Chapter 87: A Special Gift For Teachers’ Day!
At noon, 11:30, Lu Cheng loaded several boxes into the trunk and then set off to pick someone up.
Chen Song and Tong Yuan’an were in different buildings of the same residential area, so he could pick them both up in one trip.
Chen Song and Tong Yuan’an did not have regular night shifts. After a single day shift, they had a full day off, essentially working eight hours and then resting for forty hours, feeling invigorated.
There were no emergency cases of severed limbs or fingers last night, so Tong Yuan’an also slept well.
After Lu Cheng sent a message in advance, the two of them gathered at Tong Yuan’an’s house to drink tea and eat fruit pie.
When Lu Cheng knocked on the door, Tong Yuan’an was shouting, “Zhao Xin, why don’t you go back and reincarnate? What kind of move did you just make?”
The door was a keypad lock, which Lu Cheng opened himself with the code.
Upon pushing the door open, he saw the two professors sprawled on the sofa, grumbling. Seeing this, Lu Cheng didn’t interrupt and first confirmed that the private room he had booked was still reserved…
“Xiao Lu, there’s coffee, help yourself. We’ll probably surrender this game soon,” Tong Yuan’an called out.
“Ah, okay, Teacher Tong,” Lu Cheng replied.
About ten minutes later, Tong Yuan’an changed from his pajamas into shorts, slippers, and a loose short-sleeved T-shirt, swaggering with his backside.
“Let’s go, qufa!” Tong Yuan’an pointed towards the door.
“Hey, Teacher Tong, I’ve already booked the seats, we just need to go there and order food on the spot.”
“We’re going to the place you’ve been to before, Teacher Tong, the one with good ambiance, by the river,” Lu Cheng told Tong Yuan’an.
Chen Song’s eyes lit up instantly and he said, “Oh, their free-range chicken is good.”
After speaking, Chen Song patted Lu Cheng’s shoulder, snorted, and said, “Xiao Lu, do you know the rule for Teachers’ Day is that the boss treats?”
Lu Cheng, leading the way, turned back when he heard this, his expression slightly stiff.
“I didn’t know before, but now that I’ve told you, you know too,” Chen Song said.
Tong Yuan’an’s chubby mouth twitched as he looked at Lu Cheng and then at Chen Song, “Is this really not your half-brother?”
Lu Cheng was too old to be Chen Song’s illegitimate son, but he could be Chen’s “original sin”!
Chen Song punched Tong Yuan’an, “Watch your mouth, my old man didn’t provoke you.”
Tong Yuan’an smacked his lips twice, “Just kidding!”
Lu Cheng said, “Teacher Chen, how about I treat then? After all, you are guests.”
“Then teach me something,” Chen Song arrogantly tilted his chin, reaching out to touch the back of Lu Cheng’s head.
Looking at Tong Yuan’an, he said, “A bit rebellious, but not too much!”
Tong Yuan’an laughed heartily and said, “In a few years, it might be even more pronounced, as bone protrusion can expand with age and ambition.”
Lu Cheng smiled and changed the subject, “Teachers, it just so happens that I have a very special gift for you. It’s a sincere gesture, not necessarily an expensive gift.”
As Lu Cheng spoke, he walked to the car and opened the trunk.
After the trunk was lifted, two gift boxes stood side by side. One was taller, and the other was smaller.
“Whose is whose?” Tong Yuan’an asked, crossing his arms and pointing at the two boxes.
“The small one is for you, Teacher Tong, and the big one is for Teacher Chen,” Lu Cheng replied.
Chen Song raised his chin again, then stepped forward to pick up the box, saying sarcastically, “It’s not like I haven’t been to the bathroom before, just admit you’re small, it’s fine, you already have a kid…”
“Ouch!” Chen Song exclaimed, his gluteal muscles tightening. He turned, “Are you for real?”
Tong Yuan’an said in an extremely exaggerated tone, “Oh, you damn scoundrel, if you play such a joke again next time, I swear to God, I will use my pointed leather shoes to kick your asshole…”
Chen Song ignored Tong Yuan’an, opened the box, and inside was a cream cake that looked as if it had been nibbled by ants.
In the center of the cake was a V-neck style!
At first glance, Chen Song was stunned!
What the hell is this? You give me a used cake as a gift?
Is the sincerity too obvious? Or, you simply don’t consider me human and are just fooling me!
He turned his head to look at Lu Cheng, but Lu Cheng had a naive smile, his expression sincere and cute, not like someone playing a prank.
Chen Song turned back again, and then, as if remembering something, quickly closed the lid of the box, and began to count the pits where ‘ants’ had bitten, meticulously counting the size of the holes.
“Hemostasis. You need to perform at least 60 precise electrocoagulation hemostatic operations on curved surfaces within one minute, with a hemostatic error rate of less than 4. Hemostasis diameter: 3mm.”
“Hemostasis. You need to perform at least 60 precise electrocoagulation hemostatic operations on curved surfaces within one minute, with a hemostatic error rate of less than 4. Hemostasis diameter: 2mm.”
“Hemostasis. You need to perform at least 70 precise electrocoagulation hemostatic operations within one minute, with a hemostatic error rate of less than 4. Depth operation: 3cm, Hemostasis diameter: 2mm.”
“A cream cake is best for practicing…”
The more Chen Song counted, the more meticulous his expression became.
Then, after counting about half, he knew Lu Cheng wasn’t the type to try and curry favor by shortchanging things. He withdrew his hand, stood up, and sized Lu Cheng up.
“Significant progress?” he said cautiously, speaking in riddles.
“Mhm!” Lu Cheng nodded sincerely, his eyes clear, “I just want to thank Teacher Chen for his guidance and teaching, every word a gem, I wish I could remember it all and keep it all in my hands.”
Then, Lu Cheng said, “So, Teacher Chen, please let me treat you to a meal.”
Lu Cheng’s voice was not loud, but anyone could hear the earnest sincerity in it.
Chen Song was stunned and didn’t reply. After thinking for a moment, he re-covered the box and said, “Xiao Lu, you should go get a Master’s degree.”
“I’ll ask Director Xiang to get you a special admission spot for a direct doctorate, a professional doctorate, and I’ll definitely allow you to graduate early.”
Seeing Chen Song make such a bold promise, Tong Yuan’an immediately scoffed, “Chen Song, you can’t do that at all, he’s thirty!”
“Given his age, he’d have to go through an exceptional recruitment path. To be exceptionally admitted, not only does the school have to agree, but you’d also have to personally find special approval from the provincial education department and have multiple peer experts from outside departments conduct professional qualification reviews.”
“If you can’t handle it, don’t dangle bait to tease people, these are not resources you control!”
After speaking, Tong Yuan’an opened his small box.
Inside was an iron cage.
In the iron cage was a mouse!
And only one mouse.
Tong Yuan’an was also a bit taken aback at first, but considering it was Lu Cheng’s sincere gesture, he immediately understood that Lu Cheng was demonstrating his basic skills…
He immediately went to count the suture scars on the mouse’s tail.
Indeed, there was more than one suturing mark.
The naked mouse’s tail had been severed and re-sutured in two or three sections, and the tail was still alive!
After Tong Yuan’an saw this, he immediately turned around and grabbed Lu Cheng’s hand, “Lu Cheng, come here, listen to me, we’ll drive to Shashi City… we’ll leave right now…”
“What Chen Song, that idiot can’t do, I can do. If I can’t do it, I’ll cut off two ounces of flesh from myself and give it to you. You come with me…”
Tong Yuan’an stopped speaking here, realizing his chubby chest had been fiercely grabbed by Chen Song’s lecherous hand!
And this guy had started twisting it!
Tong Yuan’an’s eyes widened, he started tiptoeing, getting higher and higher, his mouth contorting…
His voice trembling, “Don’t… don’t… let… hisss… let go.”
After Chen Song let go, Tong Yuan’an’s feet touched the ground. He clutched his chest with one hand and started cursing, “Chen Song, are you even human?!!!”
He raised one hand as if to hit him, clearly enraged.
“What did we agree on before? Huh? Look me in the eyes and speak!” Chen Song, like a cat person, blocked his hand and asked with a tilted head, arrogantly.
