Chapter 129: The Little Brat’s Apology
Jin Fengqing looked at her teasing eyes, a little unsure of how to respond. She could only say dryly, “I won’t ask again.”
Zhang Can’er helped her up, took out a box of cooked fish from the space, and smiled. “I heard from Xiao Feng that you like to eat fish very much. I was originally going to send it to you tomorrow. Seeing the situation today, I can’t keep it. Let me tell you, this fish of mine is something you can’t even buy on the market now. You will definitely like it.”
Jin Fengqing looked at the box of fish that had been stuffed into her hands. The fragrance of the dish also wafted out of the box. Although she was not hungry, she felt hungry again and subconsciously swallowed.
The thought of returning the fish was immediately extinguished. She had no resistance to fish, especially braised fish and steamed fish. She could eat a lot every time. Although she had choked before, she still liked it very much.
“Thank you,” Jin Fengqing was silent for a long while, then she only managed to say these two words.
Speaking of which, this was the first time she had received a gift from someone else. She had never had this concept before. Experiencing it for the first time today, her nose couldn’t help but tingle, and her eyes turned red. Tears flowed down like they were free.
She didn’t know why she was crying. Her experiences since she was a child had told her that crying represented weakness. But seeing Zhang Can’er’s nervous look, it seemed that crying was not a bad thing. At least someone cared about her.
Zhang Can’er didn’t know how to comfort this suddenly crying little person. But she had experience with children. When Xiao Feng and the others were sad before, she had also cared for them a lot.
It was just that Zhang Can’er knew why Xiao Feng and the others were crying. It was nothing more than the adults not understanding them, or the fish and shrimp being cheated.
But she didn’t understand why this little girl was crying at all. But no matter what, she still had to pick her up and pat her back first. It was always right to comfort her.
Zhang Can’er carried her into the house, patting the child’s back while wiping her tears.
Looking at the child’s red eyes and nose, Zhang Can’er felt a surge of heartache. To cry so sadly, she must have thought of something bad. In addition, this child was so mature. Her experiences must not be ordinary. So the matter was not something she could imagine.
Jin Fengqing felt that she was about to be unable to stop. She shrank into Zhang Can’er’s embrace, as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances of the past few years.
But she cried very softly, as if she were suppressing something, not daring to be too loud, as if Zhang Can’er’s gentleness would disappear as soon as she made a sound.
Jin Fengqing’s small hands held Zhang Can’er’s neck tightly, crying with endless grievance.
After she had calmed down a little, Zhang Can’er finally asked, “Why did you suddenly cry? Did your sister do something wrong?”
Jin Fengqing shook her head, her pair of red and watery eyes staring at Zhang Can’er, not speaking, just staring, as if trying to see something in her.
Zhang Can’er’s brow furrowed slightly, and she didn’t know what to say. She looked up at Wan Feng and said, “Go and see if there are any candies in the cabinet.”
Wan Feng glanced at the child. Seeing that she was still staring at Zhang Can’er, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. But she also knew that it was a bit shameless to be jealous of a child.
She turned and walked to the drawer, opened it, and took out a few candies.
These candies were because Zhang Can’er liked to eat them, so Wan Feng had prepared some more.
Zhang Can’er took the candy, unwrapped it, and brought it to Jin Fengqing’s mouth. Seeing the child eat the candy gracefully, Zhang Can’er smiled and asked, “Is it sweet?”
Jin Fengqing nodded. The sweetness in her mouth seemed to have dissipated a lot of the bitterness in her heart. She wanted to stay in Zhang Can’t’s arms like this forever, to be so sweet forever. But reality did not allow her to do so. The burden on her was very heavy. The fate of her family was in her hands. She could not and would not allow herself to be so willful.
Jin Fengqing composed herself, reluctantly withdrew from Zhang Can’er’s embrace, jumped down, turned to look at Zhang Can’er, and said, “Sister, if I can still live, I want you to be my real sister. Is that okay?”
Zhang Can’er was puzzled. “Are you going to do something dangerous?”
Jin Fengqing nodded honestly but didn’t say the specifics. She didn’t want to tell Zhang Can’er about those dirty things. There was no need to dirty her sister’s ears.
“I can help you,” Zhang Can’er liked this child very much. Although this child was very guarded against her when they first met, the little girl was really likable. And Zhang Can’er was a face-con, so her heart was a little biased.
Jin Fengqing shook her head and refused. It was better for her to handle the family’s affairs herself. Since she was going to clean up, there would inevitably be a fierce battle. And many of these fierce battles were not fought with open knives and guns. Many conspiracies and tricks would emerge one after another. She could not be distracted to take care of her sister. Moreover, this was her family affair. It was better for her to handle it herself.
Seeing Jin Fengqing’s refusal, Zhang Can’er suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness. As expected, it was not good for a child to be too mature.
“Then you must take good care of yourself, understand? If there’s danger, contact Xiao Huan or me. Don’t carry it all by yourself. After all, you’re still just a child. It’s not shameful to rely on adults more,” Zhang Can’er said, stroking the child’s head with a light laugh.
Jin Fengqing was amused by her last sentence. Her small mouth curled up slightly, and there was an obvious smile in her eyes. She nodded, which was considered an agreement.
Zhang Can’er looked at her with a gentle gaze. Only when Jin Fengqing smiled could one see the childishness and innocence that a child should have.
After seeing her to the door, Zhang Can’er looked at the small figure getting further and further away with reluctance. Her mood was not very bad, but it was not very good either.
“Sister Feng, do you think we can see her again?”
Zhang Can’er’s worry was not without reason. They still didn’t know Jin Fengqing’s identity, but they could roughly guess that her identity was not simple, and even her family was not simple. This separation, who knew when they would meet again. After all, Jin Fengqing hadn’t given her a time.
Wan Feng wrapped her arms around Zhang Can’er’s waist, rested her head on her shoulder, and said with a sour tone, “Do you really want to be her sister?”
Zhang Can’er turned to look at her with amusement. “Are you even jealous of a child? I didn’t know you were so petty before.”
Wan Feng lightly bit Zhang Can’er’s shoulder and said with an angry look, “What’s wrong with a child? Can’t I be jealous? I’m just that petty.”
Ke Yajun and Zhuang Jiayuan, who had been watching the show from the side, couldn’t stand it anymore and went straight back to their room.
Zhang Can’er and Wan Feng fooled around for a while, then went out to Xiao Huan’s place. Just now, it was Xiao Huan who had called them. Otherwise, the two of them would have had more to fool around.
Anyway, Zhang Can’er had Healing Beans, and Wan Feng was also a gold level. In addition, she herself was a skill owner, so three of these a day was no problem. And the effect was extremely good. Even if they fooled around for seven days and seven nights, it would not be a problem.
The two of them came to this familiar yet strange office again. Seeing that everyone was there, Zhang Can’er felt that the matter to be discussed this time was definitely not a simple matter.
