The Country Beauty 288, Main Text 288: Teaching Me How to Skim the Surface Chapter 288: Teaching Me How to Skim the Surface Under the sharp outburst of Iron Heart Lan, Lu Yun sprang into action, swiftly rushing back to the classroom. Worried about Lu Yun being expelled from school, Liang Hongyu sat at her seat, head resting on her arms, shoulders trembling continuously—seeming to be softly weeping. Hua Feiyan occasionally spoke to her, as if trying to comfort her. Lei Zi stayed behind in the classroom, more confident than before, taking a seat at Zhang XiaoYu’s desk and joining Hua Feiyan in soothing Liang Hongyu. Even before Lu Yun reached her, Lei Zi heard her footsteps, turned around, and saw it was Lu Yun. He quickly rose and approached, whispering, “Bro, how’s it going? Won’t that crooked-necked chicken really expel you?” “Everything’s settled. She wanted to hassle me all the way—her crooked-necked chicken act—well, that’ll be for next life.” Lu Yun smiled proudly. Seeing Liang Hongyu still crying, he pulled Lei to the side and said, "Lei, has Little Yu been crying all along?" Lei nodded and chuckled, "Yes. Yun-gong, you're simply amazing! Such a beautiful girl as Little Yu has ended up with you—how can I not admire you? You have no idea how worried she was after you left the classroom. If I had a girlfriend as wonderful as that, I’d willingly live ten or twenty years shorter myself." "Haha. Well, I’ll take good care of you this week—by the time we’re done, I’ll have you snagging the girl you’ve been eyeing all along." Lei was thrilled—she’d been dreaming about that girl for a long time. If he could actually win her over as his girlfriend, Lu Yun would truly be his matchmaker! "Yun-gong, thank you so much. But first, I’d really appreciate it if you went and checked on Little Yu. She can’t keep crying like this." At that moment, Zhao Feiyan also noticed the commotion, glanced at Lu Yun who was quietly chatting with Lei Zi, and stood up to say, "Lu Yun, you've returned—go quickly and try to persuade Hongyu. No matter what I say, she just keeps crying." This content is from Chapter 288 of "Rural Beauty." Lu Yun had never really paid much attention to Zhao Feiyan before, but after the incident when Liang Hongyu and Juanzi argued and Hongyu was injured by Juanzi's boyfriend, Lu Yun realized that although Zhao Feiyan wasn't as beautiful as Hongyu or Xiao Ying, she had a genuinely kind heart. Among all the female dormitory members, only she and Zhang Min showed special care for Xiao Yu. Especially Zhao Feiyan—had it not been for her medical knowledge, Xiao Yu would have suffered greatly. "Thank you," Lu Yun nodded and smiled at Zhao Feiyan. Zhao Feiyan's cheeks flushed slightly unexpectedly, then turned and gently patted Hongyu on the shoulder, saying, "Hongyu, Lu Yun has returned—stop crying now." Then she added to Lu Yun, "I'll go out first. Please take care of her." Liang Hongyu had already known that Lu Yun had returned during the conversation between Lu Yun and Zhao Feiyan. After Zhao Feiyan left, she looked up at Lu Yun with tearful eyes, choking out, "How did it go? Did Master Tie agree to help you?" "Everything's settled now. Master Tie has already taken care of everything." With Lu Yun back, Liang Hongyu no longer needed to worry. She gave him a polite greeting and, following good judgment, joined Zhao Feiyan in leaving the classroom together. "Hongyu, I've told you so many times—everything's fine now. Why are you still crying like you've got frog eyes?" Lu Yun sat beside her, gently wiping the tears that continued to flow. "You're the one with frog eyes," Liang Hongyu smiled through her tears, pouting. "I'm sorry, Lu Yun. If only I hadn't spoken so loudly, the homeroom teacher wouldn't have bothered you." "Lu Yun chuckled, "It's nothing to do with you. That old man has been dissatisfied with me for a long time, always looking for opportunities to pick on me. Today was just the chance he finally caught." Liang Hongyu clearly still wasn't fully at ease—taking on a teacher wasn't something to be taken lightly. She asked Lu Yun, "Has Master Tie really agreed to help you?" "Of course! How could I deceive you?" Seeing her expression, it was clear she had struggled through that class. After finishing up, Lu Yun had a satisfying, relaxed session with Tie Xinlan in the office—something he now felt a bit guilty about. At the same time, he cherished Liang Hongyu even more—his reserve girlfriend seemed set to be officially recognized soon. The morning passed in a haze. The guy known as the 'Crooked-Neck Roast Chicken' didn't come back to bother him. Lu Yun felt a little more at ease—his own temperament was well known. If the Crooked-Neck Roast Chicken kept pressing him, there would surely be another clash. As soon as the school bell rang, Lei eagerly pulled Lu Yun aside, beaming with a smile. "Cloud brother, Xiao Yu's mood has stabilized now. It's time for you to teach me how to sneak meals in the canteen—let's build up my confidence. This content is from Chapter 288 of 'Rural Beauty.' " Lu Yun smiled to himself. This young man used to be completely shy, unable to speak a word when it came to girls. Since he'd managed to defeat the school's top troublemaker, Zhao Kai, he'd transformed completely—now he was all set on dating and finding a girlfriend. "Lu Yun, I'll go get my meal. You go ahead and handle whatever you need to." Lu Yun was fine. After a full morning, Liang Hongyu's mood had settled completely. She waved her lunch bowl cheerfully and said, "You still don't have a new lunch bowl, do you? I'll bring a bit more vegetables—let's share one." "Don't worry, Miss Xiao Yu," Lei replied. "Just let Cloud brother and me share one bowl, and we're good." "Lei quickly replied, 'This guy has finally waited this long—absolutely can't let Liang Hongyu mess things up.' Lu Yu nodded and smiled, 'Hongyu, go ahead first. I'll meet Lei later for dinner. We've got a few things to discuss right now.' 'Yun-guo, should we wait until Xiao Yu returns before we go? Don't want to get anything wrong because I'm learning how to charm women from you two,' Lei whispered as he watched Hongyu walk away. Lu Yun chuckled, 'You're a quiet one, yet surprisingly perceptive—never lost your head from excitement. Of course, if I didn't have a woman to charm myself, how would I teach you? Come on, let's head to the canteen to find our first targets. Once Hongyu's gone, we'll begin our 'oil-slicking' campaign.' Lei made a 'k' gesture, returned to his desk, grabbed his rice bowl, and hurried toward the canteen with Lu Yun, his face flushed with excitement. On the way, he looked slightly nervous and asked, "Cloud brother, what if a girl catches us right now? How will I handle that?" Lu Yun waved his hand and said one word: "Run." "Ah!" Lei gasped, his mouth wide open. "Won't this be so bad? After all, we're from the same school—we'll surely meet. If that happens, then..." "Look at your courage! If you want to make a move, don't be afraid to take risks. Do you really expect a girl to come to you and offer herself so you can touch her breasts or her bottom?" It was their first time, so it was natural to feel a bit nervous. Seeing Lei hesitating to commit, Lu Yun gently reassured him, "Don't worry. I'm the master of making girls comfortable. I promise you won't be noticed. Just follow me closely. Whatever I do, you just follow. Move quickly—don't hesitate." "Lei nodded as if he understood, yet couldn't conceal the faint trace of fear. ... Country Beauty 288, Main Text 288 - Teaching me how to grease the skids, updated!"
