chapter 48

“I’m heading out to school . ”

“Oh, okay . Be safe!”

Su Ran was a bit surprised that Su Han greeted her before he took off .  

The two of them had been living together for a few days now but that seemed to be the first time he had greeted her on his way out .  

Perhaps, it was a habit that he carried over from when he was living with the original owner – that Su Han did not usually announce that he was on his way out to school . Besides, the majority of the time, Su Han would have been long gone by the time Su Ran woke up .  \n“Oh,” Su Han responded, a little surprised . He paused for a little after he finished putting his shoes on .  

“I cooked two eggs . I am bringing one with me; there’s one more left in the pot . Oh, and there’s a steamed bun too .  

As she didn’t know how to cook and felt that having take out all the time was very unhealthy, Su Ran’s solution was to stockpile a lot of steamed buns, noodles, and eggs, etc . inside of the refrigerator .  

It seemed to have become a habit as of late . When Su Han made his own breakfast in the morning, he’d also prepare Su Ran’s .  

“Oh, okay . Thanks, son!” Su Ran nodded and smiled at Su Han who was looking at her coldly .  

Hearing the word “son” coming from Su Ran made Su Han feel particularly awkward . There was a burning sensation at the tips of his ears .  

“Um…”

“Hmm?” Looking at Su Han, who obviously had something he wanted to say, Su Ran didn’t say anything . She just blinked and looked at Su Han with her eyes beaming .  \nUnfortunately, as much as Su Ran had stared so much that her eyes had turned dry, she still didn’t hear what it was that Su Han was going to say .  

“I’m taking off,” Su Han dryly said before taking his backpack and leaving .

“PFFFT . ” Su Ran finally couldn't help but laugh out loud when the door closed .

Haha, that awkward little kid . He should have just asked if he wanted her to go to the parent-teacher conference . It wasn’t like she’d embarrass him or anything .

Su Ran smiled to herself .  

After Su Han had left, Su Ran, too, picked up her purse and got ready to leave after she had tidied up a little around the house .  

She even put on some light makeup before she left the apartment .  \nRight after she had walked out, Su Ran ran into Wang-jie next door along with DaBao’s grandma from upstairs . They were coming home with bags of groceries in their hands .  

“Yo, Xiao Su . You look so pretty today . Where are you heading out to?”

Ever since Su Ran had given away two large bags of fish and shrimp, her neighbors no longer avoided her like a plague .  

“I am going to Su Han’s parent-teacher conference,” said Su Ran with a smile .  

“Oooh, the parent-teacher conference,” said DaBao’s grandma . “Su Han is in junior high school, right?”

“He is, indeed . ”

“That’s good . Su Han seems to be a very mature child . ”

“I agree . Not like my Da Bao at all . ”

“Da Bao is still at the playful age . It’s good that he’s outgoing . ”

“Meh, not really . ”

“I’m not just saying it . They say that outgoing kids are the smart kids . ”

“Oh, hahaha, right . ”

Su Ran felt that after living here for a few days, there had been marked improvement in her EQ that she had always lacked .  

Just look at how happy she managed to make DaBao’s grandma with her empty words .  

Seeing that Su Ran was about to leave, DaBao’s grandma shoved a few oranges into her purse .
