The nights of early spring had yet to shake off the cold of winter. After Cai Youyang got home, he boiled some hot water for a foot bath. While he soaked his feet, Lu Feng told him the results of the interrogation. The Public Security Bureau was strict and would never leak any details of a case to an unrelated party. However, Cai Youyang was precisely involved in this case, so it was only proper for him to be informed of the results.

That gang of hooligans led by Bald Head was employed by the dean of the orphanage to “add some color to the teacher who comes looking for trouble.” Who would’ve thought that God’s plans superseded those of humans? It just so happened that when Teacher Wu had left his car along the roadside, a thief came to steal his car. Bald Head only knew the car’s plate number, and he didn’t take a clear look at who was inside the car. Paying no heed to the consequences, he asked his men to smash the front and the windows of the car. In the process, the thief sustained injuries.

The matter was the epitome of the saying “the wicked suffer at the hands of the even more wicked.” The thief would be brought into custody after being discharged from the hospital. As for Bald Head, although he was quite proactive in telling all he knew, he still committed intentional assault. He couldn’t escape imprisonment of no more than 3 years.

Cai Youyang questioned, “Will you still handle the orphanage case?”

“According to conventional procedures, the case should be handed over to the police station. However, the compassionate masses strongly reacted to the inaction of some of the police forces, which has led to the slow progress of the investigation. As a higher-ranking government agency, we must strike with thunder.”

“Warm-hearted masses…” When Cai Youyang heard Lu Feng’s serious and strange lingo, he couldn’t refrain from bursting into laughter. “You got a pretty good bureaucratic accent.”

Lu Feng said, “Once you’ve heard a lot of it, you’ll naturally learn how to speak it too.”

Supporting his elbow on his knee, Cai Youyang sized Lu Feng up from a lower vantage point. “Why do I feel like you’ve become a bit more handsome today?”

Lu Feng bent down. “Have you soaked your feet enough?”

In response, Cai Youyang leaned back and said, “What are you doing? Don’t get too close.”

Lu Feng flashed a smile. He then stepped forward, grabbed Cai Youyang, and straightforwardly lifted him from the chair.

Cai Youyang bared his fangs, trying to threaten him to stay away. “What-what are you doing?!”

Lu Feng kicked open the bedroom door, walked to the side of the bed, and placed Cai Youyang on the bed. As he stripped, he said, “Doing. you.”

Cai Youyang: “…”

Cai Youyang’s wet feet left damp traces on the sheets.

Let’s ignore Officer Lu and Teacher Cai’s “private night conversation” first and talk about the child abuse incident in the orphanage that was filed at the Municipal Bureau. Xincheng’s police had been posting updates about the case’s investigation on their microblog, and it caused a network-wide discussion on the difficulty of reinforcing legislative laws concerning child maltreatment.

Although Xincheng’s police exerted great effort to legally shut down Chaoyang Orphanage and distribute the 20 or so children in their care to other welfare organizations, everyone knew that this child maltreatment incident wasn’t some rare or isolated case. How many orphanages were there in the country? And how many orphans were suffering from unfair treatment?

While the netizens were talking about it, Cai Youyang received the composition entitled “The Secrets of Birth” he had asked the students to write. In his students’ works, animal reproduction became an interesting and affectionate matter.

“The emperor penguin risked her old life to force out the eggs from inside her body.”

Cai Youyang circled the word “force” with a red pen and commented, “Very vivid.”

“The group of dolphins fought with one another until they couldn’t even tell who was whose wife… Then all of a sudden, one female dolphin escaped. Unwilling to let her go, a male dolphin chased after her, looking like he wanted to eat her. Oh my God, the male dolphin’s too fierce! He’s about to catch up! No! He caught up!”

Cai Youyang drew a red circle around “no” and commented, “This one word ‘no’ was able to express the inner panic and alarm. Good job.”

“The mother panda gave birth to a baby panda with great difficulty. Her eyes grew moist.”

Cai Youyang shook his head. “It’ll be strange for a mother panda to not cry after giving birth to a baby panda.”

“A tiger and a mountain goat fell in love. The goat cried and said, ‘I can’t get together with you. You’re the king of beasts, while I’m just a little goat. I can’t give you strong offspring. Let me go.’ The old tiger replied, “But I love you. You’re not allowed to go anywhere except beside me.’ The mountain goat was afraid that the tiger would eat her in a rage, so she had no choice but to stay by his side. Meanwhile, the tiger was worried that she would escape, so he would watch her every day, not leaving her for even a moment. Thus, the both of them didn’t have time to eat and died.”

Cai Youyang commented, “Many twists and turns. Very touching but irrelevant to the topic! PS: Have you been reading too many overbearing president novels? Read more classics!”

“In the end, the female praying mantis stared at the male mantis and thought, “This is my husband. Who in this world can love him more than me? But I’m not a young girl, after all. I love my husband, but I love my child more. My child doesn’t have enough food to eat. I need to make a choice. The male mantis seemed to have seen through the female mantis’ thoughts and shouted, “Come and eat me! I’m willing to become the mighty sacrifice!” In tears, the female mantis said, “Go. I’ll find a way.” The male mantis widened his eyes and stared at her for a while before turning and running away. And then, the female mantis revealed a sinister smile. Turns out, she deliberately waited for the male mantis to turn around so that she could strike his weak point. (Did you expect it? Was that a nice surprise?)

Cai Youyang commented, “The first parts are very good. Vividly written and filled with emotion. But the last two sentences are unnecessary and ruin the effect, especially the words inside the parentheses. Write compositions with less internet slang, and don’t insert comments as the author!”

After Cai Youyang finished correcting the compositions, he approached the science teacher, wanting to conduct a class with her to explain the scientific errors in the compositions. After reading several papers, the science teacher punched her hand. “New source material again!”

Cai Youyang: “…” He had chatted with the science teacher a few times and knew that she had a microblog filled with anecdotes. Her microblog was named “Hilarious Gradeschoolers,” where she shared many entertaining short stories. It already had several thousand followers.

Cai Youyang felt like her students’ thoughts probably went like this:

I treat you as a teacher, but you use me to gather followers?
