Chapter 281: Can't Fall Asleep Thinking About It
"Uncle, when did you arrive? It's so early. This is the textual content of Chapter 281 of 'Rural Beauty of the Village.'"
Li Guo-fu handed two bags of roasted peanuts to a girl who looked very pure and simple, then turned to Lu Yun and said, "Wang Qiao, the delivery man who just came, has already been here." Upon hearing this, Lu Yun immediately stopped what he was doing, his expression slightly tense as he asked, "What did he say?" Li Guo-fu replied, "He didn't say much. He just mentioned that you're quite severe in your actions—almost took the life of his less-than-able younger brother. But according to him, the younger brother isn't seriously injured and doesn't demand any compensation. He only asked me to deliver the payment for the goods and then left." Lu Yun wasn't afraid that the thin monkey would come after him with a complaint, but he was worried about adding unnecessary trouble to Li Guo-fu. If the thin monkey started making big demands for high medical expenses, Lu Yun would only be left to cry. Hearing this, he felt a great relief and said, "Auntie, I've caused you trouble."
"No trouble at all. But you really need to work on that tendency of yours to get into fights—your boldness is growing by the day, and you're constantly grabbing knives and clubs now. Just be careful, or your uncle and aunt will have to keep feeding you for nothing."
"Got it. I'll take care of it so your uncle and aunt won't worry, and I won't let you down either." Land Yun said, giving Liu's wife a warm, suggestive smile. Liu's wife felt a surge of spirits and managed to squeeze in another of her irresistible treasures this week.
Seeing Land Yun's playful smile, Liu's wife blushed, realizing he had once again set his sights on her. But with all the students around, it wasn't easy to scold him directly—so she gave him a wide, exasperated glare and promptly turned to fetch her goods, ignoring him entirely.
Soon it was time for class. The bustling convenience store, just moments before, now emptied out completely. Land Yun wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Sister, I'll head off to class now. I'll come back after class to help you out."
"Go on, study hard and don't keep thinking about that matter—don't worry, you won't collapse your little frame." Land Yun glanced out the window, then leaned in close to Liu's wife, speaking softly, "Sister, now I've realized that after experiencing it once, my body isn't only unchanged—it's actually getting stronger and stronger, and my spirits are better than ever. If you don't believe me, just give it a try sometime and see if I'm not even more capable than before." Liu's wife laughed and chided, "Oh, nonsense! Always finding ways to get involved with me—hurry up and go back to class!" Now Land Yun was certain that Liu's wife had completely recovered from her earlier sadness. She casually picked up a ham stick from the shelf and chuckled, "Sister, let's just treat this as a health boost for me—only then will I be strong enough to enjoy those wonderful moments with you." Without waiting for a reply, she took off like a breeze, heading straight for the classroom.
… Back in the classroom, Lu Yun hurried to his seat. With so many things happening last week, and his sturdy desk having been completely dismantled by his own hands, he hadn’t managed to bring it home for repairs. He offered only a wry smile at the shy girl who was quietly watching him. Turning to Liang Hongyu, who was resting her head on her desk, he gently poked her armpit and chuckled, “Little Zhu, why aren’t you saying anything to me?”
“Of course not. It’s just that lately there’s been some family matters, and I haven’t been sleeping well.” Liang Hongyu lifted her head, blinked sleepily at Lu Yun.
“Let me check your face—once I’ve spent money on you, I’ll fly you all the way to the moon, I promise,” Lu Yun said, gently turning her over to examine the wound on her forehead. “You’re doing quite well—no scar should remain. Heh, in a few days, I’ll still have that fresh, vibrant little Zhu.”
Come on, let's give each other a kiss to show some care." Liang Hongyu blushed instantly. Though she and Lu Yun had already shared physical contact in the forest, this man was always so bold—never able to hold back even in the classroom. She rubbed her slightly swollen eyes, scoffing, "Don't be like this! What if someone sees us?"
"Nothing at all," Lei suddenly turned his head, gave Lu Yun and Liang Hongyu a bright smile, then quickly turned back, acting perfectly composed as he softly mumbled something, probably reciting his lesson.
Liang Hongyu bit her lip and reached out to pinch Lu Yun, scolding, "All your fault. I'm sure Lei heard us. Good thing Zhang Xiaoyu hasn't arrived yet. If she had, I'm certain she'd cause a scene."
Zhang Xiaoyu!
Lu Yun glanced at Zhang Xiaoyu's seat, thinking—this lively fox must have been completely overwhelmed the day before by Zhou Gaoren, and whether she'd show up today was still up in the air.
Thinking back to that scene, a warm current surged through Lu Yun's chest, spreading instantly throughout his body, transforming into an unceasing blaze that burned fiercely. "Little Yu, have you thought of me these past few days?" Lu Yun leaned close to Liang Hongyu, speaking softly.
Liang Hongyu immediately replied, "Not at all. I haven't thought of you once—how could anyone think of you, given that you're such a nasty, always-annoying bad guy?"
"Really hurt me, though. I've been thinking of you constantly these days, especially at night—so much so that I couldn't fall asleep. Now look, I'm even getting sick from thinking about you—there's a big blister forming on my mouth." Lu Yun looked deeply distressed, opening his mouth and pulling at his lips to reveal a large blister.
His words were full of subtle implication. In the past, Liang Hongyu might not have noticed them, but after their passionate encounter in the forest, she now understood exactly what he meant by "thinking of you all night."
"You're utterly unprincipled," Liang Hongyu said, her face flushed.
"I just thought of you. What's unbecoming about that? I wouldn't believe you didn't think of me at night." Lu Yun looked at Liang Hongyu with a teasing gaze, trying to find on her face an expression that pleased him. Liang Hongyu felt her cheeks warm under Lu Yun's steady gaze. Indeed, as Lu Yun had said, she had been thinking of him every night lately—her dreams were filled with scenes of them in the forest, and at Liu Guanfu's small grocery store. Since Lu Yun had broken her with that particular incident, she had found herself even more longing for the moments spent with him.
