Cao Cuo grew bolder over time. He even stole a few more pots of succulents from Gu Yang, but without fail, he managed to kill every single one.
Feng Jue started calling him the "Succulent Killer."
Gu Yang never told Cao Cuo about his autism. Instead, she quietly worked on helping him manage it.
As a result, Cao Cuo became less withdrawn. However, he soon found himself wrapped up in friendly rivalry with Gu Jin, Feng Jue, and Gu Ying.
Gu Yang noticed the kids were secretly competing with each other. A healthy competition—just what they needed!
With everything running smoothly at the orphanage, Director Liang won first prize in the Liang City evaluation and was awarded 4,000 yuan.
She gave the entire bonus to Gu Yang, knowing that the orphanage's success was largely thanks to her. Gu Yang had taken on many responsibilities, and this reward was well deserved.
