Ajiu looked in the direction Gu Cheng was pointing at.
She recognized Bai Zhun almost at a glance.
It was indeed him.
He had one hand in his pocket and the other hand was on the sling of his schoolbag. His eyes were deep and charming. From afar, he looked like a celebrity who was doing a photoshoot.
There was a girl standing beside him.
The girl was holding something in her hand, as if she was trying to make Bai Zhun laugh.
This was the first time Ajiu had seen her brother get so close to a girl other than herself.
Her big eyes looked stunned.

I have never seen my cousin behave like this before.
Gu Cheng chuckled.
It seems that she really likes your brother. Wait a minute, Ajiu, don’t tell me you don’t know that your brother knows my cousin?

Ajiu indeed did not know.

In that case, let’s not go over. Your brother definitely doesn’t want you to see him outside the school at this hour.
Gu Cheng reached out and grabbed Ajiu’s school bag strap.
Ajiu really did not understand many secrets that adults had between themselves.
She looked at her hands. They were still very small, and her legs were also very small.
Was there really a generation gap since they were five years apart?
What exactly was Bai Zhun thinking? She suddenly didn’t seem to know at all.
Gu Cheng was also surprised that the child didn’t resist him. It was quite interesting to pull this little girl forward. She was so cute.

In a while, I’ll take her to eat at Burger King or Pizza Hut. Little Bean must be hungry,
Gu Cheng thought as he walked on. His mood became better.
At this moment, Bai Zhun finally raised his eyes. He lazily twisted his stiff neck and tilted his head slightly. He did not expect to see that familiar little figure on the other side of the mall.
At first, he thought that he had seen wrongly.
When he ran over and looked carefully, there was no one there.
Gu Rou was right behind him, along with Xiao Lin and Li Hailou.
Xiao Lin was the first to speak. He lowered his voice and whispered into Bai Zhun’s ear,
Since we’re going to work together, then we have to consider the Gu family’s feelings. Old Master Gu is still downstairs waiting for us.


The conditions for working together didn’t say that we have to accompany his granddaughter to shopping.
Bai Zhun was still looking around.
Xiao Lin chuckled,
This project can earn us quite a lot. Didn’t you want to buy a temple for Ajiu? You can’t get one unless you’ve got at least a few million bucks.


We’ll talk about this later. I think I saw Ajiu just now.
Bai Zhun reached out his hand to push Xiao Lin away.
Gu Rou laughed at this time,
Bai Zhun, are you looking for your sister?

Hearing this, Bai Zhun turned around and looked at her.
Gu Rou sighed,
You are really obsessed with your sister. I saw your sister too. She seemed to be with my cousin just now. My cousin is different from ordinary junior high school students and he’s very good at taking care of others. Don’t worry, they seem to be on good terms. I can’t believe someone like my cousin would actually help a girl carry her shopping. That’s not something he would typically do.

The more Bai Zhun listened to her talk, the darker his eyes became.
Anyone who came into contact with those cold, iron-like eyes would be frozen speechless.
Not to mention Gu Rou, who was standing right in front of Bai Zhun. She didn’t know what words she had said to offend Bai Zhun.
His hands were in his pockets as he stood there. It was as if he was a thousand miles away from everyone.
Xiao Lin also heard what Gu Rou said. He was afraid that Bai Zhun would do something crazy in the mall, so he grabbed his wrist.
But Bai Zhun was surprisingly calm. He looked away and said,
What else do you need to buy? Go ahead and buy it. You have to go home in the afternoon.

He told himself that it was normal for Ajiu to have a friend.
There was no need to make a big deal out of nothing.
There was no need to think the worst of every situation.
He wasn’t sure if he was thinking about things this way partly because he knew he had to leave soon.
Sometimes, he would feel uneasy as he watched Ajiu lie on his shoulder and grow bigger and bigger each day.
He was five years older than her.
In her eyes, he might just be an elder brother who treated her meticulously.
He was probably nothing but an older brother to her.
Bai Zhun gripped the bag in his hand. He should not think about so much now.
Ajiu was still young, so he just needed to accompany her as she grew up.
But now, Bai Zhun didn’t know what he would do if Ajiu didn’t choose him when she grew up.
Or perhaps, she might develop feelings for a boy her age. What should he do if that happened?
He kept repeating this question in his heart.
His mind wasn’t on doing business at all.
Old Master Gu liked Bai Zhun very much. The Bai family had a good relationship with him, but they were not living in the capital in the past. Now that they were back, it would be good for both families to interact more with one another.
Gu Rou could also see that Bai Zhun did not like to accompany her, but that was not a big deal. At first, when her grandfather asked her to get in touch with the Bai family, she did not want to do so. But after seeing Bai Zhun, she was quite satisfied with her grandfather’s arrangement.
Bai Zhun probably thought the same way too. Gu Rou turned sideways and glanced at Bai Zhun through the car window. She didn’t care if Bai Zhun returned her greeting or not, and the corners of her mouth curled up into a smile.

You like him?
Old Master Gu teased.
Gu Rou had been abroad for a long time, so she readily admitted,
I like him.


Then you have to pursue him yourself. I can’t help you with this kid from the Bai family.

Gu Rou was smart. As soon as she heard Grandpa Gu’s words, she knew that he approved of this matter.
Most ordinary families with children in their final year of high school would be getting the children to study hard for college entrance examinations at this time.
But for families like the Bai, Gu, Xiao and Li families, their future had already been arranged from the time they entered high school. Basically, they would go abroad to study after graduation. Bai Zhun was a rare one headed for the military.
He did not seem to have used any of the clout that his family offered, except when it came to doing business. Bai Zhun was not stupid. Since he had such an excellent family background, it would be a waste not to use it.
But when it came to his studies, a university from overseas had already sent him an invitation letter when he just entered high school. They said they were willing to make an exception for him.
Bai Zhun did not go. If he went abroad, what would Ajiu do?
Ajiu did not like western food. She liked steamed buns and white rice.
Bai Zhun was unwilling to let Ajiu suffer with him and he could not bear to leave Ajiu.
The child had followed him around since she was a small child and Bai Zhun had personally taken care of her.
Ajiu was easy to raise. She would eat whatever he fed her. However, Bai Zhun also realized that she could not stand noisy places. If she went to such a place, she would become very listless, unless he accompanied her.
Bai Zhun had thought about how he was going to make sure that he fed and clothed Ajiu well. He wasn’t going to abandon her when she was still so young.
Ajiu had mentioned that she had a mother, but the temple never allowed infants to enter the monastery if she still had parents to take care of her.
