She even bartered with the shop owner to drop the price by 200 yuan and was about to place her order today, and now it was all for naught . Â
Su Ran was filled with the feelings of regret and her face dropped . Â
Over to her side, Su Han, who had no idea what was going through Su Ranâs mind, noticed that she looked very unhappy as she stared at her cellphone screen . Â
Her hand to her side was clenched into a fist; her eyes looking profound and she turned her head away from him stubbornly as though she didnât want him to see the look on her right now . Â
âItâs fine if you donât want to go,â said Su Han in a deep voice . It sounded throaty and stiff . \nThese activities were never all that meaningful anyway . Nor could he count on this woman to be able to contribute much . Â
Hearing Su Hanâs voice, Su Ran, who was still reading the list of things to pay special attention to, widened her eyes .
I beg your pardon?
âWho said we are not going?â
Even without her deluxe tent or state-of-the-art cooking equipment, she still has a professional-level outdoor survival kit, cool trekking pole with built-in light, 3L-size thermos, and the newest style cameo mother and son matching outfit!
âLook, Iâve already signed us up . âÂ
Su Ran showed Su Han her cellphone . Â
[Freshmen Class 8 Parents Chat Group]\nSu Hanâs Mother: @Teacher Wang . Sign us up for 2 . Â
âItâs trueâŠâ Su Hanâs eyes lit up when he saw what Su Ran had said within the parentsâ chat group . Then, as though he had noticed that he had let too much show, he turned away coolly and pretended that he was looking at the scenery . Â
âSince you have signed up already . I guess we will go then,â said Su Han . Â
As a 13-year-old boy, no matter how steady and indifferent he was pretending to be, he was not able to hide the excitement and happiness in his eyes . Â
âBut, itâs camping this time . Are you sure you can handle that?â asked Su Han again casually as he gave her a I-donât-think-you-will-be-okay look . Â
And, there was real worry in the bottom of his eyes . Â
After all, Su Ran was the one who had turned porridge into burnt rice at home before . Â
Su Han wasnât sure if he should worry for her or for himself . Â \nSu Ran: Must he point that out?
Putting up the tent? She had studied a few different sites yesterday on highlights on camping . And one of them talked about putting up a tent . Su Ran spent time studying it . Â
Unfortunately, the steps were very complicated . She even asked the shop owner on Taobao and she was still confused . Â
And it didnât look very easy to start a fire either . Â
As for cooking, hoho, that would depend on how kind were the ingredients provided by the school . Â
Su Ran turned her head casually to look over at Su Han . Â
He was just a tad shorter than her when she saw him a few weeks ago for the first time . Now he was already about the same height as her . Â
But, still a kid nonetheless . She couldnât wait for her little boy to grow into a man . Â
âWhat are you looking at?â Su Ranâs stare made Su Han uncomfortable .
âOh nothing . Just wondering when you are going to become the pillar of the family . â
âWhat do you mean by âwhenâ? I already am, alright?â There was a hint of pride on the young manâs face as he said that . Â
âOh yeah, you know how to put together a tent?â
âYes . â He could look for some tutorial videos when they got home . Â
âWhat about starting a fire?â
âWhatâs so difficult about that?â What were lighters for?
âCookingâŠâ Um, okay, Su Han knew how to cook . Albeit just simple items like hard-boiled eggs, noodles, steamed buns that required no technique whatsoever . Â
âOh, alright . Itâs all on you then,â said Su Ran as she patted Su Han on his shoulder as though she was assigning him some great responsibilities . Â
