Country Beauty Chapter 724, Main Text Chapter 724: Kiss me once, Chapter 724: Kiss me once. As the water, still carrying some floating particles, splashed around the room with the movements of her body, Hao Donglian finally exhaled deeply, having been so absorbed in thought that she hadn’t noticed her husband had woken up. If it weren’t for yesterday’s heavy drinking, she would have seen the strange floating objects in the water basin. These floating objects were precisely the essence that Lu Yun had infused into her body. For some reason, after Lu Yun finished, Hao Donglian had not allowed a single drop of that warm, flowing essence to escape. At the very moment when Lu Yun’s celestial staff withdrew from her body, Hao Donglian promptly closed the water curtain cave tightly, and the two soft doors also mysteriously sealed themselves. If Lu Yun had witnessed this scene, he would surely have been amazed. With a lingering gaze at the scattered water stains, Hao Donglian's spirit, nearly flown away by her husband's sudden appearance, gradually calmed down and turned toward the kitchen, calling out, "Xiao Yun, is the meal ready?" Lu Yun, though unaware that her uncle Zhao Lao San had already woken up, still responded in the kitchen, "Almost ready—just the porridge turned a bit burnt." When breakfast was nearly finished, Ling Xiaoman and the others arrived at Lu Yun's home. Si Ma Xinrou, who needed to return to the county for university, now had little time left; she insisted on leaving before Lu Yun finished her meal. Lu Yun checked the time and realized that even if Si Ma Xinrou left immediately, she would still be running short on time. So, Lu Yun decided to keep Ling Xiaoman and the others in the house and took Si Ma Xinrou herself to the village entrance. "Lu Yun, go back and have dinner," Si Ma Xinrou said, her eyes conveying a touch of reluctance. This content is from Chapter 724 of "The Rural Beauty." Lu Yun smiled and said, "Miss Sima, take care on the way. Don't let me have to rescue you again." Sima Xinrou blushed and retorted, "Who do I need you to rescue? Just look after yourself and your uncle and aunt, and the bad people will surely come back with more troubles. Be careful—especially that second-son, I just don't think he's a good person. Watch out for him." Lu Yun nodded and chuckled, "Miss Sima, are you so concerned about me that you've already decided to marry me?" Sima Xinrou was startled at first, then her lovely face flushed with embarrassment. "Just wait," she said. "Don't wait until I'm seventy or eighty before you think of marrying me. If that happens, I'll hardly be able to make my gun do what it does now!" Lu Yun said with a mischievous smile. Su Mao saw Lu Yunyue talking more and more absurdly, more and more openly, and blushed, saying, "Whatever you want to do, just go ahead—when it comes to when I marry you, that's entirely my matter. Who knows, I might kick you out halfway and start a new romance." That's exactly what she'd hoped for. She didn't want a woman in her life who married merely out of rigid family traditions, especially a beautiful one. If there were such a gap between them, even after marriage, their happiness would be uncertain. That's what Lu Yun thought. Yet, Lu Yun's real concern was that, should such a gap remain after marriage, he could be certain that when it came time to engage in intimate matters with Su Mao, he'd feel nothing at all. Even though Su Mao was a stunningly beautiful woman, in Lu Yun's eyes, it would be far more satisfying to spend time with a few of the village women instead. "I'm off now. See you next week." "Simao Xinrou felt a growing sense of urgency—should they continue talking, both of them would be late for class. "Heart-soothing sister, we don't have enough time. Even if you leave now, you'll definitely be late by the time you reach school—there's over thirty miles. It's better to stay together and chat a bit longer right now," said Simao Xinrou, her brows slightly furrowed. "Then I'll see you next week," she said. "Well, then, shouldn't we say goodbye properly before we part ways?" Lu Yun smiled mischievously at Simao Xinrou's rosy cheeks. Simao Xinrou was momentarily stunned and asked, "Say goodbye to what?" Lu Yun quickly glanced around, then stepped close to her and smiled, "What else could we do? Just kiss me." Simao Xinrou immediately objected, "No, that would be too embarrassing if anyone saw us." This content is from Chapter 724 of the novel "Rural Beauty." "Landon smiled with a bit of flair, saying, 'Then fine—since you won't, I'll have someone else do it. After all, I'm surrounded by beautiful women, and girls who want to kiss me could line up all the way from our house to your school.' Simaxin protested, 'Then go and have someone else kiss you! I'm not doing it.' And with that, she pushed her bike and walked off, ignoring Landon completely. 'Be careful on your way, Sister Xinrou,' Landon called out as he watched her retreating figure, then casually turned and walked back to the village. 'You obnoxious Landon—you're still following me all the way!' Hearing no footsteps behind her, Simaxin turned to check, only to see Landon walking leisurely toward the village, pushing his bike and shouting at him in a huff. Landon stopped mid-step, smiling to himself: 'It's clear he still wants to be kissed—just can't face it yet.' Turned around and said to Si Ma Xinrou, who was several tens of meters away, "Xinrou姐, Ling Teacher and the others are still waiting for me at home. I won't see you off anymore, so go slowly." Upon hearing this, Si Ma Xinrou's frustration intensified. It was already early in the morning, and Lu Yun had once again created obstacles for her. Though she was a woman and only a few years older than Lu Yun, being so constantly treated like a child—being offered fruit, being gently touched—how could she bear it? As Lu Yun walked farther and farther away, Si Ma Xinrou grew increasingly agitated and called out from a distance, "Stupid Lu Yun! Are you really not going to see me off? Don't you fear that I might meet someone unkind on the way?" Lu Yun pretended to shake his head in helpless resignation and turned back, calling, "Xinrou姐, it's not that I don't want to see you off. It's just that you can't do what I've told you..." Seeing Lu Yun so unconcerned and openly reiterating what he had said just moments before, Si Ma Xinrou became completely panicked. She stomped her feet and "Isn't she getting tired now, Lu Yun smiled slyly, and hurried over to Si Ma Xinrou with swift strides. "Heart-soft sister, what else do you need? Or perhaps you'd like to kiss me?" Si Ma Xinrou stared at Lu Yun with a slightly scolding gaze. "Even if you want to kiss me, we can't do it right here. How about you walk with me a little while longer, and then when we reach the outskirts of the village, I'll give you a kiss?" With only a week separating them—neither long nor short—it was already possible for so many unexpected things to unfold. As the moment of parting approached, Si Ma Xinrou suddenly felt a pang of tenderness. With her departure, she would no longer be by Lu Yun's side; instead, he would be surrounded by the girls at school. Without waiting for Lu Yun's reply, she pushed her bicycle forward, as if she had already decided that he would follow. ... Country Beauty 724, Main Text 724: "Kiss Me Once" updated!
