Chapter 082 【Public Enemy】

Through their previous interactions, Gu Feng had vaguely sensed that Hu Hua had a problem with him. Originally, he hadn’t intended to get involved in what happened today, but Qi Hui was a decent person, and Gu Feng didn’t want to see him embarrassed, so he stepped up to help.

Now, hearing Hu Hua’s words, he released his grip, though his expression remained largely unchanged.

Seeing that Hu Hua was refusing to back down, Qi Hui also snapped: “Damn it, Hu, you think you’re tough, huh? Bring it on, I’ll fight you today!”

As he spoke, Qi Hui rolled up his sleeves, his chubby face flushed red with anger.

Seeing Qi Hui determined to pick a fight, Hu Hua started to have second thoughts. However, he just snorted defiantly, “Qi, you’ll pay for this.” With that, Hu Hua shot a fierce glare at Gu Feng and stormed out of the office in a huff.

Seeing Hu Hua back down, Qi Hui couldn’t help but curse, “You bet I’ll remember! Come at me if you think you’re hard enough!”

“Teacher Hu crossed a line!”

“Exactly! Teacher Qi was only kidding around!”

“Did you see how he looked like he was about to hit Teacher Gu earlier? That’s just too much!”

…

For a moment, the other teachers in the office started giving Hu Hua shit. Although Xia Wei didn’t voice her disapproval, she looked pissed. Clearly, Hu Hua’s actions had made her dislike him even more.

Despite the criticism from the other teachers, Qi Hui was still fuming. He glanced at Gu Feng, who was sitting in his chair, walked over, and said, “Teacher Gu, I’m really sorry.”

Seeing Qi Hui’s apologetic look, Gu Feng smiled nonchalantly and said, “No worries.”

Under normal circumstances, Qi Hui might have joked around with Gu Feng and chatted for a while. But now, he was in a foul mood. Hearing Gu Feng’s response, he forced a smile and returned to his seat.

About ten minutes later, Hu Hua returned to the office. Everyone gave him the cold shoulder as he entered.

Instead of flying into a rage like before, Hu Hua merely glared sinisterly at Gu Feng and Qi Hui.

During the third period, Hu Hua walked into the fourth-grade classroom of Class 8, carrying his textbook.

By the time he arrived, the class bell had rung long ago, but the classroom was still a complete mess.

Already in a bad mood, Hu Hua slammed his book onto the desk at the sight of the disorder and shouted, “Are you all deaf? Didn’t you hear the bell?”

The students, who had been chatting, were shocked silent by Hu Hua’s outburst!

Yes, stunned!

Almost everyone widened their eyes, looking at Hu Hua as if he were an alien.

In the memories of the students in Class 8, Grade 4, Hu Hua had never yelled at them like that before. In fact, to avoid conflict, he usually ignored their disruptions during class.

“Is he off his meds?”

“Definitely, and by an outhouse door at that!”

“Calm down, calm down. I think Teacher Hu is just in a shitty mood,” Tian Tao spoke up, his usual smug smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

“What does his bad mood have to do with us?”

“Exactly! Why take it out on us?”

…

For a moment, the classroom of Class 8, Grade 4 turned into a zoo, with no one paying any attention to Hu Hua.

Already feeling terrible, Hu Hua grew even angrier when he saw the students looking at him as if he were a clown. Shaking with rage, he raised his hand, his yellowish finger pointing several times in the air before finally landing on Yang Bing. “You… what did you say?”

From the beginning until now, Yang Bing hadn’t said a word about Hu Hua. In Yang Bing’s eyes, Hu Hua was nothing but a clown, not even worth insulting.

Seeing Hu Hua point at him, Yang Bing frowned slightly and said, “Could you please take that disgusting finger away? You’re hurting my eyes.”

Hearing Yang Bing’s words, everyone turned their attention to Hu Hua’s finger.

Due to years of smoking, Hu Hua’s fingers were somewhat yellowish, with dark stains under his fingernails.

“That’s so disgusting!” Guan Mingyue, who always cared about appearances, pretended to vomit at the sight of Hu Hua’s fingers.

Hearing Guan Mingyue’s comment, Hu Hua immediately went ballistic.

With reddened eyes, he rushed to Guan Mingyue’s side and asked in a hoarse voice, “What did you just say?”

Although Guan Mingyue was sharp-tongued, seeing Hu Hua in such a furious state made her nervous, and for a moment, she clammed up.

From the back of the room, Ling Wei stood up abruptly and said, “Hu, if you dare lay a finger on her, I’ll make sure you spend a few days in the hospital.”

Guan Mingyue and Ling Wei were tight, so naturally, Ling Wei was furious when he saw Hu Hua about to hit her!

Ling Wei listened to Gu Feng for his own reasons. Moreover, the fact that the other students in Class 8, Grade 4 respected Gu Feng didn’t mean they respected the other teachers in the school. Hearing Ling Wei’s words, the students all stood up and said, “That’s right, Hu! If you dare hit Guan Mingyue, we in Class 8, Grade 4 will make you regret it!”

Although Hu Hua was on the verge of exploding with anger, the unity of the Class 8, Grade 4 students shook him.

Looking at their angry faces, Hu Hua ultimately didn’t hit Guan Mingyue. He retreated to the front of the podium with a dark expression and said coldly, “No wonder you’re all students taught by Gu Feng. Every one of you is just like a street thug!”

“What’s wrong with street thugs?” Xu Qiang, who had remained silent until now, finally spoke, his dark eyes locked on Hu Hua.

Having once been a thug himself, Xu Qiang never believed thugs were inferior to anyone else. Moreover, Hu Hua’s sarcastic remark about Gu Feng was something he couldn’t stand!

In Xu Qiang’s heart, Gu Feng was not only his teacher but also his benefactor.

Meeting Xu Qiang’s icy gaze, Hu Hua couldn’t help but feel a chill run down his spine.

“Fine! Fine! Fine!” Hu Hua averted his gaze and repeated the word three times before saying, “You’re all so impressive. I, Hu, can’t teach you, alright?” With that, he picked up his book and prepared to leave the classroom.

“If you can’t teach, then get lost! Don’t stand there being disgusting!” Guan Mingyue, who had been badly frightened earlier, couldn’t help but curse as she saw Hu Hua about to leave.

Soon after, amidst the curses and insults from the students of Class 8, Grade 4, Hu Hua fled the classroom in disgrace.

“We can’t let this go,” Yang Bing said once the noise in the classroom had died down a bit. As he spoke, his eyes darted around, clearly scheming something.

“We definitely can’t let this go!” Since the street racing competition, Ling Wei and Yang Bing had grown much closer. Hearing Yang Bing’s words, he chimed in, “Damn it, thinking he can piss all over us? Does he think he’s Teacher Gu?”

In the past, when Class 8, Grade 4 dealt with teachers, Ling Wei usually handled the physical confrontations while Yang Bing came up with the plans. Now that the opportunity for a physical fight was gone, Ling Wei asked, “Yang Bing, got any good ideas?”

Hearing Ling Wei’s question, the other students in the class all turned their expectant gazes toward Yang Bing.

Clearly, Hu Hua had become the public enemy of Class 8, Grade 4, and everyone wanted to see him humiliated.
