Zhao Tianrui was completely frightened. He imagined that his legs were broken and he could only limp every day. A group of friends followed him every day and tried to imitate his way of walking and talking. It was completely beyond his ability to bear.

"No!" There was a sudden scream.

"I don't want to be a cripple!"

"Don't let Xiaodong and Xiaoxi follow me to learn how to walk!"

"Being a cripple is not fun, not fun at all! Sister, please don't break my legs, okay? Ruirui doesn't want to be a cripple!"

Zhao Tianrui kept shaking his head, tears streaming down his face again. His voice became increasingly sharp as he kept saying "no".

"Why not? Didn't you think it was fun a few days ago? Why don't you think it's fun now?" Zhao Yueling's puzzled voice sounded.

Then, as if suddenly realizing something, he said, "Oh, I see! Are you tired of playing this game? How about we change to another game? What game should we change to? Let me think..."

Then he slapped his thigh and said excitedly, "I've got it. Instead of being crippled, how about we be blind? If you're afraid of the dark and don't want to be blind, then being deaf or dumb is fine."

Zhao Yueling smiled and held Zhao Tianrui's face, saying, "Come on, Ruirui, think carefully about what you are interested in. Don't worry, you are my brother. As long as it is what you want, I will definitely help you."

She acted like a good sister who loved her younger brother, and didn't realize at all that she had said anything horrible.

"I don't want it!" Zhao Tianrui's voice became even more shrill. He struggled with all his strength, trying to escape from the embrace of this devilish sister. He was afraid that she would really blind his eyes and make his mouth mute.

"I don't want to be blind, deaf, or dumb. Mom, mom, woo woo—"

Being blind or deaf and dumb is too terrible, and he cannot accept either.

Thinking of not being able to see anything anymore and feeling darkness in front of his eyes, he broke down and cried.

Perhaps every child will subconsciously call for their mother when they are scared, and Zhao Tianrui is no exception.

Zhao Yueling finally didn't want to pretend to be a good sister anymore. She sneered and said in a cold voice, "Are you scared now? You weren't like this a few days ago. I still remember you were very happy to learn from others."

"Why, it's fun to imitate the way a cripple walks, but you don't want to be a cripple anymore? Now you know that being a cripple is not a good thing?"

"You still don't want Xiaodong and Xiaoxi to learn to walk from you. Weren't you all so happy trying to imitate others a few days ago? You were all laughing so hard and even ran up to them to ask if you were imitating them. Weren't you so capable back then?"

"Why, you're only allowed to imitate others, but not others? Or do you realize how uncomfortable it is now?"

A series of lessons came down without any mercy.

Zhao Tianrui was so scolded by her that he forgot to cry. He just stared at her blankly without saying a word, as if he had been scolded stupidly.

After saying everything she wanted to say, Zhao Yueling finally felt a little relieved.

Looking at Zhao Tianrui who was stunned and silent, he shouted: "Speak up, let me ask you, is it uncomfortable to be a cripple?"

Zhao Tianrui was immediately startled, his entire body trembling. Then he nodded tremblingly and said, "It's uncomfortable."

My leg is broken, it hurts so much.

"If your leg was broken, you could only walk with a limp, and every step was painful. Then I would follow you every day, laughing and trying to imitate your walk, and even asking you if I was walking well. Do you feel uncomfortable?"

Zhao Tianrui imagined himself limping and walking in pain, while his sister was giggling and imitating his way of walking. He suddenly felt so sad that tears were about to fall.

He sniffed and sobbed, "It's uncomfortable."

"Sister, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have imitated others in walking. I will never do that again." He finally realized what he had done wrong and apologized sincerely.

A smile flashed in Zhao Yueling's eyes.

However, his expression remained unmoved, and he said coldly, "You have nothing to apologize to me for, and I am not the one you should apologize to."

The one who should really apologize is the comrade whose scars were innocently exposed and whose wounds were rubbed into him.

Although she apologized immediately, what good was it? Would an apology make the pain and suffering she had caused go away?

"Ruirui, go apologize to that uncle."

"Do you know who he is? Do you know where he lives? Do you know where to find him?"

Zhao Yueling asked three questions in a row, which made Zhao Tianrui dumbfounded.

Come to think of it, he really didn't know.

That was just a person they met on their way home. They didn't know his name, age, or address, and even his face had gradually become blurred after these days.

After all, to him before, he was just a passerby. If there was any difference, it was that he was severely beaten by his sister after returning home that day.

"I'll go look for it on the street, I'm sure I'll find it." Zhao Tianrui said with a sob.

"What if you can't find it? Beijing is so big and there are so many people. How can you guarantee that you will find it?" Zhao Yueling's tone was full of doubt.

Zhao Tianrui looked at his short legs, then thought about the path his mother had taken when she took him shopping, and he was filled with doubts.

Can he really find it?

The room suddenly became quiet, and Zhao Yueling did not urge them.

After a while, Zhao Tianrui clenched his fist and said firmly, "I will look for it slowly, every day. I will definitely find it one day."

He is still young and there are not many places he can go. When he grows up, he can go everywhere and he will definitely find it.

Little Zhao Tianrui held a naive idea, thinking that as long as he worked hard, he would be able to achieve his wish. However, he did not know that finding someone in such a huge city like Beijing was like looking for a needle in a haystack, and success was not something that could be achieved simply by hard work.

Fortunately, he has a sister who cares about him.

Zhao Yueling heard his firm tone and finally smiled with satisfaction.

"Then you must remember what you said today. I don't like children who don't keep their promises. You've already lied to me once. If you do it a second time, then from now on... I will never talk to you again."

"No, starting from tomorrow, I will go look for him after school every day. I won't give up." Zhao Tianrui promised seriously.

Although her sister was a little scary today, she was still the sister who would secretly give him little cakes to eat.

"Okay, I'll wait and see your performance. Just prove it to me with your actions." Zhao Yueling's tone revealed a bit of distrust.

"Well! I will try my best, sister, just wait and see!" Zhao Tianrui said seriously.

If he did something wrong, he had to apologize and find a way to make amends. He had to convince his sister that he really knew he was wrong and that he was a good boy who would correct his mistakes.

Zhao Yueling raised her eyebrows but said nothing.
