Chapter 1466: The youthful girl's protest was quite charming, about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in a neat dress, with her hair tied in a ponytail. She had a pure and delicate appearance, yet now her face was flushed with embarrassment and indignation, glaring fiercely at a boy beside her. "You're making it up! Who ever touched your chest? It's not even particularly large—how could I possibly find it interesting?" The boy, completely at ease with his own exposure, spoke with confidence and glanced at the girl with a look of disdain, his gaze naturally drawn to the well-developed chest she now displayed. As soon as he spoke, the other boys burst into laughter, though they clearly didn't find his words convincing. After all, the girl's chest was indeed quite impressive, and his remark seemed inconsistent—yet most of them believed her anger, given that it was common in this small convenience store for boys to take advantage of the crowd, many of whom had done just that before.
Yet the girls in the room collectively rolled their eyes at the boy. "You... you're utterly shameless!" the girl exclaimed, nearly eager to stride forward and give him two solid punches. The boy grinned, revealing a straight row of yellowed teeth, and joked, "Every single one, not a single one missing." The girl stared, utterly speechless—faced with such a shameless man, she felt completely helpless, her eyes brimming with unshed tears. "Now, you're a tall, handsome lad—how is it impressive to bully a girl like this? If you don't buy something right now, just go! Don't disrupt our business," Po Yu said, the most fiery among them, always disliking boys who acted openly unkind and especially fond of picking on girls. The boy chuckled softly, saying nothing, but his gaze began to drift steadily over Po Yu's increasingly well-developed, curvaceous figure. He even exaggeratedly licked his lips, as though he wanted to swallow her whole. "Get out of here!"
"Such a fool, staring so openly at his woman, finally pushed Lan Yun over the edge. With a leap, he launched himself over the counter, intent on dragging the boy out to give him a good scolding. Since Gao Yang had caused a scene in the convenience store and been thoroughly reprimanded by Lan Yun, no one had dared to stir any trouble there afterward. Yet today, someone had stepped up—someone who not only took advantage of another girl's body, got what he wanted, and then promptly vanished, but who now dared to gaze at Shiyu with such blatant, lecherous attention. It was simply ridiculous. "Lan Yun, please don't intervene," said Xiao Ying, who though she found the boy's demeanor distasteful, didn't want to see Lan Yun continue fighting. She knew that while Lan Yun had managed to gain admission to the secondary school easily, if he kept going on like this, things would eventually go wrong. Not only would it hurt the hearts of the girls, but if a serious incident occurred, Lan Yun's entire life might be ruined. "I won't intervene."
"Lu Yun didn't turn around, simply replied, but that didn't mean he wouldn't give the stubborn guy a good scolding. "What do you want?" The boy felt instantly intimidated as Lu Yun approached him. Lu Yun's reputation for being fierce in fights had spread throughout the school—even people from the Eagle's Grasp village weren't his match. To actually fight Lu Yun would be nothing but a one-way suffering. "You've taken advantage and still act proud. And some advantages aren't even within your reach. If you want to thrive over the long term, you've got to know your own strengths and weaknesses." With that, Lu Yun glanced at the girl who had just been brushed off by the boy, then fixed his eyes back on the boy. "Just apologize. That's it. As for your unreasonable behavior toward Shi Yu earlier, I'll let this one slide. But if it happens again, I'll blind you with my own hands." "Apologize. Apologize right now."
"Watching the boy shrink under Landun's presence, several girls in the room immediately grew animated, creating a chaotic atmosphere and putting pressure on him. 'Exactly—get up and apologize!' 'Have him kneel down and apologize publicly, so this so-called ladies' man learns what happens when he bullies girls!' 'Yes, have him kneel. If he won't kneel, then he'll have to go straight to the principal and be expelled.' With some support, the girls became increasingly disruptive, loudly encouraging the boy. This time, he seemed much more composed—only a few voiced agreement, while the rest remained silent. 'Landun, it doesn't matter if he kneels or not; as long as he understands what went wrong, that's enough,' Xiao Ying gently suggested. 'Still not enough.'
"Shi Yu suddenly appeared—this is the first time since getting to know Xiao Ying that she's disagreed with her opinion," said Shi Yu. "Xiao Ying, this kind of person deserves a good scolding. Otherwise, he'll keep making the same mistake next time."
"Shi Yu, if we keep this up, it will affect our business," Xiao Ying said, not noticing the way the young man had been making passes at Shi Yu. If she had seen that, even with her gentle nature, she would have definitely taken action.
"Sorry to have caused you any trouble. I'll just let this matter drop. I'll be more careful from now on. Thank you both," the girl, who had been accosted, said softly, with a delicate tone.
"Lu Yun, I think we should just let it go now. After all, this sister has already made it clear."
Shi Yu furrowed her brows, but didn't dare to strongly push back against Xiao Ying's stance. If it were up to her, she'd have given that man who had been so openly leering at her a good beating today.
"Get out," Lu Yun said, glancing at the young man and speaking
If granted a pardon, the boy nodded vigorously, like a chicken pecking at grain, then turned around and hurriedly fled from the convenience store. "Hmph," Shi Yu stomped her feet, pinched Landun's arm, and with a look of indignation, entered the counter. "Just stop looking! Those who need to buy something should go ahead and do so—those who don't need to buy should stop taking advantage of girls during the chaos. If such a scene happens again, I'll make them pay for it with complaints, stomping, and even eye-gouging." With the excitement gone, the people in the room resumed their activities. The ones who had been lingering in the store hoping to take advantage of the situation vanished quickly—neither out of fear of Shi Yu's outburst nor out of fear of being discovered and then receiving a stern beating from Landun. "Thank you so much today," the girl who had been taken advantage of said, straightening a strand of hair from her forehead and offering her thanks to Landun and Xiao Ying. "It's nothing. When something like this happens in our store, it's our duty to step in," Xiao Ying smiled warmly at the girl.
"My name is Liu Yang, from Class 3-1. You must be busy—when you have time, I'll come back and thank you." Liu Yang said, glancing at Lu Yun briefly before stepping out of the shop. "Don't look at him anymore—get busy! We're about to have class." Xiao Ying whispered playfully. "Uh... I didn't look." Lu Yun scratched his head. He had only glanced at the girl named Liu Yang, yet he hadn't managed to escape Xiao Ying's sharp observation. "The puppy's lying," Xiao Ying said, and then got back to work.
And looking at the few male customers inside the convenience store, Lu Yun suddenly said, "Ladies and gentlemen inside, pay attention—my convenience store is a business, not a place where certain gentlemen with less-than-pleasant intentions come to take advantage of the girls. From now on, I welcome all of you to shop at my store, Lu Yun's. But if any of you come to cause trouble or make passes at the girls, and should that happen again, don't blame me for turning cold. Please pass this message along to each other—should anything actually happen, I won't be surprised if people say I'm heartless and ruthless."
