Miss Liang, you'd better go to the inner room with this young lad and rest a while—otherwise, what fine words will come out of his mouth? This content is the chapter text of "Rural Beauty 369." Knowing that Lu Yun has a thick skin, Mrs. Liu was worried Miss Liang wouldn't bear it, so she quickly arranged for the two of them to go to the inner room. Let them fuss and make a scene as they please. Lu Yun naturally welcomed the move, but Miss Xiao Ying felt a little shy. How would it look to go to the inner room with Lu Yun in front of everyone? Even Mrs. Liu could manage that. But as she thought about Mrs. Liu’s words, she genuinely feared Lu Yun might say something that would make her face flush. So she nodded hesitantly. Lu Yun, however, didn’t care what others thought. If two people were in love, wouldn’t they want to be seen in love? Love should be bold, passionate, and radiate with intensity! Without hesitation, he took Miss Xiao Ying’s hand and led her into the inner room. "Don’t let go yet?" "Entering the inner room, Lu Xiaoying甩ed her arms. Lu Yun casually closed the door and smiled brightly, "With nobody around, what could I be afraid of? Didn't you miss me?" "No, I didn't really think about you. I never even told anyone when I left." Lu Xiaoying said with a pout, yet there was no trace of anger on her face. Lu Yun took her hand and led her to the bed, sitting down with a sigh, "Then what shall I do if I miss you? Xiao Yu already told you, didn't she? Don't get upset now." Lu Xiaoying huffed, "You're still lying to me! My father came to the town for a meeting and stopped by to see me. I asked my uncle—turns out he wasn't even ill. When my father arrived, he saw him working in the fields with my mother! This content is from Chapter 369 of 'Rural Beauty.' " Lu Yun felt a sudden jolt of nerves—by heaven, this village chief always shows up to give him a stern lesson at the most critical moments. Is it truly destined that he will always lose to him? Since the village head had unintentionally exposed his own lies, Lu Yun would definitely be unhappy if he didn’t tell the truth. After all, he hadn’t done anything wrong—telling the truth to her would be perfectly fine. So he smiled warmly, wrapped Li Xiaoying in his arms, and recounted everything that had happened over the past two days. “Xiaoying, I’m telling you everything that’s true. If you don’t believe me, just ask Li Tingting when she comes to school—she’ll confirm it for herself,” Lu Yun nearly swore on the heavens. Held in Lu Yun’s arms, Li Xiaoying felt warm and cozy. She smiled and said, “That’s doing a good deed! Why hide it from me and Hongyu? I thought you’d gotten into trouble again. Next time, just tell me the truth—I’m not someone who’s unreasonable.” Indeed, he had gotten into trouble—though he was absolutely unwilling to reveal that he had beaten up the powerful black boss from the county town, for fear that Xiaoying would be constantly worried about him. Lu Yun, with a sheepish expression, said, "I'm still afraid you two will feel jealous." "Ugh," Lu Xiaoying drew a small breath, pinched Lu Yun's forehead, and said, "Don't you feel guilty yourself? Are you really afraid we'll get jealous? Come on, admit it—haven't you developed a new interest in Liu Tingting?" Lu Yun, feeling embarrassed, stammered, "Can I possibly avoid answering this question?" "No way," Lu Xiaoying insisted, with a slightly stubborn tone. "I don't care. Little Yu told me that a very beautiful girl recently transferred into your class, who keeps glancing at you during class. Hmph! You really have a gift for attracting girls. Every time a girl shows interest in you, you're off to the next one. From now on, I and Little Yu will keep a close eye on you—so you won't get distracted by too many admirers." Lu Yun suddenly pushed Lu Xiaoying down onto the bed, buried his face in her snowy neck, and smirked, "Men are naturally passionate—this is just part of their hero's charm. Who among heroes wouldn't love beautiful women? When "It's just like there's a guy who likes me—though not exactly because my little sister, Lu Xiaoying, is particularly beautiful, is it?" Lu Yun's casual remark unexpectedly reminded Lu Xiaoying of the incident when, while Lu Yun was being held at the police station after accidentally stealing the parallel bars, Gao Yang had been bothering her. Lu Yun had just happened to witness this and, together with Zhou Quan, had ended up fighting Gao Yang fiercely. "It's all just their one-sided feelings," Lu Xiaoying said, a touch of wounded pride in her voice. "In my heart, I've always only had you." "I know," Lu Yun smiled warmly, surprised that his casual words had stirred such feelings in Lu Xiaoying. He quickly tried to comfort her. "I was just saying it casually, Xiaoying—don't take it too seriously. Come on, let me give you a proper kiss to make it up to you." And so, he truly kissed her gently on the smooth, delicate neck. Lu Xiaoying giggled with delight, dodging Lu Yun's relentless kisses and instinctively bringing her hands to her chest, setting up a solid defensive posture. Lu Yun had originally pressed Lu Xiaoying beneath him, her chest pressed against his, feeling wonderfully comfortable—yet unexpectedly, just as he was about to fully enjoy the moment, Lu Xiaoying had perfected her defenses, making him utterly unwilling to give up! How could he not touch her, not even let her feel his warmth? Lu Yun chuckled dryly, "I've locked the door from the inside. They can only enter by knocking it down. Didn't you understand M. Liu's intention when she invited us in? She's been meaning to give us a private space for a few days—just to spend some quality time together, to get cozy. Now we're finally together, but we haven't quite warmed up yet. Let's warm up now, shall we?" Although Lu Xiaoying didn't quite grasp what Lu Yun meant by "warm up," she knew well that he was always full of clever schemes, always thinking of ways to gain an advantage—never saying anything truly kind. With a determined push, she urged Lu Yun away, her voice soft and delicate, "No, I don't want to. If you'd like to warm up, go on and have a bowl of hot water yourself. I'm not going to join you in all this fuss." Lu Yun laughed heartily, pressing his entire body against Lu Xiaoying, his hands firmly gripping her hands, and said, "Just let me touch you a little. We agreed before the wedding that I shouldn't touch you at all—just a few gentle touches, surely? Every time I see Lu Xiaoying didn't know where he'd come up with all these odd and strange theories, but no matter how he twisted and turned, it always came down to trying to get the better of her. She absolutely wouldn't let him succeed, or else this time he'd get a clear read on her heart and surely make even more unreasonable demands in the future. Thinking back to how Lu Yun had nearly taken her in that little forest, she realized she wasn't as composed as she'd thought. At that moment, Lu Yun had only gently caressed her body, yet it was she who had finally lost her composure and her senses. If it hadn't been for that night owl suddenly calling out, she would have surely given herself up to Lu Yun... ...Rural Beauty 369, Main Text 369—updated!
