Quick Wear: The paranoid beauty grabs the waist and spoils her

"Brother Jinchen!"

After saying goodbye to Nan Xiang, Pei Jinchen returned to the house where he was temporarily staying.

As soon as he reached the door, he heard a little boy in gray linen clothes running out from the house next to his, which was also made of yellow mud bricks and tiles. He looked at Pei Jinchen with a huge grin on his face and called out to him affectionately.

The little boy was Li Jinan who had just returned from selling newspapers.

After Li Jinan shouted, a soft and sticky voice came from behind him.

"Brother, wait for me!"

Li Jinan looked back, stretched out his hand, and led out a little girl who was three or four years younger than him.

The little girl was wearing a maroon linen short-sleeved shirt that looked a little old, and slippers that were much bigger than her feet. She ran out carefully and quickly, and when she saw Pei Jinchen with her big wet eyes, her joy was about to overflow.

The little girl called out sweetly: "Brother Jinchen!"

As she spoke, she opened her arms and trotted towards Pei Jinchen.

Pei Jinchen squatted down and opened his arms to hug the little girl who was about four or five years old.

"Jingjing, slow down."

"Sister, slow down!"

"Oh."

The little girl named Jingjing grabbed Pei Jinchen's clothes with her little hands and responded obediently.

Two big eyes were blinking, and the pink little face was full of innocence and obedience.

"Jingjing, watch the road when you walk..."

Pei Jinchen didn't finish his words, and the little girl in his arms took over the rest of his words:

"Don't run too fast and don't pay attention to your steps, or you'll fall and cry."

Hearing Li Jingjing skillfully take over the conversation, Pei Jinchen did not continue speaking, but looked at the delicate little girl in his arms with a smile in his eyes and listened to her serious story.

Li Jingjing shook her head as she spoke, her two little tufts swinging back and forth: "Brother Jinchen, Jingjing knows. You repeated it many times, just like daddy. Jingjing remembers it all."

As she spoke, Li Jingjing lowered her voice, looked a little sad, and stretched out her little hand to grab the air.

"Brother Jinchen, I miss my dad." After Li Jingjing said this to Pei Jinchen, she looked at her brother and asked,

"Brother, why hasn't Dad come back yet?"

When Li Jinan heard his sister's question, he thought of what happened two years ago in Xingcheng, a remote small town near Haicheng, his so-called hometown. It left a deep impression on him that he would never forget. It was the first time he felt the coldness and numbness of people's hearts. At that time, he just felt cold and didn't understand. Until now, he understood. He understood every word his father said to him.

But I still feel sad, it is the sadness of human nature.

At that time, he was selling newspapers and passed by the vegetable market when he saw a bright red spot of blood. His father had lost a lot of blood.

There were so many people and so much noise at the time that he couldn't even squeeze in. He could only hear a few old women and men in front of him shouting, "Blood! Blood! Give it to me! Give it to me!"

Li Jinan will never forget that day, at that moment, when he squeezed to the front with his small stature, he saw a bright red in front of his eyes, his father's blood spurted out. Several old women and old men in front of him who were holding bowls rushed forward, vying for the hot blood, and dipped the coarse white steamed buns in the blood red. Their bodies and faces were covered with blood, that was his father's!

That's his father's blood!

That's his father's blood...

He saw those who had received the blood holding the bowls, their facial muscles twitching, their smiles extremely crazy and ugly, and they all rushed back for the so-called hot blood that could cure all diseases.

He didn't know what his mood was at that time. To describe it now using the words and sentences he had learned, it was as if his heart was blocked by a stone and he couldn't breathe. He wanted to move the stone away, but after a lot of effort, a knife came and cut his heart into pieces. It was very painful.

He didn’t understand, he didn’t understand then, and he doesn’t understand now…

Is this what Daddy pursued in the end?

Li Jinan was silent for a while, his eyes gradually turned red. He raised his head, his stubborn face showing confusion:

"Brother Jinchen, is it worth it?"

Pei Jinchen: "Hmm?"

Li Jinan followed Pei Jinchen into the house. He closed the door, walked up to Pei Jinchen, and continued to ask stubbornly:

"Brother Jinchen, is everything you have done worth it?"

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Li Jingjing looked at her brother with red eyes, a little worried, and asked obediently.

Li Jinan sniffed, smiled and shook his head: "Nothing, sister."

Li Jingjing came down from Pei Jinchen's arms, pointed at her brother, and pouted:

"Brother, crying and laughing at the same time is really ugly!"

Li Jinan looked at his sister's innocent eyes, and most of the sadness in his heart disappeared. He reached out and held his sister's rebellious hand, then hugged his sister and sat on the small bench in the yard.

"Sit down."

Seeing that his sister was seated, Li Jinan pulled a small stool from the side and sat a little behind his sister to the right, so that he could keep an eye on his sister's situation at all times.

Li Jingjing sat down, holding the small stool with her two little hands, and turned to look at her brother. Her two big watery eyes were full of concern, and her soft voice sounded:

"Is my brother feeling better now?"

Li Jinan reached out and pinched his sister's chubby face:

"Much better. Bro, bro, much better."

Li Jinan repeated what he said word by word.

Li Jingjing tilted her head and looked here and there. She found that although her brother's eyes were red, his smile was sincere. She nodded with a serious look:

"That's much better. This way, brother is a good boy! Daddy will definitely come back."

In order not to make his sister worry, Li Jinan nodded and said, "Yes. Jingjing, be good. Daddy will be back soon."

Li Jingjing looked at Li Jinan with his eyes rolling around, a little suspicious, but still smiled and nodded slightly.

"Yeah, okay. Jingjing will be good."

As she said that, she looked at Pei Jinchen: "Brother Jinchen, bear witness for me, brother, you are not allowed to cheat."

Pei Jinchen, who had been paying attention to the friendly interaction between the brother and sister, saw the little girl looking at him and calling him to testify, and smiled softly:

"Okay, Brother Jinchen will testify for you two."

"Thank you, Brother Jinchen!"

"Thank you, Brother Jinchen."

Pei Jinchen thought about the two bags of things he bought after saying goodbye to Nan Xiang. He took them out and opened the bag under the expectant gazes of Li Jinan and Li Jingjing:

"Brother bought some things for you."

Jingjing tilted her head, shook her two little tufts, and asked, "What is that?"

"Brother Jinchen, you don't have to spend so much money."

"Shuanzi, your father helped me before. Besides, your father and I are good friends with similar interests. It is my duty to take care of you two."

Li Jinan looked at Pei Jinchen, thought about it, and nodded gently: "Okay, Brother Jinchen, I'll do as you say."

Pei Jinchen knew Li Jinan’s father, Li Mingzhao, who had been friends for many years and was also his mentor in life.

Pei Jinchen and Li Mingzhao call each other brothers, so Li Jinan should call Pei Jinchen uncle.

But when they met for the first time, Li Jinan stubbornly called him brother. Later, Li Mingzhao and his mother taught him many times, but he still called him brother.

When asked why, he just said, "Because Brother Jinchen is good-looking. If I call him uncle, it will make me look old."

There is some truth in this.

Seeing the child like this, Pei Jinchen and Li Mingzhao did not continue to worry about the issue of address.

Since Li Jinan called him that, his sister Li Jingjing naturally followed suit and called him brother. However, she did not call him "Brother Jinchen" like Li Jinan did, but added the word "brother" and called Pei Jinchen "Brother Jinchen".

This is why Li Jinan and Li Jingjing call Pei Jinchen brother.

"Then I'll open it and give it to Jingjing first, okay?"

"Okay, okay!" Li Jingjing dragged a small stool forward a few steps and lowered her head to look at the things in the bag that Pei Jinchen opened.

After seeing the things, Li Jingjing's eyes suddenly lit up:

"It's shoes! New shoes!"

Li Jinan saw the small and beautiful red shoes in his sister's hands, which matched his sister very well, and emotions surged in his eyes.

His gaze shifted to the old red shoes that were much larger than his sister's feet, and his thoughts became more complicated.

Li Jingjing sat on the bench and couldn't wait to change into her new shoes. She also carefully put her old shoes aside because they were left for her by her mother.

Li Jingjing put on her new shoes, stood up and ran and jumped like a free butterfly.

Li Jinan looked at his happy sister, feeling happy but also extremely disappointed at the same time, with very conflicted feelings.

He clenched his fists. He was useless and couldn't even buy his sister a pair of beautiful and suitable shoes.

Pei Jinchen noticed Li Jinan's depressed mood, walked up to him, and patted him on the shoulder. The two exchanged glances and could both feel the meaning behind it.

Li Jinan felt much better. He looked at Pei Jinchen with a faint smile on his face:

"Thank you, Brother Jinchen."

The two were silent for a while. Pei Jinchen glanced at Li Jingjing who was running in the yard in new shoes, and then continued to look at Li Jinan's obedient and stubborn eyes.

"Shuanzi, I can give you the answer to your question right now."
