Lu Jiayan watched An Wan and Lu Zhili having a great time, and his cold heart gradually warmed up.
The sun is shining brightly, and it's warm and comfortable.
A gentle breeze is blowing.
Such days don't seem so bad.
A long-lost, relaxed smile appeared on his face, and his dim eyes seemed to shine brighter in the sunlight.
Just then, laughter and playful chatter came from outside the courtyard.
"Hahaha—come and see! The idiot is out! And that ugly monster is here too!"
"Wow, she's so ugly! She scared me to death."
"Ugly freak! Ugly freak! The Lu family has an ugly freak! Hahaha—"
"Holy crap, it's so ugly! I feel like throwing up. Ugh~ Ugh~"
Several boys around ten years old were leaning over the 1.5-meter-high fence of the yard, peeking out at An Wan inside.
She was so thin she looked like a skeleton, not just in her face, but also in her arms; beneath a thin layer of skin lay bones as thin as twigs.
Her whole body was so thin that she looked like a paper doll, as if a gentle breeze could blow her away.
It feels very strange and repulsive.
Hearing that the group of boys who had bullied him and were now bullying his sister had arrived, Lu Zhili's eyes turned red with anger. He stood up angrily, turned around, grabbed a broom, and swung it at the wall.
"You're the ugly ones! My sister is the prettiest." In his eyes, his sister is the most beautiful and adorable.
He simply wouldn't allow anyone to bully her.
"The Lu family picked up an ugly duckling! Hahaha—"
"Ugly monster, ugly monster! Hahaha—"
"Hahaha--"
The boys ran away quickly, but their laughter echoed from one end of the village to the other.
An Wan struggled to stand up, but her legs were a little numb from squatting for so long. After a few seconds, she felt less uncomfortable and had a chance to turn around and look at Lu Zhili.
"Fifth Brother—"
But it was too late; Lu Zhili had already chased the boys away with a broom.
When Lu Jiayan noticed that she wasn't moving, he immediately realized that her legs might be numb.
"Wanwan, how are you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Unfortunately, he couldn't help her, even though he quickly turned his wheelchair to find her.
"Zhili, don't chase after her. Wanwan's legs are numb. Go and help her."
"Huh? Oh." Hearing his fourth brother call him, Lu Zhili came back to his senses and turned his head to see An Wan leaning against the wall, unable to move. He was so anxious that he threw down the broom.
"Sister—" He was so frightened that his face turned pale and his heart raced.
It was because he dragged her to play jacks and squatted for so long that her legs went numb.
"Fifth Brother, I'm fine." An Wan looked up at Lu Zhili, who was running towards her.
She was deeply moved because it felt good to be cared for.
"Little sister, let me help you." Although Lu Zhili's IQ is only around seven years old, she has been well-educated by Yunping's family.
If you don't look closely at his silly, smiling face, you definitely wouldn't know he's a fool.
He helped An Wan sit on a small stool in the yard, squatted down, and massaged her feet.
"Fifth Brother, you're amazing! You're so good to me." Seeing how earnest and gentle he was, An Wan gave him a thumbs up in praise.
After he massaged my calves, the numbness really subsided.
I never expected him to be so caring.
He doesn't look like a fool at all; you wouldn't know unless you looked closely.
"Because you are my sister, Mom and Dad said that we must take good care of her. I love my sister too and want to take good care of her. I will try my best, please don't think I'm silly."
Lu Zhili revealed a silly smile, but his eyes shone brightly, like twinkling stars in the night sky.
At this moment, An Wan's originally cold heart warmed up again.
"Fifth Brother, you are the best, the best person. I will always love you. How could I dislike you for being silly? You are the smartest person. You should have confidence in yourself because you are really great."
"Hehehe..." After praising her a few times, Lu Zhili was so happy that she blushed and lowered her head to scratch the back of her head.
He would occasionally look up and steal a glance at her. Apart from his parents and brothers praising him, everyone else called him a fool or an idiot.
Only she praised him.
