Rich Parents Found Me After I Got a Tycoon System? Yeah, I'm Not Interested

Chapter 203: Chapter 203: Heading to the C City Panda Base

Yun Zijin held the pill a little farther away from herself. She took a big gulp of water, hesitated for a moment, and then finally put the pill in her mouth.

But the pill dissolved the instant it touched the water, and Yun Zijin immediately tasted its bitterness.

Her brow furrowed, but for the sake of their outing tomorrow, she endured the bitterness and swallowed the water in her mouth.

’If I had known this herbal pill would dissolve in water, I would have drunk less,’ she thought.

"Chocolate!"

As soon as she had swallowed the pill and water, Yun Zijin immediately asked Lu Yunque for chocolate.

Lu Yunque had already unwrapped a piece and was waiting. Seeing Yun Zijin swallow everything, he brought the chocolate to her lips.

Yun Zijin opened her mouth and took a large bite. The bitterness mixed with the taste of chocolate, and she frowned slightly, taking another sip of water from her cup.

"Does it still hurt?"

Yun Zijin was speechless.

"The medicine probably won’t work that fast. You should go back to your room for now. It should get better after a while."

Yun Zijin’s face was still a bit pale, but at least she wasn’t as uncomfortable as before.

Lu Yunque was a little worried, but it was the middle of the night. It wasn’t appropriate for a grown man like him to stay in a young woman’s room for too long.

"I’ll head back to my room, then. Don’t lock your door, and call me immediately if anything happens."

After all the commotion, it was already almost 3:00 a.m.

Yun Zijin nodded. Under the circumstances, she wasn’t foolish enough to lock the door from the inside.

After leaving Yun Zijin’s room, Lu Yunque finally realized he’d been so focused on her well-being that he’d completely forgotten to scold her for eating recklessly and causing this whole mess.

But he was already out of the room, and it wouldn’t be right to go back in just to lecture her. He could settle this score tomorrow, once she was feeling better.

Having decided, Lu Yunque closed Yun Zijin’s door and returned to his own room.

「 」

At 7:00 in the morning, Lu Yunque’s internal clock woke him up.

After seeing the time, he got out of bed with great discipline to wash up, taking a moment to call the front desk and order breakfast.

When he finished and stepped out of his room, the living room was, just as he’d expected, completely empty.

It was now 7:30 a.m. Lu Yunque waited until it was nearly eight o’clock before knocking on Yun Zijin’s door.

At that moment, Yun Zijin was still sound asleep in her bed.

Lu Yunque’s knock interrupted Yun Zijin’s dream, and she murmured, "Come in."

Worried that her stomach ache might not have fully subsided, Lu Yunque made a point to check Yun Zijin’s complexion as he entered.

"How are you feeling? Does your stomach still hurt?"

"It doesn’t hurt anymore. That pill didn’t taste very good, but it worked really well."

Last night, about half an hour after Lu Yunque left her room, the pain in her stomach had slowly started to fade.

After that, she slept straight through until morning, only waking up when Lu Yunque had just knocked.

"I called the hotel to order breakfast. Since you had a stomach ache yesterday, I only ordered some light, easily digestible food."

"It should arrive around the time you finish washing up."

Yun Zijin nodded. "Okay, I’ll get up right away."

"I’ll head out first, then. Take your time. There’s no rush."

With that, Lu Yunque left Yun Zijin’s room.

Yun Zijin didn’t laze in bed either. She threw back the covers, got up, and started her morning routine.

Remembering she had only used Rose Essential Oil for her skincare last night, Yun Zijin compensated by doing her full, extensive routine this morning.

As a result, it was nearly an hour later by the time she finally came out of her room.

A wide spread of breakfast dishes was laid out on the living room table. However, given Yun Zijin’s stomach ache yesterday, Lu Yunque ultimately only allowed her to have a bowl of plain congee with a few vegetable dumplings.

Yun Zijin knew her stomach ache was her own fault for not eating in moderation, so she had no grounds to argue with Lu Yunque’s decision and could only compromise.

But inwardly, she was already plotting how she could get her hands on more delicious food during their outing today.

’To come all this way only to be stuck with congee and side dishes... This is pure torture!’

After breakfast, to Yun Zijin’s great anticipation, Lu Yunque finally announced their itinerary for the morning: the C City Panda Base.

Hearing this news, Yun Zijin was absolutely thrilled. She was so happy!

On the way there, Yun Zijin made no effort to hide her good mood. Who doesn’t love those black-and-white furballs?

Even if she could only see them from a distance, she would still adore them.

"You’re this happy?"

Watching her excitement, Lu Yunque found his own mood lifting unconsciously.

"Of course! I’ve wanted to come here for a long time. I originally thought I wouldn’t get the chance until after I’d worked for a few years, but I can’t believe it’s happening so soon."

Lu Yunque recalled how Yun Zijin had been relying on work-study programs to save up for tuition and living expenses before this past summer vacation, and a flicker of understanding crossed his mind.

In truth, Yun Zijin’s sudden wealth was full of inconsistencies. Yet, when he had someone look into it at the beginning, they couldn’t find anything out of place.

The only explanation was that the Yun Zijin from before had been hiding her true identity, only revealing it during the summer vacation of her junior year.

However, Lu Yunque didn’t care about any of that. He liked Yun Zijin for who she was, not for her money.

"If you like it, we can visit every panda base in the country together in the future."

Hua Country has panda bases in more places than just C City.

"Okay!"

The chance to see more black-and-white furballs naturally made Yun Zijin happy.

As the two chatted, the hotel’s private car quickly arrived at the C City Panda Base.

The moment she stepped out of the car, a wave of hot air washed over her.

Even in October, the south was still scorching hot.

Lu Yunque had already bought the tickets in advance. They were VIP tickets that came with a dedicated guide, meaning they could skip the queue. All they had to do was follow the guide and scan a code to enter the park.

Lu Yunque held Yun Zijin’s hand, with Zero One and his men following behind.

The group was undeniably conspicuous. Their guide spotted them immediately and came jogging toward them, holding a small tour flag.

"Are you Mr. Lu and Miss Yun?"

The guide was a woman of about thirty with her hair in a high ponytail. She was dressed in a black, white, and gray tracksuit and wore a baseball cap, looking very professional.

"Yes. Are you Cao Man, Guide Cao?"

Yun Zijin looked at Cao Man.

Cao Man nodded. "That’s right! I’ll be accompanying you for the entire duration of your tour through the base, providing commentary as we go."

As she spoke, Cao Man glanced at Lu Yunque. Seeing his cold and aloof expression, she knew her main point of contact for this tour would be the young woman with him.

"Alright, please lead the way."

Sensing that Lu Yunque was probably not used to talking with women, Yun Zijin proactively took on the responsibility of communicating with Cao Man.

Cao Man nodded. "Let’s go. We’ll head inside first."

Holding the tour flag, Cao Man walked at the very front of the group.

Yun Zijin and Lu Yunque followed behind her, and then came Zero One and his seven men.

"Hey! How come they get to go straight in without waiting in line? That’s not fair to the rest of us who bought tickets and are still waiting in line!"

Someone shouted the protest just as Yun Zijin’s group reached the entrance.

They had all arrived at the same time, so why could that group go straight in while they had to wait in line?
