Perhaps they really knew each other. What was his name?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da gives his grandfather's name: \"Yu Lihua.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, this grandfather passed away even earlier than Zhai Da's father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He died of \"multiple cancers,\" which is to say, primary multiple cancers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But ever since Zhai Da had memories, he had heard many stories about his grandfather from Yu Xiaoli. The house they lived in and the savings his mother used to raise him seemed to come from his grandfather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So in Zhai Da's heart, his grandfather is a tangible yet ethereal figure. His shadow is very long, long enough to shine upon his grandson until he grows up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Rui thinks for a moment upon hearing the name: \"I think I really have heard my mother mention it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he can't recall it for the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few simple sentences bridge the distance, and the subsequent conversation becomes logical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It lasts for a full hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da goes from indifference at the beginning to having to be vigilant later because the other party's thinking is too agile, lest he reveal any flaws, and in the end, he actually feels like they are having a pleasant conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is a knowledgeable, eloquent, and gentle teacher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is hard to imagine that this person, who was admitted to a top-tier university in his past life but only became a \"Civics teacher\" in a small county, became a counter-argument for some students that \"being good at studying is useless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then used to convince themselves that \"so what if I go to an internet cafe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhai Da knows very well that whether a person succeeds or not sometimes really has nothing to do with \"ability\"; what is missing is just luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teacher Shen Rui is a very capable person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Shen Rui also clearly feels that this student's mental maturity is beyond his imagination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even under the premise that Zhai Da is intentionally acting young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Rui checks his watch: \"Let's stop here for today; evening self-study is almost over. It was a pleasure chatting with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da: \"Thank you, Teacher Shen. Actually, you taught our class in freshman year, and I was deeply impressed back then. It's a pity that I never had Civics again after entering the science class.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Rui recalls a bit, seems to find a few fragments, and says with a smile: \"I remember. Because I was a substitute teacher at the time, I didn't follow the syllabus and spent every class chatting with you about everything under the sun to pass the time. Actually, I was a bit derelict in my duty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He readily admits that he was slacking off at the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But actually, we loved those classes, getting in touch with things outside the textbook. Later, when Teacher Zhang came back, some people in the classroom secretly shouted that 'it's not as good as Teacher Shen's' teaching, and Teacher Zhang's face turned green.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Rui shakes his head and laughs: \"I remember I also left you some outrageous homework at the time...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da thinks for a moment and also has some impression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I remember... you asked us to go back and think about a question...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why do our mothers knit sweaters for foreign mothers in the textile factory, and how can we get foreign mothers to knit sweaters for us...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While repeating it, Zhai Da actually frowns slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was just a metaphor, but because his mother really worked in a garment factory at the time, Zhai Da's memory is quite deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Rui: \"So, did you figure it out later?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long time, Zhai Da slowly shakes his head...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention the \"high school student Zhai Da\" at the time, even the reborn Zhai Da... actually hasn't figured it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, in a long adult life, even if the content of a certain high school class is deeply remembered, one wouldn't really dig it out and think about it carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Rui chooses to skip this topic: \"It doesn't matter, you still have a long time to think about it slowly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"According to the school's requirements, just come here for a chat on Saturday. Of course, if you have any doubts in the future, you are always welcome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da gets up, shakes hands with the other party, and then leaves the office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After being left alone, Shen Rui returns to his seat, thinks for a moment, pulls out a piece of paper, and writes down a few lines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The student has a mental maturity beyond his peers, strong logical ability, and a low probability of extreme behavior.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His attitude toward puppy love is relatively flat; he is unwilling to talk much but is not awkward, though the influence of the Hawthorne effect cannot be ruled out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The single-parent family has little impact on him, the family atmosphere is relatively good, and his personality... is very humorous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking about it, Shen Rui adds another sentence:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In terms of behavioral patterns, there is a significant deviation from his own age group... this should come from his life experience...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Suggestion: Emotionally stable, no need for deliberate intervention... but continued observation is required.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After writing it, he doesn't pay too much attention to it. These things are just his personal habit as a psychology enthusiast, not something that really needs to be reported to the school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dean of Students might not even understand it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Possessing a mature mind but hiding it, is he afraid of not fitting in...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His eloquence is also quite good, perhaps influenced by his grandfather?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the subsequent chat, he vaguely remembered who \"Yu Lihua\" was...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Rui puts this paper into a separate drawer. This is his bit of extra work at the school; every student with psychological risks is handed over to him for guidance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the drawer, there are quite a few similar psychological profiles, but the total number is not large.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this era, the \"judgment threshold\" for psychological problems is very high, and generally, the school does not attach importance to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Zhai Da hadn't fainted in a special place like the second mock exam room, he wouldn't have been qualified to be arranged for this kind of \"psychological counseling.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Rui looks at the paper at the very bottom, and the situation of that girl flashes through his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a pity... I wonder how she is doing now...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The header of the paper reads:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lu Wei\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——————\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way back to the classroom, passing by the entrance of the key class, Zhai Da finds the door is open. He sticks very close to it, his peripheral vision sweeping quickly, trying to find the \"special equipment\" he caught a glimpse of earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unfortunately, there are no clues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This system's judgment is a bit rigid; special items must be \"close range\" + \"seen with one's own eyes\" to be identified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The range of the former is roughly the distance at which Zhai Da can distinguish what the item is, so very large things react from far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like that old elm tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The latter means that there must be no obstruction; otherwise, even if the distance is very close, if the thing is in someone else's pants pocket, he won't know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evening self-study is nearing its end. The first half is occupied by the English teacher, and the second half is a bit more relaxed for everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maofang Middle School is not really a key school after all; it's just the thickest among the dwarves compared to the other two high schools, and the students' self-drive is not strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In most cases, they are sheep being driven; they won't move their butts to run unless the whip cracks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da remembers that in his year, the undergraduate rate was only 30%, and the first-tier university rate was 7%, and most of these students were concentrated in the two key classes, Class 11 and Class 12.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senior Year Class 8, back then, seemed to have only eight or nine undergraduates, including Lin Shuyao...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm? Why is this little girl looking at him again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Da glares right back, and Lin Shuyao turns her head immediately, as if startled.\u003C\u002Fp>",1598,"2026-06-17T20:36:24.634Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","039038516e5a90f5508ff4baf3e160f7dd0da03236c8667e430cea8948ed6254","reborn-in-2008-the-gear-obsessed-heartthrob-chapter-14","reborn-in-2008-the-gear-obsessed-heartthrob-chapter-12",326,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-2008-the-gear-system-god-cover.jpg"]
