Chapter 711: Chapter 712 Classmates

In the evening, after Song Xiaodong finished his shower and returned to the bedroom, Lin Su’er was sitting half-upright on the bed, holding her mobile phone with a smile on her face. Miao Xuanxuan and Xiao Yingying were on their periods these days, so they did not join the lively chat and were sleeping in their own rooms.

"What’s making you so happy?" Song Xiaodong climbed onto the bed and pulled Lin Su’er into his arms.

Leaning her head on Song Xiaodong’s shoulder and still holding her phone, Lin Su’er said, "I was chatting with two of my classmates. We’re just discussing plans to have dinner together tomorrow."

Song Xiaodong nodded and said, "Yeah, go have fun. I’m going to chat with Qingqing for a bit. You continue your chat."

A while later, Lin Su’er turned to Song Xiaodong and said, "Brother Dongzi, they insist on me bringing you to dinner. They want to meet you."

"Tomorrow evening... should be free. Then I’ll go with you. You suddenly coming here without a boyfriend seems a bit unreasonable."

"Are you sure you’re not busy? It’s just a meal, not a big deal."

Song Xiaodong replied, "A wife’s business is of course important, everything else is minor in comparison."

Lin Su’er’s face immediately lit up with a smile. "Mmm, but I didn’t tell them about your identity, I just mentioned that you work here."

Song Xiaodong nodded and said, "Fine, better not to say anything then. Otherwise, they might feel uncomfortable, which would make you uncomfortable as well."

"Brother Dongzi, then I’ll tell them that."

"Of course, you should tell them."

After a few more words, Lin Su’er put down her phone, and the couple lay down. Lin Su’er snuggled into Song Xiaodong’s embrace and said with a blushing face, "Brother Dongzi, it’s just me tonight, so please be gentle."

Song Xiaodong laughed heartily, "My little Su’er is so adorable. How could I resist?"

What followed was a room full of spring warmth, and it was a while before they settled down. Lin Su’er, face drenched with sweat, nestled beside Song Xiaodong, her chest heaving continuously. The feeling of floating up to heaven was truly enjoyable, but as wonderful as it was once or twice, after several times, her body couldn’t quite handle it.

"Woo... Brother Dongzi, you’re so bad. I asked you to be gentle, and you did this to me. I’m going to die," Lin Su’er playfully complained in Song Xiaodong’s arms and wriggled a little.

"Hehe," Song Xiaodong gave a satisfied chuckle, considering his woman’s complaints a great honor.

Lin Su’er whispered, "Next time, I dare not be with you alone. It’s better when I’m with Xuanxuan and the others."

"But when you’re with them, aren’t you always too shy?" Song Xiaodong teased her with a smile.

Lin Su’er with a flushed face said, "Yes, I am shy when I’m with them. But now I realize that’s the best way to be."

Song Xiaodong laughed proudly and said, "Then next time, you can’t always stay aside."

"I... I know," Lin Su’er said, her face red.

At around five o’clock the next afternoon, Song Xiaodong and Lin Su’er arrived at the agreed-upon restaurant. They had deliberately taken a taxi, as the cars in the Su Family Courtyard were symbols of the Su Family’s identity, which could easily be recognized by others, so it was better not to drive one.

As soon as the two got out of the car, a black Audi Q5 also stopped behind them, and several people got out of the vehicle.

"Lin Su’er!" Two youthful and beautiful girls quickly approached her.

"Zhao Rui, Song Qing!" Lin Su’er also hurriedly went up to them, and the three girls immediately hugged each other.

After a few giggles and chatter, Zhao Rui took the arm of the man who had driven and said, "Lin Su’er, let me introduce you, this is my boyfriend Zhou Pingqing, a doctor in the orthopedics department at our hospital."

Song Qing also took the arm of another man, and laughed, "Zhao Rui, you just have to show off your boyfriend everywhere, a doctor and with a wealthy family to boot, isn’t it enough for you to strut about?"

"I’m proud that I found such a boyfriend," Zhao Rui said proudly, chin lifted with pride. She was definitely happy, but didn’t have any intention of deliberately showing off or looking down on others.

However, her boyfriend Zhou Pingqing did seem quite smug, which gave off a somewhat arrogant air of youthful cockiness and disdain for others.

Song Qing chuckled and said, "Well, okay, but I’m afraid such a man wouldn’t fancy me, I’d rather find a more down-to-earth man. This is my boyfriend Yang Yong, just an ordinary worker, definitely nothing like Zhao Rui’s boyfriend."

Yang Yong simply chuckled and didn’t seem embarrassed by Song Qing’s introduction, clearly showing that he was a very honest and straightforward man.

Now that both had introduced their partners, Lin Su’er bashfully said, "This is my boyfriend Song Xiaodong." She didn’t mention anything about work.

Neither Zhao Rui nor Song Qing asked further. They had asked Lin Su’er the day before, and Lin Su’er had evaded the question, indicating that Song Xiaodong’s job was probably quite ordinary, which might be why she was embarrassed to mention it.

Zhao Rui and Song Qing were both quite attractive as well. If it weren’t for Lin Su’er setting the bar, they would definitely be considered beauties. The three of them together were indeed easy on the eyes.

"Let’s go, let’s head in and chat more leisurely," Zhou Pingqing spoke, and while walking into the restaurant, he said, "This restaurant is quite unique, though it doesn’t have a large facade or the luxury of a grand hotel, the chef is really famous, no less competent than those of five-star hotels. Today is on me, so please, don’t be shy—order whatever you want. Consider it my way of showing hospitality for Zhao Rui."

After they entered the private room and the waiter brought the menus, Zhao Rui said, "Lin Su’er, you’re our guest from afar, so you pick the dishes."

Lin Su’er quickly replied, "No need, I don’t know what to order either, you go ahead."

"Then let your boyfriend choose." Zhao Rui then handed the menu to Song Xiaodong.

Song Xiaodong, smiling, said, "I also don’t know what’s good here, you choose."

Zhou Pingqing laughed heartily and said, "Alright, then I’ll order. You guys chat, I promise you’ll be satisfied with the meal." Hearing Lin Su’er and Song Xiaodong speak like this, he had already assumed that they weren’t used to high-end places, and their modesty was just to avoid embarrassment. Little did he know that Song Xiaodong was speaking the absolute truth.

"By the way, Lin Su’er, have you and your boyfriend found work since you came here?" Song Qing asked.

Lin Su’er looked at Song Xiaodong and sweetly said, "I can only work at a hospital, and I guess it should be at the Minghe Second Hospital where you are now."

Song Qing replied, "Our hospital isn’t so easy to enter now, there have been a lot of people coming in through connections recently, and the company’s management has suddenly become very strict, not like before."

Zhou Pingqing added, "But it depends on who is making the request, right? Lin Su’er is your classmate, and I have quite a good relationship with the deputy director. If I put in a word, it might just work out."
