Live Stream: Overly Pampered Education Creates Three Superstars in One Family

Chen Chu stood on the playground, looking at the little guy in front of him.

Chen Xiayu looked up at him, her eyes clear and bright, without any grievance or complaint, only a quiet waiting, as if waiting for him to speak, or as if waiting for him to make a decision.

Chen Chu stood up, turned to the teacher, and said calmly and firmly, "Teacher, don't worry. I will definitely help Xia Yu catch up with the teaching pace. Give me some time."

The teacher sighed, his tone devoid of malice, only revealing a sense of helplessness born from accumulated reality.

"Mr. Chen, I can't slow down the other children's pace just for her sake. There are more than twenty children in the class, and I can't neglect one for the other. Besides, the midterm exams are coming up soon, and the teaching schedule is fixed."

She paused for a moment, then said, "I know how you feel as a father, but some things can't be solved just by feeling. Think about it again."

Chen Chu nodded: "I understand. Thank you, teacher."

He didn't say anything more, turned around, walked to Chen Xiaoyu, squatted down, and stretched out his hand, "Nannan, let's go home."

Chen Xiayu placed her small hand in his palm.

Her hands were small and soft, like a ball of cotton candy just rolled out of a cotton candy machine.

Chen Chu took her hand, stood up, and led her toward the school gate.

The setting sun cast long shadows of the two people, the older one leading the younger one, like a spoon and a pea.

After leaving the school gate, Chen Chu suddenly squatted down, lifted Chen Xiayu up, and held her above his head.

Chen Xiayu was startled by the sudden jump, then giggled, her short legs flapping in the air.

Chen Chu put her down, held her in his arms, and rested his chin on her fluffy little head: "Wow, my little girl is so amazing! Her teacher told me today that she's learned addition and subtraction within ten! She's so smart! How can my little girl be so smart!"

Chen Xiayu leaned on his shoulder and blinked. She clearly hadn't learned addition and subtraction within ten today.

She has to count on her fingers for ages to figure out what one plus one equals.

Chen Chu continued, his tone exaggerated as if he were announcing something earth-shattering: "When your dad was your age, he was still playing in the mud! He couldn't understand addition and subtraction within ten at all and got criticized by the teacher so many times! But our little girl, she was praised by the teacher on her first day of school! She really makes her dad proud!"

Chen Xiayu leaned on his shoulder, her small hands clutching his collar, a glimmer of light appearing in her clean eyes.

At this moment, the viewers in the live chat collectively broke down.

[You rascal, protect your sister!]

[Sobbing, I knew it, you would definitely encourage your sister... I'm so touched...]

[The little girl's expression clearly showed that she knew she hadn't learned it, but her dad said she was great, so she believed him.]

[You can criticize Chen Chu in other areas, but I really can't bring myself to criticize him for being a father.]

[Zhao Shuilan, shut up. I don't want to hear you.]

But Zhao Shuilan still spoke up. Leaning back in her studio chair, she spoke slowly and deliberately, with the air of someone who had been through it all: "Praise is useless. Some things, if you don't have them, you just don't have them. The gap in ability can't be bridged by a few words of praise. In my opinion, sending them to a special school is more appropriate. It's better for the child and better for the parents."

Zhou Zhenyang didn't respond this time. He just stared at the little girl on his father's shoulder on the screen, remaining silent for a long time.

After returning home, Chen Chu didn't rush to cook. He placed Chen Xiayu on the small desk in the living room, and took out her math workbook from his schoolbag. It was brand new and had hardly been used.

He flipped through the previous content and found the simplest questions, such as one plus one or two plus three.

He laid the exercise book out in front of Chen Xiayu, sharpened a pencil for her, and sat down on the chair next to her.

"Sweetie, shall we do a few math problems first? They're really easy. After you finish, Daddy will make you something delicious."

Chen Xiayu held her pencil, staring at the crooked numbers on her workbook, and remained silent for a long while. Then she lowered her head and began counting on her fingers.

One plus one, she stretched out one finger, then another, looked at it, and wrote a "2" in the parentheses.

Chen Chu glanced at the crooked but perfectly correct answer, his eyes widening instantly, his tone exaggerated as if he had discovered a new continent.

"Wow! Nannan, you're amazing! One plus one equals two! You actually figured it out! How are you so smart!"

Chen Xiayu raised her head, blinked, and the corners of her mouth began to turn up.

She lowered her head and continued working on the next problem: two plus three. She counted on her fingers several times before writing down a "5".

Chen Chu took a deep breath, his expression one of utter astonishment: "You got it right again! Nannan, did you secretly learn this? How do you know everything?!"

Chen Xiayu's lips were curled up to an uncontrollable height, and her toes were gently dangling under the chair.

Chen Chu pressed his advantage: "Look how smart you are, little girl! You might become a scientist someday! But I've heard scientists are very busy. If you become a scientist, will you still be able to spend time with me?"

He deliberately put on a worried expression.

Chen Xiayu immediately put down her pencil, slid off the chair, and opened her arms to hug his legs.

"I want my daddy! I don't want to be a scientist! I want to stay with my daddy!"

His voice was muffled, but carried a serious tone.

Chen Chu was amused by her comment about "not wanting to be a scientist," and picked her up and placed her on his lap.

"Okay, it's fine if you don't want to be a scientist, Nannan. But, how about you finish this problem first? After you finish this problem, Daddy will hug you and hug you for a long time."

Chen Xiayu slid off his lap, sat back down in the chair, picked up her pencil, and looked down at the next question: What is three plus four?

She stretched out both hands and started counting on her fingers.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven...

She counted several times to make sure she hadn't miscounted, and then carefully wrote a "7" in the parentheses.

Then she looked at Chen Chu, her eyes sparkling.

"Daddy, hug me!"
