The forum seemed to have mentioned that some of the music institutions or high school would have some slots and that if you buy a certain brand of ice tea you could also enter into a drawing…
She wasn’t sure how much truth was in those.
“Well, join them if you want to,” said Su Han suddenly. Then, after a slight pause, he added, “The outcome doesn’t matter. I promise I won’t make fun of you.”
Not figuring out what Su Ran was stressed about, looking at Su Ran’s expression, Su Han guessed that she must be nervous.
Just like him when he attended some school competitions in the past. As much as he wouldn’t let it show, he was still somewhat nervous deep down inside.
After Su Han had said what he said trying to make Su Ran feel better, his words only made Su Ran busted out laughing.
“Ahahaha. You? Making fun of me?
“Don’t worry, I won’t let you have that chance.”
What Su Han had said made Su Ran made up her mind that she must get into these competitions. And, not only that, she would bring home prizes to show her son!
“Eh?” As she was talking, Su Ran saw something in Su Han’s hand. “What’s that in your hand?”
“Oh, this. Your package. It was dropped off at the security downstairs,” said Su Han while carrying the box in his hand.
He wondered what this woman had purchased this time. It felt somewhat heavy.
And, it specifically spelled out [Memo: Absolutely do not label items as books on the receipt] on the receipt. What was that all about?
“Ah. It arrived so quickly. I thought I’ll have to wait a few more days for it.” Su Ran’s eyes lit up as she looked at the box in Su Han’s hand.
Tossing aside her cellphone, she temporarily set aside matters regarding the competitions.
“Do you want me to open it up for you?” asked Su Han.
A while back Su Ran had purchased a bunch of items for the Quality Development Outing and the mother and son duo had been ripping opening boxes for days. They were now experts in opening up packages.
Seeing that the package was somewhat heavy, Su Han felt that it’s best he just opened it up for her.
“No! Stop!”
Su Han was just about to get started when he was stopped by a loud cry from Su Ran. Startled, he almost dropped the box onto the floor.
“What the matter?”
“Don’t open this one!
“I meant, let’s not open this one just yet.”
“Why not?” Su Han was baffled.
Who was the one who had view opening up packages as a great joy in life?
“Ugh. This package is problematic. I think they missed something when they shipped it. I was just about to contact the shipper. Neeways, just leave it as is for now,” said Su Ran.
Only Su Han would believe in Su Ran like that.
“Then let me bring it back downstairs for you so you can return it?”
“No! Just leave it here for now!”
You’ve got to be kidding. This was the surprise that she had prepared for her son. She couldn’t very well let Su Han return it.
“Just put it aside for now… yeah, just toss it over to that corner. I’ll take care of it after I’ve contacted the shipper. I won’t be needing your help with it.”
Hearing that and, once again gauging the weight of the package in his hand, Su Han frowned slightly.
Nevertheless, he finally listened to Su Ran and placed the box in the corner.
He could always help her bring it back downstairs should she need help.

That night, the mother and son were having dinner at the dinner table.
Finally, Su Han started to get this creepy feeling from being stared at by Su Ran.
“Why are you staring at me while you are eating dinner?” Su Han finally had enough and looked up and gave Su Ran a stare and a peculiar look.
“Eh? Was I looking at you?” asked Su Ran as she blinked at Su Han.
“Are you saying that you didn’t?”
“I didn’t.”
“Then what are you doing right now?”
“Looking at you.”
Was this woman just too nervous over the competitions or what?
Seeing how Su Han had turned red and speechless, Su Ran couldn’t help but smiled.
Teasing her son was still very fun.
Even though she was just teasing Su Han but Su Ran really wasn’t as happy as she tried to look.
Aye…
Su Ran sighed silently.
Looking at Su Han’s nose and brows… he looked a lot like that Lu Shao from earlier today. One could even say that he was his clone.
Especially the way that he talked, and that look of his. He couldn’t have been more similar to Lu Shao.
Exactly how blind was she that she had never noticed it before today after meeting Lu Shao so many times?
Perhaps that had just never occurred to her. That a customer of hers would have anything to do with her son.
“Su Han.” Su Han, who seemed to have looked away to ignore Su Ran suddenly heard his name called.
“Now what?” Su Han looked up impatiently.
Su Han was just wonder what else did that woman want but, when he looked up, he noticed that all of the teasing and light-heartedness from earlier was gone.
Su Han had a bad feeling all of a sudden.
What was up with this woman now?
Why was she looking at him so seriously and there was even some emotions in her eyes that he couldn’t quite interpret.
