"Could you go to Beijing for my master?" Song Xiaodong asked.
Lu Yaobing pondered on the other end of the phone, then asked, "Master, what are you going to Beijing for?"
"To help me buy some medicinal herbs," Song Xiaodong said.
"Oh... Master, I'm currently memorizing the Pharmacopoeia. Going to the herb wholesale market might broaden my horizons and maybe help with my final exams!" Song Xiaodong was embarrassed to ask, but Lu Yaobing was quite happy.
"Really? Does that mean you're willing to run the errand for me?" Song Xiaodong asked.
"Of course, Master, I'd be happy to!" Lu Yaobing answered without hesitation.
"Alright then, just remember this. Your Sister Xianling will go with you, and I'll get you a bodyguard," Song Xiaodong said.
"That's not necessary, Master..." Lu Yaobing was unwilling.
"It's not just for your protection; I need to protect my wife, your Sister Xianling, as well!" Song Xiaodong said.
"Oh... okay then."
