Chapter 329 Best Friend

There was no sound outside the door.

Chi Zhishan asked again: "He Yuan? Is that you?"

The little boy's voice came: "Sister, it's me, Xiaojun."

Chi Zhishan was stunned for a moment: "Xiaojun?"

Why did he come here suddenly?

After thinking for a while, he asked through the door: "What's the matter?"

Although Li Jun's voice is soft and tender, and sounds like a child's, it is always slow and measured, revealing a sense of calmness and maturity.

"Sister, I have something for you."

Chi Zhishan hesitated for a moment, but still opened the door: "What?"

Li Jun was a little surprised to see her open the door so quickly: "Sister, you opened the door so quickly?"

Chi Zhishan bent down and touched his head: "It's dark, there's no light in the corridor, I'm afraid you'll be scared."

Li Jun stared at her for a few seconds, then pouted: "You're not afraid that I'm a bad guy."

Chi Zhishan laughed when she heard this, squatted down and looked at him straight in the eye: "You kid, what you say is quite interesting! I'm an adult, am I afraid that you will eat me?"

After a pause, he joked, "Are you a bad guy?"

Li Jun did not answer, but stretched out his hand carefully and handed something over.

Chi Zhishan took it and saw that it was a small pink hairpin with a lollipop-shaped decoration attached to it.

She took it in her hand and examined it carefully, then asked in confusion, "What is this?"

Li Jun said seriously, "This is a prize I won in a kindergarten activity. The teacher said I can give it to my best friend."

He paused for a moment. "But I've never met my best friend."

Chi Zhishan was stunned.

Judging from Xiaojun's appearance, he should have been in kindergarten when the end of the world came. Logically, he should be in elementary school now, but unfortunately he has no chance to receive education.

She held the hairpin and touched his head lovingly: "You mean, you want to give this to me and recognize me as your best friend?"

Li Jun nodded: "I like you very much."

Chi Zhishan was a little embarrassed: "Thank you for your liking."

She looked at the hairpin. The workmanship was average and it had been exposed to extreme heat, so the decoration had faded slightly and was no longer fresh and beautiful.

But the child still carries it with him all the time, which shows that it is something he values ​​very much.

Chi Zhishan asked hesitantly, "You may meet a more compatible partner of the same age in the future. Are you sure you want to give this to me?"

Li Jun nodded affirmatively: "Give it to my sister."

He also explained: "My sister is very kind. Not only was she willing to take me and my mother in, she also gave me several precious candies."

Although Li Jun is young, he is very mature and sensible. He knows that candy is now more valuable than the gold ring his mother used to wear. It is not available everywhere.

He suffers from hypoglycemia, and his mother often spends a lot of time and effort collecting candies and chocolates for him to replenish his energy in a timely manner.

The sister obviously didn't have much money herself, but she was not stingy. In just two days of being together, she gave him several candies.

And she is very much like my old mother.

Since the end of the world, his mother has become more and more severe, no longer as gentle and kind as before. However, this sister always gives him a motherly feeling.

Chi Zhishan carefully pinned the small hairpin to her ear: "Thank you for the gift."

After thinking for a while, he said, "Wait here for a moment."

Then he went into the room, opened the bottom drawer of the bedside table, and found a small silver bracelet.

"Good friends are mutual. Sister also has a gift for you."

She came to Li Jun, squatted down again, and put the bracelet on his hand.

"This is the bracelet I wore when I was a child. I was about your age then. I am giving it to you now. I hope you can grow up healthy and strong like I did when I was a child."

Li Jun stared at the small silver bracelet on his wrist for a while.

Chi Zhishan waved her hand in front of his eyes: "Xiaojun? What's wrong? Don't you like it?"

Li Jun quickly retracted his arm and put his hands behind his back, as if he was afraid that Chi Zhishan would take the bracelet back: "Xiaojun likes it very much. Thank you, sister."

Chi Zhishan smiled: "That's good. I thought you would dislike it because it's something for girls."

Li Jun shook his head: "I don't mind giving it up."

Then he emphasized, "I really like it. Thank you, sister."

Chi Zhishan laughed at him: "You said thank you several times!"

Then he stood up and said, "Go back and rest!"

Li Jun said "hmm" and turned to leave. After walking a few steps, he turned back and said solemnly:

"Goodbye, sister."

Chi Zhishan smiled and waved her hands: "Good dream! See you tomorrow morning."

Li Jun said nothing more and went downstairs slowly.

The next day, Chi Zhishan and He Yuan sat at the dining table to eat breakfast, each with a sausage, a bag of dry crispy noodles, and a small cup of water.

He Yuan took a bite of sausage, looked at the weird pink lollipop hairpin on her head, and asked, "Where did you get this hairpin?"

Chi Zhishan smiled and said, "Xiaojun gave it to me."

He Yuan was a little surprised: "When? Why didn't I know?"

Chi Zhishan crushed the dry crispy noodles and ate them bit by bit with her hands: "It was last night."

"Last night?" He Yuan frowned. "Did he go to your room?"

Chi Zhishan nodded: "Yes, he sent me a small gift."

He Yuan's face was full of disapproval: "When I'm not with you in the future, don't open the door to outsiders casually."

Chi Zhishan explained: "I was indeed hesitant at first. But now there is no light in the house, and the corridor is so dark that I am afraid to walk alone at night, let alone the children. I really can't bear to lock him out alone!"

Seeing that He Yuan was still frowning, she comforted him, "It's okay, I'm fine!"

He Yuan was silent for a while, then said, "Don't do this again in the future."

Then he looked at the hairpin in her hair and said, "It's quite childish, but it doesn't suit you very well."

Chi Zhishan's mouth felt dry from chewing the crispy noodles. She took a sip of water from the cup and then said with a smile:

"You mean to say that I'm childish for wearing this?"

She took off the lollipop hairpin from her hair and looked at it in her palm: "It's a token of my child's love."

As he spoke, he lifted it up and shook it towards He Yuan: "Xiaojun said that this is a gift he is going to give to his best friend. This is a sign of recognition from the kid."

He Yuan was silent for a while, then said softly: "The gift is small but the sentiment is great. So you should keep it well."

Then he reminded him again: "But don't open the door for him easily in the future."

Chi Zhishan smiled and pinned the hairpin back on her hair: "Okay, got it!"

Then she pretended to be fierce and said to him: "I know this doesn't look good on me, but you are not allowed to laugh at me!"
