Synopsis

[University professor and student + coming of age + raising a child + brilliant professor + redemption + discipline + college guy]

A sensitive, insecure rural college student who lives for exams x a gentle, strong, rational, brilliant professor

A gradual, mutual redemption

Yun Tianming had just arrived in the big city, where life was hard. He kept taking odd jobs to earn money. One day, he accidentally delivered an order to the wrong door. Panicking, he apologized over and over.

“Are you a student at Rong University?”

At the mention of the school, Yun Tianming felt terribly inferior. He shook his head again and again, saying he wasn’t, then fled.

Suicheng thought, The person teaching my eight o’clock class tomorrow morning is actually the one from last night.

After class, Sui Jiashu asked him, “Why did you run away?”

Yun Tianming found it hard to say. Only after the professor asked three times did he stammer out the reason. “Professor, I was afraid I’d embarrass the university.”

Sui Jiashu said, “Xiao Yun, there’s nothing shameful about working to pay your own living expenses. Hold your head up and say that again.”

Sui Jiashu took his student to the office and picked up a clear ruler. “Hold out your hand.”

Yun Tianming hesitantly picked up the ruler and asked cautiously, “Professor, how many strikes?”

Sui Jiashu said, “As many as you think are appropriate.”

His insecurity, self-doubt, social anxiety, and sensitivity… all got beaten out of him with that ruler.

I felt this story was very realistic. Xiaoyun's feelings for Teacher Sui were genuine and simple. Perhaps because I'm similar to Xiaoyun, I couldn't help but empathize with her while reading. Xiaoyun and Teacher Sui's experiences and interactions also inspired me. I admire Xiaoyun's courage and sincerity, and I'm fascinated by Teacher Sui's patience, maturity, and strict guidance.

This is such a wonderful teacher-student story! It focuses heavily on guidance and mentorship, and has a touch of warmth. The professor is truly a wonderful teacher, transforming our insecure Xiaoyun into the capable Xiaoyun we see at the end, with Jia Shu's shadow beginning to emanate from her. The way the beginning and ending echoed each other almost brought me to tears 🥺 Three books.

No one in this world is an absolute island. On life's journey, we will always encounter people and meet sunshine. University is the starting point for his destiny, the beginning of his pursuit of dreams. On this slow but ever-forward path, encountering good teachers is a turning point in his transformation.

My perspective is very "neutral," perhaps because of Brother Huai, but I don't really want to discuss Xiaoyun and Jiashu. (This is purely my personal opinion, without any derogatory intent.) However, there's no doubt that Jiashu is an excellent mentor. Meeting such a good "teacher" is Xiaoyun's greatest blessing.

The author's writing is so good! [I'm so full] Words can't express it (yes, actually I'm just speechless) 😘 While reading the story, I was actually a little angry. If I were Xiao Huai, I would also feel jealous and upset if my lover cared so much about someone else, even a student. Xiao Huai's jealousy is understandable, and her harsh tone is also normal.

I actually wanted to write this book review a while ago, but I kept getting busy or forgetting, so I'm only writing it now. The author's writing is still great. This is a purely teacher-student story; the teacher and student relationship is simply that of teacher and student. The teacher has his own lover.

This book is truly wonderful. I read the first two books before starting this one. I rarely read an author's other works specifically because of a particular book, but this one is definitely worth reading. The author's ensemble writing is superb and very engaging. It's a pity my writing isn't good enough to express my feelings.

If there are mentors on the path of life, it has never been my luck, but my honor. ๑>ᴗO๑ So, I feel very honored to have met you. (Bowing) During this journey of guidance and enlightenment, Xiaoyun met Sui. Those deep-seated flaws, etched into her very being, were gradually nurtured and cared for.

This is so good! 😆 The author's writing is excellent! 👍 The master-disciple relationship is very clear throughout the story. 🤤 The writing is delicate, approachable, and very realistic, making it very heartwarming. 💕 The story details how the master guides his student step by step from an ignorant teenager to a responsible professor.

Yun Tianming is a very vividly portrayed character. In the book, he comes from a small town and gradually sees the vast world, slowly growing and maturing. I was deeply moved. He was very lucky to meet a great teacher, and of course, he was also very good himself! (I read another book first and fell in love with Huai and Sui, which made me even more eager to learn more about them.
