Chapter 4: Our Ferris Wheel

With a head full of scars, he wore a brand-name school uniform like a beggar's uniform, and walked casually regardless of other people's eyes. Cross the crosswalk, cross the overpass, cross the alley, walk through the greenery, and just keep walking.

When he arrived at Zuihou, Choi Jung-won didn't know where he had gone. I only saw half-old residential buildings on both sides, leaving a narrow street in the middle, and the scorching sun could not shine in, and it was rare to form a cool. After walking for so long, the hot temperature made him even more physically and mentally exhausted. So, with a turn of figure, Cui Zhengyuan walked into this narrow alley.

A few meters ahead, there was a little girl of seven or eight years old, wearing a beautiful school uniform, jumping up and down, humming a happy song without any scruples. It looks like an elementary school student who has just finished school. Maybe at her house, her mother is making food for her. As a result, her steps are exceptionally brisk.

"It's so good, carefree", Cui Zhengyuan walked with the little girl like this, looking at her like a beating elf. Although she didn't understand the tune at all, it didn't prevent her from transmitting happiness to herself.

The little girl seemed to have an inexplicable attraction, which made Cui Zhengyuan let go of the clutter and quietly followed her, walking towards the depths of the alley step by step.

Suddenly, Cui Zhengyuan's pupils shrank, and his face was full of horror.

He saw that upstairs diagonally above the little girl, there was a flower pot on the open window, and Jindalee was in full bloom. The point is that half of that pot is already sticking out of the window. But the little girl didn't see it, and was still walking forward. The alley is remote, there are no other pedestrians, and no one will see the impending tragedy.

Between the two tall buildings, the wind is very strong. Finally, a strong wind blew, and the pot could no longer bear it, and it was planted headlong. The little girl below had no premonition and was walking towards the place where the pot had fallen.

Seeing that tragedy was about to happen. Cui Zhengyuan couldn't think so much, and rushed up with an arrow step, pounced the little girl under him. At the same time, the right arm is raised and protected in a vital position behind the head.

The flower pot slammed into his arm, and the high-speed falling weight hit it like a train at full speed, and the severe pain instantly stimulated every sympathetic nerve.

Cui Zhengyuan snorted and felt a stream of heat flow into his neck. "On August 3, 2000, Lao Tzu has a bloody disaster today". His entire right arm was unconscious, and he had to use his left arm to prop himself up, barely sitting upside down.

The little girl also got up and was thrown down, her arms and legs broken. Although she didn't understand what was going on, it didn't stop her from standing and crying.

Cui Zhengyuan couldn't care about his injury, so he hurriedly squatted beside the girl and coaxed: "Sister don't cry, sister doesn't cry." The only left hand that could move also gently stroked the little girl's hair.

The little girl was just scared, Cui Zhengyuan coaxed for a while, and it was fine. Looking at the broken flower pot next to him and the blood still flowing on Cui Zhengyuan's arm, he knew that it was this big brother who saved him. Hurriedly grabbed Cui Zhengyuan's right hand and asked with tears in his eyes: "Brother, brother, does it hurt?"

was grabbed by his right hand, and the pain in his heart made Cui Zhengyuan's tears almost come down. Hurriedly withdrew his hand without a trace, squeezed out a smiling face, and said, "Brother is fine, it doesn't hurt at all."

Seeing that the little girl's broken skin was sticking to the dust, Cui Zhengyuan was afraid that she was infected, and his injuries were indeed serious, so he happened to see a clinic opposite the alley in front of him. "Look, it's all broken, let's go buy ice cream first, and then go to the doctor, okay?"

The little girl had surprising trust in this big brother who saved her, and nodded her head heavily, "Okay"!

Cui Zhengyuan took the little girl to buy cold drinks in the supermarket, the sweet and sour taste made her temporarily forget the terrible scene just now, and the little cat-like face smiled very good. Then they came to that clinic.

The little girl took the lead in running over and pushing open the door and shouted, "Grandpa Park Jung-kyu, come on, Brother Panda is injured."

The sky is thundering! Brother is fine, weishenme is a panda brother pinch?

As the little girl walked into the clinic, she saw an old man coming over, and Cui Zhengyuan hurriedly saluted and said, "Hello."

The old man nodded to him, then picked up the little girl and said dotingly, "Our Ji-yeon is naughty again?" Look at it, it's all bleeding."

The girl shook her head cutely, and said in a milky voice, "No, Grandpa Park Jung-kyu, it's such a ......." As he spoke, he explained what had just happened.

Although the child was incoherent, the old man still understood what had happened, came over and patted Cui Zhengyuan on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "The young man is good, I will replace Zhiyan's parents xiexie you." If it weren't for you, Ji-yeon's parents wouldn't know how sad they would be."

Cui Zhengyuan scratched his head embarrassedly, "Hehe, I didn't think about it that much at the time, I always felt that such a cute sister should not be hurt."

The old man first helped Cui Zhengyuan's arm stop the bleeding, and by the way, he also sorted out the other injuries, "Let's fight, look at you young people, you don't care about yourself at all." The old man has been a doctor all his life, and he has never seen any big or small injuries. With just one glance, you can see that he had just fought. It's just the old man's kind nagging, so he can only accept it with an open mind. Can Cui Zhengyuan tell the old man that I shot just now?

Xiao Zhiyan next to him smiled, "It turns out that Brother Panda's eyes are like this, brother rest assured, Zhiyan is starting to learn taekwondo." When Ji-yeon grows up, she will be able to protect her brother." Both of them were amused by the words of the girl and the little adult.

But Ji-yeon, who had just boasted that she would be able to protect Choi Jung-won when she grew up, immediately began to squeak and scream when the old man disinfected her with alcohol, and it was useless to persuade the old man.

Cui Zhengyuan took her little hand, looked at her pitiful tearful appearance, and said with a smile: "Isn't our brave Zhiyan still going to protect my brother?" Why can't you stand this little injury?"

Zhiyan said coquettishly: "But, brother, it hurts."

Cui Zhengyuan was stunned and a little distracted, although she was only an eight-year-old girl, her narrow eyes with thick eyebrows, big eyes were rolling around, and her coquettish expression was indescribably charming. This girl, she has grown up, but how did she get it?

In just a moment, Cui Zhengyuan came back to his senses and said temptingly: "If Zhiyan obediently asks her grandfather to treat her, my brother will agree to you with a request, how about it?"

Ji-yeon pouted, thinking seriously, and suddenly clapped her hands and let out a cry that looked like a dinosaur, "Then I'm going to play with Lotte Shijie, is it okay?"

Cui Zhengyuan quietly put his hand into his pocket, fortunately he has a habit of putting money in it. Otherwise, like Cui Siyuan, he handed over everything to the bodyguards to manage, and he would be embarrassed at this time. Turning his head to ask the old man's opinion, he didn't dare to take the child out to play without the consent of the adult. If the defendant is abducted, isn't he unjustly killed? This old man seems to be very familiar with Ji-yeon's family, and should be able to call the shots.

"Yes, Ji-yeon's parents won't be able to come back from work until late. She's bored at home alone, so there's nothing to do to play, but I'm going to bring her back on time." The old man agreed.

"Okay, my brother promised you." Cui Zhengyuan, who was authorized, agreed to the little girl's request with a wave of his hand.

"Oh oh oh oh, let's play, Grandpa Park Jung-kyu and Brother Panda are the best."

Xiao Zhiyan was immediately well-behaved when she heard that she could go to play, although the alcohol disinfection was really itchy and painful, and she couldn't bear it so that her tears would not fall.

Cui Zhengyuan looked at her bun face bulging because of the pain, and it was very cute. I can't imagine that this child has a strong heart, and he will definitely be able to withstand setbacks and achieve a lot of achievements in the future.

Finally waited for the old man to get it done, Choi Jung-won took out a tissue and helped Xiao Zhiyan wipe off her nose that had turned white due to eating ice cream, "Now, let's do the work of Lotte Shijie, gogogo."

Xiao Zhiyan jumped up all of a sudden, "Wow wow, go." While screaming, he ran out quickly on his short legs.

Cui Zhengyuan said goodbye to the old man, "We will come back on time."

Lotte shijie Cui Zhengyuan often comes, as long as the adults allow, he will run over with his younger brother and sister to play crazy. I bought the ticket with ease, "So, beautiful Princess Ji-yeon, what are we going to play first."

When Choi Jung-won bought the ticket, Xiao Zhiyan's eyes had already scanned the entire lotte and thought of what to play first. "I'm going to ride the Ferris wheel."

"Wow Ka Ka, brother, look, people are getting so small." As the Ferris wheel continued to rise, Xiao Zhiyan shouted against the glass window. Cui Zhengyuan also let go of his worries, and accompanied her to stick to the glass, watching the people who were gradually getting smaller below screaming.

When the Ferris wheel was about to rise to the highest point, Ji-yeon asked curiously, "Brother, is this the highest place?"

Choi Jung-won rubbed her hair, "Yes, this is the closest place to God." If you make a wish, it will come true."

"Wow, I'm going to make a wish". Xiao Zhiyan looked pious, folded her hands, and silently recited the words.

After she finished making a wish, Choi Jung-won asked, "What wish did our Ji-yeon make?"

"My wish is that my classmates will stop laughing at me in the future and be friends with me." Xiao Zhiyan was depressed and said in a whisper.

"Weishenme classmates laugh at you? Our Ji-yeon is so beautiful, everyone should like you." Looking at the painful and pitiful expression of such a young child, Cui Zhengyuan couldn't help but feel distressed.

"Because I ate a lot of rice, they all called me rice bucket and said I would turn into a monster, so they didn't play with me."

Hearing Xiao Zhiyan's words, Cui Zhengyuan laughed directly in his heart.

Sure enough, it was a child's trouble, so he comforted her, "It's okay, our Ji-yeon's wish has been received by God." In the future, Ji-yeon will have more and more friends."

"Really"? Xiao Zhiyan looked particularly nervous.

"Of course, God is very spiritual." Cui Zhengyuan swore that he couldn't bear to puncture a child's kind wishes.

"Wow, I'm going to have many, many friends in the future." Happy little Ji Yeon is spinning in circles in the Ferris wheel.

Getting off the Ferris wheel, the two played with everything in the amusement park again. Haunted houses, bumper cars, merry-go-rounds, none of them were spared.

Cui Zhengyuan bought a lot of snacks again, which made Xiao Zhiyan very happy. Her family conditions are average, her parents work hard, and they run a small shop. In addition, there is an older brother in the family, and the expenses are very large. So since she was a child, Ji-yeon has never eaten so much delicious food like she does today. In her young heart, the brother in front of her with a blue nose and swollen face is the best and most haode brother.

It wasn't until the lights were on that the two went back.

When they came to Xiao Zhiyeon's house, they heard the doorbell and a young couple walked out of the house. After seeing that it was Ji-yeon, the young woman held the child in her arms, and her eyes were red. They had already learned from the old man Park Jun-kyu what happened to their daughter today, and their hearts were always worried. Until I saw my daughter at this time, I couldn't suppress my excitement anymore.

Xiao Zhiyan helped her mother wipe away her tears and comforted: "Mom doesn't cry, Zhiyan is fine." With my brother here, Ji-yeon is very good."

Ji-yeon's father came over and said sincerely, "Child, you're here." We all heard Grandpa Park Jung-kyu say that if it weren't for you, Ji-yeon would be in danger. If it's convenient, please come home for a light meal and say a little bit of gratitude."

Ji-yeon's father has the simple appearance of ordinary people, and he also has all the problems of ordinary men, and he is not good at words. Being able to say these words is already the maximum amount of gratitude he can give.

But this is such a simple feeling, which makes Cui Zhengyuan even more cramped. He is accustomed to seeing examples of horses being photographed at the same time, and this sincere gratitude makes him feel very real.

Being thanked again, Cui Zhengyuan was also very embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "No, it's not too early, I should go back too." Actually, something very unpleasant happened today, which made me very confused. But after meeting Ji-yeon, I was infected by her innocent romance, and my mood improved. I think my family must be worried about me now, so I'm leaving."

Hearing that Choi Jung-won was leaving, Ji-yeon ran over from her mother's arms, grabbed the corner of his clothes, and cried: "Brother doesn't go, Ji-yeon doesn't want you to go."

Choi Jung-won squatted down and helped Ji-yeon wipe away her tears, "Ji-yeon doesn't cry, my brother's mother misses my brother too, if my brother doesn't go back, my mother will cry too." Can Ji-yeon bear to make her brother's mother sad"?

Xiao Zhiyan was very obedient, and sure enough, she stopped crying, and said expectantly: "Will I be able to see my brother in the future?" Will my brother take Ji-yeon on the Ferris wheel?"

"Of course." As he spoke, Choi Jung-won took off an amber necklace and hung it around Xiao Zhiyan's neck.

The amber is slightly yellow in color, and there is a stone that looks like a star inside. This is what Choi Jung-won picked up when he was playing in Jeju Island when he was a child, and he has always carried it with him.

"Wuli Zhiyan doesn't cry, brother, just like the brightest star in the sky, I look at Zhiyan every day, so Zhiyan must grow up happily."

"Wuli Zhiyan doesn't cry, this little star represents her brother. Ji-yeon, I have to take it with me every day. If you miss your brother, take it to the Ferris wheel, make a wish at the highest place, and your brother will appear by your side."

"Wuli Zhiyan, I will have to eat a lot of meals every day in the future, so that I can grow up quickly. When she grows up, Ji-yeon will be more beautiful and will have more and more friends. When Ji-yeon grows up, my brother will take you to the most beautiful place on Shijie to play."

In fact, Cui Zhengyuan knows that if he says goodbye today, he and Xiao Zhiyan may not meet again in the future. Today, children will believe these words, but Ji-yeon's parents know what is going on, so they keep watching him and his daughter chattering non-stop.

His shadow faded under the street lamp, but Xiao Zhiyan still refused to go back, and shook his hand vigorously at him, "Brother will take Zhiyan to play tomorrow!"

Cui Zhengyuan turned back step by step, looked at the little figure, and said silently: "Zhiyan, there will be no time in the future, you must grow up well."

Xiao Zhiyan is destined to be just a passerby in life. Appear in a hurry, disappear in a hurry. But I don't know Weishenme, because of this little girl, because of her little troubles, her little happiness, her own affairs don't seem to be so serious. At least, at this moment, Cui Zhengyuan's heart was unusually calm, and he had the courage to go home.

Is Ji-yeon really just an inconspicuous node in life? Our protagonist obviously doesn't know the wonder of fate!
