Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

This was the first time Ajiu was eating with an outsider. She just wanted to eat slowly.
It would be bad if others thought that the Bai Family was foodies.
Bai Zhun naturally sat next to her. He mixed the fried pea noodles with laba vinegar before placing it next to Ajiu’s hand. “Eat. Tell me if it’s not enough.”
Ajiu hummed in acknowledgment. She lowered her head and chewed on a portion of the noodles. She ate very cutely.
Gu Rou smiled and said to Chief Bai in a low voice, “Grandpa Bai, have Bai Zhun and Ajiu always had such a good relationship? It’s really too enviable. My cousin and I can’t do it. When I was young, every time I saw him, I wanted to beat him up.”
Hearing this, Chief Bai laughed loudly. “Gu Rou, you don’t understand this kid. At first, when I wanted to go to the mountain to see Ajiu, he wasn’t happy. Later on, it was Ajiu who treated him too well. Only then did this kid know what love is.”
“Up the mountain?” Gu Rou asked in confusion. “Grandpa Bai, why am I a little confused?”
Chief Bai put down the wine cup in his hand. “Ajiu grew up in the temple on the mountain. When she first came to the Bai Family, she was just a little kid, but now she’s getting older and older. Time really doesn’t forgive people.”
What did he mean when she first came to the Bai Family?
Could it be that Ajiu wasn’t a child of the Bai Family?
Gu Rou suddenly paused. Bai Zhun’s incomparably profound gaze appeared in her mind again.
Subtle facial expressions would not lie.
She thought that it was a reaction of a sister-obsessed elder brother rejecting the boys around his sister.
But now…
Gu Rou’s fingers that were holding the bamboo chopsticks suddenly tightened.
Very soon, she let go again.
No wonder he did not have a girlfriend.
So that’s how it was.
How old was he?
What could a twelve-year-old kid know?
Moreover, she had interacted with Bai Zhun so many times.
She knew very well how precocious Bai Zhun was.
There were too many traces of aristocratic families on him. When she was abroad, she had seen his photo. At that time, he had just entered high school when he was accepted by the university there.
It was enough to show how different Bai Zhun was from the other people.
He had been in and out of any place. She had even seen him discuss business with her grandfather. He did not look like a high school student at all. Instead, he was steady and sharp. It was clear that his methods were not very clean.
How could a child like Ajiu understand such a person.
Gu Rou lowered her eyes and drank a mouthful of fruit juice. Her eyes looked at Ajiu who was still eating fried noodles. She smiled gently.
Bai Zhun might have been able to tolerate this child’s clumsiness in the past.
But what about in the future?
They were not the same type of people. They could not be together no matter how hard they tried.
Even if there was a secret love between them, what could they do.
Bai Zhun was seventeen years old.
People at this age were at the stage where they wanted to try everything new, especially boys.
And Ajiu was only twelve years old when she reached the New Year. She was not even considered a young girl.
What would she know?
How long could Bai Zhun endure?
Gu Rou chuckled and picked up another vegetable and put it into her mouth.
Then, she supported her chin with one hand and asked kindly, “Ajiu, is my cousin especially noisy in class?”
“Hey.” Gu Cheng had only eaten a few mouthfuls. He had been watching the interaction between Bai Zhun and Ajiu. Now that he heard Gu Rou mention his name, his eyelids twitched. He still looked very cool.
Ajiu then replied, “He doesn’t make a fuss. He sleeps a lot.”
“You two are really close to one another.” Gu Rou sighed. “You even know what stupid Cheng, this brat, is doing. To be honest, what did you go to the mall for today? Your brother and I saw you both walking hand in hand.”
“Hand in hand?” The person who revealed a surprised expression was old master Bai. He first looked at Gu Cheng, then his gaze fell on Ajiu, as if he was questioning her.
At that time, she was indeed held by Gu Cheng’s wrist, so Ajiu did not say anything. However, she did not want to continue this topic. If that happened, it was very likely that she would be asked about buying a birthday present for her little brother.
So she could only bury her head and continue eating noodles.
Gu Cheng understood Ajiu’s thoughts. He lazily said to Gu Rou, “Sis, can you stop talking? It’s just shopping.”
“You even had to make four or five phone calls before you came out to accompany me to a shopping mall. Do you think it’s cold outside? It’s just a shopping mall. Alright, if you say so, I’ll believe it.”. Gu Rou laughed as she said that. She said to Old Master Gu, “Grandpa, look at your little brother. He’s shy.”
Old Master Gu also laughed loudly. He couldn’t help but look at Ajiu a few more times. He said to old master bai meaningfully, “This grandson of mine treats Ajiu very differently.”
Old Master Bai also laughed, but it was a lot lighter compared to just now, four or two groups of rich people said, “Ajiu has been lovable since she was young. All the brothers in this courtyard like her. That little bully from the Li family and that one from the Xiao family. If there’s anything good to eat or play with, it’s always given to Ajiu first. This child is born this way. It’s not strange for Gu Cheng to be like this.”
Old Master Gu was surprised that old master Bai did not go along with his words. Instead, he pushed away his meaning.
However, thinking about it carefully, the two of them were still young. It was indeed too early to talk about this, so he focused on drinking.
Gu Rou did not ask Ajiu anymore. Instead, she used her elbow to touch Gu Cheng playfully. “Tell me honestly. What did you and Ajiu do at the mall?”
“Nothing, it was just that she…”
Before Gu Cheng could finish his sentence, Ajiu took a bean bun and pushed it into his mouth. “Auntie Wang is very good at making this. Have One.”
Gu Cheng was always smart. He took the bean bun from his mouth and smiled. “Okay.”
This boy was really good at thinking of Ajiu.
The two of them could be considered to have a common secret.
Ajiu ate her food in a low manner and could not help but heave a sigh of relief. If Gu Cheng had said everything just now, then what should she do about the surprise that she had prepared for her little brother?
Fortunately, it was not exposed.
However, she did not know that when Bai Zhun saw this scene, his entire body was practically still. Especially when Ajiu fed the bean bun that he had given her to Gu Cheng, Bai Zhun’s fingers froze.
In his memories, Ajiu would not feed anyone other than him.
But now, she fed a boy, and they had such a tacit understanding.
The fire in the depths of his heart seemed to be able to burn through his entire body.
Sometimes, Bai Zhun always thought that it would be fine if Ajiu did not grow up. If she did not grow up, she would forever belong to him.
However, the reality was that not only had she begun to grow up, she would even leave him one day because of another boy.
Whoosh!
Bai Zhun stood up. His eyes were covered by the loose strands of hair that hung down, only revealing the curvature of his mouth. “I’m going to the kitchen to get something.
