âYour brother walks really fast, doesnât he?â Gu Rou smiled as if she was complaining. âHe doesnât know at all to wait for us girls, but it doesnât matter. Ajiu, Iâll walk with you. This way, we can still chat.â
Ajiu actually didnât want to chat, so she didnât speak.
Gu Rou didnât give up. Instead, she put her hands behind her back, tilting her head, she asked, âAjiu, what does your brother usually like? Can you tell me? Just do me a favor. You know how hard it is for your brother to chase after me, but fortunately, heâs still gentle to me.â
Speaking up to this point, Gu Rou lowered her voice. With a smile on her face, she said after hesitating for a while, âAjiu, thereâs something that I donât know whether I should tell you. However, I saw that Bai Zhun is sometimes very tired, so I decided to tell you after some thought. You should know that people born in this place tend to mature earlier than other children because they have some social engagements to attend to. The last time we went shopping, it was actually Bai Zhun who was dealing with my grandfather. We didnât start at that time. I was the one who fell in love with him first. After interacting with him during this period of time, I realized that the most tiring thing for him was to go home. There were several things that he always had to worry about. Likewise, there were some things that he didnât want you to know, including the fact that he had to care about what time you ate every day and when he had to pick you up from the school. During these times, he could have been free, but he didnât do that because you were his younger sister. In his heart, family was always the first. Recently, he didnât seem to sleep well at night. After all, he had to take care of you for many things. For example, he was really worried that you didnât take your phone out this time. When he saw me just now, his expression changed. Whatever you wanted, Bai Zhun would definitely give it to you. He was just afraid that you would be sad. However, Ajiu, just because you are a younger sister, you should not take everything for granted. He also needs time to rest and date. My words may be a little straightforward, but they are also true. Family members should tolerate each other, not to mention that you are Bai Zhunâs only younger sister. â
Upon hearing that, Ajiu opened her mouth. She wanted to say that she had considered her little brother.
But when she thought about it, her little brother had indeed spent most of his time on her on things that were important and unimportant.
That was why her little brother was so angry just now.
Ajiu lowered her head and looked at her toes like a little turtle. She had clearly always wanted to be obedient.
In order to get that big dog for her little brother, she had promised Gu Cheng to play with him for a day.
But in reality, perhaps little brother just wanted to spend more time with others?
After all, Master Li had also said that she did not understand people of their age.
Ajiu thought that it would be good if she could grow faster. That way, she might be closer to people of their age.
Even if it would only help a little.
Bai Zhun did not come for dinner. It seemed that he had gone to bed after returning from skiing.
Ajiu wanted to go up and call him.
However, Old Master Gu said, âLet your sister Gu Rou go up. She has experience in calling people.â
âGrandpa.â Gu Rouâs face was red.
Gu Cheng put some vegetables in Ajiuâs bowl and said in a very low voice, âDidnât I tell you before not to be a third wheel? Youâve been following your brother around for twenty-four hours. He canât do anything mischievous even if he wants to.â
âLittle brother wonât do anything bad,â Ajiu said seriously.
Gu Cheng burst into laughter. âLittle Fool, the bad thing Iâm talking about is between a couple. Youâll understand when you grow up. Speaking of which, youâre just in the third year of primary school. Your level of enlightenment is incomparable to that of the third year of middle school, but it doesnât matter. Youâre doing pretty well.â
Between a couple? Ajiu paused for a moment. She remembered that every time she watched âConanâ, when Xinyi and Xiaolan appeared at the same time and were very close to each other, her little brother would always reach out to cover her eyes. At that time, she was still sitting in her little brotherâs arms and didnât know anything.
Over the years, other than the big dramas performed by Baili Shangxie, Ajiu also watched some programs about animals, such as man and nature. Of course, there were also some food channels, similar to âA bite of Chinaâ.
There were also some divination variety shows. Ajiu was the most engrossed in watching them. Usually, after watching them, she would say to Bai Zhun, âThe other partyâs predictions are not accurate.â
During the summer and winter holidays, the Bai Family would watch these things almost every day. Lixiao Bawang had once said that if there was a child in the family, they had to be careful. Even if they wanted to watch some romantic movies, they could not watch them casually.
If it was a boy, it would be fine. But if it was a girl, they had to be more careful.
Thus, it became the result.
When she was young, Ajiu grew up in a temple.
In her small mind, other than eating vegetarian food, chanting Buddha, and beating people, she had no other ideas.
Later on, when she could read, she would receive things and letters from her brothers.
It could be said that if she did not go down the mountain, Ajiu would always take it for granted that she was a boy. After all, she was going to be the abbot of the temple in the future.
Later on, with everyoneâs hard work, Ajiu finally accepted that she was a girl.
However, the childâs nature had already been formed, especially with Bai Zhunâs protection.
The twelve-year-old Ajiu indeed had not been exposed to too many things in this area.
Therefore, she was not clear about what Gu Cheng had said.
However, Gu Rou did not wake Bai Zhun up either.
Seeing that Bai Zhun was gone, the atmosphere in the hall was also lively. He told everyone to sleep early. When they woke up the next day, they could just see the sunrise from the snow mountain.
The rooms had been booked by Gu Rou previously. Each person had a room.
Ajiu looked at the room that belonged to her. It was very big inside, but it was very empty.
This was the first time she had lived alone after coming out.
At this time every day, it was almost time for her to recite Buddhist scriptures.
However, when she crossed her legs, her mind was indeed blank.
âShould I go and see Little Brother?â Ajiu pinched the little white catâs tail. âLittle Brother didnât eat dinner tonight, which is not good for his stomach. I hid food for little brother just now. Iâll send it to him before I come back. I definitely wonât disturb his rest.â
The little white cat meowed, which sounded sounded deep and pleasant.
The night outside was getting darker and darker. It was as if everything was dark.
This was a little like Bai Zhunâs heart.
He had drunk a lot of wine.
He lay on the sofa in the hall with his long legs. He raised a hand and placed it on the armrest. He looked at the endless snow outside with cold eyes.
There were two bottles of red wine beside the sofa. One of the bottles was already empty, while the other bottle was half empty.
âWhy didnât you call me when you were drinking?â
It was Gu Rou. Her hair was disheveled, and she looked like she had just taken a shower. Wearing a set of pure pajamas, she smiled as she sat beside Bai Zhun.
âLet me drink with you?â
As Gu Rou said this, she poured him some wine. âBai Zhun, I like you very much.â
As she spoke, she put down the red wine in her hand and pressed down on Bai Zhunâs hand with her pale red fingers. Her body also leaned over. âIâve never liked anyone so much. Bai Zhun, weâre the same type of people. I know what you want. Donât reject me, okay?â
