“I don’t have a face mask!” This time, Li Hailou rejected him very indignantly!
Bai Zhun narrowed his eyes and looked at him for a while. “You don’t have a face mask but you still brought us wine to drink?”
Li Hailou was speechless. Were these two points even connected?
Just as his face still looked doubtful, Bai Zhun stood up, pushed the door open, and said to the outside, “Uncle Li, Hailou stole your wine to drink.”
That voice was not loud at all!
But the person standing downstairs was Li Hailou’s father…
Li Hailou was completely petrified. “Fuck! Bro, you can’t do this! Bai Zhun, you traitor!”
When Li Hailou’s father came upstairs, he was quite calm. His gaze swept across the room and was very dignified. “You, come out.”
Li Hailou lay on the bed and looked as if he was not going out. He shouted, “I didn’t drink much. If you don’t believe me, ask Xiao Lin. It was both of them who drank!”
In fact, that was indeed the case.
However, Xiao Lin was the most convincing one among them. Long before Li Hailou got on his case, this fellow took an English book and held it in his hand. “Hailou, you can’t blame us for your wrongdoing. We are here to tutor you, have you forgotten?”
Li Hailou glared at him. “Tutor my ass!”
“Shut up!” Li Hailou’s father pulled his son’s ear and turned to Xiao Lin with an amiable smile. “Lin, Zhun, both of you wait here for a while. After I’m done teaching this brat a lesson, I’ll bring him up.”
“Okay, Uncle. Please do as you wish.”
Li Hailou cursed in his heart. He had been wronged! Why was he the only one who looked like he had drunk alcohol!! Where was justice when he needed it!
“You brat, you learn all the bad things! How old are you? How could you steal wine to drink?!”
This day passed by in such a chaotic manner.
Bai Zhun didn’t know when he fell asleep.
At that time, he still didn’t understand what it felt like to have an empty heart.
What made Li Hailou feel relieved was that at least after drinking, Bai Zhun didn’t end up gaming all night.
It was almost 10 o’clock when the three friends were all fast asleep on the floor.
“Since you have a bed, why do you sleep on the floor?” When Li Hailou’s mother came to deliver a fruit platter, she looked at the three youths and shook her head with a smile.
Li Hailou’s father watched from the side. “You don’t understand this. I was like this when I was young. Our son has finally grown up, but his sleeping position is terrible. When I see him, my hands feel really itchy.”
His sleeping position was indeed terrible. Among the three of them, Li Hailou was the only one whose body was actually facing the wrong direction.
Bai Zhun was the last one to sleep. He even covered the other two with a thin blanket.
The Li couple watched from the outside. “Does this child have something on his mind?”
“Huh? I’m not sure. Is there something wrong?” Li Hailou’s father was just that slow-witted.
“You always say that your son is asking for a beating. You’re no better. When have you ever seen Zhun like this? He’s never stayed at other someone else’s home, besides the year that happened.”
“Hmm, come to think of it, you’re right.”
Mrs Li was speechless. She glanced at the man beside her who was only good looking but brainless and let out a long sigh. “Why did my son’s IQ follow yours?”
“What’s wrong with following me? It’s good for getting the girls.”
Mrs Li laughed for a while when she heard that, then she said, “Over the past year, I thought that Bai Zhun had gotten over it. After all, he has become much more cheerful. Brother Bai and Sister Luo are no longer around, and I only come back occasionally. Keep an eye on Zhun. If you notice anything, talk to him more.”
“I… Talk to Zhun?” Li Hailou’s father really didn’t believe in his own abilities. “I’ll go to the Bai family tomorrow to ask what’s going on?”
“That’s fine too…”
However, while they were talking, none of them knew that the next day, when it was about five o’clock in the morning, little Ajiu was already preparing to return to the mountain.
Just as the rooster in the courtyard crowed, little Ajiu went out with her small turtle-shell schoolbag and a little white cat on her head.
Auntie Wang had not gotten up to make breakfast. Logically speaking, an ordinary child would not have been able to push open the door of the Bai house. However, little Ajiu had never been an ordinary child.
When the door opened, little Ajiu quietly left the Bai house. When she passed through the courtyard, the breakfast in the dining hall had just been prepared. She could smell the smell of steamed buns from afar.
Little Ajiu hesitated for a long time between the two options of “go buy ten steamed buns” and “leave earlier”.
In the end, she touched her small belly and chose the former.
“If you want to go back to the mountain, you have to bring enough food along,” little Ajiu said to the white cat on top of her head in a childish voice. “Otherwise, you will be hungry on the way.”
The white cat meowed and wagged its tail behind the little girl’s head.
There was no one in the canteen. After all, it was a little too early for breakfast at five o’clock.
“Little Ajiu, are you here to buy breakfast again?”
The steamed bun chef obviously knew the child.
Little Ajiu nodded. “I want ten steamed buns this time. Uncle, can you help me wrap them with paper?”
Paper?
The uncle who bought the steamed buns looked around and said to the little girl at the window, “Wait for a while.”
He found some paper, wrapped the buns up, and put them all in a bag.
Little Ajiu took the bag, put one in her mouth, and walked out of the canteen with her short legs.
There was no traffic jam at this time.
However, there were no buses around the military compound.
Little Ajiu first looked left and right, then according to her memory, she chose the right direction.
After walking for a long distance, she finally saw some cars. At this time, the people had also begun to come out. When they saw such a small child walking on the street, they couldn’t help but turn their heads to look.
Little Ajiu was very cute to begin with. She wore a small monk’s robe, and her big eyes were very clear. In addition, she had a big steamed bun in her mouth, and there was a white cat resting above her head. She was practically a doll that had walked out of a comic.
“I remember the bus didn’t pass through this place,” the little girl said to herself as she walked to the right.
There was a small open space on the other side, and many people were exercising there.
The little girl walked over and looked curiously.
The adults exercising there were also looking at her, wondering why there wasn’t an adult following behind this child.
Little Ajiu held the big steamed bun with her two little hands and asked with a serious face, “Grandpa, do you know how to get to the bus stop?”
“Bus stop?” The old man paused and asked patiently, “Little girl, which bus stop are you looking for?”
“The bus stop that can go back to the mountain.” Little Ajiu squatted there as she spoke, like a little turtle. “Does Grandpa know?”
The old man frowned. “The mountain? Little girl, why do you want to go to the mountain?”
“I’m going back to ask my master some questions,” little Ajiu said as she fiddled with the strap on her little schoolbag. She looked very cute when she was serious.
