The Country's Beautiful Woman 237, Main Text 237, A Stirring Heart. 237 A Stirring Heart (Second Night) Lü Yun was fine, so Ling Xiaoman felt reassured. Although the patrol officer had been a bit impetuous, it was out of genuine concern for the situation. Now, with another one coming to apologize to both her and Lü Yun, Ling Xiaoman found herself unable to say much more. This content is the textual material from Chapter 237 of "The Country's Beautiful Woman 237." "Wang Dong looked at Lu Yun in surprise, asking, 'What about those two thieves?' Lu Yun shook his head and said, 'Of course they've fled. With just me chasing after the money, I'm already doing well. How could I possibly stab them with a knife?' Wang Dong smiled awkwardly, explaining, 'I'm not saying that—I just feel a bit disappointed that we didn't catch them.' 'Young man,' Lin Xiaoman gently tapped Lu Yun's arm, signaling for him to speak more calmly. 'You've got quite a good sense of agility—once you grow up, you might consider joining the military for two years and serving with us. This content is part of the 237 chapter of the series titled "Rural Beauty." 'No interest,' Lu Yun said, looking unimpressed at Wang Dong. Though Wang Dong was tall and well-built, projecting a strong, upright demeanor, his keen, watchful eyes kept scanning over Lin Xiaoman. He stepped in front of her, blocking her view, and replied, 'Thank you for the kind words. If I hadn't been a bit more alert, I'd have been knocked senseless by some rather clumsy fellow.' "Land Yun's words were clearly directed at the horse-named defensive officer standing behind Wang Dong. That man wasn't stupid—how could he miss the point? He took two steps forward, furious, shouting, 'You young fool, keep your mouth shut! You're holding a knife right in the middle of the street—right now I can have you arrested and detain you for twenty-four hours!' 'A typical dog showing off its bark,' Land Yun replied, unflinching. 'Look closely at your dog's eyes. This knife belongs to an old lady selling sugarcane. According to your logic, there are countless people in this county who buy sugarcane—so do you intend to arrest them all?' 'You—' Wang Dong glanced at his companion, 'Little Ma, stop making such a fuss!' Ling Xiaoman also pulled Land Yun behind her, scolding, 'How can you speak like this, Little Yun?' Wang Dong smiled, 'No problem. Young people naturally have more energy and passion—understandable. We still have to continue our patrols and carry out our duties. Just be careful to safeguard your valuables. See you later.' "Speaking, she turned and dragged the pony, whose eyes were nearly popping out of their sockets with effort, back to the motorcycle. As she prepared to leave, she glanced over her shoulder and said, 'If you need any help, feel free to come find me at the nearby public security bureau.' With that, she floored the accelerator and sped off. 'What on earth?' Land Yun shouted after the backs of Wang Dong and the pony. 'The public order and safety of society still rely on people like these. You can't keep treating them like this—like you did today. If it weren't for Wang Dong standing by, that pony would have taken you down a peg.' Lin Xiaoman watched Land Yun with a sigh. He was such a troublemaker—seemingly fearless of anything. Land Yun spat out, 'Sister, Wang Dong isn't exactly a good guy. Did you not notice how he keeps giving you that suspicious, watchful look?' Lin Xiaoman blushed, 'Stop being so dramatic—go get the knife back from the old lady right now.' And she stepped forward. Lu Yun was not satisfied and said, "It's always been that way—that guy..." As Lu Yun continued to complain with growing dissatisfaction, Ling Xiaoman moved swiftly ahead and reached the elderly woman's stall selling sugarcane first. Lu Yun followed shortly after, offering her the knife and apologizing to the gray-haired grandmother: "Grandma, I was chasing two thieves just now and, in the rush, didn't have time to say hello. I ended up taking your knife. I'm truly sorry—I'm returning it now. Also, you've kindly agreed to cut me two ends of sugarcane. This is the content of Chapter 237 of 'Rural Beauty.' " Daughter, Grandma also has a few things to say—this young man is so clumsy, it's hard to see any merit in him. You're so beautiful; why must you stay with him? Don't settle for just one sapling and give up an entire forest! Lu Yun and Ling Xiaoman both remained speechless—this old lady's words were so disjointed, they were truly astonishing. All the points I just made seemed to have blown right past her like wind. Lu Yun felt deeply frustrated, yet he couldn't help but feel a little delighted—how come everyone thinks I and Ling Xiaoman are meant for each other? Is it really going to happen? Taking the two segments of sugarcane cut off by the old lady, Ling Xiaoman quickly paid and then pulled Lu Yun aside, eager not to miss another surprising remark from the old woman. As they walked, they both enjoyed the sweet sugarcane, yet neither dared to speak first, still caught off guard by the old lady's earlier remarks. Ling Xiaoman's heart was now full of complex emotions—those few words from the sugarcane seller kept echoing in her mind. Thinking about all these things that have happened today, does she truly like her student in her heart? If not, why does she feel her heart race when the old woman selling sugarcane says those few words? When she chases after those two young rascals, is she merely acting out of a teacher's concern for her students, or simply out of habit, as a sister caring for her younger brother? Ling Xiaoman is completely confused, unsure what's going on within herself. Land Yun feels exactly the same way. The first time she saw Ling Xiaoman, she knew the girl was someone she could admire from afar but never touch—though she often found herself wanting to take advantage, to enjoy a little favor, she had never imagined herself falling in love with her the way Yu Yangyanping had. But lately, people have kept mistaking the two of them for a couple. Even though Lu Yun knows this is merely a misunderstanding, a ripple of emotion still stirs within his heart. His goal has always been to charm women across the land and build his ideal harem empire, and Ling Xiaoman certainly fits the bill—she's one of those women who immediately captivates Lu Yun. Oh my goodness! Once upon a time, my heart was as bold and spirited as ever. Now, how can I possibly be troubled about this? Heaven, Earth—what good deity could possibly offer me advice on whether or not to bring Ling Teacher into my harem! …… Rural Beauty 237, Chapter 237: The Stirring Heart. Updated!
