Miss from the Countryside, Chapter 378: A Strong Sense of Jealousy
When parting from Liu Yun, Liu Yun repeatedly reminded Lu Yun to remember going to develop her barren land and to connect the well. Lu Yun readily agreed, yet his heart was fluttering—after all, Zhang Yi and Xin Lan were siblings. If he developed Zhang Yi’s land, Xin Lan would surely give him a good serving of her iron-fisted palm technique.
Liang Hongyu didn't mind Wang Shiyu at all—she just couldn't understand why Lu Yun had such a strong appeal among girls. She hadn't noticed him being so charming before. In fact, hadn't he himself managed to sweep her off her feet in the little grove just with a few well-timed moves? There's a saying: "You fall in love without needing any reason. Once someone becomes a part of your heart's image, even if they're an ordinary, unremarkable person, they suddenly become endearing. It's true that in love, one sees beauty in the beloved—when a turtle meets a green bean, can you force the green bean to become a watermelon?" "Stop being so dramatic! It's just a few glances. I'm sure he never saw anyone as bold and unashamed as me before—someone who dares to play and act silly in front of girls in class!" Lu Yun defended himself. He had certainly tasted her jealousy firsthand—it could drive a person to the brink. Without a clear explanation, she might just keep fussing.

Liang Hongyu didn't care about any of that, pouting her rosy lips and saying, "You're not to think of her at all, or else I'll never stop with you." Lu Yun sighed with regret, "What does it have to do with me? I only helped her move her desk. I haven't said a single word to her these days!" "She's so beautiful, and you're so eager—how can anyone be sure you two aren't secretly plotting something behind the scenes?" Liang Hongyu gave a delicate huff. In truth, she knew quite well that when she first expressed her feelings to Lu Yun in the little grove and he had been so attentive, he had already made it clear that he wouldn't limit himself to just a few women. Though he understood it all, the womanly sensitivity he always possessed still made it inevitable that she would occasionally flare up when the mood struck. Lu Yun smiled brightly, "What's wrong now? Are you losing confidence in yourself? I don't think she's much more beautiful than you are—just those two little cotton balls of hers seem a bit larger than yours. I haven't noticed anything else that surpasses my little Xiao Yu."
Liang Hongyu blushed and exclaimed, "Have you already touched her? Otherwise, how could you possibly know her is larger than mine?" Lu Yun hurried to say: "I'm innocent! I only made an estimate—did I make it clear?"
"Even if you made an estimate, what part of her do you want to know is better than mine? Don't you also want to take her to that little grove outside the school, study her there, and then compare her with me later?" Liang Hongyu said, her voice rising with indignation.
Lu Yun chuckled softly; clearly, the young lady was beginning to feel the acidity of her jealousy. "Little Zhu, don't you remember the 'named' women I mentioned to you? You're one of those, aren't you? Well, let me just reach in and see if she's become more watery lately."
As Lu Yun's words grew more and more incoherent, Liang Hongyu realized her words were no match for his, and that continuing the argument would only serve to entangle herself further. She quickly interjected, "Go on then—just don't be so unseemly! We're right in the classroom here."
"You still don't remember what happened during morning class, did you? I really fear that Lu Yun's unyielding nature might erupt and make a scene right there, reaching out her hand—though I did have a little hope, the timing and place simply didn't allow it, so I had to suppress my inner excitement. Once reminded by Liang Hongyu, Lu Yun remembered that Wang Dabao had been knocked senseless by a single blow from Lei and hadn't returned to class yet. Good heavens—wasn't he going to take a sick leave like the crooked chicken with the bent neck? Lei suddenly turned around and smiled, saying, 'Hongyu sister, that's not Lu Yun's fault at all. It was all my own initiative to build up my courage and establish my authority in the class. Otherwise, even if I had the courage, I wouldn't have dared to confront Wang Dabao back then.'"
Liang Hongyu finally understood. Just a couple of days after Li Lei and Lu Yun had been together, Li Lei had learned everything about fighting—perfectly absorbed, truly embodying the saying: "Those near red wood grow red; those near ink grow black."

Lu Yun rubbed his nose. It seemed Lu Yun’s jealousy wouldn’t subside anytime soon—well, let him chat and gossip with Lei, and let the young lady soak up her own little pangs of jealousy. As he stood up, his peripheral vision caught Bao Shiyu. The young girl sat straight as a board, her two cotton balls at her chest perfectly supported by the edge of the desk, making her look even more proud and full-figured. Lu Yun took the seat beside Zhang Xiaoyu and suddenly lowered his head, inhaling deeply from her desk, then gently rubbed his nose with his fingers, adopting an air of profound mystery. Lei found it amusing and asked, “Cloud Brother, what are you doing?” Lu Yun glanced at him seriously and said, “I’m trying to detect any traces of a sizzling fox.” Lei was momentarily taken aback—sizzling fox? But then it clicked—he knew exactly whom Lu Yun meant: Zhang Xiaoyu. He chuckled and asked, “So, did you smell anything?”
"Lu Yun furrowed his brow, asking, "Lei, you've sat beside her for so long—haven't you picked up any scent at all?"
Lei sighed, saying, "Cloud Brother, you don't need to remind me of my past behavior. I've been treated so badly by her, how could I even dare to get close to her and try to catch a whiff?"
Lu Yun nodded. He had always witnessed Zhang Xiaoyu's domineering attitude toward Lei without missing a beat. With a smile, he added, "Now that you've turned things around, you're a spirited fox, aren't you? If you're a spirited fox, then during class, you should take advantage—take advantage—and recover all the losses she's inflicted on you, both principal and interest."
Lei remained puzzled—how exactly could he recover those losses? Did he have to physically fight her, this spirited fox?
