Zhu Qianying, mother of Yan Xu and close friend to the young Eldest Master, was watching the scene unfold. Upon hearing the crisp voice, she instinctively looked up towards its source.
She saw a little girl with two braids running excitedly, dragging a pink Hello Kitty suitcase behind her. Before Zhu Qianying could react, the girl pushed her suitcase forward, hitting Bai Shao's leg hard.
Zhu Qianying instinctively reached out to pull her friend away from the impact, but surprisingly, Bai Shao didn't budge. With a backward pull, she brought the little girl into her arms and said cheerfully to Zhu Qianying,
"Ying Zi, this is my girl, Bai Lu. Yes, just like the egret, Bai Lu. You can call her 'Xiaolu'—as in, the path walked."
Zhu Qianying's mouth gaped open, her eyes widened, she stood still like a statue.
Bai Shao waved her hands in front of Zhu Qianying, continuing to laugh carefree, "Okay, it's my fault for keep it from you."
