Rural Beauty 030, 030 - Flirting with the Class Leader 030 - Flirting with the Class Leader Lu Yun smiled with understanding: "Don't worry, Lan姐. Even if someone holds a knife to my neck, I won't reveal anything about our relationship." After saying that, he kissed her on the cheek, waved goodbye, and stepped out of the office. "Zhou Quan, when did you return? Why didn't you go in?" As soon as Lu Yun stepped out, he spotted Zhou Quan crouched in the corner of the wall, drawing circles with his fingers, and asked with curiosity. "Lu Yun, I've been blackballed by that messy kid from Zhou Gao!" Zhou Quan exclaimed angrily, suddenly turning to face him. "Still not the scrap of a guy from Zhou Gao." Zhou Quan spat out a stream of blood, angrily saying, "After being scolded by Master Tie, this guy didn't even go to class—he kept watching us. When I went alone to the town, he beat me up before I did, gathering some ruffians and surrounding me when no one was around to watch." "*****!" Lu Yun roared, his voice strained and desperate, "He treats me like I'm just blowing air out of my lungs. I'm going to kill this dog of a man!" Zhou Quan chuckled coldly, "I'm not just going to kill him—I'm going to have him and his father both dead." The fierce look on his face and the icy tone of his voice sent even Lu Yun trembling. "Quan, I'm sorry—had it not been for me, you wouldn't have taken this beating," Lu Yun knew these words were mere formalities at this point, yet he couldn't find any other words to express his sense of guilt. "Come on, your own brother—you're always doing this." - Love Nook -Read- Love Nook -kankankan8” Are you my brother?! Lu Yun felt even more ashamed upon hearing these four words. His own brother had now been matched with the woman Lu Yun had admired—how could he possibly bear this? “Zhou Quan, we absolutely have to settle this score.” Zhou Quan nodded firmly, speaking with fierce determination: “We don’t need to rush. No matter how hard we try, we simply can’t compete with him. I’ll head back to my hometown right away. My uncle is well-established in the underworld scene. I’ll bring him in—there’s no way we’ll be outmatched by a bunch of ordinary village toughs. This content covers Chapter 030 of the rural beauty series.” Lu Yun naturally understood what “the underworld” meant. He hadn’t expected Zhou Quan’s uncle to be so deeply rooted in the black society. With him on board, dealing with Zhou Gao-ren and his crew would be as easy as picking up a few chicks. Yet he hadn’t anticipated that bringing in Zhou Quan’s uncle would itself spark such a significant upheaval. "Lu Yun, please take two days off for me. I have to head back right away—otherwise, I'll be too late." Zhou Quan urged urgently. Lu Yun was surprised: "Even if you go back and ask your cousin to come over, you don't need to rush right now. Just take care of your injuries first." "There's no time left," Zhou Quan replied. "I've arranged a challenge with Zhou Gaoren using the 'pressure tactic.' We're supposed to fight his entire group two days from now. I must leave immediately." "What about your injuries?" Zhou Quan waved his hand: "They're fine now. Just remember to take my leave for me. - Love's Chamber - View - Love's Chamber - kankankan8" With that, he turned and ran off without looking back. "Make sure to include me when you do," Lu Yun shouted after Zhou Quan's back. Zhou Quan merely waved, indicating he understood, and soon disappeared from Lu Yun's sight. … Li Yun returned to the classroom feeling frustrated, only to find that class monitor Liang Hongyu hadn’t taken advantage of the break time to go out and socialize. She was still seated at her desk, intently reading her book. Without any enthusiasm to strike up a conversation, Li Yun silently sat down, staring blankly ahead. "I was also in the canteen, and many of my classmates saw it too." Lu Yun felt a bit dizzy and asked, "So, what did you see?" Liang Hongyu stared intently at her textbook and whispered, "I saw you fighting with someone over a girl—your expression was particularly fierce, as if you were about to kill them. This content is from Chapter 030 of 'Rural Beauty.' "What else did you see?" Liang Hongyu glanced at Lu Yun and then quickly turned back, "I also saw you holding a very beautiful girl—she seemed to be from the same village as you, and she's actually the school's top beauty." Lu Yun now felt deeply troubled and down. Seeing that no one else was in the classroom, he decided to gently tease this shy and blushing class monitor to lighten his mood. He smiled and said, "Class monitor, you're actually one of the school's top beauties too." "Me? I'm not." Liang Hongyu's face turned even redder. "Why not?" As for height, no one can match you—let alone your figure. Every curve is perfectly defined, every dip just right, with skin as smooth and white as melted butter and hair flowing like silk. You're truly the princess Snow White every boy dreams of. "You... you're so lowbrow!" Li Hongyu snapped, this time blushing deeply and burying her flushed cheeks beneath her textbook. Lu Yun chuckled, then took the textbook from her hands and spoke seriously, "Every word I said is true. Why don't you ask other boys whether they also see you as the campus belle and Snow White here?" With the textbook now in his hands, Li Hongyu quickly covered her face with both hands, feeling both humiliated and indignant. "Lu Yun, if you keep going on like this, I'll tell the teacher!" "Please, class monitor. If you do, I'll be finished before the week's over. You'll see my miserable state and never be able to bear it." Lu Yun smiled shyly, as thick-skinned as a city wall. "Who cares about you? You're utterly shameless!" Li Hongyu was nearly crying. Lu Yun saw that it was about time. If he kept teasing any longer, this rather shy class president might actually end up crying—something he’d truly be responsible for. He slipped the textbook into her hands and smiled, “Class president, I was just playing around with you—don’t mind me. But there’s one thing that’s true: you are truly the school’s belle. They just haven’t noticed you. They’re to blame—perhaps they simply have dog’s eyes and aren’t able to see the beauty in you.” Liang Hongyu, used to Lu Yun’s teasing, still blushed slightly, though she managed to let go of her hands from her face when he said the first part. But Lu Yun had one more move up his sleeve—his second remark returned to his usual irreverent tone. Before she could finish her thoughts, he covered both his hands and the textbook with his arms, shielding her rosy-cheeked face. She had intended to scold him, yet his words also fulfilled her deep-seated sense of pride and vanity. For now, she found herself at a loss, unsure how to handle this very much like a young rogue beside her. ... Rural Beauty No. 030,
