Chapter 283: The Uppercut "Liang Hongyu, you haven't been paying attention in class—you've been whispering to yourself all along, talking about the content of this chapter, 'The Village Beauty 283.' What's going on?" Wai-Neck Roast Chicken strode to the last row of the classroom, fixed Liang Hongyu with a glare, and scowled fiercely, his face flushed with indignation. Liang Hongyu, always a model student, had never been reprimanded by a teacher before. Now, overwhelmed with embarrassment and anxiety, she stammered, "Teacher, I...” "Enough," Wai-Neck Roast Chicken cut her off. "Is someone deliberately talking to you, distracting you from your studies?" He shifted his focus to Lu Yun. "No, it's me," Liang Hongyu replied. Wai-Neck Roast Chicken chuckled coldly. "You? Then go stand outside the classroom for the entire lesson. Come in only when you've figured it out. Otherwise, from now on, you'll be listening to my class from outside." "Me...," Liang Hongyu's eyes glistened with tears, rolling in her眶 as she held the textbook, ready to go stand outside the classroom as Liang had suggested. Hey! What a jerk—you really are being unfair! Lu Yun sprang to his feet, staring directly at Liang. "You just wanted to find a reason to pick a fight with me, didn't you? Then go ahead and come at me—what's so special about bullying a girl?" Lu Yun was fully committed—he'd been so frustrated with his studies, and this dedicated classroom teacher had never treated him well since he'd enrolled. It felt like they were sworn enemies from the very beginning, setting up a long-standing rivalry. If things didn't improve, he might as well just drop out and live with this constant sense of resentment. Lu Yun's passionate response exactly hit the mark of Liang's expectations. Watching the tall, upright student who matched her height, Liang calmly smiled and said, "Lu Yun, how do you mean that? It sounds like I've been specifically targeting you. Have you never considered the consequences of what you just said?" "What consequences? At worst, he can drop out and stop attending classes here—how can you possibly harm me? This entire situation is about the rural beauty, Chapter 283!" Lu Yun stood firm, undeterred by the heated words from the "Crooked Chicken." The whole class was now watching him with wide eyes, especially the male students who had a grudge against him—watching with satisfied amusement, eager for the "Crooked Chicken" to finally knock Lu Yun down with a solid slap. Just as the new student Wang Shiyu, with her graceful features, had always been aware that Lu Yun's current predicament stemmed directly from her own actions. She had intended to speak up in Lu Yun's defense, but seeing the "Crooked Chicken" so furious, she hesitated, her expression now tinged with concern. "Teacher, it's all my fault. I deliberately approached Lu Yun. I'll just go to the corner and stand there as punishment. Please forgive him this time." Liang Hongyu didn't expect Lu Yun to be so furious today. If he continued to argue with his homeroom teacher, she knew she'd have nothing left to offer. Wei-Neck Roast Chicken hadn't anticipated Lu Yun would so publicly challenge her in front of the entire class, and for a moment, she felt embarrassed. Hearing Liang Hongyu's pleading, the simmering anger in her chest instantly turned into sharp, pointed words as she pointed at Liang, saying, "You go stand by the door and stay out of this between me and Lu Yun." Liang Hongyu picked up her textbook, tears finally rolling down her cheeks, and turned to step out. But Lu Yun suddenly grabbed her, firmly pushing her back into her seat, and gritted out, "Wei-Neck Roast Chicken! I told you to have the nerve to challenge me—now your neck is crooked, and your ears are deaf!" Boom! As soon as Lu Yun uttered "Wei-Neck Roast Chicken," the classroom erupted into a commotion. While "Wei-Neck Roast Chicken" was just a behind-the-scenes nickname among students, no one had ever dared to call it out so boldly in front of everyone. The Wobbly-Neck Roast Chicken instantly flushed with embarrassment, shouting, "Lu Yun, if you don't show proper respect to the teacher, don't blame me for treating you unfairly!" Outraged, he summoned his signature move to tackle Lu Yun. Ear-pull! A technique he frequently used and one of his signature strengths—grabbing your ears and twisting them sharply, ensuring you scream in pain. This time, however, Lu Yun had decided to stand his ground. As the hand that had already twisted his ears countless times lunged toward him, he tilted his head slightly and cried, "Hey! You're disciplining students and even hitting them—well, I'm going to fight back!" Then, he countered with a powerful hook punch, landing a solid thud on the Wobbly-Neck Roast Chicken's jaw. The "Wobbly-Neck Roast Chicken," now in his forties or fifties, had the typical frail build of a scholarly teacher—slender and delicate—was sent staggering backward two steps when Lu Yun delivered a solid punch to his chin. With just a slight push from Lei Zi's outstretched arm, he would have surely fallen flat on his back. This content is from Chapter 283 of "Rural Beauty." "Too busy to pick up the textbook that had fallen to the floor, Wai-Ge-Zhe-Shao-ji staggered out of the classroom, heading straight for the office of the old principal of the Education Commission." "Yun-ge, you're too aggressive. Wai-Ge-Zhe-Shao-ji has been waiting for a chance to give you a piece of his mind. If it weren't for me being mindful of my own strength, I'd have already had a fight with him by now," Lei turned to Lu Yun and gave him a big thumbs-up, full of admiration. Shaking his aching right hand, Lu Yun remained expressionless, saying, "Aggressive? I'm actually regretting that punch I gave him now." Though Wai-Ge-Zhe-Shao-ji was thin and frail, resembling a small chicken, his age was no small matter—should he truly have wanted to knock Lu Yun down, Lu Yun would have been no match. Yet after receiving just one punch, Wai-Ge-Zhe-Shao-ji immediately rushed out of the classroom to file a complaint with the Education Commission principal. What a move! Clearly, Wai-Ge-Zhe-Shao-ji was determined to force "You've physically hit the teacher—school will definitely expel you. You can't just bear it, can you?" Liang Hongyu had been stunned by Lu Yun's frantic actions earlier, but only now did she regain her composure, shaking his arm and crying. Lu Yun chuckled softly, "It's not such a big deal. Even if I stop going to school, I'll still love my lovely, intelligent, bright, and lively little Yu—my own little darling." He gently patted her head twice. What a serious mess this has become! While soothing Liang Hongyu, Lu Yun quietly pondered how he could get through this challenge. Having physically confronted the teacher means certain expulsion—he could simply walk away. But now that he's developed a close connection with Little Yu, he absolutely can't ignore her. He needs to go to Xinlan sister—she's the only one who can help him make it through this hurdle. ... xzw Rural Beauty 283, Main Text 283—Updated with the upper punch scene!
