Originally, Zhong Yi planned to go to school early tomorrow morning and find Zhang Xue'er to understand the situation. He lay on the comfortable bed, soft light sprinkling across the room, while Zhong Yi's mind was still pondering how to properly handle this thorny matter. He thought of Liu Shihan's aggrieved appearance, then thought of Yan Ziyou's complex situation after being suddenly arranged as class representative, and couldn't help feeling worried. As he thought and thought, fatigue gradually approached, and Zhong Yi gradually fell into dreamland.

But unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, the class group suddenly exploded like a boiling pot. Liu Shihan's father, after socializing until midnight, dragged his exhausted body back home, drunk.

Liu Shihan's mother saw her husband return and hurriedly went to meet him, helping him take off his coat while saying softly: "You've finally come back. Today our child came back feeling very aggrieved."

Liu Shihan's father frowned and asked indistinctly: "What happened?"

Liu Shihan's mother continued: "Shihan was removed as English class representative. You say how heartbroken this child must be."

Upon hearing this, Liu Shihan's father's explosive temper flared up at once. His face flushed red, anger flashing in his eyes, he shouted loudly: "What am I killing myself outside for? Isn't it for the child, for the family? Now my daughter actually suffered such a huge grievance at school, how can this be tolerated!" Immediately he took out his phone and started clamoring in the group, demanding Zhang Xue'er give him a reasonable explanation.

Zhong Yi had just fallen asleep when he heard his phone ding-dong once. He originally didn't mind it, turned over, thinking maybe someone sent a wrong message. But unexpectedly, the subsequent ding-dong sounds came incessantly, making it impossible for him to sleep. Zhong Yi had no choice but to pick up his phone and check, discovering it was Liu Shihan's father questioning Zhang Xue'er in the group. The wording was fierce, one message after another.

"Teacher Zhang, why did you remove my daughter as class representative? What did she do wrong? My daughter has always been excellent; doing this is too unfair!"

"You must give us a reasonable explanation! You can't just let the child suffer grievances without any clarity."

Later, perhaps feeling text wasn't satisfying enough, Liu Shihan's father escalated to voice messages, continuing the bombardment.

"Teacher Zhang, my daughter has always worked hard; you can't be this unfair! She contributed so much to the class, how can you just remove her like that?"

"You must give me an answer today, otherwise I won't let this rest! I want justice for my daughter."

"Teacher Zhang, I really can't understand why you removed my daughter's English class representative position. My daughter Liu Shihan has always been very hardworking, serious and responsible toward her studies, and devoted to class affairs. To be a good class representative, she invested a lot of time and energy. Do you know how big a blow it is to her that you removed her without any reason?"

At this point, a parent couldn't help but speak up: "It's the middle of the night, can you not make noise? Everyone needs to rest. Can't whatever problem wait until tomorrow? Making such a racket that people can't have peace."

Another parent also said: "Yeah, even if there's a problem you shouldn't make such an uproar in the group, disturbing everyone. But having said that, the teacher suddenly removing the class representative is indeed inappropriate; there should be an explanation."

Still other parents said: "Everyone calm down. Good communication can solve problems; quarreling like this isn't a solution."

Zhang Xue'er saw the messages in the group and felt a wave of panic in her heart.

She hurriedly replied in the group: "All parents, sorry to disturb everyone's rest. Regarding removing Liu Shihan as class representative, I also considered it. I just wanted to give more classmates some opportunities, let everyone get exercise. I know this might make Liu Shihan feel some grievance, but I'm also thinking of the class as a whole. Hope everyone can understand."

Liu Shihan's father heard Zhang Xue'er's explanation and became even angrier. "Teacher Zhang, what kind of reason is this? For the sake of the class as a whole you can just sacrifice my daughter's efforts? Her contributions are worth nothing? This is simply irresponsible behavior. I demand you immediately restore my daughter's class representative position and apologize to her, otherwise I will report this to the school."

Zhong Yi watched the messages constantly jumping in the group, his brows knitted so tight they could crush a fly.

He was secretly annoyed in his heart; this Zhang Xue'er really can't accomplish anything but can ruin everything. How could she handle this matter so rashly?

Now the class group is in an uproar, parents joining the argument one after another — what to do? Zhong Yi deeply knew this matter must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise it would snowball, growing larger and more troublesome.

Zhong Yi first picked up the phone and quickly dialed Zhang Xue'er's number. The moment the call connected, Zhong Yi said sternly: "Zhang Xue'er, don't speak anymore. Look at what a mess you've made of things? Now shut up immediately and wait for tomorrow when we'll handle it together."

Zhang Xue'er on the other end had just responded aggrievedly with a sound before Zhong Yi hung up.

Next, Zhong Yi picked up the phone and called Liu Shihan's father.

The ringtone in the silent night seemed especially piercing; Zhong Yi's heart was also somewhat uneasy. After the call connected, Zhong Yi tried to use a calm tone: "Hello, I'm Teacher Zhong. Let's not quarrel in the group anymore; that won't solve the problem. Tomorrow morning come to school together, we'll resolve this face to face, and stop affecting others."

Liu Shihan's father was originally still furious, but under Liu Shihan's mother's admonition, he finally gave Zhong Yi a bit of face.

He hmphed and said: "Fine, then we'll talk tomorrow. But if you don't give me a satisfactory answer, I absolutely won't let this rest."

Zhong Yi breathed a sigh of relief, then @-ed everyone in the group and said: "All parents, rest early, don't quarrel anymore. Tomorrow we'll properly resolve this problem. Also, Tian Yulan's parent please come to school tomorrow as well."

Actually Tian Yulan had been paying attention to the group messages all along, but she didn't speak.

Because in her eyes Liu Shihan's father was a hard-to-deal-with character; in Tian Yulan's words, a rogue. She felt speaking more was useless; anyway her son had already become English class representative, the teacher couldn't go back on their word, right?

Tian Yulan watched the group gradually quiet down, and in her heart was also scheming how to respond when she went to school tomorrow.
