That was what had been on her mind lately. The qualifier was about to begin this week and the time period was long.
If she was to attend the qualifier, she would for sure have to miss Su Han’s birthday and the Quality Development Outing.
Su Ran was about to give up on that thought when Xu Xiao delivered her with such a great news.
Tournaments began the month after and she would not have any more conflicts.
The time period of that wasn’t short either but she could look at it as warm ups.
“Thank you so much!” Su Ran thanked him profusely.
“Don’t mention it. I just happen to know this girl is all. It’s nothing.” Xu Xiao smiled and said, “I do look forward to working with you more, Instructor Su.”
Xu Xiao had it all figured out ever since Yu Lele’s new songs went on to the top song lists. They were going to use Su Ran for their few other boy bands, girl bands, and a few up and coming’s new singers’ extended play album and title songs.
If it wasn’t his for relationship with Wang Yue, he would have the contracts all arranged way before now.
“That won’t be a problem.” Su Ran nodded, then asked. “Em, do you think I might be able to borrow your studio one more time?”
Su Ran hasn’t forgotten that she had taken 600,000 yuan from Lu Shao and had yet to delivered the music that she had promised.
“Oh, of course! You can use your studio anytime you need, Instructor Su. The few of them over at the studio would love to have you over!”
It was, after all, a good learning experience just watching her work.
Unfortunately, every time Su Ran had anything recorded, she rarely needed to redo them.
And today was no different than any other times.
***
That night, when Su Han got home from school, Su Ran was still spacing out on the couch.
She was not on her cellphone, or scribbling down something on a piece of paper, or shopping for whatever bizarre products on XBao for 9.99 yuan minimum for free shipping for a change.
“Are you spacing out over there?” asked Su Han.
Hearing Su Han’s voice, Su Ran recollected herself, looked over at her son, and frowned in disgruntlement.
“You are spacing out. I am troubled!”
Even though the woman did not look troubled at all but as she had said it out loud explicitly, Su Han was still a little worried.
“What’s troubling you?” asked Su Han. Then he mumbled to himself softly, “What is there that you could possibly find troubling?”
Su Ran: !
She thought she could sense the contempt coming from her own son.
“You are a child. You won’t understand the kind of things that would trouble an adult.” As she talked, Su Ran even rested her chin on her palm and put on a very sad look as she shook her head.
“What are you trying to say anyway?” Su Han finally lost his patient and asked.
Why was that woman looking at him that way? Why did he feel a guilty conscience all of a sudden? He hasn’t even done anything yet!
“Truth is, I am wonder whether the day would come when you are accomplished and wealthy and you would no longer want this mother. And when I go to you asking for help, you would just coldly kick me aside…”
“What the heck are you talking about?!” said Su Han loudly as though agitated by Su Ran’s words.
What the heck was this woman thinking?! He would never not want her! And to say that he’d kick her aside?!
“Mmmhmm, I don’t think my son would treat me that way either. After all, you are okay to me,” said Su Ran with a smile.
Now it was her son who looked disturbed.
Watching Su Han walked inside of their apartment wordlessly, his face long, Su Ran blinked.
“Have you watched more weird, dog blood dramas again?” After a long while, so long that Su Ran thought Su Han had already fallen asleep sitting there, he finally looked back up and asked her with a strange look on him.
His voice was dull, seemingly very disturbed.
“Ugh…” No, this time she really didn’t.
