The child prodigy tells the audience that he has loved the boy all along, and that he hopes that he will continue to love him even when he is no longer a teacher. He also reveals that the bureau chief of the school has been investigating his conduct, without his consent. The bureau chief, he says, can now give him his reward for the work he has done.
