I listened to my sister's words today.

"Sister! Sister! Wait for me!" Yun Yiruo panted and tried hard to move her two chubby legs like lotus roots, closely following the steps of the person in front.

At this moment, Jiang Ling seemed completely unaware of Yun Yiru's predicament. She still held her hand and walked forward with big strides.

Poor Yun Yiruo could only try her best to catch up, beads of sweat the size of beans kept rolling down her forehead, and her little face turned red from excessive exertion.

Seeing the distance getting farther and farther, Yun Yiruo became extremely anxious. She wished she could spread her wings immediately. Yun Yiruo really couldn't run anymore, so she sat down on the ground, gasping for breath.

"Sister...sister...I really...can't walk anymore..." Yun Yiruo shouted weakly, her voice full of grievance and helplessness. Hearing Yun Yiruo's cry, Jiang Ling stopped and looked back. When she saw Yun Yiruo collapsed on the ground, she couldn't help but show a trace of heartache. She hurriedly walked to Yun Yiruo's side, squatted down, gently stroked her hair and comforted her: "I'm sorry, Yiruo, sister didn't notice that you couldn't keep up. Jiang Ling helped Yun Yiruo up from the ground.

Yun Yiruo blinked her bright eyes, turned her head, and her gaze fell directly on the bustling ice cream shop not far away. She reached out her little hand and gently tugged at Jiang Ling's sleeve, saying in a delicate voice, "Sister, sister, I want to eat that~" Jiang Ling heard the voice and followed the little girl's gaze. She saw a crowd of people in front of the ice cream shop, with customers lined up in a long line.

Jiang Ling frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then replied softly, "Sure, but you can only take a small bite." Yun Yiru was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly, indicating that she would obey. However, Jiang Ling then changed the subject and deliberately teased the innocent little girl in front of her: "However, there are so many people queuing here, you may have to wait a while before you can buy it. How about this, do you want to give me a small reward?"

Without hesitation, Yun Yiruo stood on tiptoe and quickly placed a kiss on Jiang Ling's rosy cheek. However, this action didn't satisfy Jiang Ling. She shook her head in mock dissatisfaction, muttering, "Oh, how can just one kiss be enough? Let me collect this 'reward' myself." Before she finished speaking, Jiang Ling leaned forward and pecked Yun Yiruo's cherry-like, tender mouth with unerring precision.

The sudden kiss made Yun Yiru blush instantly. She squatted down subconsciously, covering her hot face tightly with her hands, and kept muttering, "No, sister... there are so many people around!" Looking at the little guy in front of her who was curled up in a ball because of shyness, Jiang Ling couldn't help laughing.

Yun Yiruo felt increasingly embarrassed upon hearing the laughter. She raised her head angrily, her eyes wide, and scolded, "Sister, stop laughing! Humph!" Seeing that the little girl seemed genuinely unhappy, Jiang Ling quickly stopped laughing, fearing she would annoy her. Then, she pulled out her phone and dialed the manager in charge of the area, asking him to buy her an ice cream and send it over.

Yun Yiruo saw this and blurted out, "Sister, you're cheating!" Jiang Ling was surprised and asked, "How can this be considered cheating? This entire mall is my property!"

The little fellow was so angry that he stamped his feet on the spot, muttering, "Capitalists who hang street lamps!"

However, just a few minutes later, the manager in charge of the area came trotting over, holding a seemingly expensive ice cream. He said to Jiang Ling in a fawning manner, "Mr. Jiang, this is the ice cream you asked for." After saying this, seeing that Jiang Ling didn't even look at him, the manager was very tactful and quickly turned away, fearing that his inappropriate words would upset Mr. Jiang.

Jiang Ling casually handed the ice cream in her hand to the little Loli and reminded her: "You can only take a small bite." Yun Yiruo stared at the tempting ice cream with eager eyes. Just looking at it made her mouth water. At this moment, she didn't care about anything else. She opened her mouth without hesitation, stretched it to the limit, and took a big bite, finishing nearly half of it in an instant.

Jiang Ling was stunned when she saw this. She hurriedly put down the ice cream in her hand and shouted anxiously, "You can't eat so much!" As she said that, she was about to reach out to take the ice cream out of Yun Yiru's mouth.

Yun Yiruo panicked upon witnessing this scene, hastily swallowing the unmelted ice cream in her mouth. Jiang Ling, who was standing by, sighed helplessly, reached into her pocket, pulled out her phone, and quickly dialed, ordering in a hurried tone, "Hurry and send the stomach-protecting and digestion-promoting tablets in the car!"

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Ling frowned, and scolded her seriously and slightly angrily, "Don't you know the condition of your stomach? How dare you eat so recklessly!" Faced with Jiang Ling's reproach, Yun Yiruo came back to her senses as if awakened from a dream. Guilt filled her face, and she hurriedly hugged Jiang Ling's arm tightly, begging for mercy in a tender voice, "Sister, I'm really sorry~ It just looked so delicious that I couldn't help but take such a big bite..."

When Jiang Ling heard this, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind – no matter what, she had to give this naughty little guy a little punishment. So, without hesitation, she shook off the pair of weak and boneless hands wrapped around her wrists and walked away without looking back.

Looking at her hand being mercilessly flung away, Yun Yiru was stunned for a moment, her mind blank. The sudden sense of loss seemed to well up from the depths of her heart, instantly enveloping her. She stood there blankly, staring down at her palm, as if what had just been torn apart was some invisible bond between her and Jiang Ling.

And now, it felt as if that bond had been severed, leaving her isolated and helpless. The feeling of helplessness in her chest made her heart ache slightly, her eyes began to redden, and tears welled up in them. A wave of bitterness welled up in her heart, and her mind couldn't help but recall every detail of her time with Jiang Ling over the past few days.

"Will my sister really be angry? Will she really abandon me?" Yun Yiruo couldn't help but wonder. Ever since she could remember, Jiang Ling had taken care of her meticulously, getting up early every morning to make porridge for her, and covering her up with the quilt she kicked off late at night, never letting her suffer any injustice.

This kind of care and warmth gradually made her deeply dependent on this "sister" who was a few years older than herself. This dependence was not only emotional, but also a necessity in life and her only source of security.

Thinking of this, Yun Yiruo could no longer suppress the panic and anxiety in her heart. Her heart beat faster and faster, as if she would lose the person most important to her in the next second. She suddenly looked up and saw Jiang Ling walking away quickly. A strong sense of panic suddenly rose in her heart. It seemed that if she left, she would never catch up, and would never be able to hold that warm embrace again. Without time to think, she hurriedly ran, stumbling in the direction of Jiang Ling.

"Sister! Sister! I know I was wrong, please don't leave me!" She cried out at the top of her lungs, tears rolling down her cheeks. The crystal tears were like pearls with a broken string, falling one after another. Her heart was filled with anxiety and regret, and the self-blame in her heart was growing like a snowball, making it difficult for her to breathe. "Wuwuwu... Sister, I really know I was wrong, please don't leave..." The more Yun Yiruo cried, the more helpless she felt like a child. Her steps were a little messy, and she almost fell several times, but she still rushed forward desperately, as if only by catching up with that figure could the fear and pain in her heart be soothed.

Jiang Ling heard the cries behind her, and her hurried steps suddenly paused. She turned slightly and saw Yun Yiruo stumbling towards her, tears blurring her face. She was shaking with sobs, and she looked extremely helpless. Jiang Ling's heart suddenly tightened, and the slight anger she had just felt instantly turned to heartache. She immediately turned around, squatted down softly, and opened her arms.

"Okay, stop crying." Jiang Ling gently embraced Yun Yiruo and patted her back. The reluctance in her heart instantly filled her chest. Looking at the sobbing little person in her arms, Jiang Ling chuckled and said, "You're still feeling wronged. Sister won't abandon you, understand?" Her voice was soft and gentle, as if she was comforting a crying child.

Yun Yiru buried her head in Jiang Ling's arms. Her tears welled up faster at the familiar scent, but gradually subsided. Jiang Ling ruffled her hair and whispered, "Be obedient in the future. Don't eat too much of the wrong things. Your stomach isn't well yet, and eating anything you don't like will make you sick, okay?" Her voice was filled with concern, as if the reprimand had turned into a gentle instruction.

Yun Yiru nodded vigorously and snuggled in Jiang Ling's arms. The fear and uneasiness in her heart finally dissipated gradually with her sister's comfort. She just felt that being able to be held by her sister like this all the time, as if everything in the past would become less scary.
