Zhou Sileng refused. He furrowed his brows. “I don’t want to call her auntie. I want to call her Bai Qi, Bai Qi!” Zhou Sileng winked at Bai Qi mischievously.
Bai Qi’s heart was like a feather gently gliding across the surface of the lake. She gently patted Zhou Sileng’s head. “Auntie, it’s alright. It’s just a form of address.”
“You naughty brat.” Mother Zhou tapped Zhou Sileng’s nose lovingly. Then she looked at Bai Qi. “Miss Bai, are you going back now? We’re going back too. I’ll get the driver to send you back.”
“No need, Auntie…”
“Bai Qi, don’t go!” Zhou Sileng quickly hugged Bai Qi’s leg. He thought for a moment and quickly said, “Bai Qi, tomorrow is the weekend. I’m very interested in the martial arts you performed. Can you teach me at my house?”
“Umm…” Bai Qi hesitated.
“Bai Qi, I’ll get my dad to pay you. You’re working anyway. It’s better to teach me than to teach others. When I learned martial arts, those kids in school won’t dare to bully me anymore.” Zhou Sileng raised his little fist as he spoke.
“Sileng, there are kids who bully you in school?” Bai Qi asked gently.
“Mmm, they bully me because I don’t have a mommy.” Zhou Sileng looked sad.
Bai Qi felt as if her heart was being squeezed tightly by a large palm. Every breath she took was painful. She looked at Zhou Sileng with love and compassion. How sad is it for a kid to lose his mother…
“Sileng, I can teach you some self-defense skills this weekend. But…” Bai Qi asked for Mother Zhou’s permission, “Auntie, is it ok to teach at your house?”
Mother Zhou saw right through Zhou Sileng’s little tricks. If he wanted to learn martial arts, his daddy would be a readily available teacher. Only he had the honor of asking his daddy to teach him, step by step, but he had never wanted to learn.
Now that he wanted to learn, it’s with this Ms. Bai before them. Mother Zhou knew that Zhou Sileng liked this Ms. Bai.
What bullying in school? Last time, he took down four kids all by himself. He didn’t suffer any loss at all. Nobody dared to cross him anymore. He’s only trying to gain sympathy.
Clever little brat.
Mother Zhou’s heart ached. Zhou Sileng had lacked motherly love since he was young, and his personality was more or less like his parents. He was very cold and did not get close to the kids at school. Now that there’s a teacher that he liked, how could Mother Zhou bear to reject him?
Mother Zhou looked at Bai Qi’s beautiful gray eyes. This woman’s eyes, and figure were all too similar to… Zhiyuan. If it was not for this unfamiliar face, Mother Zhou would almost have an illusion.
She also had a natural favorable impression of Bai Qi.
“Ms. Bai, it’s ok to teach at my house. Sileng is the only child, and he usually doesn’t have anyone to play with. You can teach him defense skills on the weekends, and we’ll pay you. You can stay over at our house. Everyone in the house is occupied with work, and his father rarely comes back, so you can feel at home.” Mother Zhou said kindly.
Only then did Bai Qi relaxed. Zhou Sileng didn’t have a mommy, and he seemed to have said that his father was single. It would be very inappropriate if she were to suddenly move in. Now that Mother Zhou had said that the father wouldn’t come back, she felt at ease.
“Bai Qi, let’s go!” Zhou Sileng held Bai Qi’s hand and ran forward. He was scared that she would go back on her word.
Mother Zhou called out from behind, “Sileng, be careful. Don’t make Ms. Bai fall.”
…
Bai Qi entered the villa. This villa was of European style. The decoration was modest and tasteful. It felt homey and cozy. Moreover, there was plenty of light inside, and felt very warm.
Mother Zhou and Zhou Sileng treated her with warmth. Especially Zhou Sileng, who followed her around like a puppy. The servants here were also very friendly, and they were like a family.
Bai Qi liked the atmosphere here very much. She had been wandering alone for the past four years and was used to being lonely. Now, she suddenly felt that it was good to have a home.
After dinner, Zhou Sileng pulled Bai Qi into his room. “Bai Qi, this is my room. You can take a look around.”
“Okay.” Bai Qi nodded.
At this time, Mother Zhou also wanted to enter the room. Zhou Sileng quickly pushed her out. “Grandma, you go out. You have the night off. Go accompany Grandpa. I want to be alone with Bai Qi for a while.”
“That won’t work Sileng. Grandma still needs to help you shower.”
“Auntie, it’s alright. I can help Sileng take a bath.” Bai Qi said with a smile.
Mother Zhou really couldn’t do anything about this grandson of hers. “Ms. Bai, I’ll have to trouble you with it then. Your room is all ready. It’s just next door. If you need help, call the servants. I’ll go back to the old residence and will be back tomorrow.”
“Alright.”
Mother Zhou left.
Bai Qi closed the door and looked at Zhou Sileng. “Sileng, let’s go take a bath then.”
…
In the bathroom, Zhou Sileng stood under the shower. Bai Qi was washing his hair. “Sileng, close your eyes or the foam will get into them.”
Zhou Sileng closed his eyes satisfyingly. He felt Bai Qi’s soft fingers run through his short hair. She was being very gentle. He suddenly understood why daddy liked to pick up girls. It was because it felt good to have a woman!
After they finished washing the hair, Zhou Sileng pushed Bai Qi out of the glass door. He shyly covered his shorts with his hands and said, “Bai Qi, don’t look.”
Bai Qi found it funny. This little kid could already tell that males and females were different.
“Ok, but be careful. The floor is slippery. Don’t fall.”
“It’s okay. It doesn’t hurt even if I fall because I’m used to it. My daddy said that I’m a little man. So even if I bleed, I can’t cry. If I suffer a little pain, I only need one word: endurance!”
Bai Qi frowned as she heard those words. She looked at the little guy behind the frosted glass door. He was only four years old and have already learned about endurance. Wasn’t his daddy being a little too harsh? Wouldn’t his heart ache?
“Sileng, is your daddy very strict with you?”
“My daddy is a tyrant. He often spanks my butt.”
“What?” Bai Qi was shocked. Then she said seriously, “Sileng, adults cannot spank children. We can try to communicate. Your daddy’s way of teaching is a little extreme. I’ll talk to him when I get the chance.”
“Really? But Bai Qi, you shouldn’t waste your time. My father won’t listen to you. He’s a soldier!”
A soldier?
That cold and handsome face appeared in Bai Qi’s mind. When on set, she seemed to have heard people call him general or something. He was also a soldier and a high-rank one.
Why did the quality of soldiers drop so much today? That devil simply put shame to the word “Soldier.” She quickly pushed away the handsome face in her mind and prayed to the heavens to never see him again.
“Bai Qi, do you dislike anyone?”
“Yeah. I met a man a while ago. He has a girlfriend. I offended his girlfriend, and he… he… ” Bai Qi could say no more.
“He what?” Zhou Sileng stuck out his little head. “Tell me, I’ll get my dad to teach him a lesson.”
