Jiang Ning tore open the iron bars with one hand. As everyone stared in shock, he said gravely, "Don't just stand there. Give me a hand."
Shan Kaiquan reached out to help pull the iron bar, but Ma Shicheng reacted faster. He urged, "Don't help Jiang Ning. Pull Cui Yu out!"
Shan Kaiquan grabbed at Cui Yu's head, only to get a handful of slick, soapy water.
With both hands posed like Tai Chi, Ma Shicheng used some mysterious technique to steady Cui Yu's head and adjust its position.
Watching those moves steeped in ancient charm, Shan Kaiquan could not help praising him.
"Ma Ge, your technique is professional, huh?"
Ma Shicheng multitasked. "This is using softness to overcome hardness in Tai Chi."
The physical education teacher, Gu Wei, was amused.
Guo Kunnan pulled on Cui Yu's leg.
Wang Longlong waved his fan and shouted, "One, two, three, lift!"
Cui Yu howled, "My pants! Don't pull my damn pants!"
Guo Kunnan awkwardly let go. Looking at Master Cui's sagging trousers, his obsessive-compulsive tendencies kicked in, and right in front of all those classmates, he pulled Cui Yu's pants back up a little.
Seeing that the gap Jiang Ning had torn open was wider now, Ma Shicheng gave a push and pressed Cui Yu's head through the horizontal bar.
Long confined in a cage, he was finally returned to nature! Overwhelmed with excitement, Cui Yu felt soaring pride fill his chest and let out a long howl at the sky. "I'm out!"
The howl rang out, drilling into everyone's ears.
Only then did Yu Wen finally shift her fixed gaze away from the twisted iron bars.
When she saw Cui Yu's head covered in soapy water, the shock in her heart turned into a smile.
"Qiqi, look at Cui Yu's head."
