The Country Beauty 043, 043 A Confused Future 043 A Confused Future Liu Guo-fu pushed Lu Yun gently, rose to dress, and said with a slightly plaintive tone, "Little Yun, don't ask anymore. I'm just a fading flower, a withered vine—there's nothing to be embarrassed about. So I'll tell you now. This is the text content of Chapter 043 of The Country Beauty. - Love Pavilion - Read - Love Pavilion - kankankan8" Lu Yun wasn't a fool. His earlier question had merely been a small incident, occurring right after the passion had subsided, while they were still in the warm, lingering moments. If he pressed further now, it would surely make Liu Guo-fu feel uncomfortable. After all, it wasn't exactly a dignified matter—she would naturally want to preserve a little face. Summer was indeed wonderful. Lu Yun took the clothes quietly, dressed himself swiftly, and was just about to start a conversation with Liu Guo-fu when suddenly, he heard her gasp from the side. Only then did Lady Liu, half-crouching, her hands pressed firmly against her full buttocks, look deeply in pain. "Uncle, what's wrong with you?" Lu Yun quickly helped her onto the bed, asking with genuine concern. Lady Liu, her face flushed with indignation, said, "It's still you—what did you do to my private parts just now?" Lu Yun was momentarily stunned, then quickly grasped the meaning of her words. His face turned bright red as he stammered, "I didn't expect to have hurt you, Aunt... I... I..." Lady Liu glared at him, then slowly lay down, sighing, "Little turtle, you're truly heartless! Can you just casually touch that area? After all, I've been so tender with you. - Love Pavilion - View - Love Pavilion - kankankan8" Lu Yun hung his head low, his gaze lingering on his right middle finger. During the moment of passion, he had momentarily lost control—his middle finger, dampened with the flowing water, had slipped into Lady Liu's rear passage. Liu, immersed in the endless bliss, hadn't noticed Lu Yun's subtle movements until she reached for the door just a moment ago. As she took a step, she suddenly felt a sharp tearing pain in her lower body, prompting her to bend down and cry out in pain. "Uncle, are you in real pain? Should I go to town and buy some pain relievers for you?" Lu Yun, feeling a bit at a loss, gently lifted her head and looked at Liu. "I'm telling you I'm in pain," Liu said, her voice rising with frustration. "How did you learn all these strange tricks? Do you know how long it's been since anyone has touched me here? You go to the town, do you know what kind of medicine to buy? Are you going to tell the doctor that I was injured during your... performance?" Lu Yun, trying to be accommodating, stepped forward and sat beside Liu, massaging her shoulders and kneading her legs, going through a series of attentive gestures. Only when Liu's frown softened into a smile and she couldn't help but laugh out loud did Lu Yun finally stop. "Are you not mad at me anymore, Aunt?" Lu Yun asked, smiling. Liu's widow sighed and smiled gently, saying, "Oh, you boy—really, I can't handle you. When you're at your worst, you're nothing short of a demon. This content is from Chapter 043 of 'Rural Beauty.' - Love Pavilion - Read - Love Pavilion -" Lu Yun blushed slightly and didn't know what to say. "Xiao Yun, go fetch me a fan—this heat is unbearable!" Back in these days, rural villages had no air conditioning, never mind hearing of it—fans were still a luxury that people only imagined. Lu Yun sighed and went to the outer room, bringing back a fan. He returned to Liu's widow and began扇ing vigorously. "Xiao Yun, what's going on between you and Xiao Ying? If you trust me, just tell me—maybe I can offer you some advice. The only condition is that you never forget me." Miss Liu, after all, had been through the ropes. She had clearly observed the way Lu Yun and Lu Xiaoying interacted, and could easily deduce the young couple's thoughts just by tapping her toes. Lu Yun stammered, unable to put into words what he felt—this wasn't because he lacked the desire to speak, but because, in his mind, their relationship now resembled the childhood "household play" he used to enjoy. To Lu Yun, Xiaoying's declaration last night had merely been a moment of spontaneity. The very thought of this issue made his head ache. The child he had bought from the "Love Chamber" store, raised without a father or mother—though he appeared indifferent on the surface, he still carried a quiet shadow of concern in his heart. Though young, Xiaoying had already matured in spirit. Her graceful smile and warm expression often flashed through his mind, bringing him deep distress. At the very moment Lu Xiaoying expressed her feelings, Lu Yun had already regarded her as his future wife. Yet, despite his own lack of resources, he wondered—would Xiaoying’s father eventually agree to their marriage when he grew up? Lu Yun smiled wryly. With Xiaoying’s father so keen on appearances, he feared that the moment he asked for her hand, the old man would simply knock him back to his mother’s womb. “Xiaoyun, what’s wrong? Why aren’t you speaking?” Lu Yun shook his head with a strained smile and said, “Aunt, do you really think we have a future together?” Meng the widow was taken aback. She had asked about Lu Yun and Lu Xiaoying’s relationship precisely because she feared Lu Yun might develop feelings for Xiaoying. She had never considered the very question Lu Yun now raised. In her eyes, Lu Yun and Lu Xiaoying were merely children playing house—something lively and temporary. Yet, the way Lu Yun looked at her now suggested that he had truly fallen for Xiaoying. Liu Guo-fu thought for a moment, then smiled. "This can only be handled by you and Xiao Ying. No one else can really help you with this. And remember, don't move Xiao Ying—your father's temper you've always known well, haven't you?" Lu Yun sighed bitterly. "Uncle, I'm not a three-year-old child anymore. I still have some sense of judgment." Hearing this, Liu Guo-fu finally felt reassured. She endured the pain in her lower abdomen, got up from the bed, and fetched some food for Lu Yun, then handed it to him with a smile. "Little turtle, you're not big in stature, but you've got real strength. I'd say you won't recover in the next two or three days." Lu Yun privately rolled his eyes—exactly what you said this morning, didn't you? And now you're doing it again! "Uncle, then I won't be teaching today. I'll just stay here to watch the door. All you need to do is sit quietly and tell me what you want and at what price." "Li, hurriedly shook her head, saying, 'That won't do at all. If I don't sell anything, I can't afford to let you miss your studies. Why don't I go to your homeroom teacher and ask him to give you a pass?' 'No,' Lu Yun quickly stopped her. If she went, she'd surely end up with some serious trouble—imagine what might happen to Li, especially with the way she's currently acting. 'Aunt, please don't worry about this. I've got a plan. You just rest a bit more.' Though Lu Yun was young, Li clearly trusted him. With a graceful wave of her hand and a soft, tender smile, she said, 'Well, you're quite considerate—finally showing some care for me.' 'Aunt, could you tell me a bit more useful information?' Li was taken aback, her eyes full of puzzled questions. 'Information? What kind of information?' Lu Yun gave a mischievous smile. 'I mean, what you've done with other men. You only mentioned your third cousin just now. I'd like to know about other men in our village who've had similar experiences with you.' "Li, the widow, suddenly looked a bit uncomfortable, speaking softly, 'Yun, are you really that concerned about what my aunt went through with others in the past?' Lu Yun slapped her face, thinking how he had somehow brought up the very thing that wasn't on his mind, and quickly apologized, 'Aunt, I didn't mean to imply anything serious. I was just casually asking. You know, men often have such awkward, trivial thoughts.' ...
