【February 1, XX, afternoon】 (a well-preserved page)

Today is the day when Sister Bubble Orange is on duty. I like Sister Bubble Orange the most.

But Sister Bubble Orange’s real name is not Bubble Orange. She has a very tongue-twisting name that I can never remember. Because she always brings us Bubble Oranges grown in her home, we all call her Sister Bubble Orange (Sister Bubble Orange also likes this name very much).

Today, we all received a gift. Sister Bubble Orange took us to meet the kind-hearted person who gave us the gift. He was an old man whose body was filled with the aroma of baked bread. Sister Bubble Orange said that the old man seemed to run a bakery called... Burgundy... [There are traces of repeated modifications here], which is very famous in Fontaine.

For some reason, as soon as the old man left, Sister Bubble Orange ordered us to quickly open the gifts, take out the diary and write an entry immediately.

It's so strange, why does Sister Bubble Orange talk to us like the dean... Obviously Sister Bubble Orange doesn't usually do this...

.........

【May 1, XX, morning】 (a well-preserved page)

I think I know the reason.

Yesterday, all the children who didn't behave well had their diaries taken away by the loving grandma. (The loving grandma hits people very hard, and she only lets us call her sister. If anyone dares to call her grandma to her face, she will beat us until we see stars in front of our eyes.)

Moreover, I actually saw Sister Bubble Orange today. I was so happy because we are supposed to see Sister Bubble Orange only once every one or two weeks.

But today, Sister Bubble Orange doesn’t seem very happy.

When I was cleaning the restroom, I heard Sister Bubble Orange arguing loudly with the dean in the dean's office. After a long time, Sister Bubble Orange came out of the office in tears.

Because I was afraid of the dean, I only dared to hide on the side and eavesdrop, but fortunately, it was Sister Bubble Orange who discovered me.

I don’t know what happened. I just remember that Sister Bubble Orange held me in her arms and cried silently without saying a word.

Her tears wet my clothes and flowed into my mouth.

Even Sister Bubble Orange’s tears are salty? I thought people like Sister Bubble Orange would have sweet tears.

#//Sister Bubble Orange, I'm so hungry, I miss you//# (a sentence written between paragraphs, the writing time is not the diary time)

My sister hugged me and cried for a long time. I never thought that my sister could cry so much.

Fortunately, Sister Bubble Orange helped me clean the [bathroom] after she finished crying, which allowed me to complete the task within the specified time and avoid being cleaned up by my loving mother-in-law.

After cleaning, I wanted to go back to the dormitory to rest. Because today is not a [meal day], there is no food provided in the cafeteria. In order not to be too hungry to sleep at night, I have to go to bed now.

But unexpectedly, Sister Bubble Orange grabbed me and took me to a corner quietly. Then, Sister Bubble Orange took out a lunch box and two whole big Bubble Oranges from her clothes.

Wow!!! They are actually two big Bubble Oranges! And Bubble Orange sister also said that the food in this lunch box is also for me.

Guess what I saw in the lunch box? Croissants! It was a whole box of soft and fragrant croissants!

I ate it before my mother left me! A croissant is worth three times the size of a baguette. Even when my mother was alive, this was a delicacy I rarely had.

Because my mother only earns very little money, and baguettes can fill me up, but croissants won’t fill me up.

But this big box of croissants was enough to fill me up. After asking for Sister Paopaoju’s permission again, I started eating them bite by bite. But I didn’t dare eat too fast. I wanted to eat slowly. I wanted to remember the taste and write it down in my diary. This way, next time I eat baguette, I can imagine the taste of croissants!

The croissant tastes soft. Sister Paopaoju said that the skin should be crispy when freshly baked and the inside should be soft. When I ate it, the outside was soft because it had been covered for too long.

But that’s not important. The croissants taste so fragrant and sweet. I heard that butter and sugar are added to them. No wonder they taste so good.

I had obviously intended to eat slowly, taking small bites at a time, but for some reason, in the blink of an eye, the entire croissant in the lunch box was eaten up.

However, I still have two big bubble oranges.

And sister Bubble Orange had already peeled the bubble orange for me and fed it into my mouth.

That bubble orange was so sweet. I ate it and felt so full. I felt that even if I didn’t eat on the next [meal day], I could still make it until the next [meal day].

#//Sister Bubble Orange, I miss you. I'm so hungry now. Really so hungry.....//#

I swear, when I grow up, I will work hard to repay Sister Bubble Orange and buy her a hundred boxes. Oh, no, as long as I can afford it, I will buy croissants for Sister Bubble Orange every day.

#//Sister Bubble Orange, I'm so hungry. I can't grow up here.//#

When Sister Bubble Orange was about to peel the last orange for me, I stopped her.

I am so stupid that I actually forgot that Sister Bubble Orange hasn’t had lunch yet. I can’t eat this orange anymore. I have to save it for Sister Bubble Orange.

But Sister Bubble Orange said that she had already had breakfast at home and was not hungry this time, so she asked me to eat the last Bubble Orange.

I originally wanted to eat it, and I felt that my stomach could eat any amount of food, but... I thought about my brother Jacques who lived in the bed above me. He seemed very hungry and couldn't sleep last night, so I decided to take this bubble orange back to my brother Jacques.

I told Sister Bubble Orange about my idea. She agreed, touched my head and said I was a good child.

My sister sat with me for a while, just murmuring some terms that I couldn’t understand, like... "evidence"... "media"... or something like that.

#//Jacques.....//#

There is meat in today's meal, I am so happy!!!

Even though they were just small shrimps and crabs caught from the Gray River, they were really meat!

Jacques was also very happy. After I gave him the big bubble orange yesterday, he ate all the peels, not wasting anything. Although when sister Bubble Orange threw the orange peels at Bubble Orange, I also wanted to call sister to eat the peels.

Jacques told me this morning that he had a very sweet sleep and was not woken up by hunger once.

Jacques also had a beautiful dream. In the dream, he had endless bubble oranges to eat. He could eat them from day to night, and from one [meal day] to the next [meal day].

#//Jacques....I would rather I didn't give you this bubble orange than have you accept the punishment from the dean on my behalf......//#

Today is the day when Sister Bubble Orange is on duty! Happy!

Sister Bubble Orange brought us a lot of delicious food today, including candies, chocolates, croissants, bubble oranges, and countless bags of white sugar wrapped in small packages.

However, Sister Bubble Orange ordered us to finish eating in front of her. As for the sugar, we had to carry it carefully with us so as not to be discovered, and we could only eat it when we were extremely hungry.

Today, something was not right in the atmosphere of the orphanage.

The dean actually announced that today was not a [meal day], but she would provide meals three times a day, and the same will be true tomorrow.

Some of the older brothers and sisters who had stayed in the orphanage longer had expressions of joy on their faces, while others showed expressions of deep fear.

[January 1, XX, afternoon] (An unusually well-preserved page, with a trace of sticky substance smeared on both the left and right pages, as if to protect the page)

Yesterday was actually the open day of the Gray River District Orphanage. #// “Open Day”? //#

Several groups of people came to the orphanage. It was said that they were all there to adopt children. Any child they liked would be taken out of the [Gray River District] and live on the ground, leading a wonderful life where they would never have to go hungry again.

But, I always feel that there is something wrong with these kind people who came to adopt us...

Why did a fat uncle want to rub Emily's breasts? Why did a brother wearing a mask look at us like we were experimental equipment?

I don't know clearly. I just remember that I fell into a deep sleep after dinner last night, and when I woke up, I was sleeping in an unfamiliar bed.

I heard from my beloved mother-in-law that we both fainted because we had the flu.

And those children who were selected at the open day yesterday have all been taken away.

Seeing that a large number of familiar faces were gone around me, I didn’t know what to say. I felt upset, but I didn’t know how to express it.

At least they were adopted and could have a happy life.

But there was an elder brother who had a better physique. He woke up very early and said that he seemed to have seen the adopted children in the [Infirmary].

I don't know if this brother saw it wrong. #//What the brother said is true.....//#

【February 1, XX, evening】 (a well-preserved page)

Today is the day when Sister Bubble Orange is on duty! Happy!!!

Sure enough, Sister Bubble Orange brought us a lot of delicious food and told us a lot of stories.

However, when Sister Bubble Orange asked why so many familiar faces were missing, everyone fell silent.

An older brother told Sister Paopaoju that the missing children were taken away by kind-hearted people on the [Open Day].

Unexpectedly, Sister Bubble Orange frowned and said that it was unreasonable for the dean to do so.

After saying that, Sister Bubble Orange was about to go to the Dean's Office again to find the Dean.

Somehow I wasn't afraid and followed Sister Bubble Orange all the way. I even ran behind the wall of the [restroom] and eavesdropped on the conversation between Sister Bubble Orange and the dean.

This time, they seemed to be arguing again, and the argument became more and more intense until a sound of fighting was heard.

I shuddered immediately, and then I saw Sister Bubble Orange covering her face and crying, running out of the Dean's Office.

broken!

The dean also came out, and he seemed to have seen me as well.

Fortunately, the dean didn't seem to mind my eavesdropping and simply walked away ignoring my presence.

My loving mother-in-law pulled me out in the afternoon and gave me a good beating, and also punished me by not allowing me to eat tomorrow [meal day].

.......

【February 2, XX, evening】 (a well-preserved page)

I was so hungry, my stomach was rumbling, and I tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.

Because I was beaten and punished by my loving mother-in-law yesterday, I was in pain and hungry. I tossed and turned in bed and couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

In order to relieve my hunger, I drank a lot of water. I couldn't hold it any longer, so I had to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night.

But when I just entered the bathroom, I saw a masked dark figure walking towards me and bumped into me.

I wanted to scream loudly to call the guard on duty, but I got a shushing sound from that person. Then Heiye took off his mask, and underneath the mask was Sister Bubble Orange!

I immediately cooperated with Sister Bubble Orange and entered a bathroom near the window with her without saying a word. Sister Bubble Orange told me that many of the director's behaviors were wrong and violated the [Fontaine Law] and the [Gray River District Orphanage Charity Foundation Management Regulations].

Now, she sneaked into the Dean's Office under the cover of night to collect evidence. When the evidence is conclusive, she will report everything to the Steambird Newspaper. Sister Bubble Orange said that this is the most just newspaper in Fontainebleau, and they will return light and justice to us.

After saying that, Sister Bubble Orange searched through all her pockets, took out two bubble oranges and a few bags of white sugar, handed them all to me, and told me to forget everything that happened tonight. Even if I couldn't forget, I must remember to keep it a secret.

After explaining all this, Sister Bubble Orange deftly stepped on the toilet and climbed out of the window under my gaze.
