The Anarchic Consort

Ajiu did not know how to make money, but she already had a lot of money in her piggy bank.

She had stuffed a lot of money into her schoolbag when Bai Zhun wasn’t looking so that she could buy a present for him.

But what should she buy?

Ajiu felt troubled for the first time. This was the first time she felt that her brain wasn’t good enough for this.

In the past, she never had to worry about something like this.

Every year on his birthday, he would just kiss her on the top of her head and say that as long as she was by his side, it would be the best gift to him.

But this year was different.

He would turn eighteen after the New Year.

He would become an adult.

She had to give him a gift.

But what should she give him?

Her thoughts kept going round and round like this.

Aha!

Since he smoked, she could give him a lighter.

That way, he didn’t have to stand around in the cold outside with Li Hailou and the rest just to get rid of the cigarette smell after smoking anymore.

After making up her mind, Ajiu sat up straight.

This was the first time the teacher-in-charge had seen a child ask to take leave. This girl was really extremely obedient, and anybody would feel their heart melt they met those large and innocent eyes of hers.

Moreover, Ajiu was definitely an honest girl. When the teacher asked her why she wanted to leave early, she put on a stern face and said seriously, “I need to buy a birthday present for my brother.”

She really did not know how to lie at all. In addition, the entire school knew how close the Bai siblings’ were.

The afternoon class was sports and music. In order to prevent Ajiu from accidentally damaging any sports equipment during her PE class again, the homeroom teacher generously wrote a leave of absence note for her.

She also specifically told her not to come back before PE class ended.

To be honest, every Wednesday was the most dreaded day for the PE teacher.

Because on this day, he had to face a female student who could walk around easily with a shot put ball.

The last time when he let Ajiu throw the shot put, she threw it too far and smashed the window of the principal’s office. The principal had literally grabbed him by the collar and scolded him for a long time. He really… did not want to think about it again!

Fortunately, Ajiu was not here today!

The PE teacher was so touched that he was about to cry. After all, Ajiu had once told him that PE class was her favorite class!

To like it in such a way…the PE teacher couldn’t find it in himself to be happy about it.

Ajiu herself was very happy. She carried the white cat in her arms and walked out of the school.

This was the first time she had gone shopping alone after that year. There was a shopping mall near the school, so she did not have to go too far.

However, what Ajiu didn’t expect was that someone would grab her wrist after she took a few steps.

“I didn’t expect you to skip class.”

It was Gu Cheng. At first, he thought that he had been mistaken. Why was the Little Bean in the mall at this time? He ignored the girl with him and ran after Ajiu to see if it was really her. Now that he was sure it was Ajiu, he turned around and said to the girl with him, “You go back first. I’ll go shopping with her.”

That girl looked at Ajiu angrily, but she didn’t dare to say anything. This was because there was almost no one in this school who didn’t know Bai Zhun doted on his sister. If anyone had a problem with his sister, Bai Zhun would have a problem with that person.

Therefore, the girl was also smart enough to suppress her temper.

“Then let’s eat together another day.” After saying this, she smiled at Ajiu, even though she didn’t mean it.

This was why Gu Cheng liked girls who were older than him. At the very least, they knew when to back off.

What made him curious was why Little Bean would appear here.

“What are you doing in the mall? Aren’t you afraid that the teacher will tell your brother that you skipped class?”

“I took a leave of absence,” Ajiu said as she looked to her side. It was hard to tell what she was looking for.

Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows. He felt that it was really strange that this little girl wasn’t here to eat.

“I found it,” Ajiu said softly and walked to a place that specialized in selling lighters.

Zippo stores like this only existed in large malls. The outer shell of the lighters was basically made of metal, and it felt special to the touch.

Ajiu held the cat in her arms and looked at the lighters hanging on the wall with bright eyes.

Gu Cheng did not expect her to be here specially to buy something like this. “Let’s go, Little Bean. This is not something you can play with.”

Ajiu did not leave. Gu Cheng was once again subject to her herculean strength. He could not pull this girl at all!

“Hello, please give me that pure silver lighter.” Ajiu just let Gu Cheng hold her like that. She looked at the salesperson without moving and smiled. “And the pure black one on the right.”

The salesperson looked at her face. “Young lady, you are still very young. Your friend here is right, you are indeed a little too young to be buying something like this.”

“It’s not for me, it’s for my older brother,” Ajiu said seriously. “These two colors match him best.”

So it was a gift. There was no need to make a fuss then. After all, there were students who came to buy a lighter for their father.

With this thought in mind, the salesgirl took down the two lighters. She was wearing woolen gloves on her hands, as if she was afraid of damaging the body of the lighter. Her movements were very professional.

“Young lady, you’ve got really good taste. These two lighters are this year’s limited edition models. These are the only two in our shop.”

Ajiu looked at the two lighters spread out in front of her. Each one had its own unique features. The silver one was very clean and bright, and the black one had a perfect cutting arc. At a glance, they looked luxurious.

Which one should she choose?

Ajiu only hesitated for a second. The next second, her eyes lit up. “Help me wrap both of them up.”

Since they were both pretty, she was just going to buy them both.

After buying the lighters, she decided to buy a new schoolbag for Bai Zhun as well.

He had been carrying the same bag for a long time now, and even though he still looked cool with that bag, Ajiu found that she had fallen in love with a particular feeling.

She wanted to buy everything she could for her brother!

Ajiu’s state really shocked Gu Cheng.

“Little Bean, are you done? Bai Zhun has so many clothes. You don’t need to buy clothes for him, right?” Gu Cheng ended up becoming her assistant and carried all her shopping bags for her.

Ajiu knew how to take care of those who worked for her. “Gu Cheng, thank you very much. When I’m done buying, I’ll treat you to a big bun! I’ll get you a nice vegetarian one!”

Gu Cheng was speechless. What was so great about treating him to a vegetarian bun? She should at least treat him to hamburgers or something!

Only this girl could would think of treating someone to a bun.

“These clothes are nice.” Ajiu was about to pay the bill.

Gu Cheng stopped her hand. “Come here. Look over there. Is that my cousin and your brother?”
