Zhou Quan saw Liu's widow enter the inner room, her face lit with a sly smile, and walked over to Lu Yun, whispering softly, "Lu Yun, why has Liu Aunt suddenly become so attentive to you? I remember you used to owe her a few bucks—she used to chase after you like a debt collector, always hovering behind you. What's changed now? Are you two... well, you know, involved?" "Which one?" Lu Yun, though he understood, pretended to be confused. Zhou Quan snapped, "Come on, don't act all mysterious with me! My eyes are sharp—every little gesture you made just now, I've seen clearly. Tell me straight: how did you manage to win her over?" "Why should I tell you this? This kind of thing can only be felt, not explained. Once you know, you'll see how it affects me." "By heaven, you're not going to be that cold-hearted, are you? After all, we've been close friends for years. Isn't it only natural that I should share a bit of experience with you? Do you really intend to watch me suffer all alone, tormented by loneliness and emptiness?" Zhou Quan looked downcast, pleadingly gazing at Lu Yun, speaking in a way that seemed to please him. Lu Yun glanced into the inner room and saw Liu Guozi carefully picking vegetables, then pulled Zhou Quan aside, chuckling, "Stop acting so pitiful. Don't you have a young, attractive girlfriend? Isn't she brilliant at conversation?" "Fine, just drop her name—I'm practically suffocating from boredom." Lu Yun smiled, satisfied with the tone, and leaned close to Zhou Quan, recounting the entire story about his relationship with Liu Guozi. "Wow, really? This is all it takes!" After Lu Yun finished speaking, Zhou Quan stared at him, his face filled with sheer disbelief. "Yes, it's that simple. You thought, like you, everything depended on your money." Lu Yun said with disdain. Zhou Quan rubbed his nose, still puzzled, asking, "I just don't understand—why do you have such a strong charm with women?" No way—better find a fortune teller sometime soon and have them figure out when my桃花 luck kicks in, so that when I'm with you, my strong presence just can't make an impact. Land truly is a funny guy. The dishes were ready quickly. Mrs. Liu greeted them, then brought out several bottles of drinks, and the three of them sat down around the table to eat. "Mrs. Liu, your cooking is truly excellent—way better than Zhang Yi's black bear's version," Zhou Quan said, after taking a bite. Mrs. Liu smiled. "Eat more—y'all are growing, so just enjoy your meals and don't hold back." "These young fellows are killing me, Mrs. Liu—I'm sure we'll come here often. I bet we'll eat your little shop out of business in no time," Land said, sipping his drink. "Well, if that happens, so be it—after all, I've worked hard enough. I've actually been thinking lately about returning to the village to open a small shop and hand this place over." "Lu Yun was surprised, saying, 'Why? Isn't this already quite good?' Liu's wife's face darkened slightly, explaining, 'My parents-in-law have been unwell recently. I need to go back and take care of them for a while. With no one here to look after things, it's really a problem.' 'Sister, if you trust us, we'll take care of everything for you,' Lu Yun said. Zhou Quan added, 'Mrs. Liu, we promise to manage your store efficiently.' 'But then, won't that mean you'll have to miss your classes?' Liu's wife naturally trusted Lu Yun—she had already given up her own health for him—and thought the small store was nothing compared to that. 'Not at all,' Lu Yun replied. 'We'll come to the store during our breaks and after school hours. Once your parents-in-law recover, you can return and manage things yourself.' "Li Guo-fu thought it over and decided this was indeed a good plan—after all, her parents' monthly medication expenses were quite substantial, and if they had to sell off the convenience store, it would mean losing a major source of income." "Very well, but please make sure you don't let this matter interfere with your studies," Li Guo-fu finally agreed to Lu Yun's proposal, though she still wasn't entirely at ease with the two of them, and added a final reminder. "Heh, we can at least serve as small business owners for a while, huh," Zhou Quan smiled warmly, raising his drink and said, "To Lu Yun's safety and well-being, and to our little business venture—here goes!" He then took a long, hearty gulp, finishing off most of the bottle in one go. The meal lasted until late evening, when Lu Yun and Zhou Quan helped Li Guo-fu clear the dishes before rushing off to class. … When Lu Yun just returned to the classroom, a wave of gasps rose up, dozens of intense, scorching glances falling upon him, making him feel uncomfortable as he lowered his head and made his way to his seat. Though he remained silent, Zhou Quan didn’t stay quiet either. Seeing all the students turning their attention to Lu Yun, he cleared his throat and shouted, “What are you all staring at? Never seen a living person before?” Everyone knew Zhou Quan’s fiery temperament, and upon his outburst, they all turned back to their books. “Lu Yun, you’ve finally returned! That’s wonderful,” said Liang Hongyu, already beaming with excitement as soon as Lu Yun settled into his seat. Her face flushed with delight, her eyes swollen from excitement, she kept scanning him from one side to the other. Seeing Liang Hongyu truly as Zhou Quan had described—so deeply moved by him that she was nearly crying—Lu Yun felt a wave of tenderness wash over him. He nodded gently and said, “Yes, I’m fine now. Class monitor, your eyes…” “Fine.” "Liang Hongyu hurried to turn around, covering her eyes as she said, 'The wind is strong today; it's sand that's blinding me.' Lu Yun instinctively wanted to tease her, but before he could speak, he found himself holding back. 'Lu Yun, I... am I really ugly now?' After waiting a while without hearing Lu Yun speak, Liang Hongyu turned back again. 'No, you've always been very beautiful, Class President. You just have a bit of redness and swelling in your eyes now.' 'Really?' A faint smile returned to Liang Hongyu's slightly subdued face. 'Don't always cry so much—girls tend to do that, and no boy would ever find it attractive. If you keep doing that, you might end up unmarried when you grow older.' Liang Hongyu pouted, saying, 'Who's crying? If I can't find a husband when I grow up, it'll be your responsibility.' As soon as she said it, she realized she'd blurted it out and immediately flushed, burying her face tightly in her desk. ...
