Miss from the Countryside, Chapter 144: The One You're Pinching, 144 The One You're Pinching, 144 Subconsciously linked the words "revenge" to Zhou Quan, yet looking at the scars on her body, it was clearly not something aimed directly at Zhou Quan—did she have some secret after all?!" "Ms. Ning, what exactly are you seeking revenge for? Even if you're seeking revenge, you don't have to treat yourself so harshly." Just thinking about those scars, Lu Yun couldn't help but feel uneasy. "Nothing much—just some old grievances." Old grievances! There seemed to be some unspoken connection between Tie Xinlan, Zhang Yi, and Zhang Ning—far more complex than just sister-in-law and sister! "Lu Yun, I know you're feeling pressed, but seeing how my brother was treated, I can't help but feel deeply distressed—do you understand? If you don't wish to speak, that's perfectly fine—I won't push you." Zhang Ning lowered her head slightly, her tone full of resignation and disappointment. "Ms. Ning, I actually don't know where Zhou Quan has gone." Zhang Ning smiled gently. "Then, let's go back. You still have classes to attend." Lu Yun watched Zhang Ning's retreating figure, shook his head quietly, tucked the screwdriver into his pocket, and then stepped out of the small forest that had brought him so many things—this chapter, part of the rural beauty series, chapter 144. Liang Hongyu blushed, feeling embarrassed and urgent: "I have no idea what's happening to me—I just found myself getting into a fight with her. Won't you mind me?" Oh, she's actually worried about this! Lu Yun smiled to himself, but on the surface pretended to be nervous, saying, "I certainly won't mind you, but if you keep being so fierce with me in the future, I'm not sure what I'll do." "You—well—" "Alright, I was just teasing you. If it hadn't been for me, how would you have ended up fighting her, or how would you have ended up with a bump on your forehead from that boy?" Seeing that Liang Hongyu was about to cry, Lu Yun quickly sat beside her and whispered, "You've been so busy all night—should we go back and rest a bit?" "You always take advantage of me!" Liang Hongyu's cheeks instantly flushed. She reached up and pinched Lu Yun's leg. "You dare to say that? You've nearly killed me! Today after school, I'm having you drive me home." "Drive me home?" Lu Yun looked troubled, stammered, “Yuzi, I have something to attend to today—could I possibly…?” Liang Hongyu observed his demeanor and assumed he was worried that Lu Xiaoying wouldn’t agree. She smiled lightly, “This is Xiaoying’s idea. You can’t refuse it, no matter what. Besides, do you really think I can make it home safely on my own?” Upon hearing this, Lu Yun felt his mind racing—normally, even if Liang Hongyu didn’t mention it, he would have sent her back. But now, with Zhou Gaoren coming after him to settle scores, and if he went with Liang Hongyu, she’d surely suffer another blow. What was he supposed to do now? “What’s wrong? If you’re not willing, then I won’t push you.” Liang Hongyu naturally had no idea about Lu Yun’s thoughts. Seeing his hesitation, she turned her back with a pout, as if sulking. This content is from Chapter 144 of the novel “Rural Beauty.” “Who says I’m not willing? I’d love to send you home. Maybe on the way, when we’re alone, I can make Lu Yun circled her slender waist, pressed his ear close to hers, and spoke softly. "Don't speak of it, don't think about it—still hurts, and I haven't even managed to comfort you. All I've done is focused on making myself comfortable, causing trouble." Li Hongyu was afraid he'd bring up last night's incident, blushing deeply, wishing she could vanish into the floor. Lu Yun chuckled, "How can I be entirely to blame? You were just as enchanted, weren't you? If you're feeling any discomfort, let me massage it for you." As he spoke, he reached out to touch her. They were squeezed together on the same chair, and Li Hongyu had no place to escape, pleading, "Alright, I'm sorry—I didn't even feel anything. I was just pretending! Please stop, or else other classmates will see and things will get awkward." Thanks to Zhang Xiaoyu's disturbance, every student in the class now knew about Lu Yun and Li Hongyu's relationship. So Lu Yun no longer hesitated, embracing her body and fully enjoying the softness. "You promised me this, didn't you? If it weren't painful, I'd still want to eat you." No, it's you who've been eating me all along," Lu Yun said with a mischievous smile. "When have I ever eaten you? You've been bothering me the whole time. How can you possibly swallow a whole sausage with that little mouth of yours? That's proof enough that you're eating me! And during those times when you were especially wild, you nearly bit me in half several times—how painful that must have been!" Lu Yun exaggerated, drawing in a deep breath as if still shaken by the experience. Truly, three pearls of spring water! While amusing Liang Hongyu, Lu Yun found himself reliving the passionate scenes from last night—the exquisite sensation of the named instruments was truly unforgettable. He had now tasted two out of the ten renowned instruments; he wondered when he would finally meet the other eight. Lost in thought, he suddenly felt another wave of pain on his legs. Liang Hongyu pouted, her face clearly displeased, and said, "If you keep talking like this, I'll never speak to you again—nor will Xiao Ying. See how you'll manage to act all smug and troublesome after that!" Land Yun was amused by her soft, gentle tone and shrugged indifferently, saying, "Then fine—since neither of you listens to me, I'll go find someone else. I'm sure there are quite a few girls secretly in love with us." Liang Hongyu snapped, "You dare—" Before she could finish, Land Yun let out a loud cry, and Liang Hongyu, too busy to feel shy, firmly pinched him right on the shoulder. ...
