Chapter 457: I Will Be Responsible to You The main content of this chapter is the textual content of the 457th episode of "Rural Beauty with Charm." Zhang Ning arrived at the school gate without bringing Lu Yun into the small grove; instead, she deliberately bypassed the students heading to class and walked to a hillock beside the ground, her eyes shining brightly as she stared at Lu Yun. "Do you remember what you said yesterday?" Lu Yun was momentarily stunned, recalling the scene when Zhang Ning had returned him to his dormitory the previous day. After thinking hard, he only remembered pressing her beneath him and feeling two soft shapes against his hands—nothing more. Seeing Lu Yun's look of confusion, Zhang Ning knew he had completely forgotten what she had said, and she angrily glared at him. "Don't you just take advantage of me and then promptly forget what you promised?" Lu Yun, feeling embarrassed, explained, "Actually, Miss Zhang, I was really drunk yesterday. I was so dazed that I—well—" Zhang Ning suddenly huffed, saying, "I knew men weren't good at all. Once they've taken advantage, they immediately find excuses to excuse themselves. This content is from Chapter 457 of the novel 'Rural Beauty.' "Miss Zhang, I really drank too much yesterday. If it weren't for you, I'd never have dared speak to you that way." Lu Yun wiped his tears, seeing Zhang Ning still furious. He walked over to her, lowered his head, and said, "Miss Zhang, please hit me—just let me have some air." "Don't tell me that was just something you said under the influence of wine, in order to gain an advantage over me?" Zhang Ning pressed on, her tone now tinged with a touch of anxiety. By now, even if Lu Yun couldn't recall having said it himself, he'd have to face it head-on—because he truly did feel that way, and Zhang Ning's expression didn't seem to suggest she was lying. Nodding seriously, Lu Yun said, "Miss Zhang, I genuinely like you. But in the past, I've always kept those feelings hidden. Yesterday, I drank so much wine precisely to leave a good impression on Zhang Guo, so as to get closer to you." Upon hearing Lu Yun's words, a sense of relief flashed in Zhang Ning's eyes—she thought, at last, she hadn't been completely outplayed by this man. Yet on her lips, she coldly remarked, "Why didn't you tell me you liked me? Why did you have to wait until you were drunk, and then take advantage of me? I suspect you've been planning this all along." Noticing the fading anger in Zhang Ning's tone, Lu Yun silently mused—could it be that she also liked him? Recalling the moment in Zhang Ning’s bedroom, when he gently peeled away the scabs from her skin, the shy look on her face stirred something within Lu Yun. A woman revealing her bare torso, allowing him to reach up and rest his hands on her breasts—though Zhang Ning had offered a plausible excuse at the time—such a gesture would never have been made unless she truly liked him. "Ning姐," Lu Yun softly called, stepping forward and extending his arms to slowly embrace Zhang Ning. "What's up?" Zhang Ning remained shy, letting him hold her, her earlier assertive tone now completely softened—this content is from Chapter 457 of "Rural Beauty." Lu Yun smiled, "When did you start liking me? I just never noticed." Zhang Ning blushed, "I don’t know when it began. It must have been right when you helped me remove the scars from my body." Suddenly, her tone changed, as if she had just remembered something, and said with crisp clarity, "Do you already have a girlfriend?" Lu Yun was taken aback and eventually nodded. "One of the two girls from this morning?" Zhang Ning's tone remained unchanged. Lu Yun replied decisively, "Both of them." "Both are your girlfriends?" Zhang Ning raised her eyes, locking them directly with Lu Yun's, asking. "Yes, Miss Zhang. That's precisely why I've been hesitant to tell you how I feel—because I already have a girlfriend. I'm sorry, Miss Zhang. I've been careless with my affections." Saying this, Lu Yun released his arms from around Zhang Ning's waist. Zhang Ning stood motionless, her face changing several times in quick succession. Suddenly, she grasped Lu Yun's arms firmly and said, "Hold me." "Land, Lu Yun was genuinely surprised. He had expected that, even if Zhang Ning didn't give him a good scolding, she would at least say something about him being a flirt or a dandy. Instead, she had now reached for his arm and asked him to hold her. 'Ning姐, you...' Lu Yun couldn't quite grasp Zhang Ning's intentions, stammering as he hesitated to reach out and embrace her. 'Hold me,' Zhang Ning urged. 'You have two girlfriends already—why not a third? I don't care. I've never been touched by a boy. You embarrassed me yesterday, so you're responsible for that.' This outcome completely exceeded Lu Yun's expectations. Yet before he could even begin to reconsider, Zhang Ning had already looped his arm around her waist, her voice soft and sweet. 'If you say one word against it, I'll tell your two girlfriends. You'll treat me like a stranger, and you'll end up with nothing—neither me nor anything else.' Lu Yun was sweating profusely—this was plain, open-ended threat indeed! Previously worried about how to explain yesterday's events to Zhang Ning, she now suddenly threatens to become her girlfriend! Has she been struck by love in the last few days? With a mischievous smile, Lu Yun pulled her tightly into his arms and said, "Alright, I'll take responsibility for you." Zhang Ning still had more to say, but suddenly found her mouth being sealed by a rush of his lips! ... Rural Beauty 457, Main Text 457 "I'll Take Responsibility for You" updated!
