Country Beauty 398, Main Text 398 Let's make a deal, shall we? Chapter 398 Let's make a deal, shall we? Land Yun was startled by that sudden cry, nearly tripping and falling into the manure pit. Steadying himself, he realized that just beyond the wall, in the women's restroom, there was another woman who had been watching him—clearly, she had seen the entire scene of his self-solution. The details of the small holes in the wall, which were originally made by men to peek at the women, were now all reversed: Land Yun, the man, had been unexpectedly caught in the women's gaze. The incident had happened so suddenly that Land Yun hadn't immediately recognized the cry as coming from Zhang Yunqian. He fastened his belt and walked steadily toward the wall, stopping close enough to find a hole and peering through. He wanted to see which brave woman dared to watch him during his private moment. Yet, strangely, while he saw the scene inside the women's restroom, he only noticed one bright, unblinking eye. Wow! Lu Yun stepped back, damn it—was she really a woman? They'd heard that once, in a women's restroom, a woman had taken medicine and died without recovery. Could it be that woman's spirit was watching him now? It was scorching hot outside, yet a cold shiver ran down his spine. Zhang Yunqian had been solely focused on preventing Lu Yun from cutting himself off, only to find him suddenly approaching and locking eyes with her. Startled, she quickly diverted her gaze from the wall. Lu Yun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looked up at the blazing sun overhead, thinking—how bold was this ghost! How could she dare to scare him so boldly in broad daylight? This content is from Chapter 398 of "Rural Beauty." He’d just see what kind of woman this female ghost really looked like! Stepping back a few paces, he then surged forward, planted his right foot against the wall, used both hands to grip the wall's edge, and with a powerful arm drive, leaned sideways and leapt up, climbing onto the wall. "Girl...” Lu Yun climbed up to the wall, quickly glanced inside the girls' restroom, and was about to say the word "lustful" when he realized—what was the girl doing here? It wasn't a girl at all. It was Zhang Yunqian, the one who had repeatedly sent him to her office at night. He hadn't expected her to be so graceful, and even more surprising, she liked to secretly watch him when he was relaxing. "Zhang... Zhang Teacher, isn't it you?" Lu Yun sat awkwardly on the wall, neither going up nor down, while staring at Zhang Yunqian, who was equally stunned. No matter how graceful and stylish Zhang Yunqian was, she was still a dedicated teacher at the school. To have secretly observed a male student using the restroom—especially one that involved him relieving himself himself—would surely be career-ending if it ever got out. Staring awkwardly at Lu Yun seated on the wall, Zhang Yunqian said, "I just noticed you looked unwell when you came to the restroom, so I followed you out, hoping you might need help. I never expected..." She couldn't bring herself to finish the rest of her sentence, standing there frozen, as if a child caught doing something wrong, being scolded by a parent. Lu Yun was utterly frustrated—clearly, everything had been seen, every moment of the most intimate scenes had been captured. Truly, this was a source of deep annoyance. "Lu Yun, could you please not mention this to anyone else?" Zhang Yunqian pleaded, "If Lu Yun spreads this news, she'll lose her job at the classroom completely. Relying on her husband to support the household simply won't be feasible. That's why she'd go along with such a thing with the principal, an old man from the education committee. Even if Zhang Yunqian doesn't insist, Lu Yun wouldn't say a word about it himself. Good heavens—imagine if it got out that he goes to the restroom during class, handling it himself, while being secretly observed by female teachers. That kind of embarrassment would be far worse than the time he was caught stealing the parallel bars and ended up being taken to the police station. Seeing Lu Yun silent, Zhang Yunqian grew uneasy. After a moment's thought, she said, 'Lu Yun, how about we make a deal?' Deal! Lu Yun was taken aback—did you really secretly watch him and now want to make a deal with him? 'Teacher Zhang, I don't think there's much we can exchange, do you?' Lu Yun was ready to give her a little push. Since you're afraid this matter will be made public, I'll take the opportunity to gently press you—just a small reprimand for secretly watching me. The content is from Chapter 398 of the rural beauty series. Zhang Yunqian said, "You wait here and come with me to the office." Then she went off by herself to the women's restroom. When Lu Yun saw Zhang Yunqian had gone, he realized he couldn't just stay on the wall—he'd be in a real bind if any female employee came to use the restroom and saw him squatting there, in which case he'd have no defense at all. He jumped down from the wall and started walking toward the office, thinking over what Zhang Yunqian had said. Was there something he'd been holding back? Did she have some leverage over him? Besides that night when he'd broken the glass in the education commission director's office and had seen her and the director busy with something, he hadn't had much direct contact with Zhang Yunqian since. Lu Yun stared at the ground, thinking hard, but couldn't figure out what was going on. As the tent faded into view, his mood instantly brightened. He thought to himself: "Life without a tent must be so beautiful!" Zhang Yunqian had already been waiting for Lu Yun at a distance of several dozen meters from the restroom. Seeing him walk slowly toward her, she approached and said, "Lu Yun, let's go to my office—we should talk properly." Lu Yun nodded, then asked, "Zhang Teacher, what exactly is the deal? It feels a bit odd to me." "Just go," Zhang Yunqian replied, and then walked ahead toward her office. Frustrated, he wondered why he had suddenly spoken up—how could anyone be so foolish as to cut away his very masculine identity? Was it perhaps because he had noticed something unusually majestic in him? Her mind was in a whirl. Though she wasn't exactly a chaste, devoted housewife, she still relied on her modest income as a teacher to support her family. What if... She couldn't think any further. Her steps were unsteady; with a sudden misstep, her foot kicked against a brick half-buried in the ground, only its corner exposed, and she stumbled forward, nearly falling. Lu Yun followed closely behind. As she cried out and fell forward, he didn't hesitate—without a thought—he swiftly stepped in and caught her, asking, "Ms. Zhang, are you all right?" "Fine," she replied. Lu Yun helped her up, and suddenly felt a familiar softness in his arms. It was then he realized his arms were pressed firmly against the generous curve of Ms. Zhang's chest. He quickly pulled his arms back, saying, "Ms. Zhang, I didn't mean to—" Ms. Zhang smiled gently, "I'm not at all upset." "... Country Beauty 398, Main Text 398 Let's make a deal! Updated!"
