Teacher Li walked back to her seat.
"Xu Yu, something's happened here, why don't you go up on stage first!"
Xu Yu paused for a moment, then nodded.
"Teacher, what happened?"
Li Wei looked at Teacher Li and asked.
"It's hard to explain right now, so don't wander around after this is over!"
After Teacher Li finished speaking, Xu Yu and Li Wei saw Xia Lan come out with Teacher Wang, and Teacher Wang was also helping Chu Xiaorou, who was limping.
What happened?
The principal saw this and stood up with a cold look in his eyes.
"Principal, it's nothing serious, just leave it to me!"
Director Liu quickly addressed the principal.
"You stay! I'll go!"
The principal pursed his lips, glanced at Xia Lan, and gestured for Director Liu to stay. He then followed Xia Lan and the others to the office.
In the office, Chu Xiaorou complained to the principal about Xia Lan's actions, saying that Xia Lan deliberately stretched out her foot to trip her and make her look foolish in front of the students.
"Principal, you have to stand up for me! Look at my feet, they're all red, swollen, and bruised!"
Chu Xiaorou wiped away her tears, looking extremely pitiful.
Seeing Chu Xiaorou's expression, Xia Lan got goosebumps all over.
"Xia Lan, do you have anything to explain?"
The principal looked at Xia Lan with a gentle expression.
Chu Xiaorou frowned. Why was the principal being so kind to Xia Lan?
"I want to say that I had just stepped onto the first step and was about to step onto the second step!"
Xia Lan demonstrated her actions to the two of them directly.
"She said I was going to trip her. At the time, my right foot was on top, so if I wanted to trip her, I would have to extend my right foot..."
As soon as Xia Lan demonstrated her movements, everyone present immediately understood.
"You can't trip her; if you do, you'll fall yourself."
Teacher Wang said earnestly.
Xia Lan nodded.
"I was just walking uphill normally when suddenly a foot stretched out under my feet, so I stepped on it directly. All my weight was on my right foot, which is why it stepped so hard."
Xia Lan's explanation made Chu Xiaorou's face turn pale.
The matter was already very clear. The principal turned to look at Chu Xiaorou, staring at her expressionlessly.
"Chu Xiaorou, what about you? Do you have anything to explain? Specifically, explain why your feet are at Xia Lan's feet?"
The principal has already deduced what Chu Xiaorou did, and now he needs to give her a chance to explain.
Why do this?
Today is an exchange meeting between the two schools, which is a very important day for both schools.
Chu Xiaorou's decision to do this today is a huge loss for both the school and the students.
The principal was furious and waited for Chu Xiaorou to explain.
But Chu Xiaorou didn't dare to speak up right now!
"I...I..."
Chu Xiaorou, her face pale, covered her face helplessly and cried bitterly.
Xia Lan looked at Chu Xiaorou and stepped forward slowly.
"I think I know why you're targeting me! It's because I stole Qin Yu from you! He went on a blind date with you first, but he didn't choose you! So I understand why you hate me!"
Xia Lan's words stunned Teacher Wang and the principal present.
"But I'm not here today for personal matters, but for an exchange meeting between our two schools, so I'm ignoring your targeting!"
"However, you're just clueless. What kind of day is today that you have to do this? You want to outdo me in everything, and you're even willing to hurt yourself just to frame me?"
The principal's face immediately darkened.
"Is that so, Chu Xiaorou?"
"That's not true! Principal, I didn't! She's lying! I just tripped by accident!"
Chu Xiaorou shook her head frantically, denying that she had done it on purpose.
Xia Lan looked at Chu Xiaorou.
"Chu Xiaorou, some things can't be proven by your words alone! They need to be proven by facts!"
"I already know about this. Leave the rest to me! Xia Lan, I will explain this to your principal myself! I'm so sorry, I almost misunderstood you!"
The principal said to Xia Lan with deep apology.
"Teacher Wang, why don't you take Xia Lan home first?"
"Xia Lan, come with me!"
Teacher Wang came to Xia Lan's side, led her back to the meeting hall.
Teacher Li had just reported the matter to the principal when she saw Teacher Wang bring Xia Lan back!
"Is this... explained clearly?"
Teacher Li looked at Xia Lan, and Xia Lan smiled.
"It's been explained clearly. It has nothing to do with Xia Lan; it's Chu Xiaorou's fault! The principal will personally explain this to your school's principal!"
Teacher Wang explained on Xia Lan's behalf.
"Thanks!"
Teacher Li nodded.
It's good that you're alright.
They returned to their seats with Xia Lan, just as the exchange meeting was coming to an end, and Xia Lan was the last to go on stage.
Xia Lan slowly walked onto the stage, looking down at the vast number of students below.
"I'm very happy to be standing here today and share some of my thoughts with you."
Xia Lan smiled at everyone.
"1978 is a year I will never forget! We were the first batch of college students since the reform and opening up!"
"More importantly, in this year, China embarked on reform and opening up, bidding farewell to the planned economy."
"Therefore, this year is a special year! It is a turning point, a coordinate, and a milestone."
"...I believe that with the efforts of our generation, our country will get better and better!"
