The Country Beauty 798, Main Text 798 "I'm your brother, I'm your brother!" 798 Chapter "I'm your brother, I'm your brother!" Now let's get this straight. Lu Yun stared at Jixinlan, utterly astonished, not knowing what exactly had prompted her to say such things. Was it simply that they hadn't spent the weekend together, making her feel lonely? Or had she been deeply moved by the revelation of Huazǐ's uncle's actions and the quiet, sharp remarks from the one with the knife-tongue during their bathroom visit? Regardless of the reason, Lu Yun simply couldn't believe that Jixinlan would spontaneously say such things without any cause. "Miss Jixinlan, are you drunk?" Lu Yun hesitated, reaching out to take the beer bottle from Fei Xinlan's hands. Fei Xinlan chuckled, "Nonsense! I've only had two sips so far. Even if my drinking tolerance is poor, I wouldn't say anything foolish." Lu Yun looked a bit puzzled, still at a loss, asking, "Then... then what's happened? How did you—?" Fei Xinlan laughed again and again, covering her mouth. "Just ask yourself. I really care about you, you know. Otherwise, how would a woman like me say something so awkward and ungraceful?" Huh—For me? Lu Yun was momentarily stunned, even more confused. Fei Xinlan held up the beer bottle in her hand. "Look at yourself down there." Lu Yun suddenly understood, quickly lowering his gaze. With that glance, he immediately grasped why Fei Xinlan had said such things to him. Why? Since Lu Yun's little one had somehow lifted his head again without him noticing, Lu Yun remembered that when he had entered the room, he had already calmed the little one down. How could it be that now, quietly and without a sound, the little one had raised his head once more? "Hey, brother, what's going on? Are you deliberately making me look bad? Hurry up and lower your head!" Lu Yun blushed, quickly turning around to avoid looking at Tie Xinlan, yet feeling the presence of his little brother's actions and giving him a scolding. "Brother, who asked you to go listen to such an engaging performance? Now that there's such a beautiful lady right beside me, I've been longing to see her little sister all along. If you don't take the initiative, do you expect me to keep holding back?" "My younger brother isn't holding back when he's criticizing Lu Yun." "Man, look at the time and place—how can you keep making such a mess? Just stay calm, or I'll be cutting you!," Lu Yun quietly threatened. "Hmph, always resorting to scissors! Ever since that incident with the Ms. Zhang in school, you've been fixated on it—don't you realize I'm your closest brother? I'm the one who's always supporting your every need, your comfort, your happiness. You treat me this way, and don't you fear I'll go on strike and leave you with a soft, limp service?" Clearly, the young man has grown into his own stride and doesn't care at all about Lu Yun's threats—instead, he capitalizes on the moment to deliver a direct challenge. Lu Yun felt deeply frustrated, seeing the beer bottle on the table, nearly reaching for it to hurl it at his young companion. How dare this brash fellow challenge him, the host himself! As for the intuitive connection he shares with the young man, Lu Yun found it quite puzzling. Since that day he fainted near the eastern village, he's been able to sense the young man's reactions, even engaging in direct mental conversations with him. At first, Lu Yun was genuinely alarmed, but as his own health remained unimpaired, he gradually learned to adapt—and discovered a whole new kind of pleasure. He didn't realize that all this was orchestrated by that awkward, down-to-earth dragon. To his surprise, he now felt a genuine connection with his younger brother, as if they had become true brothers. If he were to tell this absurd tale to anyone else, he'd be certain to be deemed mentally unwell—completely mad. Land Yun would have gladly believed himself mad, and only then would this sensation have emerged. Yet now, his mind was perfectly clear, and he found himself conversing with his brother on a regular basis. His body shook and trembled—was it possible that he was just imagining it? Seeing Lu Yun seemed to be doing some kind of exercise, his body trembling as if it were during a man's moment of intense excitement, Iron Xinlan observed. Lu Yun quickly turned around and said to her, "Xinlan, I'm fine. I was just a little embarrassed when you mentioned it. I was just fixing my little brother—well, actually, I managed to get him to lie down now." Iron Xinlan laughed softly, "You're really amusing. There's no one else in the room. I'm just standing here, and how could I possibly tease you?" Lu Yun scratched his head, awkwardly smiling, "I'm not afraid of being teased. I'm just afraid that at some point, I might actually end up pressing you down onto the chair and doing something—then, when Huazi-uncle and the others see it, it'll be awkward." Iron Xinlan nodded, placing her beer on the table, and resting her chin on her hands, gazing at Lu Yun, "Lu Yun, how is it that you, such a young, simple boy, have managed to get me so completely under your spell?" "I have ample resources," Lu Yun straightened his chest, saying with a touch of pride. "Really do I come across as just some woman who cares only about immediate pleasure?" "Tie-xin Lan took a sharp breath, her gaze toward Lu Yun now filled with an indescribable complexity. Lu Yun chuckled, shaking his head: 'Then I really don't know. Tie-xin Lan, you're such a celestial being—how could I possibly understand why you've ended up doing those things with me? And yet, you've always been so kind, so attentive to me. A celestial lady, I'd like to share some intimacy with you!' With a playful smile, Lu Yun spread his arms wide, adopting the posture of a great crane taking flight, and charged toward Tie-xin Lan. 'Xiu-Ping, hurry inside! Lu Yun has already prepared the food—we should eat together!' At that moment, a voice from outside suddenly broke in—Hu Zi's. Lu Yun, mid-flight in his crane gesture, suddenly heard Hu Zi's words and reluctantly folded his arms, thinking: Hu Zi uncle, you've certainly been smooth, but you've left me quite the mess. Even if you keep harping on your sharp tongue, I can still make myself quite comfortable with Tie-xin Lan! ... Rural Beauty 798, Main Text 798 I'm your brother, update complete!"
