Disabled Childhood Sweetheart: A Humble Puppy Begs for the Young Lady's Pity

Zhou Jingchen went on a business trip to another city before the Lunar New Year, and Wenxi had no work arrangements at the moment, so she stayed at home every day.

That day, Xiang Qin went out to buy groceries, while Wen Xi was home alone, lying on the sofa chatting on the phone with Zhou Jingchen.

She held her flip phone to her ear, her long, seaweed-like hair framing her delicate profile, her fair and clear face radiating an air of pride.

"Haven't eaten yet?"

Zhou Jingchen's deep, mellow voice came from the phone, carrying a subtle, static-like sound that was strangely sexy and pleasant to listen to.

Wenxi lay lazily on the cushion, kicking her slender white legs, her voice soft and sweet: "No, Mom went to buy groceries."

"Has Aunt Flo left?" he asked.

The girl's cheeks flushed. "Yeah, I've been gone for several days."

After saying that, she said coquettishly, "Ugh! Why did you ask that?"

On the other end, Zhou Jingchen was standing at the end of the corridor outside the private room in the club, holding a phone, a faint smile on his lips, and speaking in a low voice:

"It's been half a year... what do you mean by that?"

He threw the question back at her, making her blush even more deeply. Embarrassed and indignant, she cursed, "Shameless!"

"Do you miss me?" His dark eyes were filled with intense longing, wishing he could fly back to her side right now.

Wenxi bit her lip, her tone crisp and decisive, and said haughtily, "I don't want to!"

"I miss my sister..." Zhou Jingchen's voice was slightly hoarse, making him exceptionally alluring.

Wenxi's heart pounded like a deer's, and just as she was about to say something, she suddenly heard a knock on the door.

He was immediately on high alert, so startled he jumped up from the sofa and whispered, "My mom's back. I'm hanging up."

She immediately closed her phone and went to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Lu Xiaobao was standing there.

She was wearing a pink down jacket, her pretty face beaming with smiles, and she was holding a heavy wooden box in her arms. She called out, "Sister-in-law."

Wenxi invited her in and poured her a cup of warm fruit tea.

"Are you on holiday?"

Xiao Bao put the wooden box aside, took the cup, and took a sip: "Yes, it's winter vacation."

"Sister-in-law, I brought you a gift today."

"What?" Wen Xi asked curiously.

Xiao Bao picked up the wooden box and handed it to her with a mischievous smile on his face. "My brother's secret."

It was a rather large, ordinary-looking wooden box, made of dark sandalwood, and secured with a delicate little lock.

Wenxi gently stroked the wooden box with her knuckles, gazing intently as she whispered, "What...is inside?"

"I don't know what's inside either. This box was given to my brother by my parents when they brought him home that year. They guarded it very closely." She smiled slyly. "Even the adults didn't know, but I found out, hehe."

Xiao Bao leaned closer and whispered, "I bet what's inside is related to you."

Ever since Xiao Bao learned that Wen Xi had not yet officially recognized Zhou Jingchen's status, he had been extremely worried about his brother and sister-in-law.

She was really afraid that her sister-in-law would dump her brother, so she could only try to help her.

Once, she saw through the crack in the door that her brother took out a small wooden carving that looked a lot like his sister-in-law from a box, his gaze full of affection and longing.

My brother is so devoted to my sister-in-law. If she saw this wooden box, she would definitely be moved to tears, and maybe she could even give my brother a promotion.

The more Xiaobao thought about it, the more he felt that he was extremely intelligent and wise.

When the two of them get married, she'll have to sit at the head table!

Wenxi asked her to stay for dinner, but Xiaobao said she had already made plans with her classmates. She handed over her things and left in a hurry.

Before her mother returned, Wenxi quietly took the box and slipped into her room.

She stared at the wooden box for a long time, wondering what was inside.

Xiao Bao gave her a key, a tiny key lying in her fair palm, waiting to unlock a vast secret.

She didn't have a penchant for prying into other people's privacy, but this was Zhou Jingchen, and she was incredibly curious.

What exactly is inside this ebony box? Is it something related to her?

Wenxi wanted to open it, but at the same time felt that it was wrong.

Fine, she made up her mind. Zhou Jingchen's things were hers, and she had full control over them.

With that thought, she gently inserted the small key into the lock cylinder, and with a soft "click," the lock opened.

Wenxi held her breath and gently opened the wooden box.

The wooden box was spotless, containing a jumble of items, some of which were neatly packed in transparent plastic bags.

Inside a plastic bag were several photos, all of her. Photos from elementary school, middle school, high school—there was one from almost every stage of her life. Up until university, Wenxi was charming and beautiful; the photo was a solo shot of her wearing a beach dress when they were playing in Haizhou.

Several lifelike little wooden carvings leaned against the corner of the wooden box: one of Wenxi sleeping on the desk, another of Wenxi with a beaming smile, a third of Wenxi crying, and a fourth of Wenxi jumping rope...

She knew that Zhou Jingchen had loved wood carving since he was a child, following in his grandfather's footsteps, but she didn't know that he had carved so many images of himself.

In addition, the box also contained small cards she used to play with when she was a child;

Her cartoon hair tie;

A small pink hair clip;

A pair of white cotton socks with lace trim;

The little notes she passed to him in middle school class were creased; she had folded them into paper airplanes before sending them to him. One of them contained their conversation; one handwriting was crooked and messy, the other neat and elegant:

"Little dog, do you want to make up with me?"

【think】

I want to eat Grandma's balut (fertilized duck egg). Buy it for me with your allowance after school.

Okay, little princess.

The box also contained her first baby tooth, which she lost when she was six years old... He stole that too.

She collected mostly odds and ends she had used.

Wenxi continued flipping through the pages and saw a familiar-looking item in a sealed plastic bag. She opened the bag and took it out.

That is......

Wenxi's eyes widened, and a blush quickly spread across her cheeks.

Those were her underwear!

No wonder, after Zhou Jingchen left, she discovered that a pair of pink panties in her closet were missing, and she couldn't find them no matter what she did.

Damn it, that's a pervert!

Wenxi gritted her teeth and continued flipping through the pages, finding another bra she had worn in high school. It was pure white with delicate lace trim.

At that time, her breasts were not large, and her bras were also small.

The soft fabric was securely packed in a transparent plastic bag, clean and seemingly still smelling of laundry detergent.

Her little face was so red it looked like it was about to bleed.

In the eyes of the elders, he was so upright and refined. Who would have thought that beneath that elegant and handsome exterior lay...

Does he have some kind of collecting obsession?

They stole so many of my private things.

Pervert!

Wenxi was both ashamed and angry. In a fit of rage, she turned on her phone and blocked his contact information!
