Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again-Chapter 362 - 146: Farewell, Our Youthful Days!

Three days later, early morning.

The Su family.

"Son, I’ve packed the clothes you need to change into, swimming trunks, towel, toothbrush, and slippers. Remember to bring your ID and wallet!"

After breakfast at home, Zhao Lixia stuffed the backpack into Su Zelin’s arms, giving him a series of reminders.

She already knew that Qin Shiqing planned to go to the seaside with her son the day before her birthday, and both families’ parents agreed.

The four grandparents of the Qin and Su families didn’t plan to get involved this time, although in the past trips to the beach were always with adults.

But now the kids have grown up and become adults, able to act independently, and the parents were at ease with them going on a short trip together during the summer break.

Moreover, there’s Su Zelin, who is quite mature for his age, handling things outside like a little adult, almost capable of anything.

It’s time to let young people have their own world; they’d only be a hindrance if they tagged along.

"Got it, got it, I’ve packed everything!"

Su Zelin nodded repeatedly.

It’s just over a hundred kilometers, just a night’s stay, yet Mom is making such a big deal out of it, like going abroad. She’s packed slippers and a toothbrush into the backpack as if they couldn’t be bought there.

"Ah, right, there’s that too!"

Zhao Lixia seemed to remember something, ran into Su Zelin’s room, and brought something out.

Su Zelin almost fainted at the sight of it—it was his kapok guitar.

During the holidays, the trains weren’t crowded, so Su Zelin casually brought it back home to have some fun with it.

"Mom, we’re just going to the beach to play; what’s the point of bringing a guitar? It’s not like it can be used as a surfboard!"

"Hehe, it’s not like you’ll be swimming all day. Playing the guitar on the beach at night is quite romantic!"

Zhao Lixia said with a laugh.

In such a romantic setting, Qin Shiqing might be moved and even give her son a kiss.

Without any room for argument, Granny Su hung the guitar on Su Zelin.

The rascal had no choice but to carry it.

Looking at his phone, it was about time, so he walked over to Su Jianjun with a grin, "Dad, don’t you have something to say to me?"

Su Jianjun thought to himself, what can I say to this kid who always trips up his father?

Last winter break, when you hurried back to school due to some urgent matter, I politely asked if there was anything I could do to help, and I ended up losing a thousand bucks.

This rascal always seems to have bad intentions, easily falling into traps, so it’s better to keep silent.

However, Zhao Lixia frowned as soon as she saw it and said discontentedly, "Jianjun, your son is about to leave; can’t you show some concern?"

He’s just going on a trip, only over a hundred kilometers away, returning tomorrow. What’s there to say?

Thinking this to himself, he dared not contradict the tigress.

So Su Jianjun pretended to be serious and said sternly, "Be safe!"

The fewer words, the less likely to be caught saying something wrong.

I don’t believe it—with just these four words, what could you possibly hold against me!

"Dad, safety is important when you’re out, so can you give me some money for safety?" The rascal shamelessly stretched out his hand.

Su Jianbao nearly fainted.

How could you even link this to money?

I admit defeat. No wonder you’re my son!

"Don’t you have money?"

Of course, Su Jianjun was unwilling.

This kid also invested in the B-share market, and probably not with a small amount.

Not to mention the thirty percent commission—he might even have more money than I do!

Using his own money, not his father’s, there’s no such good thing. Do you think your dad has "fool" written on his forehead?

"I do have money. I wanted to get some last night!" Su Zelin coughed dryly, "But the damn ATM malfunctioned and swallowed my card. Yet, in the early morning, the bank isn’t open; how could I have time to sort it out!"

Su Jianjun: "...#￥%*&"

...

Seeing off the son at the door, Father Qin and Mother Qin were already waiting with Qin Shiqing in the courtyard.

"Zelin, this time playing at the seaside, please take care of our Shiqing!"

Qin Daqing said solemnly.

"Dad, I’m almost eighteen, not a child anymore!"

Qin Shiqing protested.

"Shiqing, even if you’re an adult, you’re still a girl. There has to be a boy to protect you; otherwise, your mom and I won’t be at ease!"

Liu Sufen added.

"I will."

Su Zelin’s simple three-word promise reassured the Qin elders.

Since childhood, when it came to caring for their daughter, Su Zelin was always quite reliable.

"Old Qin, Sufen, don’t worry!"

Zhao Lixia assured, "I’ve instructed this rascal to stay close to Shiqing 24/7!"

Qin Daqing and Liu Sufen nodded subtly, but they suddenly felt there was something a bit off about this statement.

"Son, you’re a good swimmer. When Shiqing and others go swimming in the sea, keep an eye on them, and ensure everyone’s safety, understood?"

Su Jianjun instructed again.

Su Zelin learned to swim early and was an excellent swimmer.

When he was little, during their stay at their rural home, this kid snuck out to the river to swim, and Su Jianjun, upon finding out, gave him a good thrashing with a belt, then trained him to be a top-notch swimmer.

"Got it, Dad, I won’t nag you guys anymore. I have to catch the bus!"

Su Zelin was a bit impatient.

In his previous life, flying around all the time, even visiting chaotic places like Hei Province several times, this 100-kilometer trip seemed as easy as sipping water, yet the adults kept nagging endlessly.

"You brat, no patience at all!" Zhao Lixia couldn’t help but scold, "If Shiqing loses even a hair, I’ll hold you accountable!"
