The Rural Beauty 139, Chapter 139: A Clever Maid, Yun "Yun-ah, our brothers are coming to help you!" Just as Lu Yun was surrounded and under attack, a loud commotion of footsteps echoed from outside the dormitory, followed by a powerful roar: "Brothers, charge in and teach the third-year scoundrels a lesson!" The twenty or so young men, who had just been about to engage in combat, instantly halted their movements and turned uniformly toward the dormitory entrance. Zhao Feiyan, upon hearing the roar, looked utterly astonished. When she saw the group of boys charging in, her expression transformed into one of overwhelming delight. Leading the charge wasn't anyone else—none other than Lu Yun’s former seatmate, the quiet, unassuming Li Zi, who had never managed to speak more than a few words at a time! Behind him surged a crowd of dozens of young men, instantly transforming the small girls’ dormitory into a sea of men—now the epicenter of fierce confrontation. Li, usually so down-to-earth, now seemed completely transformed, not even bothering to notice the school's worn-out, big-brother-type Zhao Kai standing before him. He leaped straight onto the bed, pushing aside several small, persistent "worn-out" comrades, and approached Lu Yun, his voice filled with uncontainable excitement. "Bro Lu, are you okay? I brought thirty-some first-year classmates to lend a hand—hey, didn't I arrive too late?" Lu Yun wiped the blood from his face, and the dullness that had been lingering on him instantly vanished. He smiled warmly at Li. "You've really come a long way, kid—grew up quite a bit!" Li chuckled awkwardly, scratching his head. "All thanks to your guidance, Bro Lu! By the way, what do you think we should do about today's situation? My classmates have been dissatisfied with those third-year troublemakers for a while now. They're all here today—should we just go ahead and settle it with them properly?" Lü Yun glanced at the people brought by Lei Zi—tall, short, stout, slim, all types represented, and the number was indeed substantial. Yet if they were to engage in actual combat with Zhao Kai’s group, they’d definitely fall short. He gave Lei Zi a pat on the shoulder, then silently stepped off the bed and walked steadily toward Zhao Kai, saying, “Kai, I’m sure you’re well aware of the current situation. If we continue fighting like this, your people might not even gain an advantage…” Zhao Kai wasn't afraid of Lu Yun or the others. In fact, he didn't even know what fear truly was. Even when Lu Yun radiated a deathly aura that made people feel uneasy, Zhao Kai felt not a single trace of fear. What mattered to him was the condition of his subordinates. He could be strict with the brothers who followed him, but he could never ignore their lives. "Lei, take them back first. Hongyu has a slight injury. I need to go and attend to her wounds right away." Lu Yun was curious about how this previously quiet and unassuming passenger had managed to gather so many people so quickly within such a short time—something he would have to find out later, once he had taken care of Hongyu. "Hongyu's hurt? Good heavens! If they've injured Hongyu, they'll have to stay—no matter what. They'll fight to the last breath to keep them here." Lei tried to sound fierce and commanding, but couldn't fully shake off a touch of youthfulness. Lu Yun smiled and thanked the group of male students brought by Lei, then turned to Lei and said, "Didn't Zhao Kai say we'd settle the score later? When we're ready to fight, just take them away. If the teacher happens to catch us—so many male students gathered in the girls' dormitory—there'll be no shortage of fun." With a cheerful smile, Lei waved them over and quickly led the thirty-some students away. Lu Yun watched them go until they were far out of sight before turning back to Zhao Feiyan and said, "Thank you for looking after Hongyu. I'll treat you soon." Being directly gazed at by Lu Yun, Zhao Feiyan felt an unexpected flutter of nervousness, quickly turned around to pretend to check Hongyu's wound, though she couldn't hide the warmth spreading across her face. She lowered her voice and said, "You don't need to thank me. My father often tells me that whenever someone needs help, one should do everything possible to assist them—otherwise, one wouldn't feel at ease with one's conscience. This content is from Chapter 139 of 'Rural Beauty.' "A thoughtful girl! Lu Yun chuckled, watching her skillfully maneuvering between Liang Hongyu's hair strands, and asked with concern, "Will Hongyu be left with any lingering symptoms, like a concussion?" "Not at all—just a few scrapes, with a bit more bleeding. You can rest assured," Zhao Feiyan replied lightly, but immediately added in a serious tone, "Hongyu is fine. However, the boys you knocked down with your staff—those are quite a different story. You've been quite forceful, haven't you? Don't you worry about seriously injuring or even killing them?" Lu Yun smiled, saying nothing. Fighting—such matters were best left unsaid in the presence of women. Just now, if Lu Yun had even shown the slightest hesitation or weakness, he would have been the one lying on the ground. Thus, being kind to one's enemies was, in fact, being cruel to oneself. One had to wait until after the battle to settle the scores! He had promised to protect her from harm—and now, unexpectedly, she was the one being treated for injuries caused by him. Sitting by the bed, Lu Yun watched Liang Hongyu's pale face, pale from excessive blood loss, silent and thoughtful, silently blaming himself. If only he had stopped her at the convenience store, kept her from going back to her dorm room—wouldn't this incident have been avoided! No matter how many times he tried to explain, once the event happened, he had to face it. Now, Lu Yun was surrounded by enemies—almost every member of the junior three class had fallen out with him. "Lu Yun, you'd better go back now. Hongyu will be fine once she rests. If you stay here, the girls from the dorm won't dare to enter," Zhao Feiyan hesitated, finally speaking up. Lu Yun was taken aback, his gaze shifting to the dorm door, where several girls stood shyly outside, wrapped in blankets, peering in. "Alright, then. I'll leave it to you to take care of Hongyu. I'll go now," Lu Yun said, rising to his feet, giving Liang Hongyu a deep, lingering look, and then stepped out of the dorm. Zhao Feiyan stared at his back, then glanced at Liang Hongyu, who was unconscious, and a look of admiration settled on her face. Lu Yun stepped out of the girls' dormitory and with a sharp, keen gaze swept over the girls standing outside. He didn't see Juan or the shorter girl anywhere. He suddenly remembered that Juan had run out barefoot—how could she be so bold, not afraid of looking awkward, not simply waiting for his big slap, but running off with her bottom bare? ... Country Beauty No. 139, No. 139. The sensible girls' update is complete!
