Chapter 208: Chapter 200: Wild Picnic (Part 5)

Fenghuang Ridge was known as the "green lung" of Capital City. Not too far from the urban area, it was praised as "scenery of the distant suburbs, roads of the nearby suburbs."

The tour bus sped along, and at some point, someone started singing Mao Ning’s "The Waves Are Still." At first, one person sang, then others joined in, and soon, nearly everyone was singing loudly together.

Infected by the atmosphere brimming with youthful zest, Lu Yun couldn’t help but hum along when she heard the line, "Many years later, only to find myself back by your side."

The moon sets, and the crows cry, akin to a thousand years of frost and dew

The sound of the waves is still there, yet the nights of yore are gone

...

Once someone started, the rest of the journey was filled with an unending cascade of songs, one after the other, lifting everyone’s spirits— "The Sailor," "Going Home," "Childhood," "The Moon at Fifteen"...

When they arrived at their destination, many were still reluctant to stop. Wu Xiuyu’s cheeks were flushed with excitement, and she even urged Lu Yun to finish the song "Childhood" they hadn’t completed on the bus.

All the way, she forgot she had felt no signs of motion sickness at all.

Seeing how enthusiastic she was, singing from her throat and not using the diaphragmatic technique, Lu Yun almost felt the pain in her throat for her.

Unable to resist, she took out a slightly larger jade bottle and poured her a longan-sized elixir, "Suck on this. It’s cooling and soothing for the throat."

Wu Xiuyu popped the elixir directly into her mouth and exclaimed, "Wow, Lu Yun, this is really effective. How come my throat feels so much better all of a sudden? You brought such a complete set of medicines with you."

She took the jade bottle from Lu Yun’s hand and examined it, then marveled, "Hey, this bottle is so pretty. It doesn’t look like glass; it seems carved from jade."

Lu Yun chuckled softly without responding. Whichever medicine she produced with her hands from the space had great effects. Using a jade bottle was just to ensure the best preservation of the medicine’s properties.

Of course, this jade bottle was also from the space.

"You’ve got throat-soothing medicine? I’ll take some too."

"Me too, I want some as well."

...

Once they heard about the throat-soothing elixir, several classmates nearby surged over to ask for some. After singing for half the day, everyone’s throats were sore, and who wouldn’t like something to ease the discomfort?

The news spread fast, and suddenly about thirty people on the scene heard about it and came over.

Wu Xiuyu held the jade bottle and glanced at Lu Yun, who seemed troubled.

She couldn’t help but blame herself for shouting out loud, which now put Lu Yun in an awkward position for not handing out the elixir to everyone. However, just by looking at the bottle, she knew it must be precious, not to mention that after trying it, she found its effects to be extremely good.

At the same time, she immediately remembered that after taking Lu Yun’s motion sickness medicine, she hadn’t felt any nausea or urge to vomit during the trip.

Wu Xiuyu immediately felt guilty and gave Lu Yun an apologetic look. Lu Yun smiled and nodded at her, and Wu Xiuyu felt even more embarrassed, "There’s not enough for everyone, and you’ve seen how small the bottle is. Lu Yun hasn’t even taken any herself. She should have one first, and if there’s anyone who doesn’t get any, they shouldn’t be upset."

Lu Yun smiled. "There aren’t many pills, but everyone can take a small pot and dissolve a pill in two bottles of mineral water. Everyone drinking a sip or two will also moisten the throat and the effect is not bad."

Wu Xiuyu’s eyes lit up; naturally, it was best if everyone could be taken care of. She quickly grabbed the bottle and started bustling about with the help of the class leader. Soon, everyone had a sip of the medicinal water to soothe their throats, including Lu Yun herself.

After drinking the water, there were continuous exclamations of praise, and many people came to thank Lu Yun.

When most of the people had dispersed, one of the girls came over to inquire from Lu Yun.

"Thank you for the medicine, Lu Yun. What’s the name of this throat-soothing pill, and where can I buy it? My mom is an elementary school teacher and is always suffering from a sore throat. I really want to buy some for her," she asked.

"This medicine isn’t on the market yet, but it might be available after a while. You could keep an eye out for ’Lu Family’ chain pharmacies."

Lu Yun gave the girl a friendly smile. She liked that the girl thought of her own mother first when she came across something good. Lu Group was in the process of acquiring pharmaceutical factories, and once everything was settled, the more "ordinary" pills and elixirs in her possession would hit the market for the general public.

"Do you mean ’Lu Family Pharmacy’ owned by Lu Group?" The girl looked at Lu Yun doubtfully and tentatively asked, "Your surname is also Lu. Could it be that the famous Lu Group belongs to your family?"

"That’s right." With nothing to hide, Lu Yun openly admitted it.

"No wonder your family can afford to hire a driver to pick you up and drop you off. I have a cousin who works at Lu Group in Haicheng. My aunt and uncle are so proud of him when talking about my cousin in the family. They say with the year-end bonus, he now earns over a thousand yuan a month.

Your company’s benefits are also super good. Every year they select outstanding employees to take their parents and family on a vacation. My aunt and uncle got to go on a trip like that the year before last and they bragged about it for a long time. They still bring it up now and again," she continued, her eyes growing large.

"Lu Group is your family’s? But you said your parents do small business, didn’t you?" Wu Xiuyu, who also had heard of Lu Group and knew it was a large-scale company, held the little jade bottle in her hand, and while she was placing it back into Lu Yun’s hand, she was also surprised.

"My parents just started doing business a few years earlier than others," Lu Yun said with a casual smile before asking the earlier girl, "Are you also from Haicheng? What’s your cousin’s name?"

"Yeah, my hometown is also Haicheng. My name is Feng Sijia, and my cousin’s name is Yan Junshan," Feng Sijia replied excitedly, "When I go back, my mom will finally be able to show off to my aunt—look, is your son working at Lu Group that impressive? My daughter is in the same class at Capital City as the Lu Group heiress. Hahaha."

Feng Sijia shared her amusement with Lu Yun, "Let’s be in the same group later, Lu Yun. With such a coincidence that I’ve run into, I’m just too lucky. It’s about time my aunt humbled herself in front of my mom."

"You’re at B University now; how can your aunt still boast in front of your mom?" Wu Xiuyu found it incredible, "Shouldn’t it be the other way around?"

"Ah, who would think otherwise? My aunt’s just different from others. But Lu Yun’s family company is really famous in Haicheng. It’s so hard to get in; people are fighting tooth and nail for a spot. That’s why my aunt has always been able to stand tall in front of my mom," Feng Sijia couldn’t help but glance at Lu Yun with a smile as she spoke.
