Have you ever seen a tiger cub tumble about?
That was how little Ajiu looked like now.
Bai Zhun looked at her tiger-like face, and the anger in his heart finally subsided.
He knew that the child had not eaten much just now, so he had specially brought her a yogurt cake.
He did not care how Auntie Wang nagged him about not spoiling the child too much, especially about not letting her eat at night because she might get a cavity.
But Bai Zhun knew how far he could go. Eating a little of such things was alright.
Little Ajiu stared at the cake with her eyes shining.
Bai Zhun smiled faintly and stretched out his hand to help her sit upright. âDo you want to eat it?â
Little Ajiu pricked up her little ears and nodded her head very hard.
Bai Zhun had always been patient with the child, so he used a spoon to cut the cake and fed her.
Little Ajiu ate the cake like it was super delicious. Her long eyelashes drooped, and she ate one piece. It wasnât enough, so she ate another piece. Her little belly was full from eating, so she burped a little and leaned on Bai Zhun.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âAjiu, I promise you that no one will disturb us in this family in the future.â Bai Zhun wiped the childâs mouth. âYou donât always have to do everything yourself, understand?â
Little Ajiu tilted her big head. âWouldnât that take up your time?â
âMy time is for you to use.â Bai Zhun also got into bed and let the child lie on top of him. âDidnât we agree that we are a family? Of course we have to take up each otherâs time.â
Little Ajiu felt that Bai Zhun was right, but there was one problem. âBut what if you get a girlfriend?â
âI wonât have a girlfriend,â Bai Zhunâs voice was very indifferent. âDidnât you also say that the women at the foot of the mountain are all tigers?â
Little Ajiu felt that something was not quite right. âThatâs not how it works. Li Hailou said that everyone needs a girlfriend. I am a monk, so I stay away from girls. But you are not a monk.â
âIâm your senior, have you forgotten?â Master Bai automatically started to bluff her. âIâm also a monk, or at least Iâm half a monk.â
When little Ajiu heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up and her little face looked very serious. âIn that case, you must be more careful. You canât get close to girls anymore. Wuli Buddha said that emotions can be deceiving, so make sure you donât break the precepts, understand? I see that you havenât been doing too well recently. I will watch out for you on behalf of Buddha.â
Bai Zhun listened to the childâs very serious explanation and couldnât help but laugh when he saw her nod in agreement with herself. âSure.â
âThen letâs go to bed.â Little Ajiu crawled over Bai Zhunâs arms and handed the copy of The Little Prince that was lying on the bedside table to Bai Zhun. It meant that she wanted Bai Zhun to tell her a bedtime story.
Bai Zhun opened the illustration book with a faint smile. The youthâs voice was crisp and pleasant to the ear.
Little Ajiu leaned into his arms and listened attentively. After listening for a while, her eyes started to droop and her little head started to nod off.
Bai Zhun pushed away little Ajiuâs hair and closed his eyes as well.
The two children had finally reconciled.
Auntie Wang was also glad to see that they had made up.
If little Ajiu insisted on doing things her own way, no one knew what would the young master would do.
The next morning, little Ajiu held a piece of toast in her mouth as usual. She held Bai Zhunâs schoolbag with her small hands and her eyes were open wide.
She liked holding Bai Zhunâs schoolbag.
Bai Zhun squatted down and tied the childâs shoelaces with his slender white fingers. The sunlight shone on the two of them, casting a very long shadow on them.
As the third-grade class belle, little Ajiu was never late for school. She just liked to sleep in class and was a violent person.
This should be something that everyone knew.
To put it simply, those who knew how to fight didnât waste time doing useless things.
On this day, little Ajiu was eating a snack given to her by her table partner
In fact, all the third-grade students had been taken care of by Bai Zhun. The most handsome boy in school had asked them to take care of the class belle so gently, so how could they not agree?
He was the idol of their dreams!
Of course, their idol had also said that no guys were allowed to get close to the class belle.
At that time, they had wanted to say that they were guys too. Did their idol not treat them as guys since he allowed them near the class belle?
When the third grade students thought of this, they were extremely depressed.
When the bell rang, the class belle said to go out and play football.
Although Ajiu was small sized, the amount of stamina she had was greater than all the boys in their entire class combined.
One of the boys didnât want to recall how he embarrassed himself anymore.
In short, wherever Ajiu went, there would be singing and laughing. This was the most unusual thing about third-grade Class A.
Everyone was having fun, but when little Ajiu lowered her head to eat the second bag of small melon seeds, Yan Qin appeared, along with the two girls behind her.
They were both first-year junior high school students, so of course, all the students in the class were watching them on tiptoe.
âAjiu.âYan Qinâs eyes were red, as if she had just cried. She said, âCan you talk to your brother and put in a good word for me? I didnât have any other intentions at your house the other day. I just felt that itâs best for girls to not always rely on others when doing things. Your brother dotes on you so much, so he must have thought that I was teaching you the wrong thing. I just felt that since he has to study and take care of you at the same time, he often doesnât join our gatherings because heâs too tired, and thatâs why I said that at your place. Do you understand where Iâm coming from?â
Little Ajiu held a small melon seed in her mouth and was stunned for a moment.
The two girls who had come with Yan Qin were not the ones who had gone to the Bai house the other day and werenât sure what really happened. Besides, these girls enjoyed forming cliques in school, and just isolated whoever they didnât like. There were definitely such girls in junior high.
They were in the same clique as Yan Qin, so of course they would speak up for Yan Qin.
One of the girls couldnât help it when she saw little Ajiu standing there without speaking.
âAjiu, right? Youâre Bai Zhunâs sister, which means youâre our sister too. Iâm sure youâre a sensible little girl. Because of you, your brother is going to break up with your Yan Qin. If you speak up for Yan Qin, weâll treat you to hamburgers, howâs that?â
When the male student next to them heard this, he felt that these girls had not come with good intentions. He glanced at their little class belle and took a step forward to block the girls from getting any closer to Ajiu.
âIf thereâs anything, you should look for the teacher. Ajiu is still young and canât understand what youâre saying.â
After the girl heard this, she glanced at little Ajiu. âSheâs not an idiot, what do you mean by she doesnât understand what weâre saying? We are here to ask for your help., so you have to say something. With an elder brother like Bai Zhun, you canât be that stupid. Even if youâre adopted, you should at least have some intelligence.â
Little Ajiu still did not say anything. She just placed the small melon seed in her hand aside.
