Stars came to the Nunnery once again, at around seven o’clock in the evening.
The sky was completely dark, and it was snowing outside.
He felt that compared to the daytime, it was easier to come and go during the night.
When he reached the door of Tan Ruyue’s room, the room was pitch black inside, and he wondered, could it be that she’s already asleep?
Stars gently knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside.
He pushed the door open and shone a flashlight inside, only to find no one was there.
"Go and see where she might be," he quietly instructed the brats.
A few of the brats stayed behind while the others rushed off to find Tan Ruyue.
News came quickly.
"Little Princess, the young girl is reciting in one of the halls."
Stars, led by the brat, went to where Tan Ruyue was, the door was wide open, and the cold wind was whistling inside.
He peeked inside and saw Tan Ruyue kneeling on a prayer mat, holding a book in her hands, reciting lessons with an elderly nun aged fifty or sixty. The content of these lessons was nothing more than learning the Ten Commandments.
"I’m going back to rest now. Recite what I taught you today, finish it before you go to sleep."
"Yes, Master."
Seeing the elderly nun come out, Stars quickly hid behind a pillar.
Only when she walked far away did he go in.
Seeing him, Tan Ruyue was overjoyed, "Xingxing, you’re here?"
"It’s freezing here, what’s the need to recite here? Wouldn’t it be better to recite in your room?"
"No, Master said I can only recite here, but I learn quickly, so it will be fast."
"Then go ahead and recite, I’ll wait for you." He whispered, "I brought you something good."
"What good thing?"
"You’ll find out later."
Thus, Tan Ruyue took her reciting even more seriously. Soon, she had memorized it all.
They went back together.
Upon returning to the room, Tan Ruyue finally realized he had brought several illustrated fairytale books.
They included stories like The Little Mermaid, Snow White, Cinderella, and so on.
There were also annotations in pinyin so she could not only read the stories but learn the characters.
She genuinely liked them.
Besides that, he also brought first-grade language arts and math textbooks, all new.
"If you don’t study, you’ll become like a fool who knows nothing and understands nothing."
Tan Ruyue nodded in agreement, "So, Xingxing, will you be my teacher?"
"Besides me, who else could it be? I know all of this well, and I’ll teach you everything."
As always, Stars did not forget to bring meat along, this time bringing beef for her.
"Since it’s cold now, the beef will last several days without spoiling, you eat it slowly."
"Okay."
In Tan Ruyue’s tiny heart, Stars became just like his name, a star shining in her heart.
At a time when no one cared whether she lived or died, only he cared about her.
He gave her warmth, gave her the motivation to survive.
He was like a handful of fire in the winter, which although couldn’t resist the winter’s cold, still warmed her heart.
These were the deepest feelings a five- or six-year-old child could have.
As I walked on thin ice and nearly fell in, your young self pulled me up, from then on, nothing could be more precious than you.
Stars taught seriously, Tan Ruyue learned seriously, carefully remembering language arts and math, promising not to let him down when he said he would check next time, ensuring she wouldn’t make any mistakes.
