Chapter 377: Chapter 250: The Pampered Little Bun Chapter 377: Chapter 250: The Pampered Little Bun Gu Changsheng looked especially sorrowful as he gazed at Si Xi, speaking with bright eyes, “Although I’d like to say that I truly was just teasing you for some fun, but Si Xi, facts speak louder than words, to know is to know, to not know is to admit it. We can’t pretend to understand what we don’t, right?”
How could she be such an honest person, capable of lying?
You have to believe in her character!
Yet Si Xi still found it hard to believe, the perfect image he had of his mistress suddenly seemed flawed!
He felt somewhat impotent to accept it.
Seeing his reaction, how could Gu Changsheng not understand what he was thinking? With extra sympathy, she patted his shoulder and said very seriously, “Si Xi, do not idealize me too much, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. I will definitely exceed your expectations!”
Exceed your expectation in imperfection!
Gu Changsheng thought this to herself quite earnestly!
You really can’t expect too much perfection from someone who has only been here for over half a year and still can’t do her hair!
Gu Changsheng truly believed in the beauty of imperfection!
This was profoundly reflected in her daily life, she herself was a true embodiment of imperfect beauty!
Such a painful realization!
Although Gu Changsheng spoke with conviction, Si Xi still couldn’t snap out of his own world, Gu Changsheng watched him and couldn’t help but purse her lips and shake her head.
Poor ability to adapt! There’s room for improvement!
She will simply have to teach Si Xi about growth by personal example!
“Come on, Si Xi, you can’t follow me without knowing about herbs. Come with me to the Medicine Tower!” Gu Changsheng patted the little Si Xi and took the lead towards the Medicine Tower.
Zhou Mu’s residual poison wasn’t cleared, and Qianji Poison’s last herb had truly stumped the self-proclaimed erudite Gu Changsheng. Despite trying thousands of times, she still couldn’t find the right method, which left Gu Changsheng racking her brains without any solution!
But Gu Changsheng was someone who would rise above setbacks, facing difficulties was her style!
Moreover, she had sworn solemnly to Zhou Mu that she would rid him of the residual poison and completely free him from the trouble of Qianji Poison!
Everyone in the family was busy with their own things, and the little Meat Bun, Gu Ze, was left to his own devices!
His mother was busy, and whenever she had time, she would hole up in the Medicine Tower and not come out. His master had gone into complete seclusion, besides delivering meals, not even a shadow was to be seen. And his newly appointed grandfather was even less reliable, having found some treasure and was shut in his room, engrossed in studying it.
So, Meat Bun felt a sense of being abandoned!
The forlorn Meat Bun, after facing off with the Plum Blossom Piles countless times, was utterly infuriated!
“Nobody cares about me, no one at all! I’m just a kid who nobody loves!” Meat Bun griped with a pout, playing uninterestedly with a small twig by the side of Autumn Water Lake.
He was so bored he even went to the Little Monk Bu Jie to learn scripture recitation! Just because nobody cared about him!
Meat Bun, feeling completely neglected and full of grudges, huffed back to his living quarters, packed a bundle of his belongings haphazardly, slung them on his back, locked the door, and ran towards the back door!
He was going to run away from home! Right now!
Zhou Zongbao, tasked with guarding the back door, had gone to Prince Mu’s Mansion to demand the Phoenix, so Meat Bun left unobstructed, even thoughtfully closing the door behind him.
Standing outside, Meat Bun hesitated.
“Where should I run away to? Go to Baili Mountain to find Brother Mo?” he pondered, chin in hand, his eyebrows twisted in thought.
He quickly dismissed the thought, “No, it’s almost time for dinner, and the way to Baili Mountain is so far, I’d get hungry on the road!”
Touching his little stomach and considering the feeling of hunger, Meat Bun decisively shook his head!
No way, he couldn’t be hungry no matter what!
“That won’t do either; Uncle Wood is as afraid of my mother as a Mouse is of a Mother Tigress. He’d surely haul me right back. So where should I go?” Meat Bun squatted under the large tree by the back door, pondering his next move. Suddenly, inspiration struck, and he leaped up with delight, “I’ve got it! I’ll go to Granny Master Ru Hua; there’s definitely something tasty and fun there!”
With that thought, Meat Bun skipped away, increasingly bouncy and gleeful with each step, until he was far away.
When it was just about time for supper, Zhou Zongbao came back fuming.
As soon as he saw Gu Changsheng, he couldn’t help but start complaining incessantly, “Mother Tigress, Young Master here has come to understand what a real ingrate is, and it’s that ungrateful Little Wood!”
