Two new benches were added at the entrance of the Childhood Tuition Center. Lu Yao and Bu Du sat at the entrance. A few fat cats were nestled between their feet and the chairs. They were all wild cats from the neighborhood. They had been fed and tamed by the store clerks recently and often came to beg for food.
On sunny days like this, they also like to lie around and bask in the sun.
A fat orange cat as big as Er Xin was lying on Lu Yao's legs, licking its paw lazily.
Not only looking at it with envy.
Even though He is restricted by the name and will not let off cold air at will, He is still cool.
On such a cold winter day, except for Erxin, few cats are willing to approach him.
Lu Yao comforted him and said that the pigs would like him by summer.
Not only do I not know why, but I am secretly looking forward to the arrival of summer.
Bai Yi sent Sang Li out and greeted Lu Yao at the door.
It has been a long time since Sang Li's first tutoring session. When she left today, she looked very happy and it seemed that she was quite satisfied with the results of the tutoring session.
Bai Yi was also very happy. Standing by the door, he said, "According to your suggestion, we adjusted the time of this tutoring session to start after Sang Li was isolated. At the end, I gave her the materials you brought earlier. Sang Li cried for a long time after reading them. But when she left, she said she was glad she came to attend the tutoring session."
Lu Yao nodded: "It seems that you have begun to understand the core of this job."
Sang Li is a somewhat special tutor.
What she wanted was not to correct the incident of being isolated and bullied by her class at school, but to have the strength to get out of the predicament.
Throughout one's life, one will encounter countless physical, psychological and spiritual difficulties. What is important is not how to avoid difficulties, but how to get out of them.
Bai Yi revealed that she didn't actually do much this time. She just became friends with Sang Li as a transfer student during the time when Sang Li was the most lonely and confused, and stayed with her until Sang Li graduated.
When the tutoring session was about to end, the seats in the class were swapped and four students apologized to Sang Li, saying embarrassedly that after getting to know her, they discovered that she was not the kind of person that was rumored.
Bai Yi suspected that Lu Yao had secretly adjusted the data, which resulted in this kind of feedback.
Lu Yao shook his head: "I didn't adjust it."
Sang Li’s predicament is different from that of Xu Xiaoxiao and Jiao Hu, and does not require large-scale adjustments to the data.
The situation she encountered during tutoring should be the feedback that Alfred predicted the probability of occurring at that time after calculation based on the tutoring plan and the data of the Soul Key.
After the tutoring session, the information Sang Li saw was a gift of comfort, which contained some recent updates on her former classmates.
Sometimes looking at your surroundings from a farther perspective can help you see something different.
Zhuang Li failed the aptitude test of the university she chose and was assigned to a remote and unpopular university; the person who often secretly threw Sang Li's books and homework into the toilet acted too ostentatiously in college, offended the troublemakers in the senior grades, was bullied privately, and no one came to her rescue; the classmate who once secretly helped Sang Li was having a bad relationship and was in a low mood.
People have the freedom to decide their own words and actions, but they must bear the consequences.
Some effects will not appear immediately.
In a long life, ups and downs are common.
Sang Li's middle school years were lonely and depressed. She couldn't make friends, had no trouble falling in love, and spent almost all her time alone and studying. The reward for this time was that she was admitted to the school she liked, and had more opportunities to improve herself, without encountering the interpersonal relationship difficulties she had in middle school.
The most regrettable thing, the disappointment in human nature and interpersonal relationships left by the bullying incident, was compensated by childhood tutoring.
The time span of childhood tutoring is sometimes quite long. The impact of this kind of tutoring will not immediately bring about huge changes to the students' lives and concepts. It will only continue to give students hints in the future and help them slowly embark on the path they most desire deep in their hearts.
Bai Yi briefly reported the situation to Lu Yao and prepared to go back to the office to write a work report while his spirits were still high.
After walking a few steps, she suddenly turned back and asked: "Owner, the treatment time for 222 and 696 is after get off work today?"
Lu Yao: "Well, what's wrong?"
Bai Yi also wanted to visit the Sanhua Market of sixty years ago.
Lu Yao politely declined.
During these two days, Lu Yao and Bu Du walked around Sanhua Market and found many samples from sixty years ago, including trees and rocks, tiles from old houses built sixty years ago, and old items bought from antique shops. They took samples one by one and made them into keys.
Lu Yao made a trip back in advance accompanied by Bu Du.
There were some strange things in Sanhua City sixty years ago. The reason is currently unknown and Lu Yao does not want to involve Bai Yi.
After hearing the explanation, Bai Yi put his mind at ease.

Sang Li left the Childhood Tutorial Center and went straight back to school.
When she got off the car at the door, she felt a little hungry, so she went to the snack street to eat something.
When she came out and saw a barber shop on the side of the road, Sang Li hesitated for a few seconds and walked in. She suddenly felt like changing her hairstyle.
The barber started cutting her hair, and Sang Li couldn't help but think of the information she saw at the childhood cram school.
Xu Tian, I used to meet her often on the way to school.
She is a bit chubby, loves to eat and laugh, and is the first person to say that she is different from the rumors.
This didn't happen during tutoring. Xu Tian really said this to her.
But at that time she felt everything was hypocritical, and later he never walked with her again.
There is a note on the information of the Childhood Tutorial Center that Xu Tian recently broke up.
Sang Li looked at the opened chat interface, hesitated for a while, and sent a message.
After she sent the message, she turned off the screen and prepared to put away her phone.
Boom—
A new message alert sounded.
He replied instantly.
Sang Li paused for a moment, and then the other side sent several messages in succession.
With the cheerful style of emoticons and emojis, Sang Li laughed, but she didn't seem as lost as the information said.

Before closing in the afternoon, a new customer came to the cram school.
An aunt in her fifties walked into the store with her daughter in her thirties.
Bai Yi and Xie Molin were doing the finishing work, and Lu Yao was responsible for receiving the mother and daughter.
The aunt sat down and began to talk. Her daughter Zhou Yishan had been sensible and obedient since she was young, smart and studious. When she graduated from university, she only scored a C grade in the ability test, but she also got an offer from one of the top 50 groups in the country with her strong professional ability.
The aunt has always been proud of her daughter, but even after graduating for many years, Zhou Yishan still hasn't found a boyfriend.
A year ago, Zhou Yishan confessed to her mother that she had no plans to get married.
This made her aunt very anxious. She tried every way to persuade and enlighten her, but Zhou Yishan was very determined. She didn't want to fall in love or start a family.
After a year of long-term "battle", the aunt was almost in despair. However, she heard gossip from an acquaintance and learned about the Childhood Tuition Center. She then decided to bring her daughter to have a look.
My aunt was very emotional when we were chatting, her eyebrows and eyes were wrinkled, and she looked like she was about to cry.
Zhou Yishan sat nearby, looking completely hopeless and wooden.
Lu Yao took out two childhood test forms and handed them to his aunt and Zhou Yishan respectively.
The aunt looked surprised: "I have to fill it out too? Isn't it said that only students who are taking cram schools can fill it out?"
Lu Yao: "Auntie knows it very well. In order to better understand Miss Zhou's situation, I want you to fill out one as well."
After hearing this, the aunt put down her pen and said, "It's her tutoring, not me, so I won't fill it in."
Lu Yao didn't force it: "Okay."
Zhou Yishan filled out the form seriously, which took her nearly half an hour.
It was already the usual time for the cram school to get off work, and Lu Yao had an appointment, so she picked up the form and quickly scanned the important questions, preparing to take Zhou Yishan's bones and make a soul key.
The aunt's face was full of anticipation at first, but when she heard that bones needed to be removed, her expression changed slightly, and then she changed her mind and pulled Zhou Yishan to leave.
Zhou Yishan, on the contrary, became interested in the tutoring. She sat still, rolled up her sleeves, and planned to ask Lu Yao to remove her bones, but was forcibly dragged away by the aunt.
Lu Yao felt a little strange, but couldn't remember what was wrong for a moment.
Xie Molin stood at the door of her office and tapped on the glass: "Owner, this is ready."
Lu Yao came back to his senses: "Okay, wait a moment."
Hearing that 222 and 696 were going to receive treatment, 444 also became very interested in the time-travel journey and begged Lu Yao to take him to have a look. Lu Yao couldn't help but agree.
Therefore, the number of people traveling through time and space this time is very large, including Lu Yao, Bu Du, Lin Xue, Xie Molin, and three experimental subjects.
In view of the unknown situation learned last time, in order to prevent uncontrollable problems, Lu Yao distributed protective props before traveling through time and space.
Lin Xue held up the silver ring and observed: "Just wear this?"
Lu Yao explained: "Although it is a disposable prop, once you put it on, it will activate the protective barrier, instantly rebounding damage when encountering danger, isolating toxic substances and unknown elements. It cannot be seen by the naked eye, but it does exist."
444: "I can't believe it's such a powerful tool."
222: "It's better if you can't see it, otherwise it will feel like I'm wearing protective clothing and taking a walk in the research institute."
696 looked slightly unhappy: "Don't mention the research institute."
There were too many people to bring this time, so Lu Yao took out Alfred's real body, and the familiar silver light enveloped everyone.
The silver light faded away, and there was no one left in the cram school room.
Lu Yao and Budu had investigated in advance and found that their landing coordinates were on a sparsely populated river bank.
When they opened their eyes, they saw overgrown weeds, a river flowing silently, and a desolate scene. It was so quiet that only the sound of the wind could be heard, and there was no sign of a big city at all.
"Sanhua City was so desolate sixty years ago?" Lin Xue found it unbelievable.
Lu Yao took Bu Du by the hand, found a direction, and led them, saying, "Go this way. After a while, you will see houses. There are still many people in the city."
Sixty years is neither long nor short. It did not seem obvious when walking along the deserted riverbank, but when they came across an old boat moored on the bank and talked to the boatmen speaking in a strange dialect, they finally felt the reality of traveling through time and space.
Walking along the river bank, you will encounter more boats and boat people who use the boats as their homes.
Those people looked at Lu Yao and his group in surprise, seeing their bright clothes, fair skin, and different facial expressions.
Lin Xue was not used to this kind of blatant stare, so she quietly hid behind Lu Yao.
It’s strange that the store owner is the only one in the group who has no abilities, but she feels safest around him.
The three test subjects acted calmly. 696 noticed Lin Xue's confusion and explained, "Even the state of the test subjects' excrement is checked and recorded every day. It's just a few glances. They are used to it."
Lin Xue: “…”
They came across a bridge with a toll booth.
If you want to cross the bridge, you must spend one copper dollar to buy a bridge ticket.
Lu Yao was well prepared.
After buying tickets, the group walked onto the river bridge.
After crossing the bridge, it feels like entering the city.
There are more pedestrians on the road and some shops are open.
There are old-fashioned cars, ox carts, and horse carriages on the road. In the eyes of a group of time travelers, the scene is quite jumpy and shocking.
444 was in a good mood. He looked around and showed a puzzled look: "It seems that everyone on the street looks sad. Is there something wrong?"
696 nodded in agreement: "They are all just like the experimental subjects locked up in the research institute."
