Chapter 42 You Have the Right to Be Willful
"It seems like he's indeed Peiji's offspring. His temper is exactly the same as when he was little." Bai Youyou put the snatched piece of meat into her mouth and chewed it slowly with a look of enjoyment. "What you snatch is delicious~"
ginkgo:"……"
How could this person be so shameless? He has no respect for the elderly or the young at all!
"Uncle Andy, why don't you take care of her?!"
Andy pointed at his face and said aggrievedly, "Do you think I can control her?"
"You're so useless!" Bai Guo said with a look of disgust.
This is the fourth time that Baiguo has told Andy that he is useless. He... well, he's used to it. Just get used to it.
Bai Youyou smiled elegantly at Bai Guo, "You also think he's useless?"
Bai Guo didn't answer. Instead, he turned his head to face Andy and said provocatively, "Uncle Andy, you can tolerate her talking to you like that?!"
"So what if I can't stand it?" Andy shrugged, picked up his chopsticks, and joined the eating. "I can't beat her, and you and I don't dare to fight. What if the Mastermind throws us into jail?"
To sum up, these two are people he cannot mess with.
Bai Guo simply ignored the first half of the sentence, his round eyes widened as he pointed at his nose and asked, "You actually want to hit me?!"
Bai Youyou covered her mouth and chuckled.
Andy moved his butt away from Bai Guo and said honestly, "Don't you think you deserve a beating sometimes? You're the typical naughty kid."
"You actually called me a naughty kid!" Bai Guo said in shock, then revealed a hurt expression, "How could you look at me like that, when I'm so cute and well-behaved."
"You are indeed cute, there is no denying that, but being well-behaved... doesn't seem to have anything to do with you." Andy told the truth, but once again distanced himself from Baiguo.
Bai Guo snorted disdainfully, stabbing his mouth with a knife: "Pei Ji knows to go to work and make money, but you just sit around doing nothing all day. Can you be more ambitious? How could Bai Youyou be so blind as to fall for someone like you who has no ambition at all? Pei Ji may not be that great, but at least he knows how to go to work!"
Bai Youyou burst into laughter. This cub was just to her liking.
"You said Peggy was ambitious?!" Andy looked insufferable. He was indeed a nobody, but how could Peggy be any better? Still going to the company? Still working? He just ran away to play, and this little idiot actually believed it?
"If you knew where he is now, you wouldn't say such a thing."
"Isn't he in the company?" Bai Guo looked doubtful.
Bai Youyou: "No, he's in a... very exciting place."
"How exciting?" Bai Guo's eyes lit up. "Can I go?"
She spent the whole day eating and sleeping, or looking at tree branches. She hadn't gone out to see this strange and new world yet.
"No, minors are not allowed to enter there." Andy immediately shook his head and refused. "If you want to go out and have fun, I can take you to the children's amusement park. It's quite fun there, and there are many exciting rides."
"Xiao Baiguo, do you want to go find your dad and see what he's doing?" Bai Youyou said with a wicked smile, "Minors are prohibited from entering. That's for ordinary minors. You're Pei Ji's daughter. If you want to go in, who dares to stop you? Besides, that place is much more fun and exciting than any children's amusement park!"
"Really?" Bai Guo suddenly felt more favorable towards Bai Youyou. "Then I'll go see Pei Ji first, and then go to the children's amusement park!"
Andy cast a accusing gaze at Bai Youyou: "What do you want to do? Bai Guo is only three years old. Is it appropriate for you to take her? Oh, I see. Actually, it's you who wants to go!"
"I'm not going there without telling you." Bai Youyou put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth with a tissue. "Xiao Baiguo, the snacks there are delicious. Don't eat these on the table."
"Huh?" He was shoveling food into his mouth with a disapproving expression, his eyes condemning Bai Youyou, "How can you waste food? It's so delicious!"
"Xiao Guoguo is right!" Andy gave Bai Guo a thumbs up. "It's a good child not to waste food."
Baiguo snorted, and the corners of her mouth secretly rose. She could be good as long as she wanted to, but being a human was troublesome.
This cannot be done because it is immoral, and that cannot be done because it is against the law. You have to work hard to make money, and only with money can you survive. Not only that, you will have all kinds of troubles because of some things, and even have to consider the consequences. It is not free and comfortable at all.
Being a tree is very happy except that you can't move around freely. You don't have to worry about anything. When it rains, you can use the rain to wash the tree trunk clean. When the wind comes, you can close your eyes and listen to the breeze bringing greetings from your fellow tribesmen. You can chat and laugh in the wind, and blow off the dust on your body.
When the sun comes out, look up and let every leaf be scented with the sunshine. Even strong winds, scorching sun, heavy rain and lightning cannot destroy their desire to grow towards the sun.
As she thought about it, Baiguo began to miss the time when she was a tree. She thought that she would not be able to adapt to human life in a short time because she was so out of place.
No, can human life be without strong winds, scorching sun, heavy rain, snow, hail, floods and droughts? She is the oldest tree in the world. Humans on earth call her a living fossil. How can she retreat here?
"What are you thinking about? You don't even want to eat the food in front of you?" Andy asked curiously. This little cub would not stare at the food, but would just eat it desperately.
"I'm wondering..." Bai Guo put a fried egg in the bowl and asked sincerely, "Am I really that annoying?"
"How could that be?" Andy shook his head without even thinking. "If you were really annoying, why would I come to you? You're still young, so it's normal for you to be naive. We weren't sensible from the beginning when we were little."
"Children have the right to be willful." Bai Youyou rubbed Bai Guo's head, speaking softly like an elder. "Andy has told me about your behavior these past few days. You've indeed been a bit willful, but what's the big deal? You're only three years old. How can we hold you to the same standards as an adult?"
Andy nodded in agreement. "Growth is a process. If you make a mistake and correct it promptly and apologize, you're still a good child. And it's not all your fault. Just like living with Peggy, not only does he not want to, you don't want to either, right? So you use some terrible things to express your dissatisfaction, trying to make Peggy dislike you or drive you away."
"So you have a reason to run away, right?"
Bai Guo felt a little embarrassed when she was seen through. Was she being so obvious?
At the beginning, she did intend to make Page hate her and drive her away. Once she was driven away, she would be free to look for the broken branches.
