After turning two corners, a pit appeared before us.
The pit was filled with lotus leaves and duckweed. To the east of the pit was an open space with some tall poplar trees, forming a natural sunshade that blocked the sunlight.
This is the old place they were talking about.
Several teenagers were gathered together, seemingly playing something. Song Daqian and Lu Chengyang walked straight towards them.
"Tiewa, Huzi, what are you playing?"
Song Daqian shouted, while taking out candy from his pocket. Everyone looked over in the direction of the sound.
A short, thin, dark-skinned boy ran over first, "Brother Daqian, we're playing jacks!"
As she spoke, she took the lollipop from Song Daqian, grinned, revealing several gaps in her teeth, and said, "Thank you, Brother Daqian!"
The boy following behind him was taller and chubby. When he saw the candy, his eyes lit up. "Hey, Brother Qian, give me one!"
The people who were squatting on the ground also stood up. Song Daqian distributed one candy to each person. There were four men and three women present, and the candy they brought was just enough to be distributed.
They clearly play together often, and they always know exactly how many people to play with.
Lu Chengyang put Liu Jing down, and the three girls immediately surrounded her. "Little Jingjing! We haven't seen you for days! You've grown even cuter!"
Two of the three girls looked about the same size as Lu Chengyang, while the other was a little smaller. All three of them surrounded her, touching her little face and holding her little hand, their affection for her was undisguised.
"Little Jingjing, your face is so soft! I love pinching it!"
"Little Jingjing, your hands are so small! They're so chubby and cute!"
"Oh my! Little Jingjing's pouting is so cute, her little lips are so red and moist, just like strawberry jelly!"
Liu Jing didn't mean to act cute, but her soul just couldn't accept a bunch of teenagers surrounding her and saying she was cute. It gave her goosebumps. She just couldn't help but pout. How did that become pouting?
The boys over there also came over when they heard the noise. The skinny, dark-skinned boy who had been there first placed a hand on her head and rubbed it a few times. "Why does Xiaojing look like she's gotten fatter again?"
Although the movements weren't gentle, they weren't forceful at all; it just ruined poor Liu Jing's smooth hair completely.
The chubby boy also said, "I think I've gained weight too." Then he chewed the candy in his mouth loudly and said indistinctly, "Xiao Jingjing, you should eat less, or you'll end up as fat as me. It's not good for girls to be too fat."
Knowing they meant no harm and that her current body was just chubby due to her youth, Liu Jing didn't take it to heart.
Looking at the older siblings surrounding her, she said in simple terms, "My mom says I'm small now, so of course I'm chubby. When I grow up, my bones will grow and I won't be fat anymore."
The chubby little dumpling's serious face and tone instantly amused everyone around her, who all surrounded her, saying how adorable she was.
Seeing this, Liu Jing was at a loss. Even if she told them the truth, they wouldn't believe that she actually had nearly thirty years of experience.
