The Anarchic Consort
chapter-1202

The more Bai Zhun listened, the deeper his brows furrowed.

"Alright, stop thinking about it. Since you helped Little Ajiu delete these photos, you must be trying to protect Ajiu." Chief Bai looked at his grandson, who had been more mature than his peers since he was young. After some thought, he opened the drawer, he took out a form and said, "This is the information for this year's military enlistment. The youngest is only sixteen years old. You should know that, upon reaching the age, one of the children from either the Tang family or the Bai family must enlist in the military. You've told Grandpa before that you want to be a soldier. It's time to tell you this so that you can be mentally prepared."

Bai Zhun took the form and said in a faint voice, "I'm still in junior high school. Isn't it a little too early for me to make preparations?"

Chief Bai sighed and looked at him meaningfully. "Grandpa wants you to be prepared to leave Ajiu for at least three years."

Hearing this, Bai Zhun suddenly froze.

Seeing his grandson's reaction, Chief Bai shook his head, he continued, "When you graduate from high school, you can't bring Ajiu to the military camp. Think about it carefully. If you say you're giving up now, I'll help you return this application."

As he said this, Chief Bai stood up.

In fact, he didn't want to send his grandson to that army.

Should he say it was a coincidence?

If it was not for that live broadcast.

Bai Zhun might not have been chosen by the most secretive army in China. Once he was chosen, no one could change it.

That was the army that all soldiers wanted to go to.

As a leader, he was very happy that his grandson was chosen.

However, as an old man, he knew very well what kind of mission that army was carrying out.

It was a life rife with danger.

Now, he had placed this choice in Bai Zhun's hands.

If his grandson didn't want to go, he had to think of a way to fulfill his wish, even if it would embarrass him and jeopardize his military rank.

However, what Chief Bai didn't expect was that a sentence came from behind him. "Keep this application. When I graduate from high school, I'll fill it out. I'll do whatever I can to promise father."

Of course, Chief Bai knew why Bai Zhun would say such a thing.

The child's parents died before he was born.

His son, who had made him proud all his life, always said to Bai Zhun, "Son, promise father one thing. The Bai Family should be born in the military camp. You should do the same. When you grow up, you must join the military. Father will protect the country, and you will protect the family. Do you understand?"

"Okay." At that time, Bai Zhun was much more cheerful than he was now. His voice was also very clear. He held his father's military hat and punched his father's fist like a man.

It was as if he was fulfilling the promise he had made back then.

When others were planning which high school or university they would enter in the future, Bai Zhun had already decided that he would join the military in the future.

If Ajiu did not appear, he might go when he was sixteen years old.

But now he had to watch the child grow up a little more before he could leave with peace of mind.

Bai Zhun came out of the study and looked at the bedroom that was one door away from him. He first steadied the emotions in his eyes before pushing the door open and walking in.

The moment he opened the door, he saw that Ajiu had already put on her dark yellow little tiger pajamas. She was doing a little somersault on the bed with her tail up.

This was an entertainment that children often did when they were waiting for Bai Zhun to arrive on time. Her cute little face was always exposed, and there was a single strand of hair standing on top of her hair. She looked very cute.

Bai Zhun then walked over and pulled the little girl up. He fixed her hair for her. "Does your arm still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore." Little Ajiu shook her little head and sat in Bai Zhun's arms.

Bai Zhun smiled. "Do you want to listen to a story?"

"If I say I want to listen to a story, Will you find it troublesome?" Ajiu asked seriously.

Bai Zhun lowered his eyes and kissed her little head. "No, I will be happy."

Ajiu was happy. Her soft little hand poked the book and said very seriously, "At this point last time, little brother, continue to tell me. Ajiu, try not to sleep this time. Wait for little brother to sleep first, then I will sleep!"

Bai Zhun was amused by her behavior. He reached out his hand and wrapped his arms around the small body in his arms. His voice was pleasant as he read the English in the book. There was also Chinese in it. It was very slow and deep, anyone could hear the gentleness in it.

The soft light by the bedside shone on the side of the youth's face. Bai Zhun read the book in front of Ajiu patiently. It was not until Ajiu could not help but tilt her small head on his shoulder that Bai Zhun stopped smiling. Just as he turned off the wall lamp, he heard Ajiu say in a daze, "Little brother, don't be angry with me. I will be obedient in the future. If you don't like Ajiu using Weibo, I will just stop using it. Oh, when Ajiu grows up and becomes a temple abbot, I will give you half of the incense money. I won't give it to you more of course. Other people want it from me, but I won't give it to them. Also, the pancakes today were really delicious. I thought that when I saw you again, it would be a long, long time later. When you came to look for me, I was very, very happy! "

The child's vocabulary had yet to reach a certain level, so she could only rely on her tone to express her thoughts.

With that, the little person started to snore in his arms, not giving Bai Zhun any time to react.

Bai Zhun smiled and reached out to brush away the child's short hair, which was covered in a layer of sweat.

It seemed that the child was tired today.

Bai Zhun finally understood why he had been so frustrated with everything he had done these past two days. The more he forced himself to sleep, the clearer his mind became.

It was all because he had lost such an important person in his arms.

He did not know how it started, but he had already formed a habit.

Maybe grandpa was right. He had to start making preparations.

As he thought, he lowered his head and kissed Ajiu's little head. Then, he closed his eyes. His arm had never left the little pillow in his arms.

Sleeping finally became something that could make him relax.

However, when he fell asleep, for some reason, the originally burning wound actually felt a trace of a comfortable coolness.

This made Bai Zhun open his eyes in confusion. He saw the little person rubbing her big eyes with her palm. She was sitting on the edge of the bed, sticking out her little body and blowing cool air to his left hand.

Bai Zhun looked at this scene, and his heart felt incredibly warm. He reached out and hugged Ajiu tightly in his arms. "Be good, I don't feel pain. Go and sleep now."

"I saw you move," Little Ajiu said with her big eyes. "Don't try to be brave. If it hurts, you can just tell me. Buddha said that it won't hurt with a blow."

Bai Zhun didn't say anything further. Instead, he hugged the little girl in his arms even tighter.

He thought that incense money alone wouldn't be enough. What he wanted... was her.
