Chapter 1159: Meeting Roses Again Lin Shu pressed her hands firmly against Lu Yun's chest, her gaze shimmering with a light only she could read. Lu Yun remained still. Lin Shu, taking the initiative, mounted him, and each time this happened, Lu Yun felt an odd sense of discomfort, a quiet melancholy spreading through him—perhaps this would be the last time. A noticeable bulge formed on her pants, just where she sat. Suddenly, she smiled warmly. "Painful?" Lu Yun was startled, then chuckled. "Not at all." Lin Shu rolled off him and lay beside him, embracing him tightly. "I've thought about it. Right now, it doesn't feel right. Let's wait until evening. I'll make you suffer then—perhaps, perhaps that will truly be the last time." Lu Yun nodded, casually reached over and draped the blanket over Lin Shu's shoulders, smiling, "Lin Shu, you'll need to be well-prepared for tonight. I'm sure you'll be quite restless—by morning, you might not even be able to walk. Then you'll definitely have to stay put." Lin Shu pressed her cheek against Lu Yun's chest, murmuring, "Yes, if I can't walk, then I won't leave. I'll stay and accompany you." "Really?" Lu Yun beamed. Lin Shu lifted her head and smiled, "No, it's a lie. Even if I have to crawl, I'll still leave this place." "Oh," Lu Yun's delighted expression faded slightly. "Alright, silly brother. This isn't a life-or-death farewell. We'll surely meet again. Believe in me, believe in yourself, and above all, believe in our shared fate." Lin Shu said seriously, her graceful face filled with conviction—seeming to comfort Lu Yun as much as to reassure herself. In a quiet, reflective tone, she added, "Xiao Yun, I have a strong feeling that we'll meet again. Women often have a remarkable intuition, don Lu Yun nodded, said nothing. Could true fate really be so reliable? Could a woman's intuition truly prove itself time and again? He didn't understand—what he did know was that Lin Shu had to leave, and she had to leave! What he could do now was to offer her the greatest possible support before she departed, so that she could leave this place that had brought her endless pain. " Sister, I'm going out for a while—I might not be back until evening." Lu Yun had made up his mind. With only two days over the weekend, his time was tight. Lin Shu hesitated, but eventually nodded. Tomorrow she would be leaving. She wanted Lu Yun to stay with her, to share those moments that gave her peace. " Then go quickly and return soon—I'll be waiting for you when you come back," Lin Shu said, looking at Lu Yun with lingering affection. Lu Yun took a deep breath, rose from the bed, stepped out of the room, and headed toward the village entrance. No matter whether Lin Xu intended to leave or not, this woman had left an indelible mark on his life. He found Ha Donglian, retrieved the tears given to him by Yang Yanping, and after a moment's thoughtful pause, selected five tears that would never melt. He then said a brief hello to Ha Donglian and Ling Xiaoman before heading to the village gate to wait for the bus to the county town. Lu Yun sat by the village entrance waiting for the bus, his mind filled with thoughts about these priceless tears—seeming to him like a small mountain piled up with money. Xiao Man had secured a job for his uncle at a furniture factory in the county town, and it seemed inevitable that Uncle and Aunt would have to move there. Thinking of how his uncle and aunt had given up everything—home, possessions—to save money for his house and wedding, Lu Yun felt warm and touched. Yang Yanping had once told him that in this small county town, such tears were worth no more than two or three thousand yuan at most. Ten thousand, two or three thousand—several times the difference—and Lu Yun wouldn’t be such a fool to accept this. Could there really be no one in a county town who knew what to pay for such treasures? A modest plaque hung above the doorframe. Lu Yun clutched the five tears in his hands, his heart fluttering nervously. After all, he was still just a young, inexperienced boy, making his first business contact—naturally, he felt a bit apprehensive. Yet, thinking of Liu Shen's convenience store waiting for him to take over, Lin Shu waiting for him to return, and Yu Ying waiting to use the money to redeem her husband, he took a deep breath and stepped inside. After entering the store, Lu Yun was immediately closely watched by a young man in his twenties. Seeing Lu Yun keep scanning the store with a suspicious expression for a while, the young man finally broke in, saying, "Hey, kid, go play somewhere else—everything here is precious. If you break anything, even if we sell you, we won't make up for the loss." Upon hearing this, Lu Yun's brows furrowed tightly. He had seen so many people who treated others with low regard, especially when it came to customers, and had grown used to it, so he didn't bother to argue with the young man. Instead, he continued to gaze intently at a golden necklace, quietly thinking: if one day he could buy a necklace for each of Xiao Ying and her friends to wear, they'd look even more beautiful. "Hey, kid, are you deaf? Can you afford anything here? Hurry up and get out of our way—don't stand in the way of our business!" The young man, seeing Lu Yun ignoring him completely, grew increasingly impatient. Most of the customers who came to the store were affluent residents from the county town—someone like Lu Yun, dressed simply and ordinary, was truly a first-time sight. What kind of business are you running, pushing customers out like this? You're the owner here, aren't you?" Lu Yun frowned. The young man sneered, "Buy something? Don't you think I'm just a village kid, looking at your clothes?" "By the gods, what's wrong with being from the village? If you're from the village, have you seen your mom bathing? Or have you even sneaked into your sister's room at night? You're a real piece of work! I'm not leaving. I'm calling your owner here and having a business meeting with him." Lu Yun boomed, his sharp, piercing gaze making the young man's hair stand on end. Their voices had already drawn the attention of the few customers in the store. Several men and women turned to look. Suddenly, one female customer rushed to Lu Yun and called out, "Are you Lu Yun?" Lu Yun turned to look in the direction of the sound and noticed that the woman before him was exceptionally beautiful and striking—familiar in a way. Suddenly it hit him: wasn’t this woman the elegant, well-cared-for young wife, Weiwei, whom he had once thoroughly tormented in the lingerie store? Lu Yun sniffed thoughtfully. The world truly was small. He had deliberately avoided Ke-xin’s lingerie shop, only to end up bumping into Weiwei, the graceful young wife, instead. "Ms. Weiwei," Lu Yun greeted her, but didn’t move toward her immediately. Ms. Weiwei, beaming with delight, came close to Lu Yun and addressed the young man in his twenties: "Qiangzi, what did my brother do to you?" The young man known as Qiangzi immediately went pale upon seeing this momentum. Ravio was their store's long-time customer—definitely someone they couldn't afford to offend. If he displeased this young lady, his own job was truly in jeopardy. Glancing appreciatively at Ravio's full chest, Qiangzi smiled politely and said, "Ravio姐, I was just joking with this young man. You two go on and catch up—let me attend to other guests." Saying that, he hurried off, mentally muttering to himself, "When did this rather plain young lady get such a humble brother?" "Liangwei, I've already had my meal," Lu Yun said as he stood by the car. He didn't know the brand of this vehicle, but it looked quite nice. "What did you have?" Liangwei asked, her face clearly displeased. "Tofu pudding..." Lu Yun smiled. "Honestly, can that even satisfy a full stomach? Come on, sister, let's go out to dinner—get in the car." Liangwei issued a firm command and started the engine. Lu Yun knew Liangwei was well-supported, and being kept busy during the day with her would surely cause trouble for whoever was supporting her. He didn't come to play games—he'd actually been looking for a reason to leave. But Liangwei's voice came again: "Hurry up! What are you staring at? Can I really keep eating you for lunch?" "Liangwei sister, I still have things to attend to—I'll take you another time," Lu Yun politely pushed back. "Even if you have things to do, you need to eat, right? Hurry up and get in the car—don't make me lose my temper!" Liangwei feigned annoyance. Lu Yun sighed and smiled, opened the car door, and got in—this car was far more comfortable than the battered station wagon from the village police station. Ruiwei said little, just pressed the accelerator and the car surged forward. Soon, they arrived at a beautifully decorated restaurant. Ruiwei turned to Lu Yun and smiled, saying, "We've arrived. Today I'm hosting, so go ahead and enjoy your meal—eat well, and you'll have the energy to get things done." The last sentence carried a clear, subtle hint. Lu Yun wiped a bead of sweat, realizing how bold this young woman had become—her words now flowed without hesitation. Clearly, after their first encounter, the relationship between them had softened considerably. Lu Yun smiled wryly as he stepped out of the car. He knew that if he didn’t make good use of Ruiwei today, she wouldn’t let him off the hook. Ruiwei smoothly led him to a private dining room on the second floor. As she entered, she waved a hand at the server accompanying her, saying, "Please serve our signature dishes—one of each—and do it quickly." The server nodded, glanced at Lu Yun with admiration, and then turned to leave. ...
