After accompanying Jonas to pile the castle with mud for a while, he looked at Yue Yiran tentatively several times, and finally mustered up the courage to ask, "Do you live around here?" How come I've never seen you before? ”

"I just came here to see my dad two days ago." Yue Yiran carefully stacked the top of the castle triangle, looked up and said with a smile.

"And where is your home?" He was a little curious.

"In China, in Jiangnan to be exact." Yue Yiran suddenly missed the carefree days in his hometown. Half a life is drifting, and she hasn't been back to the hometown of Lotus Leaf He Tiantian for a long time. She sighed, got up and wiped her hands on the hem of her skirt, "I'll take you to play later, it's very different from here." ”

Jonas blushed again and nodded very lightly. He never left the typical industrial city of Stuttgart and had a natural yearning for the outside world.

"Yes, you're here!" Yue Ze'an trotted over and picked her up with a smile, "Let's go, Dad will take you to dinner." ”

Yue Yiran's body suddenly vacated, she reflexively hugged Yue Ze'an's neck, her head was dizzy, but her heart was warm, as if the whole person had become squeamish: "Dad, let me go quickly." ”

Jonas also raised his head, his deep green eyes seemed to be a pool of water without specimens, and his black pupils seemed to suck people in. Yue Ze'an also noticed him, he held Yue Yiran with one hand, and touched Jonas's head with the other: "It turns out that I have made a new friend!" The eyes are so beautiful, and they come with eyeliner! ”

He didn't seem to notice Jonas's sloppy clothes, nor did he wonder about the origin of his daughter's new friend, but said to him familiarly and kindly, "Will the lad come with us?" ”

Jonas shook his head, lowered his head and stared at the instep of his foot, as if a flower had suddenly bloomed there.

Yue Yiran struggled for a while, and Yue Ze'an put her down, holding her weakly with his right hand.

"Jonas, come with us!" Yue Yiran held Jonas's hand. The mud on their hands had dried up, and they were a little itchy when they held each other. Jonas winced for a moment, revealing a shallow smile, which quickly dimmed again.

Yue Ze'an looked at their small hands clasped together, and her daughter showed a small white and tender arm, like a freshly dug lotus root, chubby. The boy's hands were as thin as a little chicken claws, and the bones were distinct, which made him unbearable. Jonas, who was no stranger to the entire university, was a prostitute/woman who would sometimes solicit customers on the side of the road in the evening. Prostitutes are legal in Germany, they can also contribute to insurance and then receive a pension at a certain age. But Hannah is a black household and has not been "registered". The school's volunteers had been trying to persuade her to go to the hospital regularly for check-ups and integrate into the health insurance system, but she turned a deaf ear and only thought about going by day by day. She usually "works" at night, drinks heavily at home during the day, doesn't even prepare three meals for Jonas, gives some pocket money when she has enough money, and most of the time she doesn't have this son. After the enthusiastic neighbor called the police, the child protection group also tried to take Jonas away, but the child expressed strong resistance, he kept insisting that his mother was not abusing and neglecting him, and he wanted to stay with Hannah. Although everyone knows the facts, no one can do anything if the parties do not cooperate.

Thinking of this, Yue Ze'an sighed in his heart, but his face was indistinguishable, holding a child in one hand, and said happily: "Let's go, let's eat!" ”

Jonas was pushed and walked a few steps, his big hands behind his back were extremely warm, and his stiff body slowly relaxed. He hadn't eaten all day today, and his stomach was already sour with hunger.

Stewed elbows, potatoes and sausages are one of Stuttgart's traditional staple foods, and Yue Ze'an ordered them this as well, which is high in calories and relatively filling. As soon as he sat down, Jonas's stomach rattled a few times, not small, and it was very clear in the quiet restaurant. His face flushed suddenly, and he curled his neck in a baggy garment.

Yue Ze'an didn't speak, and he couldn't think of how to resolve this embarrassment for a while, so he could only lower his head and mix salad with them, as if he didn't hear it.

At this time, Yue Yiran suddenly stood up and took Jonas's hand: "Let's go wash it!" The face is dirty! ”

Jonas straightened up and looked at Yue Ze'an, and was relieved to see him smile and nod.

The dining room is not big, and the bathroom is at the innermost end of the room, just a few steps away. The two stood side by side in front of the pool. Yue Yiran used a lower children's pool. Jonas is a little taller and can reach adulthood. After washing his hands and face, Yue Yiran felt that his whole person was a lot lighter. When I looked down and saw the mud handprints under the skirt, I was a little annoyed. Hey, after staying with the child for a long time, she has become a child herself, and the mud is all wiped on her clothes. This white tutu skirt is her favorite, and she doesn't know if it can be washed clean. Strange to say, in her previous life, when she was a real little girl, she always preferred to wear shirts and pants, trying to dress up a little more mature. When she is mature enough to no longer be suitable for wearing a puffy skirt, she is always moved every time she sees this style of clothes. Now that she's doing it all over again, of course she's going to have to wear enough of it.

Yue Yiran thought as she stood on tiptoe and tried to wash her skirt, but she was not paying attention, and she lost her balance as soon as her feet slipped, but fortunately, a cold hand with water vapor firmly grabbed her arm. As soon as Yue Yiran stood up with this force, Jonas withdrew his hand, his thin arm hidden in the empty sleeve, and his eyes looked in the other direction. Although it was only for a moment, Yue Yiran still saw his skinny appearance, and his heart was astringent. She thought of him in her previous life, remembered his lonely and thin back, what was he thinking when he committed suicide? Do you feel like you're finally freed? Is it because this cold world has not given him warmth that he has resolutely returned to God's side?

You can't do this in this life! He has not seen the most beautiful scenery in the world, tasted the best food, and received unforgettable love, how can he leave so lonely? She will hold his hand and accompany him to grow up.

After the meal, the three of them stood in front of the restaurant. After Jonas thanked Yue Ze'an, his eyes kept glancing at Yue Yiran, and he stopped talking.

Yue Yiran smiled and waved at him: "I'll come here tomorrow to play!" ”

Jonas smiled, showed his two white front teeth, waved his hand and turned around, and ran away in an instant.

It wasn't until Jonas's back disappeared on the corner that Yue Ze'an took Yue Yiran's hand and walked home.

When passing by a general store, Yue Yiran stopped, looked up and said to Yue Ze'an, "Dad, I want to buy me a gift for Jonas." ”

Yue Ze'an squatted down and looked into her eyes: "Didn't you bring a lot of handicrafts from home?" Before coming, her mother Shen Lu asked her assistant to buy her a suitcase of dolls, silk scarves or something, and asked her to give them to her classmates.

"I don't think he likes those." Yue Yiran shook his head. Although with Jonas's character, he will probably be flattered by whatever is given to him. But that's because he lacks love, not because he really likes it. The panda doll she gave him casually in his previous life, he treasured it for twenty years. After his death, the lawyer sent the doll back to her according to his will, and when she saw that the color had fallen and she was still a cute panda, she burst into tears. Now that she had a chance to make amends, she had to give him a gift that suited his heart.

Yue Ze'an was really surprised now, in fact, he was very surprised when his daughter cleared Jonas just now, he really couldn't imagine that an eight-year-old girl could think so much about her friends. However, of course, he would not guess that his daughter had changed the core, but he felt that his daughter was gifted, had a high emotional intelligence, and was quite proud and complacent. He leaned over and asked gently, "Then what do you want to give him?" ”

"This." Yue Yiran pointed to the window and said, she hadn't forgotten the longing look in Jonas's eyes when she just saw those children playing football.

Yue Ze'an followed her finger and saw a football on display, red and black, and a popular brand, priced at 22 euros. Although it is used as a meeting gift between children, it is slightly more expensive. However, he was very satisfied with his daughter's watch today, and Jonas's child was really distressing, so he swiped his card to buy it.

Yue Yiran took the ball from the salesman's hand, his eyes smiling like crescent moons, revealing two shallow dimples on his cheeks.

Yue Ze'an couldn't help poking her dimples with his index finger and teasing her: "It's not for you, and you're so happy?" ”

"Hmm!" Yue Yiran nodded vigorously. She felt that everything was changing, and a new future beckoned her. Both Jonas and her father will have a better life.

At night.

Jonas lay on the cramped single bed, burying his head under the covers, muffling a low laugh. It wasn't until he was out of breath that he bared his head and breathed heavily. The occasional whisper from next door made the room even quieter.

Jonas straightened his right hand and looked at his fingertips, which seemed to have Lena's finger warmth still on them. All the children here don't want to come into contact with him. Their parents told them that Jonas's mother was a □□ and didn't know what was wrong with her, that his father was a madman who had killed people, and that he would be a little madman in the future, so don't play with him. However, Lena had just come here, she didn't know anything, she would hold his hand tightly, she would eat with him, and then give him the grilled sausages on the plate. If he could, he hoped she would never know about it.

"Lena." He called her name in a voice that only he could hear, and then laughed foolishly.

Lena, it must be the sunshine that God has given him. Sister Sophia had told him that God's mercy would be given to everyone, and now it was finally his turn.
