The Anarchic Consort

After walking into the room, Ajiu bent down and took out all the gifts she had bought for Bai Zhun.

After she finished counting them, she put them back where they were.

She didn’t know why, but even though she had clearly grown up, at this moment, she really missed her mother and brothers.

Ajiu opened the scriptures. After reading a paragraph, she stared blankly at her phone for a while.

On the screen was the scene of her second brother hugging her and meowing like a cat.

Ajiu looked at it and laughed. Her actions were very cute as she kissed the phone. Then, she whispered, “Second brother, see you tomorrow.”

It was probably because she was too tired from playing with Helian Qingchen today. She went shopping, bought things, took photos, and so on.

Ajiu had not gone to the bathroom to wash up. She just lay on the desk and fell asleep.

The faint light shone on her face. It was very clean and white. It was as if even the fine hair on her face could be seen clearly.

When Bai Zhun pushed the door open and entered, he saw this scene.

He couldn’t help but slow his steps down so as not to disturb Ajiu.

Bai Zhun did not take a shower either. When he sat in the study and listened to his grandfather and the others talk, he hadn’t really paid attention either.

It was not until he saw the person lying in the room that his heart began to slowly calm down.

Bai Zhun was wearing a light blue sweater. Such clothes didn’t always match the one who wore it, but when he wore it, there was no sense of dissonance at all. Instead, it made him look even more handsome and noble.

He picked up his wool coat, walked to Ajiu’s side without a change in expression, and put it on the child’s shoulder.

Then, he squatted down and raised his head to look at her little sleeping face. He reached out to wipe the dirt off her face and smiled.

The strange thing about Ajiu was that she liked to recite scriptures in her sleep.

When she was young, Bai Zhun would often tease her with this matter.

Looking at her small mouth constantly moving and her cheeks bulging, she was like a little squirrel, very silly and cute.

It was the same now.

Bai Zhun poked Ajiu’s dimple with his finger, and then curved his lips upwards. Only then did he bend down with a faint smile, wanting to carry her up.

But just as he exerted force, he discovered that she was still holding a phone in her other hand. The phone was not locked, and the person on the screen was…Helian Qingchen.

Bai Zhun’s movement suddenly stopped, and his hand unconsciously exerted force as well.

He was very clear about what it was like to like someone.

No matter when, he wanted to see her. He wanted to see that tiny little figure.

He recalled the days when they were together as children. At that time, Ajiu would always obediently follow by his side, her small hand grabbing his clothes, and her other hand holding a steamed bun.

When exactly did all this start to change?

“What does Helian Qingchen have that is worth you taking him seriously? Ajiu, tell me, why…why not me?” Bai Zhun lowered his eyes and looked at the person he had placed on the bed. His voice was so low that it seemed to be filled with tears, as his black hair came down and covered his eyes..

The next day, when Ajiu woke up, there was no one by her side.

Someone had covered her with a blanket. Ajiu did not need to think to know that it was her brother who covered her.

She rolled around, changed into her school uniform and shoes, and carried her school bag down the stairs.

Besides Gu Cheng, the rest of the Gu family were sitting at the dining table, chatting and laughing.

Before she reached the table, she heard Gu Rou say to Auntie Wang, “Auntie Wang, the shrimp wonton you made is really delicious. That beef pastry too! It’s crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. It feels really good when you bite into it. In the past, I only liked Western food. It looks like I’ll have to try more Chinese food in the future, but only if Auntie Wang can makes them.”

Auntie Wang smiled and said, “Western food isn’t as delicious as Chinese food. The more you eat Chinese food, the more delicious it becomes. Miss Gu, go ahead and eat first. I’ll fish out the noodles and use beef as toppings. Young Master likes this.”

“Auntie Wang, in the past when we were not around, did Bai Zhun not eat meat at all?” Gu Rou asked indirectly.

Auntie Wang replied frankly without thinking, “That’s right. Young Master dotes on Young Mistress a lot. It has been a long time since meat dishes appeared on the table.”

“Bai Zhun is really working hard. He is always accommodating to another person.” Gu Rou raised her eyebrows.

Auntie Wang smiled and said, “Two people living together will definitely end up accommodating one another. Moreover, Young Master is happy to do so.”

“Auntie Wang is right. Bai Zhun has always been good to Ajiu. After all, she is his younger sister.” After saying this, Gu Rou scooped up another wonton to eat. “I want to eat an extra bowl. It’s too delicious.”

Listening to these conversations, Ajiu stood at the top of the stairs and paused for a moment before changing her direction.

She could not stand such a strong meat smell.

She might as well go to the school gate for breakfast.

With a pair of cat ears on her head and paw shaped gloves on her hands, Ajiu’s outfit was undoubtedly very eye-catching. In addition to that, there was a white cat lying on her shoulder.

In the morning, the vicinity of the school was especially lively.

There was a lot of food to eat along the street.

Ajiu looked at one thing and wanted a little of it, looked at another thing and wanted a little that, and couldn’t make up her mind. In the end, she finally decided to order ten steamed cabbage buns and cabbage that she thought were the best.

Just in case you were worried for her – these ten were not for her to eat. She wanted to buy them for Helian Qingchen.

Ajiu was very clear that the people at home could not get close to her, so the only person who could come to the school was definitely second brother.

Yesterday, when she was eating, she had noticed that other than her second brother, there was not even a cook in the house.

So during these seven days, she had to help her eldest brother take care of their second brother.

In no time, under the watchful eyes of the entire school, Ajiu carried a large pile of breakfast to the high school section of No. 1 High School…

On the other side, in the bustling Bai family home.

Bai Zhun finished showering, changed into his school uniform, and went downstairs. With a black schoolbag on one shoulder, he strolled towards the living room. He saw Gu Rou and the two old men in the house sitting at the dining table, but he didn’t see Ajiu.

“Where’s Ajiu?” Bai Zhun asked Auntie Wang, taking a sip of the milk on the dining table.

Auntie Wang didn’t say anything.

Gu Rou chuckled and said, “She probably left early. I just saw her go out.”

She didn’t even eat breakfast?

Bai Zhun looked at the vegetable bun that hadn’t even been touched. He looked at another plate and frowned.

“The pastry today has meat in it?”

Auntie Wang knew what the young master meant. She quickly walked over and said, “Old Master Gu and Miss Gu have just returned from abroad. They’re not used to eating Chinese vegetarian food.”

Bai Zhun heard this and did not say anything else. He picked up his schoolbag again and slung over it his left shoulder.

Gu Rou immediately stood up. “Bai Zhun, Auntie Wang made you the beef noodles that you like. You can leave after you finish eating. I’ll go with you.”

When Old Master Gu heard his granddaughter’s words, he looked over with a smile.

The corners of Gu Rou’s mouth were still smiling, and her eyes were twitching mischievously. She knew that with her grandfather watching from the side, Bai Zhun would not reject her…
