Cai Youyang’s intention in approaching the science teacher was for them to teach together, but he only heard lots of jokes from her. For the next several days, he had a “hahaha” expression on his face. Seeing this, Lu Feng thought he had another dog—ahem, boyfriend outside.
Speaking of which, Cai Youyang should be feeling the pressure to some extent. Although he was only teaching one class, that class was a sixth-grade one after all. They needed to prepare for their middle school entrance examination. In the first monthly exam after the start of the school year, the performance of his class didn’t slip, ranking fourth among the seven classes in the entire grade level. If it were a more enthusiastic teacher, they would find ways to capture their students and have them strive to enter the top three. But Cai Youyang, who possessed no ambition, only knew how to have fun with his students. He had not made any efforts in this direction.
Thus, the vice-principal came and visited him again. He brought him to the side and said, “Teacher Cai, you should be more conscientious when teaching!”
In the past two weeks, Cai Youyang didn’t recall ever escaping the morning run or dozing off at the weekly meeting a second time. Why was the vice-principal criticizing him again?
But once a leader spoke, you could only listen. He didn’t know what he could’ve done wrong, but he still adopted a humble expression that made him appear open to any criticisms and lecturing. While the vice-principal was talking, he only nodded and nothing else.
After listening for a while, he felt like something was wrong. The vice-principal was actually giving him advice on how to steal other classes.
The vice-principal said, “For example, the PE class. What do the graduating classes need PE for? You can talk things over with the PE teacher. He has been exercising all year round and accumulated many old injuries. During today’s PE class, his waist was aching, right? Maybe the day after tomorrow, he’ll get a bone fracture and be forced to take half a month of sick leave. Once the PE class’ slot is free, it is understandable for you, the most leisurely Chinese language teacher, to go be the substitute teacher in a class or two. Yes?”
Cai Youyang replied, “The country has been advocating for an all-rounded education in the past two years, and our school has responded positively to this. Isn’t it not good for me to grab classes this openly?” Was he kidding? Back when he was still studying, the most annoying thing was when the PE teacher was sick.
The vice-principal’s expression hardened. “What grab? I already said it! I said that the PE teacher isn’t in good health. As a young teacher, can’t you be more considerate?” He shook his head, disappointed at him for failing to meet his expectations. “You!” He heaved out a hefty sigh. “There’s no way to talk to you!”
Cai Youyang: “…” He wiped his sweat and stared at the vice-principal’s back as he walked away, thinking “Children, you should thank your Chinese teacher. If it weren’t for your dashing Chinese teacher, your PE teacher would be taking sick leave again.”
Cai Youyang thought this matter was already over. But who would have thought that the extent of the vice-principal’s guts went beyond his imagination?
Today, Teacher Wu walked into the office and asked him to hurry to class. Thinking he remembered wrong, Cai Youyang checked the timetable. He wasn’t wrong. It should be PE right now, not his Chinese class.
But Teacher Wu explained, “You really do have a class. The year-level supervisor announced just today that the entire sports department had collectively asked for a leave of absence.”
Cai Youyang’s eyelids jumped. Subconsciously, he had a hunch that this was the vice-principal’s handiwork.
“Sick leave?” asked Cai Youyang.
“Nope,” replied Teacher Wu.
Cai Youyang breathed a sigh of relief. It would be too humiliating to the sports department if their entire department was made to take a sick leave.
But then Teacher Wu continued, “It’s because of the vice-principal’s proposal. He said that teachers are constantly in sub-optimal health, so it’s necessary to arrange a detailed physical examination for all of us.”
“You already went for a physical examination?”
“Mhmm.”
“When will it be our turn?”
“Probably have to wait until the end of the middle school entrance examination.”
Cai Youyang: “…” All right. He could only be a good boy and go to class.
Thus, Cai Youyang went to the classroom. After entering, he announced that the PE teacher was ill and that he would be taking over their class. Before he could even finish speaking, a lot of wails could be heard from below the platform. Cai Youyang had a bright smile on his face, but on the inside, he felt bad. Could you blame this on him? He didn’t want to do this either. He wanted to sit in the office, eat snacks, and watch dramas. That was the life.

Feeling bitter inside, Cai Youyang could only vent everything to Lu Feng. In response, Lu Feng lectured him. Didn’t the vice-principal say he should be the substitute teacher for PE? Then take the students to the playground. After all, he was substituting in PE class. Although it was a little difficult for a Chinese language teacher to teach physical education, this was the school’s decision. What else could he do as a mere subject teacher?
“Sounds like a good idea,” said Cai Youyang. “But the vice-principal’s probably gonna scold me once he finds out.”
“Nothing to be scared of.”
Cai Youyang was touched.
Then Lu Feng continued, “I’m not the one who’s gonna get scolded anyway.”
Cai Youyang: “…”
Cai Youyang was angry. Officer Lu bought huajia to make amends, but it didn’t work. Thus, Officer Lu couldn’t get into the bedroom, much less onto the bed. He could only put on a submissive attitude and say, “Tell me where the vice-principal lives, and I’ll bring some men to catch him.”
Cai Youyang felt that this couldn’t be possible. Still, he felt better after hearing such nice-sounding words. Although he was still pressing against the door, he was already halfway to yielding. “You liar,” he said in a sweet and happy tone. He looked displeased, but he sounded coquettish.
Lu Feng raised his eyebrows upon seeing that he had actually softened. This spat was originally already settled. Except, the great Officer Lu didn’t know what muscle had been pulled, but he wanted to make trouble.
Lu Feng snapped his fingers and laughed. “You guessed right.”
Cai Youyang: “…”
Cai Youyang kicked Lu Feng out and locked the door with a click.
Lu Feng stared at the closed door, shook his head, and calmly stood up. Afterward, he entered their second bedroom and took a key. Having been shut out once already, he took precautions this time. Could Officer Lu make the same mistake twice? No.
Lu Feng used the key to open the door and crept in, ready to attack Cai Youyang by surprise. But outside his expectations, Cai Youyang had his back turned to him, talking with someone on the phone.
“…Yeah, the first time was painful. Lu Feng and I felt the same. But Lu Feng was careful and concerned for me, so it only hurt for a short while and then I was fine…”
Lu Feng stood behind Cai Youyang, thinking about their first time. Cai Youyang had been sweating from the pain, but he still asked him to continue. Lu Feng’s heart melted. He wanted to give Teacher Cai a hug. He didn’t want to scare him anymore.
But then, Cai Youyang continued, “…You’re too unambitious. Look at me. I’ve attacked Lu Feng a few times…”
Lu Feng: “…” He stepped forward and covered Cai Youyang with his own shadow.
Cai Youyang suddenly felt chilly. He turned to look behind him and was so frightened that his mobile phone just flew out of his hand.
“How did you get in?!” Both of the keys to this room were with him.
Lu Feng bent down and rested a hand on Cai Youyang’s shoulder. With a smile, he said, “It’s getting late. Go to sleep.”
When Cai Youyang saw his terrifying smile, he knew that he had heard everything. Cai Youyang crossed his hands across his chest and stammered, “I… I can explain…”
Lu Feng pushed him flat onto the bed and began unbuttoning him, saying, “Which mouth are you going to use to explain?
Cai Youyang: “…”
The screen of the phone at the tail of the bed flickered twice before it completely went dark. At the other end of the call, Yan Zhi hung up and let out a sigh. Du Wan, who had just finished washing the sheets, hurriedly hugged his shoulders and asked in a warm tone, “Still hurts?”
Yan Zhi shook his head. “I’m fine. It’s Teacher Cai… He did himself in again.”
Cai Youyang’s intention in approaching the science teacher was for them to teach together, but he only heard lots of jokes from her. For the next several days, he had a “hahaha” expression on his face. Seeing this, Lu Feng thought he had another dog—ahem, boyfriend outside.
