Wu Dan clung tightly to Lu Yun as soon as she entered the room, her voice choked with emotion. "Cloud brother, why have you forgotten all the things you used to tell me when we were children? Since the very first time we played house together, I've always told myself deep down that one day I would become your wife. This is the content of Chapter 269 of the novel 'Rural Beauty 269.' Listening to Wu Dan's tears, Lu Yun gently stroked her shoulders and sighed, saying, 'Dan Dan, we all grow older, and perhaps people naturally change as they grow. I've always seen you as my little sister.' 'But during our wedding ceremony, the things you did for me—did you not treat me as your little sister too?' Wu Dan held Lu Yun tighter, her choked sobs turning into fragmented cries. "Do you remember that one time when you weren't there, Lu Lei and I were playing house? I refused to be carried off as the bride by those four of them, and Lu Lei was about to make me suffer when you suddenly appeared, stepping in to fight them all alone. I watched you clash with them, and at that moment I silently resolved in my heart that I would one day marry you. Although we haven't spent much time together lately, I have never forgotten the words you once said to me, nor the promises I made to myself as a child. I always thought you felt the same way about me, but when I saw you and Xiao Ying sister being so close at school that day, I realized you had already fallen for someone else—you no longer belonged to me." Lu Yun never expected Wu Dan to have kept deep in her heart all the things he had once said as a child. Facing Wu Dan, now nearly weeping, Lu Yun felt a surge of warmth, lifted her to kiss deeply upon her red lips. Wu Dan murmured softly, as if finally receiving something she had longed for, her arms around Lu Yun gradually loosening, yet her fingers tightly gripping his clothes, afraid he would vanish. Though she had not been kissed by Lu Yun as a child without prior experience, she now felt a sweetness unlike anything before—she struggled to breathe, yet still responded to his kisses with passionate fervor, gradually becoming enchanted. Sorry, Lu Yun had just finished handling the four women with his sharp tongue—otherwise, Wu Dan would have surely been won over by now. Feeling the warmth of her body gradually rising in his arms, Lu Yun finally broke away from Wu Dan's lips, his eyes filled with tender affection, and softly sighed, "Dan Dan, I never thought you've been quietly fond of me all along..." Wu Dan's cheeks flushed, as if she already knew what he was about to say, and reached out to cover his mouth, whispering, "Please, let me have a little space for imagination, okay?" Lu Yun nodded, holding her as they sat down on the ground. As he looked down, he suddenly realized that the little girl who used to always follow behind him, chasing after him and playing with him, had grown into a young woman now. Though her full breasts were not as proud and upright as Xiao Ying's or Hong Yu's, they still clearly showed her transformation from a child into a blossoming young girl. The two of them simply leaned against each other, quietly, until the sun began to set, then they walked back together. At the parting in the village, Wu Dan now had a smile on her face: "Cloud brother, I'm going back now. Remember to call me when you go to school tomorrow." Without waiting for Lu Yun to reply, she dashed off. Lu Yun watched her small, graceful figure fade into the distance and realized, without realizing it, that he had once again accumulated a debt of affection. He rubbed his lips, as if the fragrance of Wu Dan's lips still lingered there. "Xiao Yun, where have you been all afternoon? I've been looking all over for you and can't find you anywhere!" Lu Yun was just about to express his thoughts when Hao Donglian's voice came from behind. "Auntie, what's up? I just strolled around the village a bit, then went out to the sandy ridge outside." As Lu Yun entered the courtyard, he said to Hao Donglian. Hao Donglian seemed to have just finished cooking, still wearing her apron, and wiped her hands twice before coming close to Lu Yun. "What's the matter, you stubborn boy? You're so grown now, yet you still don't know how to settle down—always running off to wherever. Go back to your room and spend some time with Xiao Man, your bride. If you lose her, I'll make sure you're broken on the ground!" It seemed that upon hearing Lu Yun call Ling Xiaoman "sister "Uncle," Lu Yun pulled Hao Donglian aside and explained, "She's just my teacher. Don't always call her 'wife' or 'wife'—if people hear that, how would she feel comfortable coming to our house? Besides, my goal is to meet and charm beautiful women all over the world. How could I settle for just one? Even if the Goddess of Peonies descended to earth, I wouldn't be satisfied." Just as Lu Yun began to speak, he was hit again on the head. With his hand pressed to his skull, he managed to hold back all the rest of his words. Looking at San-Shi’s expression, he figured if he told her about the matter involving Ma Cuihua and the others, his little brain would surely be crushed. As Han Donglian raised her palm again, Lu Yun beamed and took off running. Why, when he shared his grand ambitions with San-Shi—someone who had always been so kind and attentive to him—did she always give him a good slap? Was it really unusual for a man to have such aspirations? Well, he’d just have to implement his plans one step at a time. The beautiful women across the land would be waiting for him to make his move. Lu Yun smiled and said, "I'll just roll around in the sand a few times and take care of myself. Xiao Man, you sit and watch the TV." Taking over the basin from Ling Xiao Man, he sprang back out. With a broom, he brushed off the sand from his body, then fetched a full basin of water, ducked under the quilt, and splashed it all over his head in one go. Shaking his head, he called out, "There's nothing like this refreshing feeling—just that damn good!" ... Country Beauty No. 269, Main Text No. 269: Ma Shufen has completed the update!
