Anning spoke with particular caution, her voice very quiet.
But it only made Song Ruyi feel even more distressed.
"Mommy is with you, with mommy here, there's nothing to be afraid of."
She held Anning's hand and returned to the study with the teacher.
The teacher started from the knowledge of seventh grade.
At the beginning, Anning seemed especially uneasy, her face written with tension.
Song Ruyi, afraid to scare her further, held her from behind the entire time, which eased Anning's emotions.
When she truly immersed herself in learning, she gradually forgot to be afraid.
Song Ruyi could feel Anning relax completely, only then did she let go of her, sitting down with a smile to watch her study.
The tutor had previously seen Anning's report card and knew her academics were not impressive, all her subjects were just mediocre. She braced herself for a difficult teaching experience and even prepared for the possibility of having a very slow student.
