Chapter 32: My Brother's Hand

It's just that even if the boy is disgraced, it can't hide his still childish face, which is just as Ivan expected. In Ivan's eyes, even if this child's facial features are simply glanced, he can have a general impression in his heart.

This boy should have been a very well-behaved child before begging, and as for why he came out to beg now, Ivan didn't know.

Seeing the boy so eager to keep his distance from others at this time, in order to give himself an unspeakable sense of security, Ivan couldn't feel comfortable thinking about it.

Presumably, this child has also suffered a lot of beatings, and he has suffered a lot from city to city, and he looks very thin.

Compared with the previous distress, Ivan wanted to know this child at this time, and what kind of suffering he had suffered in his life.

What kind of sins have he suffered in his life journey, a young boy who should have been carefree and has a bright future.

What kind of natural and man-made disasters have he experienced, the impermanence of the world, and unimaginable changes that have made the boy what he is now.

Those who beg in the border city, those children who are the same age as the boys, what kind of suffering, struggles and hesitations they have been through. How much of the dark side of their lives there is something Ivan himself has never seen.

Or the kind that he couldn't think of, Ivan's compassion made it difficult for him to take his eyes off the boy's face for a short time.

After the boy finished saying his words, he was still waiting for Ivan's reproach and rhetorical question, but Ivan began to remain silent.

When he found Ivan staring at him, his little face, which was already a little blushing before, was even redder now.

It's just that under the cover of dust, it is difficult for Ivan to find any subtle changes on the boy's face in a short period of time.

These are all things that are difficult to detect with the naked eye at this time, but the boy doesn't care, and Ivan doesn't die, so it's all right.

The boy was neither comfortable nor accustomed to Ivan's direct gaze, and it was difficult for him to adjust to the constant staring of others.

The boy is more accustomed to sitting on the street begging, which is easy, and the others will only stay for a short time at most.

Even if you glance at him, there will be no excessive movements, and this kind of non-disturbing is the boy's favorite way to communicate.

And Ivan in front of him looked at himself, and it was impossible for the boy to run away, so that he would look like a person who ran away with money.

is even more of an ungrateful villain, the boy is not that kind of person, but after all, he still can't bear Ivan's long gaze at him.

This scene is like a first-time mother, looking at her newborn child, with such fiery longing and curiosity in her eyes.

"Gong, Gongzi, what's wrong with you, why do you keep staring at me. Yes, is there anything else you want to tell me? ”

The boy's sudden questioning woke Ivan from his dream, and it turned out that he had been staring at the boy unconsciously.

This is a very impolite behavior, Ivan shook his head, the behavior may be a little rude, but it can be explained.

The thought was still in Ivan's mind, and he wanted to help this hard-working child as much as possible, and not only that.

Thinking of this, Ivan turned back into the room and put the teacup he had been holding tightly in his left hand back on the table.

If you hold something with your left hand, it will make it difficult to do a lot of things or move a lot.

Ivan took all the extra copper coins that had been placed on the table in his hands at once, and none of them were left behind.

The only thing Ivan wants to do now is give all the money to this child, which may not be very much. But these copper coins can improve his life at least for a short time. Ivan didn't dare to think that in the future, it would be too far away, and no one could guarantee it.

Ivan saved all the copper coins in his hands, and quickly returned to where he had stood before, back in front of the boy.

Seeing that the boy's hand was still in a state of folded hands, Ivan didn't say a word of nonsense, and directly used his left hand to forcibly break the boy's hand. The boy didn't expect such a scene, and before he could react, he quickly exclaimed and tried to break free.

"Gong, Gongzi, what are you doing here, you have already given me money before, and that money is enough to buy what you need."

"I know it's enough, this money is not for you, I have other things to tell you, good boy, open your hands quickly."

Ivan's speech and attitude showed that he was in a very natural state, and there were not many emotional changes.

The boy listened to Ivan's words, since there were other things, it must have occurred to Ivan that he suddenly thought of what else needed to be bought.

The boy naturally obediently opened his hand again, and when Ivan saw this, he quickly stuffed all the copper coins he had just picked up in the palm of his right hand between the boy's hands. Then Ivan wrapped his two hands directly around the back of the boy's hand, which was the most direct.

Ivan pressed the boy's hands together, as if all the money belonged to the boy.

"Take the money, get it quickly, don't think nonsense."

Before Ivan could tell him what was going on, the boy suddenly understood what Ivan was going to say.

The boy immediately wanted to break free of Ivan's hands, but how could a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy have Ivan's strength?

And when Ivan held the boy's hands, he was shocked to realize that it was already late autumn, and the weather temperature was changing towards winter.

The temperature on the back of the boy's hand was as cold as the cold east wind that had not yet come, and Ivan was speechless for a while.

Holding the back of the boy's hand, he could feel the coldness coming from his palm, shivering with cold, this child, Ivan thought to himself.

But even if the back of the boy's hand was cold, Ivan had no intention of letting go, and it would be great if holding his hand could help him warm up. The boy felt the warmth coming from the back of his hand, and his gaze naturally shifted from Ivan's face to the palm of his hand.

The boy watched Ivan clasp his hands tightly, as if this action made him feel extremely relieved at this time.

This feeling was given to the boy by no one other than his own brother, and he missed this warm feeling very much.

Once upon a time, the boy had dreamed of such warmth, and he would return to his side, but after waking up, he would only be disappointed.

The boy's gaze alternated between Ivan's face and hands, and even then he was nervous and uncomfortable.

But it was this discomfort that made the boy invisibly begin to adapt to the warmth that this pair of warm hands brought to him at this time.

Even though this hand was not his own brother's, the boy was still immersed in fantasy for a while, and Ivan was his real brother.
