"Fine, just got two good slaps," Lei rubbed his swollen cheeks, gave Lu Yun a smile, then suddenly turned and kicked the middle-aged man who was crouched on the ground right in the face. "For daring to slap me—what kind of man are you, huh? You're not even worth the price of a meal!" "Big Peng was taken aback, slowly lowering his arm as he spat at the middle-aged man, saying, 'Damn it, you're lucky. If it weren't for Yun's intercession, I'd have crushed you flat with a brick!' The man had taken half his head with bricks and his left eye socket was splattered with a heavy punch from Lu Yun, blood, tears, and nosebleed flowing freely—where could he possibly find the strength to speak? He just sat there, clutching his head, groaning and pretending to be helpless. "The brick-kiln girl gasped, as if coming back to life, and burst into tears, shouting, 'It's not my fault! I was forced into this!' 'Hey, you're still being dramatic, aren't you? You're not just forced—you're here to specifically annoy me!' Dapeng's eyes widened. Though his words were fierce, his gaze revealed that if there hadn't been anyone else in the brick kiln, he would have stormed right over to that newly developed, fresh young woman. The sound of classroom bells rang from afar. Lu Yun called out, 'Alright, let's go—quick!' Dapeng and Dapeng both spat on the middle-aged man who was crumpled on the ground, clutching his head, and followed Lu Yun as they hurried out of the brick kiln. After Lu Yun and his companions had left, the brick-kiln girl approached the middle-aged man, who was bleeding profusely, and cried, 'Liangzi, you're okay, aren't you? Look, you're all covered in blood—I'll take you to the clinic.' The man lifted his head, his expression cold and fierce, gazing out toward the kil It simply wouldn’t do to remain constantly on guard against injuries from Wang Hehui’s allies all year long. After all, Uncle San still needs to go out and work to earn a living, and the crops in the fields also require his attention. As for Land Yun himself, he has little to worry about—yet if either Uncle San or Aunt San were harmed, he would never feel at peace throughout his life. With this thought in mind, Land Yun grew increasingly restless, as though a strange beast were lurking deep within his chest, making him feel heavy and uneasy. How could he possibly concentrate on listening to the lecture, no matter how hard he tried? Finally, after enduring the class, Wang Shiyu smiled warmly at Land Yun. “Land Yun,” she said, “you’ve been so distracted throughout the whole lesson—has something happened to you in your pursuit of romance?” Lu Yun was just about to shout at this impertinent young lady, when suddenly he noticed Liang Hongyu slowly approaching him. He hurriedly whispered to Wang Shiyu, "Miss Shiyu, please don't speak out of turn—my grapevine trellis has come!" Wang Shiyu glanced at Liang Hongyu as she walked toward them and smiled knowingly, "Great! I won't be the one standing around like a lamp anymore. But won't you worry that I'll get jealous?" Lu Yun was taken aback, watching Liang Hongyu draw near. In a soft, whispering tone, he said, "Wait a moment—I'll go get some soy sauce for you to tone down the acidity." He then cleared his throat, signaling Wang Shiyu that it was time for her to leave. Wang Shiyu smiled understandingly, greeted Liang Hongyu as she approached, and then rose to leave her seat and exit the classroom. As she passed by Zhao Feiyan, however, she glanced back at Lu Yun, giving him a subtle glance as if to say, "Don't go too far—there's still a beautiful woman you like right here."
