Chapter 270 Guilty Feelings
Little Peach Blossom looked at the professor with a little guilt, she would definitely be more serious in the future.
"You really don't think it's excessive?"
"Really," Little Peach Blossom affirmed.
"Very good, you said that. Then don't back down when the professor increases the difficulty for you in the future!"
Little Peach Blossom was a little confused, and she had a bad feeling about it.
Before Xiao Taohua could figure out what this ominous premonition was, the professor had already led the two of them into the library and began to introduce Xiao Peichuan to his future daily work.
Little Peach Blossom, well, Little Peach Blossom's attention has already shifted to what Xiao Peichuan will do next.
"Actually, the work in the library is quite easy. You just need to record students' borrowing and returning of books. You don't need to worry about anything else. There are other people to handle organizing books or other tasks." The professor made this arrangement because he heard that Xiao Peichuan was in poor health.
He wanted Xiao Taohua to be more ambitious, thinking that being with her partner might make her even more motivated. However, he couldn't let his partner, who wasn't in good health, do any strenuous work. If she got exhausted, he wouldn't have anyone to keep her company.
"So the salary isn't that high. If you have any complaints, feel free to voice them. We'll try to resolve them if we can, but there's nothing we can do if we can't."
The professor asked Xiao Pei-chuan this question, and Xiao Pei-chuan genuinely had no objection, so he shook his head.
"Hmm, you two kids are both good. Alright, Lin Xiaotao, this is your task for today. You can take a look first. If there's anything you don't understand, I'm reading in the library right now, so you can ask me."
Little Peach Blossom looked at a book and a workbook that the professor had placed on the table, and hesitated to speak.
"What's wrong?" Professor Song couldn't help but ask when he saw her like this.
"This is too little; I can work harder."
"What?" Professor Song was shocked.
You know, there used to be only one exercise book. This book was added today specifically to put pressure on Lin Xiaotao. She hasn't even looked at it yet and she already feels it's not enough?
Professor Song wasn't just surprised, he was absolutely shocked.
Is this child so moved that he went crazy?
No way, right? That can't be right.
Little Peach looked at Professor Song, stammering for a while, before finally admitting honestly, "Actually, the assignments the professor gives me every day are very simple, and I only spent a little bit of time on them." When she said "a little bit," Little Peach even made a "little bit" gesture, and it really meant a very little bit.
Professor Song, Professor Song doesn't want to talk.
However, he took a deep breath, closed his eyes, then opened them again, staring intently at Little Peach Blossom: "Are you serious?"
Little Peach Blossom nodded: "Mm."
"Hehe, I see. The professor underestimated your talent. Hmm, not bad, keep it up. Actually, this is just the appetizer; the main course is yet to come. Didn't you say you were going to work hard? Let's start with this appetizer. When the main course comes, you can't back down."
Little Peach Blossom said confidently, "Don't worry, Professor, I definitely won't back down."
"Oh, okay. By the way, do you need me to explain this book to you?"
"No need, the steps are all in the book, I'll learn it after reading it once."
"Ha, haha, no, not bad, really not bad. Well then, I'll go first. You can look at it yourself."
"Goodbye, Professor."
Goodbye.
Professor Song didn't know how he got out of the library; he felt like he was floating all the way to his office.
Then, in front of several professors in the office, he suddenly picked up a book and slammed it on the table!
"Professor Song?"
Professor Song was completely absorbed in his own thoughts: "I knew it, I knew it! So that's how it is! Hehe, that's great, Lin Xiaotao, you brought this up yourself. I knew it, how could a monster only have that little ability? He even knew how to hide it after all this time. Good, very good, that's great."
"Professor Song?"
"What!" Professor Song's cold gaze swept over, and the professor who called out to Professor Song couldn't help but shudder, feeling that Professor Song's eyes were terrifying.
The other person swallowed hard: "Professor Song, are you talking about Lin Xiaotao? Has something happened?"
Professor Song suddenly looked at the other person.
"Professor Song?"
Professor Song sighed deeply.
"Professor Song, are you alright?"
"I'm fine. What's wrong with me? It's Lin Xiaotao who's in trouble."
"ha?"
"Want to know?"
“A little, then tell me about it.”
“I’ll say it,” Professor Song said, glancing at the other professors who were sitting comfortably but had their ears perked up. “I won’t say anything.”
this……
It's neither here nor there, it's so frustrating.
"Professor Song, this won't do. Just say what you have to say. It's unethical to keep people in suspense like this." One professor complained; they were still waiting for the results.
"If I think it's good, then it's good. Anyway, it didn't involve you guys." Professor Song snorted. He was determined not to tell anyone who wanted to know.
"Professor Song, we're in the same office, don't forget we tell you everything."
"Exactly, one shouldn't be so ungrateful."
"I'm ungrateful? Oh, so all this time I've been leading the charge is considered ungrateful? Well then, come on then."
"Professor Song, don't mind them. They just don't know how to talk. You've worked so hard all this time. Come on, let's share any good news or juicy gossip. Let me tell you, Old Wu, he was really upset by his grandson the other day. The grandson said he wanted to go south to do business. You know, doing business is allowed now, but the south is so far away and he doesn't know anyone there. What if something goes wrong?"
"That's right, I've heard about it too. Old Wu is so angry that he can't get out of bed."
"Should we go take a look?"
"Let's not go for now. With his temper, if he sees us, he'll think we're here to make a scene for him. No, no, we're not going."
"Yes, yes, we can't go for now. But children are a burden, and Old Man Wu only has one grandson left now."
"That's right, back then..."
This is something that's hard to say, and shouldn't be said. The person who was about to speak swallowed back his words.
The classroom became unusually quiet for a moment.
"Alright, alright, you're all curious about what happened, right? There's nothing wrong with saying it. It's just that we were fooled by Lin Xiaotao earlier."
"What?"
Seeing the bewildered looks on the other professors' faces, Professor Song became smug and, no longer wanting to keep them in suspense, said directly, "That child is truly intelligent, a prodigy indeed. The assignments we gave her were completed in a very short time. She didn't focus on her studies at all the rest of the time. So, we felt that the assignments we gave her were very demanding, but Lin Xiaotao didn't take them seriously at all."
This is very infuriating.
But the anger subsided before it even began.
After all that talk, it turns out they didn't really get to know Lin Xiaotao.
Their understanding of Lin Xiaotao is based entirely on their own perspectives.
To put it bluntly, it's still their fault.
