They were extrely shocked.
Among them were students who hadn’t attended Ning Youguang’s classes before.
It was the first ti they heard the goddess speak so much to them. Being in such close contact with her, they were excited and found it incredibly interesting.
While being completely engrossed, they couldn’t help but pick up their phones and summon their friends and classmates from various groups to co over and listen.
Soon, many more students gathered around Ning Youguang, drawn by the news.
"Ms. Ning, could you give us so advice on relationships?" A slightly overweight, average-height male student asked from the crowd.
As Ning Youguang continued chatting with her students, those around beca increasingly bold with their questions.
"Sure." Ning Youguang replied gently, looking at the student who wanted relationship advice, "What issue do you have in your relationship?"
"I don’t have any issues; I’m asking on behalf of soone else." The slightly overweight male student lowered his head shyly.
A few male students surrounded him, obviously good friends.
Seeing the shy student reluctant to continue asking questions, they teased him joyfully.
On the other side, a female student seized this opportunity to ask Ning Youguang a question—
"Ms. Ning, I’d like to ask, if we’re in a relationship, how should we choose our partners?"
Ning Youguang drew her gaze away from the group of boys and focused on the girl asking the question, "You all have probably heard this saying."
She said, "The person you date is one type, and the person you marry is another. What it ans is, you can define your standards before entering a relationship. In this world, eting your criteria isn’t limited to just one person—this is the assessnt period before dating. I suggest not rushing into a romantic identity. You can start as friends; being friends ans you’re in a friendship, not a romantic relationship, and how far that friendship progresses depends on how comfortable you are together."
"My point is, if you’re considering soone to be your partner, deep down, you need to know you’re not together just for the sake of dating; you should be aware that you’re with them to see if it’s comfortable. If it’s uncomfortable, you can maintain distance—not too close; if it’s comfortable, you can get closer. Such feelings tend to be more mature, and once a relationship is established, it will allow both parties to be more comfortable."
There was a round of enthusiastic applause.
The female student asked again, "How can I tell if soone truly loves or is pretending?"
Her question resonated with many students present, causing the scene to fall silent.
Ning Youguang replied, "Soone who truly loves you will see you and recognize your needs, whereas soone pretending to love sees only their own needs. If you find you can’t be your true self around them, that’s not love. Suppressing your true self for long will eventually lead to a blow up."
Another student asked, "Teacher, I feel I have many flaws, and I don’t have luck with the opposite sex. What if no one loves ?"
Ning Youguang turned to look at the questioner and found that he was a short, ordinary-looking boy.
"Tolstoy once said, ’Everyone has flaws, like apples bitten by God; so have bigger flaws because God especially loves their fragrance.’ " She smiled at him, saying, "As the saying goes, love begets love, and blessings follow blessings. If you think you lack love, give it first. If your relationships aren’t good, focus on what you can do to improve yourself and raise your social value while helping others. You never know when fate might smile upon you and shine a light on what you thought was a dim future."
"Goddess, do you think sudden wealth can solve the pain in our life?" Another student asked.
"When we’re deficient in material terms, everyone thinks, if soday I get rich, all problems will be solved, and nothing else matters. But in reality, once soone has money, they find many problems remain unsolved." Ning Youguang responded.
"Goddess, how do you understand the phrase ’inner strength’?" The question ca from a bespectacled girl who, although only around twenty, had a uniquely sharp look in her eyes.
Ning Youguang glanced at her, then spoke with gentle eyes, "Many people believe ’inner strength’ ans becoming unyieldingly strong, yet the truth is the opposite. Inner strength ans being genuine, consistent internally and externally. It involves courageously showing and expressing all facets of oneself, be it strength and vulnerability, joy and sorrow. It involves opening one’s heart to others, not shutting oneself off because of wounds. A truly strong person easily finds joy and empathizes with others’ pain, embracing themselves and others with acceptance and tenderness."
"Is it really so?" The girl pondered deeply.
Ning Youguang nodded confidently, "Yes."
"Ms. Ning, I often lack confidence in my abilities. What should I do to gain more self-assurance?"
"Do more tasks, and you’ll beco more confident in your abilities."
The psychology professor known as the goddess across the campus—Professor Ning—set up a stall under the magnolia tree for free consultation for all students, which was unprecedented on the campus.
Seeing her patiently respond to all sorts of questions, students took the chance to bring up their issues regarding everyday life, love, future career developnt, and self-growth.
So even asked her about resolving conflicts with friends and dealing with parent-child relationship issues...
The types of questions were incredibly diverse.
So they surrounded her from dusk till nightfall.
That day, on the campus, the playground stirred by the wind, the flickering street lamps, and the bustling crowd all beca gentler because of the person patiently replying to students’ questions under the magnolia tree.
As the event ended.
Ning Youguang said, "Today, you all have asked many wonderful questions; now, may I ask you a question as well?"
"Yes." The students’ voices echoed across the campus.
"My question is—what have you done to prove that you haven’t wasted your life?" 1314
