Chapter 535 Lu Yunzhou Successfully Stood Up

"It’s nothing. I just heard someone talking in the next room. He must have woken up and can walk now."

Lu Yunque was deeply grateful to Yun Zijin. If it weren’t for her, Lu Yunzhou’s leg might have been crippled for life.

If Lu Yunzhou couldn’t accept the fact that he was paralyzed, his future would have definitely been a mess.

A smile spread across Yun Zijin’s face when she heard that Lu Yunzhou could walk.

"That’s wonderful."

"It is. And it’s all thanks to you, my treasure."

Lu Yunque bent down, wrapped Yun Zijin in his arms, and nuzzled against her neck.

Yun Zijin could understand Lu Yunque’s feelings at that moment.

Although she didn’t have any extremely close siblings, she saw all the children at the orphanage as her own little brothers and sisters.

If one of the kids from the orphanage ever had an accident, Yun Zijin knew she would break down, too.

TAP! TAP! TAP!

Just then, the sound of footsteps echoed from the hallway outside. Lu Yunque released Yun Zijin and opened the door to see who it was.

To his surprise, as soon as he opened the door, he saw Ms. Huo and Lu Yunfeng.

Each of them was carrying a bag, which likely contained takeout.

"My mom and Lu Yunfeng are back."

Lu Yunque left the door open and turned to walk back into the room.

"Zijin, I bought you some congee with preserved egg and lean pork! See if you like it. If not, I’ll have someone bring something else over."

Huo Yue Lan placed the food on the table in Yun Zijin’s hospital room, but when she turned, she saw that Yun Zijin was still hooked up to an IV and couldn’t leave her bed for long.

"This bed should have a table. Little sparrow, you figure it out. Zijin is on a drip; she can’t move far."

It didn’t take Lu Yunque much time to find the overbed table. After some fiddling, a small table was propped up in front of Yun Zijin at just the right height.

Huo Yue Lan placed the congee she had bought for Yun Zijin on it, along with a glass of milk.

"Sister Yun, are you okay? I saw Second Brother carrying you out earlier, and my heart almost leaped out of my chest."

The situation had been a bit tense earlier, so Lu Yunfeng had quietly laid low. Now that he saw Yun Zijin was awake, he hurried over to check on her.

"Alright, you have your brother’s food. Hurry up and give it to him!"

After speaking, as if she had just remembered something, Huo Yue Lan walked out of Yun Zijin’s hospital room again.

Yun Zijin looked up at Lu Yunque. ’What is she doing?’

"She probably went to check on my brother’s condition."

Ms. Huo was Lu Yunque’s mother, after all. If she didn’t even show that much concern, one would have to wonder if Lu Yunzhou was truly Huo Yue Lan’s biological son.

"That’s right. Your mother went out to buy me food; she hasn’t had a chance to check on Brother Lu’s condition yet."

"Just focus on eating. When you’re done and feeling a bit better, I’ll take you home. I’ve already requested a day off from school for you tomorrow. You can rest for a day before going back."

In any case, Yun Zijin didn’t have many classes to begin with, so taking a day off was easy.

"You requested it for me? In what capacity?"

’Dijing University’s rules are quite strict. For something like taking leave, you have to request it in person unless you physically can’t make it.’

"As your... fiancé."

’If I just said I was her boyfriend, the school definitely wouldn’t approve it. After all, graduation season is breakup season.’

’But a fiancé... that makes us a prospective married couple who just haven’t completed the formalities. It gives me a certain standing, which would make the school more likely to relent.’

"Since when are you my fiancé?"

’There hasn’t even been a proposal! I’m not going to acknowledge it!’

"I know, I’m not... yet. But I definitely will be in the future! I’m just letting other people know my future title in advance."

’In any case, he was absolutely not going to give Yun Zijin a chance to leave him.’

Yun Zijin shot Lu Yunque a look but didn’t say anything more.

’Anyway, her classes were almost over. In the coming weeks, as long as she finished the final exams for each subject, she would be on break!’

’As for failing, Yun Zijin never worried about that.’

After finishing the congee, Yun Zijin’s energy and spirits were mostly restored. Not wanting to be gawked at like an animal in a zoo at the hospital, Yun Zijin had Lu Yunque take her home.

Even though she didn’t have to go to school tomorrow, Yun Zijin still had this week’s spending task of ￥38,000,000 to complete. Taking advantage of her day off, she decided to go to the mall to finish the task.

Therefore, to make things easier, Yun Zijin had Lu Yunque take her back to Jade Lake.

Lu Yunzhou had planned to slowly walk over to the next room to formally thank Yun Zijin. To his surprise, just as he voiced this idea, he was told that she had already gone home.

Since she wasn’t there, he couldn’t just go wandering around her empty hospital room, so he had to drop the idea.

The next day, Yun Zijin had just woken up when she saw that Qin Sitong had shared a picture of the Xinghua Street branch of the Wangyou Milk Tea Shop in their "Beautiful Girls 4" group chat.

—TheRealSitong: [Image.jpg] What do you think? I’ve set the opening for February 14th. How does Valentine’s Day sound?

Qin Sitong hadn’t been to the Wangyou Milk Tea Shop lately; she’d been busy with the new branch.

Now that she had finally chosen an opening date, Yun Zijin responded immediately.

—Qingqing Zijing: Of course, I support it 100%! I’ll be there on opening day.

Since it was just an ordinary milk tea shop opening, Qin Sitong didn’t want to make a big deal out of it.

She was just planning to set off some electronic firecrackers in front of the store, not even holding a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

As long as the products in the store were good enough, Yun Zijin believed there would definitely be many repeat customers.

Su Mengyao and Tu Tutu also sent their congratulations in the group chat, adding that they would definitely be there on opening day to show their support.

However, compared to a traditionalist like Qin Sitong, Yun Zijin felt that just setting off electronic firecrackers was nowhere near enough.

So, with a few quick taps, Yun Zijin sent a message to Lu Yunque.

Since it was a grand opening, and on Valentine’s Day no less, Yun Zijin thought it was fine to be a little more high-profile.

Dijing prohibited the use of fireworks and firecrackers. If you wanted to set them off, you had to apply for approval from the relevant departments.

Only after the application was approved could you set off fireworks and firecrackers at the specified time and place.

Yun Zijin didn’t know anyone in that field. But Lu Yunque, being a Dijing old-timer and the CEO of the Lu Group, surely had resources in that area. At the very least, he could tell her who to talk to, and Yun Zijin could handle it herself.

When Lu Yunque received Yun Zijin’s message, he was a bit surprised to see she was asking how to apply for a fireworks permit in Dijing.

Nevertheless, he asked Mo Bin to look into it, then sent a detailed list of the required materials and credentials to Yun Zijin.

—L: Why the sudden interest in fireworks?

—Qingqing Zijing: The new store is opening on Valentine’s Day. It’s for promotion.

’Setting off fireworks on Valentine’s Day... if nothing else, all the young couples out on dates will definitely watch.’

’Then, word will spread, and their little shop will become famous.’

’Besides, the very act of using fireworks for promotion will make people curious about the new Wangyou Milk Tea branch.’

’After all, even decent fireworks aren’t cheap, let alone a large-scale display.’
