Chapter 980: 【980】Two unruly students tease the teacher

Teacher Lu was taken aback by her words, "Is she going to have a demonstration surgery?"

"She’s applying. On one hand, her condition is rather unique. On the other, her financial situation is quite poor, and I don’t know if the hospital would be willing to cover part of the medical expenses for a patient undergoing a demonstration surgery." Xie Wanying revealed her plans.

Teacher Lu’s eyes softened with a hint of a smile at Xie Wanying: The child is really good to her patients.

"What exactly is a demonstration surgery?" Zhang Shuping, a medical student eager to learn about academic conferences, asked his grandmother and senior students.

Seeing her grandson’s interest in the matter, Teacher Lu said, "If you have time off, I’ll see if I can take you to watch."

If the Boss of the pharmaceutical industry wanted to observe, which academic conference wouldn’t welcome him?

After the meal, Teacher Lu put on her reading glasses and carefully read through the patient’s medical record, word by word.

Xie Wanying and Song Xueling were in the kitchen, washing dishes for the teacher.

Suddenly, Teacher Lu’s voice came from outside, "Who bought the bayberry candy?"

Teacher Lu had discovered the two bags of bayberry candy that Xie Wanying had bought on behalf of Senior Cao among the gifts they brought.

"Senior Cao bought them for Teacher Lu," Xie Wanying answered truthfully, thinking that Teacher Lu must have asked her to buy the snack because she enjoyed it regularly.

Wrong.

The living room outside fell silent.

Xie Wanying, in the midst of washing dishes, suddenly realized that it wasn’t as simple as she thought. Senior Cao buying bayberries was completely different from other seniors buying fruits and milk for the teacher.

"This Cao Yong." Teacher Lu frowned, tore open the bayberry candy wrapper, took one out, and popped it into her mouth, beginning to chew.

Seeing his grandmother growing silent with frustration, Zhang Shuping standing on the side couldn’t help swallowing hard.

"Do you want some?" Turning to see her grandson salivating over the bayberry candy, Teacher Lu frowned again. Then, she noticed the bayberries and wondered who had bought them—whether it was because bayberries were in season and delicious, or if there was a deeper meaning behind the gift, similar to the person who bought the bayberry candy.

Don’t comfort yourself with false hope. This is something she and her husband often mentioned to their students. As a doctor, you must be realistic, and not use unrealistic fantasies to comfort yourself or your patients.

And yet, as a teacher, she found herself being admonished with her own advice. Annoyed, Teacher Lu chewed the bayberry candy aggressively with her teeth.

Once Xie Wanying and Song Xueling finished washing the dishes and saw the teacher’s expression, they could only think: Senior Cao is incredibly bold, it seems like a bag of bayberry candy is about to break Teacher Lu’s defenses.

"Eat some melon," Teacher Lu instructed them to cut up some sweet melon for snacking. She kept the bayberries and bayberry candy for herself.

Following his grandmother’s command, Zhang Shuping carried the melon into the kitchen, sliced it, and served it to the guests.

The doorbell rang. Xie Wanying went to help Teacher Lu open the door.

It was Dai Ronghong and Xia Dongxian who came knocking.

"What are you two doing here?" Teacher Lu asked with suspicion.

"We just finished eating and thought we’d drop by for a visit," Dai Ronghong said, glancing at the two juniors seated in Teacher Lu’s home, her eyes probing: How well did you communicate with the teacher?

Perhaps because she was angry about something else, Teacher Lu suddenly asked the two newcomers, "Would you like some bayberry or bayberry candy?"

Dai Ronghong and Xia Dongxian shrank their necks: Who was bold enough to tease the teacher like this?!

After all, Teacher Lu’s riddle was indeed a tough nut to crack.
