Daddy Academy

Chapter 2504 Liuliu——Take my sword!!

Zhang Tan was waiting for Xiaobai in the car outside the school. He thought Xiaobai would take a long time to show up, but unexpectedly she came so soon.

"Is it over?" Zhang Tan asked, looking around Xiao Bai, "Why don't I see Xi'er and the others?"

Xiaobai had a sullen face and said nothing. He walked past the old man's feet, got into the car, climbed onto the back seat and lay down.

Zhang Tan sensed something was wrong and got into the car as well.

He did not sit in the driver's seat, but sat in the back seat like Xiao Bai, next to Xiao Bai, and asked sideways: "What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood? Did you not get a satisfactory test score?"

Xiaobai didn't speak.

Zhang Tan thought he guessed correctly, so he comforted her, "It doesn't matter if you didn't do well in the exam. You're only in the second grade. I'm not angry."

Xiaobai said in a muffled voice: "Hey~"

She handed over two certificates, and Zhang sighed and said, "Wow, two more."

He unfolded them and saw that one said "Art Star" and the other said "Three Good Students".

"I got the title of Three Good Students. Isn't that great? Why are you not happy?"

Xiao Bai was silent for a moment, then sighed: "Why? Why is this happening??? I don't understand!!!"

Zhang Tan asked in confusion: "Why? What happened?"

He looked outside the car again and didn't see Xier and the others, otherwise he could ask them.

Xiaobai finally sat up and said dejectedly: "Liuli's Chinese score is not as good as mine, but her math is better than mine. Why is that???"

Zhang sighed and suddenly realized, so that's what it was.

He comforted her, "Liuliu is your good friend. Her academic performance has improved. We should be happy for her. Why are you so sad? Isn't it a good thing that good friends grow up so fast? We should broaden our horizons."

Xiao Bai said bitterly: "But she sang and danced in front of me, which made me furious. I have never seen such a cocky person."

The image of Liuliu singing and dancing appeared in Zhang Tan’s mind. That cocky look was really quite naughty.

He continued to explain for Liuliu: "Liuliu's grades are not that good usually. It's rare for her to do well in the final exam. Isn't it normal to be happy? If it were me, I would be very happy too. I heard that she will go to her grandmother's house for a while during the summer vacation. Now that she has done well in the exam, she has the confidence to meet her grandparents. When the elderly see that she has good grades, won't they be happy too? This is such a good thing. Liuliu must have thought about these things, and her mood naturally improved."

Xiao Bai still felt unhappy. She said, "Why should she dance for her grandparents? Why should she dance for me and sing Bobo Chicken?"

Zhang Tan smiled bitterly: "Don't you know Liuliu's personality? Isn't it normal for her to do this? It would be abnormal if she didn't do this, right?"

Xiaobai thought about it and had to admit that the old man was right.

But she just couldn't get over the way Liuliu showed off in front of her today. The key point was that she knew that Liuliu would be so arrogant this summer, which made her unable to hold her head up.

She sighed again and said dejectedly, "I should have studied harder. Grandma is right. If I don't make progress, then I'm regressing because other people are making progress. I regret it so much—"

Zhang Tan felt quite relieved. People always grow through various lessons. If he could learn a lesson from failing an exam, he thought it was totally worth it.

"I'm glad you think this way. Remember what grandma said. It's much more valuable than the final exam results. You learned something more valuable."

Xiao Bai asked doubtfully: "Is that so?"

Zhang Tan nodded and said, "Of course, these principles grandma told you are very useful. Not only can they be used in study, but also in all aspects of your life. Whenever you encounter important things in the future, you will think of this principle, and the fact that your test scores were surpassed by Liuliu. As long as you think of these, you will be very motivated and tell yourself to work a little harder, a little more, and the results will be better."

Xiaobai thought about it and nodded heavily.

Zhang sighed and said, "Can you show me your transcript and test papers? It doesn't matter if you didn't do well on the test. I won't blame you. I believe grandma won't blame you either."

Xiao Bai was a little worried and asked, "Won't you be like Lu Zhong's mother, scolding him and tearing up his certificate?"

Zhang Tan said firmly: "Of course not! Lu Zhong's mother was wrong, she shouldn't have done that. Do we have to do the same thing as she did when we know she was wrong? Of course not! Didn't you say it? This is a bloody lesson!"

Xiaobai then felt relieved and gave his test paper and transcript to the old man.

Zhang Tan was mentally prepared for the worst, such as failing.

But when he saw the scores on the transcript, he was quite surprised. Isn't this great!

"Liuliu did so well in the exam this time." he asked in surprise.

Xiaobai nodded and hummed.

Zhang Tan immediately realized that his idea was wrong. Why was he so surprised and even suspicious when Liuliu did well in the exam?

He asked Xiao Bai: "Did you congratulate her?"

"Huh?" Xiao Bai was surprised. Congratulations? Liuliu? She was riding on her face! Still wanting to congratulate her? Wouldn't she have to ride on her head and poop?
Zhang sighed and said, "Yes, congratulations to Liuliu. She did so well in the exam, shouldn't we congratulate her? She has worked very hard during this period, we have all seen it, she deserves it. Her success in the exam was not due to luck, but the result of her own hard work. Yes, all kinds of hard work."

Xiao Bai said angrily, "I don't want to congratulate her! Old man, you didn't see how proud she was."

Zhang Tan knew he couldn't force it, so he said, "It's not right for Liuliu to do this. Let's wait until she's not so cocky, then we can congratulate her. Otherwise, I'm worried that she'll be too proud. But, we can be happy for Liuliu in our hearts. You don't want her to be scolded by her mother because of her poor test scores, do you?"

Xiaobai thought about it and nodded. She really didn't want Liuliu to do too badly in the exam, but she also didn't want Liuliu to do better than her.

She told the old man what was in her heart, and he said, "This is normal, and it doesn't mean you are a bad kid. Good friends should encourage each other and help each other grow. You always did better than Liuliu in the past, and this time Liuliu did better than you, so shouldn't you work harder? In the next exam, your score may be better than Liuliu's. What's most important is not that your score is better than Liuliu's, but that you are better than your current self. Both you and Liuliu have grown up, and you are both better than your original selves. This is what is most important."

"Better than your original self?" Xiaobai asked.

"Yes, Liuliu is not your competitor. You should not limit your sights to Liuliu. Instead, you should compare your present self with your past self, and your future self with your present self. Liuliu is not your opponent, but your partner on the road to growth."

"You should compare your excellence with each other, not your weakness with each other."

Xiao Bai was half-understanding and half-confused, muttering to himself: "This time Liuliu has improved a lot compared to the previous Liuliu, so I should be happy for her. This is the result of her hard work and she deserves it."

Zhang Tan said with relief: "Yes, you understand it 100%."

Xiao Bai said: "Old man, I think I understand a little bit."

"Really? Then I'm happy for you. Eh? Liuliu and the others are here."

Xiaobai hurriedly looked out of the car window, and sure enough, he saw Liuliu and his group walking towards this side. Liuliu was walking at the front of the group. With that posture and that spirit, his laughter came even before they arrived.

Even Xiaomi, who got two perfect scores in the exam, wasn’t so proud!
This made Xiaobai angry.

Zhang Tan reminded him, "Think about how to tell Liuliu later."

"Okay, I want to get off."

Xiaobai got out of the car and met Liuliu. He held back the words of congratulation that were about to come out of his mouth, and another sentence came out from the bottom of his heart: "Liuliu - take my sword!!"

Zhang Tan looked at Xiaobai and Liuliu who were fighting with each other in silence and smiled bitterly. Xiaobai finally followed her heart, but never mind, just let her follow her heart. Otherwise, doing something is one thing while thinking something else in her heart, which is meaningless.

Fortunately, after Xiaobai and Liuliu played for a while, they became close to each other.

"Godfather, look at my results--"

Xier happily handed the report card to her godfather.

"Really? Let me take a look."

Zhang Tan took Xier's report card. The little girl twisted her hands together, her face full of anticipation. She smiled happily, waiting for the affirmation and praise from her godfather.
