Deng Qiyue was exceptionally patient with Su Shining, not only explaining things with great care but also, seemingly out of consideration for her being older, taking special pains to preserve her dignity.
However, the results remained unimpressive. After a long session of instruction, Deng Qiyue discovered that the two of them had made almost no progress at all. He flew into a rage and angrily ordered them to stay behind for extra study, declaring, "If you cannot write those two phrases, don't even think about stepping out of this room to eat today!"
Upon hearing this, both felt extremely anxious and had no choice but to redouble their efforts and give it their all. Meanwhile, Deng Qiyue called for Su Shirong and An'an to join him for a meal. Su Shirong originally did not want to leave, hoping instead to stay and continue tutoring his elder brother and sister.
