Chapter 1127: Rally up! Zhang Yunqian left contentedly, finally fading from Lu Yun's sight. [www.shuhaige.com Book Sea Pavilion Novels] Having waited so long without seeing Tie Xinlan return, Lu Yun could wait no longer. Perhaps this very moment, the tenacious young girl was really waiting for him in the small grove outside the school. Time was pressing; it was urgent. At the very moment Zhang Yunqian's silhouette disappeared, Lu Yun burst into a full sprint across the campus. He encountered Xiao Ying and the others along the way, but didn't pause to exchange a word—instead, he raced swiftly, covering the entire campus, including the playground, as quickly as possible. Yet, still, Tie Xinlan seemed to have vanished overnight, completely out of sight no matter where he looked. When he returned to Tie Xinlan's office, gazing at the iron gate hanging on the door, even his growing anxiety had melted away. The classroom, the playground, the entire campus—every place we could possibly have looked—has been checked, and yet where is Sister Xinlan? Suddenly, Lu Yun had a flash of inspiration, slapped his head vigorously, and exclaimed, "How could we have completely forgotten the canteen! Xinlan and Zhang Yi are like siblings—she must be there helping out at the canteen now!" With that thought, a look of eager anticipation spread across Lu Yun's face. Without hesitation, he dashed off toward the canteen, murmuring under his breath, "May the Buddha protect us—this time, please don't let me come up empty-handed, or else I'll have to settle my differences with Siyu forever." It was peak canteen hours, and though Lu Yun finally managed to squeeze in, he didn't see any trace of Tie Xinlan. His heart sank—had he once again come up empty? He immediately called out Zhang Ning, urgently asking, "Ning姐, have you seen Teacher Tie?" "What's going on? You're making such a fuss over something!" Zhang Ning looked at Lu Yun, who was out of breath, with growing confusion. "You've been sitting inside. Come in with me." Lu Yun was overjoyed and quickly nodded, saying, "There really is an urgent matter." He then followed Zhang Ning into Zhang Yi's bedroom, where he indeed found Tie Xinlan sitting on a chair talking with Liu Yun. "I'll go handle some things now," Zhang Ning said, and then promptly set off to attend to her tasks. Liu Yun stood up, sighed, and said, "Well, if I'm not to be informed, then it must be something major. You go on, I'll step out." As she passed by Lu Yun, she gave him a particularly captivating glance. Lu Yun was startled, suddenly realizing that he hadn't fed Liu Yun's little mouth at the end of her bed for a long time. With his thoughts drifting pleasantly, Iron Xinlan suddenly asked, "Lu Yun, what exactly has happened?" Lu Yun came to his senses, closed the door, and hurried over to sit by Iron Xinlan, looking troubled. "Xinlan姐, it's our relationship that Wang Shiyu has discovered." "What?" As soon as Lu Yun finished speaking, Iron Xinlan was taken aback and quickly asked, "What happened? Tell me slowly." Lu Yun lifted the water basin from the tea table, gulped down a few sips, then wiped his lips, carefully recounting Wang Shiyu’s sudden and noticeable changes. He also shared everything about his relationship with Wang Shiyu without reservation. After Lu Yun finished speaking, Tie Xinlan chuckled, “You boy, always lingering with girls—aren’t you hoping to make all the girls in our school your companions before you’ll settle?” Lu Yun frowned, “Miss Xinlan, isn’t it time now for you to take action?” Tie Xinlan glanced at Lu Yun and said thoughtfully, “Now you’re rushing—when you were all over me back then, didn’t you show a single sign of anxiety or fear?” Lu Yun, like a child who had done something wrong, remained silent, though inside he was muttering: “You’re so beautiful—any man would go crazy. I’ve been trying so hard to keep it together…” He didn’t dare say that out loud, and instead looked at Tie Xinlan with a pitiful expression. Tie Xinlan exhaled, pondered for a moment, and furrowed her brows, asking, "Are you certain she actually saw it?" Lü Yun nodded. "Though she hasn't confirmed it herself, her shift in attitude toward me over time makes only this explanation plausible. Moreover, it coincided with the time after class when we both went to your classroom." Earlier, Lü Yun had already explained in detail the situation between him and Wang Shiyu. After a moment of reflection, Tie Xinlan found that this was the only reason that could reasonably account for Wang Shiyu's sudden change in attitude toward Lü Yun. To have her student witness such a private moment—her and another student in the office—was indeed awkward. Tie Xinlan wasn't particularly concerned about the other students hearing about it; after all, Wang Shiyu could simply share the details, and she would likely only lose her job. What truly worried her, however, was whether Wang Shiyu had actually seen her in her true, natural state. That was what she was most concerned about. After a moment's thought, Tie Xinlan suddenly asked, "Where is Wang Shiyu now?" Lu Yun hesitated and replied, "She said she'd be waiting for me outside the school in a small grove, determined to see it through—she's willing to stick by me to the very end." It seemed as though Tie Xinlan had already figured out how to handle the situation, and with a relaxed expression, she offered a calm, gentle smile. "Now that you've realized you have more women close to you, isn't it clear that this isn't always a good thing?" At this point, Tie Xinlan's words carried the weight of diplomacy, and Lu Yun could only nod in agreement. "Come on, I'll go with you to that grove outside the school. I'll handle this matter personally—don't worry about getting involved," Tie Xinlan said with confidence. Lu Yun had complete confidence in Tie Xinlan's abilities; whenever trouble arose at school in the past, it was always Tie Xinlan who stepped in to clean up the mess. Watching Tie Xinlan's composed demeanor, Lu Yun found himself still wondering just how she planned to resolve this particular issue. "Come on, I'll definitely make sure she keeps being good to you. As for whether you can hold on to her—that's entirely up to you," Tie Xinlan said with a playful smile. "Lead the way." It suddenly dawned on her—had Lu Yun been delaying his arrival all along, simply to go see Tie Xinlan? However, upon seeing Tie Xinlan, Wang Shiyu finally realized that Lu Yun had discovered her secret about her relationship with Tie Xinlan. Yet this revelation did not ease the coldness in Wang Shiyu’s eyes. In fact, the moment she saw Tie Xinlan, a deep, unspoken resentment surged within her—how could things have come to this if it weren’t for Tie Xinlan! Lu Yun, who had been completely indifferent to Wang Shiyu’s indifference, now felt no irritation at all. After all, it was his own fault—he had made her his girlfriend only to find out he’d been involved with another woman, which no one could bear, especially not a woman of Wang Shiyu’s strong martial prowess. Tie Xinlan sensed Wang Shiyu’s resentment and, remaining composed, approached her and said, “Shiyu, Teacher would like to speak with you—would that be convenient?” "After all, she was her own teacher. Though she had developed a romantic relationship with her boyfriend, Wang Shiyu, who remained exceptionally composed, deliberately restrained her anger and nodded in agreement. Seeing Wang Shiyu nod in assent, Tie Xinlan turned and addressed Lu Yun: "You go on and take a walk somewhere else—I'll talk things over with Shiyu alone." Well, just like the treatment she received from Liu Yun earlier, now it's swiftly falling on me. Lu Yun shook his head in resignation, hoping that Tie Xinlan would successfully resolve the matter. As he turned to leave, he wandered aimlessly through the small grove. As he walked, he suddenly realized that he was simply useless—no matter what, he couldn't manage things well, even the matter concerning Liu Tingting had only been resolved thanks to the help of his uncle with a beard. When would he finally grow up and develop the ability to handle matters on his own! Lu Yun struck a tree trunk beside him with a punch, and inwardly, he looked down upon himself with deep contempt. "Big brother, you seem a bit down." The younger brother's voice suddenly rose. Lu Yun nodded, his tone drifting as he said, "You, this mysterious creature who just popped up out of nowhere—how do you know about my troubles?" The younger brother chuckled, saying, "Big brother, you'll get used to this over time. You're destined to have a crowd of beautiful women around you. How can you be so sluggish after just a little setback? This isn't the style of a man who's vowed to have three thousand consorts!" Lu Yun was left speechless. What a nuisance—here he was, just when he wanted to give this guy a good scolding, the man was already making light of his situation. But then, thinking about it, the younger brother did have a point. Once upon a time, he had grand ambitions to build a truly magnificent harem. Now, with just a few minor issues, he was already overwhelmed. What would he do if, someday, he truly did have three thousand beautiful women surrounding him—wouldn't he be completely at his wits' end? Not possible. I must definitely rally myself. No matter how things unfold, neither Xinlan sister nor Wang Shiyu can leave my side! ...
