Song Yun: ...
He couldn't help but rub his forehead, regretting that he shouldn't have let the child play with Song Shuyao.
Song Shuyao has been watching period dramas lately, and her child, out of curiosity, started watching along. Little did anyone know, the child would pick up a whole bunch of random things from them.
Shen Bai naturally possessed a cool and aloof face, with delicate features, like a beautiful porcelain doll. When he wasn't smiling, he looked like a cold and otherworldly immortal.
However, his eyes were as pure as a spotless sheet of white paper, and with a little observation, one would find that he was just a clueless little fool.
Even Song Yun, who was looking at him at this moment, couldn't help but sigh inwardly: What a pity.
He suddenly felt fortunate that the child had been adopted by the Taoist temple, otherwise...
Seeing that Shen Bai had finished the small cake, he took out a wet wipe and carefully cleaned Shen Bai's hands, his voice gentle:
"Tell your husband what you like later, and he'll buy it for you."
Is anything acceptable?
Shen Bai thought this was a place for selling things, so he started using sign language:
'I'd like a small cake.'
[These little cakes are so delicious, I should buy more.]
Song Yun laughed out loud and whispered in his ear:
"Baby, there aren't any small cakes for sale here, what should we do?"
Shen Bai was puzzled. There were no small cakes?
[Damn it!]
There aren't any small cakes here, so what are they doing here?
Shen Bai looked at Song Yun's conflicted expression, then raised his hand:
'Shall we go back then?'
"Wait a minute, what if there's something good? Aren't you curious about what's sold here, Xiaobai?"
Okay then, it's probably because the giant squid likes something and then uses the little white squid as an excuse.
[Alright, alright, let's let him off this time. Xiaobai is very generous.]
He nodded.
Completely unaware that Song Yun had overheard her innermost thoughts, she generously offered him her juice as well.
Someone was overjoyed, holding the juice and savoring it carefully in the spot where Chen Bai had drunk from.
It was just a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, but he tasted it as if it were some kind of delicious wine.
Those around them were astonished by what they saw; this was Song Yun, drinking juice handed to him by a little fool.
Normally, this guy wouldn't give face to anyone, so why does Song Yun seem so easy to talk to now?
Some people started to get restless, while others were thinking about how to strike up a conversation with Song Yun later.
Gu Qi and his wife followed the gazes of the others and looked in this direction, and then they saw familiar faces.
Cen Wan's eyes widened slightly:
"Little White? What's Little White doing here?"
Moreover, she was right next to Song Yun.
What happened?
Was Qingyue Temple bombed?
Otherwise, they couldn't quite understand why the most favored child in the Taoist temple would be here.
I've heard from people around me that Xiao Bai is Song Yun's... new plaything?
"Hey, don't listen to their nonsense, those two kids are married."
Mu Yao, Su Mochen's mother, couldn't help but speak up for Song Yun.
She and Cen Wan were best friends, and their families had even arranged a marriage between their children. However, both children who were supposed to get married ran away.
Moreover, she ran away because she refused the marriage proposal, which left her parents feeling helpless.
"How is this possible? That's Shen Bai..."
Cen Wan still found it unbelievable. They had never been inside the backyard of Qingyue Temple. Every time they went there, they could only see their son in the guest quarters.
This is the son's junior disciple, and also the abbot's most beloved disciple. How could she possibly go down the mountain to get married?
Back then, her Gu Yu fell seriously ill, and they had no choice but to go to a Taoist temple to pray to an old immortal.
The legend of an old immortal residing in Qingyue Temple has existed since ancient times, but no one has ever actually seen the old immortal.
But the hospital said there was no hope, so they could only pray to the gods and Buddhas. They found Qingyue Temple, where the couple and their two eldest sons knelt for two whole days. It was around that time.
Only then did Abbot Shen Yan agree to come out and see them, but he demanded that Gu Yu not return to his home and become his disciple in order to overcome his tribulation.
Gu Yu grew up in a Taoist temple, but would occasionally have to stay with farmers.
Shen Yan said that he had not yet redeemed the sins of his past life, and that he would have to live a hard life in this life. If he were forced to go back to Gujia, he would not be able to bear it.
The Gu family believed it because Gu Yu's health gradually improved after he went to the countryside and recognized a farming couple as his godparents.
The Gu couple would also take their son to stay with Gu Yu's godparents for a while, and help with farm work, fetching water and chopping firewood...
The Gu family has never stopped doing charity work over the years, and they dare not be extravagant. They even dare not move to a new house, which is why the Gu family keeps a low profile.
They visit Gu Yu several times a year, and Gu Yu takes this little brother with him. They know that Shen Bai is an orphan, so they always bring him an extra gift and snack each time they bring gifts.
As for the others, Gu Yu's closest senior brother is already in his forties.
Among Shen Yan's disciples, Gu Yu and Shen Bai are the youngest, so if anyone is to be trained, it will be Gu Yu and his junior disciples.
Shen Yan used to be able to find many children, but now that the world has improved, there are probably only a few like Shen Bai who have been abandoned in the wilderness.
The people in the Taoist temple pitied this child and always kept him as a treasure. But how did he end up belonging to Song Yun now?
Cen Wan found Song Yun increasingly displeasing. After all, he was a child she had watched grow up, so how could he have been brought home by a pig?
She took out her phone and messaged Gu Yu to ask about it.
Then I thought I'd go ask him after the auction ended, just in case Xiaobai was scammed.
Gu Qi, who was beside her, thought the same way. Only Su's father and Mu Yao felt a little guilty, as their relationship with the Song family was not bad.
Lu Yue had been bragging about having a daughter-in-law back then, but it seems things aren't so simple. After thinking about it, she said to Cen Wan:
"By the way, didn't you know? Shen Bai is the missing child of the Shen family. Maybe they were arranged to marry?"
Upon hearing this, Cen Wan's expression didn't improve; instead, it worsened.
Mu Yao immediately raised her hand to cover her mouth. Oh no, she seemed to have said something wrong.
Doesn't this prove that Song Yun really only treated Shen Bai as a plaything, forcing a little fool into a marriage? It just feels like bullying him.
"Uh, it's all the Shen family's fault. Maybe they pushed Shen Bai into an arranged marriage because he doesn't have parents. Wanwan, don't be angry. Let's see if Song Yun is good to Shen Bai."
Cen Wan looked over there, and Song Yun lowered his head to kiss Shen Bai's face, his brows furrowing even deeper.
No, she'll go ask Xiaobai later if she really wants to be with that person.
If it was forced, then the Gu family wouldn't be without ways to take Shen Bai away; she couldn't bear to see Shen Bai being bullied.
