Chapter 19 Marshmallow
At the end of August, the scorching sun has lost some of its edge and become just right.
A gentle breeze blew slowly by.
Neither fast nor slow, it touches people's hearts.
Amusement park.
Laughter and joy rang out one after another, the crowd was bustling, and everyone's face was filled with a relaxed and happy smile.
Ji Beichi's big hand held Ji Zhen's small hand tightly and they walked slowly in the bustling crowd.
Ji Zhen looked to be only about seven or eight years old, very small and thin, like a small bamboo pole, and it seemed like any strong wind could blow her away.
In fact, she was fourteen years old.
Perhaps due to long-term malnutrition, she is thin and obviously much shorter than her peers.
Her facial features are 50% similar to Ji Beichi's.
There was a hint of sickness beneath her fair skin.
There was no color on his face, and his lips were slightly pale. He looked so weak that he seemed like he could be blown down by a gust of wind.
Ji Zhen raised her eyes.
Looking at other children around, they were being held by their parents, wearing bright new clothes with colorful and eye-catching colors.
Some of the children were holding marshmallows in their hands.
While chatting with parents with a happy smile.
While eating with big mouthfuls.
Ji Zhen subconsciously pursed her dry lips, lowered her head slightly, her eyes fell on her simple and even somewhat old clothes, and a feeling of bitterness surged in her heart.
Her little hand unconsciously clenched Ji Beichi's hand.
She wants mom and dad too.
She wanted to eat marshmallows, too.
She also wants to wear a princess dress once.
Think about this.
The corners of her mouth turned down involuntarily, her eyes turned slightly red, and crystal tears rolled in her eye sockets, as if they would burst out in the next second.
Ji Beichi hadn't noticed his sister's mood change yet and wanted to pull her forward.
Suddenly, he felt his sister holding his hand tighter.
He paused.
Look down.
Ji Zhen was seen standing there motionless, her small body still trembling slightly.
Ji Zhen tried hard not to let her tears fall.
She was afraid that her brother would worry about her.
Trying hard to control your emotions.
I wiped my eyes vigorously, trying to force back the tears that were about to burst out.
But just as she was about to follow Ji Beichi and move forward.
Ji Beichi suddenly squatted in front of her.
Ji Beichi looked at his sister tenderly, took out a tissue from his pocket, and slowly wiped away the tears that were about to fall from her face.
His eyes were full of heartache, thinking of his sister who suffered from heart disease and couldn't eat too sweet food, but it should be okay to eat a little to satisfy her craving.
Then he spoke softly, his tone full of tenderness:
"Zhenzhen, do you want to eat marshmallows?"
When Ji Zhen heard her brother's words, she shook her head vigorously, her head shaking like a rattle:
"I don't want to. I don't want to at all."
Ji Beichi chuckled. How could he not know what his sister was thinking?
Rubbed Ji Zhen's head.
"Come on, I'll take you to buy cotton candy."
Ji Zhen held his hand tightly, her heart filled with confusion and guilt.
She knew that her brother worked very hard to make money and every penny was hard-earned.
She felt a little regretful that she shouldn't have been so willful and insisted on coming to the amusement park.
My brother has already spent a lot of money on tickets.
If he bought more marshmallows here, he would have to spend some money again, and she didn't want her brother to spend any more money.
After all, she knew that the things sold in such places were generally very expensive.
"Brother, I don't want it. I really don't like cotton candy. It's too sweet, and I can't eat too much. It's not good for my health. Let's go play some activities! I really want to ride the carousel. Brother, come on, let's go!"
Ji Zhen shook Ji Beichi's arm with an anxious expression and chuckled.
Ji Beichi felt bitter in his heart, he sighed softly, slowly stood up, lowered his head and looked at her and said,
"Brother wants to eat cotton candy. Can you accompany brother to buy some?"
Ji Zhen opened her mouth wide and her eyes suddenly fixed behind Ji Beichi.
He forgot to answer Ji Beichi's question, raised his hand and pointed behind Ji Beichi, with a surprised look on his face, muttering:
"Brother, look, there is such a handsome brother behind you! What a beautiful hair color! It feels so bright and eye-catching."
Ji Beichi saw that she was staring behind him and felt confused, so he slowly turned around.
At this moment, a piece of soft marshmallow suddenly stuck to his mouth.
The marshmallow feels soft and has a hint of sweetness.
He licked his lips subconsciously and tasted the faint sweetness.
When he saw the person in front of him clearly.
He frowned, with a complicated expression.
He took Ji Zhen's hand and took three steps back, feeling uneasy.
