Chapter 429 Digging a Hole

Boss Su nodded.

He started this whole thing, and he should explain it clearly to Professor Song.

After dinner, Wang Jun accompanied Boss Su to find Director Song.

When Director Song heard his purpose, he smiled kindly and said, "Your senior brother is right. I am getting old and originally did not plan to take on any more graduate students. I took you on because someone recommended you to me, saying that you are very similar to me, that you are an exceptionally outstanding person, and that I should mentor you for a few years so that you can be of great use in the future. That's why I interviewed you."

He added, “...You don’t need to be in a difficult position. Your brother does have a talent for math, but I knew about him when he first enrolled. I investigated him all the way from elementary school to his special admission. I know everything he did. I didn’t choose him because he was really not suitable. I didn’t accept him then, and I won’t accept him in the future.”

Su Laoda opened his eyes slightly and looked at his teacher.

Director Song smiled and said, "So, the problem you're worried about doesn't exist. I don't plan to take on any more students after you."

Wang Jun slapped his head and exclaimed in disbelief.

"Goodness, this kid almost knocked me out of the perfect teacher position!"

Director Song smiled.

Wang Jun shook his head, "Terrible, luckily Su Yushun is a bad person..."

Halfway through his sentence, he caught a glimpse of Su Laoda out of the corner of his eye and realized it was inappropriate to speak of someone's own brother like that. He quickly stopped, coughed twice, patted Su Laoda's shoulder, and advised, "...See, I wasn't wrong. The teacher never intended to take on any more students, so you don't need to worry about him. Let him do whatever he wants..."

While feeling relieved, Su Laoda was also a little sad. If Xiao Si knew why he missed the opportunity he had been dreaming of, would he reflect on it?

But I also know clearly that he probably won't.

Like their fathers, if others fail to meet their needs, they will most likely shift the blame to others.

Su sighed inwardly, his eyes full of apology, "...I'm afraid he'll use my name to get close to the senior brothers and sisters, ruining...your good reputation."

He knew his younger brother's thoughts and character all too well.

"Teacher, I'm going to talk to him and make things clear so he won't harass the senior students anymore..."

He bowed respectfully to Director Song and turned to leave.

"Why……"

Wang Jun frowned slightly and looked at Director Song, "Teacher."

Director Song shook his head, "Eleven, don't rush."

Boss Su stopped and turned to look at Director Song.

"You're not suited to go. There are some things you might say that your younger brother might not listen to. Let your senior brother go, Tenth Brother..."

Director Song glanced at Wang Jun.

Wang Jun nodded and patted Su Laoda's shoulder with a smile, "Teacher is right. It's more appropriate for me to go than for you to go. We all know about what happened between you and your brother. If you go to him, it might worsen your relationship. If you push him too far, he might do something irreversible that could affect you. That would be a loss!"

What Wang Jun really wanted to say was that it wasn't worth ruining his future for such a rotten person.

But he changed his mind as soon as he said it. No matter how bad he was, Su Yushun was still the eleventh junior brother's younger brother. It was inappropriate to say such a thing about him.

“…Don’t say a word then. Leave this entirely to your senior brother. I guarantee he’ll keep his head down and avoid us whenever he sees us,” Wang Jun said.

Su was a little embarrassed, "Xiao Si is my younger brother. Asking my senior brother to stand up for me, this..."

"What's wrong with that?!"

Wang Jun laughed heartily, put his arm around Su Laoda's shoulder, and said in a carefree and unrestrained manner, "We are fellow disciples. Once we enter the sect, we are brothers for life. What is a senior brother? He is your elder brother. When something happens, an elder brother will help you. Isn't it only natural for him to stand up for his junior brother? Don't feel guilty. Listen to the teacher and your senior brother. From now on, you should follow the teacher and study hard. Don't disgrace the reputation of the teacher and his wife, understand?"

"……yes."

Su Laoda was deeply moved by Wang Jun's words, feeling a surge of passion like waves crashing against rocks, and a sense of unreality washed over him.

He's been the big brother for over twenty years...

His mother is usually busy with work. In order to earn money to support them, she not only works but also tries to earn extra money in her spare time. She is busy every day.

He took on the responsibility of caring for his younger siblings.

He thought that if he took good care of his younger siblings, his mother would have an easier time.

He felt so sorry for his mother; ever since he could remember, he had never seen her have a moment of leisure.

His mother was still busy when they went to sleep, but when they woke up, she had already prepared breakfast and done a lot of other things.

When he was a few years older, he began to ignore his own desires and put his younger siblings' needs first, always thinking of putting them first in everything...

This was the first time someone had stood in front of him as his older brother!

It was a feeling he couldn't describe, a feeling that warmed his heart and brought tears to his eyes.

Su took a deep breath, his lips trembled slightly, and gave Wang Jun a smile that shimmered with tears. "Thank you, senior brother. Thank you, teacher."

Wang Jun sighed and patted him on the shoulder, "You rascal..."

The next day, Su Xiaosi came over with a smile, carrying two lunchboxes. She said she had caught loaches outside and had them cooked to bring to the senior students as an extra meal.

Seeing Boss Su with the others, he paused for a moment, then smiled and called out, "Big Brother, you're here too, come and have a taste."

Wang Jun accepted it with a smile, thanked him, and gave him the money.

"Why are you being so polite with me, Senior Wang? This isn't worth much; it's just a token of my appreciation. The seniors have been taking good care of me these past few days..."

"Junior student..."

Wang Jun interrupted him, stuffed the money into his hand, and said, "Don't come looking for us again. It's not a good thing."

Su Xiaosi's smile froze, her eyes darkened, and she glanced at Su Laoda.

A sinister glint flashed across his eyes.

In an instant, his smile returned, and he asked Wang Jun, "What's wrong, senior? Did... did my older brother say something about me in front of you guys?"

"...No, you're overthinking it."

Wang Jun kept staring at him. Although the sinister look in his eyes was fleeting, Wang Jun still noticed it.

He could hardly believe it; that was Su Yushun's older brother. How dare he look at his brother like that?!

Eleventh junior brother has raised a thankless wretch.

Su Xiaosi didn't believe her. Her eyes reddened, and she choked up, "I... I was too childish and immature before. I said things without thinking and did things that I shouldn't have. I made you angry, brother. I've already apologized to you, right, brother?"

As he finished speaking, he looked up at Boss Su with his bloodshot eyes.

He had an attitude that said, "I already know I was wrong and I've said I'll change, what more do you want from me?" and his eyes carried a subtle provocation.

It's as if it's saying, "Brother, if you're so capable, then destroy me."

Boss Su stared at his face, unable to contain his disappointment, "Little Fourth..."

"Your older brother didn't say anything."

Wang Jun looked surprised, seemingly not having heard Su Laoda speak, and called out to Su Xiaosi with a smile, "Why are you acting all wronged? It's just that a few of us felt that a math genius like you shouldn't be overlooked, so we were planning to ask if you wanted to apply for our Director Song's graduate program. If you don't want to, then just pretend I didn't say anything, and we'll continue to associate with each other as before..."

"I want to take the exam!"
