Sticking Up For Her

Thud, thud. The English teacher knocked his pointing stick on Mu Xiaoxiao's table, his face showing delight. He then raised his head and said to everyone, "You should not be like Mu Xiaoxiao, thinking that you don't have to learn English just because you can speak it well. After all, conversations and examinations are not…"

Before he could finish speaking, as he was walking up to the podium, a leg suddenly extended below. As he lifted his head in delight, he didn't see the leg and tripped over it.

He stumbled and nearly fell, but he clung onto the two tables beside him in an embarrassing posture and finally steadied himself.

Some of the students muffled their laughter.

The English teacher looked grim. After he stood steadily, he turned to look at Yu Zhe and said, "You—"

Yu Zhe looked all innocent as he shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm sorry, teacher. I didn't mean it."
