Ajiu's head was also feeling stuffy.
Looking at the hamburger that Gu Cheng handed over, she shook her head. "Thank you. I don't eat meat; I only eat vegetables. I have to go back to the school. Otherwise, my little brother will be worried if he can't find me later."
"He's shopping with my cousin right now. He probably won't be able to spare time to pick you up in the afternoon." Gu Cheng wiped his hands and continued, "To be honest, if I had a sister like you, I would definitely feel guilty like Bai Zhun. So, please believe me: Don't be too attached to your brother. He must be in a difficult position now. Otherwise, how could he not tell you that he knows my cousin? He must be afraid that if you would be unhappy once you know about it."
Ajiu tilted her head and pursed her lips. In the end, she still insisted on going back to school.
Gu Cheng couldn't even catch up with her and bumped into many people along the way. With his unfinished hamburger in his hands, he was a little unhappy.
Why did Ajiu not listen to anyone when it came to her brother?
In fact, what happened today had a certain impact on Ajiu.
When she was young, she thought that her little brother was a Buddhist disciple like her and could not break the precepts, so he could not fall in love.
Now she understood that her little brother was actually different from her. He could fall in love, get married, and have children.
She had to ask if her little brother really had a girl he liked.
She didn't want to bother her little brother.
But for some reason, she felt very uncomfortable in her heart.
Ajiu's awkwardness was reflected in the snacks that Bai Zhun stuffed into her school bag. She didn't eat a single one of them. Even when the little white cat nudged her with its soft head, she didn't want to talk to the cat like she usually did.
It was still snowing outside.
Bai Zhun was still waiting for Ajiu to finish class at the same place. He carried his school bag on one shoulder and wore a pure white down jacket on top. His black and white eyes were even more distinct.
The students who were coming and going were all looking at Bai Zhun.
"It's the Bai Zhun!"
"He's definitely here to pick up his sister."
"Do you guys feel that he is getting more and more handsome every day?"
"He's simply a Prince Charming. Not only is he famous in No. 1 High School, the students of No. 3 High School and No. 2 High School have all come to see him. There are students of No. 2 High School who are chasing after him. I don't know if it's true, but according to reliable sources, the two of them have already started a conversation."
"It can't be true. As a sister-lover, Bai Zhun doesn't have time to date. Other than picking up Ajiu, I haven't seen senior high school Belle with anyone else."
"I'm afraid it's true this time. My Best Friend is from No. 2 High School. She even saw her female senior bought takeaway coffee with Bai Zhun at Starbucks."
With Xiao Bai on her head, Ajiu listened to the discussions around her. For some reason, her footsteps felt a little heavy.
She tilted her head to take a look before she realized that she had not eaten the snacks in her backpack that day.
When Bai Zhun saw her, his eyes softened completely. He reached out to take her backpack off. Then, he frowned. "Why is it so heavy?"
"Yes." Ajiu was beautiful. She reached out to hold her backpack and reported honestly, "I didn't eat snacks this afternoon."
Bai Zhun paused for a moment and thought of her going out today. "Weren't you hungry if you didn't have snacks in the classroom?"
"I was not hungry today."Ajiu was still very obedient. She answered all the questions asked. "I went out to eat French fries."
Bai Zhun smiled. As he spoke, he inserted the straw into the yogurt which was passed to her. "Why did you think of going out today?"
How did she accidentally let her little brother ask so many questions?Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%E2%80%99re-hiding-something_52454175572809632 for visiting.
She could not help but reach out to knock on her little head. Unfortunately, her left hand was already in Bai Zhun's embrace, and her other hand could only hold the yogurt.
"It's nothing. I was just taking a stroll." Ajiu lowered her head, her long eyelashes drooping. She s.u.c.k.e.d the straw one after another, looking a little guilty.
Seeing this, Bai Zhun's heart felt like it had been punched by someone.
Ajiu's reaction was not within his expectations at all.
He knew better than anyone how obedient Ajiu was. Usually, she would say whatever she asked, but this time, it was obvious that she wanted to hide it from him.
Just because of that little brat who was in the same class as her?
Bai Zhun's Adam's apple moved with difficulty. His hand that was hanging on the other side also clenched tightly.
It was clearly snowing heavily outside, but he did not feel the slightest bit of cold. Instead, there seemed to be something burning in the middle of his c.h.e.s.t.
That kind of discomfort even made him want to crush something.
But the person standing in front of him was Ajiu. A long time ago, on the day Ajiu wanted to return to the temple, he had sworn that no matter what happened, he would never lose his temper in front of her again.
If it was possible, he would never want Ajiu to see his dirtiest and most unscrupulous side.
That way, at the very least, he could still be her little brother.
Once everything was exposed, Bai Zhun could not imagine how she would perceive him.
He remembered the truth of a saying: One has nothing when one is in darkness alone.
After all, this world was so big. There would not be significant changes with one's appearance or disappearance.
But when someone brought you light, so that you could hold another person in your arms every day and look at her smiling at you, you would not want to return to darkness no matter what happened in the future. You would definitely be fond of the little person who want to feed you eggs with her chopsticks.
The only thing Bai Zhun didn't want to let go of was this small, soft hand in his palm.
"This is the real princess and prince!"
"To be honest, I like my little Princess Ajiu more than Bai Zhun. Really, can I bring her home for a period of time?"
"I want a little princess too. That day, Ajiu helped me carry the suitcases. The boys didn't help carry the two big suitcases. When Ajiu saw it, she immediately helped me carry the heavy stuff to the dormitory with an ice-cream in her mouth. She looked so adorable!"
As if she heard someone saying her name, Ajiu raised her little head and looked over. Her tiger-like little face was very good-looking, but also silly and cute.
Chapter 1211 - Uninvited Guest
"What's wrong?" Bai Zhun asked in a low voice.
Ajiu said seriously, "Someone said that he likes me."
Bai Zhun was stunned for a moment before he smiled. He was handsome with bright eyes and white teeth.
Then, he took off his scarf and circled it around Ajiu's small face. "A lot of people like you. Grandpa and Auntie Wang, which one of them doesn't love you? Auntie Wang just called and said that she made pea noodles for you. When we go back, I'll cook it for you, alright?"
"Okay!" Ajiu's entire face was covered by a red scarf. Only a pair of bright black eyes were exposed. Hearing Bai Zhun's words, she nodded her head heavily. She was instantly energized.
Seeing that Ajiu was not listless, Bai Zhun was finally relieved and held Ajiu's hand again. "Tell me if you're cold."
Therefore, some people were right. Bai Zhun doted on Ajiu so much that it made people and gods angry.
According to Master Li, Ajiu was almost twelve years old. If she was not two years old, how could she not know if it was cold or hot?
If the whole world raised children l
ike Lord Bai did, how many naughty children would they raise?
Only Ajiu could accept Bai Zhun's way of raising children.
Unfortunately, Bai Zhun's plan to cook noodles for Ajiu fell through that day.
Because the Bai family had a guest.
Obviously the guest couldn't just eat some pea noodles.
Chief Bai had someone brew a pot of top-quality tea. The living room was also filled with fresh fruit plates and dried fruits. There were chess pieces in the center of the chessboard, and one could hear his hearty laughter from afar.
"It was this move. I used this move to win against you back then."
"Yes, I was not as skillful as you."
The old man sitting across from Chief Bai was holding a dragon-headed walking stick in his hand. He was dressed in a well-made suit. Although his hair was white, he was very energetic. In fact, he exuded the demeanor of a businessman. This was because the guest was Old Master Gu.
When Bai Zhun walked in and saw the scene in the living room, he could not help but pause.
"Little brother?" Ajiu was walking behind him. As soon as Bai Zhun stopped, the child's nose tip bumped into his back. She hugged his school bag and blinked her big eyes.
Bai Zhun quickly turned his head and rubbed her little nose for her.
"This should be Ajiu, right?"
Suddenly, a clear smile appeared by her ear.
When Ajiu raised her head, she saw a girl wearing a red one-piece dress smiling at her. The girl was wearing a white cashmere windbreaker. She looked very sweet, very much like the popular girls nowadays. She was cute and pure, which easily delighted many people.
Ajiu knew this person. When she was shopping for presents for her brother in the mall, this person was also there.
"Hi, Bai Zhun." Gu Rou mischievously blinked her eyes. "You definitely didn't expect that we would meet so soon."
Bai Zhun smiled, and there was a unique indifference in his politeness. "I really didn't expect it."
"Oh, right, Ajiu." Gu Rou turned her head and continued to say to Ajiu, "There's another person here too. You will definitely be very, very happy to see him."
Ajiu tilted her head, her face full of question marks.
"Hey, little brother, if you stay outside and don't come in, you won't be able to see Ajiu's cute appearance." Gu Rou placed her hands behind her back and called out softly towards the outside of the window. Even the smile at the corner of her mouth looked amiable and gentle.
"I know, Gu Rou, you're really long-winded."
Then, there was a loud bang.
A figure in a black windbreaker held the stone steps with one hand and jumped to the window in an instant. His movements were very handsome.
The figure was none other than Ajiu's deskmate, Gu Cheng.
He walked towards Ajiu with a smile at the corner of his eyes. "You didn't expect me to come, did you?"
Ajiu didn't expect it, and her little head tilted again.
"Here, I bought it for you." Gu Cheng stretched out his other hand with a chocolate cream cake on it.
Only Bai Zhun knew that Ajiu liked chocolate.
Therefore, the act of Gu Cheng made his heart tremble.
This boy was very much like that celebrity.
Bai Zhun looked at the interaction between two people who were about the same age. He could tell that Ajiu was very familiar with the boy.
Bai Zhun's slender fingers, hidden under his white coat, could not help but clench into fists. Even his deep eyes were filled with unprecedented coldness.
Gu Rou was originally smiling. When she turned her head to speak to Bai Zhun, she accidentally saw his clenched hands. She could not help but pause for a moment. Then, she followed Bai Zhun's gaze and looked over—he was staring at her cousin and Ajiu.
Gu Rou frowned. She thought that she had seen wrongly.
She must have seen wrongly.
How could the arrogant Bai Zhun show such an expression?
It was as if he was jealous.
However, thinking about it carefully, any older brother who had a sister complex probably couldn't bear to see his sister and other boys.
Thinking of this, Gu Rou laughed again. She walked to Bai Zhun's ear and said, "My cousin and Ajiu are very close, right? It just so happens that we can kiss too, what do you think?"
Bai Zhun turned his face over, and his voice was a little cold. "Kiss?"
Gu Rou had never heard him use such a voice to talk to her. She was just about to explain.
Just then, Old Master Gu said heartily, "Old brother, look at how lively these juniors are when they gather together. Bai Zhun is the calmest kid. Even my granddaughter, who has been being pursued by others, is helpless in front of him. Hahaha."
"Grandfather." Gu Rou reached out and grabbed old master Gu's hand. "Why do you talk about everything in front of grandfather Bai?" As she spoke, she raised her eyes and glanced at Bai Zhun. Her skin was so thin that it was already a little hot, and she looked scarlet.
Old Master Gu was puzzled. "You weren't like this when you were abroad. This is strange too. Gu Cheng, look at your sister. She's shy now."
"She likes Bai Zhun." Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows and smiled evilly.
Bai Zhun suddenly interrupted the laughter in the room. "Grandpa, is Ajiu's pea noodles cooked?"
Old Master Gu laughed.
Old Master Bai really couldn't do anything about this grandson of his. "I'm not eating noodles today. I'll eat something else."
"I promised Ajiu that I would cook noodles for her." Bai Zhun stood up in a very indifferent voice and held Ajiu's hand. "Grandpa Gu, I still have to cook for my sister, so I'll go down first."
Bai Zhun's words and actions were very polite.
But it was precisely his politeness that made people feel distant.
Old Master Bai frowned and didn't say anything.
It just so happened that Auntie Wang came out at this time with the dishes in her hands. She said hesitantly, "Young master, it's almost time to eat..."
Chapter 1212 - Chief Bai Taught Ajiu How to Cook
"Let Grandpa and the others eat first." Bai Zhun held Ajiu's hand and walked into the kitchen without looking back.
The kitchen was semi-open. From the dining table in the living room, one could see the movement inside.
Master Bai smiled as he called out to the Gu family. "Come, come, come. Let's eat first. That Kid is also fast at stir-frying noodles. Rou Rou, Xiaocheng, you all sit down. Don't always stand there."
"I've always wanted to try sister Wang's cooking." Old Master Gu was the first to sit down, so he wasn't clear about the undercurrent between the children.
The two old men hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they were very happy. The white wine was fully served, along with a plate of peanut beans and some stewed beef. It was no different from when they were young.
When older people got together, they liked to tell stories from the past.
The two old men were talking happily.
On the other side, Bai Zhun had already washed the cuc.u.mber and carrot. He was lowering his head and cutting them into very even dices.
The reason why Master Bai could cook now was all because of Ajiu.
There was one year when Auntie Wang had a gallstone. After the surgery, she had to stay in the hospital for at least half a month to recuperate.
However, in summer, children would have indigestion once they ate the greasy and heavy dishes outside.
Ajiu had never been sick when she was in the temple.
Seeing that the child's round little face had become sharp, Bai Zhun was anxious. The only grandson of the Bai family, who never touched the sun, surfed the Internet to search for recipes and prepare his own dishes.
The first meal was prepared by the two of them together.
Ajiu loved to eat white rice.
Bai Zhun first checked the instructions and steamed the rice in the rice cooker. Then he opened the refrigerator and took out the vegetables
inside. At first, he wanted to make some simple dishes.
At that time, Ajiu was still young. He would give him whatever he wanted. The child also knew how to crack eggs, but there was always something on his little face. It was so cute that people liked it.
Ever since that day...
Every Sunday, Bai Zhun would cook a meal for Ajiu.This habit did not change even after Auntie Wang was discharged from the hospital.
"Little brother, do you need to put eggs in? I'll help you crack them." Now, Ajiu's height could already surpass that of a kitchen counter. However, her cute and silly expression did not change much. Her eyes were wide open as she looked at Bai Zhun who was cutting vegetables at the side.
Bai Zhun smiled and put the vegetables into a glass bowl. "No need, but I really need Ajiu's help with something."
"What is it?"Ajiu had always liked to help her little brother.
Bai Zhun lowered his eyes and beat the egg into another bowl. Without raising his head, he said, "Help me tie my apron."
Tie an apron?
This seemed to be the first time that her little brother had asked her for help.
Ajiu nodded solemnly. With a small face, she seriously took off the apron hanging at the side and said to Bai Zhun, "Little brother, turn around, or I won't be able to tie it."
"Okay." Bai Zhun was wearing a disposable transparent glove, and in his left hand was a white bowl, which was filled with egg liquid. He had a smile on the corner of his mouth. He casually raised his two arms and let Ajiu, who was much shorter than him, put on the apron for him.
He had to put it on the front before he could tie it on the back.
Ajiu was very careful. Bai Zhun could smell her hair when he lowered his head.
Sometimes, some things would never change. For example, the gentleness in Bai Zhun's eyes when he looked at Ajiu.
He might feel that it was nothing, but it was not the case when others looked at it.
Lord Bai also could not control himself. He lowered his head and his thin lips landed on Ajiu's head.
Ajiu looked up at him and reached out to touch her head. She was extremely cute.
