a genius, you can still like math.

But if she were to choose again, she would still make the same choice.

She really likes singing and dancing.

Even though she knew that she was not as good as Wang Xingrui in singing and not a genius in dancing, she was still willing to put in tens of thousands of times more effort in exchange for a little progress.

Lin Xuaner had seen a message from a fan before, and it was still fresh in her memory.

"Sister Xuan'er, I really, really like you. A lot of people online are bashing you, saying that being average means being mediocre. They say you have no outstanding qualities and that you'll definitely be the one to fade into obscurity the fastest.

Don't take it personally. We fans all know that your stage presence is innate. And we all know that you're the hardest working one.

I don't understand why so many people these days dislike hardworking people. You may not know that there are many, many people like me, who come from ordinary backgrounds, are neither rich nor famous, have no extraordinary experiences, are neither good nor bad at studying, and have no special looks. In short, ordinary people who just blend in with the crowd.

You've shown me that as long as you work hard, you'll reap rewards. Even someone as talented as you can work so hard, and I'll try to learn from you. There's a quote I really like, and I hope my sister will like it too: "Even if you're born ordinary, you shouldn't settle for mediocrity."

After visiting the homes of three close friends, Lin Xuaner felt hers was the most ordinary. If she had to choose three out of four to broadcast and one to cut, it would definitely be hers.

Because there is nothing special about it, it is just a normal family of three.

If she hadn't suddenly decided to become a trainee, perhaps her future life would have been just as ordinary:

Perform consistently on the Gaokao (National College Entrance Examination) and get into a top university. After graduation, return home to your parents and find a stable job, or perhaps become a civil servant. Around 25, encouraged by your parents and colleagues, you start dating. You marry a man who's a good match, neither ugly nor handsome, someone you don't necessarily love, but who's a good match.

If I'm lucky, I'll have a baby, and after marriage, my husband will take care of the family, and we'll become another ordinary family of three.

She couldn't say it was bad, but it wasn't what she wanted.

Father Lin spoke after a long pause: "Hey, your dad is just a math teacher! But an ordinary person like me has also taught one or two great people."

"Yeah," Lin Xuan'er nodded, "Maybe I'm not that lucky with math."

"You're doing great now. Daddy is very proud." Father Lin said with his back to Lin Xuan'er: "Whether you're famous or not, Daddy is very proud. Because you found something you love and made it your career.

I've taught so many students, and after four or five years, when they graduate from college, the most common thing they tell me is that they're working in a job they don't like. "What can you do? You have to survive! You're amazing."

"Dad!" Lin Xuan'er sniffed. "Can I give you a suggestion?"

"Oh, go ahead." Father Lin also touched his eyes.

"If you were this gentle with your students, you would definitely be the most popular homeroom teacher."

"Ahem," Lin's father immediately frowned. "You mean, I'm not welcome?"

"He's both a math teacher and a principal. How can he be popular with these two identities?" Lin Xuan'er muttered.

"Let's eat!" Father Lin shouted immediately.

Lin Xuan'er laughed and said, "Dad, let's go fly a kite tomorrow!"

"It's so cold..."

"It's spring now and your daughter is so busy, how could she have the time? Do you remember when we were little I used to sit on your shoulders and fly kites?"

"It may not work now." Father Lin felt sorry for his shoulders.
