Tan Jing's nephew was the son of her second brother, Tan Hu and his name was Tan Xue. The family gave him this name as Xue meant "to learn" and they wanted the child to be able to study well. None of the children in their family managed to get into a good school, so that was why Tan Hu gave the child such a name.
Although Tan Jing worked in the university, she was just a counselor who managed the students' dormitory and their daily issues in the university. She did not know anything about academic issues and only got this job by chance. The work was tiring and the salary was low, so no one was willing to take up the job.
In the past, Tan Hu had specially gone to look for Xia Wen to help Tan Xue out, and said things like "We can't let the child lose at the starting line". He wanted Xia Wen to help Tan Xue enter a good school.
