The exchange student's caretaker was a chubby penguin wearing a t-shirt.
The penguin walked into the room, looked at the well-behaved and honest-looking Xia Chuhe, and then at the walls that had been smashed to pieces.
Xia Chuhe's face was flushed from exhaustion, making her look even more adorable.
The penguin in the T-shirt glanced back and forth between Xia Chuhe and the wall. After a few rounds, it sighed, "Ah~ lift up the shirt."
Xia Chuhe: ...Is the old penguin trying to sexually harass me because he thinks I'm cute?
It's not Xia Chuhe's fault for giving the penguin an "old man" look; it's all because the penguin's undershirt looks too much like an old man's shirt.
Xia Chuhe righteously and firmly refused the penguin's request: "Get lost! The clothes are my skin. Try peeling off your own skin and see what happens."
Penguin: "Ah~ classmate, don't overthink it, I just need to check if you've grown any hair."
Xia Chuhe did a twisting exercise, which felt great and comfortable, without any discomfort from the growing hair.
Xia Chuhe: "It's grown a lot."
The penguin looked at Xia Chuhe's smooth, exposed skin with disbelief. Just then, it noticed a small scab at the corner of Xia Chuhe's mouth.
The penguin moved its feet slightly and instantly teleported close to the face.
Xia Chuhe instinctively threw a punch, aiming straight for the penguin's eye socket.
The penguin casually turned its head to dodge, then raised its short wings to firmly envelop Xia Chuhe's fist.
"Ah~ I'll settle the score with you later, let me look for it..."
The penguin released Xia Chuhe, glanced at the smashed wall, and began to search the ground inch by inch.
It kept searching until it reached the kitchen, and finally found what it wanted by the sink.
A small black feather.
It was pulled from Xia Chuhe.
The penguin examined the feather closely, and after a while laughed, "Ah~ I see, hmph, you little liar."
The penguin strolled up to Xia Chuhe and said, "Ah~ Don't hurt yourself, your teacher will worry. Don't blame me for not reminding you, the differentiation period is only two days. If you don't successfully differentiate after two days, something terrible will happen to you."
The penguin waved its tiny feathers in front of Xia Chuhe's eyes and said, "Ah~ that's all I can do to help you."
Xia Chuhe felt an itch on his eyelids, and when he blinked, he felt a foreign object in his eye, like he had a stye.
Xia Chuhe rubbed her eyes, and a feather scratched her finger, as if showing off.
Xia Chuhe stared at the penguin expressionlessly.
She suddenly raised her hand, pinched the base of the feather, and plucked it.
A slight pulling sensation came from my eyeball.
"Ah~ It'll rip your eyeballs out~" The penguin crossed its arms and watched the spectacle with amusement.
Xia Chuhe ignored him and increased the force in his hand.
His eyelids were pulled open violently, and his eyeballs seemed to be pulled out a little.
The pulling caused pain.
She's insane; she'd rather die than let the copy go as she pleases.
At worst, we can get some renewable injections from Five Star Company.
The penguin's expression changed, and with a flap of its wings, Xia Chuhe's hands were deprived of their strength, hanging limply at his sides.
The penguin muttered to itself, "Ah~ defective products don't fetch a good price."
"Ah~ You're so bad. You lied, disrespected your teachers, damaged public property, and have no sense of public morality, responsibility, or dedication. I'm going to lock you in the dark room. I hope you'll reflect on your actions before I come next time."
The penguin lightly tapped Xia Chuhe's head, and Xia Chuhe's figure suddenly disappeared.
The penguin touched the broken wall and said with pity, "Poor little thing, you've suffered."
A faint humming or whimpering sound came from the wall, like someone being affectionate.
In front of the penguins, the fallen bricks and plaster from the wall slowly grew back onto the wall, as if rewinding a video.
The tattered poster floated back to its original position, the torn parts slowly glued together, and the cracks gradually disappeared.
Everything returned to its original state, as if from beginning to end, this was an empty room inhabited by no birds.
...
Duck shed for laying ducks.
Wang Yan met the duck breeder for the second time.
When the zookeeper first came, he explained the precautions for laying eggs to Wang Yan, corrected Wang Yan's brooding posture, and gently taught Wang Yan how to relieve the discomfort after laying eggs.
Upon seeing its gentle keeper again, Wang Yan found it quite easy to talk to and a good duck.
Wang Yan boldly raised the question: "I am a male duck, how can I lay eggs? Laying eggs is a female duck's job, I can't do it."
"Believe in yourself, anything is possible, nothing is impossible!" The zookeeper's words, spoken with such conviction and clarity, were etched deeply into Wang Yan's mind.
Zookeeper: "You're putting all the responsibility of laying eggs on the mother ducks. What will the mother ducks think of you? What will the pigeons think of you? What will the peacocks think of you? How will you get along at the Birds of Prey Academy? How will you get along at the Animal Academy? When you go out, other animals will point and talk about you. Look, look, it's him, it's that male duck. He doesn't even lay eggs, he just points at other ducks to lay them."
As the keeper described it, Wang Yan seemed to feel the disdainful looks from the other birds. He lowered his head in shame, silently reflecting: Perhaps? Maybe? Possibly? Male ducks really can lay eggs?
The ducks around Wang Yan gathered around with their nests, gazing up at their keeper with bright and reverent eyes.
The keeper's gentle gaze slowly swept over the flock of ducks.
The ducks that met the zookeeper's gaze felt a warmth in their hearts, as if a small boat sailing in a storm had found a harbor. The zookeeper was their support, their guiding light. They would always listen to the zookeeper.
The zookeeper continued to patiently persuade them: "If you don't lay eggs, how will the ducks reproduce? How will they develop? How will they grow stronger? Every egg you lay one less brings the ducks one step closer to extinction. If you never lay eggs, the ducks will eventually become extinct. You must know that you are the hope of the ducks, and your children are the future hope of the ducks! How can you bear to strangle the future hope of the ducks in your own belly?"
