Lu Jun was tall, and although Lu Chengyang was eleven or twelve years old, he was not short either. Liu Jing was actually safe in his arms.

But the black dog was so huge that when it pounced, it raised its front paws and its tongue lolled out, its mouth right in front of Liu Jing's face.

Perhaps because she was still young, the dog in front of her seemed like a giant monster, its gaping mouth capable of swallowing her whole. Fear instantly overwhelmed her, and she screamed, "Ah—"

Seeing this, Lu Chengyang hugged Liu Jing's little head and pressed it to his shoulder, while kicking the black dog away. "Get up and get out of here! You scared Jingjing!"

At the same time, another boy's voice rang out, "What are you yelling about!"

Seeing Lu Chengyang's direction, he turned around and kicked the black dog again, scolding it, "Go back to your den!"

Fa Cai whimpered twice, wagged its tail, and reluctantly ran back to its little den behind the door.

Liu Jing was genuinely frightened. Even though she had lived a previous life, she was still afraid of large dogs because she had been bitten by a tall, thin greyhound in her past life, which left her with a lingering fear of large dogs.

The moment Fa Cai pounced on her reminded her of when she was bitten by the same black greyhound, doubling her fear.

I don’t know if it’s because she’s so young, but she was so scared that she burst into tears.

Lu Chengyang felt a wetness on his shoulder, immediately turned her little head, saw her tearful eyes, and hurriedly raised his hand to wipe her tears.

"It's okay, it's okay, Jingjing. Your brother is holding you. Facai can't bite you. Don't cry anymore, okay?"

The boy skillfully coaxed her, his tone so gentle that it immediately revealed his doting affection.

Liu Jing wiped the tears from her face with her small hands. She felt a little embarrassed, but at the same time, she felt warm inside because of Lu Chengyang's words.

She didn't intend to cry. She was scared, but not scared enough to make her cry. It was just that she was young and had strong emotions, so tears came out of her eyes without her realizing it.

Looking at the loving young boy in front of her, Liu Jing said, "It's okay, brother. I was just a little scared. I'm not scared anymore if you hold me."

The little one in my arms was chubby, with short mushroom hair, showing off her round and cute fair face. Because she had been crying, her eyebrows and nose were pink, and her sweet, childlike voice made my heart melt.

"Jingjing, don't be afraid, let your brother hold you higher." Lu Chengyang coaxed the little dumpling in his arms, using both hands to lift her even higher.

The young boy who had just come out also came over, smiling and coaxing her, "Little Jingjing, don't be afraid, brother has chased the dog away!"

As he spoke, he reached out his hand to her, "How about I give you a hug? I can hold you higher than Chengyang can!"

Liu Jing had no recollection of this boy. Even though she had seen him in her previous life, so many years had passed that her grandparents couldn't remember him, let alone the boy from next door.

Now this person is reaching out to hug her. Even though her body is small, her soul is vast, and she simply cannot accept it.

So she could only hug her relatively familiar cousin Lu Chengyang's neck and bury her face in it to express her attitude.

"well..."

"Hahaha..."

The boy's sigh and Lu Chengyang's merciless mockery rang out at the same time, and Liu Jing buried her face, pretending to be an innocent little person.

"Song Daqian, you're hilarious! Jingjing is my sister, and you think you can fool her?!"

Lu Chengyang laughed so hard he almost shook, and Liu Jing was afraid he would lose his breath and drop her to the ground!

The boy named Song Daqian's face instantly darkened. "According to seniority, Xiao Jingjing is my sister! Even you should call me brother!"

"Give me a break! Don't even think about taking advantage of me!" Lu Chengyang kicked him without any politeness.

Song Daqian was probably two or three years older than Lu Chengyang, and much taller. With a single stride, he easily dodged Lu Chengyang.

Boys often playfully tease each other. Seeing that he had dodged, Lu Chengyang didn't chase after him anymore. He hugged Liu Jing tightly and asked Song Daqian, "Is my aunt not home?"

Song Daqian led the two into the main room. "No, they went to the vegetable garden to dig vegetables. What are you doing here? Buying candy for Xiaojingjing again?"

This sentence shows that buying candy for Liu Jing was a common occurrence.

Unfortunately, she later forgot all of that.

"Yeah, I just wanted to come visit you!" Lu Chengyang replied casually.

Liu Jing suddenly realized that her cousin was no ordinary person; he was perceptive and tight-lipped.

Although they had no further contact after she left in her previous life, this time, she would do everything in her power to help her beloved cousin who doted on her.

"Okay! Let's go to our usual spot, Tiewa and the others are there!"

Song Daqian found the lollipop bucket on the small shelf full of snacks, took out a handful of candies, handed three to Lu Chengyang, and stuffed the rest into his pants pocket.

"Let's go, let's go!"

As he walked out, Lu Chengyang stuffed two of the strawberry-flavored cookies into Liu Jing's small hand and put the remaining one into his pocket.

"Eating too much will give you cavities! I'll save this for you!"

As he spoke, he put one of the coins into the coin box next to the shelf and followed Song Daqian out.

As the two walked out together, he said to the boy in front, "I put the money in the box for you!"

Song Daqian turned to look at him, "My mom isn't home, so consider this my treat!" As he spoke, he pulled out another lollipop and threw it over.

Lu Chengyang accepted it without hesitation. He saw that it was green apple flavored, tore it open with his teeth and ate it himself. "I can't always get something for free, can I? I'm making a profit by buying four candies from you for one yuan!"

"Heh!" Song Daqian chuckled and didn't say anything more. He lowered his head, unwrapped a candy for himself, and stuffed it into his mouth.
