Gao Wu: Ten years of sparring experience, one move and the world knows him.

Chapter 83 I'll spank you when I get back (5k views)
Zhao Jincheng was furious, but it was all for naught.

Not only did he fail to hit Zhao Rui, but he also got a severe scolding from his own father.

The implication was practically a direct statement: How did I end up raising such a worthless piece of trash?

Your son is much better than you!

With his father speaking, Zhao Jincheng readily agreed, and everyone sat down at the table, chatting and laughing.

He didn't really want to beat Zhao Rui up; he was just genuinely a little scared.

Swords and spears have no eyes, and guns and cannons have even fewer eyes.

If you get bumped or bruised, it will be too late to regret it.

What parent doesn't worry and feel sorry for their son?

His outburst was, in effect, an expression of his wife's grievances: all these years, you've been mocking and ridiculing our family.

And look what happened, it was my son who saved you! How shameless of you!

The "deceit and intrigue" between brothers and sisters-in-law did not prevent the "clinking of glasses and harmonious atmosphere" at the New Year's Eve dinner.

However, the drinking incident had nothing to do with Zhao Rui and the younger generation.

These people had finished eating early and went to the west room next door to play tablet games.

The orange-yellow tungsten filament lamps emitted a dim light, casting a silhouette of time in the courtyard through the mottled old windows.

In the old courtyard, the noisy conversations of adults and the playful shouts of children mingled together, echoing into the night sky.

The night was clear and cold, the bright moon hung in the sky, and on the vast earth, thousands of lights were shining. Suddenly, the sound of firecrackers rose up and echoed through the sky, and then fireworks lit up the earth.

……

In the third year of junior high school, Zhao Rui's family returned to Lincheng and visited his maternal grandmother's house during that time.

Zhao Rui's family was already close to his maternal grandparents' family, and since everyone on his maternal grandparents' side was an ordinary person, with only Zhao Rui as a martial arts student, they naturally valued him highly.

The excitement was palpable.

As for why he came back so early, the reason is simple: Zhao Jincheng has to go back to work on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

We had a three-and-a-half-day holiday for the Chinese New Year.

After returning home and resting for two days, it was already the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.

There were many things to do that day. First, the Huasheng Club opened, and there was a class in the afternoon.

She was a middle-aged woman who was newly added at the end of the year. She was good-looking and had a mature woman's charm. Unfortunately, time takes its toll, and her skin texture and firmness could no longer compare with those of a young girl.

You asked how Zhao Rui knew?
As a coach, can you only use your mouth?

Secondly, it was also the day of our high school reunion. Everyone was extremely enthusiastic, and the group chat became lively right after the New Year.

I can't wait until the sixth day of the lunar new year.

It's the first year, so everyone's desire to reunite is especially strong, which is understandable. It will gradually fade over time.

After having lunch at home in the afternoon, Zhao Rui rushed to the Huasheng Martial Arts Competition Club.

The young woman had changed into a light, tight-fitting outfit early on and was waiting in the shop.

Upon seeing Zhao Rui arrive, her bright and sparkling eyes never left him.

Zhao Rui felt uneasy looking at her. If he had known that this woman was lusting after his good looks, he would never have taught her.

"Sister Shen, Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year, Xiao Zhao! Your sister brought you a gift. See if you like it."

As she spoke, the young woman, Sister Shen, took out a square-shaped packaging box from her handbag.

With delicate hands, she gently opened the box. Under the light, a dazzling light flashed, captivating all who saw it.

"Do you like the Belleville watch?"

"..."

Zhao Rui's expression was extremely complicated; this thing was worth over 200,000 yuan.

I never imagined my appearance would be worth so much.

Thank you, Sister Shen, for your affirmation and for your generous gift.

I am ashamed!
"Sister, I can't accept this gift."

Zhao Rui quickly refused.

"Xiao Zhao, don't overthink it. This is just a small token of my appreciation. I consider you my younger brother."

God's fucking brother.

Looking at the woman's delicate appearance, Zhao Rui couldn't help but shake his head inwardly. If only she were twenty years younger...

"I said no, and that means no. If you keep doing this, Sister Shen, I'll have no choice but to stop teaching you."

Zhao Rui said righteously.

"Okay, okay, since you don't want the watch, I'll treat you to dinner tonight. I heard there's a newly opened Western restaurant that's pretty good."

"I have a class reunion tonight, sorry, Sister Shen, let's go to class instead."

After saying that, Zhao Rui assumed a starting stance and looked at the woman.

"classmate reunion?"

Sister Shen was taken aback for a moment, then asked curiously, "Where?"

"I can't tell you that now, Sister Shen. I'm about to make my move."

After Zhao Rui finished speaking, he thrust his hammer straight at him.

Seeing this, Sister Shen smiled charmingly and quickly made a move to block the attack. The two exchanged blows, fighting back and forth.

"The replication progress of the Thousand Willow Sleeves Technique is 80% complete..."

As time went on, the copying progress bar in Zhao Rui's mind slowly increased.

This time, he practiced for an exceptionally long time, basically spending the entire lesson sparring, determined not to give the woman a chance to speak.

"Alright, Sister Shen, that's all for today's lesson. There are many problems with your moves. I'll go back and study them, and I'll help you correct and analyze them in the next lesson."

As soon as get out of class ended, Zhao Rui couldn't wait to announce the end of the lesson.

"Oh dear, Xiao Zhao, you've made me sore all over. You're such a clueless straight man who doesn't know how to be gentle with women."

"..."

Although Zhao Rui had absorbed the memories of the old man from his previous life, he was still forced to flee in disarray by this woman's actions.

After leaving the martial arts school, he calmed down for a while before riding his bicycle to the Pullman Hotel.

This gathering was organized by Wang Han, a martial arts prodigy from our class who used to flirt with the teacher.

This guy comes from a powerful family; he sponsored the entire dinner at the Pullman Hotel, which is quite generous.

After speeding all the way, Zhao Rui arrived at the hotel lobby and immediately spotted his classmates gathered in the lobby rest area.

By this time, quite a few people had arrived, both men and women, and Wang Han was surrounded by them like a star.

Beside him was the beautiful teacher who had previously taught them history.

Holy crap, so they're just dropping the pretense now?
"Brother Rui, it's been a long time!"

Upon seeing Zhao Rui arrive, some of his close classmates immediately stood up to greet him.

Zhao Rui smiled and chatted with the group for a bit, then walked up to the teacher, greeted him, and sat down in an empty seat in the rest area.

"Zhao Rui, you have such good grades, why did you decide to give up martial arts? It's such a pity."

Just as he sat down, a boy next to him turned his head and said something, seemingly casually.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately remembered that although Zhao Rui had applied to Dongqi University, he was no longer a martial arts student.

Immediately, everyone's expressions turned strange.

It's quite a bit like watching a genius fall from grace, after all, Zhao Rui was one of only three level-four martial arts students in his class when he graduated.

"Nothing to regret."

Zhao Rui smiled and replied casually.

"Oh dear, how can it not be a pity? If I had your level back then, I would have applied to Jeju University (a regular key university in the province)."

Another person said regretfully.

"Unfortunately, I'm only at level four now; it's already too late."

That statement has a slightly boastful tone.

"You're already at level four? That's amazing. I'm still at level three. Our school is so rubbish. What kind of crappy martial arts are they? The progress is too slow."

"What's that compared to Wang Han? He's already at level six! Impressive, right!"

At this moment, a classmate next to Wang Han quickly spoke up, his tone full of pride, as if he were the one who had passed the Level 6 exam.

"Wow, Wang Han, it really is you! You're amazing! Dongqi Normal University, as expected of a long-established key undergraduate university."

"Wang Han is just more talented!"

Instantly, everyone's attention turned to Wang Han.

Wang Han laughed heartily, forcing a humble smile: "Just lucky, just lucky. I'm nowhere near as good as Luo Min."

At this moment, he seemed to have finally emerged from the shadow of failing the college entrance examination and being "ignored" by his classmates.

He was still the pride of his class.

"That's right, the best in our class is Luo Min. She's an eighth-level master who's qualified to participate in the university martial arts competition."

Why hasn't she arrived yet?

"It's on its way, it'll be there soon."

The conversation immediately shifted back to Luo Min, and everyone was talking about him with great enthusiasm.

Zhao Rui leisurely looked at his phone, not even bothering to listen.

After a while, a plump figure appeared at the door, followed by two petite figures.

Who else could be so fat but Yang Fan?

"Haha, everyone's here so early!"

"Oh, teacher, you've become even more beautiful."

Yang Fan grinned and greeted everyone, still with his usual carefree attitude.

After greeting him, he turned and walked towards Zhao Rui.

But before he could even walk over, two beautiful figures following behind him had already arrived in front of Zhao Rui.

"Zhao Rui, it's been a long time!"

The one speaking was naturally Sun Tiantian.

"long time no see!"

Zhao Rui greeted Sun Tiantian and Xiaoxue with a smile. "Oh dear, I went through all that trouble to pick you up, and it turns out you're still closer to Zhao Rui. I despise you!"

Yang Fan chuckled and teased from behind.

The four of them seemed to be transported back to the time of their graduation, and couldn't help but laugh.

In the following ten minutes or so, several main substitute teachers and some students also arrived in time.

Naturally, everyone exchanged pleasantries and greetings once again.

"Everyone get ready, Luo Min is coming soon. Students who are preparing a surprise, take your positions."

After a while, Wang Han looked at the exquisite watch on his wrist, stood up and gave the order.

Upon hearing this, some students immediately got to work.

"You can really pretend!"

Yang Fan couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Zhao Rui and the other two ignored him. This guy had been dissatisfied with Wang Han since the first year of high school, but he only dared to talk about it behind her back, so it was useless.

Although everyone dislikes Wang Han, to be honest, he did do quite well in certain events.

After waiting for another five or six minutes, a graceful figure walked in through the door. Her tall figure and delicate face complemented the luxurious hotel perfectly, making her a sight to behold.

"Luo Min, congratulations!"

A group of classmates took out bouquets, balloons, and banners they had prepared and crowded around her, waving them.

The atmosphere was absolutely explosive.

A bright smile appeared on Luo Min's handsome face.

This is the treatment she deserves.

She, Luo Min, was born to be the center of attention.

"Thank you everyone, thank you everyone!"

Luo Min smiled broadly and thanked everyone.

Sun Tiantian was filled with envy at this scene, and couldn't help but lean close to Zhao Rui and whisper, "If any guy could do this for me, I would definitely marry him!"

"I can, I can!"

Yang Fan chuckled beside him.

"You don't count!"

"..."

Just then, Luo Min, who was surrounded by admirers, suddenly turned around and made way for everyone, saying:
"Let me introduce you to my college classmates, Qi Nana and Han Xingyi. They happened to be visiting me, so I brought them along. I hope you don't mind."

Everyone was taken aback when they heard this, and then they noticed that there were two relatively petite girls following behind Luo Min.

It's just that Luo Min's dazzling light had blinded everyone, so no one noticed.

"Welcome, welcome, welcome to the two beautiful ladies."

Wang Han raised an eyebrow and said generously.

It's just adding two more pairs of chopsticks, but those who can be Luo Min's classmates are all top martial arts talents.

Worth acquaintance.

"Who brings outsiders to a class reunion? Seriously!"

Sun Tiantian muttered under her breath, clearly dissatisfied.

Zhao Rui smiled upon hearing this, reached out and patted her head, signaling her to calm down.

He had seen the two people behind Luo Min a long time ago; Han Xingyi was also a member of the martial arts team.

He naturally recognized him.

Luo Min has a natural charm that draws men and women to her side. Unlike Miao Miaomiao's seductive skills, her charm is purely a personal quality.

It's not surprising at all that her college classmates come to visit her.

However, this has nothing to do with him; they didn't come looking for him.

With Luo Min's arrival, all the guests were present, and they all headed to the private dining room.

There were quite a few people coming, with only a handful of students missing from the entire class, so Wang Hanguang booked two large private rooms.

It can accommodate forty or fifty people.

As the main characters, Wang Han and Luo Min naturally stayed in a private room with the teachers, as well as some other people they were quite familiar with.

Zhao Rui and the others were definitely not included in this group, and they wisely went directly to the private room next door.

"We'll get together on our own from now on."

Sitting down at the dining table, Yang Fan said somewhat unhappily.

"I don't care, as long as someone treats me."

Zhao Rui smiled.

"No bottom line."

Yang Fan spat.

"Zhao Rui, if you were still a martial arts student, you should be sitting at a table with the teachers right now."

A boy standing nearby said with a hint of regret.

"What difference does it make where you eat? Is the food there expensive?"

Zhao Rui smiled.

Upon hearing this, the boy smiled dismissively, thinking to himself, "You're just being stubborn now; you're probably regretting it to death inside."

When people are reunited after a long separation, even those who don't usually talk much can chat for a bit.

New school, new environment, the experience of parting – there are so many things to talk about.

Before I knew it, I'd downed three bottles of ice-cold beer.

"The teacher is here! Everyone stand up!"

Just then, the door was opened from the outside, and several teachers walked in with a few students, all smiles.

"Students, I am very happy to have the honor of teaching such a group of outstanding children like you..."

As the teacher gave an emotional speech, some of the girls even unconsciously shed tears.

After the teacher finished speaking, everyone raised their glasses and drank together.

After the teacher finished drinking and was about to leave, Luo Min suddenly walked gracefully up to Zhao Rui, her smile already appearing before she even arrived.

"Zhao Rui, I was wondering where you were. Long time no see, you never come to watch our matches."

The woman's slightly annoyed manner of speaking made it seem as if they were very familiar with each other.

"I have faith in you!"

Zhao Rui chuckled and casually laughed it off.

Luo Min smiled brightly, then suddenly leaned forward and whispered in Zhao Rui's ear in a barely audible voice, "I'm sure I can beat you this time!"

Zhao Rui smiled without changing his expression. Instead of backing down, he moved even closer to her fair cheek and said, "You're such a troublemaker, you're going to get a spanking when we get back to school!"

"you……!"

Luo Min was surprised by his bluntness, and her pretty face immediately turned red, as if she were drunk.

She then smiled sweetly, turned around, and walked out.

Their actions surprised everyone present, leaving them stunned for a moment.

Especially Wang Han, who was standing at the door, was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned ashen.

Despite his hard work, he didn't receive such affectionate treatment from Luo Min.

How could Zhao Rui, a martial arts student who dropped out halfway through his career, deserve such treatment?
He couldn't help but give Zhao Rui a cold look, then returned to his private room with a smile.

"Zhao Rui, you still say you're not familiar with Luo Min! You two are about to kiss."

Even Yang Fan no longer believed Zhao Rui's claim that he had no connection with Luo Min.

I feel so badly betrayed by my best friend!

"Being close to the water tower gives you a head start! It has to be Zhao Rui! He'd rather give up martial arts to go to Dongqi University. Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!"

One boy's words instantly dispelled everyone's doubts about Zhao Rui giving up martial arts.

That's it!

Zhao Rui never expected that people's thought processes could be like this, but thinking about it, it seemed quite reasonable.

"If I said no, would you believe me?"

"Tch, don't act all innocent after getting the benefit. When are you going to make it official?"

One of the girls pouted and said.

In their eyes, although Zhao Rui was good before, he was still quite a bit inferior to Luo Min.

Moreover, he's not even a martial arts student yet.

I don't know what Luo Min saw in him!

"If you don't believe me, then forget it!"

Zhao Rui was too lazy to say anything more and started eating his meal by himself.

Seeing his indifferent expression, Sun Tiantian immediately understood and gestured towards him with her lips, as if to say:
"I believe you, but you wouldn't even look at Luo Min!"

It's true that only people who like you will think you're perfect in every way and that no one else is good enough for you.

This little incident didn't stay a hot topic for long, as people didn't want to talk about it.

Besides jealousy, there was also resentment, and besides resentment, there was also feeling sorry for Luo Min.

A wide variety of emotions were expressed.

Soon everyone started chatting about other things.

After eating for about an hour and a half, everyone was full and satisfied. After seeing the teachers off, Wang Han suddenly suggested that they go for a second round.

The boys perked up immediately upon hearing this: Singing? Or soaking their feet?
It's not appropriate to have girls around!

"We're all martial arts students, and it's rare for us to get together like this. How about we have a sparring match to reminisce? We can also see what Miss Luo is capable of. What do you all think?"

Facing the expectant gazes of the crowd, Wang Han exhaled a breath of alcohol and spoke loudly.

After hearing the first part, the boys rolled their eyes, showing absolutely no interest in the suggestion.

But when they heard the second half, they all became incredibly excited, as if they'd been injected with adrenaline.

Shouting that it was a great idea!
So everyone followed Wang Han toward the martial arts training ground he owned.

Zhao Rui wasn't interested in the suggestion at all. Just as he was about to leave with Yang Fan and the other two, he saw Wang Han and Luo Min walking over together.
