Ms. Ping, please take your time eating—I'm heading home now. I'll come back tomorrow to pick up all the sanitary pads and other items you need. This content is the chapter text from the novel "Rural Beauty 184." "Lu Yun was astonished. His old, battered bicycle—something his uncle had somehow found—had been completely dismantled. Now, he probably couldn't even locate a single screw. Yang Yanping said, "When I passed by the garage, I saw scattered parts of the bicycle lying on the ground, piled haphazardly. It looked just like your nearly falling-apart, worn-out vehicle." "The tires were deflated, and in a fit of rage, I simply tore the bike apart so those kids wouldn't keep coming back to it." Lu Yun thought of this and felt even more incensed. After all, no matter how broken it was, it was his own personal vehicle. Now, how was he going to explain its disappearance to his uncle? That was the very issue troubling him most. Yang Yanping chuckled, "Little rascal—you're not just personable, you're also quite temperamental. Well, considering you're going to help me shop in the city tomorrow, just ride my bike home. Just promise not to lose your temper again and start dismantling my bike." "While speaking, Yang Yanping handed over a key to Lu Yun and reminded him, "This is the key to the lock. Be careful when you go into the city tomorrow. If your uncle and aunt still feel uneasy, you can find a companion—expenses like transportation will be covered from the money I've given you. Make sure to prioritize safety. Return as soon as you've finished shopping; don't get too caught up in sightseeing. Do you understand?" Lu Yun felt a bit taken aback—how could this sound so much like his mother giving instructions to a child about to set off on a journey? This passage is from Chapter 184 of the novel 'Rural Beauty.' Lu Yun nodded and turned to leave the office. As he stepped down the stairs, a voice from behind suddenly called out, "Lu Yun, my car—my three-pod car..." "Ms. Ping, I know your car well. In fact, we even know exactly when you get your period." Lu Yun turned and called back, not waiting for the slightly blushing and embarrassed Yang Yanping to speak, and then dashed off. "Such a careless fellow—he's always at it. Let's see how Iron Xinlan fares against one of my disciples, the one I've formally designated as my apprentice." ... When Lu Yun reached Yang Yanping's office, he took a detour and found himself in front of Iron Xinlan's office, only to discover that the iron gate was closed. He had no idea why she had left the school at this moment. He simply walked over to the third car shed, where several bicycles were casually parked. Lu Yun immediately recognized Yang Yanping's bicycle. He took out the key, opened the lock, and leaped onto the seat. Riding Yang Yanping's brand-new Phoenix bicycle out of the school, Lu Yun unexpectedly spotted Ling Xiaoman strolling around and parked her bike beside her, greeting, "Ling Teacher, didn't you go back home during the weekend holiday?" Ling Xiaoman was低头, using the tips of her shoes to tap the soil on the road, scattering dirt all over her feet. When someone called her name, she lifted her head and glanced around, recognizing Lu Yun, and smiled warmly, "Lu Yun, it's now, isn't it? How come you haven't gone back yet?" Lu Yun never blushed when lying, and he smiled at Ling Xiaoman, "My bike broke down, and it's still not fixed—so I've had to borrow Yang Teacher's to get home." "Is your home far from here?" Ling Xiaoman nodded, asking curiously. "Not really close—it's about ten miles away," Lu Yun replied honestly. Ling Xiaoman suddenly went silent, walking forward without a word. Lu Yun had no choice but to push the cart and follow her. He found himself several times wanting to speak, yet finally held back—she seemed to have something on her mind, and perhaps it would be better not to rush in. After walking about a mile, Ling Xiaoman still said nothing. Lu Yun grew increasingly restless. How long could he keep walking like this? With that thought, he finally broke the silence and asked, "Ling Teacher, are you having something on your mind?" Lin Xiaoman struggled for a while before finally spilling out four words, her eyes brimming with mist, just about to form droplets that would fall. Wow! Such a grown-up person, and yet she was crying over this! "Um... Lin Teacher is on weekends. If you've been missing home, why not go back and see them?" Lin Xiaoman fought hard to hold back her tears, sighed, and said, "I'm so busy with time. Besides, when I came here, I already told my parents I'd make a name for myself before going back. To be going back now, just two days after arriving—my parents will definitely not let me return again." This place is so poor—why should I stay? After all, what's there to be attached to? Lu Yun couldn't understand how such a girl could be so set on staying in this remote, underprivileged village. "Lin Teacher, there are many teachers here who don't plan to leave. If you feel bored, why not chat with them?" Lin Xiaoman shook her head. "I have a generation gap with them—our conversations just don't click. Just recently, I was chatting with a male teacher named Liu, but that guy had a definite ulterior motive. He kept staring at my body the whole time, practically a wolf in sheep's clothing." Liu—of course, it must be the one teaching PE. With his strong build and good looks, he's always been making moves on female teachers and students around the school. Now, he's suddenly set his sights on Lin Xiaoman, just recently transferred here. Truly a model of professional conduct! "Lu Yun, can I stay at your place for a couple of days?" Lin Xiaoman suddenly asked, her face full of anticipation. Lu Yun, startled by this, thought his ears had failed him. "Lin... Lin Teacher?" he stammered. "What did you just say?" Lin Xiaoman beamed with a smile. "Can I stay at your place for a couple of days?" ... The Country Beauty 184, Main Text 184 Visited Your House for Two Days – Updated!
