Boyfriend and Girlfriend

Jiang Wei didn't bother to explain. He didn't know why, but in the end, he had to accompany the little child to sell things after soaking in the hot spring every morning.

It was really only selling things. The little stupid child was very serious, shouting very earnestly, stumbling around with a big basket.

Jiang Wei couldn't bear to see it, so he helped her carry the basket together. He just loved to get sick, but his body still had the physical strength of a normal boy.

The little stupid child seemed to be very short of money, and she was picky. They sold wild fruits all afternoon just to buy two popsicles. Jiang Wei saw with his own eyes that her face, which was only as big as a palm flash with distress.

Although the child was in pain, she still bought one for him. Seeing Jiang Wei receive it, she smiled happily.

Gradually, Jiang Wei felt that it was quite interesting to have such a little stupid child by his side. It was just that the little stupid child thought he was mute, which kept him from recovering for several days.

It was only later on that Jiang Wei not only accepted it, but also accepted the title of 'little mute'.

One day it was slightly raining, Jiang Wei couldn't go to the hot spring in the morning, and originally wanted to just stay in his room. After thinking about it later on, maybe the little stupid child had gone again.

Jiang Wei told his mother that he was going on a walk, and went to the ginkgo tree with an umbrella.

As soon as he went, he could see the little stupid child was still waiting there, holding an old and rustic umbrella. There was a lot of thunder during the summer storms, Jiang Wei frowned and pulled her away from the tree.

"You're here." The little stupid child smiled happily, her brows and eyes curved, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Why are you waiting for me? Jiang Wei's words choked in his throat for a while, and finally remembered that he was still mute in her eyes, so he could only hold back.

"It's raining today, we can pick up a lot of fruit." Zhi Ying was still determined to sell fruit.

Jiang Wei led her out, with a sullen face, looking quite unhappy.

The little stupid child who was excited that she would no longer have to struggle to pick fruits, observed Jiang Wei's face carefully. Seeing that he seemed unhappy, she had no choice but to give up the idea.

After walking for a while, the little stupid child stretched out her hand and tugged at Jiang Wei's hand: "Let's go to the pottery workshop, it's fun."

Jiang Wei turned his head to look at the little stupid child's pitiful eyes, and agreed.

It was there that Jiang Wei knew the little stupid child's name for the first time: Zhi Ying.

It was also there that Jiang Wei discovered for the first time that the little stupid child thought of him as a girl.

The boss was nice. He saw the two children coming to play hand in hand, and he even boiled a pot of hot water and made tea for them.

After drinking an entire pot of tea, both of them felt the need to relieve themselves. The little stupid child skillfully held Jiang Wei's hand: "I know where the restroom is, so I'll take you there."

At that time, Zhi Ying was still young, and her pronunciation was not so clear. It was soft and waxy, with a sweet legato.

Jiang Wei had always liked to stare at her and watch her speak.

"You go first, I'll guard the door for you." The little stupid child stood at the door of the girl's restroom, with her head and chest held high.

Jiang Wei raised his head and glanced at the 'women' sign above, and turned around to go to the men's toilet, but was held tightly by the little stupid child.

"That's where the boys go, we're going here!" The little stupid child cried out anxiously, "You can't go there."

"…" Jiang Wei took away the little stupid child's hand, turned his head, and walked into the boy's restroom.

The little stupid child was very anxious, hugged Jiang Wei and refused to let him in.

They made a lot of noise and called the shop owner over.

"What happened?"

"She's going to the boy's restroom, I can't stop her." The little stupid child burst into tears.

Jiang Wei had no choice but to stop, reaching out to help her wipe away her tears.

The little stupid child sniffled and said with lingering fear, "Don't go there, it's not a place for girls."

"…" The shop owner pulled away the two children who were hugging each other, and had no choice but to pull Zhi Ying aside, and waved at Jiang Wei, "Go, go, go."

The little stupid child looked at the shop owner in horror, and rushed over to pull Jiang Wei back again.

"Don't go." The store owner laughed, "Isn't he your friend? Why can't you tell the difference between a boy and a girl?"

…

Jiang Wei collected his mood, and when he came out of the restroom, he saw the little stupid child with a dull expression on her face.

"Are you a boy?" The little stupid child looked at Jiang Wei in shock, as if she had been greatly frightened.

Jiang Wei nodded, remaining silent as usual.

"Oh." The little stupid child lowered her head and he wondered what she was thinking about. After a while, she raised her head and said seriously, "Although you are a boy, we are still good friends."

The two kids reconciled and came out holding hands.

The boss sitting in front of the counter teased: "A boy, and a girl, you guys can't hold hands, only boyfriends and girlfriends can hold hands."

Jiang Wei felt his hands being tightly held, and then the little stupid child replied seriously: "Then we are boyfriend and girlfriend!"

That summer break was probably the most relaxing time for Jiang Wei, but unfortunately the two missed each other for many years by mistake.
