Bai Zhun clenched his fists. The low blood sugar symptoms he had after waking up made him reach out and press his forehead.
Little Baldy still had a watermelon in her mouth. Se reached out his small hand and patted Bai Zhunâs head. âBig brother, Wuli Buddha said that if youâre always angry, youâll grow old. You already look quite old, so donât be angry.â
Bai Zhun nearly fainted.
His own childâs ability to comfort people could really infuriate the living to death. He finally understood why his seniors on the mountain always spoke of Little Baldy with tone that sounded like they both loved and hated her at the same time.
âIâm not angry anymore. Donât take those peopleâs words to heart,â Bai Zhun replied quietly. âThey are not me, and they cannot decide anything on behalf of the Bai family. From the moment you entered the Bai family, you become a child of the Bai family, so you are now my little brother.â
Little Baldy agreed. Seeing that Bai Zhun seemed to have a headache, her soft and tender little hand reached out to press Bai Zhunâs temple. âWuli Buddha said that there will always be all kinds of people in the world. You donât need to punish yourself with the way other people think.â
âArenât you upset about what Lin Ziwen said?â Bai Zhun was still worried that the child would let his imagination run wild.
âIâm not angry.â Little Baldy first shook her head, then moved closer to Bai Zhunâs ear and said seriously, âI just feel that what my idiot Senior said is very true. The women at the foot of the mountain are indeed tigers. I canât ignore other types just because Auntie Wang is a good person. I will pay attention to them in the future.â
âOh? How?â Bai Zhun felt that the small hand on his head was very comfortable. He just held onto the little child and lay on the bed. He was not worried about the situation downstairs. With Li Hailou watching, the kids wouldnât make any trouble.
Little Baldyâs eyes were large and round. âHow else? Iâll beat her up if she say anything bad about me!â
Her confident tone made even a top student like Bai Zhun twitch the corner of his mouth twice.
How should he educate this child? In the future, he should talk more and fight less?
This seemed to be a relatively long process..
Bai Zhun didnât know if he sighed or not, but ever since that day, for the first time, Young Master Bai had the urge to protect someone.
Little Baldy sat on the bed, still rubbing Bai Zhunâs head. Then, as if she had thought of something, her little face turned very serious. âBig brother, Iâm not poor. I can support you, so you donât have to worry.â
âOkay.â Thatâs what Bai Zhun said, but in reality, he did not take the little childâs words to heart. He just felt that having such a baby in his arms made him feel comfortable even with his eyes closed.
When Little Baldy heard Bai Zhun agree, she immediately became happy and rubbed Bai Zhunâs head even harder.
Li Hailou snuck upstairs and saw this scene.
He knew that Bai Zhun had not been sleeping well. It was probably related to the death of his uncle and aunt.
Bai Zhun always turned out to be right, and he couldnât tell what Bai Zhun was thinking about most of the time.
The Bai house was usually empty and did not have much life in it. Now that the little monk had come, it suddenly became much livelier.
Little Baldy was the first to see Li Hailou. She narrowed her eyes. Her small appearance was very dangerous. It was as if the other party had entered a territory that he should not enter.
Those who did not know would think that they had provoked some little beast.
Li Hailou quickly reached out his hand and surrendered. âIâm here to apologize to your senior. Iâm not a bad person. Little Monk, itâs wrong for you to look at me like that.â
âThis penniless monkâs dharma name is Xuan Jiu.â The people at the foot of the mountain were always so difficult to communicate with! Why werenât they willing to call her by her proper name?! Little Baldy was very puzzled!
Bai Zhun heard the insistence in the childâs voice and lightly smiled as he stroked her head. âHis memory isnât good, so he always scores zero on exams.â
âBai Zhun, you canât smear me like this in front of your younger brother! You should set his values correctly from the beginning!â Li Hailou shouted.
Bai Zhun said very slowly, âYou are a negative example.â
Li Hailou was silent for a moment. He looked at Bai Zhun and coughed lightly, âYouâre not angry anymore, right?â
Bai Zhun raised his eyebrows, âWhat do you think?â
âDonât be angry. I have a lot of games to play here. Letâs go online and fight later.â Li Hailou used his fist to touch Bai Zhunâs shoulder.
Bai Zhun hugged Little Baldy in his arms and sat up. His voice was indifferent, âIâm not interested.â
âThen tell me, what should we do?â Li Hailouâs face was flushed red. âLook, I agree that we were unkind earlier and we shouldnât have behaved like that, and I do agree with the way youâve handled it. Itâs like that old saying â women are like clothes but brothers are like hands and feet. We supported you when you scolded Lin Ziwen earlier! Thatâs what you should do for your fellow brothers! But you canât tell me that you donât want the other brothers you have downstairs anymore, right?â
Bai Zhun smiled. âWhat are you thinking about? I mean not playing online games, but playing something else. Ajiu has just arrived. When itâs not hot outside, letâs bring her to walk around the courtyard.â
âAh, I see!â Li Hailouâs eyes lit up. He said to Little Baldy, âThis entire courtyard belongs to my brothers! In a while, my brothers will bring you to get âem birds!â
Little Baldy had a face full of question marks. Get what birds? She didnât understand him. So someone who scored zero on exams couldnât speak clearly either.
Bai Zhun picked up the little fellow again. âHeâs small, so he canât go too far.â
âDonât worry, leave it to me!â After saying that, Li Hailou ran downstairs to get ready.
Auntie Wang looked at the sun outside. It was really bright. First, she brought the mung bean soup and mint tea that were frozen in the refrigerator for the children to drink to relieve the heat. Then, she made some fruit ice cream.
The Bai family did not have cola and soda. In fact, the children from military families like this had more self-control when it came to food.
The Bai family was even more strict.
Seven or eight older children sat on the sofa, discussing what they could do to catch more birds. It was as if they were going to win some war.
When it was past four oâclock in the afternoon, the sun outside had not gone down much.
Auntie Wang was worried that Little Baldy would get sunburned again, so she found a hat that Bai Zhun had worn when he was a child. It was a nondescript hat that made her look a little silly and cute when paired with a kasaya.
Bai Zhun saw that the child was looking at him with her round little face, and only then did he realize that as the head of the family, he should buy some new clothes for the child. He couldnât let the child wear a monkâs robe since she was now in the city.
Li Hailou was a carefree person, so he didnât notice the little monkâs attire and raised his hand excitedly. âLetâs go!â
Once he gave this order, the group of children ran out.
Little Baldy was also affected by this energy and suddenly ran in front of all the other kids.
When she turned around again...
There was no one behind her.
Li Hailou and the others were also dumbfounded. was that little monk in front of them a human? Why did they feel that she was wearing rockets on her feet or something?!
