Chapter 547 - 546: Class Reunion 1

She was just worried that Lu Yunque wouldn’t be used to such an affordable restaurant, which could make things awkward.

"It’s fine. I spent some time in the military. Back then, I could eat anything and sleep anywhere. My mysophobia was nearly cured."

However, before his mysophobia could be fully cured, Lu Yunque had decisively chosen to inherit the family company. ’The hardships of the military? I’ll let my big brother enjoy those.’

But now, after so much time had passed, Lu Yunque’s mysophobia had successfully been nurtured back.

Besides, Lu Yunzhou had since retired from the military as well. You could say things had certainly changed.

"Alright. As long as you’re fine with it, I won’t worry about it."

Yun Zijin had originally thought that if Lu Yunque was uncomfortable, she could chip in some money and have Wang Shuming switch to a restaurant with a better ambiance.

But since Lu Yunque said he was fine, Yun Zijin couldn’t be bothered to go to the extra trouble.

「Soon, the day of the class reunion arrived.」

When it was almost time, Wang Shuming sent a reminder in the group chat.

Many people in the group replied with "got it," but Yun Zijin didn’t respond.

The orphanage wasn’t too far from the restaurant near their old high school, so Yun Zijin and Lu Yunque left by car just 30 minutes beforehand.

They arrived at their destination in about 20 minutes.

Wang Shuming was worried that people might arrive and not know which private room it was, so he was waiting right at the entrance of the restaurant where they’d booked the room.

When he saw Yun Zijin step out of a Rolls-Royce, Wang Shuming was actually mentally prepared.

However, the moment he saw Lu Yunque, Wang Shuming started to lose his composure.

"Yun... my old deskmate, and this is..."

Although Lu Yunque rarely appeared in public, those who should recognize his face, did.

And Wang Shuming just happened to be one of those people who recognized Lu Yunque.

"This is my boyfriend. Didn’t you say we could bring a plus-one, class monitor?"

And this was her plus-one.

Wang Shuming: ’I figured you might bring a boyfriend, but I never imagined it would be *him*!’

"Yes! Of course you can bring a plus-one. The private room is 603. If you can’t find it, you can ask a server to show you the way. Quite a few people are already here."

"Okay, thanks, class monitor."

Yun Zijin took Lu Yunque’s hand, and the two of them entered the restaurant together.

A few members of Zero One remained, with one staying by the entrance while the rest followed Yun Zijin inside.

Once Yun Zijin and Lu Yunque were inside the restaurant, Wang Shuming became a bundle of nerves.

He recalled seeing Mr. Lu with Yun Zijin at Yungong No. 1. He just hadn’t expected them to be a couple.

And from the looks of it, they’d probably been together for a long time.

If there weren’t still classmates who hadn’t arrived, Wang Shuming would have rushed back to the private room that very second.

’To think I’d get to meet Lu Yunque... My ancestors must be smiling down on me!’

Yun Zijin was unaware of Wang Shuming’s excitement. After entering the restaurant, she knew exactly where to go without even needing to ask a server.

This wasn’t her first time at this restaurant, so she knew the layout like the back of her hand.

Lu Yunque quietly followed beside Yun Zijin, letting her lead him by the hand without a single complaint about where they were going.

Soon, Yun Zijin found private room 603—room 03 on the 6th floor.

Yun Zijin knocked on the door a few times. When no one came to open it after a long moment, she sent a message to Wang Shuming.

Before long, someone came to open the door. It was a male classmate, but Yun Zijin couldn’t recall who he was.

But it didn’t matter. Even if Yun Zijin didn’t recognize them, they certainly recognized her.

"The University Genius is here! Come in, come in!"

Then he saw Lu Yunque standing beside Yun Zijin.

Although the group chat had said people could bring plus-ones, very few actually did.

He never expected Yun Zijin to actually bring someone.

’He’d thought someone like Yun Zijin, who only ever had her nose in a book, would actually get a boyfriend while still in school.’

Yun Zijin, unaware of his thoughts, led Lu Yunque into the private room.

At that moment, everyone in the room turned to look.

"The Yun University Genius has arrived!"

"Shh! The University Genius brought someone with her."

At this, everyone’s gaze shifted to Lu Yunque, who stood beside Yun Zijin.

Instantly, it was as if everyone had lost the ability to speak.

’Oh my god! It’s like an overbearing CEO from a novel just walked out of the pages!’

’That powerful aura of his... it’s definitely not something an ordinary person could have!’

’I have no idea how Yun Zijin managed to find such a top-tier catch.’

’If they ever break up, how will she ever find another boyfriend!’

"You two can sit here. These two seats are free."

The male student who had opened the door scanned the room and picked out two seats for them.

The other spots were either already taken or only had a single empty seat.

Since they were a couple, they would obviously want to sit together.

Yun Zijin and Lu Yunque weren’t picky and sat down in the two seats he pointed to.

Throughout it all, their every move was met with the focused attention of everyone in the room.

When the two of them sat down and looked up, they were met with pairs of eyes just begging to ask questions.

Perhaps it was because of the powerful aura emanating from Yun Zijin and Lu Yunque, but they wanted to ask, yet didn’t quite dare to.

"If you want to ask something, just ask. This is your only chance."

Having received Yun Zijin’s permission, someone finally dared to ask a question.

"Classmate Yun, is he your boyfriend from Dijing University?"

The moment this question was asked, practically everyone’s ears perked up.

"No, he graduated several years ago."

"I did my undergraduate degree at Dijing University," Lu Yunque added.

So, strictly speaking, Lu Yunque and Yun Zijin could be considered senior and junior alumni.

"Undergraduate? So, Classmate Yun’s boyfriend, you also did a postgraduate degree?"

Lu Yunque nodded. "Yes."

"If you don’t mind me asking, are you a Dijing local?"

Lu Yunque nodded again. "I am."

"In that case, Classmate Yun, does this mean you’ll be staying in Dijing and not coming back to G City?"

Many of them were quite sad to hear this.

After all, Yun Zijin was one of the few top-tier geniuses from their school who had managed to get into Dijing University.

The thought that they would no longer be living in the same city made meeting up seem difficult.

"That’s the plan, but this is my hometown. I’ll definitely come back when I have time."

She couldn’t just abandon the orphanage.

"Classmate Yun, can I see your bag?"

Several girls had been staring at Yun Zijin’s handbag ever since she entered the room.

It was so clearly a Hermes design, but thinking about how Yun Zijin grew up in an orphanage, they figured it must be a high-quality replica...

Yun Zijin glanced at the bag she had placed on the table. She had grabbed it casually when leaving that morning and hadn’t really paid attention to which one it was.

Only now did she realize she had taken her Hermes Birkin with the diamond buckle, albeit in the standard black-and-gold leather.

"Sure, go ahead."

Seeing that the girls’ eyes were filled with curiosity and not malice, Yun Zijin didn’t mind and handed the bag to them.

The girls carefully took the bag from Yun Zijin. ’If this is real, its price could probably buy a whole apartment in G City!’
