In Every Life [Jenlisa]

Chapter 58

The autumn wind rustled as a group of children gathered in a small sand pit in the park.

"Let's build a castle," one child suggested.

The others agreed, "Yes, let's do it!"

"Should we invite Little Bookworm to join us?" someone asked.

Another child objected, "No, don't invite him. Little Bookworm only knows how to read books, he doesn't know how to build a castle."

A little boy sat alone on a swing nearby, his head down and a pencil in his hand, completely absorbed in the book on his lap.

The gentle autumn breeze blew, causing the empty swing next to him to sway slightly.

"What are you doing?" a soft, childish voice asked.

Lisa paused, his hand holding the pencil still, and looked up. The autumn in Haishi was cool, but the sunshine was still dazzling.

In front of me stood a little girl wearing a pure white fluffy skirt, with a few sparkling pearls sewn onto the hem. Her chubby face was very fair, and her eyes were bright and shining like little stars.

In her delicate hands, she held a small yellow dog, and the sunshine shone on her, making the pearls on her skirt sparkle like a fairy tale princess.

Lisa looked at the "little princess" with clear eyes and whispered, "I'm reading a book."

"Oh." The little princess blinked her eyes, and the stars in her eyes twinkled. "Can I see it?"

"Sure." Lisa held the book with both hands and handed it over.

The little princess tied the small dog to the railing next to the swing and reached out to take the book, glancing at it a few times.

"Oh, it's Sudoku!" She flipped through a few pages and exclaimed softly, "You're so good at it! We learned it in kindergarten, but I'm not very good at it. You've done so many!"

The little boy's ears turned red in an instant.

The little princess praised him for being talented! His black eyes sparkled as if he had just received his favorite candy.

"I can teach you," he said.

The little princess blinked, "Okay, let's have Little Hu listen too. It's not very smart, it ran around today and made me lose my way."

The little boy asked, "Who is Little Hu?"

The little yellow dog next to them barked loudly, as if answering his question.

The children playing with sand in front of them heard the dog's bark and turned around, shouting in unison, "There's a little dog too, it's so cute!"

"Is that the little girl? She's so pretty, let's invite her to play with us." "Sure, sure."

A few bold little boys ran over, their cheeks slightly flushed and their hands covered in sand.

They didn't mind as they scratched their heads and shouted, "Do you want to come over and play with us?"

Little Lisa's heart sank, and he lowered her head, tightly pursing his lips. She must go play with the sand, those people were building a castle, just for a little princess like her to live in.

The autumn breeze blew gently, very tenderly.

The little princess raised her head and said in a childish voice, "I don't want to play with sand, it's dirty."

The little boy in front of her turned pale in an instant and angrily said, "No one wants to play with that little bookworm, the little bookworm has no friends."
