Chapter Forty-Seven: The Queen of the Cornfields
"Let me talk to Jenny alone, Louise. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Zheng Qingdao.
"But can it be done?" Mrs. Brown was not at ease, she knew that Jenny was hostile to Zheng Qing.
Zheng Qing smiled: "It's better to talk about it than not to talk about it, isn't it?" ā
Mrs. Brown was convinced, and Zheng Qing went upstairs and knocked on the door.
There was a loud sound of music in Jenny's room, and there seemed to be no knock on the door.
Zheng Qingdao said: "Jenny, do you want me to keep knocking on the door all night?" ā
The music stopped, and Jenny suddenly opened the door with force, and before Zheng Qing could enter, she returned to her bed.
It's a bit messy inside, but it's not dirty. Jenny knelt on the bed, her little ass pouting high, and she buried her head with a pillow.
Zheng Qing sat down on the edge of her bed, and Jenny moved in, not wanting to get too close to Zheng Qing.
Zheng Qingdao: "I know you have a prejudice against me, Jenny. However, although you are young, you are mature in your thinking, and you have more opinions than girls of the same age. ā
"So, even if you have a prejudice against me, you won't deliberately object to my words because of that prejudice, will you?"
Jenny snorted, and suddenly turned over, and changed to lie flat on the bed, her calves bent, but the pillow still covered her face.
This reaction made Zheng Qing realize that Jenny actually recognized her words, but she refused to say them because of the hostility in her heart.
Zheng Qing smiled faintly and continued: "However, your mother told me that you threw away all the peanut cakes and mung bean cakes I made, can you tell me why?" Jenny. ā
Jenny suddenly took the pillow away and shouted, "I'm terminally ill, terminally ill, do you know what a terminally ill is?" If it can be cured, is it still called a terminal illness? ā
Zheng Qing smiled, Jenny Ken spoke, which means that the matter is not very serious, "Of course I know what a terminal illness is, isn't it leukemia?" But, Jenny, you have not eaten the peanut cake and mung bean cake I have made, so why do you think that they cannot cure you? ā
Jenny just wanted to argue that peanut cake and mung bean cake don't cure diseases, but she knows it without trying.
Zheng Qing rushed ahead of her and said in advance: "You don't even want to try, isn't it because of prejudice against me?" ā
Jenny was immediately asked, and what she wanted to say was not said. She quickly closed her eyes and didn't look at Zheng Qing, but from this reaction, it could be seen that she was weak in heart.
Zheng Qing sighed, although Jenny is willful, she is definitely not the kind of hopeless child who is blindly willful.
As long as what you say makes sense and can convince her in reason, she will still think about it seriously. This kind of performance made Zheng Qing feel a little more good for her out of thin air.
Perhaps Mrs. Brown was right, Jenny was not like this in the first place, and it was only because of the stress of a terminal illness that she became like this.
At the moment, he said: "Okay, let's not talk about peanut cake and mung bean cake." What was the name of the little girl who bullied you at school that day? ā
Jenny opened her eyes, and she seemed willing to talk about her classmates, even though the little girl bullied her, "Her name is Jennifer." ā
"Jennifer?" Zheng Qing nodded, and asked again, "Can you tell me why they bullied you?" You should know that you could tell me as if I were a friend. ā
"I didn't tell Louise what happened that day, when I came back."
When he said this, Zheng Qing was actually a little worried that Jenny would suddenly say, 'If you want to tell you, just tell it', but fortunately, Jenny is not the kind of little girl who doesn't know what to do.
After glancing at Zheng Qing, Jenny said, "They refuse to be friends with me." ā
Zheng Qingqi said: "You mean, you want to play with them, but they ignore you and bully you?" ā
Jenny nodded slightly, but her expression was a little unnatural. As a terminally ill and ostracized little girl, it is understandable that she longs for friendship.
Zheng Qing was slightly stunned, thought seriously for a moment, and asked Jenny, "But, Jenny, have you ever thought that their refusal to be friends with you is actually very likely because they are not suitable for you at all." ā
"There are a lot of people to date with, so why don't you try to date with other people?"
Jenny just glanced at Zheng Qing very indifferently, she felt that Zheng Qing didn't know herself at all, and quickly said, "Do you think there are many people waiting to have a relationship with me?" No one wants to be friends with me, and everyone is alienated from me, even ...... You. ā
The last words made Zheng Qing completely stunned, Jenny would say this, he was really surprised. However, when I think about it, I am shocked to realize that it seems to be really the case.
Jenny was hostile to herself at first, but didn't she alienate her, intentionally or unintentionally? Compared to Jenny, he treats little Ryan much better.
I didn't realize it at first, but now after Jenny said it, Zheng Qing suddenly realized it in an instant.
From the first day we met, it was like that. Seeing that Jenny was hostile to herself, she intentionally or unintentionally did not provoke her or talk to her.
The reason for this result is that there is certainly Jenny's factor in it, but why not its own factor?
Unintentionally, he actually started a cold war with a little girl.
Zheng Qing felt deep self-reproach, not to mention that as an elder, even if he was just an ordinary adult, he should not be as knowledgeable as a little girl.
It is true that Jenny was hostile to herself at first, but if she bent down a little and said a few kind words to this little girl, Jenny is not a person who knows what to do, how can she always be hostile to herself?
And as an elder, it is not ashamed to be bent down to the younger generation. Whose parents don't often coax their children to make awkward trouble?
He treated Jenny like an adult, and he was angry with her, forgetting that she was just a child.
"You're right, Jenny." Zheng Qing spoke, "It's true that I alienated you, and I apologize to you." I guess you're going to give me a chance to make it up to you, don't you? ā
Jenny suddenly turned around and turned her back to Zheng Qing.
Her back twitched slightly, and Zheng Qing felt that this little girl was actually crying.
Zheng Qing hesitated for a moment before reaching out and gently stroking Jenny's hair.
Due to leukemia, the little girl's hair is very thin and yellow, and even if she strokes her hair, she can still clearly feel that this little girl is very thin, and Zheng Qing's hands can even touch her bones.
Jenny moved slightly, a little resistant. He moved inside slightly, but Zheng Qing's hand followed, so Jenny didn't move, letting him stroke his hair.
For this little girl, Zheng Qing suddenly felt deep pity in her heart, she was definitely not the kind of person who didn't know what to do, but the huge pressure of a terminal illness made her like this.
After a while, Zheng Qing said softly, "Jenny, if you have any ideas, you can tell me." I thought, maybe, no matter what kind of wish, normal wish, I can fulfill you. ā
Jenny didn't speak, not for a long time.
It wasn't until Zheng Qing felt that Jenny might not intend to talk to him at all that Jenny's extremely weak voice came, "I want to be the queen of cornfields." ā
"Queen of the cornfields?" Zheng Qing didn't understand what the hell this was at all.
Jenny, however, turned her back to him and didn't explain anything to him.
After thinking about it, Zheng Qing asked, "Becoming the queen of cornfields, will you be able to make a lot of friends?" ā
Jenny said softly, "The queen of the cornfield has always belonged to the prettiest girl, to Jennifer. If I could replace her as the queen of cornfields, she would be impressed with me. ā
Zheng Qing smiled, "You mean, if you can become the queen of the cornfield, Jennifer will make friends with you, right?" ā
Zheng Qing couldn't understand such logic, but he felt in his heart that if Jenny really replaced Jennifer as the queen of the cornfield, he was afraid that the other party would alienate her even more.
However, Zheng Qing didn't care at all, since Jenny proposed it, he would help her if he found a way.
Jenny nodded, her head still inward.
Zheng Qing asked again: "But, what is the queen of cornfields?" ā
Jenny stopped talking again.
Zheng Qing was very helpless, so he had to say, "Okay, I'll ask Louise." Get a good night's sleep, Jenny, and you'll be the queen of the cornfields, I promise. ā
Zheng Qing stroked the little girl's hair a few times again, helped her pull up the quilt, and even leaned down and kissed Jenny on the forehead on the side.
Jenny resisted a little, but in the end she just chose to close her eyes.
Coming out of Jenny's room, Zheng Qing closed the door with his hand and went downstairs to ask Mrs. Brown.
Mrs. Brown waited for him to come down worriedly, and when she saw Zheng Qing, she quickly stood up and asked, "Zheng, how is Jenny?" ā
"Jenny is fine, don't worry, Louise." Zheng Qing sat down on the sofa very calmly, and Little Ryan immediately pounced and got into Zheng Qing's arms.
Zheng Qing put the little guy on his lap, stroked his hair, and asked Mrs. Brown, "Louise, do you know what the queen of the cornfield is?" ā
Mrs. Brown was slightly stunned, but apparently she just didn't expect Zheng Qing to ask such a question, and quickly said, "Of course, Zheng, the queen of the cornfield, is the most beautiful girl I said before." ā
"The girl who was chosen from the school, and the girl who won this honor could get a crown, sit on a cart decorated with corn stalks, wear a crown on her head, and patrol the town as a queen."
"Oh!" Zheng Qing almost understood, in fact, he had seen a similar scene in the horror movie 'I Know What You Did Last Summer'.
In fact, there are many similar events or festivals in the United States, with great fanfare, and they are all held as if they were real.
It's an honor, and being able to win is like getting a certificate or a red scarf in China. Although it is false, children like it, and children who can't get it even cry about it and can't hold their heads up in front of other children.
After thinking for a moment, he asked, "But, Louise, do you know what it takes to become the queen of the cornfields?" ā
"Zheng, what do you mean?" Mrs. Brown realized something, glanced upstairs, and then asked Zheng Qing, "Jenny wants to be the queen of cornfields?" ā
