The sky was covered with heavy dark clouds, and the rolling clouds not only blocked the dim moonlight, making the surroundings look black, but also making the already quiet town seem so desolate.

Although there was no curfew, almost all residents stayed in their homes, except for the railway yard on the other side of the train station, which was lit up by countless street lamps because of the transshipment of goods, reflecting half of the sky.

Walking on the quiet street, Audrey pulled the corner of Zhou Nan's clothes, she was obviously a little afraid of the darkness around her, and almost stuck to Zhou Nan's body.

Zhou Nan's hand was tested several times, and every time he was tempted, Audrey's hand immediately retracted. But she seemed to feel that this was a little cold to Zhou Nan's heart, and she would gently touch Zhou Nan's hand to show comfort.

Zhou Nan also expressed helplessness about this, when she was not engaged before, her little hand was not held as much as she wanted, but now that she is engaged, she is shy.

However, it doesn't seem to be Audrey's fault, everything is done by Vera, the bad guy, she doesn't seem to see Zhou Nan squeezing because of the engagement, instilling a lot of terrifying physiological knowledge in Audrey, and using that terrifying consequence to scare Audrey and make her dare not make love to herself.

However, Audrey finally relented, was tested by Zhou Nan a few times, heard his sigh, and still couldn't bear to stuff her little hand into Zhou Nan's big hand.

Zhou Nan's ancestral home in the Central Plains, born in Ludi, has a very heavy northerner gene, his height of 1.83 meters is not short even among Germans.

However, compared to the Germans with big shoulders and round waists, his slender figure looked a little thin. Of course, this is not to say that his body is thin, in fact, his muscles are strong, and although he looks thin, he is the type who looks thin and unclothed, and his weight of more than eighty kilograms makes him no less confrontational than any German.

In addition, the biggest difference between him and the short-handed Germans is that he has extra-long limbs, and hands and feet that are much larger than the average person.

His fingers were slender but surprisingly long, and Yannick said enviously that he had a natural pair of piano players. His fingers are spread wide and he is able to cover two more keys than the average person, which gives him a natural advantage over ordinary people when it comes to piano.

In the record, Audrey also has hands and feet that are larger than the average person, but now she is only fourteen years old and has not yet fully developed, and at this time, her hands are only half the size of Zhou Nan. Held in Zhou Nan's palm, it can be tightly wrapped.

In fact, she used to enjoy this feeling of being protected, but after listening to Vera's "warning", she was afraid that she would trigger Zhou Nan's "bestiality", so she didn't dare to be too intimate with him.

Holding Audrey's hand, Zhou Nan was also a little satisfied. The two of them walked side by side on the empty street, but Audrey couldn't help but slowly lean closer to Zhou Nan.

Holding Audrey's delicate little hand, feeling the attachment of her delicate body to herself, and the wings of her nose can still smell the fragrance of her body, Zhou Nan feels that he is simply very happy, and he can't wait for the road in front of him to be endless.

Audrey obviously felt this way, and she had come to the corner of Hemsstra's main house, her steps became slower and more fragmented, and she was holding Zhou Nan's hand, and she was reluctant to let go for a moment.

The two of them simply sat on the wooden chairs on the side of the street, whispering their plans for the future. Whether it is Zhou Nan or Audrey, they are full of longing for the future.

Being able to live quietly away from the war is the life that countless ordinary people on the continent look forward to.

"Am I too stupid, Jonas? You and your mom have to worry about everything, but I can't do anything on my own. Even Vera, who is more independent than me, is already a qualified nurse. ”

"But she's four years older than you! All you have to do now is continue your education, and by the time you're eighteen you'll be stronger than Vera, and in my heart, you're the best. ”

Receiving Zhou Nan's praise made her look very happy, and she couldn't help but lean on Zhou Nan's shoulder and said softly: "But I'm afraid that I'm not so good and can't meet the standards you want......"

Zhou Nan couldn't help laughing, gently rubbing her delicate little hands. "I don't have any standards in my heart, making you happy and happy is my only goal, and I don't have any requirements for you."

"Jonas, why are you being so nice to me? Okay, I feel like I can't repay myself! I'm so scared......"

"Afraid of what?"

"I'm afraid that if you don't treat me so well in the future, I won't have the courage to live."

She snuggled up to Zhou Nan's arm like a helpless kitten, which greatly increased the pity in Zhou Nan's heart. He couldn't help but open his arms around her thin shoulders and let her lean into his arms. "No, I'll always spoil you like this, because I love you!"

The two have been together for three years, and at the beginning they have always gotten along in the way of brother and sister, and there is no intimacy between the two people, but they are used to being under the same sky with each other.

It was only two months ago that the relationship between the two parties entered a rapid change, and the identities of both parties quickly changed into a lover relationship. But in the past two months, the two of them have gathered less and left more, and there are many fewer opportunities to be alone.

They are not yet accustomed to the current relationship, and they are all cautiously approaching each other to adapt to the new relationship.

It was the first time for Zhou Nan to say love to her personally, which made the innocent Audrey seem to have been hammered into the soft heart by a giant hammer, and the whole body was numb, and she didn't know where she was in a daze, and her brain completely lost her reaction.

When she came to her senses, she found that she had snuggled into his arms, which made her not only not a little panicked, but very enjoyable.

She lay in Zhou Nan's arms, hugged Zhou Nan's waist tightly, and whispered: "Jonas, Jonas, I want to die happily." ”

Zhou Nan couldn't help but smile and scratched her nose: "Silly girl, we will always be so happy in the future, until we are a hundred years old." Until then, none of us will die. ”

Audrey wrinkled her nose and lied affectionately. "At the age of 100, I don't want to be an old woman."

The light of two flashlights shone suddenly, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps. A detachment of German Gestapo patrols approached. "Whoever is over there, please raise your hand."

The smile on Audrey's face dissipated, and she looked at the Gestapo who ran over with a hint of horror, but her body was even tighter against Zhou Nan.

Zhou Nan didn't care about comforting her at this time, and raised his hand. At this time, he is not willing to make any misleading actions that cause the other party to shoot.

The patrol men ran over and soon saw that the person in front of them was the only Oriental man in Arnhem, Jonas Hoffman Zhou.

Their guns were lowered, and they greeted Zhou Nan kindly: "Hey, Jonas, I heard that you are leaving Arnhem?" ”

"Yes, my biggest regret is not being able to become a German citizen. In the future, I have to find a country that is willing to accept me. This is my fiancée, Ida Hemstra, please don't get too nervous. ”

Another soldier smiled and said, "We've all heard about it, but unfortunately we didn't have time to attend your engagement yesterday." ”

After three years in Arnhem, Zhou Nan has become a celebrity here. Because of Yannick's cooperative relationship with the German army, Zhou Nan has been living in the official residence of Archon Michel, and his contacts are all high-level German soldiers, so although he is an Oriental, he will not be discriminated against by ordinary soldiers.

Seeing the kind attitude of these Gestapo, Audrey's fear also became much lighter. However, she was still lying in Zhou Nan's arms, and she had no idea of greeting these German soldiers.

"Jonas, we're chasing a group of resistance groups with leaflets tonight, so you'd better go home as soon as possible and don't stop on the street to avoid misunderstandings."

"Thanks, I sent my fiancée home, and I'll be back soon."

The Gestapo turned off their flashlights, and with the sound of hurried footsteps, they quickly disappeared again in the darkness. Zhou Nan also has no thoughts about talking to Audrey here. In this unsafe world, safety is the first priority. Later, when I went to Switzerland, I had time to linger with Audrey.

The surroundings were quiet again, and Zhou Nan straightened Audrey's body. "Audrey, I'll send you home, tomorrow we're going to Germany, and now, your mother and grandmother need you even more."

She nodded, mumbled, and timidly asked, "Jonas, why is there a war?" Why can't the world be at peace? ”

"War will pass, and peace will come. Audrey, we have to be hopeful. ”

Inside the main house of Hemsstra, unlike usual, there are several oil lamps lit on the second floor. This time, not only Zhou Nan and Audrey are leaving, but her relatives, in addition to her mother and grandmother, will also go to Spain in the next few days.

But only women and children were able to leave, like Audrey's two older brothers, who worked in German-controlled factories and railroads. Her two uncles were imprisoned in concentration camps because of their aristocratic status.

Zhou Nan was well aware that her two older brothers were fine, but after Operation Market Garden next year, the Germans implemented a retaliatory Hunger Winter program that led to the deaths of tens of thousands of Dutch.

Her two uncles will also die next winter, but he has no ability to change in the slightest in the face of this situation. I don't want to tell her about this tragic ending right now and make her sad.

Standing on the doorstep steps of the main house, Audrey hugged Zhou Nan a little reluctantly before letting go of him. "Jonas, go back and rest, come and pick me up early tomorrow morning, I'll be waiting for you at home."

"Aren't you sad that you're leaving your grandmother and mother? I see you seem to be a little impatient, right? ”

"I will be sad, but I know better that the dignity of life can only be preserved in the air of freedom. Jonas, if you hadn't been there, it's hard for me to imagine how many interrogations I would have had to go home, or even not at all. ”

Zhou Nan understood what she meant, and was also a little speechless, not knowing how to comfort her. Although she is still young, she is smart and clever and understands this era enough, and she can't be fooled by some kind deception.

But on the ugly side of this society, he didn't want to talk too much about her, and preferred to keep her innocence a little longer.
