A Young Woman's Heart

The ground was getting closer and closer, which frightened him so much that he closed his eyes and turned his head away.

But the drop tower stopped abruptly.

"Boom!"

He did this several times, and when he finally got down, his legs were so sore he could barely stand.

"Little Ji, Little Ji! This is so much fun, let's play it a few more times!" Duanmu Bi excitedly patted his head and shouted.

He immediately shook his head vigorously.

"Then let's ride it two more times!"

"once!"

"Then you can sit by yourself, sister!"

"don't want……"

"Shall we do it again?"

Duanmu Ji was forced to nod.

His slightly chubby cheeks were filled with reluctance.

After riding the drop tower, his whole body was trembling, but his sister carried him onto the aerial tricycle.

Basically, whatever activity is exciting, Duanmu Bi will play.

This aerial tricycle has become as gentle as a Ferris wheel.

Just don't look down.

He finally got to ride the bumper cars, but his sister was also crashing into people like crazy, making him dizzy.

He felt like he was being brainwashed by Duanmu Bi's wild laughter.

Even though she wasn't laughing, it felt like she was laughing.

"Hahaha—ahahaha—that's so much fun!! Xiao Ji, smile! It's so much fun! Hahaha!!"

Finally, the vouchers are almost used up.

There's one two-yuan note left.

The two of them rode the carousel once using this.

After a long day of fussing, Duanmu Ji fell asleep in his sister's arms.

When he woke up, he was sitting in a red round basin, his sister's clothes were wet, and she was giving him a bath.

"Ugh, it's so uncomfortable," she said, and simply took off her shirt and threw it aside.

"Huh? Sister? Where are we?"

"I took a shower at home."

"Oh……"

"Wake up, wake up! We'll have dinner later. I made you some fried chicken cutlets!"

"Really?" Duanmu Ji suddenly became a little more awake, because he was indeed starting to feel hungry.

"But first, I need to give you a good wash. Now, lift your legs up, and lift your armpits too, make sure they're all clean!"

"Hmm! Sister, can I take a bath with you every day?"

"Of course, no problem."

……

“Xiao Ji, you weren’t like this before. You used to love taking baths with your sister!” In Duanmu Ji’s not-so-spacious bathroom, Duanmu Bi insisted on squeezing under the same showerhead.

The misty vapor made it impossible for him to see how much she was wearing; he only felt that her skin was exceptionally smooth.

"When did I ever say such a thing?" Duanmu Ji said sternly. "Sis, it's crowded enough in there, can you get out?"

"Let's bathe together~ Little Ji used to say she wanted to bathe with her sister every day when she was little!"

"I never said that."

"She even said she wanted to be her sister's bride!"

"I absolutely never said that."

"I really did say that!!"

"Ugh... Sis, I just can't stand you anymore."

"Waaah, Xiao Ji doesn't like me as much as he did when we were little. I feel like crying."

"Go ahead and cry."

"Cry, cry," Duanmu Bi pretended to wipe her eyes with the back of her hand, then suddenly slipped behind him and grabbed his throat with her arm. "Hmph, don't move!"

"Hey!"

"Xiao Ji has grown quite a bit taller."

"well enough."

"He's almost taller than my sister."

"That's the best."

"But not yet!" She vigorously rubbed Duanmu Ji's head, creating more white foam, and then smeared it on his face, sticking to it like cake frosting.

"What's wrong...?"

"Xiao Ji, have you found a girl you like yet?"

"Why? If I really had a girlfriend, she would definitely break up with me if she knew I had a weird older sister."

"What? What's wrong with having me as your older sister? Two women will take care of you together! From the bed to the floor~"

"Stop, stop, stop—" Duanmu Ji helplessly pushed away Duanmu Bi's hand that was gripping his shoulder blade. "Fine, I'll go out."

"No, you're not allowed to go out until you've finished showering." The older sister finally calmed down a bit and released her grip on Duanmu Ji's arm. "It's Children's Day today, do you have a Children's Day present for me?"

These words left Duanmu Ji silent for a full three minutes.

He stared at the showerhead spraying water from above, and asked expressionlessly, "Is this really something a sister should say to her brother?"

“It’s okay, anyway, I often say a lot of things to my younger brother that I shouldn’t say.”

"Thank you for having some self-awareness." Duanmu Ji rolled his eyes. "Then I'll make you a Children's Day gift right now."

"What? What?" Duanmu Bi asked with great joy.

"You'll find out when we get out. Let me finish my shower first."

"Okay, I'll help you wash!"

"I refuse."

After taking a shower, Duanmu Ji, without even drying his hair, busied himself in the kitchen.

My sister is still washing up inside.

In the skillet, the chicken cutlet turned an enticing golden color and emitted an irresistible aroma.

"Hmm, that's good..." Duanmu Ji had just put it on a plate when he saw his sister running over in wet slippers, barely wrapped in a bath towel, practically clinging to him.

"What is this? Wow—Little Ji, isn't this a butt? But it doesn't look quite like your sister's."

"What butt... This is a heart!!!" He finally couldn't help but raise his voice to the highest level.

Chapter 89 June with its Shady Trees

Monday, August 2001, 6.

It rained all day on Sunday and didn't stop until early this morning.

At five o'clock in the morning, the sun was still shyly peeking out, bringing a few rays of light that proved it was already daytime.

The ground was still wet, and rainwater had accumulated in several small potholes on the asphalt road in front of the door. A sparrow fluttered its wings and landed, leisurely drinking water by this 'little river'.

Although she had already washed up and changed into her school uniform, Mo Xueyao still looked like she hadn't woken up yet, lazily leaning back in her chair while Li Wanyan combed her long hair.

There's nothing special going on today, it's just that my alarm clock went off an hour early.

Even the mother was still lying on the folding bed, looking like she was struggling to wake up from her dream.

My father wasn't home; he always had to go to the market very early to buy goods.

However, after the goods arrive, I will take a break before going home to work on the renovation.

The renovation is almost finished, so my father has been having more free time lately.

"So sleepy..." Mo Xueyao yawned widely, smacked her lips and muttered, but since she was already up, there was no way she could lie back down.

If you really want to sleep, you might as well go to school and take a nap.

The mother opened one eye with great difficulty, turned over, and went back to sleep.

Mo Xueyao and Li Wanyan didn't disturb her peaceful sleep. After carefully pulling up the roller shutter door of the fruit shop, they walked down the steps together.

A faint mist of moisture lingered in the air, as if shrouded in fog, making it feel somewhat damp.

The trees on both sides of the road are lush and leafy, and the color of the leaves is much lighter than a few days ago, perhaps because the dust covering them has been washed away by yesterday's heavy rain.

"Wanyan, when the classroom door opens, come sit in the band room. You can take a nap there—push the chairs together and lie down to sleep, or you can sleep on the foam mat."

"Mmm." Li Wanyan responded with her back to her and stopped in front of a steamed bun shop.

The steamed bun shop had only been open for a short time, and the owners were already extremely busy.

The rising heat makes you feel like you're in a sauna just by getting close.

It's way too early; many breakfast shops have just opened and haven't even had time to prepare breakfast yet.

"Boss, are the steamed buns ready?"
