CHAPTER 399
"I never knew that picking on little girls is your bee trend, Yu Bao."
Everyone turned to the source of the voice. Bai Xiaojin had a bored look on his cute face as he stared down at the crying little girl.
"What do you want, Xiaojin?" Meng Jue sneered.
"It's Bai Xiaojin for you. Not Xiaojin. You two can never be close to me."
"So what? What is your business here, Bai Xiaojin? I don't remember disturbing you, have I?" Yu Bao asked.
"That's your problem, Yu Bao. Your memory is not... sharp," Bai Xiaojin mocked.
The other kids acting as the onlookers laughed at Yu Bao. Bai Xiaojin just called Yu Bao dumb and rather forgetful. It was funny how the bully gets a taste of his own medicine.
"First of all, your bully of a little girl disturbed my peaceful lunch."
"I bet your daddy has not taught you some manners, huh Bai Xiaojin?" Yu Bao walked to Bai Xiaojin, try g to intimidate him.
"Bully a little girl is a shameful thing to do as a boy. I bet YOUR daddy failed to reach you simple, basic manners and common sense," Bai Xiaojin talked back.
"Wow!" The children began to cheer for Bai Xiaojin.
"Yeah. That's my best friend. He is good with his words. Don't mess with him or you will get it," Gu Mingzhe said to a boy standing close to him.
"Bai Xiaojin, don't be rude because your daddy is powerful," Meng Jue shouted from behind Yu Bao.
"That is something to should tell yourself and your puny master. Not Xiaojin," Gu Mingzhe also backed Bai Xiaojin up.
If they were going to gang up again on his best friend, he will not stand aside and watch on. It is supposed to be two in two and not two on one.
"I already called teacher Song and he will be here any minute from now. So, you better back off and stop bullying the little girl. Be gentlemen," Gu Mingzhe added.
"Teacher Song. Let's go."
"I saw nothing."
"I was never here."
"Run quickly before teacher Song arrives."
The children gathering around quickly dispersed like they had not gathered before. They all went about to continue whatever they were playing to prevent teacher Song from finding them guilty if not reporting to him sooner
"Hmph! Cowards," Bai Xiaojin mumbled under his breath. Then he turned to Yu Bao. "Just because her mummy is a kitchen maid does not give you the right to bully her or anyone. Have you not learnt enough lessons, Yu Bao?"
"Do not lecture me like you are my mum. I get to do whatever I want, wherever I want and whenever I want to," Yu Bao spoke angrily.
"I don't want to be your mum. This playground and everyone else also does not want to be among the things or place where you get to do whatever you want, wherever you want and whenever you want," Bai Xiaojin mini led his voice.
"Yeah," Gu Mingzhe nodded.
"Now, if you will excuse me, I have a little girl to help," Bai Xiaojin walked passed Yu Bao and his minion, Meng Just to get to the girl.
"Here. Led me to help you," Bai Xiaojin stretched out his hands for the crying little girl to take.
The girl raised her head and her pair of watery hazel brown eyes greeted Bai Xiaojin's blue ones. The one word that passed through his mind was, pretty.
"Thank you," her small voice thanked him before accepting his hands.
Bai Xiaojin pulled the girl along with him as he left. He did not even share another glance at the fuming Yu Bao and pouting Meng Jue. But Gu Mingzhe made sure he did.
"Bleh," he stuck his tongue out while wiggling his hands beside his ears.
Yu Bao stumbled his little feet countless times on the ground in anger. He hated how he could not get Bai Xiaojin to fear him like the rest of their peers.
Not only that, ever since his parents managed to know that Bai Xiaojin was Li Fengjin's son, his father, especially had told him to try to gain his friendship. While his mother scolded him when teacher Song reported his bad behaviour to Bai Xiaojin.
Both of his parents wanted him to apologise to Bai Xiaojin and make him forget his rings. Then, he can start by being friends with him.
"If you behave or say anything rude to that boy, daddy will not get a chance of doing business with Mr Li," Mr Yu said.
"And if your father does not get the chance, it means no mi eg and no money means no more toys or candies. Got it?" his mother, Mrs Yu added.
Those were the words they sang in his ears almost every day before he enters the school compound or even leave his home. But Yu Bao did not want to accept their ways of making him help his father get that so-called chance.
He had thought that if he made Bai Xiaojin be scared of him, he could easily order him to tell his father to do business with his father, Mr Yu.
But no. That kid, Bai Xiaojin does not seem to be scared at all. In fact, he was never scared of him or anyone. Instead, he has gotten more bold and fearless that which irked Yu Bao to the core.
"Bao Bao, do not let that Bai Xiaojin make you mad. He is just—"
"Shut up," Yu Bao spat out in anger.
He stormed off leaving Meng Jue behind. He was just walking and bumping into other kids without saying sorry. He could not care less about them to waste his time to stop and say sorry anyway.
"Bao Bao, wait up," Meng Jue ran after him.
Meanwhile, Bai Xiaojin was busy wiping off the food that had fallen all over the little girl's body.
"Sigh. Look at what those airheads did. Tsk. What a waste of good food," Bai Xiaojin said as he wiped off the soup that stained the girl's chubby cheeks.
"Uhm... Thank... Thank you," the little girl bowed in thanks as soon as Bai Xiaojin stepped back after he was done.
"You are welcome. I bet you must be hungry since it was all your food they wasted away. Here, you can have mine," Bai Xiaojin offered with a small kind smile enlightening his dimples.
The little girl became shy as she blushed. No one has been this kind to her before. Also, this hot was so handsome and cute. "There is no need. Thank you," she shook her head, refusing the offer politely.
"Hey, little girl," Gu Mingzhe called out to her. "Do not be too humble. Xiaojin is a good boy. Just accept it because your stomach needs it."
Just as he finished saying that, her stomach growled shamelessly. The Little girl's eyes bulged as her face till her neck went from pink to red in an instant
"Hahaha," Gu Mingzhe laughed out loud. "She is cute."
"Mingzhe, it is bad to embarrass a lady. What is wrong with you?" Bai Xiaojin smacked his beat friend's head?
"Ouch! No fair, Xiaojin. You are being mean to me now because of a cute little girl," Gu Mingzhe whined.
"Don't be bothered by him. Sit with us and eat. I doubt if Yu Bao will let you be," Xiaojin pushed the lunch box into her hands.
"Thank you very much. And... And I am sorry for bothering you by giving up your lunch."
"Don't worry. I have a fruit bar with me. Also, it is not my full lunch. I already ate from it."
"Even though. I am going to pay you back," the girl said before sitting down and opening the box.
"What is your name?" Bai Xiaojin asked.
"Huh?" The girl turned to him.
"What is your name? I should at least know the name and class of my debtor," Bai Xiaojin shrugged and opened his fruit bar.
"Daiyu... My name is An Daiyu and I am in teacher Song's class," she replied.
"A Daiyu. Well, I am Bai Xiaojin and he is my best friend, Gu Mingzhe. It is nice to meet you."
"It... It is nice to meet you too."
"I knew I had seen you before. You are that girl that seats at the very front of the class," Gu Mingzhe exclaimed.
"Yea. I know you too. You are the class clown. Well, you used to be," An Daiyu smiled.
"Class clown? Do not call me that," Gu Mingzhe frowned. "I prefer to be called the class funniest handsome boy," he said proudly.
"Hehehe," An Daiyu giggled.
That was how the trio are their lunch with Gu Mingzhe being the funny kid she was. It was fun for An Daiyu. She kelt smiling all through the lunch break.
At the end of the day, as usual, Bai Xiaojin and Gu Mingzhe went to sit on the bench under the tree. But this time they were not alone, they had taken An Daiyu with them.
Yu Bao was not to be trusted. While they were in a discussion, Gu Mingzhe's father came to pick him up. So it was just Bai Xiaojin and An Daiyu.
