[Main Text] 1071 Cheer up, you —— Chapter 1071: Cheer up, you By accident, Wang Shiyu often feels a strange sense of discomfort. Just in the short time she's been at this town-based middle school, why does she suddenly feel such a connection toward Lu Yun? After all, during her days at the county's No. 6 Middle School, Wang Shiyu—once a true princess—had always ignored the buzzing flies around her, no matter who they were or what their status. If she hadn't been so indifferent, she wouldn't have ended up being pushed to attend this small-town middle school. {Submitted update by a booklover} Feeling Lu Yun’s intense, burning gaze fixed on her without pause, Wang Shiyu’s cheeks flushed deeply. She stammered, “Well, just tell me—what exactly did you mean by that statement?” Lu Yun took a deep breath and smiled softly, saying, "Hehe, since Po Yu has agreed to let me pursue you, how could I possibly keep it a secret? But when I first mentioned it, I didn't know you'd asked me to do so. Now that I know, I'm actually starting to regret what I said back then." "Cut the chatter! Just tell me exactly what you meant." Wang Po Yu was eager to find out the answer—more importantly, her intuition told her that the moment was slipping away. Her class was about to end, and once it did, she wouldn't have to endure Lu Yun's warm, intense gaze any longer. From the moment Lu Yun announced that Po Yu had agreed to let him pursue her, she hadn't once objected or tried to defend herself. Clearly, this lively, spirited young woman would soon become one of the key figures in his grand plan of building a harem of three thousand. At this thought, Lu Yun felt immensely at ease—his defensive mindset relaxed significantly. After all, if he had already agreed to pursue her, what could go wrong with just a few slightly over-the-top words? As this thought passed through his mind, the hand he had been tightly clutching to his groin unconsciously slipped free. He looked at Wang Shiyu seriously and said, "Shiyu, actually, besides being a man of strong character, this man must also bear up—bear up fiercely, until he's truly a man of solid resolve and true grit." Wang Shiyu found herself even more puzzled—bear up fiercely, until he becomes a real man of strength? As a pure-hearted young girl like her, she simply couldn't grasp the meaning behind Lu Yun's words. Seeing her growing confusion, Lu Yun chuckled quietly, his face remaining calm and composed. "Heh, Shiyu, this question—well, you'll truly understand it once our relationship deepens further." Wang Shiyu hummed somewhat vaguely, still not quite grasping what Lu Yun was trying to say. Would it really be only after she became his girlfriend that she would finally understand him? The answer was certainly yes—but at this very moment, Lu Yun’s words felt a bit premature. Nevertheless, already overwhelmed with joy, Lu Yun no longer cared about such timing. Seeing the puzzled expression on this fresh, delicate young girl, he felt a pang of compassion and gently explained, “This actually has a strong connection to what you just caught. Think about it—if a man isn’t up to the task in the bedroom, no matter how successful he is outside, how much admiration he receives, what use is that? If he can’t even take care of his own wife, how can he be considered a pillar of strength? So, if he truly wants to be a pillar, he must not only stand tall and strong in public, but also, when he returns home, he must truly uphold his woman—uphold her with full commitment, until he’s literally drained, until he’s utterly spent.” Wang Shiyu was stunned by Lu Yun's words. Though she might not have been well-versed in the matter, during her time at Xian No.6 High School, she had certainly heard about and witnessed it firsthand. To her surprise, Lu Yun's statement actually meant exactly that. Wang Shiyu's flushed cheeks instantly turned pale, her eyes blazing with anger as she stared at Lu Yun, mentally cursing: "You obnoxious, faceless fool! No matter how you spin it, it's always about that very thing!" After陆云spoke all that, he felt incredibly confident—such a powerful statement, only he could have said it. He was sure to make Po Yu see him as her ideal superman. Haha. What comes next… Well, Wang Shi Yu did indeed start to view陆云differently. But—she absolutely wasn’t as self-absorbed or flamboyant as陆云had imagined. In fact, she was determined to discipline him. The moment the idea struck her, she acted immediately, seizing a convenient moment and launching a swift counterattack. If you want to make me go through a full physical ordeal, then I’ll simply extinguish your clumsy intentions before they even take root! This time, the force and speed were even more intense than before. Whether it was because陆云had just thought about sharing a life with Wang Shi Yu, or simply about other romantic fantasies, the truth was that陆云’s body lifted his head again. After being struck swiftly by Wang Shi Yu’s right hand, he ended up once more on the small sorceress’s palm, this time in a rather unfortunate position. Aah… Bell… Just as Wang Shiyu had secured her advantage and Lu Yun was wailing in pain, the class bell rang unexpectedly, perfectly masking Lu Yun’s heartbreaking cries. "Class is dismissed," the teacher said calmly from the podium, then stepped out of the classroom. Immediately after, the students burst into a lively, chaotic rush, like wild horses galloping out of the classroom. Wang Shiyu, eager to avoid being counterattacked by Lu Yun, released her grip at the very moment the teacher stepped out, and swiftly rose from her seat, hurrying toward the door. She flashed Lu Yun a series of mischievous faces as she went, her heart full of pride. Oh, you young man—any further remarks like that, and I’ll make sure you’re just as thoroughly defeated as you are now. Lu Yun stared at Wang Shiyu, who had bolted out of the classroom with a haughty air, her hands pressed tightly against his small brother, who had been injured twice now. He sighed, leaning wearily against the desk. Wang Shiyu really was heartless—she had explained so clearly that men should be strong and upright outside the home, and even more so at home, where they should support and uphold their wives. He’d just have to wait until she experienced the true meaning of that, and then she’d understand. Liang Hongyu and Zhao Feiyan both clearly cared about Lu Yun, yet in terms of duration of contact and emotional depth, Liang Hongyu naturally held a deeper connection. As the students in the classroom began to leave, Liang Hongyu hurried over toward Lu Yun's seat.
