Yu Jihui: “A Stinking Old Ninth – A Tale of the Coal Capital” (updated on July 2020)

“Don’t misunderstand me. I like listening to you.

But I’ve got something important to attend to. I must

leave. Excuse me!” With that, Xi Si stood up and

went out, leaving the Commander, Cock and

Elephant behind, at a loss for words. At this point, he

realized that Xi Si was not fond of him at all. He had

rejoiced too soon. He flared up and asked Cock what

the matter was. Cock was scared. He stared at

Elephant, who quickly explained, “Ah, I’m sorry. I

forgot Soapy! She might still have Soapy in her heart!

She must still love Soapy! I forgot about him!”

“Who is Soapy?”

“A sports teacher in our school - a Stinking Old

Ninth!”

“I don’t think her heart could be snatched away

by that guy - a small sports teacher and a Stinking

Old Ninth! If he were a big stone on my way to love,

I would move it away! I swear to obtain her heart.”
