I listened to my sister's words today.

If Jiang Ling hadn't brought the little guy's plate in time, the small plate containing the cake would have been licked like a mirror.

Yun Yiruo watched the last piece of cake disappear with her heart filled with loss and helplessness.

He quietly touched his pocket and found a few crumpled coins inside, all of which were pocket money he had saved.

In the end, Yun Yiruo mustered up the courage and took out all his belongings from his pockets, all of which were scattered coins, and carefully placed them one by one on the service counter.

Every time she put down a card, her heart felt like it was bleeding.

After finishing, he quickly turned around and buried his head deeply between his sister's legs. He didn't dare to look up at the waiter or the gazes of other customers.

Jiang Ling patted the little girl, picked her up, and walked step by step towards the car parked outside the door.

The air was filled with chill, and the little one curled up in his sister's arms, seemingly finding some comfort in the warmth.

Before I even started the engine, the little guy burst into tears, his cry mixed with grievance and helplessness, "Ugh... wow wow wow... so expensive, I... I still want to eat potato chips!"

Tears mixed with snot flowed down, blurring her vision. Her little hands tightly grasped Jiang Ling's coat, as if this could ease some of the pain.

Jiang Ling patted her back gently and comforted her softly, "Don't cry, we'll come again next time, okay?"

When she got home, Yun Yiruo curled up in a corner of the sofa like a wounded deer.

Her body was still trembling slightly, and her sobs gradually became weaker, but there were still a few pearl-like tears hanging in the corners of her eyes.

While sobbing, he raised his hand and used his sleeve to wipe away the tears and snot on his face.

That look was both distressing and somewhat embarrassing.

Jiang Ling opened the refrigerator door and took out a plate of exquisite little cakes.

He slowly walked in front of Yun Yiru, then squatted down and looked at the poor little guy in front of him gently.

"Look, there's a delicious cake here!"

"Would you like to try it?"

Hearing this, Yun Yiruo, who was originally immersed in sadness, raised her head slightly and looked at the cake in Jiang Ling's hand with tearful eyes.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally stretched out his little hand to take the spoon handed to him by Jiang Ling, and scooped up a big piece of cake and put it into his mouth.

However, even with her mouth full of sweet and delicious cake, Yun Yiruo still couldn't stop crying.

She continued to sob while chewing the cake in big mouthfuls: "Wuwuwu... What a lousy cake that is so expensive and not tasty at all... burp!"

Jiang Ling looked down at the little guy in front of her. His round eyes were slightly narrowed on his small face.

His mouth was stuffed with a mouthful of soft and glutinous cake, and there was a look of grievance on his fair face.

Like a kitten out of favor, his downcast eyes revealed an unspoken helplessness.

I couldn't help but smile, the tenderness and love in my heart were intertwined, and I couldn't extricate myself.

“Still unhappy?”

Jiang Ling stroked the little guy's head.

Yun Yiruo's mouth was puffed up like a little hamster, but there was no satisfaction in her eyes.

I squatted beside the sofa and comforted him softly for a long time. Finally, I saw the little guy's shoulders relax, and the atmosphere seemed to ease a little.

Jiang Ling suddenly took out a small cloth bag from the travel bag next to her and opened it gently.

Inside was a gift she brought back specifically for Yun Yiruo - a furry hand puppet in the shape of a cute little orange lion.

The little lion's dark eyes sparkled.

Jiang Ling held the little lion and skillfully performed the movements in front of Yun Yiru.

Sometimes the little lion stands up and strikes a brave pose; sometimes it lowers its head, as if to show weakness.

Sure enough, Yun Yiru's eyes suddenly lit up, and a smile slowly appeared on her originally slightly boring face.

Blinking her eyes, she tugged at Jiang Ling's sleeve, opened her mouth, and eagerly called out, "I...I want to play!"

Jiang Ling smiled slightly and slowly took out a smaller hand puppet from her bag.

This hand puppet is a petite pink bunny with a more delicate body and exceptionally fine details.

When the little rabbit was put on Yun Yiru's little hand, the little guy's eyes suddenly became brighter.

Yun Yiruo held up the rabbit hand puppet and interacted with Jiang Ling's little lion with great interest.

Imitating the bunny's hopping behavior, he said to the little lion in a fierce voice, "Humph, you are not allowed to steal my carrot!"

Jiang Ling cooperated with her, letting the little lion scratch its head, and said innocently, "I don't have any."

After playing for a while, Yun Yiruo felt tired and leaned on her sister.

Jiang Ling hugged her, pinched her nose gently and said, "Little greedy cat, don't be sad about what happened today."

Yun Yiruo pouted and nodded, looking at her sister with sparkling eyes.

Jiang Ling scratched her face lovingly, then took out a small bag of potato chips from his pocket and handed it to her.

Yun Yiruo cried out in surprise and hugged the potato chips. Jiang Ling smiled and said, "I saved this for you."

Yun Yiruo nodded repeatedly and unwrapped the potato chips and ate them with a crunching sound.

Jiang Ling just watched her quietly, his eyes filled with endless love.

Yun Yiruo finally ate potato chips, and her mood was obviously better, but a hint of sadness still flickered in her eyes.

"elder sister."

Yun Yiruo's eyes were still a little moist as she bit the potato chips.

"Can I save more pocket money in the future? I...I want to eat a lot of delicious food."

Jiang Ling was silent for a moment, then gently stroked her hair and said softly, "Of course, you can save up money to buy whatever you want."

After finishing her potato chips, Yun Yiruo yawned slightly, her eyelids gradually drooping. Seeing this, Jiang Ling gently picked her up and walked towards the bedroom.

After carefully placing Yun Yiru on the bed and covering her with a quilt, Jiang Ling was about to get up when Yun Yiru drowsily grabbed the corner of her clothes.

"Sister, don't go." Yun Yiruo said vaguely.

Jiang Ling took off her shoes, lay down beside Yun Yiru, and hugged her gently.

Yun Yiruo rubbed against Jiang Ling's arms, found a comfortable position, and soon fell asleep.

Looking at Yun Yiruo's peaceful sleeping face, Jiang Ling gave her a gentle kiss on the forehead.

The little friend's breathing revealed a sense of stability and warmth. Jiang Ling whistled softly, pulled out his hand, and leisurely looked at the long-lost memories of the card array.

The house seemed particularly quiet, with no sound at all, except for the sound of the flowers and grass falling in the breeze outside.

Jiang Ling recalled that she had experienced similar days when she was a child. She also waited for adults to give her rare surprises for the little things she liked, and she also restricted herself from spending money.
