Chapter 140 Pull Over

"Huh?"

"A small woods?"

"What small woods?" Zeng Xiaofan asked, slightly frowning.

Lin Yuru turned her head back once more, bit her lower lip, and gave a subtle, meaningful look.

"Any small woods will do, as long as it's secluded and no one will disturb us."

"You saved my younger sister and helped me out so much. Your aunt isn't the kind of person who doesn't know how to repay a favor."

"Once we get to the woods, I'll reward you properly..."

Zeng Xiaofan glanced sideways at Lin Yuru's expression, his heart skipping a beat. He almost drove the car straight into a ditch.

"No, no, no... Auntie, stop joking..."

"What's there to thank? We're all folks from the same village, helping each other is only right."

"What woods... Stop messing around..."

"I'm taking you straight home now. I still need to head to the county town later; the county magistrate's daughter asked me to pick her up for some graduation banquet..."

Hearing this, a trace of disappointment flickered across Lin Yuru's face. She looked ahead.

It was currently early afternoon, and the sun beat down fiercely.

The asphalt road was hot enough to fry an egg, so not a single person or vehicle was visible along the glaring country lane.

Even the grass on both sides of the road was wilted from the heat, and the air smelled of baked grass.

The entire village was enveloped in the scorching silence of midsummer, broken only by golden-brown skinks peeking out from the dry grass heaps by the roadside, occasionally making a rustling sound.

Seeing this, Lin Yuru had a flash of inspiration. She picked up a bottle of mineral water from the side, unscrewed the cap right in front of Zeng Xiaofan, and began to drink...

Zeng Xiaofan felt his scalp tingle all over again, and he couldn't help but speak up.

"Auntie Yuru... Please... when you drink water, just drink normally..."

"Stop doing things like this... It looks... it looks so strange..."

At this, Lin Yuru let out an "ah," turned her head with an expression of absolute "innocence," pouted her pretty lips, and spat a mouthful of mineral water directly onto Zeng Xiaofan.

"Ah~" Lin Yuru let out another coy gasp, her voice growing even more coquettish.

"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to..."

"What were you saying just now?"

Lin Yuru asked with a mischievous little smile, reaching out to wipe the water off Zeng Xiaofan.

The moment Zeng Xiaofan saw that expression, he knew she had done it on purpose. He could only smile helplessly. "Forget it... Just pretend I never said anything..."

"Hey!" Before Zeng Xiaofan even finished speaking, his body gave a violent shudder, and he turned to look at Lin Yuru with a look of utter shock.

Lin Yuru merely covered her mouth and giggled.

"What... I'm just helping you wipe off the water, why are you so excited?"

Zeng Xiaofan shook his head speechlessly, grabbed Lin Yuru's hand tightly, and gently pushed it away to stop her from acting up.

"You... Is this wiping off water?"

"Is that even a place you're supposed to wipe?"

"Oh my~"

Lin Yuru covered her mouth with a chuckle again, feigning sudden realization.

"My apologies... I didn't notice for a second..."

"Still... the young man is in pretty good shape, huh..."

"Pfft~" Zeng Xiaofan spat a mouthful of saliva right onto the steering wheel. Just as he was about to say something, Lin Yuru let out another "ah."

"What is it now?" Judging from her expression, Zeng Xiaofan knew this mature woman was up to no good again...

Sure enough, without the slightest bit of rush, Lin Yuru gave a slight pout, elegantly twirling the mineral water bottle in her hand, and pointed beneath Zeng Xiaofan's feet.

"The bottle cap fell off... It rolled under your feet..."

"If it fell, let it fall. I'm driving, just leave it," Zeng Xiaofan waved his hand dismissively.

"No way, that's a safety hazard!"

"Pull over right now! I'll pick it up!"

With that, Lin Yuru chugged the remaining bit of mineral water, tossed the bottle aside, and ducked down beneath Zeng Xiaofan's seat.

"Don't..." Zeng Xiaofan said helplessly, having no choice but to pull the car over under a small cluster of bamboo by the stream.

The wind rustled through the bamboo, creating a soft whispering sound. There was not a soul around. While the heat outside was baking, the interior of the car was pleasantly cool with the air conditioning on.

"Auntie Yuru... You... get up, I'll pick it up myself..."

"No need, I can do it myself... Don't move..."

Lin Yuru pressed one hand against Zeng Xiaofan, half of her body leaning and pressing heavily across his lap.

Huu....

Zeng Xiaofan involuntarily tensed all over, taking a deep breath....

"Ms. Yuru..." Zeng Xiaofan opened his mouth, his voice turning somewhat hoarse.

He pushed his body back as far as he could, trying to maintain some distance between himself and Lin Yuru.

Yet for every inch he retreated, Lin Yuru pressed closer, her body remaining flush against him.

With no other choice, Zeng Xiaofan could only raise both hands in surrender, leaving Lin Yuru to hunt for the bottle cap.

Looking down, an inadvertent glance caught sight of Lin Yuru's firm yet soft back...

At just a single glance, Zeng Xiaofan's face flushed with embarrassment, and his breathing grew heavy once again.

Although Lin Yuru was fully clothed and nothing inappropriate was exposed, her entire being radiated an ineffable, mature feminine charm.

Especially upon catching that fleeting glimpse of her back, Zeng Xiaofan felt as though someone had struck a vital pressure point on his body, causing his manly frame to jolt violently.

Sensing Zeng Xiaofan's tension, Lin Yuru didn't say anything, merely keeping her head down as she searched for the cap.

"Well... how strange..."

"It definitely fell down here~"

"I saw it fall with my own eyes, how can it be gone..."

"How bizarre..."

As she spoke, Lin Yuru even gave her waist a little twist. Unable to take it any longer, Zeng Xiaofan hurriedly reached out to help her up.

"Auntie Yuru... You... get up!"

Lowering her voice with added emphasis, Lin Yuru declared, "I'll find it!"

"Don't move!"

With that, Lin Yuru pressed her left hand firmly against Zeng Xiaofan, preventing him from moving an inch.
