The Anarchic Consort Chapter 1239 – Bai Zhun’s Disappointment

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.

He had once thought about what would happen if Ajiu fell in love with someone else in the end.

He understood Bai Zhun better than anyone else.

Bai Zhun wouldn’t be able to take it.

For Bai Zhun, Ajiu was not only the person he liked, but also the person who had accompanied him since he was a child.

The more reluctant he was to part with such feelings, the more afraid he would be of losing them.

However, if he really was about to lose them…

He really did not dare to imagine what Bai Zhun would do.

The snowflakes on the field fell one after another.

Bai Zhun did not return home after leaving school. Instead, he went to the dojo where Ajiu used to practice martial arts.

He stood there for an entire afternoon. When he returned to the Bai family, his black hair was covered in snow, and even his eyelashes were covered in snow.

Old Master Gu and Old Master Bai were playing chess in the living room. When they saw him like this, they were all stunned.

“Bai Zhun, what’s wrong with you?”

“Nothing.”

Bai Zhun was holding his school bag with one hand. His head was slightly drooping, and his black hair fell over his face, so no one could see his expression clearly.

Old Master Bai felt that something was not right, but his grandson was older now, so he wasn’t sure what sort of problem it could be.

When Gu Rou heard about this, she begged Auntie Wang to teach her how to make ginger soup so that she could serve it to Bai Zhun.

When Ajiu came back, she saw Gu Rou standing at the door of the room.

She paused and walked to the guest room with the white cat on her back.

Ajiu thought that since it was her brother’s birthday the next day, even if she did not show up, the gift had to be delivered.

There was a message from Gu Cheng on her phone. He made Ajiu promise to buy him breakfast, and he would give her the Alaskan Malamute.

It was just buying breakfast, so Ajiu quickly agreed to this deal.

The next day, at dawn, Ajiu packed her things and left the room.

When she left, the servants had already begun to decorate the venue. No one noticed her, except for Gu Rou, who was scheming in her heart.
