Miss Li, 361 – Main Text, Chapter 361: Tie Xi Village Chapter 361: Tie Xi Village Liu Fangling smiled gently. The young girl was still as shy as ever—she had arranged for the two of them to share a room, yet when she casually asked a question, she seemed to get confused. With a sigh of resignation, she said, "Alright, don't waste too much time. We have to leave after dinner. If we delay too long, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape Wang Hehui's retaliation." Then she gracefully exited the room. Lu Yun rubbed his head, thinking to himself—what had happened to this girl? She looked so preoccupied this early in the morning. Was it because he had caused trouble for her by beating Wang Heihu? Or perhaps, like Liu Fangling, she was hiding behind the window, listening to what he and Liu Fangling had said? Liu Tingting's voice trembled slightly, as if she were struggling to hold back her emotions, and then added, "I might sound a bit awkward, but my aunt isn't well-regarded in the village. People say she's engaged in rather physical work in the city, which is why she's able to earn so much—enough to buy nice clothes and wear expensive jewelry. This content is from Chapter 361 of 'The Village Beauty.' Lu Yun silently sighed, realizing that the young lady had noticed the flaw. After yesterday's decisive victory over Wang Hei-hu, Lu Yun had indeed called her 'Fangling Sister' in front of Liu Tingting, though he hadn't given it much thought at the time due to the urgency. He hadn't expected it to stick in her memory. Lu Yun held紧 Li Tingting, beaming with a smile. "I didn't realize it was all about this. At first, I used to call her 'aunt' just like you did. But yesterday noon, while I was helping her clean her room, I half-jokingly, half-seriously told her something quite serious—how I kept calling her 'aunt' every time, making her feel like she had turned into a grandmother, and insisted that I start calling her 'sister.' Honestly, we don't see it that way at all—whether we call her 'aunt' or 'sister' is just a matter of course. So, I just kept calling her 'aunt' in front of you, without changing it." "I believe you," Li Tingting interrupted him before he finished, then turned around and smiled at him. "Let's go have dinner." Whether this lie was well-intentioned or not, Lu Yun couldn't quite tell. All he knew was that this matter absolutely had to remain unknown to Li Tingting. After dinner, Lu Yun and Li Li said goodbye to their parents and prepared to head back to school. As they were about to leave, they called Tingting aside and asked, "Tingting, if I find a treatment method for my father's illness, how can I find you both?" "Go to Xiao Wangzhuang and you'll find us. My aunt is Liu Fengyi, and my uncle is Gao Dawan. Just ask around and you'll find us." Turning to look at her aunt, Liu Fangling, who had not come along, she grasped Lu Yun's hands tightly, her eyes glistening with tears. "Lu Yun, thank you so much. Please take good care of yourself. I still want you to keep holding me while you sleep." With a blush, she turned and ran back into the house, tears flowing freely like a flood. For Lu Yun, who had offended those fierce and formidable people in order to protect her, she was constantly worried about his safety. Pushing Tingting's bicycle, Lu Yun watched her slender silhouette and softly murmured, "I will. I'll keep holding you while I sleep, from now on." Riding on the bike with a slight lean, he sped off toward school through the crisp morning air. As he rode, Land Yun breathed in the fresh air, his mind clear and focused. When he arrived, he parked the bike and headed straight for Mrs. Liu's convenience store. Whenever there was a girl present at Mrs. Liu's store, it seemed boys never failed to show up to watch the scene—this morning was no exception. Land Yun pushed his way through the crowd, brushing past several airport-style arrivals, until he finally reached the counter, where he called out, "Mrs. Liu, I'm here to help with this section of the story—'Rural Beauty 361.'" While busy serving students, Mrs. Liu glanced at him with a sideways eye, scolding, "You lazy boy! Where have you been the past day? I haven't seen you once—little Xiao Ying has been worried sick." "Lu Yun helped while smiling and replied, "I had something urgent yesterday that prevented me from telling Xiao Ying, Aunt. I need to leave for several days. Could you please let her know that, Xiao Ying?" Liu widow furrowed her brows, glaring at Lu Yun. "Are you doing it again? How come you never seem to improve? I've told you so many times—have you ever really listened?" Lu Yun glanced at the full room of students, then leaned in close to Liu widow, speaking softly, "Aunt, this time I'm absolutely doing it for a good reason—just believe me this once. There are so many students here watching. When I return, you can give me a good scolding, if you like." Liu widow sighed, shaking her head with a weary smile, "I really don't know what to do with you. Very well, I'll believe you this time. But if I find out it's just because you've been being mischievous, you'll never come back here again." By the way, Xiao Ying, don't worry—Hongyu has already told her. You're nothing but trouble, always causing chaos—there's not a single good thing about you. I truly can't figure out what those two silly girls find so appealing about you. While turning around to fetch supplies, Lu Yun whispered with a smile, "Grandmother, if you like me, then they must like me too." Liu Guo-ma said with a laugh, "Stop being so verbose! You're criticizing me, aren't you? I'll allow you to say I'm good, but don't let me hear you treating those two girls unfairly—otherwise, I'll never forgive you." Lu Yun chuckled and, after helping around for a while, said to Liu Guo-ma, "Grandmother, Xiao Ying and Hongyu are probably almost here—I'll head off now." "Go on, go on! You're always so conspicuous—just get out of here!" Liu Guo-ma said, shaking her head. Lu Yun nodded and hurried out of the convenience store. He really didn't want to be caught by Lu Xiaoying and Liang Hongyu, who would then surely press him together to reveal the truth. He could tell them about helping Mr. Liu Tingting find cancer medication for his father, but there was a complication—he had accidentally beaten up Wang Heihu, the local tough guy from the county town. That particular incident absolutely had to remain confidential, or else both young ladies, along with Liu San, would be deeply worried. So, after stepping out of the store, Lu Yun got on his bike and headed straight to the address left by his uncle—the Iron West Village. ... Rural Beauty 361, Main Text 361 – Iron West Village updated!
