The Country Beauty, 400; Main Text, 400; Chapter 400: "When the kettle isn't boiling, lift it up" Land Yun was thunderstruck by Zhang Yunqian's words and didn't know what to say. He mused, "It's no wonder she went to the restroom to sneak a look at our water flow—she clearly doesn't have much confidence in us." This content comprises the textual material from Chapter 400 of "The Country Beauty." Seeing Lu Yun's expression somewhat displeased, Zhang Yunqian smiled warmly and said, "I know that when it comes to looks, I can't quite match Professor Yang. But when it comes to physical condition, I can confidently tell you I won't fall short of her. As for experience, I'm also well assured—after all, I haven't married and settled just to be idle these years." Lu Yun secretly wiped a bead of sweat. His wife had been secretly having affairs with her husband, all the while acting so composed. Besides, although his own resources were solid, he still hadn't quite matured into a fully formed, seasoned man yet. "Professor Zhang, we've already reached an agreement. You keep mentioning Professor Yang so often—doesn't that slightly breach the terms we've set?" Lu Yun was quite put out, glanced at Zhang Yunqian coldly, and said, "If it were in the past, she at least held the status of a teacher, even though she didn't teach me—her position was still respectable. But now, Lu Yun has completely changed his impression of her. In fact, it's already been severely diminished since he saw her involved with the Education Commission chief. The content of this passage is from Chapter 400 of 'Rural Beauty in Her Prime.' Unbeknownst to Lu Yun, when he looked down on Zhang Yunqian, she didn't hold Lu Yun in high regard either—could anyone else, after all, be considered anything special who'd mix it up with her teacher? "Lu Yun, I saw you struggling so badly in the restroom—wasn't there anyone who could help you with this?" Zhang Yunqian gently slid her fingers along Lu Yun's neck, speaking softly. Hey! What a coincidence—right when I couldn't think of anything to do, I just went to the restroom to deal with my own issues. This is our very first time, and now you've seen it all! Truly, I'm in for it! Lu Yun watched Zhang Yunqian with a knowing gaze. Now he was certain she had definitely gone through her moment of passion. After failing to make headway with the Education Commissioner, she must be trying to redeem herself on his body, huh? Pfft! He wasn't going to be a mere substitute. Yet, Lu Yun quickly scanned her body again, and she was right—except for her face, which wasn't quite as radiant as Yanping's, her figure was absolutely outstanding. Of course, that depended on whom she was being compared to. If she were to face someone like a dinosaur, then Zhang Yunqian would undoubtedly be a celestial goddess descending from the heavens. The fairy, the most beautiful woman Lu Yun has ever seen is precisely the original charm of Tie Xinlan. Though he hasn't ventured beyond his own world, he's certain that Tie Xinlan stands unmatched in both grace and appearance—whether compared to anyone else, in terms of demeanor, looks, or figure. Most importantly, she truly likes him. When Lu Yun seemed slightly distracted, Yang Yunqian assumed he was pondering their relationship and thus chose not to interrupt, quietly sitting by, waiting for his response. After all, just because she could manage to keep up with Yang Yanping didn't mean she necessarily wanted to be with him. The principal of the Education Commission—a man who couldn't resist the sight of anything fleshly—wouldn't have put in any effort at all that night if it hadn't been for the matter of her promotion. Otherwise, he'd have been busy making a scene with a man who had already been half-buried in the earth for quite some time! Yang Yunqian's fingers glided along the neckline of her own neck, sending a slight itch through Lu Yun's mind, yet he remained fully absorbed, his thoughts swiftly turning over. Until Yang Yunqian smiled warmly and sat back in her chair, Lu Yun had been intently observing every shift in her expression—every subtle movement of her hands and feet—clearly registering each one. This content is the textual material from Chapter 400 of "Rural Beauty." For a woman of Yang Yunqian's age, she is particularly adept at the strategy of advancing with purpose and retreating when necessary—she knows that urgency often leads to frustration, and the more she pushes, the less effective it becomes. Moreover, she has no classes in the afternoon, giving her ample time to patiently await Lu Yun's satisfactory response. Involuntarily, she gently brushed her fingers along the arm, as white and smooth as a lotus stem, then moved on to the two proud, slightly aloof ones—though she might not be as beautiful as Yang Yanping, her figure was no less impressive, especially in the two areas most appealing to women. Zhang Yunqian confidently believed she was only slightly better than Yang Yanping, and thus more attractive. Moreover, her own appearance was quite pleasing; otherwise, the mediocre head of the education commission wouldn’t have proposed such demanding conditions just when she was seeking promotion. There was plenty of time to wait! With her worries settled, Zhang Yunqian sipped her water leisurely, smiling warmly at Lu Yun. As for Lu Yun, he wasn’t thinking about Zhang Yunqian’s beauty or figure. Every female teacher at the school was a beauty. What occupied his mind was the conversation he’d heard between her and the education commission head that evening. If, indeed, she had been pressured by the commission to support her family, Lu Yun didn’t find her endearing at all—he actually felt a certain pity for her. Yet from her current demeanor, it seemed as though she had long been accustomed to such things—whether driven by necessity for survival or not, she had certainly been experienced in handling them before her time in the village. Lü Yun smiled at Zhang Yunqian and said, "Teacher Zhang, it was purely an accident—an unexpected occurrence." "An accident?" Zhang Yunqian found herself puzzled. Her own condition had already become so serious—how could there be an accident if nothing had happened to her? Lü Yun blushed slightly and added, "Yes, there was a small mishap—almost a case of internal disruption on my part." As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yunqian could no longer contain her laughter, pointing at Lü Yun with a gesture. "What are you thinking about? Did you go see that someone again? Did you not manage to get yourself into the situation?" The "someone" Zhang Yunqian referred to was, of course, Yang Yanping. However, having learned from her earlier experience, Zhang Yunqian had chosen not to address the matter directly at that moment. Chang Yunqian was beaming with joy, while Lu Yun quietly wiped a bead of sweat from his brow. Fortunately, Yunlan hadn't noticed that he had bolted out from her office—otherwise, she would surely suspect her. Yanping, I'm truly sorry—I'll have to ask you to bear with me and take the brunt of this now-ecstatic, wildly energetic woman. …… Village Beauty at 400, Main Text at 400—now updated!
