Tall and well-built, he looked quite handsome, yet his gaze carried a persistent, seductive flair that unconsciously made one feel uneasy. "Lu Xiaoying, what's wrong?" the boy approached her, asking with genuine concern. "It has nothing to do with you," Lu Xiaoying glanced at him and turned to her companion, saying, "Shan Shan, let's go back to our dorm." The girl now known as Shan Shan stared at the boy with glowing eyes, utterly enchanted—typical of a devoted fan. "Shan Shan…" Lu Xiaoying grew slightly irritated, pulling her along. "Gao Yang, Xiaoying is feeling off today. I'll accompany her back," the girl said with a flirtatious glance, then turned to follow Lu Xiaoying back to the dorm. "Xiao Ying, Gao Yang is so handsome, his family is well-off, and he's genuinely pursuing you. How come you're not accepting him? I really don't understand what you're thinking about. If he liked me, I'd have already thrown myself at him by now, hahaha!" A true, shameless romantic! "Zhang Shanshan offered a word of comfort, then happily rushed out of the dorm room. Spotting Gao Yang waiting nearby, she hurried over and said, 'Gao Yang, you were looking for me? What's on your mind?' 'Zhang Shanshan, could you help me with something?' Gao Yang said with a cool, composed tone. Deadening! Zhang Shanshan's eyes sparkled with little stars, nodding enthusiastically like a chicken pecking at rice. 'Of course! What do you need?' 'Could you please ask Lu Xiaoying to come out? I have something to talk to her.' 'You want to see Xiaoying?' Zhang Shanshan's warm enthusiasm instantly cooled down, her tone tinged with a hint of disappointment. 'Um, is there any issue?' 'Not really... Just wait a moment—I'll try to see if I can get her to come. It seems Xiaoying is having a hard time right now—she's crying quite sadly and might not come out to see you.' 'No problem at all. As long as you make an effort, that's all I ask. I'll treat you to snacks sometime.' "Wait a moment, I'll try my best to get her out." Zhang Shanshan glanced at Gao Yang's handsome face, lingering with a sense of longing before turning and rushing back to her dormitory. Zhang Shanshan’s last words truly came down to pure luck—Lu Xiaoying jolted awake and suddenly realized that Gao Yang lived in the town, so there must be some connections that could get Lu Yun out. At the very moment Lu Yun was being led into the police car, Lu Xiaoying’s mind went completely blank. She had even considered going back to ask her father to intervene, but she knew how peculiar her father was—getting him to help Lu Yun seemed utterly impossible. Wiping away her tears, Lu Xiaoying stood up and looked at Zhang Shanshan, asking, “Where is he now?” “He’s right outside, waiting for you. You go on by yourself—I’ll stay here, so as not to interfere with your plans.” Zhang Shanshan’s words were subtly suggestive, and even as Lu Xiaoying was still immersed in her grief, a blush crept up her cheeks. She snapped, “If you keep saying that, I’m never going!” “All right, all right—I’m already wrong, aren’t I? Go now, before someone else waits too long.” Come on—those words were still full of subtle hints. Lu Xiaoying didn’t feel like dealing with her, and blushed as she walked out of the dormitory. "Xiaoying, I'm right here." As soon as Lu Xiaoying stepped out, Gao Yang was standing behind a locust tree, raising his arm and calling out loudly. Lu Xiaoying looked around, hurried over, and, her voice still slightly choked, asked, "What's on your mind?" Gao Yang looked at her puffy eyes and sighed, "Xiaoying, isn't it worth it for you to cry like this over him?" "This is my matter, not something you need to get involved in," she replied, startled by Gao Yang's words, then growing slightly angry. Gao Yang said, "I know it's not my concern, but you've just seen him taken to the police station after stealing school equipment—how can you possibly like someone like that?" "Gao Yang, who do I like? That's none of your business. If you have nothing else, I'm going back to my dorm." Lu Xiaoying, holding back her anger, turned and started walking away. Gao Yang saw Lu Xiaoying about to leave and couldn't help reaching out to grasp her, urgently saying, "But I like you—don't you know? In what way am I any worse than Lu Yun? Why can't you accept me? Why not?" "Let go," Lu Xiaoying grew increasingly impatient, her face flushed red, raising her hand as if to give him a slap. Seeing Lu Xiaoying truly agitated, Gao Yang reluctantly released her hand and said with lingering reluctance, "Lu Yun is guilty of theft. Though he's still under the age for criminal liability, he'll definitely be detained at the police station for ten to fifteen days—there's no doubt about it. Think carefully about that. Even if he gets out, will he still have the face to stay at school? How can someone so petty and untrustworthy bring you happiness? I'm going now. Please think it over." Lu Xiaoying stood motionless, tears streaming down her face: Lu Yun, I've said I'd be happy eating coarse grains and drinking thin soup with you—how could you have done such a thing? Why? The locust trees of summer seal the clear autumn—right now, the young girl's heart seems to gradually sink into the depths, just like the occasional falling leaves of the locust trees! …… Village Beauty 051, "Summer Locust Trees Seal Clear Autumn" (Three in the Morning) updated!
