Chapter 370: Land Xiao Ying's Unusual State Since the incident in the small forest, Land Xiao Ying has been dreaming repeatedly of being passionately entangled with Lu Yun—each dream filled with happiness and warmth, so deeply immersive that she nearly lives entirely within them. Yet, when awake, her rational mind fully reveals her inner shyness, a natural instinct of a young woman seeking self-protection. As a result, when Lu Yun’s heartfelt affection begins to blaze into passion, she consciously keeps it at bay, shielding it from her body. This is the text content of Chapter 370 of "Rural Beauty 370." *waoshu8* Having experienced such a moment, Land Xiao Ying knows that if a flame ignites within her heart in front of her beloved, it can easily overwhelm her sense of reason. Now, with Lu Yun having locked the door, it's clear he intends to be intimate with her. Yet, fearing he might repeat his earlier missteps, he quickly speaks: "Lu Yun, you've been bothering me again." Lu Yun was stunned—hadn’t even touched her, and now she was being treated like she’d been bullied! If that were the case, then whenever he was with Xiao Yu, wouldn’t he have to be accused of going so far as to destroy the bodies and provoke heaven’s wrath? “Xiao Ying, I just wanted to give you a gentle touch—promise I won’t do anything else!” Lu Yun played the stubborn, refusing to get up. Xiao Ying paused for a moment, then blushed and stammered, “I didn’t mean to keep you from touching me—I just… I can’t stand it! Last time, just a few touches, and I ended up like that. What if, now, in Liu Shen’s room, I end up the same way? Then I’d be mortified beyond words!” Lu Yun chuckled, realizing finally that it was all about being unable to bear it. Knowing the girl wouldn’t lie, he sighed and rose, saying, “Very well, I’ll let you off this time. But you’ll have to let me hold you all the way until class begins.” "After saying all that, Lu Xiaoying blushed so deeply her ears turned red, and nodded shyly, saying, 'Well, just promise me you won't touch me too much.' 'I promise,' Lu Yun declared with earnestness, though a sly gleam flashed in his eyes as he spoke. Sitting up and settling onto the bed, Lu Yun smiled warmly at Lu Xiaoying. It seemed like a mere coincidence, but in the past few days, she looked even more vibrant—so fresh and lively that it felt as if every part of her could be bitten by the sheer desire to touch her. With Lu Yun's promise, Lu Xiaoying settled comfortably into his arms, resting her cheek against his chest, and murmured softly, 'It feels so good to be held by you. If it weren't for my classes, I'd just want to stay like this, held by you, until the ends of the earth and the stones turn to dust.' Lu Yun wrapped his arms around her, gently brushing his cheeks against her face, and chuckled, 'Then let's stay like this until the ends of the earth and the stones turn to dust. As long as we don't starve, we'll be happy.' "You haven't had dinner yet, haven't you? I'll go get you some food." Saying this, Lu Xiaoying reached for her feet to stand up and head to the canteen to fetch food for Lu Yun. But Lu Yun didn't let go—on the contrary, he held her tighter, chuckling, "I just don't want to eat Zhang Yi's meals; they're too tough to swallow." Lu Xiaoying pushed gently at Lu Yun, puzzled, "If you don't want to eat at the canteen, do you want to have dinner with Liu Shi instead? Maybe I can prepare something for you—don't hold me so tightly, I'm starting to feel suffocated." As Lu Yun held her even tighter, Lu Xiaoying suddenly felt an uneasy sensation rising in her chest, as though something significant was about to happen to her—something that might just involve Lu Yun's intentions. With so many classmates outside in the hall, even if Lu Yun truly wanted to do something intimate like he did in the little grove, she wouldn't dare to resist strongly or shout out loud. After all, she wasn't sure she could withstand the sheer delight of it all! Suddenly, her mind grew chaotic. Land Yun’s breath, blowing softly against the back of her neck and ears, felt itchy and pleasant, yet an indescribable sensation began spreading through her body—different from the time they had spent together in the small forest. Yet, Lu Xiaoying couldn’t quite name what it was. Could it be that, ever since she frequently dreamed of being intimate with Land Yun, her subconscious had already begun to yearn for that closeness? Lu Xiaoying suddenly felt her cheeks grow warm, silently chiding herself for her lack of modesty. She had promised Land Yun—she would never surrender her body to him before the wedding night. Yet now, she no longer felt resistance, and even harbored a quiet anticipation. Lu Xiaoying was in a state of turmoil, yet Lu Yun had been gently kissing the delicate skin of her neck without her realizing—it was only when he suddenly lifted his powerful hands toward the high, soft mound of her chest that she finally snapped back to awareness, her voice trembling as she said, "Lu Yun, I'm afraid. This content is from Chapter 370 of 'Rural Beauty.'” "What's there to be afraid of?" Lu Yun asked softly. Lu Xiaoying bit gently at her full lips. Her body, warmed by the intimate touch, had a fine layer of sweat beading on her skin. She held her hands out to gently restrain Lu Yun's hands as they explored her chest, her voice delicate and shy, "I don't know exactly. I just feel afraid whenever you touch me. My heart races as if something is wildly beating inside it. I can't control myself, but still—I want to uphold my principles. I only wish to present a complete, whole self to you when we're married. Can you understand?" Lu Yun barely furrowed his brow. He hadn't really intended to ask for Lu Xiaoying's body at all—what he hadn't expected was that Lu Xiaoying had said such a thing. Was it a psychological reaction, making her feel a sense of fear toward him, which caused her to recall the incident in the small grove every time he touched her? "I know you're uncomfortable. I'd like to give myself to you right now," she said. "Xiaoying, I'm just playing around—I don't actually want your body. Okay, from now on, I won't touch you the way I did today." Lu Yun didn't know why, but after hearing Xiaoying's words, he felt a sudden sense of awareness within himself—he realized he could no longer treat her the same way. Lu Xiaoying pressed close to Lu Yun’s chest, murmuring, “Lu Yun, I know that when other boys and girls are together, they always have affectionate gestures—even if they don’t engage in intimate acts, they’ll inevitably kiss or caress each other. But I… I just can’t seem to do that.” Lu Yun gently interrupted her, smiling softly, “Stupid little one. It’s all my fault—I kept bothering you earlier, leaving a lasting impression in your heart. It will gradually fade away.” “No, Lu Yun…” Lu Xiaoying suddenly seemed transformed, supporting Lu Yun’s chin, her eyes glistening with tears, “I don’t know what’s happening to me. As soon as you touch me, I find myself unable to resist wanting to do those things with you. Am I no longer the little Xiaoying I used to be?” Lu Yun had no idea what had happened to Lu Xiaoying—today she seemed completely different, speaking in strange, hard-to-believe words. Her heart filled with growing concern, and she held her tightly, reassuring her: "Just talk nonsense, you're still the same clever, kind, beautiful, and gentle Xiaoying I've always loved. I'll never give up on you." ... Village Beauty 370, Main Text 370 – Lu Xiaoying's unusual behavior updated!
