Zhou Chengchen really had a little girl’s temperament; she got jealous, she had bad thoughts, but in the end she was kind, and knew what should and shouldn’t be done.

In Zhou Chengchen’s eyes, a girl who could only live in a wheelchair—even without considering whether she was in any sort of competition with her—the state she was in alone made Zhou Chengchen feel pity.

If she could only live in a wheelchair, unable to run, unable to jump...

Zhou Chengchen felt she would have gone crazy long ago.

A few seconds later, that half a head poked out again, but it shrank back in less than a second.

Weiwei was already trying very hard, but she was still afraid.

In the end, under Mrs. An’s soothing, Weiwei didn’t stick her head out again. She simply hid behind Xi Siyan, and spoke to Zhou Chengchen in a clear, crisp voice: "Hello, big sister, my name is Weiwei."

Her voice was clean and straightforward, without any dragging or stammering, completely different from the way she had just cautiously poked her head out and then quickly pulled it back.

Zhou Chengchen didn’t know whether she should speak or not. She looked at Xi Siyan in confusion; seeing Xi Siyan give her a small nod, she finally smiled and softly said, "Hello, Weiwei?"

Mrs. An pushed Weiwei back toward the bathroom. At the moment they turned the corner, Zhou Chengchen still managed to catch a glimpse.

It was a very thin, very pale little girl sitting in a wheelchair.

How old could she be?

Seven? Eight? In any case, definitely not yet ten.

Because Weiwei was the same age as Zhou Qi, Zhou Chengchen instinctively felt that An Rui and his sister wouldn’t be too different in age either.

But she forgot—not every pair of siblings are boy–girl twins.

Before coming upstairs, she had always thought Weiwei should be about the same age as them, but in reality, the difference seemed a bit big.

Zhou Chengchen’s little sulkiness completely turned into pity.

Under Mrs. An’s warm hospitality, Zhou Qi and Zhou Chengchen both stayed at the An Family’s home for dinner.

It was just that there was one more person at dinner: An Rui and Weiwei’s father.

When he saw Zhou Qi and Zhou Chengchen, Mr. An also greeted them enthusiastically, but men and women were different; he naturally wasn’t as chatty as Mrs. An.

However, when he heard the names Zhou Qi and Zhou Chengchen, Mr. An was slightly stunned for a moment, but he didn’t say anything. He quickly returned to normal, only that the warmth from earlier now seemed tinged with a bit of restraint.

If it had been Sheng Yanxiao, he definitely would have noticed it at once and understood what was going on.

But Zhou Qi and Zhou Chengchen were a bit thick-skinned in this area and didn’t notice at all.

They finished dinner in a cheerful, harmonious atmosphere, and Mr. An insisted on personally driving each of them home, on the grounds that it was late and unsafe.

There was nothing strange about that. The three of them got into the car together, and Zhou Qi, with a hundred kinds of reluctance on his face, took the initiative to sit in the front passenger seat.

Zhou Chengchen gave him an incomparably gentle smile, as if to say: Big bro, you really know what’s up.

Zhou Qi glared back at her, full of indignation: Get lost!

On the road, Zhou Chengchen had originally wanted to ask about Weiwei’s specific situation, but then she felt that Xi Siyan probably wouldn’t say anything; it wasn’t exactly a good topic.

Instead, it was Zhou Qi who spoke first. He had heard it from An Rui. Only then did Zhou Chengchen find out that Weiwei’s psychological issues stemmed from a shock she experienced when she was very little: there was a home invasion robbery, a bunch of strangers grabbing things, smashing things, and even hurting people. Fortunately, those people still had a bit of conscience and didn’t lay a hand on a little girl who couldn’t even walk steadily.

But ever since then, Weiwei had no way of facing strangers. As for her legs, that was because one time strangers came to the house; Weiwei didn’t know, and when she saw unfamiliar faces she was so terrified she fell from upstairs.
