On the Internet.
It had been a rather harmonious day so far. Confessions were happening all over Weibo. On Tieba, there were mostly threads relating to Valentine's Day being posted. The general mood of the forums were reflective of the loving mood everywhere else. Perhaps because of the past few days of incidents resulting in messy topics, war of words, and fighting, the general mood on today's internet environment was rather peaceful. The netizens were also getting along very well.
But this peace had only lasted for a short while.
At some time past 10 AM, someone broke the news on Weibo.
"Extra, extra! Live from the venue! Zhang Ye made a surprise appearance at the International Math Olympiad held at Summer Palace! The Mathematics world has been scolded! And the current situation is in chaos! It's difficult to know what's going on anymore over here!"
"Ha?"
"I'm gonna faint!"
"Are you serious?"
"What? Teacher Zhang is up to something again?"
