The ups and downs of the urban jungle

After swimming, the two of them were physically exhausted. They washed up and ate something casually, not wanting to move again.

Ding Pei walked casually without any purpose. Sun Jian was originally accompanying Ding Pei, so he followed silently. Ding Pei walked to a quiet place and sat casually on the grass. Sun Jian also sat next to him.

The two didn't speak for a long time, just looking into the distance silently. Sun Jian glanced at Ding Pei secretly. Ding Pei calmed down, but his face was still full of helplessness and melancholy.

"sister! Are you - are you unhappy with anything in your heart? Can you tell me?"

"Sun Jian! This is my sister's own business, and you may not understand it, and you can't help me much."

"sister! Don't always treat me like a child! I - understand everything!"

"Is it?"

"certainly! I’m that old and have experienced everything!"

"yes! Today’s young people are very precocious and they should have experienced it all!"

"sister! You are only a little older than me, so you can be considered a person of the same generation."

"Maybe - sort of!"

"It is!"

"At that time, my sister was really good and had great opportunities and hope. However, my sister's fate was not good, and she met such a gangster and villain, and everything about her was ruined."

"sister! You mean - him——"

"Yes! He has fame, status, and power. My sister has no ability to resist at all. She knows that no matter what she does, it will be useless, so she has no choice but to accept her fate!"

"sister! you——"

"My sister thought that he was just greedy for beauty, so she agreed to marry him. Sister knows that she is beautiful and outstanding enough! I think he will be nicer to her and will be more at ease with her! However, the sisters thought that dogs cannot change their habit of eating shit."

"Such people! He is such a bastard, sister still has illusions about him?"

"Relying on his power and status, even after getting married, he still spends all day outside, not letting go of beautiful young girls when he sees them. At the beginning, my sister also argued and made trouble, but to no avail. He can kneel down to you at home today, but still harm others when he goes out tomorrow. My sister can't do anything to him, and no one can do anything to him. It is said that people can do nothing if they don't care about face. He has already gotten to this point, he can be shameless, it doesn't matter. But I can't do it. I'm still young, and I still have Mengmeng, and my parents. I can only swallow it and live my life.——

"sister——"

Sun Jian could no longer control his feelings and suddenly opened his arms and hugged Ding Pei tightly. Ding Pei leaned silently in Sun Jian's arms, neither speaking nor crying, but her tears flowed quietly, and half of Sun Jian's chest was soaked with tears.

Sun Jian unknowingly hugged Ding Pei tighter and tighter, and he began to tremble. Ding Pei seemed to gradually feel the changes in Sun Jian, and hurriedly broke away from Sun Jian's arms. Stand up and walk away quietly. Sun Jian felt ashamed and stood up. His face was red and his head was lowered. He wanted to follow him, but his legs and feet refused to obey him.

After a long time, Ding Pei wiped away her tears, turned around, and looked at Sun Jian with a smile.

"alright! Sun Jian! Thank you!"

"sister! You - cried! Is it - any better?"

"much better! My sister hasn’t shed tears for a long time! My heart is dead and people are numb!"

"sister! You must not do this, you are still so young! there's still a long way to go!"

Ding Pei burst into laughter suddenly:"Fool! This is what I should say to you! This is how my sister has been for the rest of her life! Sister is counting on you now, counting on Mengmeng!"

Sun Jian saw Ding Pei smile, and he finally relaxed his worries. Sun Jian hesitated for a long time, but still looked at Ding Pei boldly.

"sister! Don't always treat yourself as an adult and me as a child. If we go out with you, others may think you are older than me."

"So what, but I am indeed older than you, so I am your sister! Always will be!"

"sister! That was not what I meant! Of course I will treat you as my sister for the rest of my life. But you can't grow old before you get old and feel like you're already old. In fact, you have just turned thirty, which is the most golden age for women."

"But sister is now a wife and mother. She has no relationship or career. She is just a worthless body of a walking zombie."

"No! sister! You are not like this! You have Mengmeng, your parents, and me. You are Mengmeng’s mother, your parents’ baby, and my life!"

Sun Jian didn't know whether he said it smoothly or really from the heart. This natural confession, or revelation, made Ding Pei feel shocked and a little uneasy.

"Sun Jian——"

"sister! I am like an orphan you picked up on the street. You gave me a second life, gave me everything I have now, and also gave me the confidence and courage to live a good life. sister! You are my life, I will treat you as my sister for the rest of my life, I will love you with my life - love you for the rest of my life!"

"Sun Jian! You - don't - don't - think - and don't - say that! I——"

"sister! For these relatives around you and for me, you must live well and be happy! I am willing to be your brother and your pistachio for the rest of my life. If you encounter anything unhappy in the future, just let me accompany you and let me make you happy."

Although Sun Jian tried his best to define this true emotion between family affection and gratitude. But Ding Pei has already deeply felt the beating in his heart.

"no no! Sun Jian! I - you - it's getting late! We go home! Don't let your parents worry!"

"sister——"

Ding Pei stood up and suddenly felt dazed for some reason. Sun Jian quickly stretched out his hand to support him. Ding Pei slowly opened his eyes, and suddenly touched the sparks in Sun Jian's eyes. It was clearly a flame that could ignite life, and nothing else.

Ding Pei avoided it in panic and fled in a hurry.
