Chapter 360 - Chapter 360 Young friend from hometown is coming over

Chapter 360: Young friend from hometown is coming over Chapter 360: Young friend from hometown is coming over Tan Kelin rested his hand on his chin, seemingly calculating the bill after puzzling over the names of the dishes.

The two stern-type teachers had no interest in joining the jokes.

“Your phone is ringing.”

Nudged by the person next to her, Xie Wanying took out her phone.

“Yingying, are you in your dorm?”

“Li Xuan?” Recognizing her childhood friend’s voice, Xie Wanying was surprised.

“I’m in the Capital for some business these days, and I’m about to pass by your school. I wanted to drop off something for you. Are you there? If you’re not, I’ll just leave it at your place and go, so I won’t disturb your work.”

“I’m at–” Xie Wanying thought about explaining to her childhood friend.

Sun Yubo sitting beside her said, “Is that your friend? If she hasn’t eaten yet, invite her to join us.”

Adding a couple of extra bowls and chopsticks was no big deal for the generous teachers.

First, Xie Wanying thanked the teachers and then told her childhood friend, “I’m at Jinyu Restaurant.”

“I’ll let the taxi driver know.” Wu Lixuan gave the new address to the driver and asked, “Who are you having dinner with tonight?”

“Classmates and teachers.”

“A get-together,” Wu Lixuan said with a clear understanding, “I’ll give you the stuff and then I’ll leave.”

Her phone had just been put down for less than a minute before it rang again.

“I’m at the entrance to Jinyu. The taxi driver says he can stop right here.” Wu Lixuan said, “What a coincidence.”

After excusing herself from the teachers, Xie Wanying hurried out to meet her friend and was soon at the entrance of the hall.

“Over here, Yingying.” Wu Lixuan called out loudly, holding about a dozen gift bags in both hands, a very impressive sight.

“You brought so much?” Xie Wanying was startled by her.

“It’s the tea from my shop, all the good stuff I’ve brought over for you. If you can’t finish it all by yourself, it’s fine, I have some for your senior brothers and teachers, and colleagues. Last time I was sick, your senior sister gave me medicine, and I need to thank her,” Wu Lixuan explained. “Also, your godmother was right, you’re not good at socializing, so she told me to help you out. You should give gifts to teachers and leaders during holidays to improve student-teacher and superior-subordinate relations. Do you understand?”

“My mom–” After hearing her childhood friend’s words, Xie Wanying felt helpless. Her mom had always said that Li Xuan was better at socializing than she was. Xie Wanying might be better at studying, but not so great at dealing with these worldly matters. And she had always believed such efforts were futile. She clarified to her childhood friend right away, “The teachers don’t like it and won’t give students the opportunity to bribe them.”

“I know. Would I do something that could harm your teachers?” Wu Lixuan laughed loudly and reassured her. “I know about these things better than you do. I know which red lines not to cross. I’m scared of going to jail myself. I just wanted to take the chance to make a few more friends, since they are all your friends. It’s good to have many friends. These are tea samples. They’re meant to be given to clients for tasting, free of charge.”

So that was it. Xie Wanying was relieved.

“There’s too much stuff. I’ll help you carry it to where we need to put it down.” Wu Lixuan didn’t let her carry everything at once, worried it might be too heavy, and together they made their way through the hall saying, “The hand you use to hold a scalpel is so important, it can’t get tired.”

To their surprise, someone standing in front just so happened to overhear them and couldn’t help but chuckle, “The hand that holds a scalpel can’t get tired–”

He was laughing so hard inside. He had only ever heard that piano players shouldn’t tire out their hands but never that someone holding a scalpel couldn’t tire out their hand.

They were greeted by a burst of hearty laughter. Wu Lixuan and Xie Wanying stopped their conversation and turned to look straight ahead.

In a blue shirt over jeans, a bespectacled gentleman who had quite a girlish look about him was smiling at them.

Wu Lixuan seemed to recognize the person and asked her childhood friend, “Is that your Senior Brother Huang, Yingying?”
