He wanted exactly that effect.
After beating them for a while, Luo Yang added, "Today, you can leave only if the lady boss allows it. Otherwise, I'll beat you to death!"
The two young men pleaded with Xia Yun, "Lady boss, please spare us. We won't dare to cause trouble here again. We failed to recognize a great person today, and we're truly sorry."
Xia Yun said coldly, "Just go!"
Granted pardon, the two young men fled like rats, disappearing into the crowd outside the door.
Although she had been helped, Xia Yun thought to herself, "Maybe this guy is with them, just looking for a reward. I should test him."
Thinking this, she then said, "Sir, thank you for driving them off. The clothes you bought today are on the house."
Luo Yang quickly waved his hands and said, "Lady boss, that won't do. I did what I had to do. Buying clothes is another matter. We shouldn't mix them together. How much is it?"
Assessing the young man standing tall in front of her, Xia Yun's admiration for him grew.
She said softly, "I'm giving them to you. I really won't take your money."
Luo Yang insisted, "If you won't take the money, then I daren't buy. How much is it?"
By this point, she was convinced that he was not in cahoots with the two young men.
"Let's just say it's a way of making a friend and a token of my thanks. Please accept it," Xia Yun said with a smile.
"Lady boss, if you keep saying that, I'll have to leave. Goodbye," Luo Yang said as he turned to leave the store.
"How about this, I'll give you a fifty percent discount," Xia Yun called after him.
"That's more reasonable. Make it thirty percent. Fifty percent is too little. You're in business; I can't let you lose money," Luo Yang said.
Even with a fifty percent discount, the clothes would still be profitable.
Xia Yun agreed to Luo Yang's offer and sold him the clothes at a thirty percent discount without further discussion.
After paying, Luo Yang suddenly said, "Lady boss, I've noticed you look a lot like someone I know. You can't be sisters, can you?"
Xia Yun asked curiously, "Who?"
When Luo Yang mentioned Xie Yiyao, Xia Yun giggled girlishly.
"You know her?" Luo Yang exclaimed in surprise.
"I'll tell you the truth. I'm her aunt. Of course, I look somewhat like her. She inherited the Xia family women's excellent genes; she's very beautiful," Xia Yun boasted a little.
"No wonder! So you're her aunt! I knew there was a resemblance. I'm also from Hongyun Brigade," Luo Yang remarked, amazed.
"Giggle, your village chief is my brother-in-law. Next time you buy clothes, come here for the best discount. Also, if you have friends who need clothes, refer them here as well," Xia Yun said with a playful laugh.
"We're practically family, so I'll definitely bring friends here. I have to go now," Luo Yang waved goodbye and left the store.
He hopped onto his bicycle, then called Zhu Li.
On the phone, Zhu Li said, "I heard you acted spectacularly."
Luo Yang laughed and said, "Thank your two friends for me; they cooperated very well. The first step was successful; the second one will be soon. If that's successful, as soon as I ask her, she should be willing to help."
"Then I'll wait for your good news. How much is the rent? I'll send it to you."
"It's about 100,000 yuan, I have the money. I'll pay first."
"Okay, just let me know how much money I should pay when the time comes. If you need any help, just call me."
Luo Yang was riding his bike back to the village when he received a call from Sister Guihua, inviting him to join her for a meal at her place before heading to the Lin Family. Since An Yuying had invited him first, Luo Yang had to kindly decline Sister Guihua's invitation, stating he would meet up with her after lunch at An Yuying's.
Upon meeting An Yuying, Luo Yang quietly handed her the few sets of underwear he had bought.
When she saw they were underwear, her pretty face blushed to the roots of her ears. Though she pouted her red lips, she accepted them.
After having lunch at the An Family's, tasting the braised carp made by An Yuying, Luo Yang needed to go back home to put away a mobile phone. He carried two mobile phones with him, currently only using the iPhone 6 given by Qin Piao and not his own.
An Yuying also wanted to go with Luo Yang to the Xiaoshulin Market bank to deposit money, so she accompanied him back home.
Afterward, Luo Yang took An Yuying to the Xiaoshulin Market on his motorcycle.
The two chatted warmly, laughing and talking.
Her soft, sweet voice floated into his ears like a gentle stream, warm and ticklish, sending waves of tingling softness downward from his ears.
With two gentle mounds lightly pressing against his back, now apart, now together, hunger-like tremors excitedly shaking him again and again, Luo Yang's breathing gradually became heavier. He knew her red lips were within inches, and he wanted to turn his face!
Upon arriving at the Xiaoshulin Market bank, Luo Yang stayed in the vehicle for a while to let his body's physiological reaction cool down a bit before getting out.
After depositing the money at the bank, they stepped onto the main street. Not far away was a clothing store where An Yuying wanted to buy Luo Yang two sets of clothes. He declined several times, but she insisted on buying, and he had to accompany her.
She bought him two long-sleeved shirts, a pair of Western trousers, and a pair of straight black jeans. At the checkout, she ran into a female classmate from middle school.
"Yuying, do you remember me?" the long-haired girl smiled.
"Of course, I remember. You are Yan Lili." An Yuying introduced to Luo Yang, "She was my middle school classmate."
"Yuying, where are you working now?" Yan Lili asked.
"I haven't settled yet. I'm temporarily teaching at the village primary school. How about you?" An Yuying paid and put her wallet back into her bag.
"I just quit my job. I'm thinking of finding a job in the county city. We haven't gathered for a long time. Let's meet tonight, call up some other classmates, have some late-night snacks together, and have a good chat, what do you think?" Yan Lili suggested.
An Yuying agreed. After saying goodbye to Yan Lili, she returned to the Hongyun Brigade with Luo Yang. She invited Luo Yang to join her at the class reunion, and Luo Yang agreed.
Back at the Hongyun Brigade, Luo Yang went to look for Tang Guihua, who was washing her hair by the front courtyard well.
"Sister Guihua,"
"Niu Zai, come and help me pump the water."
"Sure. Sister Guihua, your hair looks really beautiful."
Luo Yang walked over to the hand-operated water pump by the well, took hold of the solid handle and started to pump, as clear well water gushed from the pump's spout. Yet, his gaze was fixed on her graceful figure.
Tang Guihua stood with her legs apart, knees slightly bent, leaning forward to position her head under the spout, letting the well water rinse off the fluffy white shampoo bubbles on her hair.
Wafts of fragrant scent hit him, piquing Luo Yang's interest. His gaze drifted to Tang Guihua's buttocks. As she bent over, her buttocks protruded, becoming rounder and accentuated with thick, fleshy curves resembling the upper part of a heart shape, sandwiching a deep groove. Even clothed, the tight groove was endlessly charming, magnet-like, capturing Luo Yang's gaze.
