The Country Beauty, 780; Main Text, 780; Chapter 780: Thousand Paper Cranes. With Iron Xin Lan's support, Lu Yun felt as though a stone had been set firmly in her heart—her firm hands, when she gave full force, could surely knock someone off their feet, no matter how tough their bones. The sooner they acted, the more at ease Lu Yun felt. "Lu Yun laughed, saying, "You're saying that, aren't you? Isn't it me who's the only one who likes you?" Liu Tingting blushed, hesitated, and said, "No, it's just you." As she spoke, her raised hands began to sink down. "Hm, Tingting, what are you holding in your hands?" Lu Yun noticed the paper crane in her fingers and asked curiously, "A paper crane, right? A thousand-paper crane?" Liu Tingting looked at Lu Yun with deep affection and nodded. "Hey, why only one? Are you planning to fold a thousand and give them all to me?" Lu Yun tried his best to stay relaxed, not wanting Li Tingting to notice his inner anxiety. "There are so many now," Li Tingting blushed, shifting slightly back and opening the drawer of her desk, then turning to Lu Yun. "See, just a little more and we'll reach one thousand." Lu Yun leaned forward, squinting to take a closer look. The small desk was filled with neatly folded paper cranes. He was astonished. "Tingting, when did you start folding so many cranes?" "There are still many more in my dormitory—this is just a fraction of them," Li Tingting stammered. "I began folding them the moment my aunt was going to sell my first time to that man..." As soon as Wang Hehui was mentioned, both of them fell silent. Lu Yun smiled gently. "Tingting, I heard that one thousand paper cranes symbolize one thousand wishes—have your wishes come true?" Liutingting blinked with a misty gaze, murmuring dreamily, "A thousand paper cranes transforming into my most perfect, flawless wish—finding someone who loves me and cares for me, always by my side, never leaving my side." "Always by my side, never leaving my side"—this is the text content from Chapter 780 of the novel 'Rural Beauty.' Like Liang Hongyu, both are devoted, passionate women. With a gentle mist forming in his eyes, Lu Yun suddenly smiled with ease, "Tingting, has your wish come true?" "Facing Lu Yun's deliberate and probing question, Liu Tingting blushed and said, 'Far away yet close at hand.' As she finished speaking, Lu Yun found himself hesitating, unable to bring himself to reveal the news he had been about to share. After a moment of pause, he finally said, 'Tingting, I will stay by your side, never leaving you. However, there's something I need to tell you—and you must return home immediately.' Seeing Lu Yun's serious tone, Liu Tingting set aside her youthful demeanor and asked in surprise, 'What's happened?'" "About Wang Hehú..." Land Yun then briefly summarized what had happened—the scar-faced man being eliminated, and Wang Hehú possibly finding out about their family through her uncle. Upon hearing this, Liu Tingting immediately grew pale and exclaimed, "Then—then my parents and my aunt and uncles must be in serious danger. I'm going back right now to tell them." Land Yun stopped Tingting from panicking and said, "Tingting, Wang Hehú probably won't do anything serious to your parents. But you—well, I'm sure you understand what I mean." Though Tingting naturally grasped the implication, she couldn't help but worry: if Wang Hehú managed to locate her parents and used them as leverage to pressure her, then what would come next? She couldn't imagine what might happen and began to cry without realizing it. "Tingting, don't cry yet. I'm certain Wang Hehú hasn't taken any action yet—otherwise, he would have already sent people to wait for us at the school. I'm telling you this precisely so that your parents can make preparations. It would be best if they temporarily moved to stay with other relatives. Meanwhile, you should skip attending classes at school until “Lü Yun thought for a moment and said, ‘Who are your parents closest to?’ Li Tingting replied immediately, ‘My aunt—she lives a bit far from here, in a more remote area. I’m afraid you might have trouble finding her.’ Lü Yun nodded and said, ‘The more remote the place, the safer it is. Remember, when you move, have your aunt arrange for your uncle to go somewhere else—don’t let her know where you’re going. Otherwise, if Wang Hei Hu really captures your uncle and presses him, your aunt might be forced to reveal your address out of concern for her husband.’ Li Tingting nodded, fully agreeing with Lü Yun’s suggestion. ‘Then it’s settled. We shouldn’t delay any longer—pack up and head back right away. I also need to go home and let my uncle and aunt know.’ After saying this, Lü Yun didn’t hesitate. He said goodbye to Li Tingting and rode off on his bicycle to school… … … Rural Beauty 780, Main Text 780—Updated with Thousand Paper Cranes!”
