The Country Beauty 368, Main Text 368 My wife, my wife— The man with the scar on his face gestured and talked to Zhao Kai, saying something he clearly didn’t care to share. In no time, he and the three young guys left the school, deliberately avoiding Zhao Kai. Lu Yun quickly rushed from the other side toward the school gate, only to see a sedan speeding off, kicking up a cloud of dust. This content consists of the textual narrative from Chapter 368 of The Country Beauty 368. Lu Yun paused, thought carefully, then stepped into Liu’s small grocery store, helping Liu manage the shop while quietly pondering the relationship between the man with the scar and Zhao Kai. However, one thing Lu Yun was certain of: the man with the scar had decided to leave the school because he thought Lu Yun—a mere young kid—was simply not worth the effort of the four of them. In contrast, Zhao Kai had been brought in specifically as their ally to counter Lu Yun. Goodness! When I first saw Zhao Kai, I always thought he was no ordinary guy. I never expected him to actually have connections with the city folks—how well he knows the scar-faced one speaks volumes about their relationship. "What's wrong with Xiao Yun? You seem distracted. Are you feeling unwell?" Liu's wife suddenly took over the round ball pen from Lu Yun and retrieved a fresh one from the counter. Lu Yun realized he had picked the wrong one and quickly replied, "Nothing serious. I might just be tired." Liu's wife nodded, showing her concern, "Then go rest in the room for a while. I'll handle things here. Xiao Ying might come by later—I'll just ask her to lend a hand." Lu Yun chuckled, "No problem. The more I lie down, the more tired I feel. By the way, has Xiao Ying been coming by lately?" "Yes, she's quite reliable. Unlike you, she never makes me worry." This content is from Chapter 368 of "Rural Beauty." Li Guo-fu indirectly praised Lu Xiaoying. Lu Yun chuckled, his face as thick as a city wall, and said, "Of course—I have absolutely no doubt about my judgment." With the scar-faced man gone, only Zhao Kai remained, and Lu Yun felt reasonably confident. Otherwise, he truly wouldn't have been able to handle the scar-faced man and his companions. Though the students at school might not dare to physically attack him, these people were accustomed to pulling underhanded moves. Lu Yun hadn't yet mastered his skills, and even if he didn't face the scar-faced man directly, just one of those three yellow-haired guys stepping up would be enough to overwhelm him. There was one thing Lu Yun didn't know: Wang Hei-tu had suffered such a major setback that he had nearly lost his resolve to defeat Lu Yun. That was why he had sent the scar-faced man and his three yellow-haired companions to the school. Yet, it was a case of both roof leak and continuous rain—Wang Hei-tu had been beaten up, and then business matters also went awry, forcing the four to be urgently recalled. As a result, Lu Yun had narrowly escaped the situation. If it weren't for that, the Now the only one left to deal with is Zhao Kai. Last time, when Xiao Yu had a quarrel with Juanzi in the dormitory and managed to defeat several of my subordinates single-handedly, Zhao Kai certainly wouldn't let that go unpunished. Now, with Wang Heihǔ's matter added to the mix, he's definitely not going to be easy to handle. While chatting with Liu Matriarch, he's also thinking whether, just as Lei said, he truly needs some of his own subordinates to stand up and compete with Zhao Kai. "Hey, Xiao Yun, I've always been puzzled about the relationship between Hongyu and you. That young lady is quite nice, and she's been helping me out quite a bit lately," Liu Matriarch said. Lu Yun was taken aback and replied honestly, "My wife." Li Guo-fu was momentarily stunned upon hearing this, only regaining her composure when a student gently reminded her. While attending to her customers, she whispered sharply, "Hey, I told you this little sprout wanted to keep two boats sailing—well, let me tell you, Xiao Ying may look gentle and frail on the outside, but she's actually quite stubborn. Once she finds out about this, I'm certain she'll do something foolish, and then you'll regret it." After pausing, she murmured, "Though, looking at the way those two girls get along, it's really puzzling—what's going on between you three?" Lu Yun smiled and said, "Auntie, I do have a bit of a dual-relationship situation going on, but it's actually the result of Xiao Ying and Xiao Yu's joint decision—they insist on fair competition. I'm just like this ice cream stick, a shared possession between them, always ready to be snapped and eaten by either one. Honestly, I'm the one who's truly in the most trouble." "Li Guo-fu was taken aback again, growing more and more confused about her children's thoughts. She sighed and said, 'The more I talk, the more I'm puzzled. But I'll tell you this—both of them are good children. You must keep your balance and not act too casually. This content is from Chapter 368 of "Rural Beauty with a Radiant Grace." Lastly, she added with a touch of sentiment, 'In the end, it's always the women who get hurt.' Lu Yun smiled silently. Now, her children's thinking has such a gap from hers—what a generation shift! How can one develop if their minds aren't mature? Though currently the development is focused on the physical, who knows what might happen in the future beyond that! 'Lu Yun, when did you return? Has Uncle San recovered?' Without realizing it, Lu Xiao-ying had stepped in and asked Lu Yun. Lu Yun hadn't even opened her mouth when Liu's widow took up the conversation with a smile, saying, "Xiao Ying, we've just been talking about you. We didn't expect you to arrive so promptly. Little Yun has been a bit tired lately—why don't you two go to the inner room and rest a while? I can manage on my own." Xiao Ying, as perceptive as a little sprite, instantly picked up the subtle meaning behind the widow's words, blushing and saying, "Aunt, I'm here to help you, not to seek out Yun. Let him rest in his room if he's tired—I don't care to bother him." Lu Yun looked deeply embarrassed, saying, "Xiao Ying, I didn't even get a chance to say hello to you. Now I'm apologizing to you!" "What does it matter to me? I only care about my brother-in-law's health. Just stop standing there and help me sell the goods!" In front of Liu's widow, Xiao Ying felt a little shy about being too close to Lu Yun, so she gave him a withering glance and added, "If you really feel tired, go rest in the inner room first." “Lu Yun chuckled, ‘It’s still Xiao Ying who truly cares for me. Liu Aunt only makes me do chores and never treats me to anything delicious.’ Liu, the widow, was bending over at the lower level of the counter, searching for something. Upon hearing this, she rose and scolded, ‘Little turtle! You only think of pleasing Xiao Ying. Be careful—don’t offend me, or I’ll send you out to eat corn on the cob!’ Xiao Ying blushed deeply and gave Lu Yun a firm pinch. Seeing Xiao Ying’s fresh, glowing face, Lu Yun felt instantly at ease. Though the pinch hurt, he smiled widely, saying, ‘To hit is to love; to pinch—what is that? Is it love down to the very bones?’ As soon as he finished speaking, the girls waiting outside the counter burst into laughter. They looked at Xiao Ying with envy and admiration, so much so that Xiao Ying felt embarrassed and wanted to stick tape over Lu Yun’s mouth right then. Liu, the widow, shook her head with a smile—these two were truly delightful. They constantly pinch each other, yet remain deeply fond of one another. ...
