The black-haired girl sat under the tree, listening to the words blankly.
Like a forest shrouded in mist, it is blown away by the clear wind, and the warm and dry sunlight shines on the branches and leaves.
She could find many examples to refute her, such as the hardships of life and the fickleness of people's hearts, but the warm sunshine in Sophie's words made it impossible for her to have any idea of ​​resistance.
It would be great if everyone could do this.
Looking at Jenna who suddenly fell silent, Sophie felt a little embarrassed, thinking that her words were too harsh and the girl couldn't accept it. After all, she was still a wounded person. Maybe such thoughts also came from her own experience.
Looking around, she opened the small leather bag at her waist and took out a candy.
The white candy wrapper is tied into a small bow. When opened, a small white square appears inside, and a faint milky fragrance wafts out.
Sophie placed the candy in the palm of the hand of the girl with short black hair.
"Well, don't cry, eat another one. There are indeed hard times in life, and eating something sweet will make you forget about them."
"How could I forget?"
Jenna took the candy and wiped away the tears that were about to overflow from the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand. The depression and discomfort she had been feeling for these days finally burst out.
The chaos in her hometown, her father's uncertain future and the uncertainty of his life and death, and the confusion about her own future path, are like invisible and heavy locks hanging on her heart, making it difficult for her to be happy.
"Don't cry, don't cry." Sophie patted Jenna's back and sat with her.
"Yeah." Jenna answered softly, blinking her slightly red eyes hard.
"Okay." After a while, when her emotions had stabilized, she spoke again.
Seeing this, Sophie secretly let out a breath and relaxed.
"Candy will melt if left out for too long, so eat it first."
Jenna nodded slightly and put the milk candy into her mouth. The rich sweet taste appeared in her mind again.
She savored the feeling of happiness, then opened the candy wrapper in her hand. Inside the off-white wrapper was a clear pattern: an apple as golden as the setting sun. Beneath the apple lay three small translucent squares: red, blue, and green.
Even an ordinary candy wrapper gives people a delicate feeling.
She slowly smoothed out the wrinkles with her fingers, feeling the candy wrapper that still retained its fragrance.
"Do you like it? I have several more in my collection and I can give them to you as a souvenir." Sophie's familiar voice sounded in Jenna's ears. The feeling of her exhalation made her ears slightly itchy.
Jenna wanted it a little, but she also felt embarrassed. She felt that she had received so many favors from others for nothing, and she was still asking others for these things.
"Wait a mininute."
Sophie's warm body suddenly stood up and trotted away towards the tents in the distance.
Jenna wanted to speak, but the other party had already walked away.
Near noon, under the fierce white sunlight, Sophie walked through the paths between several tents, greeted the people around her, and then went into a tent and disappeared.
After seeing her disappear, Jenna felt a little empty inside. In the neighborhood or in this camp, she only knew Sophie. If someone else came over now, how would she explain it?
Fortunately, this feeling didn't last long, and Sophie quickly emerged from the tent. She waved to Jenna from a distance, then trotted over.
"Look, I collected all of this."
She put a booklet into Jenna's hand. The cover of this thin booklet had a star and a book seal. When it was opened, it contained light yellow pages. Jenna pressed her fingers on it and felt the delicate and smooth texture.
As Sophie helped to flip the pages, the candy wrapper sandwiched between the pages soon appeared in Jenna's eyes.
Different patterns are printed on each piece of white candy wrapper. They are colorful, varied in shape, and have clear lines.
"First, the common fruits," Sophie said, pointing to each of the candy wrappers. These wrappers were printed with various fruits, including green mandarin oranges, red pomegranates, yellow grapefruits, white jade grapes, deep purple mulberries, and so on. Below the images were brief words indicating the fruit.
"There are several sets of animals at the back..." Sophie flipped through the booklet, and candy wrappers of various colors and patterns appeared one by one, including animals, castles, buildings, fruits, extraordinary jobs, strange monsters, and so on.
...
"This one is the Night Wolf, and the one behind it is the Blue Golden Tiger. Oh, and there's also this Emerald Phoenix. I asked the bunny-eared maid for this one. It's very rare."
"I didn't collect the last set. I asked everyone in the caravan, but there are only a few of them."
As Sophie spoke, she opened the last few pages of the booklet. Several special candy wrappers fell from the paper. The patterns on them were extremely delicate and completely different from the previous ones.
One picture shows a woman sitting under a grape vine trellis. She looks peaceful and smiling. She is wearing a pomegranate red dress and has long green hair like leaves. She is holding a bunch of wheat ears in her hand, and the word "abundance" is written at the bottom of the candy wrapper.
One picture shows a girl playing music on a reef in the sea. She has beautiful long blue hair and her eyes are slightly closed. She gently strokes the strings of the instrument, while fish of various colors surround her in the sea. "Ocean" is written at the bottom of the candy wrapper.
One photo shows a girl sitting in front of a dressing mirror. She has golden curly hair and is surrounded by a girlish room. The girl is wearing a white dress and has pink hairpins on her ears. There is also a girl sitting in the mirror. She has the same face as the one outside the mirror, but she is wearing a black dress and the hairpins on her ears are also blue. "Mirror" is written on the bottom of the candy wrapper.
The last picture shows a woman holding a long sword against a kneeling knight, and a canonization ceremony is being performed. The knight, who is dressed in ordinary clothes, is gradually wearing exquisite steel armor, and the long sword in the woman's hand is gradually changing from wood to steel with a cold glow, spreading from the hilt to the tip of the sword. "Silver Iron" is written on the bottom of the candy wrapper.
