"If I can't find a husband, you're responsible for this content—Chapter 059 of 'Rural Beauty.' " As soon as Liang Hongyu spoke, her face flushed instantly. Meeting Lu Yun's unusually warm and intense gaze, she quickly covered her textbook on the desk with her hands, her little feet tapping the floor several times, clearly embarrassed by having said such a thing.
Lu Yun chuckled, originally feeling a growing irritation upon returning to the classroom, where everyone's bright, piercing glances had been steadily following him. He had intended to tease Liang Hongyu, but as she said those words, he was certain—she truly had feelings for him. Otherwise, given her naturally shy disposition, she would never have spoken such an intimate remark.
"Class president, it seems you still have one task left to complete," Lu Yun said with a mischievous smile.
After a while, Liang Hongyu seemed to have regained her composure and asked curiously, "What task is this?"
"Could there be any other task? You promised to help me relieve the swelling, yet during class I fell asleep—your own words turned into empty promises as you quietly slipped away. Then I was taken to the police station. Now that I'm back, shouldn't you honor your promise?"
Upon hearing this, Liang Hongyu's face flushed deeply, her embarrassment overwhelming. She snapped, "Lowly, unprincipled, base!... I... I've already secretly asked my classmates—your swelling wasn't caused by me at all. It was... it was..." What exactly, Liang Hongyu stammered several times, yet couldn't bring herself to say it clearly.
Though Liang Hongyu couldn't quite explain herself, even if Lu Yun were a pig-headed person, he would have been able to guess what she meant.
She'd secretly asked her classmates!
Deadly!
Lu Yun sweated profusely—so much that it seemed like a waterfall, almost as if he were going to be fried in a wok. Helplessly gazing at Liang Hongyu, he thought: Is this girl truly ignorant, or is she just pretending to be pure? Could she casually ask someone else about this? Ugh, it seems once again, I’ve cemented my image as awkward and unrefined in the heart of a beautiful woman.
Lu Yun smiled and accepted Zhou Quan's advice wholeheartedly, solemnly stating, "Don't worry. I've simply been momentarily overwhelmed by my own thoughts—such a mistake will absolutely never happen again." In his heart, he made a firm vow: for Xiao Ying, and for the rare friendship he shared with Zhou Quan, he would never again make a foolish move that harms both himself and others.
Zhou Quan shook his head vigorously, as if a wind chime were being shaken, and strode off with a series of sighs. Goodness, now I'm being blamed! Lu Yun also took three steps and sighed once, just intending to take a quick visit to see if Lu Xiaoing was still around before the rest time began, when a graceful figure approached him. "Xiaoing." "Lu Yun." They both spotted each other almost simultaneously, their voices filled with an unexpected joy. ... Outside the school, in the dim woods, moonlight filtered through the dense foliage, casting dappled light upon Lu Yun and Lu Xiaoing, who were leaning against each other. "Lu Yun, when I saw you taken away by the police this morning, I couldn't help but feel so afraid and distressed. I was really worried that you might be detained for years—then you'd never be able to escape the stigma of being a thief. Please, from now on, never do anything like that again, okay?" Lu Xiaoing leaned into Lu Yun's arms, lifting her forehead slightly, her words carrying both earnestness and understanding. This content is from Chapter 059 of "Rural Beauty."
Lu Yun nodded seriously. "In fact, all I wanted to do was to give you a gift, to make you happy. That's why I ended up being taken for a ride—my own lack of determination has led me to make such a foolish mistake. Xiao Ying, will you forgive me?"
"I've never blamed you at all. I just didn't want to see you end up on the wrong path. If that happened, I'd truly have no idea what to do." The deep affection was all conveyed without words. With her face pressed against Lu Yun's chest, listening to the strong, steady beat of his heart, the anxiety that had plagued her all day finally settled into peace.
"By the way, Xiao Ying, don't leave the classroom in the morning. I'd like to take you to meet someone."
"Who?" Xiao Ying asked in surprise.
"Zhou Quan's cousin—the one who helped me get this opportunity through his connections. I've already told him everything, and he'd like to meet you to ask a few questions. Then, he plans to uncover the real culprit who framed me."
At that moment, Lu Yun recounted in detail to Lu Xiaoying how Zhou Quan had managed to get him and his cousin Li Huashan out of the police station, and how the conversation they had on the way in the car unfolded. After listening intently, Lu Xiaoying's rosy cheeks were filled with delight, and she promptly nodded enthusiastically, saying, "That's wonderful! As long as we can bring the people who framed you to justice, I'll do anything you ask. I'll be waiting for you in the classroom tomorrow." "Thank you, Xiaoying," Lu Yun said, tightening his arms around her, and the person in his arms immediately emitted a sound that was both joyful and slightly painful. A gentle breeze blew through, rustling the leaves softly. The young couple, just beginning to understand the subtle nuances of love, leaned against each other, deeply savoring the sweet affection flowing between them. "Oh, Lu Yun, you—you—" Suddenly, Lu Xiaoying gasped, feeling a firm object pressing firmly against her buttocks, blushing deeply and staring at Lu Yun, momentarily at a loss for words.
"Xiao Ying, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to be intentional. Every time I see you, I can't help myself—I..." Lu Yun stammered, trying to explain, but was interrupted mid-sentence by Lu Xiao Ying, who looked up at him and whispered softly, "You're so bad! You always do this. I've warned you—before we get married, you mustn't touch me, or else I'll show you what I'm capable of!" Lu Yun was left speechless, nodding slowly. Just as he opened his mouth to say something, Lu Xiao Ying suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck, her warm, lush lips bursting with springtime passion, pressing firmly against his.
Lu Yun, stunned at first, immediately embraced her tightly and passionately kissed her soft, fragrant lips.
