Chapter 976: The Favor-Competing Senior Brothers [976]

"Who said that, she only buys apples for home," Yu Xuexian, who lived above Teacher Lu, claimed to be the person who understood the teacher the best.

"It’s because she usually tries to save money," Tao Zhijie said, speaking as if he understood Teacher Lu’s thoughts even better.

After buying chestnuts, Gao Zhaocheng walked back and joined the conversation: "Teacher Lu likes watermelon. Once when we went to her place, she served us watermelon."

One by one, they just contradicted his words. Yu Xuexian’s glasses caught a flash of displeasure, and he turned to the chestnuts Gao Zhaocheng was carrying: "Are you buying those for your wife?"

"Does she need me to buy these to take home for her? They’re for the teacher."

"The teacher doesn’t eat that," Yu Xuexian looked disdainfully at the chestnuts he had bought.

"She does eat them! I’ve seen her eating them!" Gao Zhaocheng became so agitated his face turned red.

Ignoring the quarreling pair, Tao Zhijie picked out bayberries and then went to select cantaloupes.

"What are you buying cantaloupes for, buy the Beauty variety instead," Yu Xuexian decided to go his own way and embrace the Beauty melons.

Each of the seniors vied to become Teacher Lu’s confidant. Xie Wanying watched, not daring to interject. Her phone buzzed. Someone’s calling.

"Yingying," came Cao Yong’s inquiring voice, "are you going to Teacher Lu’s house?"

"Yes, Senior Brother, we are shopping. Do you want to buy something for Teacher Lu? I can bring it for you since I’m at the supermarket," Xie Wanying replied.

"You went to the supermarket?" Cao Yong sensed something amiss.

"Senior Tao drove us here. Senior Gao and Senior Yu are also here."

"Oh."

Hearing Senior Cao’s response, Xie Wanying surmised that he must have guessed the contentious atmosphere here. She then heard Senior Cao kindly telling her, "Let them say what they will; you don’t have to listen to them about what Teacher Lu likes."

In other words, none of these three actually had a firm grasp on what Teacher Lu liked to eat, Xie Wanying pondered in her heart.

"Yingying, can you bring a pack of plum candy for Teacher Lu for me?" Cao Yong knew she was smart, chuckled, and instructed her.

Hearing this, Xie Wanying immediately turned to find the plum candy: "Senior Cao, if there’s anything you need me to do, just say it." She often troubled Cao Yong, so now she had to seize the opportunity to repay him.

"There is something. You help me buy the candy, and when I treat you to a meal later, don’t refuse."

This?! Xie Wanying suddenly realized she was really a little fool.

"Have a good dinner with Teacher Lu tonight, no need to feel pressured; Teacher Lu is very nice," Cao Yong whispered to her, implying that whoever burdened her with tasks not fitting for a student was in the wrong.

Senior Cao is really nice. Seeing that the seniors had finished shopping and were checking out, Xie Wanying followed to the cashier.

Since Song Xueling had already queued up, they didn’t have to wait, and placed all their items on the cashier counter.

The cashier wielded the scanner, beep beep beep, and with each scan, the screen displayed the price of the items, calculating the total. Xie Wanying and Song Xueling started to bag the items. The seniors seemed to have their own concerns.

Tao Zhijie suddenly received a phone call.

Gao Zhaocheng had a sudden inspiration that the teacher needed to replenish her nutrients, so he dashed back to grab some milk.

"The total is one hundred and seven yuan," the cashier announced.

Xie Wanying took advantage of everyone’s distraction to quickly reach for her wallet and handed two hundred yuan to the cashier.

"Add this!" Yu Xuexian, holding the Beauty, rushed up.

Gao Zhaocheng put his milk on the cashier counter.

"And add these two, the total is one hundred twenty-seven yuan and eighty cents," the cashier said while making change for the two-hundred-yuan bill.
