Xiao Jingchu returned home, pouting and sitting on the sofa in a daze. Bai Xijing had just gotten out of bed and came out of the bathroom with a mouthful of toothpaste foam, asking somewhat unclearly, "Whats wrong?"

  Xiao Jing dusted off her grievances and gazed at her silly dad with a hint of resentment, "Dad, why are we surnamed Bai?"

  "Because my dads surname is Bai," he said after a moment of stupidity.

  "Then why is your fathers surname Bai?"

  "Because my grandfathers surname is Bai."

  "Why...?"

  "I dont know why my grandfathers surname is Bai either, anyway our family has been surnamed Bai for generations... whats wrong with you?" Feeling that things seemed not quite simple, Bai Xijing quickly brushed his teeth and sat down beside Jingchen, asking softly, "What happened?"

  Xiao Jings head drooped slightly as he muttered, "They said they wouldnt play with kids surnamed Bai."

  Listening to the little guys voice, which already had a nasal tone, Bai Xijing hastily hugged his shoulders and comforted him, "Its okay, its okay, we dont care about playing with them. In a while, Dad will take you out to play at Disneyland, where there are many other kids."

  Heaven knows, Bai Xijing has never had a childhood and doesnt even know which direction the gates of Disneyland open, but to make his son happy, he decided to take a chance on that "terrifying" childrens paradise. He thought to himself, those nephews of his who are like wild monkeys all seem to love rushing to Disneyland, so his obedient little son should also like going there... right?!

  The silly dads kind heart is praiseworthy, but unfortunately, the obedient "son" doesnt appreciate it.

  The little light head shook his head indifferently at the three words "Disney", "No need, Ill let them play with me."

  Bai Xi Jing: "......" Good son, shouldnt you be so obsessed with others?!

  Unfortunately, Xiaojingchens greatest advantage, apart from his simple-mindedness, is his stubbornness.

  For several days, Xiaojingchen would stare at the boys playing basketball in the distance after finishing her morning exercise. Every time she gazed at them, Xiao Hu would stop and glare back at Xiaojingchen fiercely. Several times, he lost the ball due to his distraction. Finally, Lingfei couldnt help but give him another scolding, and only then did Xiao Hu reluctantly withdraw his fierce stare. When Lingfei wasnt paying attention, he clenched his fist and made a threatening gesture towards Xiaojingchen.

  Xiao Jingchens paws clenched suddenly, his finger joints twitching with a desire to move.

  With a tilted head, Xiaojingchen thought for a moment before striding towards the basketball court. The boys stopped one after another, all staring at the approaching Xiaojingchen. Xiao Pangzi almost rushed over again but was frozen by Lingfeis sharp gaze. Lingfei smiled and walked towards Xiaojingchen, "Whats up?"

  Xiao Jingchen shook his head, "I just wanted to ask, why dont you play with me?"

  "Its because your surname is Bai." Before Ling Fei could speak up, Xiao Pangzi let out a discontented cry.

  Xiao Jingchen calmly looked at his furious eyes and said seriously, "Whats wrong with my surname being Bai?"

  "Of course, its wrong, those with the surname Bai are not...". Xiao Pangzi subconsciously followed Xiao Jingchens words and started scolding, fortunately, the dirty words didnt come out yet, and was slapped back by Ling Fei with a big pot. Rubbing his sore paw, he ignored Xiao Pangzis tearful and resentful eyes, and Ling Fei smiled at Xiao Jingchen, "Theres nothing wrong with the surname Bai, but we have had dealings with those with the surname Bai."

  "What does that have to do with me? Its not me who has had dealings with you." The master said, everything has a causal relationship, there must be a cause before there can be an effect. She had never sown this cause, so the effect shouldnt be counted on her head. Of course, her understanding of "cause and effect" was somewhat different from what the master wanted to express.

  Xiao Jingchen was simply stating the facts, but when the words reached Ling Feis ears, they instantly branched out into N different extended meanings, such as: "Im not on the same level as those White kids", "I dont get along with those little brats at home", "I also have a grudge against them" and so on.

  After some careful thought, Ling Fei suddenly laughed out loud, thinking he had grasped the subtle meaning behind Xiao Jingchens words. The smile looked similar to yesterdays in Jingchens eyes. "Youre right, we cant afford to upset everyone at once. I apologize for our attitude over the past few days, sorry!"

  Ling Fei, youre really overthinking this!

  The master said, knowing ones mistakes and being able to correct them is a great virtue!

  Xiao Jing dust calmly accepted Ling Feis apology, and Xiao Pangzi became even more displeased, "Ling Fei..."

  "There are so many people in the world with the surname Bai, do you have to drag every single one of them into your grudge?" Little Fatty had just shouted two words when Ling Fei spoke slowly.

  "But hes different, he... is one of those bastards."

  Ling Fei waved his hand, interrupting Xiao Pangzis argument. A warm smile like spring breeze appeared on his face, but in Xiao Pangzis eyes, it was as cold and biting as a winter solstice. "Apart from the fact that you cant change your surname to Bai, do you think Jingchen is qualified to be friends with us?"

  Little fatty: "...", nonsense! If he didnt truly consider him a friend, why would he go out of his way to say that he wants to take care of this fool?!

  Ignoring Xiaopangs sulky and arrogant expression, as long as he shut his mouth, Ling Fei was already very satisfied. He smiled and stretched out his hand to Xiao Jingchen, "Lets play basketball together, your skills are still a big gap away from passing the line!"

  Xiao Jing dusted off his habitually tilted head, looked at Ling Feis palm which had some gray dust on it from playing ball, thought for a moment, then put his own small paws in and smiled with two small dimples.

  And so, the little boys who had put aside their prejudices instantly fell in the midst of Xiao Jings warm and gentle smile.

  Many years later, Ling Fei had more than once indulged in self-admiration and boasting that he was the first to hold onto Dāizis hand. That small, soft, and delicate little paw felt even softer than cotton candy when pinched.

  After having breakfast with everyone, Xiaojing returned to the playground in a great mood, and then went home from the playground. As she was directionally challenged, she could only follow the original route, but in fact, it would take her less than five minutes to get home from the food street, while going around the playground took more than ten minutes, and then going home from the playground... So, at least twenty minutes of detour were wasted.

  At the entrance of the breakfast shop, Ling Fei reminded her more than once that she could go home directly, but she insisted on going around the playground. Ling Fei was also helpless and thought that this little girl had some kind of weird habit, but he never thought that she was just a simple directionally challenged person.

  Back home after nine oclock, Bai Xijing had already gotten up and was basking in the morning sun on the balcony, reading a book. From here, you can see the situation on the playground very clearly, but unfortunately, Xiaojings head is too short, and many scenery are blocked by the railing.

  Xiao Jinglian handed a food paper bag to Bai Xijing, "Dad, I brought you breakfast."

  Bai Xi Jings eyes lit up, the baby "son" finally has a sense of being a son, bringing breakfast to daddy... so loving!

  Bai Xi Jings face lit up as he took the paper bag and opened it, his eyes curved like a crescent moon behind his glasses. But then they froze, looking up at Jing Yun with an unnatural smile, "Uh, not bad... Dad loves this..." Yeah right!

  Ten white steamed buns plus a bowl of tofu soup!!!

  Son, Dad has already recovered, Dad is a common man, the stomachs loading function is very normal, ten steamed buns... Is this trying to make his stomach bleed?!

  Looking at the clear and pure black big eyes of his obedient son, Bai Xijing silently swallowed all the complaints in his heart, picked up a steamed bun and took a big bite. The silly father who had never eaten such simple food after coming down from the mountain almost choked to death with the first bite, and hastily drank a bowl of tofu soup.

  Xiao Jingchen couldnt help but laugh at her fathers voracious eating. She knew he would love to eat, because she loved to eat too. The buns from the mountain below were softer and more delicate than those from the mountain above, but they didnt fill her up as much. In the temple, she was full after eating three buns in the morning, and at most, she would share half a bun with one of her fellow disciples or brothers. But the buns from the mountain below, she had to eat ten of them to feel even slightly full, but they really tasted great.

  Under the gaze of Jingchens unconscious stare, the silly dad who originally only had an appetite for five mantou (steamed buns) surprisingly stuffed eight mantou into his belly, eating until he was dizzy. Finally, when he really couldnt eat anymore, Silly Dad looked at Little Jingchen and said seriously, "Dad is full, there are two left... How about we take a break and eat again later?"
