Chapter 486: Chapter 487: Even Lovers Will Do

It wasn’t long before Brother Qing walked in and gave Chen Zixu a look, suggesting he wanted to speak with Chen Zixu in private.

However, Chen Zixu stared back with wide eyes and said, "How did it go?"

His cousin immediately realized that Chen Zixu was insisting he speak frankly, which implied that Chen Zixu’s relationship with Brother Song had grown exceptionally close.

"Brother Song, Brother Xu, I gave that punk Zhao Lin another beating, and then he agreed—he’ll cough up a million to soothe the nerves of Brother Song’s little girlfriend."

Lin Su’er’s friends’ eyes went wide, stunned. There had been a conflict, and Song Xiaodong had beaten the guy up, and now they actually had to compensate Song Xiaodong with a million yuan—this was just outrageous.

To their surprise, Chen Zixu glared and exclaimed, "Damn it, just one million? Does he think he’s fobbing off a beggar?"

Brother Qing jumped at that, about to speak, when Song Xiaodong waved his hand and said, "Alright, that’s enough. People like him aren’t worth my time."

It was then that Chen Zixu said, "Hmph, that little punk got off easy. If it weren’t for Brother Song being so magnanimous, I’d have killed him myself."

Brother Qing nodded repeatedly, then added, "This incident happened in my hotel, which means I’ve offended Brother Song. Here are ten cards, each with ten thousand yuan in it. I know it’s not a lot of money, and Brother Song won’t even blink an eye at it, but you could give them to friends or something. Consider it a little token of my apology, and I hope Brother Song will kindly accept."

Song Xiaodong nodded and responded, "Hmm, that should suffice. Zi Xu, you guys can leave now. We’ve not finished eating."

Chen Zixu hastily said, "It’s all that bastard’s fault, ruining Brother Song’s appetite."

Brother Qing immediately offered, "I’ll have a new table prepared right away."

After Chen Zixu and Brother Qing had left, the waitstaff immediately came in to clear the table and cleaned up the room. Then, new dishes were served as quickly as if water was flowing; the hotel’s entire kitchen must have been preparing them, otherwise they would not have been served so promptly.

Song Xiaoru picked up the cards left by Brother Qing and said, "Su’er, take these cards and divide them up among your friends."

Lin Su’er quickly agreed, taking the cards and giving two to each of her friends.

Yao Juan, holding the cards, stammered, "These... these cards are for us? And two each?"

The other friends also blushed, having heard each card contained ten thousand yuan, and two cards meant twenty thousand yuan. Even though they couldn’t withdraw cash, they could still spend it there, which was nearly as good as money. They couldn’t help but be overjoyed, as these gifts were given to them so casually.

Song Xiaoru smiled faintly and said, "Su’er is our friend, and since you are her colleagues, I hope you’ll look after Su’er in the future."

The friends eagerly agreed, now aware of how close Lin Su’er was to Doctor Song. Given that Doctor Song was clearly influential, word would get around the hospital, and no one would dare to bully Lin Su’er. They were more than happy to ingratiate themselves.

After expressing their utmost gratitude, Lin Su’er’s friends stashed the cards away. In the future, they could come to this place, swipe the card to eat without paying a dime, and the prestige of showing off the card was probably the most delightful part.

More than an hour later, everyone finished their meal and left the hotel together. Brother Qing personally escorted them to the entrance, leaving Lin Su’er’s friends feeling somewhat elated. What was meant to be just a simple dinner—and one where Su’er almost faced bullying—had turned into an almost dreamlike sequence of events.

"Su’er, would you like to stay at our place tonight?" Song Xiaoru asked Lin Su’er.

Lin Su’er couldn’t help but feel a little nervous and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Sister Xiaoru, but there’s no need, I’ll come over to your place in a few days."

"Alright, just be careful when you go out," Song Xiaoru nodded.

Lin Su’er and several girlfriends crammed into a taxi, all insisting on staying over at Lin Su’er’s house. They were too excited today and had to properly digest and celebrate; going straight home would be no fun at all.

Lin Su’er agreed to it.

Upon arriving at Lin Su’er’s house, the girls quickly washed up and then all squeezed onto Lin Su’er’s bed.

Then they chattered nonstop about what had happened that day, especially the other three who hadn’t seen what occurred in the bathroom. Yao Juan took the opportunity to animatedly retell the story.

"Eh, what’s this?" One girl accidentally found something under the pillow, and then suddenly her eyes widened as she exclaimed, "Condoms, Su’er, you actually have condoms at home, and there are several missing from the box!"

Lin Su’er’s face instantly flushed red, she stammered, trying to explain, but there was really nothing much to explain about such an object, it clearly meant that she had used these things.

"Su’er, you’ve actually been sneaking around with a boyfriend? Out with it, who is he?"

"Yeah, come on, spill it. You got a boyfriend and didn’t even tell us, isn’t that a bit mean of you?"

Lin Su’er bit her lip and said, "Okay, but my boyfriend isn’t here, he works out of town and can probably come back once a month."

Seeing Lin Su’er admit to it, the group wasn’t so curious anymore. At their age, most of them had had boyfriends, and having boyfriends usually meant they had already been to bed, so they didn’t think using condoms was something to be embarrassed about.

However, they were still worried about Lin Su’er’s long-distance relationship, since it was easy for the feelings to fade away, and in the end, it could be difficult to sustain.

"Ah, if only my boyfriend was Doctor Song." A girl suddenly shifted the topic to Song Xiaodong.

"You can stop dreaming. Doctor Song’s girlfriend is so beautiful, and she’s a big boss worth over a billion."

"Then I’ll just be Doctor Song’s mistress."

"As if Doctor Song would look your way. Among us, if anyone is qualified to be Doctor Song’s mistress, it’d be Lin Su’er."

Lin Su’er asked cautiously and subconsciously, "So excited about the idea of being Doctor Song’s mistress, huh?"

"Why wouldn’t we be? Doctor Song is so amazing, skilled in medicine, and has a wide network. Haven’t you seen how much Brother Xu and Brother Qing fawn over him? Even being Doctor Song’s mistress would mean a life of glory. It’s just a pity that he would never take a second look at me."

"Indeed, forget being a mistress, I’d be happy even for a one-night stand. Just the thought of Doctor Song doing it on top of me, ah, I can’t take it."

The girlfriends immediately burst into giggles and playful teasing, but at that moment Lin Su’er squinted her eyes, feeling an indescribable sense of happiness. Being Doctor Song’s mistress was something she feared others finding out about one day, worried they would look at her differently. Now, it seemed that at the very least, this was something her girlfriends envied. This made her heart feel a lot lighter.
