Origin Story

小雨是个性格内向的孩子，平时很少表达自己的情绪。期末考试成绩下来后，她发现自己数学只考了50分，这让她难以接受。她把自己关在房间里，开始歇斯底里地哭喊，把书本、文具都扔得到处都是。妈妈听到动静，轻轻地推开了门，看到女儿失控的样子，心里非常心疼。她并没有责备小雨，而是耐心地安慰她，告诉她这次考试失利并不能代表什么，以后只要认真学习，一定会有进步的。在妈妈的鼓励下，小雨的情绪慢慢平静下来，她擦干眼泪，重新拾起了书本。

Xiaoyu was an introverted child who rarely expressed her emotions. After the final exam results came out, she found that she only scored 50 points in math, which was unacceptable to her. She locked herself in her room and started crying hysterically, throwing books and stationery everywhere. Her mother heard the noise and gently pushed open the door. Seeing her daughter's uncontrolled appearance, her heart ached. She didn't blame Xiaoyu, but patiently comforted her, telling her that this exam failure didn't mean anything, and that as long as she studied hard, she would definitely improve. Encouraged by her mother, Xiaoyu's emotions gradually calmed down. She wiped away her tears and picked up her books again.
