Ling Shu, proactively. 665. Chapter Ling Shu, proactively. Lu Yun arrived at the courtyard entrance where Ling Shu lived, conducting a thorough inspection and confirming that no villagers were nearby. Then, he dashed straight into the courtyard. This content constitutes the textual material of Chapter 655 of "Rural Beauty." Ling Shu did not fully secure the front door from the inside. When Lu Yun reached the doorway, he gently pushed it open and stepped into the courtyard. He went straight to the room where Ling Shu was lying on the bed, eyes blankly fixed on the ceiling. Upon hearing the door creak open, Ling Shu sat up and was about to speak when he saw Lu Yun rushing in, drenched in sweat. Ling Shu quickly got off the bed. "Little Yun, how did you come?" Ling Shu asked, then took a towel and approached Lu Yun, carefully wiping the sweat from his face. Lu Yun felt a bit embarrassed and slightly stepped back, but Lin Xu was firm, so Lu Yun had no choice but to lower his head a little. Yet, with that slight dip, things went wrong—Lu Yun was still half a head taller than Lin Xu. As his gaze dropped, he immediately caught sight of the pale expanse revealed on Lin Xu’s chest, where the two bodies pressed closely together, forming a deep indentation. His mouth went dry, and the sweat beads that Lin Xu had just wiped away suddenly reappeared. His entire body felt as though it were on fire, growing hot and flushed, and his face flushed with warmth. "Damn it," Lu Yun muttered under his breath. He hadn’t come here for this at all. He had to stay composed, remain steady, hold on—keep his mind clear, not let any other thoughts arise. He was here to save lives, not to make a scene. "Lu Yun, what’s wrong? Your forehead is so hot," Lin Xu gently touched Lu Yun’s forehead, noticing his face had unexpectedly turned red, and asked softly. Lu Yun quickly shifted her gaze, stepped back a pace, and said, "Lin Xu, I'll do it myself." As she reached for the towel in Lin Xu's hands, her eyes involuntarily drifted toward Lin Xu's tall, proud figure. Upon making eye contact, Lin Xu instantly understood why Lu Yun had suddenly turned crimson—she had caught a glimpse of her own bust—and her cheeks flushed instantly, her heart racing with excitement, completely missing Lu Yun's words. When Lin Xu had first heard the soft sounds of something pleasant coming from Li Liānhua's home, she had climbed up the ladder and waved at Lu Yun, originally intending to see if Lu Yun was actually paying attention to Li Liānhua. But since Lu Yun wasn't even there, she had suddenly found herself with a new impulse—to have a little something with Lu Yun. It was not that Lin Shu was naturally carefree or indulgent. Rather, when he saw Lu Yun and Li Lianghua busy with their activities inside the room, memories of his own repeated mistreatment at the hands of the two "hairless" men surged upon him—deeply touching him. Reflecting further on his own miserable past, he recalled how the men of the village had often belittled and humiliated him, never keeping their word. After he had yielded his body to them, they would promptly turn cold and deny their obligations. With this in mind, he resolved to simply break down and give up, and thus waited outside the main gate for Lu Yun. At that moment, Lu Yun's large eyes were fixed intently on her full, lush form. Lin Shu suddenly felt a surge of warmth in her heart, thinking: She had long since ceased to be a virtuous, respectable woman. If she could afford to be taken advantage of by the village men who never kept their promises, why not allow Lu Yun to enjoy her body just before she fled? With this resolve, Lin Shu's cheeks flushed slightly, and as she watched Lu Yun's hand reaching out to take the towel, she softly asked, "Xiao Yun, do I look beautiful?" Lu Yun nodded, with genuine feeling, saying, "Yes, very beautiful. I'm amazed that Old Man Er-tu, who has you, doesn't appreciate you properly—he often hits you. He's truly not a good man." Hearing this, Lin Shu's eyes softened with a touch of satisfaction, and then added, "Then, would you like to experience my body?" Without thinking, Lu Yun nodded, saying, "Yes." "As soon as I spoke, I realized how light-hearted and flippant I had been, and immediately shook my head, saying, 'Lin Shu, I...'" Lin Shu smiled and said, "You, Yun, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. In fact, when I first invited you in, I had the intention of doing something special with you. Do you know why Er-Tu often hits me?" "Why?" Land Yun asked, somewhat embarrassed. Lin Shu sighed lightly and said, "Yun, Er-Tu has very strong needs in that area, but each time he finishes, it's usually just a few thrusts. Though the sessions are short, he insists on doing it several times every night. As soon as I slightly resist, he gives me a good scolding. Though I'm not from a noble family, I have to fully accommodate him every day—whether during the day or at night—whenever he wants. Even when relatives visit me, I can't fail to meet his demands." Every day I watch that repulsive face of his, how could I possibly have the heart to do anything with him? Every time he bothers me, I feel as though I've been plunged into the underworld, suffering endless pain and torment. As she spoke, two clear tears rolled down her cheeks. Seeing Lin Shu wipe away her tears, Lu Yun quickly stepped forward, took the towel from her hands, and gently wiped the tear tracks from her cheeks, saying, "Lin Shu, I've already raised the money—one thousand yuan, which should be enough for your journey home. Just be careful on the way." Upon hearing this, Lin Shu was startled and exclaimed, "It's already arranged so quickly? Yun, didn't you take my money from your third aunt? If so, please return it immediately—I won't accept it at all." Lu Yun smiled and replied, "Don't worry. I've already informed my third aunt about your situation. She fully supports what I'm doing and immediately handed over the money without hesitation. Lin Shu, please pack your things and hurry on your way." "Saying this, Lu Yun pulled out the one thousand yuan from her pocket and handed it to Lin Xu. Lin Xu felt a warm surge in her heart, her eyes glistening with tears that rolled down like scattered pearls. Suddenly, she extended her arms and embraced Lu Yun tightly, weeping softly, "Xiao Yun, you only spoke to me a few words—why are you being so kind to me?" Lu Yun's reaction had been noticed by Lin Shu long before. When Lu Yun stepped back, Lin Shu moved forward to gently comfort the one whose emotions were on the verge of exploding. "Don't do this, Lin Shu," Lu Yun said, drenched in sweat, worried that if, by helping her, she ended up claiming his body, it would completely contradict his original intentions. …… :/ Village Beauty 655, Main Text 655 Lin Shu's update completed!
