Bai Zhun’s fingers paused as he took the notebook. “You want to leave a comment? What do you want to say? I’ll help you write it.”
“I saw a lot of fans leave comments saying that they like him very, very much.” Little Ajiu tilted her big head and leaned against Bai Zhun. Her big round eyes were bright as she stared at the screen and said, “Big Brother, just write that I will always like and support you.”
Always? Like?
When Bai Zhun heard these words, his finger struck the keyboard even harder than before.
“Here, write that this is from Ajiu.” Her lotus-like little arms poked at the Weibo post and she looked very cute.
However, all Bai Zhun saw were those two words. After he typed in the comments, he did not hit the post b.u.t.ton. Instead, he glanced sideways at the little person in his arms, and his tone was very gentle as he starting counselling her the same way he used to, “Entertainment companies have plenty of artistes like him, and you only get to see the surface of these celebrities. Ajiu, I don’t object to you following after celebrities, but there has to be a limit to following them. You have been staring at this person’s Weibo since just now. You even forgot to brush your teeth and take a shower. Even if you like him very much….” Bai Zhun paused here, as if he was trying to endure something. Then he went on, “Even if you really like him, you shouldn’t let him affect your daily life. Moreover, are you sure that he’s as good as he seems? Entertainment companies are very good at packaging these people. You don’t even know what his true side looks like. It’s too hasty for you to say that you like him.”
If this happened in the past, the little girl in his arms would immediately put down the mouse and chant Amitabha. Then, she would sincerely pray to Buddha and admit her mistake.
However, things didn’t turn out that way.
Not only did little Ajiu not listen to him, she even looked at him very seriously. Her small face also became serious, and she sounded defensive. “Even if I haven’t seen him in person, I know that he is different from other celebrities. He is him.”
This was the first time Ajiu actually refuted him.
And she had said it so righteously too.
Bai Zhun could not describe what he felt in his heart. He always thought that he was the most important person in Ajiu’s heart.
But now he realized that he was mistaken.
He had seen her behave like this before.
It was not long after Ajiu arrived here, and he had taken her shopping. Li Hailou had said nasty things about Baili Shangxie and Ajiu threatened to bash Li Hailou up.
Did she like that celebrity that much?
Bai Zhun looked to the side and saw that the little girl was still staring at the screen of the laptop.
He was instantly enraged.
“Since you’re already so disobedient, why do you need me here?”
Bai Zhun flung the laptop onto the bed. He slammed the door and walked out.
Little Ajiu still did not understand what just happened. She sat up straight.
Had she been disobedient?
Little Ajiu did not know if that was the problem, but she knew that it was her fault that this entire incident happened.
She had also heard from Li Hailou that Bai Zhun had done a lot of things for her and had put in a lot of effort.
Was it because she had been disobedient?
Little Ajiu thought about the comments on Weibo that had scolded her. Some people had said that having a sister like her was a burden.
She wondered if she was really like those people who said that she was too clingy to Baizhun. It was already so late, yet she still asked him to help her write a comment. Bai Zhun would normally be asleep by this time, and she would be the one staring at the computer.
But she wanted to look at her eldest brother more.
Her eldest brother seemed to have grown taller. When she touched his photos on the screen, she felt really happy.
After understanding about Weibo, she wanted to leave a comment for her brother. She should have waited until tomorrow to post it. Why was she in such a hurry?
Little Ajiu tilted her head and raised her little fist to hit her big head. “Stupid Ajiu.”
As she said this, the child stood up and ran downstairs.
Bai Zhun had already disappeared by this time.
That night, Little Ajiu slept alone. She looked around and touched the s.p.a.ce around her, but there was no one there, so she could only sit up and cross her legs to meditate.
After some time had pa.s.sed, she looked outside. The sky had not yet brightened, but Old Master Bai had woken up.
She went to ask Old Master Bai, “Grandpa Bai, where did Big Brother go?”
“Don’t bother about that kid. I don’t know why he went crazy and insisted on staying at the Li house for a few days. He even said he didn’t want anyone to go looking for him.” Old Master Bai slept very little and was a very light-sleeper. “Come, Ajiu, sit here and talk to Grandpa. Did anything interesting happen in school recently?”
Little Ajiu thought for a while with a stern look on her face, because she felt that this question needed to be answered seriously. “Every day is very interesting. It’s just that those people are too weak and I can’t spar with them. The teacher also told me not to beat people up all the time and to be reasonable with them. But I don’t like to be reasonable. I just like chanting scriptures and beating people up.”
Old Master Bai was amused by the little girl’s seriousness. “You must listen to your teacher, and you have to hold it in even if you feel like beating people up.”
“I know that. So I’ve become very amiable now.” The little girl was wearing her tiger pajamas and spun about on the sofa. “But Grandpa, won’t Big Brother find it difficult to sleep elsewhere? He needs to hug something to sleep.”
Old Master Bai raised his eyebrows when he heard that. “Hug something to sleep?” Since when did his grandson have this habit?
“Uh huh!” Little Ajiu nodded heavily.
Old Master Bai could not help but smile. “Little Ajiu, I might be a lot older than your Big Brother, but when he decides to be stubborn, even his parents couldn’t stop him. He had walked out of the house angrily just now, so even if Grandpa goes to the Li house, he might not come back with Grandpa. He has to sort himself out first. So let’s wait, alright?”
“Okay.” Little Ajiu sat there and closed her eyes.
Old Master Bai was just about to carry the little girl back to her room when he heard little Ajiu say, “Grandpa, we’ve already waited for a minute. Let’s go look for him now.”
Old Master Bai burst out laughing and used his large palm to stroke the little girl’s head. “Little Ajiu, not everyone can sort their feelings out so quickly like you do. Most people are immersed in their own thoughts for a long time, and sometimes it’s difficult to get out of their own emotions. They need to think through a lot of things and we need to give them time to do that. Do you understand?”
“Understood.” After Little Ajiu said that, she said, “Wuli Buddha said that this is called obsession. Having an obsession means that you care.”
Old Master Bai was shocked. “Master once said that you have the fate of Buddha. I understand it now. What you said is right. It is precisely because one cares, so one becomes obsessed.”
But this time, Ajiu felt that Bai Zhun was angry not because of an obsession, but because she had been disobedient.
Little Ajiu turned and glanced towards Li Hailou’s house. Her little head drooped down, and the little tail of her pajamas swept the stairs as she walked back step by step.
Old Master Bai looked at the little girl’s lonely looking back view and thought about how his grandson had slammed the door shut just now. Had these two children quarreled?
