Cui Yu: "It's too much trouble."
"I have a plan to speed things up for you guys."
Dan Kaiquan, famished and uncomfortable, upon hearing this, asked, "You have a way?"
Cui Yu's face lit up with a smile, "Indeed, I do. All I have to do is leave the school now, order the dishes for you, have the chef start cooking in advance, and by the time you get there, you can eat without waiting in line."
Wang Longlong: "So the question is, how do we get out of the school?"
Cui Yu laughed, his mouth askew, "A clever person like me, of course, has a way."
"The mystery lies in this gate!"
The playground gate was simple, the most rudimentary large iron gate, rectangular, with iron bars running down the middle.
Wang Longlong looked at the gaps between the iron bars and compared them with Cui Yu's frame, his tone uncertain:
"Could it be, Brother Cui, you?"
"You might not believe it, but I used to practice the Bone Shrinking Skill."
Ma Shicheng thought he was unreliable; Cui Yu's whims were anything but ordinary.
He tried to dissuade him, "Brother Cui, let's forget it, we should leave."
Cui Yu: "Hahaha, Brother Ma, you guys just watch and learn!"
"Today I'm going to show you what's called a Jianghu secret technique!"
Wang Longlong: "I feel this is sketchy."
Cui Yu taught, "The reason you feel unstable is that you don't understand."
"The Bone Shrinking Skill I practiced allows my body to pass through anywhere my head can fit."
Confident to the brim, Cui Yu bent over and stuck his head through the gap in the iron bars:
"Watch closely, this will be good!" His face full of smugness.
He squeezed through with effort, and then, damn, he got stuck.
Cui Yu's expression changed; he quickly tried to back out but ended up wedged in the gap.
He propped his arms on the bars and struggled to pull his head out, but it wouldn't budge, struggling for a full minute, his forehead sweating profusely.
Dan Kaiquan, Wang Longlong, Guo Kunnan, and the others exchanged glances.
In the end, it was Brother Ma who tentatively asked, "Cui Yu, what's wrong?"
Cui Yu was no longer boastful; he cried out for help: "Brother Ma, Brother Ma, I'm stuck, please help!"
He was clearly agitated.
Witnessing this scene, Dan Kaiquan couldn't stop laughing and slapped his thigh in amusement.
Guo Kunnan laughed out loud.
Wang Longlong turned away, snickered a couple of times, then turned back.
Dan Kaiquan, while laughing, jabbed, "Didn't you say if your head could get through, the rest of your body could too, Cui Yu?"
Ma Shicheng: "Let's not dwell on that, let's get moving!"
The group was quick to act, Dan Kaiquan grabbing Cui Yu's left leg, Guo Kunnan the right, and Ma Shicheng supporting his upper body.
Cui Yu was suspended horizontally, only his head trapped between two bars, in a rather undignified position.
Wang Longlong had no room to lend a hand, so he cheered from the side.
Dan Kaiquan pulled like he was uprooting a radish, causing Cui Yu to scream in pain: "Stop, stop, stop, damn it hurts!"
"Let's try something different, something different."
The three of them rotated Cui Yu halfway and continued to pull.
Alas, after trying several methods, Cui Yu was still not free.
Wang Longlong puzzled: "Brother Cui, how did you get in there?"
Cui Yu was in despair: "I don't know!"
"Guys, think of something fast!"
"If people start showing up on the playground, I'm done for!"
They quickly brainstormed for a solution, discussing amongst themselves, and then suddenly, Guo Kunnan's brow unfurled, he took a folding fan from Wang Longlong's hand.
He leisurely fanned himself: "Do I have a brilliant plan?"
Wang Longlong: "What does the master propose?"
Guo Kunnan: "In this world, there is an item, known as 'soap'."
"Soap has a lubricating effect, all it takes is to apply soap on Cui Yu's head, and he can be easily pulled out."
Wang Longlong clapped his hands in praise: "How clever, but who has soap?"
