Chapter 1160: An Unintended Move The dishes were served one after another, and Rose sat across from Lu Yun, smiling gently. "Eat up," she said. "You look pale and thin—definitely not getting enough to eat at school. I think it's time you moved to the county town. I'll cover the expenses. All you need to do is come visit me often." Lu Yun stood there, drenched in sweat. With his current frame—having grown strong since drinking the ten-complete-tonic soup prepared by his uncle with the thick hair—he now looked like a sturdy ox. He'd never heard anyone describe him as pale and undernourished before. When someone shows interest without a clear reason, it's either sincere or insincere. Lu Yun subtly pursed his lips, yet made sure to put on a full display of politeness, for after all, the other party had invited him to dinner—there’s no such thing as a hand that refuses a smile. Though he knew exactly what Miss Cangwei was up to, he still smiled warmly and said, “Miss Cangwei, I truly appreciate your kindness. But I’m rather plain, a native country bumpkin from the countryside, and I find it hard to adjust to city life.” Cangwei was taken aback, not expecting such a straightforward refusal from Lu Yun, and found herself even more intrigued by this young man’s charm. She teased, “Indeed, a naturally rustic country kid—yet he goes shopping at the city’s most prestigious jewelry store. I’ve lived for over twenty years, and I’ve never seen anyone so capable and resourceful.” Undoubtedly, Cangwei is a woman with a strong appeal to men. Aside from her carefully maintained reserve in public, she is, in truth, a veritable poison—her every glance, expression, gesture, and word is a refined and lethal dose. Lu Yun smiled slightly, hesitated, and didn’t answer. The five tears that never melted on his own body were worth a fortune. While eating, Ruiwei suddenly cast a pensive glance at Lu Yun and said, “Tell me, why didn’t you come to see me last week?” On the way to the restaurant, Lu Yun had already thought out his words. When Ruiwei asked him now, he responded calmly and deliberately: “Ruiwei姐, I’m just a student—still a young, tender grass. Should I really be treated as a ‘white-faced’ type?” Recalling the time when they had done something special together and Ruiwei had given him one thousand yuan, Ruiwei blushed slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed. “That was our first meeting, wasn’t it? How could I let you work all that hard for nothing? Well, let’s not talk about that anymore. Hurry up and eat—otherwise the dishes will get cold and lose their flavor.” Lu Yun had been longing for this meal all along, yet Ling Wei only took a small bite of each dish—letting Lu Yun, the food enthusiast, enjoy the feast. Lu Yun, in turn, devoured the entire table with gusto, leaving behind only the empty plates. Ling Wei looked at Lu Yun in surprise—how could this young man be so hungry? But then she recalled how fiercely he had been during their previous activities, and immediately understood: one had to have a strong physique to be as vigorous as a wild beast. "Are you full now?" Ling Wei asked, smiling at Lu Yun. Lu Yun nodded, blushing slightly and saying, "Ling Wei姐, this has been the most delicious meal I've ever had. You barely touched your food, and I ended up eating everything." While Lu Yun's praise of the taste was genuine, the significance of the meal, in terms of meaning, wasn't quite as profound. Ling Wei smiled and then took Lu Yun downstairs to settle the bill. Once they were in the car, Ling Wei looked at Lu Yun sitting in the passenger seat and asked, "Shall we go to Shun Tai Jewelry?" Lu Yun hesitated a moment, then nodded. "Yes, let's go. I have something I'd like to sell." As she was about to start the car, Rui was suddenly taken aback. Was Lu Yun selling something to Shun Tai Jewels? She thought she might have misunderstood, and emphasized, "Are you sure?" Lu Yun smiled. "Rui姐, I'm not hiding it from you—I have a few beads I'd like to sell. In this county, only Shun Tai Jewels can handle such a purchase." Such confidence! Rui studied Lu Yun curiously and asked, "Then, could you show me your beads? Maybe I'd be willing to buy them. That way, you wouldn't have to go all the way to Shun Tai. After all, bigger stores often treat their customers poorly—especially someone your age, who's still quite young, is most vulnerable to that." Lu Yun has always trusted his intuition. He chose not to keep secret the fact that he was selling tears because he sensed that although this woman was well-supported, her essence was not bad. In today’s world, where materialistic women are everywhere, it’s nothing unusual that she should be a rose. Nevertheless, Lu Yun remained cautious, offering only a single tear, which he gently held in his palm and carefully presented to the rose. How small a thing is this? The rose took it with genuine curiosity, finding Lu Yun’s careful demeanor quite amusing. Yet, as soon as she held the drop of never-frozen tear, her smile vanished, and a sudden sense of tenderness spread across her face. "Rosa, what’s wrong?" Lu Yun asked, surprised. Rosa regained her composure and offered a bright smile. "This... this seems like a woman’s tear. I can feel the emotions of sorrow and tears she once experienced, but how is it possible that this tear has solidified into a drop? It’s truly strange." Lu Yun was taken aback—this woman's intuition was truly astonishing. He had almost found himself unable to resist telling the peony, "This is a tear from a woman's eye," yet recalling Yang Yanping's unusual background, he decided to hold off on revealing it. The peony seemed genuinely fond of the tear in her hands, and with a smile, asked, "Little Yun, how much would you like to charge for this bead?" Lu Yun thought, trouble! The value of his bead was ten thousand yuan—even if he sold it to Shun Tai Jewelry, it would surely fetch several thousand yuan per piece. Yet from the way the peony looked at it, it was clear she had truly grown attached to it. Should he really ask her for money now? Seeing Lu Yun hesitated, Cangwei smiled and said, "Little guy, although I'm not particularly wealthy, I do have some spare cash. Since you managed to secure the beads at Shun Tai Jewelry, the price must be quite reasonable. I won't let you worry—right now, I have about thirty thousand yuan, all of which I'm giving you. If that's not enough, we can make up the difference later. Of course, you'll have to come personally to collect it. Don't think I'll send it to you, nor should you expect me to just vanish without a word." "Cangwei姐, what are you talking about? It's just one bead, right? What do I need your money for? If you like it, take it. If you keep asking for more money, I'll be furious!" Lu Yun blurted out, his heart now filled with regret—thirty thousand yuan! In their village, that could build several decent tile-roofed houses. Rosa didn't even bother with any formalities, simply rushing to Lu Yun and saying, "Then I'll take it, but it can't be a free gift, can it? I'll compensate you with my body—well, let's just say it's your way of covering the cost of keeping me, hehe." When mentioning the idea of being supported, Rosa showed absolutely no hesitation, as if it were the most ordinary thing in the world. "Uh... Rosa, that won't do at all..." Before Lu Yun could finish speaking, Rosa frowned and scolded, "What? Did Ke-xin tell you that I used to be supported by someone? Do you think I'm dirty now?" Lu Yun quickly waved her hands, realizing just how difficult this woman could be. "Well, that's settled then. Let me be honest—my elder, the one who's been supporting me, isn't really committed. He's doing it merely for the fun of it, just keeping up with the trend. I'm not some chaste, traditional lady. Life is short; if I'm not enjoying it fully, what's the point of living? Fine, that's it. Don't think I don't know where you live. If you disagree, just go straight to your home and make me your wife. "Ruiwei said this with full confidence, yet ended with a little pout, watching Lu Yun's handsome face turn into a look of pure misery, laughing softly and playfully. Well, it seems she's ended up supporting a vibrant, beautiful woman with the tears of Yanping sister. Hmm... Lu Yun now finds himself wondering whether Ruiwei should actually be classified as a woman of her years. ... No ads, fully text-based, first publication on 138看书网—www.13800100.com, your best choice!
