Rural Beauty 01, Scene 01: Lu Yun vs. Lu Xiaoying As the sun sets, the sky is painted crimson. This is the textual content of Chapter 01 of Rural Beauty 01. - Love Pavilion - Read - Love Pavilion - kankankan8 Innocence has three forms; failing to have a successor is the greatest. Lu Feng and his wife discussed it repeatedly and decided to spend money to buy a male infant. Though not their biological child, once raised and grown, he would surely take good care of them in old age. Thus, the couple paid 20,000 yuan to the human traffickers and brought home a baby boy—Lu Yun. Lu Yun, sold by his own parents, had now lost even his stepfather and stepmother, becoming a true orphan. Fortunately, neighbor Zhao San-unc had kindly taken him in, treating him as his own children, supporting him through school. Now at thirteen, Lu Yun has just been admitted to the town's middle school this January—a genuine source of joy for the honest and humble Zhao San-unc. The half bag of wheat on the back seat of Lu Yun's bicycle is his weekly food supply. Pfft! A soft sound, and a white smoke bursts from the rear tire, causing the vehicle to slow down immediately. Lu Yun jumps off, examines the deflated tire, and curses, "You're deliberately making my life difficult, aren't you? I'll kick your bones right out of this rusted old donkey!" With a loud thud, he heaves the already battered bicycle onto the ground. This content is from Chapter 01 of "Rural Beauty." The journey from Cheng Taijian Village to the town's middle school is over fifteen miles—only halfway there so far. Is the rest of the way going to be walked? Lu Yun sat down on the ground, looking at the sky. It would be no more than half an hour until evening classes started. Today, it was the teacher’s class—his very own homeroom teacher, that grumpy old man. Just thinking about the old man’s tricks made Lu Yun nearly cry. The little girl not only looks fresh and lively but also excels academically—she has been Land Yun’s direct superior, class president, throughout her six years of elementary school. Lu Xiaoying furrowed her brows and said, “You’re so heavy, I won’t be able to carry you. And what about my car if I have to take you along?” “I can manage the car myself. Please, Lu Xiaoying—please! If you don’t help me, I’m certain my homeroom teacher will have me in serious trouble.” “I’ll give it a try, but just promise me one thing: if I can’t carry you, you won’t make me carry you against my will,” Lu Xiaoying said with a playful tone. Land Yun excitedly exclaimed, “Of course! How could I let our school’s top beauty do all the heavy lifting?” She lifted her iron bicycle and immediately climbed onto the back seat of Lu Xiaoying’s bike without hesitation. “Oh… go slow now!” Lu Xiaoying gasped, her handlebars wobbling as the bike nearly tipped over. Luckily, Lu Yun was tall enough. With a stretch of his long legs, he stood firmly and smiled, saying, "Class leader, don't worry. As long as I'm here, you'll be fine, trust me." Lu Xiaoying turned to him, gave him a withering look, and playfully scolded, "At the nozzle, you're going down!" She carefully climbed onto the bike and drove forward. They say a smile at the back can make a woman beautiful—this young girl's back-and-forth glare is just as charming. I never noticed how beautiful she really was before! Lu Yun watched her back, lost in thought. Even in the height of summer, with the wind blowing, it's still enough to make one feel overheated. Lu Xiaoying wore a pure white short-sleeve shirt, and the delicate pink straps of her bra were subtly visible beneath. By thirteen, adolescence had set in, and subtle changes were unfolding both mentally and physically. Suddenly, Lu Yun found himself wickedly thinking: this little girl has developed quite nicely. If I were to follow the scenes on TV—pressing Xiao Ying down in the fields and doing something quite bold—would she have the courage to return home and tell her village’s patriarch about it, calling it a rural woman’s affair, Chapter 01? Lu Xiaoying was already drenched in sweat, radiating a delicate, youthful fragrance. "Get me an ice pop when we reach school," she said, "I'm nearly suffocating from the heat." "Got it," Lu Yun readily agreed, his face pressed gently against the back of Lu Xiaoying, his own cheeks flushing with growing embarrassment. Clang! The car hit a dip and jolted violently. Lu Yun let out a sharp cry. "What's wrong?" Lu Xiaoying jumped in surprise, turning to ask. "Nothing," Lu Yun replied, clutching his lower abdomen with one hand, teeth clenched and face grim. "Just a little jolt." "Really? But your hand—" The girl stopped the car. Seeing Lu Yun clutching his crotch with such evident discomfort, she suddenly realized something. Her face turned crimson. "Lu Yun, you—did you just have some… other intentions toward me?" Lu Yun froze, startled, quickly withdrawing his hand and swearing solemnly, "By heaven and earth, I'm only grateful for your kindness. How could I possibly have any other thoughts toward you?" "You don't have the guts for that, do you? Otherwise, I'll have my father break your dog's leg." Lu Xiaoying stared at Lu Yun with suspicion, hesitated, and finally managed to squeeze out a sentence, "Lu Yun, are you really really close to your third aunt?" Her face turned crimson as she finished speaking. "Close in what way?" Lu Yun mentally cursed—hadn't he expected his relationship with the third aunt to remain confidential? "Well..." Lu Xiaoying blushed, waved her hand, "Never mind. But my father says you're not such a good person, so he wants me to keep away from you." Good heavens! It was the village head himself! How did the third aunt even know about this? The old man had the nerve to tarnish my reputation! He'll surely find a way to expose your scandals—your affairs with the village widows—to every corner of the village! ... Rural Beauty 01, 01 Lu Yun vs. Lu Xiaoying – Updated!
