"Instructor, you’ve been sitting here for so long, don’t you want to go out and move around?"
Seeing Yang Kang still sitting like a sculpture, Wu Bin couldn’t help but start asking.
Yang Kang simply said, "No need, if I want to move, I can just do it in this ward, no need to go out."
Is that even human talk?
Even prisoners get time to go out for a walk every day, right?
But Yang Kang was even denying himself that.
"Don’t you even want to use the restroom? I’ve seen you sitting here all day, aren’t you feeling uncomfortable not going to the restroom?"
Yang Kang’s expression remained cool.
"I haven’t drunk much water, so I don’t need to use the restroom. Plus, I can wait until you need to go and accompany you; that way, I can take care of you and handle my own restroom needs."
Oh my god!
That’s just sick!
Were you previously handling cash-in-transit, with such detailed and meticulous security work?
As Wu Bin wondered how to continue communicating with Yang Kang, a phone call from Xu Wenyao came through.
"How’s it going, Wu Bin, I heard you’re back in the hospital? I sent Yang Kang to see you right away, is everything okay now?"
"If anything happens in the hospital, just tell Yang Kang, don’t be polite with him. If he can’t solve it, you can call me directly, and I’ll handle it."
Upon hearing Xu Wenyao say this, Wu Bin got frustrated.
Doesn’t he realize that Yang Kang is my biggest problem right now?
Wu Bin walked to the window with the phone, lowered his voice and said, "President, do you know the instructor just went through a breakup?"
"I know," Xu Wenyao said assertively. "I thought since Yang Kang just broke up and is in a bad mood, it would be good for him to stay with you so you can comfort each other."
Wu Bin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
"It’s not that, Principal Xu. The problem is the instructor is obsessed! He’s right beside my bed now, he follows me even to the restroom. School’s on break, if he keeps following me around like this, am I even supposed to get my own things done?"
Xu Wenyao incomprehensibly responded, "Just do what you need to do. He won’t stop you; he’s just ensuring your safety, preventing you from doing anything dangerous."
"He doesn’t have any other relatives in this city, just a girlfriend who you ended up messing things up with. Just let him follow you for a while."
Wu Bin was infuriated.
What does he mean by ’just a girlfriend whom you ended up messing things up with’?
I did nothing wrong; I’m just being a normal, ordinary student!
"No, Xu, could you maybe transfer the instructor? If he keeps guarding me like this, I might go insane and something might happen for which you would be responsible."
Xu Wenyao was taken aback by Wu Bin’s words.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "If you really dislike him that much, then here’s what we’ll do: find a chance to slip away later, and then I’ll call him and send him on a task. We’ll execute first and inform later."
Upon hearing Xu Wenyao say this, Wu Bin knew that even Xu didn’t have a good solution for handling Yang Kang; otherwise, he wouldn’t have to resort to executing first and informing later.
But after some thought, that seemed like the only option.
"Alright, I’ll follow your plan. Keep an eye on my livestream, and once I slip away, give him a call."
After settling the plan with Xu Wenyao, Wu Bin hung up the phone and deliberately started moving around in the ward.
Yang Kang’s eyes were fixed on Wu Bin as he frowned and said, "Didn’t the doctor say it’s best for you to rest in bed?"
Wu Bin smiled and replied, "I can’t lie down all the time, or my back won’t take it. Instructor, I need to use the restroom. Shall we go together?"
Seeing Wu Bin initiate the invite, Yang Kang let his guard down and followed Wu Bin to the restroom.
It was a private bathroom with a single urinal and a separate stall.
As soon as Wu Bin entered, he occupied the urinal, leaving Yang Kang no choice but to use the stall.
After hearing Yang Kang unzip and start urinating, Wu Bin, who had not intended to urinate, took off running.
"Wu Bin, where are you going? Stop right there!"
Yang Kang heard the sounds of Wu Bin’s escape, but since he was mid-pee, even faced with a major issue, he had to finish.
After running out of the ward, Wu Bin quickly gestured to Bingbing, who was waiting outside.
"Quick, quick, quick, get in the car!"
"Don’t let the photographer shoot outside the window; we might be spotted!"
The viewers in the live broadcast saw Wu Bin dashing out of the ward so hurriedly and took a moment to react.
"What’s up with Brother Wu? Why is he running like that?"
"Do you even have to ask? It’s definitely to avoid the instructor. Wouldn’t you also not want the instructor tagging along all day during a rare vacation?"
"The instructor really has it tough, though. If he doesn’t follow, Brother Wu might face danger. If he does, Brother Wu can’t stand it. It’s a real dilemma."
"Actually, Instructor Yang just hasn’t gotten over the shadow of his breakup yet. Once he figures things out, he won’t keep following Brother Wu."
Wu Bin anxiously glanced at the back of the car to ensure Yang Kang hadn’t followed, then he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Bingbing, puzzled, asked, "Why do we need to avoid Instructor Yang? He’s just concerned about you, and I don’t think his presence is problematic?"
Wu Bin shook his head and said, "It’s completely different. An instructor, no matter what, is like a teacher. If you have a teacher around all day, many things become inconvenient and constrained."
Bingbing thought about it and indeed found the reasoning sound.
Without Yang Kang by Wu Bin’s side, Wu Bin could handle any issue by himself and take responsibility for it.
But once Yang Kang was with him, as an instructor, he had the duty and obligation to ensure Wu Bin’s safety and keep him away from danger.
Then there would be many things they couldn’t do, and it would become very troublesome.
"So, where are we heading next?"
Just as Bingbing finished speaking, Zhu Ling, who was sitting nearby, took the initiative to say, "Let’s go eat something! Seafood!"
Wu Bin playfully slapped Zhu Ling on the head.
"All you think about is eating, and now you want seafood?"
"Do you know how expensive seafood is nowadays? If you eat seafood every day, do you want to bankrupt me?"
Wu Bin realized that Zhu Ling was becoming increasingly harder to fool.
Before, a bag of chips would keep her quiet all day.
Now that she had tried various stir-fries and seafood, ordinary snacks no longer satisfied her.
Zhu Ling pouted and said, "Okay, no seafood then, but I still want barbeque. I want grilled lamb leg!"
Just as Wu Bin was about to speak, his phone started ringing.
