Chapter 437: Battle with Gaoyang (at 4 a.m.) Chapter 437: Battle with Gaoyang "The content I have here is simply the text of Chapter 437 of 'Rural Beauty.' I feel more unjust than Dou E." Lu Yun thought to himself. "Even now you claim there's nothing—just that I wanted to kiss you! Instead, you insisted on taking me out. Where did you want to go?" Lu Xiaoying asked firmly, though without a trace of anger. Does a woman truly change as she grows older—does her character also transform? Lu Yun wiped a cold sweat and defended, "You were so enthusiastic—didn't you fear your classmates would notice? I only wanted to take you out for a walk, to refresh your spirits. But now, I've been accused and turned into a victim—I'm truly at my wits' end." "Hmph! Just now, I felt something firm pressing against me. You don't know how painful my lower abdomen has become? And now you're using that very thing to press against me?" Lu Xiaoying also felt deeply hurt. Hmm… "That was merely a normal physiological response—can "Lu Yun explained, for if Little Ying kept going, he'd surely be dubbed a beast. "Do you mind?" Looking at Lu Yun's slightly swollen lips, Lu Xiao Ying whispered softly, "I sit in the classroom every day after class, afraid you'd come looking for me and not find me. These days I've been feeling a bit unwell—so just pretend I'm being all coquettish, shall I?" "Yes," Lu Yun said, licking his lips, without hesitation. Could he possibly refuse? Now he truly understood how delicate girls during their menstrual periods were—completely unbreakable! Yet, Lu Yun knew well the feelings behind Lu Xiao Ying's words. Gently pulling her into his arms, he spoke softly, "It's my fault. I'll come visit you often from now on." Lu Xiao Ying nestled against him, closing her eyes in contentment. The bell rang—ding-dong—interrupting the warm moment. It had been some time since the first class period began. With a gentle voice, Lu Xiao Ying stepped away from Lu Yun and said, "You'd better head back to class now." Looking back at the students entering the classroom one after another, Lu Yun nodded. As he approached the classroom door, he happened to meet Gao Yang, who exchanged a sharp glare with him—both of them gave a cold snort. This content is from Chapter 437 of "Rural Beauty." Lu Yun gave a cold laugh and walked off. Gao Yang entered the classroom and deliberately passed by Lu Xiaoying, muttering angrily, “**.” Lu Xiaoying was startled upon hearing this, and tears quickly filled her eyes. “Xiaoying, don’t pay any attention to him,” said her desk partner, a neat and graceful girl who had also heard Gao Yang’s remark and quickly offered reassurance. Lu Xiaoying managed to hold back her tears and smiled gently at her desk partner, “I’m fine.” At that moment, a figure burst into the classroom like a gust of wind, rushing straight toward Lu Xiaoying’s seat. "Xiao Ying, I forgot to tell you..." Lu Yun turned back and quickly rushed to Lu Xiao Ying's side, having only said half of his sentence when he suddenly noticed the tears in her eyes. "Xiao Ying, what's wrong? Has someone been treating you unfairly?" His gaze instinctively shifted to her classmate. The girl slightly tilted her head and glanced back. Lu Yun swiftly turned to see Gao Yang, who was frowning at him and Lu Xiao Ying, instantly understanding the situation. Lu Xiao Ying was surprised that Lu Yun had suddenly returned and, after a moment of hesitation, quickly wiped away her tears and grasped his arm, saying, "I'm fine. I just accidentally lost my concentration when I opened the window a moment ago." Lu Yun was frustrated—Xiao Ying was otherwise so composed, but she was simply too gentle. Besides occasionally arguing with him, especially during elementary and junior high school, he had never seen her get into a heated argument with any of her classmates. Yet, it was then that it was then. Now, Lu Xiaoying was his Lu Yun's woman—his own woman, and if he could swallow this indignity without a fight, then he wouldn't be Lu Yun anymore. "Xiaoying, don't worry. Just let go of me, I'm going back," Lu Yun spoke calmly. As Lu Yun turned to face Gao Yang, Lu Xiaoying's heart immediately tightened. Upon hearing his words, a smile played on her face. "Yes, go back," she said, then released her grip on his arm. With his arm now free, Lu Yun immediately darted toward Gao Yang, and without a word, delivered a solid punch. Gao Yang wasn't stupid. As soon as he finished speaking, he knew that the girl he'd long admired would surely cry—yet he hadn't expected Lu Yun to return at all. At the very moment he saw Lu Yun, he had been intently observing every move, one hand reaching into his desk and grasping the hammer handle. This content is from Chapter 437 of "Rural Beauty." Seeing Lu Yun suddenly charge toward him, Gao Yang quickly rose to his feet, raising his hand and guiding the handle of his hammer straight toward Lu Yun's fist. He wasn't brave enough to let Lu Yun's hammer strike his head, but he was willing to break Lu Yun's fist. Lu Yun charged with great force, delivering his full power, and hadn't expected Gao Yang to be holding a hammer handle—now it was impossible to avoid the collision. With a firm bite of his teeth, Lu Yun braced himself and met the blow. Crack! The fist and the hammer handle made solid contact. Gao Yang, his face contorted in fury, shouted, "You're a dead man, you useless thing!" As he spoke, he felt a powerful surge of force rush through his arms after the impact. With a sudden upward flick of the hammer, the handle came back and struck his chest. Thud! The force of the blow sent Gao Yang staggering. He opened his mouth wide, gasping for breath. "For heaven's sake, if you're going to keep picking on Xiao Ying, I'm gonna knock you out right now!" He stepped forward and delivered a solid blow to Gao Yang's forehead. Plop! Gao Yang didn't even manage to grunt—he was already knocked to the ground. "Lu Yun..." Lu Xiao Ying hadn't expected Lu Yun to say he'd return to the classroom, only to suddenly charge toward Gao Yang once she let go. She had just time to see Gao Yang raise his hammer and swing it at Lu Yun before she rushed to his aid. By the time she reached him, Gao Yang had already collapsed. Lu Yun's right hand, now clenched in the effort, was streaked with blood, dripping steadily. Most of the students in the class were still unaware of what had happened until several girls near Gao Yang gasped in alarm—only then did they realize that the figure who had just burst into the classroom had silently and decisively laid the class's little powerhouse, Gao Yang, flat on the ground. Lu Yun's right arm was already bloodied and mangled, the intense pain causing his entire arm to tremble continuously. He could not reach close enough to Gao Yang, so he bent down, picked up the iron hammer head stained with his own blood, and raised it, ready to swing it down at Gao Yang's head. At that moment, Lu Yun felt a sudden tightness in his arm, and a voice, full of tears, called out beside him: "Lu Yun, please don't fight! I beg you—don't fight!" It was Xiao Ying! ... / / Rural Beauty 437, Main Text 437 Battle Against Gao Yang (Four More Updates) Completed!
