Chapter 476 - Chapter 476 【476】Juniors cannot bribe their seniors

Chapter 476: [(476)] Juniors cannot “bribe” their seniors Chapter 476: [(476)] Juniors cannot “bribe” their seniors The waiter said, “Mr. Cao settled the bill in advance.”

That wasn’t right. She was the one hosting. Anxious, she jogged to catch up with Senior Cao ahead: “Senior Cao, the meal–it was me–”

“No need. I can swipe my card faster at this restaurant,” Cao Yong said, opening the car door for her, “Get in.”

Looking around, she couldn’t block traffic, so Xie Wanying got into the car first to continue the debate over who was treating whom to dinner.

“Senior, you can’t just refuse my money. It was me treating you to dinner, not the other way around.”

The junior sister was so stubborn, she wasn’t happy unless she could pay for the meal she had invited him to.

Cao Yong gripped the steering wheel with both hands, the corners of his mouth lifted all the way.

“Senior Cao!” Xie Wanying was truly in a hurry now.

“Yingying, you should know, in our Guoxie, juniors don’t treat seniors to a meal, it’s always seniors treating juniors. Otherwise, it’s called bribery,” Cao Yong pretended to be serious, “criticizing” his junior sister.

Ah?! Xie Wanying was stunned.

“If you don’t believe me, you can ask Teacher Tan. Would he accept if you invited him to a meal?”

Xie Wanying blinked hard: It did seem, it did seem like that was the case…

Seeing that she finally stopped arguing about the cost of the meal, Cao Yong smiled while driving the car to the university gates.

A water pipe had burst near the university’s main gates during the day, and a construction team had dug up the road to repair it, encircling the area with a fence that blocked pedestrians’ view. People carefully walked around it.

Upon seeing this, Cao Yong couldn’t possibly let her get out here. It was dark and the street lights were dim; what if she slipped and fell?

He parked the car near the entrance of the emergency department at the hospital, from where she could cross into the medical school.

It was time to part ways with Senior Cao, so Xie Wanying took out the trench coat that she had cleaned at the laundry and gave it back to him.

“Wait a moment,” Cao Yong told her not to hurry off, taking out a paper bag.

“What’s this?”

“A few boxes of cassette tapes. I noticed you were quite interested last time. Also, a few German books I found in my study, weren’t you planning to study them? Take them,” Cao Yong stuffed the bag into her arms, leaving no room for protest.

If the junior sister gave him a gift, he could not let her go back empty-handed. He definitely wanted his things to accumulate more and more in the junior sister’s hands.

Overwhelmed by the reciprocal gift from her senior, Xie Wanying took a while to come back to her senses, then said, “Thank you, Senior, I’ll return them once I’m done reading the books and listening to the music.”

“Take your time to listen and read,” Cao Yong said, confident in waiting for his junior sister to have her Enlightenment. Today, the fact that she had given him a gift was a big step forward.

Xie Wanying was about to open the car door when Senior Cao suddenly tugged at her arm, causing her to turn and face him.

Cao Yong’s eyes were fixed on the road ahead, a solemnity flashing in his gaze: An ambulance with flashing lights sped back to the emergency department, sharply turning in the darkness, barely mindful of pedestrians.

He only slowly released her arm when there were no more cars ahead, cautioning her, “Be careful on the road, watch for vehicles.”

“Yes, Senior,” Xie Wanying nodded vigorously.

As a doctor, Senior Cao was very cautious about this kind of thing because, as a surgeon, he had seen too many pitiable victims of car accidents, which could be heart-wrenching for doctors.

Watching his junior sister get out of the car, Cao Yong thought about the envelope matter that he hadn’t mentioned and that she seemed to have completely forgotten.

It meant that the things they had blindly guessed about hadn’t happened at all.

“Senior, goodbye,” Xie Wanying waved goodbye to Senior Cao inside the car, then walked on.

Not in a hurry to drive off, Cao Yong’s gaze followed her figure until she disappeared around the turning corner, only then did he look back.
