Chapter 999: Chapter 1000: Teacher Is So Rich
Song Xiaodong turned his head to look at Lu Yaobing. Lu Yaobingâs eyes showed a bit of panic, but she straightened her chest and said, "Master, Master, Iâm just a little closer to my mentor, donât overthink it."
Since Lu Yaobing said so, what else could Song Xiaodong say? However, he deliberately put on a serious face and said, "You little girl, youâre getting more and more mischievous."
Seeing that Song Xiaodong didnât object and still had that serious face, Lu Yaobing felt relieved instead, giggled, and said, "Youâre my master, not someone else. With you, I feel relaxed. If it were someone else, I wouldnât dare."
Song Xiaodong still kept a straight face and said, "Itâs fine here, but at school, you better behave, or else there might be rumors."
"Yes, yes, I know." Lu Yaobing chuckled and hugged Song Xiaodongâs arm even tighter.
"You little girl, youâre really becoming more audacious."
"With your serious face, you really resemble my dad. My dad always has this stern face, so I feel close to you."
"Phew..." Song Xiaodongâs face darkened, and he said, "Do I look that old?"
"Itâs not about age, itâs about a master having the demeanor of a master. As a disciple, in front of my master, Iâm like a child, so I feel more at ease."
"Alright, I canât be bothered with you." Song Xiaodong shook his head, deciding not to dwell on it further. With Lu Yaobing having such thoughts, he didnât need to think too much about it.
"Ah, Master, Iâm so hungry." Before they reached downstairs, Lu Yaobing clutched her stomach and cried out.
Only then did Song Xiaodong remember that neither of them had eaten dinner yet, and considering that Lu Yaobing had expelled impurities from her body, her appetite must have increased. No wonder sheâs hungry now.
Song Xiaodong said, "Alright, then Iâll treat you to a meal."
Lu Yaobing replied, "No need, you should hurry home to accompany Mistress; otherwise, if Mistress blames me, Iâll be in big trouble. Iâll go find classmates to eat with."
Song Xiaodong felt quite satisfied in his heart. At least this Lu Yaobing wasnât so clingy. He smiled and said, "Alright, do you need any money?"
"No, no, Master taught me things, and I havenât even properly shown my respect to Master yet. How can I spend Masterâs money?"
It wasnât actually late, not even 8 PM, and the sky had just turned dark. Song Xiaodong escorted Lu Yaobing to the school. Even though they were near the school, Lu Yaobing let go of Song Xiaodongâs arm, but seeing the two walking side by side still attracted quite a bit of attention.
Below Lu Yaobingâs dormitory building, three girls were waiting there. Seeing the two approaching, they immediately gathered around.
Wang Xiaoling sized up the two of them and said, "Hey, Teacher Song, you brought Yaobing back. Why not treat her to a meal too? Leaving us to accompany her to eat? Teacher Song, letâs all go together?"
"Yeah, yeah, letâs go together." The other two girls chimed in.
Lu Yaobing quickly said, "Teacher Song still has to go home."
Wang Xiaoling hurriedly said, "No way, Teacher Song, are you too afraid to eat with the students? Afraid you canât explain it well at home?"
The other two girls immediately stirred up trouble, "Exactly, Teacher Song, weâre purely student-teacher friendship. Canât we treat you to a meal?"
Song Xiaodong, hearing the three girls, found it hard to refuse any longer and smiled, "Alright then, Iâll treat you all to a meal, but no drinking."
"Oh yay!" Wang Xiaoling and the others cheered immediately.
Seeing their excitement, Song Xiaodong felt it was worth it. Being with these energetic kids made him feel younger.
"Letâs go, ride in my car together." Song Xiaodong led them to the parking lot.
"Wow, Teacher Song, you drive a Mercedes!"
"And itâs an S-Class! So rich!"
The group exclaimed as they saw Song Xiaodongâs car.
Song Xiaodong couldnât help but feel a bit speechless. This was already a very cheap car from the Su Family, and he chose it because he didnât want to show off. Yet, to regular students, this car still seemed a bit upscale.
With a slight smile, he invited the few people into the car and said, "Once you all master your majors, youâll soon afford a Mercedes too."
Wang Xiaoling sat behind Song Xiaodong, leaning on the seat back and said, "Really?"
Song Xiaodong started the car and said, "Of course, itâs true. A doctor with advanced medical skills will never lack money, and buying a Mercedes is not a big deal. Even buying a luxury house isnât hard."
This was also a way to encourage them to study hard. After all, many people go to college for future employment. The higher the employment prospects, the more motivated they will be to study.
"Teacher Song, youâre really our guiding light. We didnât have much hope for this major before. Now weâve discovered it has great potential!"
"Of course, but the prerequisite is you have to study well."
"Okay, okay, weâll definitely study hard, but..." Wang Xiaoling immediately continued, and then changed the topic, "Teacher Song, youâre so biased. Surely you gave all the benefits to Yaobing, not teaching us. How can we gain your true teachings like Yaobing?"
Lu Yaobing opened her mouth, wanting to explain, but she indeed was different from the other students.
Song Xiaodong said, "Thatâs not something you can compare to. Yaobing has a special constitution, so itâs easier for her to learn what I teach. Thatâs why I specifically give her extra lessons."
"Huh? You guys are just having classes?" Wang Xiaoling exclaimed in surprise.
Lu Yaobing spat at her and said, "What did you think?"
"I thought you had a teacher-student romance," Wang Xiaoling giggled.
Song Xiaodong laughed, "You overthought it, though Yaobing can be a step ahead of you, but itâs not like you donât have a chance. If you put in the effort, thereâs a chance to become like Yaobing."
With Song Xiaodongâs encouragement, everyone became even more enthusiastic.
Not far from the school, Song Xiaodong saw a good hotel and parked directly.
"Wow, Teacher Song, youâre not treating us to a meal here, are you?" Wang Xiaoling exclaimed immediately.
Song Xiaodong casually asked, "Whatâs wrong?"
"This place is super expensive. For a group of us, we canât get out without spending two thousand yuan."
"No problem, just treating you all to something nice." Song Xiaodong smiled and opened the car door.
Everyone cheered and immediately got out of the car, following Song Xiaodong into the hotel in pairs. However, their expressions were obviously a bit tense. For them, this certainly seemed a high-end venue.
But as soon as they entered the hotelâs door, they saw someone in the lobby, whose face immediately darkened. It was Director Liu Chunan, who Song Xiaodong had refused earlier that afternoon.
