Ivan didn't pour the teacup very full, first, he was not walking very neatly at the moment, and he was afraid that he would accidentally bump it out.

The second is that it always feels like he is sending someone else, Ivan doesn't want to be just kind and wants the boy to drink saliva, but it turns out to cause unnecessary misunderstandings. It was only that even if it was not too full, there was still a large half of the cup, and Ivan walked towards the boy.

The boy did not know exactly what had happened and why Ivan had left suddenly, but in the process he still did not raise his head.

"Childe, you still have it."

As soon as the boy wanted to speak, the words were already in his mouth, and Ivan returned from the room and walked straight towards the boy.

This time, it was no longer just Ivan's shoes that appeared in the boy's sight, but also a teacup with water.

The boy saw that there was some tea in the teacup, but it was not steaming, it must have been cooled for a long time.

"What is this?"

"This is the tea in my room, and it tastes quite light. I see that your lips are dry and about to crack, you must not have drunk much water in the morning, I only have some tea left over from last night, and the shopkeeper has not delivered it this morning. If you don't mind, I can only grieve you, drink some. I've drunk it before, it's okay, I don't know if you like it or not. ”

"No need, Childe, I'm not thirsty at all, thank you so much for your kindness."

The boy seemed to be fighting for something, even though he subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva at the first glance of the glass.

But out of respect for Ivan, and the fact that his thing had other deeper meanings, the boy did not dare to take it.

At the same time, the boy's first reaction was to refuse Ivan, and if he refused, how could he be qualified to drink the tea that Ivan handed him?

Isn't this too unusual, the boy has his own measure. It's just that when Ivan listened to the beggar's words, he couldn't help frowning.

The kid still looks a little stubborn, but it doesn't matter, there is a way to get him to drink, Ivan thought.

"How is that possible? You're taking me for a fool, good, don't make a fuss, drink this cup of tea, it's not worth a few dollars. If you don't drink water all the time, your body will not be able to stand it for a long time. I'm just kind, don't get me wrong. ”

As he spoke, Ivan pushed the glass of water in his hand in front of the boy, meaning that he wanted him to take the teacup.

The other hand was trying to grab the boy's hand and ask him to take the glass of water, and Ivan's left and right hands moved very consistently.

Obviously, this action was somewhat unexpected by the boy, and the hand he had originally placed on his side quickly turned his back behind him.

This action Ivan felt a little strange, what does this mean? The boy's attitude surprised Ivan.

Why was he so resistant to his cup of tea? There is no poison in it, and he won't harm him, Ivan can't figure it out.

Ivan didn't want to question the kid, he didn't look very old, and if he asked, he might misunderstand him.

It is likely to hurt his self-esteem, and Ivan has no choice but to hide all his doubts in his heart, and he has to change himself first. Seeing that the boy was not very old, Ivan might have scared him by the tone of his own speech, so he asked him in a different tone first.

"What's wrong with you? Why don't you take my brother's cup of tea? Do you think my brother's cup of tea is not delicious? No, I've had several drinks before, so there's no problem. If you don't like it, I can help you re-boil it. ”

When Ivan said this, he still couldn't help but have a joking tone, he wanted to ease the atmosphere a little, not too serious.

But for the boy, a joke was a joke in Ivan's mouth, a joke in Ivan's eyes, but it was different in his opinion.

Ivan seemed to question him, thinking that if he didn't drink tea, he wouldn't believe Ivan's kindness, the boy thought.

Not wanting to cause such an unnecessary misunderstanding, the boy quickly explained that he just didn't dare to pick up Ivan's cup of tea.

"No, Childe, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that. It's not that I don't believe you, I'm really not that thirsty, I'll go back later, and I'll just drink some more water. I really don't bother the child, I'm just a little beggar, and I don't deserve to accept your kindness. ”

The boy's last words hurt Ivan's ear, and he couldn't believe that they came out of the child's mouth.

This kind of boy who is humble to the dust, Ivan can't even think of any special way for him to accept his kindness.

There was a clear implication in the boy's words that he wanted to leave quickly, not that he didn't want to stay with Ivan for long.

It's just that Ivan is only a few years older than himself, but he can worry about food and clothing, play around, and don't have to worry about his parents' shortcomings.

And the boy is still worried about his three meals a day every day, sometimes he can't even eat, and his life is not guaranteed.

This disparity between people makes the boy ashamed of himself, even if he has not done anything wrong, even if the main cause is not him. But how can people who are young and have low self-esteem not think much about it, is it that they are inferior to others?

The boy will feel that he must be inferior to Ivan in some ways to become like this, maybe his own life is not good.

Ivan tried to calm his mind as quickly as possible, the boy's refusal was obvious, and the gap between thoughts was insurmountable.

The reason Ivan is not very clear, presumably it is his humble self-esteem, Ivan respects his ideas and does not interfere.

Naturally, he respects his decision, even if the boy is still a beggar, but the status quo alone does not mean anything.

At this time, begging for a living does not necessarily mean that the boy will only rely on begging for a living in the future, or that he will only rely on begging for a living for the rest of his life.

He was just in a difficult situation, and Ivan believed that the boy would definitely do something when he grew up.

It's just that these can only be regarded as expectations, and they don't say anything, it's just that it's difficult for the boy to change the status quo at present.

"Since you've already said that, then."

Forget the two words in Ivan's mouth has not yet come out, originally this is a very smooth sentence, and he can finish it in one pass.

But when Ivan opened his mouth to speak, the boy's stomach made an inopportune "grunt" sound, which was not small.

At the same time, there was a "squeak" sound of pushing the door, and Ivan didn't know why these two voices appeared here at the same time.

Ivan couldn't react to what was wrong for a moment, first stunned for a moment, then quickly turned around and looked out the window.

Ivan realized that he was actually thinking that he was still quite early, mainly because his previous sleep was too shallow.
