But unfortunately, her expectations were dashed as Lin Yongcheng was called by the transport team to run a long-distance trip.

He was ex-military, strong and tough, and good at fighting.

When the transport team went on long trips, they borrowed people from the security department in case of robberies, so Lin Yongcheng was borrowed again.

The two children couldn’t go to the Lin family village, so they had to go to the hospital with Bai Ji.

Aside from being born in the hospital, this was Little Bai Guo’s first time coming to the hospital. Actually, she didn’t feel much about it. It was just a change of place to lie like a salted fish. She didn’t care where she was.

Little Zi Su pouted, clearly displeased.

Her hair was short and didn’t look good at all. She didn’t want to go out.

But would Bai Ji let her stay at home alone? Impossible.

The bicycle was taken away by Bai Zhu, and Bai Ji strapped Little Bai Guo onto her back with a carrier, holding a small basket of food in one hand while holding Little Zi Su’s hand with the other.

At her young age, Little Zi Su already cared about her appearance. She lowered her head all the way, afraid to look at anyone. When they entered the hospital, her face was full of unhappiness.

Coincidentally, Bai Ji’s colleague, Dr. Du, also brought her child to work.

Dr. Du’s child was a five-and-a-half-year-old little girl named Du Qingqing. She was quite a cute girl, looking very fresh, wearing a beautiful dress with two pigtails. She looked lovely, but once she spoke, her true nature came through.

Du Qingqing approached Little Zi Su and stared at her short hair enviously. “I want to shave my head too, but my mom won’t let me. Your mom is so nice!”

Little Zi Su was confused.

Was having a shaved head something to be envious of?

She touched her own short hair. “Why do you want to shave your head?”

Du Qingqing huffed. “That little brat named Liu always loses to me when we fight, so he cheats and pulls my hair. It makes me so mad. If I shaved my head, I could defeat everyone in the hospital! It’s all my mom’s fault. She always holds me back!”

Little Zi Su: “…”

Little Bai Guo: “…”

It seemed like they understood what was so extraordinary about this.

This girl in a beautiful dress went to fight with someone?

That Liu kid could pull her hair, so her hair must be short, meaning the kid must be a boy.

Amazing, she always won when fighting with others.

Du Qingqing expressed her envy again.

“If I had a shaved head, who could pull my hair? Dr. Bai is a good mom. If my mom were half as good as Dr. Bai, I’d be able to jump up and down with happiness.”

She wasn’t lying.

She really wanted to shave her head, but her mom said her personality was too boyish and that she should grow her hair long to look more ladylike.

That made her angry.

She didn’t want to be a little lady. What was good about being a little lady when people could pull your braids?

She wanted to shave her head!

“I know how to shave my head,” Little Zi Su said excitedly, touching her own short hair, offering advice to Du Qingqing. She glanced at Bai Ji.

Seeing that Bai Ji and Dr. Du weren’t paying attention to them, she felt relieved.

“How?” Du Qingqing asked.

“When you get lice, you can shave your head,” Little Zi Su said.

Du Qingqing was shocked, her mouth wide open. “Is it that simple to shave your head?”

“I got lice from two friends who don’t care about hygiene, and I even passed them to my little sister. Then we both got our heads shaved,” Little Zi Su pointed to Little Bai Guo on the chair.

The two sisters had similar hair lengths, but Little Bai Guo’s hair wasn’t as dark as Little Zi Su’s, making it look softer and cuter.

Du Qingqing glanced over. “Your sister is staring at me.”

Her hands were itching to poke Little Bai Guo’s face.

But realizing Little Zi Su was present, she held back. “I’m Du Qingqing. What’s your name? What’s your sister’s name?”

“I’m Lin Zi Su, and my sister is Bai Guo.”

“You don’t have the same last name?” She asked, and then it seemed like she thought of something. “Your sister must take Bai Ji’s last name, right? I take my mom’s last name too.”

Little Zi Su pouted but didn’t respond.

Her sister took her mom’s last name, and the girl she just met also took her mom’s last name. She was the only one who took her dad’s last name, making her feel like an odd one out.

When could she take her mom’s last name?

She didn’t want to be called Lin anymore. She wanted to have the same last name as her sister.

So annoying!

Du Qingqing asked again, “Where did you get the lice?”

Little Bai Guo suddenly felt that Little Zi Su was a bit mean.

This beautiful little girl was being taught how to shave her head, and her sister was a bit bad!

Just as she was about to say something, Little Zi Su answered truthfully.

“I met two friends who didn’t pay attention to hygiene, and I got lice from them. Then I passed them to my sister…” Little Zi Su looked slightly embarrassed.

“So simple?” Du Qingqing nodded thoughtfully.

She definitely wanted to shave her head, but lice could spread to others, and if she passed them to her mom, she might get scolded.

So, could she lie about it?

“I told you how to shave your head, now you have to tell me something,” Little Zi Su demanded confidently. Fair trade, right?

“What?” Du Qingqing asked.

“How do I take my mom’s last name? I want to take my mom’s last name too.”

“Ah…?” Du Qingqing blinked, then whispered, “My dad is a son-in-law. He married into my mom’s family. My grandparents don’t want me to talk about it.”

Little Zi Su didn’t understand what a son-in-law or being married into the family meant.

She scratched her head. “My grandparents are bad people.”

Du Qingqing said, “My grandparents are my mom’s parents, like your mom’s parents. My dad’s parents are also bad people.”

“Can mom’s parents be called grandparents too?” Little Zi Su was shocked.

She suddenly thought that being a son-in-law was a good thing, though she didn’t really understand it.

She patted her chest and proudly declared, “I’ll make my dad a son-in-law, then I can take my mom’s last name and call my mom’s parents grandparents!”

Little Zi Su really liked this girl.

On their first meeting, she gave her such a good idea.

When her dad came back from his trip, she had to make him a son-in-law!

Bai Ji and Dr. Du were far away and couldn’t hear them, while Little Bai Guo watched in awe.

Kids these days really knew how to play, huh?

You teach me how to shave my head, I’ll teach you how to make your dad a son-in-law.

They’d both probably get scolded later.

From what Little Bai Guo could tell, her own sister would get scolded, and Du Qingqing would too.

Both were a handful in their own ways.

After their friendly exchange, Du Qingqing decided Little Zi Su was a good friend, and Little Zi Su thought Du Qingqing was nice and wanted to be her friend.

Soon, Du Qingqing boldly waved her hand.

“Come with me, I’ll take you to beat up that Liu kid!”

“Go beat up the Liu kid!”

They left without hesitation, and Little Bai Guo stared after them, calling out, “Hey, silly sister, Liu doesn’t have a grudge against you!”

Bai Ji and Dr. Du saw the two kids walking away, and Dr. Du said, “Qingqing is very familiar with the hospital. With her leading the way, everything will be fine.”

“I’m very reassured.”

Bai Ji knew of course, Du Qingqing often came to the hospital with Dr. Du and was nearly like a little hospital boss.

With her leading Little Zi Su, there was no way she would come to harm.

She stood up. “I’ll go check on my little one.”

Little Bai Guo, who had been left on the chair, was silent and didn’t move, as still as a doll. Dr. Du automatically ignored her presence.

Upon hearing Bai Ji mention her, she slapped her forehead.

“Your little one is too well-behaved! You put her on a chair and she doesn’t even cry!”

“My little one is called Guai Bao. She’s been very well-behaved since she was little and hardly ever cries.”

“That’s rare, give me a hug.”

Dr. Du couldn’t help but hug the little Bai Guo.

This child was truly well-behaved. When she was moved to another arm, she just stared quietly with her eyes open, neither crying nor fussing.

“You’re so well-behaved. My Qinqing has been mischievous since she was little, not at all like a girl. If only I could share half of this behavior with Qinqing, no… even a tenth would be enough.”

“Every child is different. If they’re too mischievous, it worries you. If they’re too well-behaved, that’s worrying too. Our whole family is afraid that the well-behaved nature of the little Bao might make her a target for bullying in the future.”

“Don’t worry, let my Qinqing teach her, and she’ll definitely get tougher.”

“Let Qinqing learn from her, and in the future, she’ll be the one to take care of her younger sister.”

The two of them kept exchanging their thoughts.

The little Bai Guo remained silent, not moving at all, almost as if she were about to blow a couple of bubbles.

Was she well-behaved? Not at all.

Humans, you are too naive. Don’t just look at the surface behavior.

The fish may seem calm, but it’s not an easy one to bully. Back in the day, the number of fish that she slapped to death with her tail was beyond count. She had a terrible temper!

…

No one knew how much time passed, but soon after, Xiao Zisu and Du Qinqing returned.

Both of them walked with their heads held high, looking like victorious generals, brimming with pride.

They approached Bai Guo and chattered excitedly about how they had beaten up that little Liu kid, making him roll around in the mud.

Xiao Bai Guo stared at Xiao Zisu.

Her sister had gone bad!!

Having made a new friend in Du Qinqing, Xiao Zisu finally accepted the reality of her shaved head and even thought that having a shaved head was a good thing— it made her new friend envy her, what could be better than that?

From that day on, Xiao Zisu no longer walked around with her head down, afraid to look at anyone.

What’s wrong with having a shaved head?

The shaved head doesn’t fear anyone pulling its hair. It’s confident, it’s powerful!

Bai Ji, not understanding the reason, thought Xiao Zisu had made a new friend and was glad that she had gotten over her recent troubles. On the way home, she even praised Du Qinqing.

“Qinqing is a lively child. Xiao Zisu can play with her.”

“Yes, I really like Qinqing Jie.”

“That’s good. You can play with her again tomorrow.”

Seeing Bai Ji’s happy face, Little Bai Guo silently lit a candle for Xiao Zisu in her heart.

She had a feeling that the matter of the son-in-law was a time bomb, just waiting to explode.

Poor sister, get ready for a beating!

Xiao Zisu really liked her new partner, Du Qinqing, and Du Qinqing also admired the little shaved head.

The next day, they sneaked out to fight again.

The two got closer, and Little Bai Guo, as the only one who knew the truth, could only watch helplessly.

She was really confused.

Who were they fighting with?

Who was this Liu kid?
