Don’t Compare

“Yes. Thank you, Ms. Guo. I’ll inform the two children as well.”

Song Ci felt that Guo Ruo was a very dependable and attentive teacher.

“You’re welcome. Yujin is clever and obedient. We don’t want him to be affected negatively. The same goes for Lu Suo. They’re both great. Anyway, I’m going to send a message at the parents-teacher group chat later.”

“Okay. If you need my help with anything, just let me know.”

“Since you’re offering… is it possible for you to give me an autograph? One of my friends is your fan.”

Guo Ruo sounded a little excited.

“Sure.”

Song Ci was pleased to have a real-life fan.

“I hope your work continues to go well.”

“Thank you.”

After Guo Ruo hung up, she sent a message to the parents-teacher group chat.

[ The school is a place where children receive education, so please don’t distract them. Moreover, children can’t really control themselves. Try to restrict their behavior. I don’t want their perception to be wrapped up by celebrity culture. If this keeps up, they’ll even start comparing their own parents to others and that’s not healthy. ]

[ Understood. ]

[ You’re right, Ms. Guo. ]

[ I’ll tell my daughter that I was mistaken about Madam Song’s identity. ]

[ We should stop talking about this. Children should not be worshiping celebrities. ]

[ Right. They’re still too young. ]

[ Adults can barely contain their curiosity. It’ll be worse for children. ]

[ We have to be more responsible. ]

All the parents came to an understanding. They did not want their children to fall behind in terms of studies. Celebrities were not a priority.

Song Ci also expressed her gratitude.

[ Thank you for understanding, everyone. ]

[ No problem. ]

[ Madam Song, you taught Song Yujin so well and you’re also successful. It’s amazing! You’re an example of a winner in life. ]

[ Yeah, I’m so envious of you. ]

Song Ci could not help but smile. After all, everyone liked to be praised.

…

Song Yujin and Lu Suo were still busy preparing their gifts.

Lu Suo was finally going to draw Song Ci. He took it seriously and even looked through Song Ci’s wardrobe.

‘If I remember correctly, she wears this outfit the most.’

After Lu Suo was done, he happily showed his drawing to Song Yujin.

“Brother, look! This is mommy.”

Song Yujin thought to himself, ‘That looks nothing like her…’

However, he did not want to upset Lu Suo and just replied, “Oh.”
