Country Beauty No. 364, Main Text No. 364 – "I'm Taking Advantage of You" Chapter 364 – "I'm Taking Advantage of You" Back at school before the morning classes started, Lu Yun parked his car and headed straight to Tie Xinlan's office—first to check on how the matter between her and Yang Yanping was progressing, and second to update her on Wang Hehui's situation. If she could help him manage it, that would be ideal; if not, at least he’d be glad to learn a few self-defense techniques to handle things on his own. "The kid's getting bolder by the day—he even dared to smash the glass of the Education Commission chief. Are you really planning on giving up your studies?" "Miss Xinlan, I admit I broke the glass in the Education Commission chief's office. But if I hadn't gone there to smash that glass, I wouldn't have encountered Wang—someone who was making moves on you." Lu Yun knew the incident with the broken glass couldn't be hidden from Fei Xinlan, so he waved his fist and said, "That old fool has always been giving me that smug, lecherous look. Every time I see him, I just want to give him a good slap." Fei Xinlan didn't particularly care about the broken glass, but when Lu Yun mentioned the incident from yesterday—when she'd been drugged—her face flushed slightly and she exclaimed, "Wang actually dared to do something so improper to me! Good thing he managed to escape before I could give him a solid punch. Otherwise, I'd have flattened him right there." "He truly deserves to die. When he returns to school, I'll give him two more solid slaps—right until he can't even breathe." "Although the sports teacher, Mr. Wang, is certainly frustrating, Ms. Yang Yanping is still the main player. Lu Yun gently asked, 'Miss Xinlan, what are your plans for handling Ms. Yang?' 'That's already clear,' Miss Xinlan replied. Clear? Lu Yun was suddenly struck with surprise and asked, 'Did you two have a fight?' 'What's wrong? She treated me so poorly—I should have given her a few lessons, shouldn't I? It seems you really care about her.' Miss Xinlan spoke with a hint in her tone. 'You went to her office secretly, assuming I hadn't noticed. You just tolerated her because she showed no hostility toward you. But your little cleverness means nothing to me—right now, you're just a handful of young green beans.' Hmm... Lu Yun was at a loss for words, and after a while, stammered, 'Miss Xinlan, you've already known all this, haven't you?' Miss Xinlan gave a sniff and said, 'Of course. If there weren't some connection between you two, how could she have so easily entrusted you with the remedy?' You this heartless, wandering young man—definitely my fate from a past life. Don't worry, I and Yang Yanping haven't actually had a real fight. We'll make a complete settlement of things from now on, but then you mustn't interfere. I thought once Iron Xinlan knew about my relationship with Yang Yanping, she'd be furious. Instead, she merely mentioned it lightly and said no more. Land Yun certainly wouldn't want to step on any toes, so why keep pressing the issue? "By the way, you just said you had something to tell me—what exactly is it?" Seeing Land Yun's hesitant, speechless expression, Xinlan suddenly recalled his earlier remarks. Had she misjudged him? Was there something else he wanted to share with her? Finally back on track, Land Yun sighed and said, "Miss Xinlan, I've really messed up. Yesterday, I knocked out a powerful local boss in the county town—so badly that he's half-dead now. He's definitely coming to school to get even with me." "It's no wonder that some unfamiliar faces appeared at school yesterday—turns out they were coming to bother you." Tien Xinlan furrowed her brows, looking up at Lu Yun. "You said you were going back home to take care of your uncle, so how did you end up getting involved?" "Iron Heart Lan scolded, 'Don't sound so noble—wouldn't you have been so kind if it weren't for your daughter's fresh, lively appearance?' Lu Yun smirked, 'Even if she's fresh and bright, she still doesn't compare to Iron Heart Lan's beauty. We haven't seen you for two days, and my brother and I have been going crazy!' Seeing Lu Yun approaching with a mischievous smile, Iron Heart Lan snapped, 'Enough! We're about to head to class!' But Lu Yun paid no attention to her words. He stepped behind her, wrapping his arms around her soft frame, and playfully asked, 'Lan sister, if one day I were to pass away, would you ever miss me a little?' 'Stop being ridiculous! How could you possibly fall ill? Just stay out of trouble, and you'll be fine. If you truly don't value your own life, then I'll never think of you at all!' Iron Heart Lan snapped, yet her hands remained tightly gripping Lu Yun's arms, as if afraid he might vanish at any moment." Lu Yun chuckled and, with hands that grew increasingly restless, began to gently stroke the towering peak of Iron Xinlan, his fingers moving like a pianist’s. "Stop it! You’ve been restless since you just returned. If you keep this up, won’t you grow tired of me and finally give me a good slap?" Iron Xinlan timely interposed her arms to fend off Lu Yun’s magical palms. "Under the peonies, one dies a noble death—still graceful in the afterlife. Xinlan sister is even more beautiful and gentle than the Peony Immortal." Lu Yun beamed, his voice laced with a touch of earnestness. "Xinlan sister, when will I be able to see your true, natural beauty every single day?" Iron Xinlan’s expression darkened slightly, then brightened with a composed smile. "When you’ve mastered all my skills and are strong enough to protect me." Lu Yun nodded. "Then could you teach me the techniques now? I promise to attend diligently and achieve excellent grades by the final exam." "Tie Xin Lan concentrated for a moment, then said, 'Hmm. Since you're always causing trouble, I'll teach you a simple yet practical set of punching and kicking techniques. But you must promise me that after you've learned them, you won't use them to stir up trouble—otherwise, I'll never teach you any more advanced skills again.' 'I promise!' Lu Yun was thrilled, happily grasping Tie Xin Lan's Yuxiang Peak. 'Oh, little troublemaker, you're taking advantage of me now!' ... Rural Beauty 364, Chapter 364: 'Taking Advantage of Me' updated!"
