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

The next day, Wen Zhiting and Xiang Qin took the two of them for a walk around the city and then they went out for a meal together.

Xiang Qin wanted to buy clothes for Zhou Jingchen, but he said he already had plenty of clothes and told her not to spend any more money. However, Xiang Qin still insisted on buying him a set.

The afternoon was left to Wenxi and Zhou Jingchen, who invited Fang Haoyu and Jiang Xiaoya out to play.

The group went to the largest amusement park in Pingjiang.

The amusement park was crowded on Saturday, with not only children but also many young couples on dates, and the air was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

The two girls walked ahead, with Fang Haoyu and Zhou Jingchen following closely behind.

At this age, she is least afraid of the cold. Wenxi was wearing a trendy white halter-neck top and tight light blue flared jeans. She was tall and beautiful, looking every bit the youthful and pretty young woman.

Fang Haoyu chatted idly, and noticing that Zhou Jingchen's gaze was fixed on Wenxi, he sneered and retorted with a smirk:

"You can just stick it on and see it, or you can go home and look at it in bed."

Zhou Jingchen's face flushed red.

He looked at Wenxi with a flustered expression, and seeing that the two girls in front of him were chatting happily, he breathed a sigh of relief, frowned and said to Fang Haoyu, "Don't talk nonsense."

"Damn, what did I say wrong?" Fang Haoyu snorted, one hand in his jeans pocket. "Even rabbits don't eat the grass near their burrows, and you're trying to eat the grass right inside the burrow."

"I didn't." His face flushed instantly. He glanced at the figure in front of him and whispered, "Keep your voice down."

"Still trying to hide it from your buddy? My eyes," Fang Haoyu pointed to his eyes with two fingers, "you know, like the eagle eyes, right?"

He nudged Zhou Jingchen with his elbow: "Hey, let me give you a piece of advice: stop daydreaming."

"I'm not delusional." Zhou Jingchen lowered his eyes and continued walking forward, his ears turning red.

"Do you know why I say that?" Fang Haoyu pointed to his head, winking, "She has a problem here... she's a late bloomer than others."

"Who likes her? There's only one ending..." Fang Haoyu rubbed his neck with his hand.

He continued, "Jiang Xiaoya said a boy from Wenxi School has been pursuing her for months but hasn't won her over. At first, when he started pursuing her, she even called him crazy. Tell me, who's crazy? Dating is a perfectly normal thing, liking someone is a perfectly normal thing, and she called him crazy..."

「你看看高中那时候追她的，不是被她揍就是被骂，或者情书被交给老师，总之没一个好下场。」

He pointed to his head and said again in a strange tone:

"My mom says Wenxi has been a tiger since she was little. But I really suspect there's something wrong with her, and she doesn't act like a girl at all. Jiang Xiaoya is much better than her."

"Damn it, last time a few of us went to the university town to hang out, I swore at her, and she kicked my butt. Even my mom doesn't kick my butt anymore, but she did. Don't you think she's crazy?"

As he said this, he actually rubbed his buttocks, as if the pain hadn't subsided.

"I advise you to settle down first. If she finds out you like her, she'll kick you out of your lap. And she'll never speak to you again."

Zhou Jingchen hummed in agreement and looked ahead again.

Wenxi's hair grew down to her waist. She dressed very boldly, wearing a halter-neck top that revealed half of her smooth, fair back. Her skin shone brightly in the sunlight, as if illuminated by an incandescent bulb.

Jiang Xiaoya was also dressed quite fashionably, but her waist wasn't as slim as Wenxi's, her shoulders weren't as narrow and straight, her legs weren't as long, and her hair wasn't as soft and fragrant.

As Zhou Jingchen watched, he suddenly felt his breath getting hot and his face burning.

He tried to look away.

"Zhou Jingchen, I want a soda." Wen Xi suddenly turned around, pointed to the stall not far away, her face full of smiles, and shallow dimples appeared on her cheeks.

He immediately said, "I'll go buy it."

"I'll go with you." Fang Haoyu put his hands in his jeans pockets and glanced at Wenxi before leaving. "You're quite the boss."

Wen Xifei rolled her eyes.

After the two had walked away, Jiang Xiaoya nudged Wenxi with her elbow: "Hey, don't you think Zhou Jingchen seems to have gotten even more handsome?"

Wenxi followed the figure and looked over: "Really?"

It seems that's true.

Standing in front of the mobile stall, Zhou Jingchen was half a head taller than Fang Haoyu. He was tall and well-proportioned, exuding both strength and elegance.

He was dressed in a simple white T-shirt and jeans, looking neat and capable. The lines of his arm holding the soda bottle were smooth and powerful. Although he was thin, he was not frail. Wenxi had seen his abdominal muscles before, which were also well-defined.

His features are deep and three-dimensional, every part of him is impeccable, and he really is... quite handsome.

handsome?

The word "handsome" popped into Wenxi's mind for the first time.

She was startled.

Over the past decade or so, she has never thought Zhou Jingchen was handsome.

After just over a year apart, she found him even more handsome when they met again?

-

The bright sunshine made everyone look youthful, radiant, and beautiful.

Zhou Jingchen bought four bottles of drinks. He and Fang Haoyu each held two bottles in their hands and walked towards the two girls under the tree not far away.

As Zhou Jingchen approached, Wenxi suddenly said, "Zhou Jingchen, did you secretly get a beauty treatment?"

"What?" He was taken aback, not understanding what she meant.

"It's nothing." Wenxi put the straw in her mouth and looked down at the decreasing amount of green apple juice in the bottle.

Zhou Jingchen's legs are not very convenient, and he can't be without his crutches, so there are very few things he can do. They rode the Ferris wheel together and went to see the bird park and the ecological park.

Most of the time, he watched her silently from behind, seeing her hopping around like a rabbit and laughing freely and brightly.

Before parting, everyone was quite reluctant to say goodbye. Fang Haoyu casually put his hands in his pockets and said, "Maybe I'll come visit you next time I'm in Linshen."

"Okay," Zhou Jingchen replied.

On the weekend, Wenxi said she would take him to play near the university town. After lunch, Zhou Jingchen could take a car from there to the airport.

The two strolled slowly along the pedestrian street near the university town. Wenxi bought a string of candied hawthorns, and the two chatted casually.

"When are you coming back next time?" she asked.

"I don't know either."

She took a bite of hawthorn and licked her lips: "Zhou Jingchen, have you ever been to the beach?"

"no."

Wenxi held out the candied hawthorn to him, but he shook his head. She frowned and said, "You eat it."

He reluctantly bent down and took a bite. The sweet sugar coating wrapped around the sour hawthorn, and the wonderful taste spread on his tongue.

"Let's go to the beach together during the May Day holiday, okay? Let's go to Haizhou, which is a city right in the middle of us. They have a five-day holiday for May Day this year."

Zhou Jingchen walked beside her and said softly, "Okay."

He thought that maybe she would be in a relationship by then and wouldn't want to go out with him anymore.

Wenxi took him into the school and treated him to her favorite rice bowl in the cafeteria.

After the meal, I took him on a tour of the school.

"We usually practice dancing in this building." She pointed to a five-story teaching building and introduced it to him, her beautiful, delicate eyebrows raised, making her look just like a little magpie on a branch.

"The cafeteria I took you to eat at earlier was Cafeteria No. 1. We also have Cafeteria No. 2 behind the dorms." She asked, "How many people live in each dorm room?"

"Two," Zhou Jingchen said.

He lives in a double room, which his parents specially arranged for him because of his mobility issues.

Wenxi looked on with envy: "There are six of us in our dorm room, and sometimes we even have to queue to use the toilet."

They strolled to the cherry blossom path, where pink petals covered the ground and the air was filled with a fresh and pleasant floral fragrance.

"Wenxi."

He suddenly stopped. "I have something to give you."

Wenxi turned around and saw him take a pretty little pink box out of his pocket.

His dark, captivating eyes gazed at her: "This is for you."

"What's this?" Wenxi took it and opened it curiously—

Inside the box lay a silver necklace, its central pendant a crescent moon. The necklace was exquisite and shimmered with a soft light.

"It's so beautiful!" Her eyes widened immediately. "When did you buy it?"

He scratched his head sheepishly, his eyes glued to her face. "I bought this before I came back. Your birthday is coming up soon, so consider it an early birthday present. Do you like it?"

"I love it! I love it so much!" She took out the necklace. "Quick, put it on me!"

"Now?"

"Yes, right now!"

The two stood facing each other. She gathered all her long hair over her left shoulder and chest, and thoughtfully helped him steady his cane.

Zhou Jingchen leaned down slightly, the chain encircling her fair and slender swan neck, from the front to the back.

The two were very close, so close that the fragrance of her hair wafted into his nostrils and penetrated deep into his lungs.

Zhou Jingchen's hands were shaking a little, and the clasp was a bit small, so he couldn't put it on properly even after several attempts.

Wenxi reached out and patted his waist, feeling his tense muscles. "Are you all better?" she asked.

"alright."

It's finally buttoned up.

His palms were sweaty, as if he had just completed a difficult and important task.

The delicate silver chain shimmered in the sunlight, making the girl's neck appear even more graceful.

A gust of wind swept by, and cherry blossom petals fluttered down from above. Wenxi stood under the cherry tree, her slender white fingers fiddling with the silver chain around her neck. "Does it look good on me?"

Zhou Jingchen looked at her, his dark eyes as gentle as a spring breeze: "Beautiful."

It was already 1 p.m., and Zhou Jingchen had to go to the airport.

The two stood at the university gate. Before parting, he took out two thousand yuan from his wallet and handed it to her.

"Wenxi, this is the pocket money I've saved up. You can spend it."

Wenxi was slightly taken aback, but didn't reach out to take it. She glanced at him and asked, "Why are you giving me money?"

A slight smile played on his lips: "You can buy pretty clothes, or buy something you like to eat."

"I don't want your money," Wenxi said.

"Why?" he asked anxiously, his white knuckles showing as he gripped the money.

"I have my own money, I don't need yours."

A hint of panic flashed in Zhou Jingchen's eyes, and he spoke nervously, "But I want to give it to you."

She used to love stealing my allowance, why doesn't she want it anymore?

Could it be because of Qin Xiao?

Is she unwilling to spend his money because she plans to spend another boy's money?

Wenxi's expression was complicated. Looking at his well-defined fingers holding the cash, a subtle feeling suddenly arose in her heart.

Two thousand yuan!

Her monthly living expenses are at most 500 yuan, which is enough for her to live on for several months.

When I was a child, I took his pocket money because I was being willful and immature. Now that I'm all grown up, how could I possibly take his money again?

Zhou Jingchen felt uneasy, a sour feeling rising in his heart, and pleaded again, "Wenxi, please take it. This... this is something I specially saved for you."

Wenxi hesitated, thinking that this might not be a good idea.

Then she thought again, what's wrong with that? He's Zhou Jingchen, not some nobody.

Yes, everything Zhou Jingchen owns is his own.

She was deep in thought, her brows furrowed like a twisted rope.

Seeing her hesitate, Zhou Jingchen simply stuffed the money into her bag.

Wenxi suddenly looked at him and asked out of the blue:

"Are you this good to your younger sister too? Do you give her money to spend?"
