When the Stand-in returned home after the exam the next day, he found that White Moonlight’s luggage was gone. He asked the President what was going on. The President only said that he had gone back and didn’t say anything more.
Seeing the President’s preoccupied appearance, the Stand-in expected that he would have an unfavorable affection for White Moonlight.
In order to comfort the President, the Stand-in dinner was specially made with the President’s favorite olive oil mixed with vegetable leaves.
The President’s body fiercely shook the moment he saw green leaf seed on the table, but he didn’t say anything, and ate silently.
After the big rabbit finished eating the leaves, Stand-in served another table of the President’s usual favorite food.
Dinner was eaten with no leftovers.
Since the last time the President paid him a bonus to pay off his debts, Stand-in and the President have never had done it. Thinking that he was busy with exams and had neglected his work; he felt uneasy and went to the President’s room at night.
However, the President didn’t let him do anything, just hugged him and slept all night.

The President gave the Stand-in a gift first before the exam results came out.
Referring to the list of gifts sent by other presidents to their lovers, he ordered several new clothes for Stand-in, and also gave Stand-in a watch.

The President informed the Stand-in of his advanced training courses, first-class teachers, and small classes. The Stand-in is the first to come and the last to leave every class. He studied extremely seriously.
Because of this, there were two times when he left late and ran into traffic jams, arriving home when the President had already left work. He had no choice but to hastily place a bowl of noodles or order takeout.
He felt very guilty about it and gave a serious apology to the President, promising that there would be no third time.
The President, however, was not at all grumpy and asked if he needed a ride.
He hasn’t lost his temper once. Seeing that he was doing well in the training class, he asked him if he would like to enroll in a more advanced class.
His off-work time is one o’clock in the morning, but recently at ten o’clock in the evening, the President asked him to get off work early and go back to his room to study.
One night, when he went out to fetch water, he found that the President was not at home. He thought that the president had gone to work overtime. After a while, he found out that the President had gone out to buy supper, just because he casually said during dinner that he wanted to have a barbecue…
It’s a pity that White Moonlight doesn’t like the President.
On one hand, the Stand-in felt sorry for White Moonlight for being a substitute, and was faintly uneasy on the other. The President treats him so well. Is he trying to dismiss him…

The exam results are out. The Stand-in passed all four subjects with high scores.
The President hadn’t gotten off work yet, and the Stand-in sent the results to White Moonlight as soon as possible.
White Moonlight replied in seconds, “What is there to be happy about? Can’t anyone pass such an easy exam?”
Stand-in: “Why hasn’t Teacher X slept yet? Isn’t it midnight in your place?”
White Moonlight sent a “roll” expression and then ignored him.
The Stand-in also knew that this exam could not be simpler in the eyes of top students like White Moonlight and the President. But for an out-of-school scumbag like him, it is not easy to pass the exam.
Therefore, when the President returned home, he couldn’t help but jump into his arms and pull him to dance ecstatically again.
Halfway through the jump, he found that he had overstepped. The Stand-in immediately put away his smile and calmly said, “Sorry, I overstepped.”
The President didn’t care; he just said, “You smile, I like your smile.”
The Stand-in still had that cautious expression, and the President didn’t force him, saying: “Today is a big auspicious day, we must have a good meal. ”
The Stand-in said: “It’s not really something to celebrate…”
President: “But I am happy, I am proud of you, and I have to celebrate.”
The Stand-in ended up being taken to a fancy restaurant by the President.
The candles were lit on the table, and someone was playing a violin. The Stand-in became uneasy again.
Sure enough, halfway through the meal, the President spoke.
