“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 like 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.”

The languid voice was still clear and crisp, making Ajiu feel that it was inexplicably familiar.

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.

Did Ajiu want to hide her affection for Gu Cheng from him?

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…”
