Eddie rubbed Violet's head, even though Violet has experienced so much, war, ghostwriting, and knowing love, knowing love...but Violet is still 16 years old after all child.

"I promise you, after you finish eating those jams, I won't leave again, okay?"

"You said that last time too!!!!!!"

Violet seemed to have endured it for too long, and her emotions finally broke out. She raised her fist and hammered Adele's chest with such light force that she didn't dare to exert any strength.

"But.....you still abandoned me!!!! You didn't even discuss it with me!!!!!!"

"You know!!! Standing in front of your grave!!! How much my heart hurts!!!!!!"

Violet completely ignored the gazes of passers-by, crying in the arms of Chief Adele.

"I was... I was..."

"At that time, I wished I could end my life with a knife and be buried with you!!!!!!"

Violet grabbed Adele's shoulder and said to her.

"If... If you really want to leave Violet, like last time, please tell me..."

"I will die with you without hesitation."

Violet kept shaking her head and said.

"You are not a nameless clown who died in the rainy night, and the person you love doesn't need your life to fulfill it!"

"If you leave again, I will die with you, I swear I will."

"You are in my heart, above my life."

Adele listened to Violet's words, it was rare for her to reveal her inner voice to herself... Maybe she really couldn't hide her inner grievances, or finally knew what she wanted to express , Violet seemed to speak out all the words that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time, and uttered them quickly.

"Sorry...sir...for troubling you in front of so many people."

"No, I'm very happy."

Adele patted Violet's head.

"Thank you for letting me see this side of you. In my impression, you have a calm and peaceful attitude towards everyone. There is no change in expression, or very little change, and the tone is also .”

"I'm very happy that you can show me your vulnerable side, or rather, your willful side, Violet. As for other people's opinions, eyes? Let them go to hell."

Holding Violet's face in both hands, Adele stared at her with firm eyes.

"If you love me, this time, if I don't come back to you, it will only prove one thing, and that is that I am really dead..."

"Then it's time."

"You die with me, Violet."

Looking at Chief Adele's firm gaze, and looking at the dull fake eye on the left, Violet's eyes gradually became moist, and she nodded slightly and said.

"Hey, I already have this awareness."

Adele held Violet's face, the lips of the two were very close, feeling the hot breath exhaled by the other party, it slapped on the face like water mist, and wiped Violet's face with his thumb. With the traces of tears remaining, Aidier's breathing gradually accelerated...accelerated...

"Violet, can I kiss you?"

Violet nodded, staring at Adele all the time, those eyes as deep as the sea seemed to be able to suck people into the abyss.

"Shouldn't you close your eyes at a time like this, Violet."

Violet shook her head, the corners of her mouth gradually raised, her beautiful smile seemed to be enough to warm the cold winter snow and dispel the boundless rain clouds.The golden sunlight shone on Violet's face, leaving a golden edge on her hair. Looking at this warm smile, the whole person seemed to no longer feel the cold.

"I want to watch you, sir..."

Violet raised her arms and put them around his neck.

"I want to see you kiss me."

"Keep it in your heart."

"This is the treasure of my life."

kindness in the light

"Look, Violet."

"I'll teach you how to make pork pie."

Tonight is Christmas Eve, and Etil will personally prepare a delicious dinner in the afternoon, so the deliveries to the orphanage must be done before noon.

At ordinary times, Etil has no worries, and he can deliver it whenever he wants, and in fairy tales, Santa Claus climbs into the house from the chimney at night, and puts the gifts on the bedside of the sleeping child, or hangs them up. Christmas red sock.So it seems appropriate to go quietly at night.

But now, since there are people you care about, the best time will naturally be reserved for the people you care about the most, so at this time, there is no need to have any sense of time.

"After the pie is ready, I'll leave it to you to do the delivery, Violet."

Etil diced pork belly, mixed with chives, and the leftover oil residue from cooking lard, plus some parsley, black pepper, salt, and simple seasonings, which can bring out the pork even more delicious.

Violet saw that Adele didn't follow the fat-to-thin ratio mentioned in the book to make minced meat, but chose a lot of fatty pork belly and oil residue, and finally did not use vegetable oil when frying, but It is made of lard that is as white as snowflakes.

The white skin makes a seductive sizzling sound under the embrace of lard, leaving a golden, burnt and crispy shell on the pie. The gravy inside the meat pie quickly soaks through the pie skin, exuding a satisfying smell. oily aroma.

"Mr. Etil, why didn't you follow the book?"

"Using so much fat and lard, won't you feel greasy?"

After hearing Violet's question, Adele explained to her:

"What is said in the book is indeed correct, but you have to make your own judgment based on the situation."

"I didn't deny what was said in the book, but what I'm doing now is better at certain times."

After finishing speaking, Adele cut a piece for Violet, but didn't give her much. Violet picked up the steaming pie on the plate, and couldn't wait to taste it. There was a strong smell of meat, With the taste of shallots bursting in the mouth, and with the aftertaste of the oily gravy in the mouth, Violet seemed to recall something, this pie, and her previous memories... Somewhat similar.

"Do you remember anything?"

Violet suddenly remembered that it was the first time Chief Etil made her something to eat in the military camp...

It was a can of extremely fat canned hooves. After heating a large piece of fat, Etil made a sandwich for himself. The sandwich that time was simply the best thing he had ever eaten in his life.

"Those children are just like you at that time."

"In the past year, I have been short of food and clothing, and I don't know enough food and clothing."

"Using this kind of pie can bring them the greatest satisfaction. Maybe you will feel a little greasy, but they won't."

"Just like you were then."

Violet recalled the way she was wolfing down at that time. At that time, she didn't have the mood she had just now. That fatty sandwich was like a gift from God.

"Yes, Chief Etil, you are very thoughtful... It's because I'm shallow-sighted."

"Too serious, Violet."

Adele put the finished pies in a bamboo basket and handed them to Violet, and handed her many fruits.

"Well, when we did this kind of thing in the past, we never showed up. So this time, you send these over, okay?"

Violet, who took the basket, was a little confused, so she asked.

"Why don't you go and see, sir? Don't you want to see how satisfied the children are when they eat their pie?"

"Forget it, Violet, I used to be like this too, I don't want to make these sacrifices seem too deliberate."

Violet held Adele's hand, and there was still oil leftovers from cooking on it, she kept shaking her head and said.

"No... Chief Etil, how can this be considered deliberate?"

"You came up with ideas, you cooked meals...but in the end you didn't show up, let me accept your good fruit."

"Violet can't do it."

Gently stroking Adele's long white hair, Violet put the basket behind her, and slowly walked in front of her.

"Sir, I want to convince you."

"Please come with me."

"Why hide your kindness, why can't you show them in the light?"

Violet said solemnly to Adele.

"If you don't want to go, sir, then please pass on the delivery task to someone else. Violet, I want to stay with you."

Seeing Violet's determined look, Adele finally sighed and said to Violet.

"All right......"

The two came to the door of the Lisbell Orphanage, which was not far from the post office, but Etil stopped a carriage because she wanted to deliver the pie there while it was still hot.

Today is Christmas Eve. Children from two orphanages in Leiden gathered in Lisbell. They held potato soup and sang the classic "Merry Christmas". As the first winter of war victory, their food There is no change. After all, everyone is living in a difficult life, and on the first Christmas Eve of victory, everyone is busy with their own parties. Few people remember these children, including the volunteers who usually come to be teachers, They are all at home now, only the two directors of the orphanage are accompanying the children for the holiday.

Adele was standing outside the door holding the pie, Violet shook Adile's hand vigorously, as if to encourage her, the heat exhaled by the two condensed into a white mist, Violet seemed to be As if wanting to help Adele make up her mind, she directly grabbed her hand and walked into Lisbell's courtyard!

With the arrival of the two, the children turned their heads one after another. Violet was holding colorful candies in her hand. The children didn't know what these colorful things were, they had never eaten candies, and Adele was carrying The smell of meat emanating from the basket made everyone swallow.

After explaining the purpose of their visit, the two old deans excitedly shook Adele's hand, bowing, thanking, bowing, thanking, as if the two words of thanking could never be finished, while Violet was sitting on the stone On the steps, watching the children share the pie, some people ate it happily, while others ate it cautiously, wanting this enjoyment to last longer.

"Is this how I looked in front of Chief Etil at that time?"

There was a smile on the corner of Violet's mouth, and suddenly a girl with light gray hair came in front of Violet, holding the piece of pie she got in her hand, staring at her with piercing eyes.

"Thank you."

The girl bowed deeply to Violet, then ate the pie and quickly blended into the crowd. Violet didn't pay too much attention to it. Today, she celebrated the Angel's festival with Chief Adele. It's really meaningful.

Jasmine

"It's the first time I've tried doing these things during the day..."

Adele sat on the steps, and Violet sat beside her, quietly listening to her tell the story of her past.

"My first Christmas Eve gift-giving was carried out under the guidance of my sister. We were poor and had nothing of value on us. My sister used her feathers to turn them into fruits and candies."

"We are flying together in the air. The time in one night is too limited. We can only send out a few hundred gifts. I don't know why it must be done at night. Maybe this is a tradition? It's like you and I acquiesced, in On your birthday, you light candles and eat cake, you don’t care why you light candles and make wishes around the cake.”

Adele caressed Violet's long hair, and sighed involuntarily.

"You are really beautiful, Violet, and you are getting more and more beautiful."

"Like a princess..."

Violet held the other's hand, and put that warm hand on her face, her deep sea blue eyes looked at the angel in front of her with gentle water.

"I am not as beautiful as you, sir."

"I don't want to be a princess either, I want to be your knight forever."

"Guarding by your side, sheltering you from wind and rain, this is the oath I made to you at that time."

Violet moved forward, and the two sat closer. The girl looked around, picked up three or four pieces of chocolate and quietly put them in Adele's pocket.

"This chocolate is very delicious. There are only four or five candies in this box. I ate one and gave the rest to the officer."

"I picked it out on purpose."

Adele looked at the chocolate in his hand, and happily pinched Violet's nose lightly.

"Is this your Christmas present?"

"My little angel?"

Adele unwrapped the wrapping paper of the chocolate and was about to eat it when suddenly a sound of children's pacing came quietly, and Violet's sensitive hearing instantly caught the direction of the source of the sound.

"come out."

The voice was cold and frightening. Maybe Eddie didn't know why Violet was so cruel to the child, but Violet herself knew it well.

On that battlefield, the bullets shot from the hands of children are as deadly as adults, even compared to adults, children will go to death more calmly, with bombs strapped to their bodies, rushing into the barracks recklessly, causing very high casualties big.

Even if the war is won, Violet will subconsciously tense up when she sees children sneaking around.

The gray-haired girl stood timidly in front of the two of them, and Violet subconsciously kept Adele behind her.

"Turn around."

The gray-haired child turned around in front of Violet, and after confirming that there was no danger, Violet relaxed.

"I'm sorry sir, I'm sorry for being rude, you are too important to me, I don't want to take any risks."

The gray-haired girl raised her head. On her immature face, her eyes had a maturity different from her age. Although she looked small and only a few years old, she could tell that she must be a beauty in the future.
