Chapter 416: Chapter 417: New Self-Sufficiency Belt Up

Two hundred thousand! At this moment, all the students were stunned. Even though there were some children from rich families here, it was unrealistic for them to take out two hundred thousand.

Then Su Yawei turned his head to glance at Song Xiaodong, his eyes brimming with coldness, but he did not speak again. One hundred and ten thousand had already been a bold shout from him; if Song Xiaodong did not call out a bid, Su Yawei would not know how to settle the large sum of money.

The host asked three times more, and seeing that no one else spoke, he called Song Xiaodong onto the stage.

The host, with a smile, asked Song Xiaodong, "Fellow student, do you think it is worth it to spend so much money to bid for Shen Yue’s bra?"

Song Xiaodong smiled slightly and said, "It’s for charity, so it’s not about whether it’s worth it or not. My goal is just to do charity."

"Such a high level of awareness from this student! I truly must thank you on behalf of the children in the impoverished mountain areas. However, I have another question, a question I’m afraid everyone wants to know."

"Please ask," said Song Xiaodong, still smiling serenely.

"After buying this bra, do you plan on keeping it for your own collection, or will you return it to Shen Yue?"

Song Xiaodong’s gaze shifted toward Shen Yue, and he spoke in a very tender tone, "Both of the options you mentioned are incorrect."

The host asked curiously, "Oh? Do you have another choice?"

"Of course, I plan to put it on Shen Yue personally, ah."

The crowd fell silent for a few seconds, then came a wave of whistling and shouting. Putting the bra on Shen Yue would imply that Song Xiaodong and Shen Yue’s relationship had become closer than ever.

Shen Yue had not expected Song Xiaodong to say such a thing; her face turned red with embarrassment, especially under the gaze of those around her, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"Wait a second, he said he would pay two hundred thousand to bid, but he hasn’t paid yet. Who knows if he’s a swindler?" A male student next to Su Yawei shouted loudly.

"That’s right, don’t just pretend here. Maybe you don’t even have that much money at all, and then you end up deceiving all of us," another student chimed in.

Many people also started making noise, after all, a school beauty like Shen Yue, even if most people had no hope of getting close to her, were annoyed to see her end up with someone else.

At this point, the host was also somewhat embarrassed, having been too focused on the bra matter earlier. He quickly said, "Fellow student, two hundred thousand is not a small sum. How will you make the payment?"

Song Xiaodong smiled faintly and said, "I think you should have a dedicated account, right? I can just transfer the money now."

The host hurriedly had someone bring the account information, and Song Xiaodong transferred the two hundred thousand in a straightforward manner. After a few students confirmed that the funds had arrived, the host excitedly announced that the bid was successful, causing another sensation. Song Xiaodong had really spent two hundred thousand for a bra, which was indeed too wealthy.

Song Xiaodong received the bra handed to him by the host; the bra was in a transparent bag and had not been touched by others. Then he directly jumped off the stage and returned to Shen Yue’s side.

Holding up the bag in his hand, Song Xiaodong smiled and said, "Mission accomplished."

Shen Yue was hugely embarrassed, lowering her head and reproaching softly, "You’re too bad."

Li Yuting said with a giggle, "A bad guy is what a girl likes; it turns out Shen Yue, you have a thing for the bad boys. No wonder none of our schoolmates have been successful in pursuing you, they just aren’t bad enough."

Liu Feiyan also chimed in with a giggle, "Yeah, yeah, so does that mean we should pair you up now?"

Shen Yue felt even more embarrassed and stomped her foot hard, then hit Song Xiaodong, complaining, "Brother Dongzi, it’s all your fault. Now everyone is going to laugh at me."

Song Xiaodong laughed and said, "Let them laugh, it’s not a bad thing, nor something to be ashamed of."

"You’re still talking." Shen Yue hit Song Xiaodong again and abruptly pounced onto him, burying her face in his chest, to avoid seeing the peculiar looks from others.

Song Xiaodong laughed as he wrapped his arms around Shen Yue’s shoulders and said, "Shall we get going then?"

Shen Yue hurriedly agreed, eager to leave this place.

Just as the two of them were about to leave, the newly rich Wang Mo squeezed through the crowd and said with a grin, "Buddy, I thought I was quite the spender, but I had no idea you were the real deal. I’m impressed, really impressed."

Song Xiaodong laughed and said, "Just average."

"Hey, are you interested in the next item? I mean, I have money, but my monthly allowance is just around a hundred thousand or so, not as much as you throw around. If you’re bidding, I won’t compete; it would be too embarrassing."

Song Xiaodong laughed and said, "Go ahead and bid; I’ll hold back."

Wang Mo rubbed his hands together with excitement and said, "Alright, watch me take down the competition. I’m going to collect the items from the other four school beauties. Gotta get them all, right?"

Song Xiaodong nodded and replied, "Of course you’ve got to."

With this guy’s arrival, Song Xiaodong wasn’t able to leave directly. He watched as the guy fiercely bid and quickly won the items from three school beauties, looking extremely pleased with himself.

What left Song Xiaodong speechless was the fact that one of these school beauties, known for being very open, had auctioned off her panties that she had worn for half a day.

Wang Mo, this guy, took them out of the bag right in front of Song Xiaodong, even brought them up to his nose to sniff, making Song Xiaodong want to kick him flying.

"Now, we’ll auction the last item, belonging to our top school beauty Feng Kexin. It’s a personal item that she has worn since she was a child."

Everyone excitedly turned their attention to the object in the auctioneer’s hand, and Song Xiaodong also glanced at it casually. But upon that glance, his expression immediately changed, and he looked more carefully.

Although the item was far away, its image was projected onto the screen behind the auctioneer, allowing Song Xiaodong to make out what it was; it appeared to be a round token with a special pattern.

The round token was completely black and the material was indistinguishable, engraved with a lifelike dragon, just like the one Song Xiaodong had found at home.

When Song Xiaodong first discovered the token at home, even though it seemed special, he hadn’t known what it was for and had simply put it aside without another thought. Now that he saw another token just like it, he suddenly wanted to get in touch with the owner; perhaps he could find something very special about it.

I’ve been coughing all night, so miserable, ahh!
