When Lu Yun and Ling Xiaoman arrived at the field, the middle-aged driver was sitting on the tricycle, chewing on a steamed bun. Seeing Lu Yun and Ling Xiaoman, Ma Shan jumped down, wiped the crumb from his lips, and smiled warmly, greeting, "You're back so quickly! Didn't you wander around a bit longer?" "No," Lu Yun replied with a smile, "We were afraid we'd miss our time. If you leave now, we'd have to walk back on foot." The middle-aged driver chuckled, "How could we possibly let you walk? We promised to take you back—by the time it gets dark, we wouldn't leave you here. Why don't you come inside and sit for a while?" Ling Xiaoman wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "No, it's too hot today. The car feels stuffy. We'd rather stay under the tree shade." "That works," the driver agreed. "Have you eaten yet? If not, I still have a few buns here. Would you like to have something before we go?" The mid-aged driver liked the two very much, especially the fresh, lively girl like Ling Xiaoman. After taking in her new outfit, he admired her with a deep breath, saying, "Indeed, people do look their best in clothes! With this dress, she's even more beautiful than the actresses on TV." The tone of the driver was entirely that of an elder praising a younger person—warm, respectful, and free from any awkwardness. Ling Xiaoman blushed slightly, murmured a quiet "thank you," and then walked over to the shade under a tree by the roadside to rest. Lu Yun was delighted—this trip had certainly not been in vain. Though the dress wasn't expensive, it fit perfectly. On the way back, the number of people glancing at them increased significantly. Leaning against the car window, Lu Yun held his bottled water and said, "Uncle, you must be making a good income this year. Why not upgrade to a minivan? That would be so much more exciting—much more comfortable to sit in, too." Lu Yun had never ridden in a car before—his first experience was when he was caught stealing the school's parallel bars and ended up riding in the outdated Dafeng minivan from the police station. Later, he took two rides in Li Huashan’s Santana, which felt as soft and comfortable as a sofa. The middle-aged driver, holding onto his tricycle, smiled and said, “We don’t make much money—this minivan costs several tens of thousands of yuan, which is about equivalent to building a single-walled house here. Let’s just manage with it for another two years. Once we’ve saved enough for my eldest son’s wedding and house construction, we’ll think about this issue then.” Lu Yun and the driver chatted casually, not very deeply, as the time passed. Soon, the pretty young woman who had come with them to the city returned. The pretty young lady was carrying a bundle of things, looking full of confidence and cheer. Spotting Lu Yun chatting with the middle-aged driver, she placed her bags neatly in the cabin and stepped closer, her two white hands twirling together, giggling, "Lu Yun, you've come back quite early, haven't you? Didn't you and your sister go check into a hotel room?" Upon hearing this, the middle-aged driver's cheerful expression immediately turned serious. "You, from the second-son's family—how can you say such things? That's his sister! Besides, how old is this young man, really? How could he possibly do something like that? You're ruining his reputation with all this nonsense!" "Hmph! What sister? As if I didn't know! Lu Yun doesn't even have a sister. I've never seen that girl in the village. If it weren't for some connection, how would Lu Yun have brought a so beautiful young lady all the way into the city?" The young lady gave the middle-aged driver a withering look, clearly still upset about his earlier lack of support. “You….” "Uncle, don't be angry—she can say whatever she wants. I'll just pretend I didn't hear a thing." Lu Yun seemed completely calm, offering a few reassurances to the middle-aged driver before turning to the attractive young woman who was smiling at him flirtatiously. "By the way, your two new girlfriends—haven't you turned them into dried-out mannequins in the hotel room, haven't you?" "Alright, sister, where shall we go?" Lu Yun asked. The pretty young woman glanced around. Originally intending to sit where Ling Xiaoman was, she suddenly felt irritated the moment she saw Ling Xiaoman. Ignoring the odd, puzzled look from the middle-aged driver, she pulled Lu Yun toward the other side of the road. "Sister, don't hold onto me like that—my sister will be embarrassed," Lu Yun broke free from her grasp, saying, "Just let's find a spot and sit down. What's the point of walking so far?" "Always calling her 'sister,' 'sister'—is she really your sister?" the pretty young woman insisted, seizing Lu Yun's hand again and leading him toward a construction site on the opposite side of the road, which was still under development but seemed deserted. Lu Yun managed to free himself once more, waving his arms and saying, "So what exactly do you want? Even if there's something going on, I need to let my sister know first." "Seeing Lu Yun had stopped again, the pretty young woman looked impatient, waved her hand and said, 'Alright, go tell her I'll be waiting for you at the other construction site. Make sure you come—otherwise, I'll spread the story about how I tucked you into the woods all over the village. I don't care what the country bumpkins think. But be careful, or you'll have trouble finding a wife in the future, and never manage to get a woman to fall for you!' Damn! How cruel! Lu Yun glared at her, huffed, and turned to walk toward Ling Xiaoman. When the pretty young woman returned, Ling Xiaoman had already spotted her, knowing she held a grudge against her. To avoid unnecessary trouble, she simply sat there without saying a word to remind Lu Yun to be careful." To her surprise, after the pretty young woman placed her belongings on the car, she walked straight to Land Yun's back. Since they were too far apart, she didn't catch what they had said—only noticed that the woman suddenly pulled Land Yun's hand and led him across the street, which made her heart skip a beat. Without thinking, she stood up and immediately started to follow. Land Yun's temper she knew well: if things went south between the two of them, he'd definitely reach for the pretty young woman and give her a good scolding. "Sister, that young woman has something she wants to tell me. You just sit tight— I'll be right back," Land Yun said as he approached Ling Xiaoman. Seeing her worried expression, he quickly added. Ling Xiaoman nodded. "No matter what she says, just promise me you won't hit her, okay?" "Got it. I'm not some violent type—I'm going right over there," Land Yun smiled and then turned to walk toward the construction site across the street. Mmm, what a move—she'd clearly been itching to go there, yet utterly flustered! ... Country Beauty 250, Main Text 250, It's itchy again—updated!
