The Anarchic Consort c1-1376

by Warring Young Seven

  He knew that it was not only Li Hailou who was looking at him. Even Bai Zhun was looking at him.

  Helian Qingchen curled his thin lips. The effect was not bad.

  In short, it was a very beautiful morning. Although Helian Qingchen had been reprimanded by the teacher for not bringing his textbook to school during the first lesson, it didn't affect his mood.

  It was different for Ajiu's deskmate. Gu Cheng leaned against his arms and stuck his legs out to block Ajiu's way. He was clearly trying to make things difficult for her.

  "Little Bean, you've never brought me breakfast."

  When he said this, Gu Cheng was smiling, but there was no joy in his eyes.

  Ajiu also said straightforwardly, "Give me your Alaskan Malamute and I'll buy you breakfast."

  "Little Bean, so you actually know how to negotiate?" Gu Cheng couldn't help but laugh. "But you're really good. It's obvious that your brother and that Helian Qingchen don't see eye to eye, but you're still so nice to Helian Qingchen. No wonder even my cousin is angry. Speaking of which, your brother and my cousin's relationship is moving pretty fast. When I was at school today, I even saw your family's car at the entrance of No. 2 High School. Now that my cousin is staying at your house, it seems that my grandfather and your grandfather have high hopes for the two of them. Oh right, you didn't continue to be their third wheel, right?"

  Ajiu did not say anything. Instead, she turned on her phone and looked at the message her Second Brother sent her. It was a selfie of him eating a steamed bun, and there were two words attached to it: "So yummy."

  Ajiu suddenly felt that no matter what Gu Cheng said, she would not feel upset.

  Gu Cheng also saw the photo. He did not know why, but he actually felt a little annoyed. "Why does he have to send you a message even when he's eating?"

  Ajiu ignored him.

  "Oh right, tomorrow is your brother's birthday. I heard from my cousin that he will invite a lot of people. His group of high school friends want to throw a party on their own. You can be with me then. You are too young, and your brother always has to worry about whether his friends will teach you the wrong thing, and..." Gu Cheng paused for a moment before continuing, "The two elders seem like they intend to set up an engagement between my cousin and your brother. When the time comes, the one who will be giving a toast beside Bai Zhun will definitely be my cousin. There are so many a.d.u.l.ts, and it will not be convenient for Bai Zhun to bring you along."

  Engagement?

  Ajiu stopped typing her reply.

  How could she have forgotten?

  Her brother was not like her. He could get married.

  Ajiu had never thought about what it would be like for her brother to get married.

  However, she was very clear that her brother had always wanted a family.

  If he got married, he would have a family.

  However, she did not seem to be able to accompany her brother anymore.

  If that happened again, it would become her fault for not being sensible.

  She didn't like being like that.

  Ajiu suddenly thought of the birthday gifts that she had prepared a long time ago.

  There was also the issue of the dishes for the birthday banquet that they had discussed.

  Since it was so difficult, she might as well not participate.

  Just like how she settled today's breakfast, she could always go to Second Brother's place for breakfast in the future.

  Oh, and also for lunch and dinner...

  With this thought in mind, her c.h.e.s.t no longer felt so stuffy.

  After making up her mind, Ajiu deleted the message she had already typed halfway to Helian Qingchen and wrote a new one.

  "Second Brother, I want to sleep with you tomorrow."

  Helian Qingchen looked at the message on his phone and frowned. Then, he replied seriously, "You can stay at my place until twelve o'clock. After twelve o'clock, I must send you back to the Bai house."

  "Then I will stay until twelve o'clock." Ajiu typed while muttering, "At noon, we can eat together, then we'll have dinner at night too."

  Helian Qingchen smiled and replied with one word, "Definitely."

  Ajiu was happy and began to think about what to eat for lunch.

  An average person wouldn't be able to outrun Ajiu.

  As long as Ajiu ate at school, she would always be the first to appear at the food selection window.

  It was the same today. The teachers from the third year of high school were still emphasizing the important points to remember today as well as the range of questions in the college entrance exams over the years.

  The students from the junior high school department had already walked out of the classroom with quick steps. Everyone's common goal was the canteen.

  There were also people who ate outside the school, and there were also people who ordered takeout. However, most people still chose to eat at school. After all, the food at No. 1 High School was famous in the education world. It was delicious, cheap, and there were many types of food to choose from.

  She knew that her Second Brother liked to eat white rice just like her, so she went ahead and bought six boxes and a lot of stir-fried vegetables. In total, there were ten lunch boxes, all of which were carried by her.

  This small number of lunch boxes would definitely be difficult for others to carry, but for Ajiu, it was no sweat. Along the way, she even stopped and helped a weaker senior to carry a large container of water...

  Chapter 1238 - The Best Lookers of the School Should Be Together

  The third year students had finally finished their classes.

  Ajiu did not run into Bai Zhun and the others, who were walking towards the other end.

  Holding a lunchbox, she waited outside. Her small face was fierce, and her appearance was serious and cute. Her big eyes lit up when she saw Helian Qingchen walking out.

  Helian Qingchen had just finished eating his ten steamed cabbage buns, and he was still stuffed.

  However, when he saw his sister, he was very happy. His already good-looking face revealed a bright smile that could make anybody's heart beat faster.

  The students at the side had become fangirls in minutes. They couldn't help but reach out to hold onto their own faces.

  "I want to switch sides! I want to re-select my Prince Charming!"

  "I thought I was already very lucky to have Bai Zhun in 3A. I didn't expect to see an even better looking person. Oh my god, is there a minute when he doesn't smile?! My heart! My heart!"

  Helian Qingchen walked past these students and walked towards his own little sister. He stretched out his hand and patted Ajiu's head. The intimate action was almost subconscious.

  Ajiu loved being patted on the head by her Second Brother the most. Her eyes also smiled. When she tilted her small head, she really looked like a small tiger.

  However, she also looked a little troubled.

  "I originally wanted to buy five more buns, but then I wouldn't have been able to help someone else to carry water for her. If I had known earlier, I would have used my head to balance them. What if these things weren't enough to eat?"

  Helian Qingchen glanced at the ten lunch boxes and coughed lightly. "Don't worry, it's enough."

  "Really?" Ajiu raised her head and said very seriously, "Second Brother doesn't have to help me to save money. I've kept all the pocket money you've given me over the years. I can buy a lot more."

  Helian Qingchen immediately said, "It's really enough. I'm definitely not trying to save you money here."

  He knew that when their family members were growing up, they always ate a lot.

  His brother always wanted to tear any human he saw up and gobble them down. It was a problem he had since he was a child.

  He grew up pretty normally. It was only during junior high that he started to act up.

  Ajiu was like her brothers in this aspect.

  Just that one ate humans and was carnivorous, while the other only ate vegetaria
n meals.

  But they were all bottomless pits. It was true that it took a lot of money to feed them.

  Ajiu did not know what her second brother was thinking about. Her eyes were still searching for a place to go for lunch.

  Helian Qingchen had already reached out to take the lunchbox she was holding and brought her into the classroom.

  He was a new transfer and didn't have a deskmate.

  At this time, most of the students had gone to the cafeteria. Of course, there would also be people bringing food to the classroom to eat. Either way, sitting in the classroom wouldn't affect anybody.

  Ajiu sat down with her second brother. The cat's tail was wagging above her head.

  She put half of the rice and vegetables on the lunchbox lid for the cat, then she fed herself a mouthful of rice and made tasty noises as she ate.

  Helian Qingchen looked at her from the side and rolled up her sleeves with a smile.

  It was just like how his elder brother had rolled up his sleeves for him when he was a child.

  A girl who brought lunch back into the classroom tried hard not to look, but after a while, she couldn't take it anymore. She snapped a photo of them and posted it on social media.

  "God, how are they so sweet together?!"

  Soon, this post received a lot of retweets and comments.

  When Li Hailou saw this post, he was about to buy something to eat with Bai Zhun when he immediately changed his mind. "Ah, how about this? Since there's still a lot of time, let's eat outside the school?"

  "I don't want to go out." Bai Zhun had already walked to the window.

  Xiao Lin also saw that post and immediately pulled him back. "How about going to eat that very popular steamed bun? You could order something that's freshly steamed and even buy something back for Ajiu, right?"

  Other than rice, Ajiu's favorite food was hot steamed buns.

  Obviously, Bai Zhun was persuaded by Xiao Lin. He retracted his long legs and said, "Let's go."

  Xiao Lin and Li Hailou looked at each other. Sure enough, only mentioning Ajiu could change Bai Zhun's mind.

  The steamed buns at the school gate were indeed delicious. The couple who manned the stall was very particular about the dough they used and never added anything unnecessary. Every bun was hand-rolled and steamed, plus the skin was thin and the filling was generous.

  It was very cold outside the school. They would definitely have to line up for a long time since they came at lunchtime.

  Li Hailou shook his head. "This really doesn't seem like the Master Bai who cherishes time like his life."

  Bai Zhun had always been a very well-organized person since he was a child. His self-discipline had always been excellent.

  For him, this was probably the only time he would waste his time waiting in line.

  Xiao Lin put one hand in his pocket and pushed up the glasses on his face. "That's why I said, when it comes to taking care of Ajiu, I'll never be able to compare to him."

  Li Hailou was dumbfounded when he heard that. "He's family, and you're just a friend. Of course, you can't compare."

  Xiao Lin looked at him and was very upset. "How should I put it? Hailou, sometimes I really don't know what to use to save your EQ."

  "Get lost!" Li Hailou gave Xiao Lin a kick.

  Seventeen-year-olds liked to bicker and fight along the streets.

  It was as if this was the only way to experience the purest form of youth.

  The students of No. 1 High School all knew that the almighty prince of the school Bai Zhun liked to wear a mask over his mouth when it was winter.

  However, with his long legs and narrow waist, his silhouette alone was outstanding. Ordinary things like a face mask became bonus points for Bai Zhun.

  Many people were moved by his pitch-black eyes.

  Bai Zhun really had a face that could attract attention wherever he went. Even if he wore a pure black mask, it would not damage his aura. Instead, it would make him look cool.

  "Eh? Gu Rou, why aren't you moving?" A girl bumped into Gu Rou. After seeing Bai Zhun across the road, she laughed. "I was wondering why you weren't walking anymore. So you've caught sight of your sweetheart."

  Gu Rou looked at his back view, then tugged at her classmate. "Don't talk nonsense. He might overhear you."

  "So what if he does?" The girl continued, "You're the school belle of our high school. The best lookers of the school ought to be together. Besides, your families know each other. Also...We all saw how you came to school today. You came in the Bai family's car. Spit it out! Were you sent to school by Bai Zhun or not?"

  Gu Rou didn't deny it. Instead, her face turned red. "I told you not to talk nonsense. Why are you still talking!"

  "Alright, alright, I won't talk anymore. Let's go and look for them. Since we've spotted them, let's have a meal together!"

  Chapter 1239 - Bai Zhun's Disappointment

  If it were any other time, Gu Rou would definitely agree.

  However, she was smart for knowing when to stop.

  This was also why sometimes Gu Rou avoided mentioning Bai Zhun when she talked. She knew Bai Zhun didn't like being provoked.

  Fortunately, Gu Cheng did not know anything. He thought that she and Bai Zhun were really together and helped her quietly.

  But at the same time, Gu Rou knew very well that if she went too far with certain things, the gains would not make up for the losses.

  "What are we eating? Let's avoid them. Let's go shopping for a while. You guys can accompany me to pick out a gift for tomorrow."

  The girl suddenly understood when she heard that. "I was wondering why you dragged us out shopping today. So you want to buy a birthday gift for Bai Zhun! You're buying it in secret just to give him a surprise?"

  Gu Rou smiled. "Of course, birthday presents should be kept a secret."

  "Gu Rou, bring us to his birthday party too, won't you? Xiaoqing is Hailou's girlfriend anyway, so Bai Zhun shouldn't mind."

  Gu Rou patted her hand. "We definitely have to invite you guys. For this, we've even arranged a small private party so that we can have fun together!"

  "We?" The girl laughed. "Gu Rou, could it be that you and Bai Zhun planned this birthday party together?"

  Gu Rou nudged her. "You're talking nonsense again. My grandfather and Bai Zhun's grandfather are old friends. Grandpa will be staying at the Bai house for the next two days because he wants to meet up with his old friends. Bai Zhun's coming of age ceremony is no small matter, so my grandfather came up with the idea. How can I make such a decision?"

  "Did I hear you wrongly?! You're actually staying at his house?!" The girl nudged her. "Tell me honestly, did anything happen between the two of you?"

  Gu Rou blushed and did not say anything. She was very clear on when the best time to make an expression was.

  As for whether or not other people would misunderstand, that had nothing to do with her.

  As she expected, the two girls beside her widened their eyes. "Looks like there's progress. Heavens, even though it's you, Gu Rou, but just thinking about that scene makes me so jealous. Bai Zhun has never allowed any girl to get close to him before!"

  "Don't ask me anymore. I'm going to buy a gift. Buy a gift!"

  The more Gu Rou changed the topic, the more imaginative the two girls became. They giggled as they held Gu Rou's hand. Since they were going to attend Bai Zhun's birthday party, it was definitely not good to go empty-handed. They had to pick out some gifts too!

  Across the road, Bai Zhun had already bought the buns. It was only when he entered the school that he remembered that Ajiu had sent him a message this morning, saying that she would settle lunch herself this afternoon.

  He had just acted based on his instinct. He only focused on buying something she liked and completely forgot that she had sent him this message earlier.

  Bai Zhun looked down at the steaming vegetable buns in his hands and sent a message to Ajiu.

  "Are you eating now?"

  When Ajiu
saw the message, both of her cheeks were stuffed with rice. She put down her food in one hand to reply, "Yes." After thinking about it, she added, "I've eaten a lot. Big Brother, don't worry about me."

  It would be a lie to say that Bai Zhun wasn't disappointed. Bai Zhun replied, "Eat more. I'll pick you up after class."

  "No need." Ajiu typed seriously, "I'll eat out tonight too. I'll go back after I finish my homework."

  She had this idea when she went back yesterday. However, after what happened in the morning, Ajiu was even more sure of her own thoughts.

  In the future, if she could eat outside, she would eat outside. It would also save her from having others accommodate her.

  Moreover, with Second Brother here, she would definitely have to eat together with Second Brother for the next few days.

  On the other side, Bai Zhun looked at the last message and the picture that appeared on his social media account. He stopped in his tracks and only felt that the buns in his palm were hot to the touch.

  He looked at one of the people in the picture who was smiling faintly. The other person was tilting her head with complete trust. His eyes felt like they stung.

  "Master Bai, why aren't you leaving?" Li Hailou reached out and placed his hand on his shoulder. Naturally, he saw Bai Zhun's phone screen too. His smile immediately froze and he immediately turned around to give Xiao Lin a look.

  Before Xiao Lin could say anything, Bai Zhun placed all the buns in his hand into their arms. "Throw them away or eat them. It's up to you."

  "Hey, Bai Zhun!"

  No matter how much Li Hailou called out, he couldn't get Bai Zhun to come back. He lowered his eyes and looked at the steaming hot buns.

  He knew that Bai Zhun was upset.

  After waiting in line for more than twenty minutes, this was the result.

  Why did Ajiu have to act like this?

  Li Hailou said dejectedly, "What do we do now?"

  "Eat." Xiao Lin's eyes also darkened. He was rather worried about Bai Zhun.

  Because, even he could feel that Ajiu treated Helian Qingchen differently, never mind Bai Zhun, who was most familiar with Ajiu.
