Si Ma Rou exhaled in relief. She had run around all day yesterday, hoping to finally wash off the sweat and freshen up for the evening, only to find out that Xiao Ying's mother wouldn't let them take a bath. She'd been told that Xiao Ying's father wasn't the village headman, so who else would dare to peek in on the girls taking a shower? Sun Shu wanted to understand why, though she was terribly uncomfortable, when both Ling Xiaoman and Dan Dan seemed unconcerned, she had only managed to sleep with a soaked body of sweat. All along, Lu Yun had been hovering near her, sniffing continuously, and Sun Shu had thought that perhaps she must have emitted some unpleasant odor, which was why Lu Yun kept drawing his nose back and forth. "We're already running late," Lu Yun said, his gaze fixed on her with a distinct intensity. "If we don't move now, we might miss our time. Maybe Xiao Ying and the others will even come out to find me and drive straight back to campus. By then, you'll have no chance to kiss me at all." Sun Shu glanced around, noticing a figure approaching from the distance, and quickly added, "Lu Yun, someone's coming from behind. How about we stop the car and go to the cornfield? I'll kiss you right now, and then I'll be off immediately." "Upon hearing this, Lu Yun turned around and saw—well, someone had indeed come this way, but not Xiao Ying or Ling Xiaoman or any of the others. With a sigh, he nodded reluctantly, saying, 'Alright, that's the best we can do.' Originally, Lu Yun had intended to, while no one was around, take full advantage of Si Ma Rou during the moment she was being attended to—though not necessarily to immediately 'dispose' of her—before letting her go. But now, with the chance of encountering pedestrians or early-morning villagers on the way, he had adjusted his plans and gladly agreed. He estimated that the person approaching from afar would still take some time to reach here. Without needing Lu Yun to ask, Si Ma Rou simply walked into the cornfield. Her eyes lingered on Sima Rou's elevated chest. Without realizing it, Sima Rou instinctively raised her arms to shield her chest, murmuring, "Just kiss me then—where have you been looking all this time?" Lu Yun drew his gaze back, chuckling, "Miss Sima, since you've already said you'd kiss me, why are you still standing there? Just come over and kiss me whenever you feel like it." Upon seeing Lu Yun's gaze, Sima Rou suddenly felt a strong sense that he wasn't simply interested in a simple kiss. There must be some hidden plan or intention behind it—definitely something more than just a passing moment. Her eyes flickered nervously toward the cornfield. She silently wondered: Could it be... could it be that he wanted to do something more intimate right there in the cornfield? Si Mu Rou is also a very reserved girl. As soon as her thoughts reached this point, she could no longer maintain inner composure. Her heart, already fluttering like a deer in a forest, now surged with the intensity of a thousand horses galloping, pounding steadily and urgently—so tense that her breathing nearly stopped. If this were truly as she had imagined, what should she do? Should she give him a sharp slap right then? Si Mu Rou watched Lu Yun with cautious vigilance, hesitating whether or not to approach and gently kiss him, this seemingly untrustworthy, mischievous young man. "What's wrong? Do you expect someone else to witness it before you finally kiss me?" "If I had known this would happen, I should have brought Xiao Ying and Dan Dan along with us all the way..." said Si Ma Rou, blushing. "You're being ridiculous. How could I have such thoughts? I merely felt a bit nervous after seeing your gaze." Si Ma Rou spoke honestly, and indeed, the way Lu Yun looked at her made her feel like a helpless lamb about to be slaughtered. Since Si Ma Rou wasn't showing any initiative, Lu Yun had to take matters into his own hands. "Feeling nervous means you're already plotting something wicked. How could a pure and kind girl like me make you feel this way? Therefore, Sister Xinrou, you shall have to pay a heavy price for your wicked thoughts—haha..." As he spoke, Lu Yun took a steady step forward, extended his arms, and instantly embraced Si Ma Rou. The two were about the same height. Si Ma Rou felt her heart race violently, and the strong masculine scent emanating from Lu Yun stimulated every nerve in her body. Her body warmed up, and she longed to pull away from his embrace, yet his arms were firm and steady, holding her tightly, leaving her no room to escape. Worse still, Lu Yun was embracing her, "How could Sima Rou possibly say it? After stammering for a while, she blushed and said, 'You don't know yourself, right? Just move that thing away—I'm afraid...' ... Rural Beauty 725, Main Text 725. Update complete!"
