Land Yun’s actions were even more electrifying than the previous time he had awkwardly kissed the students while serving grilled chicken with a tilted head! “Forever and always!” After a brief silence, the passionate outburst surged forth—those four words resonated like thunder across the entire room, echoing powerfully in the hearts of every student present! Hao Feiyan, who had been momentarily stunned by Land Yun’s sudden kiss, her mind blank, finally regained her composure amidst the unified, thunderous cheers of all the students. As she felt a smooth, slippery tongue gently probing her mouth, a warm blush spread across her cheeks. She quickly broke free from Land Yun’s kiss, shyly stepping away from the group of students, and in a flash, hurried out of the convenience store. Lu Yun watched Zhao Feiyan's retreating figure and a deep, thoughtful smile played on his face. He chewed thoughtfully, murmuring to himself, "The flavor is quite good—just a bit short on time. I'll definitely take the time to properly savor Feiyan's little mouth next time." As soon as he finished speaking, Liu's widow stepped forward, scolding him, "You fool! Look at what you've turned my little shop into—only you and that young girl are talking about your romance, and now my business is all but gone!" Lu Yun chuckled, glanced around the crowd, and was relieved to see that he hadn't spotted Xiao Yu, Xiao Ying, or Tingting Dan Dan—otherwise, he'd have been in serious trouble. "Ladies and gentlemen, my sales career here comes to an end. Hurry up and make your purchases! Take advantage of today's excitement—go ahead and express your feelings to your favorite boys now. Don't wait until it's too late and regret it for the rest of your life!" With that enthusiastic call, a wave of girls quickly approached Lu Yun to buy things, eager to use his momentum to express their feelings to their preferred male classmates. What bothered Lu Yun slightly was that every time a girl took something from his hands, she inevitably said, "For life and always!" Amid the bustling scene, Liu's widow ended up becoming a mere spectator, her only task being to constantly receive bills of varying denominations from Lu Yun. "Heaven and earth! At last, I've managed to finish this—what a relief, though I'm utterly exhausted," she murmured, referring to the content of Chapter 923 of "Rural Beauty." After half an hour of activity, the convenience store finally settled down. Occasional students came in to buy items, but they couldn't match the earlier frenzy. Lu Yun wiped the sweat from his forehead, sat down on the stool inside the counter, and looked at Liu's widow with a smile, saying, "Madam, it's now your turn to compensate me." Liu's widow laughed and chided, "Have you not yet compensated me?" Lu Yun was taken aback, then exclaimed, "Madam, you're being stubborn! I've been so busy—where have you compensated me?" "Li, the widow, smiled and said, 'That pretty young girl just now—couldn't that be your very best compensation?' Lu Yun, flustered, exclaimed, 'How could it be? Zhao Feiyan can't represent you. How could that count as compensation from you to me?' 'She can't represent me, but if you hadn't come to my small shop, wouldn't that very incident have happened? Wouldn't that girl have been so easily kissed by you, this little suitor?' Li's eyes shone with warmth. She genuinely liked Lu Yun, and saw genuine joy in the girls who kept appearing in his life. Yet, a quiet concern stirred within her—fear that Lu Yun might not value these girls, might casually play with their feelings, ultimately ending up with nothing but a futile effort, like water running through a basket. Li understood that when a person's emotional life was gone, he no longer had a soul—merely a hollow, lifeless shell, merely surviving." Lu Yun smiled awkwardly. "Uncle, even if I didn't come to your house, I'm confident I could secure that girl." Before he finished speaking, Liu's widow suddenly cut him off sharply. "Xiao Yun, what exactly do you mean by 'secure her'?" Lu Yun hadn't expected his casual remark to provoke such a strong reaction from Liu's widow—especially one that seemed to carry real anger. He quickly tried to explain. "Uncle, I—” "Stop being so casual," she said, her tone softening, yet still firm, making it clear he couldn't avoid the matter. Lu Yun immediately felt overwhelmed. He was best at persistent, relentless persistence—no matter how angry Liu's widow got, he'd always manage to make her happy. But today, something felt different. How could he explain 'secure her'? 'Secure her'? What could he possibly say now? Half a day passed before Lu Yun finally stammered, "Uncle, Fei Yan has always liked me. Even without this incident, we would have solidified our relationship this week. I don't like hiding my feelings inside—I either want to be with her or go my own way, maintaining the same distance as before. This content is from Chapter 923 of 'Rural Beauty.'” Liu’s widow spoke sincerely to Lu Yun, "Young Yun, girls generally value emotions deeply. Please don’t let them down." Seeing Liu’s widow’s expression lighten, Lu Yun beamed and said, "Uncle, I know this well—don’t you know what kind of person I am? I’d never start something and then abandon it. Otherwise, you’ll see me get beaten up, and when we’re in bed, you’ll find me refusing to crawl into your bed..." Hearing Lu Yun talk more and more absurd, Liu’s widow immediately interrupted and scolded, "I just gave you a good impression—now you’re already going off the rails, aren’t you?" "Lu Yun chuckled, "How could it be otherwise? I'm telling you the truth. Think about it—when we share the same bed, don't let me sneak into your sheets. What punishment could be more severe than that?" Liu's widow agreed. Every time Lu Yun saw her, he insisted on doing that. If they truly lay together on the same bed without engaging in it, he truly couldn't bear the strain. "You've shown good sense," she said, "but I've already made it clear: you may like many girls, yet you must remain faithful to each one. Absolutely no starting things and then abandoning them to leave them heartbroken." Lu Yun nodded seriously, but then asked with care, "Then, what if a girl starts with me and eventually abandons me, leaving me heartbroken?" Liu's widow was momentarily stunned—she had never imagined that any girl would choose to leave Lu Yun. After all, women's hearts are as unpredictable as needles hidden beneath the sea floor, and as a woman herself, she well understood how swiftly women's feelings could shift, far beyond what one person could ever fully grasp. Yet, she couldn't think of a single reason why any girl in Lu Yun's life would choose to leave him. Seeing Liu's widow's slightly troubled expression, Lu Yun beamed with a cheerful smile. "Sister, this is actually quite easy. If any girl doesn't like me, I'll do everything in my power to win her back. I absolutely won't allow any woman in my life to leave me." Liu's widow studied Lu Yun carefully, her heart filled with a complex mix of emotions, and nodded, gently sighing, "Little Yun, I was rather overexcited just now. Sometimes, emotional matters simply can't be forced—they only unfold naturally. Do your best and simply go with the flow. Don't cling too tightly or be overly concerned, or else both of you will end up hurt." Lu Yun furrowed his brows, nodded slightly with a half-understanding expression and said, "Aunt, I understand. I won't let you down." Liu's widow smiled warmly, her gaze lingering on the convenience store, as if reluctant to leave. Lu Yun sensitively picked up the subtle shift in her expression, a sudden tightness forming in his heart, and asked, "Aunt, what was it that made you so urgent just now? You even neglected the convenience store entirely?" Liu's widow smiled and turned her gaze back to Lu Yun, saying, "Xiaoyun, I'd like to sell this convenience store and move to the county town for further development." "What? Sell the convenience store?" Although he hadn't heard this from her for the first time, Lu Yun could clearly sense that this time, she wasn't just speaking casually—she was serious. He exclaimed, "Aunt, has something happened? If you need money, we can find a way to help. We don't have to sell the store at all." "Li Guo-wu smiled bitterly, saying, 'Yun, it's not just about the money. It's...'" "What is it?" Lu Yun noticed that Li Guo-wu was hesitating, and asked urgently. If it wasn't about money, he couldn't quite understand what reason she could have for selling the small grocery store she had run for so many years. After thinking for a moment, Li Guo-wu continued, "In fact, after my husband and his parents passed away, I've already started thinking about this. I've been trying to find potential buyers, and even had people in the county help me search for suitable storefronts..." As she spoke, she glanced at Lu Yun's reaction, relieved to find that he wasn't as excited as she had expected. Otherwise, she wasn't sure how she would handle the situation. These are not things Lu Yun is concerned about. What Lu Yun wants to know is why Lady Liu made this decision. Could it be simply because her in-laws have both passed away, leaving her with no ties, and thus yearning to live independently and freely elsewhere? Or perhaps she already has a man she truly loves, someone she wishes to share her life with? "All I want to know is the reason that led you to leave. The rest doesn't matter. It doesn't matter," Lu Yun said, somewhat frustrated. Liu's tone carried a hint of sorrow as she slowly said, "Yun, a woman who has lived in such circumstances, when meeting familiar people—especially those... people—I face psychological pressures that you can hardly imagine. They feel like an immense mountain pressing down on my heart, constantly weighing me down with regret and pain. In the county, I know only a few people, so they generally don't have much impact on me. If you have time, you can also visit my aunt there—my aunt... she can still share a bed with you." Land Yun remained silent. Though Liu's explanation was not extensive, Yun clearly heard the undercurrents of helplessness in her words. What gave Yun real comfort was that Liu had no particular person she was in love with—she simply wanted to escape the ordinary gaze of society. ...
