The boy must have been wandering outside for a long time, his hands and feet were covered with pus-filled chilblains, black and blue, and Yin Jingnan had to drive to a nearby pharmacy to buy some ointment.

The coldness of winter in the capital can seep into the bone marrow. It is often seen on the news that a drunk under a certain overpass is frozen to death. It is a miracle that a child of his age can survive well.

At the beginning, he was unwilling to go with him no matter what. He was very vigilant like a stray kitten outside. Yin Jingnan repeatedly assured that he was not a bad person and would help him find his family, so the boy was willing to get into the car with him.

Yin Jingnan likes to be quiet and is used to living alone. He lives alone in the villa of more than 300 square meters. Every two days, an hourly worker will come to clean the house on time.

I am usually busy with work, so I hardly have time to cook. There are only a few eggs and a pack of longxu noodles in the refrigerator at home.

Yin Jingnan made a bowl of steaming egg noodles with these simple ingredients. The boy was obviously very hungry. The bowl, lips are hot red.

Seeing how delicious his food was, Yin Jingnan suddenly had some appetite, "Is it delicious?"

Holding the bowl bigger than his face in both hands, the boy nodded his head, with a little more trust in his eyes.

The person who gave him something to eat must not be a bad person.

Yin Jingnan couldn't help laughing, "What's your name?"

The boy showed a blank look and shook his head.

When he came back just now, Yin Jingnan took him to the bathroom to wash his face clean. Without the cover of dirt, the boy's original appearance was completely revealed.

His skin is very fair, his facial contours are delicate, his nose looks a little deep because of his straight bridge, his peach blossom eyes are as clear as water, and the slightly drooping corners of his eyes look more cute and innocent.

It looks a little different from traditional Chinese people, and it is very likely that within four generations, there are immediate family members of foreign descent.

"Before I know your name, I'll call you Xiaoyan." Yin Jingnan said.

He can't speak. I don't know if it is born or acquired. If it is acquired, I hope he can speak in the future.

It is a blessing.

The boy doesn’t remember how long he’s been homeless, he only knows that it’s cold outside, he’s hungry and uncomfortable, he has no home, no relatives, and he never knows his name. I know, no one is willing to recruit such a person, not to mention he is still a mute who can't speak.

This is the first time he has his own name.

The boy's eyes lit up slightly, and he nodded vigorously.

Yin Jingnan could see that he was very happy, and said with a light smile, "Are you full?"

The boy nodded, the other's handsome face was reflected in his dark eyes, and sporadic smiles gradually spread out,

When Yin Jingnan got up and told him to go upstairs, Xiaoyan hurriedly picked up the big bowl and drank all the soup in it, not a single drop was left.

Next, I have to arrange for Xiaoyan to take a bath.

Yin Jingnan took the boy to his room, looked him up and down, took out a white shirt and a pair of black sweatpants from the cloakroom and handed them to him, "My clothes are too big, none of them match your size, Only these two pieces were worn by me in the past two years, and I haven't had time to pack them up, and they happen to be relatively small in size, so you can make do with them first."

Xiaoyan hesitated, and took the clothes.

After Yin Jingnan led him into the bathroom, he sat on the lounge chair by the window and took out his mobile phone to read the latest news. He didn't hear the sound of water coming from inside for about 10 minutes, so he couldn't help feeling very strange.

He got up and knocked on the door, "Xiaoyan."

"..." No one responded.

Yin Jingnan tapped again, "Xiaoyan."

"..." No one responded.

When he knocked on the door for the third time and there was still no answer, Yin Jingnan frowned deeply, unavoidably a little anxious, thinking that something had happened, so he turned the lock and broke in.

Four eyes facing each other.

Yin Jingnan was stunned.

The boy's clothes had been stripped off, his thin body was exposed to the air unreservedly, and his bare feet stepped on the ground.

He didn't seem to know what shyness was, and he didn't know how to hide when he saw Yin Jingnan coming in, he just looked at him timidly.

Yin Jingnan was born gay and in good health. It was inevitable that such a boy would have a normal reaction when he stood in front of him unguardedly and looked at him with such innocent eyes.

His throat tightened, and he stiffly moved his gaze away from the other's straight legs, his voice became a little hoarse, "... What's wrong? Why didn't you wash it?"

The boy showed some embarrassment on his face, and wanted to speak, but he only made a monotonous 'ahhh' sound, as if he was afraid that Yin Jingnan would be impatient, so he stopped talking after a few ahhs.

Yin Jingnan suddenly understood what he meant, "You don't know how to use the bathing equipment in the bathroom?"

The boy was taken aback for a moment, then nodded lightly, "Ah..."

"I'll teach you." Yin Jingnan walked to the side of the shower and held the switch to demonstrate to him, "The temperature should be just right when you turn it to the middle and turn it on. If you don't think it's right, you can adjust it. Turn to the left for hot water, and turn to the right for cold water."

"Do you understand?"

The boy nodded hesitantly, half understanding.

"Do you know the words?"

The boy shook his head.

Yin Jingnan frowned and sighed softly, "Forget it, I'll wash it for you this time."

Judging by his appearance, he must have been born in poverty. He has never even seen the equipment in the bathroom. If he is illiterate, he might use shampoo as toothpaste.

He turned on the water flow switch in the bathtub, and let Xiaoyan sit in it after it was filled with warm water.

The boy is like a tamed kitten, very well-behaved and obedient, Yin Jingnan asked him to raise his hand, and he raised his hand, showing full trust and dependence in his behavior.

During the process, Yin Jingnan tried his best to keep himself calm and regarded Xiaoyan as his younger brother, and those thoughts that shouldn't have disappeared naturally.

After washing, dry him with a soft towel and put him in the clothes you prepared earlier.

Although it was Yin Jingnan's clothes from the previous years, they still looked loose on the boy's body. The shirt covered his thighs, and the sweatpants were dragged to the ground, making the already thin man even smaller.

Yin Jingnan bent down to help him roll up his trousers.

The room was very warm, and it was not cold to walk barefoot. Xiaoyan sat on the edge of the bed and quietly stretched out his hand, while Yin Jingnan was still applying chilblain ointment for him.

Yin Jingnan has always been a careful person, he was very light when he struck, and his expression was focused. He didn't realize that the boy was staring at him until he raised his head.

The eyes are very bright.

Some people's likes are very straightforward, written in their eyes brightly.

Yin Jingnan smiled back at him, reached out and rubbed his head, "Okay, it's time to go to rest."

Xiaoyan was assigned to the guest room next door. Seeing that Yin Jingnan was about to leave, she was in a hurry, and hurriedly chased him out, grabbed his hand, and whispered 'ah' a few times, as if unwilling to give up.

Yin Jingnan looked back at him, and said softly, "I'm right next door, you can knock on the door and call me if you need anything."

Xiaoyan didn't let go.

Yin Jingnan withdrew his hand, his tone unchanged, "Be obedient, it's late, go to sleep, I'll take you to find your family tomorrow."

Xiaoyan nodded and stopped pestering him, staring blankly at his back, watching him leave.

The door of the master bedroom was closed, and the light in the corridor dimmed.

Yin Jingnan's daily routine has always been regular, no matter how late he went to bed the day before, he will always get up on time at seven o'clock the next morning.

After simply washing up, he was about to go for a morning run, and the moment he opened the bedroom door, he was stunned.

There is a man sitting on the ground opposite.

The boy was a bit sleepy at first, but when he saw Yin Jingnan coming out, his eyes lit up immediately, he hurriedly got up from the ground to meet him, and said 'ahhh' to Yin Jingnan, as if he had been waiting for him for a long time.

His eyes were bloodshot, obviously he hadn't rested well.

Yin Jingnan paused, "You sat outside last night?"

He frowned slightly, looking not particularly happy.

"Ah..." Xiaoyan was at a loss in his eyes and shook his head.

Yin Jingnan could tell at a glance that he was lying, and said helplessly, "What are you doing sitting here if you don't sleep, I can't run away."

"Ah..." Xiaoyan opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but found that he couldn't even speak, and lowered his head like a child who made a mistake.

Yin Jingnan explained, "I'm not angry, I'm just worried about your body."

Xiaoyan looked up in surprise, the frustration on his face was swept away, "Ah..."

"I'm going to run in the morning now. When I come back, I'll take you to have breakfast. Now you can go back and sleep for a while." Yin Jingnan said.

Xiaoyan nodded obediently, and said 'ah' twice in response.

When Yin Jingnan came back from exercising, he could see the boy standing at the door of the house from a distance, just like a kitten welcoming its owner home, it would eagerly stick to it and rub it against his lap, but Xiaoyan was not so courageous yet, He just dared to show his joy on his face.

The temperature outside was low, he was only wearing the thin shirt he wore for sleeping, his face was frozen white, and he was still smiling happily.

Yin Jingnan wrinkled and pulled him back to take a hot shower. After getting dressed, he took Xiaoyan to a morning tea shop near the villa area for breakfast, and then drove to the police station.

Xiaoyan seems to have been to this place before, clearly illiterate, seeing the bright "police station" with three big characters on his face full of fear, looking at Yin Jingnan beggingly, he choked up a little "ahah" sound, as if begging him Don't send him in.

It seems that there is some monster that can eat people inside.

Yin Jingnan coaxed him patiently for a long time, promising to protect him no matter what happened, Xiaoyan finally agreed to get out of the car.

When he entered the police station, he tightly grasped the corners of his clothes with both hands, refusing to let go no matter what.

To help him find his family, he had to report to the police and make a record. Xiaoyan couldn't speak, so Yin Jingnan must help him.

Unexpectedly, the old police officer in charge of reception really knew Xiaoyan, and after hearing Yin Jingnan's explanation of his visit, he told the whole story.

"Two months ago, the boy was sent to report by the owner of a steamed stuffed bun shop in the north of the city, saying that he didn't pay for the steamed stuffed buns and ran away after taking them."

"I want to contact his family, but he can't speak, and he doesn't have ID card or other documents that can prove his identity. Our police station collected his DNA comparison database, but so far there is no result."

"At that time, he was locked up for two hours and then released."

It's as if Xiaoyan appeared in this world out of thin air.

Even the police can't find out his life experience, so it seems that we can only take a long-term view.
