Chapter 492: The Power of the Menstrual Cycle "Hmph—this is the textual content of Chapter 492 of 'Rural Beauty with Radiant Grace'!" Liang Hongyu lifted her head slightly, as if she had just noticed something. Though her lovely face showed no clear anger, there was a clear air of disdain—disdain for Lu Yun. Hmm… Had she just been holding Zhao Feiyan’s hand when Xiao Zuyu had quietly been standing nearby all along? "Um… Xiao Zuyu…" Liang Hongyu didn’t give Lu Yun a single chance to speak, merely huffed, "You claim to have never done anything to feel guilty—now your words are stammering! Where did your usual sharpness in treating me go?" At this point, Lu Yun finally realized that, in his own embarrassment, he had clutched Zhao Feiyan's hand so tightly that she had noticed every detail. Her smile vanished instantly, and she hung her head, looking as though she had completely made a mistake, murmuring, "Shall we avoid this scene altogether? If your sisters see us like this, they'll think you've found a soft-spoken boyfriend." "Come on, how would the girls in our dorm react once they find out about our relationship? Especially after that day you fought a fight in the girls' dormitory?" Liang Hongyu still maintained her complete disdain, scoffing at Lu Yun's words. If only she weren't experiencing her menstrual period and couldn't easily reach out to tug at his ears, she would have already lifted her voice to pull his ears. For someone who was so stubborn, she couldn't easily forgive him. Lu Yun had no idea about Liang Hongyu's current thoughts; he only assumed that a girl going through her period was unusually irritable, not realizing that she had also developed a more aggressive streak. Liang Hongyu stared at Lu Yun, thinking: Maybe one day I'll switch to a small bread with wings that prevents leakage—then I won't have to worry about anything spilling and soaking my clothes anymore, and I'll be able to fully grab this sharp-tongued, stubborn fellow's ears, pull them down, pull them down, pull them down, pull them down, pull them down. With determination in her heart, she asked politely, "So, what brings you here?" Lu Yun rubbed his nose, glanced at the girls' dormitory, where a couple of girls were leaning out of their windows, looking this way. He immediately pulled at Liang Hongyu's arm, leading her to a more distant spot. "Slow down! Didn't you see I'm holding a basin of water?" Liang Hongyu now seemed to have firmly caught Lu Yun's tail, returning all the little demands he used to make on her—her tone was quite unkind. Lu Yun wasn't stupid—he naturally picked up on the displeasure in her tone. After they had walked a little way and found a large tree to shield their figures from view, he finally exhaled in relief and smiled, asking, "What do your roommates think of me?" Liang Hongyu pursed her lips, though her tone subtly carried a touch of pride: "They say you're even better than Zhao Kai—just a 'small, ordinary' guy." Lu Yun immediately felt three dark lines form across his forehead. While he could hold his own in one-on-one duels, perhaps matching Zhao Kai and Zhao Teng in a few exchanges, he hadn't actually seen Zhao Kai in action. The time they went to town for dinner, Lu Yun hadn't clearly observed how Zhao Kai managed to handle that young man in his twenties. Still, since Zhao Kai had earned the title of the school's top "ordinary" guy, he must have some real skills. Lu Yun thought to himself: now that he was training in the Dream-Entering Fist, how would he fare against Zhao Kai? "Have I been zoning out again, wondering whether my roommates are still okay?" When Lu Yun began to stare blankly once more, just as he had before, Liang Hongyu pouted, suddenly thrusting the plastic basin—half-full of water—into his hands and leaning against him, sniffing vigorously at his body. Lu Yun wobbled slightly but managed to steady the basin. Seeing Liang Hongyu's odd behavior, he asked, "What are you doing?" "Same as you," Liang Hongyu replied while continuing to sniff. Lu Yun asked curiously, "Same as me?" "Yes, same as you—seeing if I can detect anything distinctive about you," Liang Hongyu said, glancing up at Lu Yun with a sly look. Lu Yun was momentarily stunned. Suddenly remembering Zhao Feiyan's remark that the water poured on him was her foot-washing water, he stepped back and chuckled, "Besides the smell of sweat, what else could I possibly have?" Liang Hongyu smiled with a strange air, nodding gently. "Indeed, it's quite pungent—just like your stinky feet. This content is from Chapter 492 of 'Rural Beauty.' As soon as Liang Hongyu spoke, Lu Yun's head spun. Oh no—this girl must have seen everything. Oh, the monthly flow! When could it have come, and why now, just to visit Xiao Yu? This is truly making me sit and wait for a scolding! To secure a more lenient treatment, Lu Yun decided to confess. "Tell me," Liang Hongyu pressed, without waiting for Lu Yun to speak, her tone firm and demanding, "where did all these smelly water come from? Don't tell me you went to bathe early this morning." Lu Yun drew a deep breath, stepped back two paces, and fixed her gaze steadily on Liang Hongyu. "Xiao Yu, I'm going to tell you the truth. Please don't be angry." Liang Hongyu leaned against the tree trunk, gently nodded, as if patiently waiting for Lu Yun to speak on his own. "Actually, it's not that bad. When I came to your dorm room, Zhao Feiyan accidentally splashed a whole bucket of foot-washing water on me, soaking me completely and making my face all wet. Now I'm completely drenched." Liang Hongyu interrupted, "How about the smell of the foot-washing water?" Lu Yun sighed, "Not at all—quite unpleasant. I just said some comforting things to ease Zhao Feiyan's guilt, because girls are usually thoughtful and a bit sensitive. Since we're in the same class, if I'd been harsh with her, she'd definitely cry out of the bed this early in the morning. Plus, she took care of you during the last fight, so I really can't be harsh with her, can I?" Liang Hongyu, being well-mannered, nodded in agreement, yet suddenly added, "Can you just hold a girl's hand without even giving her a chance to pull it away?" Upon seeing the smile flashing across Liang Hongyu’s face—clearly the telltale, mischievous one she reserved for when she was teasing him—Lu Yun felt his heart race and hurried to defend himself: “I wasn’t deliberately doing it. I just noticed how she blushed, and it reminded me of you. I didn’t even realize I’d caught her then. It wasn’t intentional at all.” Liang Hongyu gently chided: “Then what if I see a boy who’s just like you, and somehow ends up being whisked away by someone else? Would you be able to use the same excuse to brush me off?” Mmm, Lu Yun now truly understood the power of a woman’s menstrual cycle. Back then, even if you patiently taught these very things to Xiao Zhi, she wouldn’t have been able to articulate them. Now, not only had she effortlessly delivered them with the strength of her cycle, but the tone she used was simply suffocating! Come on, someone save me—otherwise, I won’t be able to enjoy a single peaceful weekend! ... Novel reading and downloads updated swiftly.
