n

nLu Jianlin arrived very soon. Clearly, he had gotten the driver to speed up.

n

nThe expression on his face at this moment was no longer as stern as before. There was even excitement in his eyes.

n

n“Is Yunxiao really conscious?”

n

n“That’s right.”

n

nThe three of them, who were waiting for him in the living room, stood up and they headed towards the basement together.

n

nWhen they arrived at the underground lab, Zi Yi connected to Lu Yunxiao’s ward.

n

nElder Hu and Lu Yi were seen standing by the transparent container

n

nAt the sight of Lu Jianlin, they first saluted and greeted him.

n

nLu Jianlin nodded to the two men and asked Zi Yi, “Little Zi, how are we going to converse with Yunxiao?”

n

nZi Yi brought up the virtual keyboard. After her fingers tapped on the keyboard for a while, a virtual screen appeared inside the ward and it connected to the main controller next to the container.

n

nSoon, brain waves were being displayed on the controller.

n

nZi Yi said to them, “I’m connecting to Yunxiao’s brain waves now. You can tell him if you have anything to say. But it’s best to keep the sentence short, as it would be easier on him. He shouldn’t speak too much or else it will put pressure on him.”

n

nThe three Lu Family members made eye contact with each other.

n

nIn the end, Lu Jianlin said to Mrs. Lu, who was somewhat shaking due to excitement, “Lingluo, what do you want to say to Yunxiao?”

n

n“I… I don’t know.”

n

nThere were too many things she wanted to say but her mind was completely blank now that she had been asked to say a simple sentence.

n

n“Jianlin, why don’t you say it first? I… I can talk to Yunxiao later,” Mrs. Lu said this with great distress.

n

nLu Jianlin held her hand and said, “We’ll each say one sentence.”

n

nMrs. Lu opened her mouth but ended up nodding her head.

n

nZi Yi had soon connected to Lu Yunxiao’s brain waves. She got Lu Jingye to speak first.

n

nLu Jingye unconsciously lowered his voice and called out. “Yunxiao.”

n

nAs soon as Lu Jingye spoke, Yunxiao’s brain waves fluctuated.

n

nSoon, a word was shown on the virtual screen.

n

nMrs. Lu gasped and covered her mouth. Her tears started spilling out again.

n

nLu Jianlin patted her on the shoulder and asked Zi Yi, “Little Zi, can I speak now?”

n

nZi Yi pressed a few keys on the keyboard and said, “Go ahead.”

n

nLu Jianlin looked at his second son who was submerged in the nutrient solution and his voice was slightly hoarse. “Yunxiao, this is Father. I order you to get better soon.”

n

nNo words were shown on the screen, but the fluctuation of the brain waves was greater.

n

nLu Jianlin’s expression stiffened.

n

nMrs. Lu asked anxiously, “Is what Jianlin said too long? Will it have an impact on Yunxiao?”

n

nBefore Zi Yi got the chance to reply, two words appeared on the screen. “Yes, Father!”

n

nMrs. Lu nearly teared up again due to joy.

n

nZi Yi quickly pressed a few keys again and said to Mrs. Lu, “Mom, you can talk now.”

n

nMrs. Lu tried her best to restrain her tears and used her gentlest voice to call out. “Yunxiao, this is Mother.”

n

nNo words had immediately appeared on the screen.

n

nOther than Zi Yi, everyone else could not help but hold back their breaths as their hearts seemed to come up to their throats.

n

nA longer time compared to earlier passed by before the word ‘Mother’ appeared on the screen.

n

n“Yunxiao finally called out me. Wuuuu…” Mrs. Lu finally lost control and threw herself into Lu Jianlin’s embrace as she cried loudly.

n

nZi Yi quickly swiped around on the virtual screen.

n

nLu Jingye saw how the brainwaves on the screen became stable and breathed a sigh of relief. “Little Zi, is Yunxiao alright?”

n

n“It’s fine, he’s just a little tired.”

n

nZi Yi pressed around for some time before she stopped and turned off the virtual screen. She started discussing with Elder Hu.

n

n“Since Yunxiao is awake, we can change his medicine.” Zi Yi thought about it and said, “Ah Jing and I will come over on the 26th.”

n

nTheir wedding was going to be held on the 24th and they had to make a trip to her Uncle’s house on the 25th.

n

nElder Hu nodded his head and asked, “Do I need to make any preparations in these next few days?”

n

n“You can…”

n

nZi Yi told Elder Hu many things.

n

nElder Hu could not remember them all and so he got Lu Yi, who was standing next to him, to record them down.

n

nZi Yi turned off the video call after they were done and the four of them returned to the living room.

n

nMrs. Lu held onto Zi Yi’s hand and said, “Yiyi, since Yunxiao has regained his consciousness, when will he be able to wake up?”

n

n“It’s possible that he might wake up any time.”

n

n“Really?”

n

n“That’s right.”

n

nAfter getting a positive answer, Mrs. Lu suddenly hugged Zi Yi and said excitedly, “That’s great.”

n

nShe could not help but start crying once again.

n

nZi Yi patted her back. She knew that she was crying out of joy and did not try to console her.

n

nAfter Mrs. Lu’s emotions had recovered slightly, Lu Jianlin asked, “Little Zi, what do we need to prepare now?”

n

nZi Yi and Lu Jingye made eye contact.

n

nLu Jingye said, “There’s no need for you to prepare anything. Yiyi has already informed me of whatever needs to be prepared.”

n

nLu Jianlin nodded his head and he suddenly said to Zi Yi in a serious tone, “Thank you, Little Zi.”

n

nZi Yi smiled and said, “Father, Yunxiao is Jingye’s younger brother and so he is also my younger brother. It’s only natural that I save him.”

n

nLu Jianlin’s face showed a trace of emotion and he said, “You two will be holding your wedding in a few days, you should take a good rest and make sure you don’t overwork yourself.”

n

nMrs. Lu nodded approvingly. “That’s right. You do experiments until very late every day and if you get dark circles under your eyes, I’d like to see how you wear your wedding dress well.”

n

nZi Yi nodded obediently. “Got it!”

n

nLu Jianlin and Mrs. Lu showed gratified expressions at the same time.

n

nThe four of them chatted for a while more but Lu Jianlin still had to go back to work, while Mrs. Lu had to go to Lu Jingye’s villa to supervise the work. The two of them left together by car.

n

nZi Yi looked at Lu Jingye and he said, “The set of jewelry Mother designed for you will be arriving today, do you want to try it on when it comes?”

n

nZi Yi nodded her head. “Yes.”

n

nThe both of them stood up at the same time.

n

nZi Yi originally planned to go to the villa, when she suddenly heard the sound of a car driving in. Following that, the voice of Ian greeting the housekeeper could be heard.

n

n“Hello, Mr. Housekeeper. Is Lu and Zi around?”

n

n“Yes, they are here.”

n

nZi Yi and Lu Jingye waited in the living room for a short moment and saw Ian coming in from the courtyard with the housekeeper.

n

nIan looked at them with a smile. “I thought that you would be busy at this time.”

n

nZi Yi checked him out from head to toe.

n

nIan was wearing his most decent and handsome white suit with a thick, gray woolen coat on the outside. His blond curly hair was even styled and most importantly, he wore a brooch and cufflinks.

n

n“We’ve really been busy all day long.” Zi Yi sighed and asked, “So who invited you to go and drink coffee again today?”

n

nIn fact, she very much wanted to ask: “You’ve been drinking coffee these past few days; aren’t you afraid of having an overdose of coffee?”

n

nUnexpectedly, Ian smiled while showing his teeth. “I didn’t drink coffee today. Xiangling and I went to the building materials shop and the flower and bird market.

n

nZi Yi was surprised. “Then why are you dressed so… flowery?”

n

nIan disagreed with her point of view. “We were there to discuss business and obviously I have to dress formally.”
