âYou want to shower?â Bai Zhun recalled the situation when Little Baldy washed his hands. He thought for a moment and said, âLet me wash you. Itâs too slippery in the bathtub. You wonât be able to stand properly.â
Little Baldy shook his head and said, âNo, Buddha said that I have to do my own things. My master allowed me to shower myself. Itâs fine.â
Bai Zhun saw that he could not persuade the child, so he chose a compromise. However, he told Little Baldy not to lock the door, while he waited outside the bathroom. If anything happened, at least he could go in and save Little Baldy.
Little Baldy felt that his brother was making a fuss over an insignificant matter. How could he fall down in a bathtub?
The sink incident that day was an exception. It happened because he was too curious and did not control himself. It would never happen again.
This time, nothing happened to Little Baldy. He took off his clothes and stood under the rain, scrubbing his back vigorously.
If Bai Zhun came in at this time, he would have noticed that the junior he thought of wasnât a boy, but a little girl.
After showering, Little Baldy put on his pajamas. In fact, it was a monkâs robe, but of a different type.
One good thing about being a monk was that one didnât need to dry oneâs hair.
Seeing that the little guy holding the clothes and walking out of the bathroom with a fragrant smell, Bai Zhun subconsciously let out a sigh of relief.
âLittle brother, where is the basin?â Little Baldy raised his head and asked.
Bai Zhun was puzzled. âBasin?â
âYes, I need to wash my clothes,â Little Baldy said with a serious expression. âIf I wash it a little later, I wonât be able to dry it the next day.â
Bai Zhun wanted to say, âWhy are you washing those monkâs robes? Throw them away and buy a new one.â
However, after thinking about Little Baldyâs character, Bai Zhun patted the little guyâs head, âSince Auntie Wang is around, you can give her the dirty clothes, and she will handle it.â
âNo!â The Little Baldy said in a childish voice, âI want to wash them myself. Auntie Wang washed the clothes for you because you pay her. I didnât pay Auntie Wang anything. In fact, I can also wash the clothes for you. Master said that you have to wash the clothes that I have washed, but Buddha always praises the laborers! I want to fend for myself too.â
This was clearly the words of a political party. How could it be taught by a temple? Bai Zhun really couldnât really convince the little guy. Anyway, since Little Baldy ate a lot at night, he could treat it as an exercise too. It wouldnât be good for his health if the food cannot be digested well.
Therefore, Bai Zhun didnât tell Little Baldy that there was such a thing as a washing machine in the world. Instead, he just fulfilled Little Baldyâs wish.
Little Baldy placed the washing powder and soap on the ground. After taking the basin and fetching some water, he ran toward Bai Zhun and asked, âDo you have any clothes that you need to wash?â
Bai Zhun thought for a moment and found that he needed to train Little Baldy since he was a boy. Therefore, Bai Zhun casually threw a white t-shirt to him and said, âWash it slowly.â
âOkay!â Little Baldy finally felt that he was somewhat useful in this house. He put his little kasaya and Bai Zhunâs white T-shirt in the basin. Then, he put the clothes in the basin, bent his body and rubbed the clothes very seriously!
The white cat nestled at his foot. It first glanced at Bai Zhun, but it soon leaned its head on Little Baldyâs foot.
Little Baldy was extremely happy.
Bai Zhun sat at the side and watched the child who was seriously struggling with the soap bubbles. He watched as Little Baldy grabbed his t-shirt and rubbed it. When he raised his hand, bubbles dropped on his little nose and his head. Bai Zhun could not help but laugh upon seeing that.
Little Baldy did not know what Bai Zhun was laughing about. He only knew how to be happy. Washing clothes was indeed fun.
Later on, Bai Zhun finally understood why his master would not let a child wash clothes.
Little Baldy could handle the crude monk clothes well. However, Bai Zhunâs Givenchy t-shirt could no longer be worn after being washed by Little Baldy.
The only one who could destroy wash clothes while washing them was Little Baldy.
Nevertheless, Bai Zhun still felt that it was necessary to praise Little Baldy. After all, he had worked hard before.
At the same time, he also had to remind Little Baldy to pay attention when he washed clothes in the future.
Little Baldy responded in surprise, âIsnât that good? I used twice as much strength because I was afraid that I wouldnât be able to wash it clean.â
âYou donât have to wash so hard in the future.â Bai Zhun wiped the sweat off the childâs forehead.
Little Baldy nodded and touched the bag again. He took out a pacifier and put it in his mouth. âLittle brother, why donât you ring the bell? My eyelids are heavy.â
Bai Zhun saw his expression and held back his laughter. âHow did you get that thing on your mouth?â
âItâs always been with me,â Little Baldy said seriously. âIt helps me sleep well.â
Bai Zhun raised his hand and looked at the time. It was 8:20 pm.
Although the child went to bed early, wasnât this time a little too early? Didnât he play games or something?
He was probably tired.
âThere are many guest rooms in the villa, but youâre too young. Youâll sleep with me for a year. When youâre older, youâll go to the guest room,â Bai Zhun told Little Baldy.
âI will sleep with you now?â Little Baldyâs eyes were very clear. âI will try my best not to squeeze you out.â
Bai Zhun smiled an said, âAll the beds at home are double beds. How can you possibly push me down the bed?â
âI will grow very tall in the future!â
It was very obvious that Bai Zhunâs words had hit Little Baldyâs sore spot.
Bai Zhun only rubbed his head and spoke nothing.
Under normal circumstances, Bai Zhun would have to go to bed at 10:30 at the earliest.
In the military compound, he also stayed up late.
Every day, he would play video games with Master Li and the others= friends.
The friends would never hit the sack before midnight. The people at home had always wanted to punish them.
However, these brats had been strong since they were young. Perhaps it was because they were born in the military. Those who wanted to punish them felt that they could not do so very easily.
Just then, Master Li had just been kicked by his father. He thus turned around and went online. After logging in, he sent a WeChat message to Bai Zhun.
âHey, Buddy, come on, letâs have a good fight online today.â
It was rare for a child who was less than ten years old to have a cell phone.
However, the Li family was different from the Bai family.
The Li Family was very rich. Although he did not care about himself much, his mother gave him whatever he wanted. Therefore, it was not strange for him to have a cell phone.
As for the Bai Family, Master Bai did not come back often. Bai Zhun was the one who made the decisions. He could buy whatever he wanted. His usual electronic products were also the latest models.
He did his homework on his tablet. After all, the children in the city who handed in their homework to the teachers via email.
Bai Zhun glanced at WeChat and only replied with a few words, âIâm not playing. Iâm accompanying my younger brother.â
âNo way...â Master Li shook his head as he looked at the reply. Was Bai Zhun really addicted to raising other peopleâs children?
It was unlikely.
With Bai Zhunâs character, he would probably just take care of Little Baldy for a day...
