Yan Keke said, "So from now on, our group meals are set here, okay? But there's one thing—I can cover your transport to get here after the event, but I won't pay for your ride back after dinner. There's a direct bus from here to the school, so heading back is convenient, but I don't know if you'd like that."
Yan Keke's point actually makes sense—covering one trip is enough, you can't expect both ways covered. If everyone's heading to different places, does that mean we need to pay for multiple trips? Even if you have money, that's not how you spend it. Plus, there really is a direct bus here, so it's not troublesome. If it really doesn't work, next time, we'll just eat at the school gate; going back will be convenient, too.
"Sure, I think it's fine. Just take the bus back ourselves, it's not like there isn't a direct route."
"I'm fine with it, too. The food is so delicious, it'd be worth walking home."
