Gu Ran didn't run away, he turned back after all.
Although it was just a bucket of laundry detergent, something even a child could carry for a hundred meters, he still turned back.
It wasn't because he was worried about her strength, nor did he think that a beauty shouldn't carry heavy objects, but because he didn't want to abandon her—nobody wanted to be abandoned.
He had walked alone in the wilderness and deeply understood the feeling of being left behind, as if one was the only person in the world.
His reaction was a bit exaggerated, but he insisted on this point: never abandon a friend, not even as a joke.
As he walked back, Su Qing also approached with the clothes rack in her left hand and the laundry detergent in her right.
Her face was as still as water, resembling a newlywed who was promised by her fiancé that household chores would be split evenly, only to find after marriage all the chores fell on her. She brimmed with extreme dissatisfaction and regret about life.
