Chapter 1191: Feeling Sorry for Ajiu
Ajiu didn’t know either.
But the first thing the child did when she opened her eyes the next day was to look for Bai Zhun.
Ajiu had always woken up early. After all, the habit she had developed in the temple was to do morning exercises.
Therefore, the Bai Family handed over the job of buying breakfast to her.
Before six in the morning, Ajiu knocked on the Li family’s door. She was wearing her running shoes and a small sports outfit, .
The one who opened the door was Master Li’s grandmother.
Ajiu was very polite. She bowed and said, “Grandma Li, I’m Looking for my little brother.”
In the entire courtyard, Grandma Li’s favorite was Ajiu. Looking at the child’s small face and big Eyes, she exclaimed, “My little baby, your little brother and your brother Li are still sleeping. The two of them must have had some fun on their own yesterday. I didn’t make a noise today.”
“I see.” Ajiu lowered her head in disappointment. The cat’s tail on her head also shook a few times.
Grandma Li felt that there was something wrong with the two children. Usually, when the kid from the Bai Family came, he always brought Ajiu with him. It was a little strange yesterday.
“Ajiu, did you and your little brother quarrel?”
“No.”
Grandma Li raised her eyebrows. “Really?”
“It’s my fault.” The child pouted and said, “I won’t be clingy in the future.”
Grandma Li was confused. “Clingy?”
That kid from the Bai Family didn’t mind Ajiu being clingy. He was extremely worried about her whenever she was not around.
Even Grandma Li, who was so old, had never seen someone raise a child like this. It was simply pampering to the bone.
However, this time, the Bai Family’s kid seemed to find Ajiu clingy. No wonder the child would think this way.
Ajiu did not call Bai Zhun back. She was only a little listless during breakfast.
Her lotus-root-like calves swayed about, and she did not eat much.
She felt that she could not continue her life without Bai Zhun.
After losing her little brother, she felt that it was strenuous to drink soup. This kind of situation had not occured in the temple before.
It must be because she had been relying too much on her little brother.
This was not good.
She was going to be a temple abbot in the future. How could she not be able to do such a small thing?
After thinking it through, Ajiu waved her little paws and finished off the fried youtiaos.
She thought that when it was almost time for school, she would go to the Li Family again. Her little brother had to go to school anyway. Without the driver to send him, how could her little brother go to school?
However, this time, Ajiu’s plan was unsuccessful.
She came over and asked. It turned out that Bai Zhun had already left in the Li Family’s car.
Ajiu was stunned for a while before she climbed into the car by herself. She sat in the back seat empty-mindedly.
When she got out of the car, the other students in the school were also there.
“Why is she here by herself today? Where is Bai Zhun?”
“I heard that she came in another car. It’s really strange. Why is someone else sitting in the car?”
“Keep your voice down! Don’t let her hear you. Bai Zhun doesn’t allow anyone to say such things. Didn’t you watch the live broadcast? Even if this child is adopted, the Bai Family still treats her as their own child. We have to be careful.”
“Of course I watched it. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t have known that the Bai Family is so amazing! It’s really too cool!”
Ajiu listened to the discussions. She carried her little schoolbag and lowered her head to kick the little rocks under her feet.
If it was in the past, she wouldn’t have cared about these words at all.
But she paid particular attention to those words. During dinner time, only Ajiu and Auntie Wan wereg at the dining table. The seat that should have been little brother’s was taken by her. The car that went to school today was also little brother’s.
Bai Zhun was absent when she was at the Bai Family’s house. It was as if she had taken something from little brother.
However, little brother also said that they were family.
If they were family, they should be together.
Ajiu felt that two voices appeared in her mind. This was something that had never happened before.
The white cat above her head narrowed its eyes and meowed.
“Xiao Bai.” Ajiu lifted the little white cat up. “Are you hungry? I’ll feed you snacks during class.”
The child finally diverted her attention and fed her pet. She was muttering to herself during the process. It turned out that she was reciting the scriptures.
Ajiu was reciting the Buddhist language. When she descended the mountain, her master told her to recite the Pure Heart Sutra whenever she encountered a problem.
After reciting it for a while, the little girl stood up. Unfortunately, the bell for class had already rung. It was not suitable for her to go in now, so she automatically stood in the corner to punish herself.
“Ajiu, I’ll secretly watch the teacher for you. Come in,” the classmate by the window whispered to her.
The little girl recited Amitabha. “Don’t do anything wrong. Wuli Buddha will see it.”
Xiao Ajiu stood in the corridor with the little white cat.
The teacher also felt sorry for the child and did not let her go under the sun.
But these things still reached Bai Zhun’s ears.
“Brother, are you really not going to see Xiao Ajiu? I heard that the child was punished by their teacher,” Master Li exaggeratedly described the incident. “That little face is red from the sun. It’s not that you don’t know about Ajiu’s physique. What if she gets sunburned?”
Bai Zhun gripped the pencil in his hand and lowered his head to continue solving the math problem. He didn’t say a word, but his grip became stronger.
Master Li was actually very sleepy.
He felt that Bai Zhun was simply a talent.
He didn’t sleep the whole night and had probably slept for less than two hours at five or six o’clock. Yet, he was able to show up at class at seven thirty in a energetic manner.
Other than that face that was exceptionally cold, it was completely impossible to tell that he had insomnia yesterday. On the contrary, his facial features were charmingly fair.
Unlike him, who started yawning as soon as class started, the math teacher had already glared at him three or four times. If this persisted, the teacher would definitely have to call his parents!
What Master Li was most afraid of was allowing his teacher to talk to his father.
The teacher’s original intention was to let his father have a serious chat with him.
However, when his mother was not around, his father would only chase him around the courtyard and beat him up. This was really a bitter memory.
“Master Bai?” Master Li did not believe that Bai Zhun would not care.
However, it was clear that Bai Zhun had entered a problem-solving state. It was as if he could not listen to anyone’s words.
The mathematics teacher, on the other hand, was a little unlucky.
This was because when he was solving the second problem, Bai Zhun raised his hand and said in an indifferent voice, “Teacher, it’s not the right way to solve this problem.”
The mathematics teacher liked Bai Zhun the most. When he heard that something was wrong, he raised his eyebrows and called Bai Zhun to the podium.
He wanted to teach the kid a lesson so that he would know that even if he was smarter than the teacher in class, he should not directly point out the teacher’s mistakes!
