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

Wenxi didn't like being called "older sister," feeling it added unnecessary responsibility and pressure to her.

She wanted to be a princess or a young lady, so she ordered Zhou Jingchen to call her that.

There was a boy named Fang Haoyu in the same courtyard, the same age as the two of them, and the three of them often played together.

On one occasion, Fang Haoyu overheard Zhou Jingchen addressing Wenxi as "Princess," and Fang Haoyu asked, "If she's a princess, are you a prince?"

Wenxi glanced at him sideways: "Have you ever seen a lame prince?"

The girl's unintentional remark struck Zhou Jingchen's sensitive and fragile heart clearly.

Wenxi is a princess, Fang Haoyu can be a prince, and everyone else can be a prince, but Zhou Jingchen, who is lame, cannot be her prince.

At that time, he didn't understand what inferiority complex meant.

As he grew older, as he realized that all the adults who looked at him were filled with pity, and as he could never keep up with Wenxi's bouncy pace, his inferiority complex slowly took root and sprouted.

For a while, Wen Zhiting noticed his abnormality and found that he always kept his head down and didn't talk much, so he took him to the orphanage.

There, Zhou Jingchen saw many disabled children: those who had lost both arms, those who had lost both legs, those who were blind, those who were deaf... This greatly shocked the young boy.

Uncle Wen said, "Jingchen, sometimes life is not fair to us."

You have two legs, and you can walk with the help of crutches; isn't that a kind of luck?

When you grow up, you will know that everyone is disabled. Some people are disabled in their legs, and some are disabled in their hearts.

Don't be discouraged, child. This doesn't stop you from experiencing the world in your own way.

From preschool onwards, Zhou Jingchen has always had excellent grades. He has exceptional comprehension and memory abilities, works harder than other children, and is liked by every teacher.

Wenxi, on the other hand, was the complete opposite of him; the two were like positive and negative poles—

He is the positive one, consistently ranking first; she is the negative one, merely filling in the gaps and coming in last.

Wenxi didn't care about her grades and remained carefree and playful all day long, like a crazy girl who only knew how to play.

Sometimes she would ask Zhou Jingchen to do her homework for her, but Zhou Jingchen would refuse.

Aunt Xiang had already told him that helping Wenxi with her homework would only harm her. Zhou Jingchen would never harm Wenxi.

During the exam, he covered his paper tightly, refusing to let her copy it. Wen Xi was so angry that she pinched his waist and stomped on his feet under the desk.

Wenxi is bad, yet Wenxi is also the best.

The two went to school and came home together every day, inseparable.

When the weather is bad, the ground is icy or muddy after a rain, making it very inconvenient for Zhou Jingchen to walk.

Sometimes when he accidentally slips and falls, Wenxi will yell "Ah!" and quickly help him up.

She complained that he was clumsy, but she didn't mind the mud on his body. She used her fair little hands to pat the dirt off him and let him walk with his arm around her shoulder.

The year the two were in first grade, Wen Zhiting officially took office as the factory director.

After that, Wenxi's personality became even more arrogant. Every time she went out with her parents, there would always be people flattering her: "Oh, this must be Director Wen's little daughter, she's so cute!"

Wenxi always wore a beautiful princess dress and had two pretty big hair flowers in her hair. She walked with an air of arrogance, like a little peacock with her neck held high, both proud and haughty.

At school, and in Kangshi Lane and the surrounding streets, everyone knew her name.

When people mention her, they say: Wenxi, nicknamed Little Magpie, is the only daughter of Factory Director Wen, who dotes on her like a princess.

When she went to the pastry shop, the owner would always give her free pastries; at school, the teachers would never speak loudly to her; when the other kids in the alley played together, they would all give way to her; every time she went to the factory, some uncles and aunts would take turns hugging her and buying her candy.

Wenxi is incredibly beautiful.

Back then, every school had a group of bullying boys who didn't dare to bully others. They didn't dare to bully Wenxi, but they dared to bully Zhou Jingchen.

On one occasion, they called Zhou Jingchen a cripple in front of him.

"Hey, little cripple, what happened to your leg?"

"My mom says you're disabled, how can you go to the same school as us?"

"Little cripple, little cripple, Zhou Jingchen is a little cripple."

The news quickly reached Wenxi's ears through Fang Haoyu's mouth, and that very day, she single-handedly cornered the people who had bullied Zhou Jingchen.

She was furious, one hand on her hip, the other pointing at the group of children, her expression both cute and fierce:

"Zhou Jingchen is my younger brother, and none of you are allowed to bully him! My father is the factory manager, and if anyone dares to bully my brother, I'll have my father go after your parents! He'll kick you all out of school and out of the factory!"

One child retorted to her, "He's not your biological brother! You didn't have the same parents! He's an adopted child that Zhou Tianxiang picked up."

Wen Xi was so angry that she went up and scratched his face: "I picked him up, he's mine!"

Wenxi was chubby, and ordinary boys were no match for her in a fight. She grabbed one of the boys and hit him hard with both her hands and feet.

It opened its mouth and bit the other boy's arm tightly, causing the boy to cry out in pain.

The others were too frightened by her crazy behavior to approach her.

Wenxi bared her teeth and brandished her claws: "If you dare bully Zhou Jingchen again, I'll bite you to death!"

Another time, the two of them were playing soccer with Fang Haoyu. Fang Haoyu heard Wenxi call Zhou Jingchen "little dog," and he imitated her, saying, "Little dog, kick the soccer ball over here for me."

To everyone's surprise, Wenxi immediately flew into a rage, saying that Zhou Jingchen was her one and only little dog, and she wouldn't allow Fang Haoyu to call him that.

Since then, Fang Haoyu has realized that Wen Xi is too domineering. She can bully Zhou Jingchen, but she will not allow others to bully him; she can call Zhou Jingchen a little cripple or a little dog, but she will not allow others to say that about him.

Because of his leg disability, Zhou Jingchen's balance is not as good as that of normal children. Falling and stumbling are common occurrences for him, and he is often injured.

Once, he was walking too fast and fell heavily to the ground, hitting a sharp stone and scraping his knee until it bled.

When they got home, Wenxi carefully treated his wound with cotton swabs and iodine. After applying the iodine, she would pout and gently blow on it, just like Xiangqin did, and softly ask him, "Does it hurt?"

From childhood to adulthood, she has always helped him in this way. Elbows, knees, all kinds of bruises, bleeding, big and small wounds, Wenxi basically takes care of them when the adults are not at home. The little girl is already quite skilled at this job.

One summer vacation, Zhou Jingchen fell badly and had his right arm in a cast, making it difficult for him to do many things. Wen Zhiting and Xiang Qin went to work, leaving Wen Xi at home to take care of him.

She helped him get dressed, squeezed toothpaste, and served him rice. Although she complained, she did everything she could.

During that period, the most embarrassing thing for Zhou Jingchen was going to the toilet.

He was playing with Wenxi at Haiping Park when he suddenly needed to pee. At home, he has a toilet and can sit down, but it's very inconvenient outside. Boys need to be supported when they pee, otherwise they'll make a mess everywhere.

But he was using a cane with his left hand and had a cast on his right hand, so he couldn't urinate.

Seeing that he was feeling uncomfortable, Wenxi pulled him to the corner, reached out to help him support the little sparrow, and said in a muffled voice:

"Hurry up and pee, or I'm not going home with you."

"Can you close your eyes?" Zhou Jingchen said.

Wenxi scolded, "You're making a big deal out of nothing! It's not like I haven't seen it before!"

She closed her eyes, waited for him to finish, and then helped him pull up his pants.

Zhou Jingchen's face turned bright red, and he asked almost involuntarily, "Wenxi, if Fang Haoyu couldn't move his hand, would you still help him pee like this?"

Wenxi rolled her eyes at him: "No way!"

Zhou Jingchen was very happy.

Wenxi added, "He has all four limbs, and he's not without a mother. He doesn't need my help!"

Zhou Jingchen kept his head bowed very low.

Oh, so Wenxi helped him only because he was pitiful and sympathetic to him being a child without a mother and a disabled child.
