Lili doesn't sleep in like other children of the same age. She likes to come to the courtyard in the morning and practice Tai Chi that Uncle Zhu taught. Uncle Zhu always takes care of the lawn and flower trees not far away on time. There is no need to be any close actions or greetings. The two just look at each other and then know that he (she) is right next to you.

But this morning, Lili stood in the courtyard. In addition to boxing and meeting Uncle Zhu, she also had different expectations.

It was yesterday, when she was punching in the courtyard, as if she could get closer to Uncle Zhu emotionally. Then, she found someone looking at her, and turned her head, and she saw a child hiding at the gate of the courtyard and staring at her eyes.

This is a closed high-end residential area with security guards guarding the gate and regular patrols. The security situation is extremely good, and it is difficult for idle people to enter. Therefore, the rich living here are very at ease, without a maintenance home, and the relatives and children are more at ease walking and playing outside.

The little girl was about five or six years old, wearing a big over-knee shirt with long sleeves, her skirt was dragged under her ankles, and her little feet in white cloth shoes were obviously wrapped. The thick and solid black hair was spread to both sides and combed into two braids behind her ears. She was holding a round-faced porcelain doll in her hand, which had the same hairstyle as her master and had bright red lips.

Lili waved to her and said loudly: "Hello."

The child was motionless, with a vigilant expression and was ready to run away at any time.

"My name is Lili, what's your name?" After a while, Lili said again: "Your toy is so fun."

The child grabbed the porcelain doll tightly in front of his chest.

"Her hair is the same as yours."

The little girl looked at the porcelain doll carefully.

"Can you show me the porcelain doll?" Lili waved to get her closer. Without getting what she wanted, Lili tried to get closer.

The little girl widened her eyes, clutched the porcelain doll, and escaped with a surprising speed.

Until night, Lili was still thinking about the little girl, her big eyes, her pouting mouth and her hair that was carefully separated to both sides. For Lili, she had never had a friend, and now her situation has changed. She thought she was like this, and would this little girl be the first one?

Under Hexi's rising sun, Lili was practicing Tai Chi and looked around from time to time, but she was disappointed that she didn't see the little girl, which made her a little listless. But after a while, when she turned around, she saw the little girl again.

This time she wore a headscarf on her head, without holding a toy, and her little hands were huddled in her long sleeves and could not be seen.

"Why didn't you take the porcelain doll today?" Lili asked quickly, feeling a surprise in her heart, and her tone seemed to be familiar with each other yesterday.

“Stand at home.”

"I get it." Lili stopped in the collection style, "Does the porcelain doll have a name?"

The little girl shook her head.

"What's your name? Do you know what my name is?"

"Lily."

"You have a good memory. Can you talk to me for a while?"

The little girl shook her head but didn't walk away.

"Where is your home? Did you just move in?"

A sleeve with a little hand hidden was raised and pointed at something.

"But I don't know what your name is?"

After pausing for a while, the little girl replied timidly: "Yulian."

Lili blinked her eyes, as if she was wondering if the name was good, and then smiled and said, "Yes, I like this name."

The little girl regained her vigilant expression, as if she was confused by the color of Lili's eyes.

"Will you come to see me tomorrow? I will be very happy. I have a big doll, very beautiful." Lili took a step forward and gestured with her hands.

The little girl misunderstood what she meant, turned around and ran away, floating away like a ball of pink silk.

The feeling of loss filled Lili's heart again. She sighed with a heavy sigh that was not commensurate with her age, turned slowly, and saw Chen Wenqiang coming over with a smile.

"Very cute little girl." Chen Wenqiang said with a smile: "Tomorrow you bring your doll, oh, you can also bring fruits, such as an orange. You can say that the orange is too big and you can't finish it alone, so please ask her to help you eat it."

"I" Lili doesn't know when Chen Wenqiang came back last night, and she doesn't know why she still wants to say something to Chen Wenqiang after so long, "I have never had a friend before, and I really hope she can become my friend."

"You will have friends, many, many." Chen Wenqiang touched Lili's hair and said gently: "A long time ago, when I was studying abroad, I was like you, longing for friends who could speak and play, but there was no one. Those foreigners were unwilling to approach me because I had yellow skin and dark eyes, and even discriminated against me. But I was not discouraged or disappointed. I studied hard and put knowledge into my head, because that might be the only way to change their attitude. Now, you have also seen that I have changed because of my efforts. Foreigners have to convince me of my ability, praise me for saving millions of lives, and have to look at me with admiration."

Lili blinked her blue eyes and shook her head gently, "I don't understand very much."

"Haha." Chen Wenqiang smiled slightly and explained patiently: "It is a way to take the initiative to find friends. It is also a way to make yourself excellent and attract others to be your friends. If the previous method doesn't work, then try the next one. Didn't Aunt Feng tell you the story of Sun Wukong? You can tell her that children all like that monkey, right?"

"Maybe she has heard of it!" Lili's eyes flashed, but she refused to admit that it was a good idea.

"It doesn't matter. No matter how many books the Monkey King has, the children will not complain." Chen Wenqiang smiled and patted her little head, "Go back to have a meal, I will bring you the little man's book tonight."

"I want a lot of villain books." Lili pulled Chen Wenqiang's sleeves as if reminding.

Chen Wenqiang nodded with a smile, made an OK gesture, and walked out of the courtyard.

Friends, Lili needs friends of the same age, which is a beneficial factor for a child's healthy growth. Chen Wenqiang is actually not good at pleasing a child as big as a little girl, and he does not expect Lili to really understand his profound words.

But the small suggestions may be useful, after all, this is not something Chen Wenqiang can decide. And his friend, he is going to see him now, to be precise, he should be a comrade.
