heavy evening light

Xi Nan didn't ask Xiang Wanguang to help.

After returning from the supermarket, Xiang Wanguang wanted to help Xi Nan, but Xi Nan rejected his offer and asked him to sit in the living room and wash the fruits he just bought before turning to work in the kitchen.

Xi Nan closed the kitchen door, thus blocking the movement in the kitchen to a great extent, Xiang Wanguang couldn't hear too much sound while sitting in the living room, and could only see Xi Nan's busy figure.

The last time Xi Nan came to school to deliver food to him, he said that he made those things himself, but Xiang Wanguang was half-believed, after all, Xi Nan used to be completely untouchable, and he might not even know how to make dumplings, let alone cook. up.

But now Xiang Wanguang looked at Xi Nan's skillful techniques in the kitchen, but had to believe in the authenticity of Xi Nan's words.

Thinking of this, Xiang Wanguang couldn't help lowering his eyes, and some images played uncontrollably in a loop in his mind, making Xiang Wanguang's heart throb.

In order to save time, Xi Nan washed and put away what needed to be used first, and then started to chop vegetables.However, Xi Nan hadn't cut it long before the kitchen door was opened, and Xiang Wanguang, who was sitting in the living room, walked in.

Hearing the sound, Xi Nan quickly stopped what he was doing, turned his head to look at Xiang Wanguang in surprise, and said happily, "Why did you come in?"

Glancing at Wanguang, he didn't answer Xi Nan's question, but said, "I'll help you."

"How can I do that?" Although this made Xi Nan happy, he still wanted to prepare the table by himself, so Xi Nan smiled and said, "I'll help you turn on the TV in the living room, you can watch a movie."

As he said that, Xi Nan washed his hands and wanted to go out, but Xiang Wanguang blocked the door, and shook his head and said, "No need."

Xiang Wanguang walked forward, looked at the ingredients that Xi Nan had packed, and said, "I'll chop the vegetables."

Xi Nan was dissatisfied with what Xiang Wanguang said, and wanted to refute it, but Xiang Wanguang glanced at him lightly, "It's almost ten o'clock."

"Oh." As soon as Xiang Wanguang said this, Xi Nan's voice became hoarse, "I..."

Xiang Wanguang stared at Xi Nan, then softly coaxed, "Be obedient."

Xi Nan, who was about to talk, went blank when he heard Xiang Wanguang's words. He stared blankly at Xiang Wanguang, unable to say a word.

Xiang Wanguang didn't wait for Xi Nan to speak, so he turned his head to look at Xi Nan strangely, seeing that he was still standing stupidly, but tears suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he sighed helplessly for a moment.

He put down the kitchen knife, pulled up his sleeves, and then raised his hand to wipe Xi Nan's tears, his voice became softer, "Why are you still crying?"

Xi Nan raised his eyes to look at Wan Guang, his eyelashes were wet with tears, which made him look very distressing now, making people who saw him want to kiss his eyes lightly, and hug him to coax him.

But Xi Nan didn't pay so much attention, all he could do was Xiang Wanguang.He couldn't understand why Xiang Wanguang was so gentle tonight, giving Xi Nan the illusion that they would reconcile in a second.

"I don't understand." Xi Nan's voice was hoarse, and he asked bluntly, "Why are you so nice to me all of a sudden?"

Looking at the teardrops on his index finger, Xiang Wanguang looked up at Xi Nan who had been staring at him, and suddenly laughed softly.

Xi Nan waited for a while and didn't hear Xiang Wanguang's answer, so he couldn't help guessing, "It's because I cried when I called you today, and then you felt sorry for me, so you sympathized with me, so... "

"I'm not that kind." Xiang Wanguang raised the corner of his mouth, but his tone was very cold, "I don't have this time either."

"Then..." Xi Nan continued to ask, but Xiang Wanguang cut him off just as he opened his mouth, "If you don't want to go out, then you can chop the vegetables, and I will cook them."

Xiang Wanguang stopped and discussed with Xi Nan, "Is that okay?"

Xi Nan knew that Xiang Wanguang changed the subject because he didn't want to talk anymore, so he really wanted to know the reason, but he didn't ask any further, fearing that Xiang Wanguang would be unhappy, so he nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Xi Nan didn't ask any more questions, Xiang Wanguang heaved a sigh of relief, and turned to wash the pot to prepare for cooking.

He can answer Xi Nan's question naturally, even if he doesn't tell the truth

, Xiang Wanguang can also make up an answer to perfuse Xi Nan.It's just that Xiang Wanguang didn't think it was necessary, so he changed the subject.

Moreover……

Xiang Wanguang looked sideways at Xi Nan who was cutting vegetables with his head down, thinking of the question he asked him just now, he couldn't help but smile.

I don't want to answer some questions now, not because I don't want to answer them, but because it's not time to answer them.Just like the question Xi Nan asked just now, it's not that Xiang Wanguang didn't want to answer it, he just didn't want to tell Xi Nan the answer now.

After a table of dishes was ready, it was almost eleven o'clock.Afraid of wasting time, Xi Nan turned around to serve the meal while Xiang Wanguang was still washing the pot, so when Xiang Wanguang cleaned up the kitchen, Xi Nan also finished it.

There is not much difference between eating and drinking, neither of the two mentioned birthdays, only chatted occasionally, and then lowered their heads to eat seriously.

Xi Nan didn't take the initiative to mention it, and Xiang Wanguang naturally pretended not to know, and ate quietly.When cleaning the table after eating, Xi Nan was no more active than when cooking. After helping Xiang Wanguang clean the table, he left the kitchen without rushing to wash the dishes.

Looking at the bowls in the sink, Xiang Wanguang couldn't help lowering his head and laughing when he thought of the speed at which Xi Nan walked out just now.He didn't go to see Xi Nan, and naturally he didn't let him wash the dishes. After laughing helplessly for a while, he resigned himself to doing the dishes.

Although washing dishes is easy work, the sticky touch can dissuade a group of people, making them prefer to do more tiring work than to wash dishes.

Naturally, Xiang Wanguang didn't like washing dishes much, but he just didn't want to see Xi Nan suffer from it.

He turned on the cold water to rinse the washed dishes, put them into the disinfection cabinet one by one, and then quickly squeezed the hand sanitizer to wash his hands. After his hands were no longer sticky, Xiang Wanguang shook his hands and walked out.

A few seconds later, Xiang Wanguang looked at Xi Nan who was standing in front of him, pursed his lips and said nothing.

Originally, he was supposed to wash the dishes, but after dinner, Xi Nan looked at the time and found that it was past 40:[-], so he didn't show courtesy to Xiang Wanguang, and even walked out of the kitchen cheekily after clearing the table.

Fortunately, he didn't say anything to Wanguang like this, so Xi Nan was able to use the name of going downstairs to take out the trash, and then brought up the cake that had been topped earlier.

The headlights in the living room were turned off at some point, and only the wall lamps were turned on at this moment, so that the living room would not look too dark.And Xi Nan was holding an eight-inch cake with candles lit at unknown time.

The living room was so quiet that only the sound of the clock on the wall swinging could be heard.Xi Nan raised his eyes to look at the clock, and saw that it was 59:[-], and it would be midnight in a few tens of seconds.

Obviously, he had rehearsed countless times in his heart, but he really wanted to do this, but Xi Nan felt embarrassed again.

Xi Nan's face was a little hot, and he counted the time silently in his heart. When it entered the countdown, Xi Nan raised his eyes to look at Wan Guang while following the countdown.

The wall clock on the wall was ticking, every time it hit Xi Nan's heart, making him tremble along with it.

……five four three two one…

At the same time that the wall clock made a sound like hitting an ancient clock to remind that it was zero o'clock, Xi Nan also blushed, restrained his embarrassment and said what he had been holding back all night, "Xiang Wanguang, happy birthday."

Xi Nan paused after speaking, and added, "Happy 26th birthday."

Originally, he just wanted to say happy birthday, but suddenly he remembered that he had been absent from Xiang Wanguang's birthday for seven years, so he added his age and said it again.

Xi Nan did this to remind himself that he has missed seven years, and since Xiang Wanguang was 26 years old, he must not miss every birthday in the future.

However, Xiang Wanguang didn't respond to Xi Nan's blessing. He still maintained the posture of staring at the cake at the beginning, and didn't even give Xi Nan his eyes.

Seeing this, Xi Nan suddenly became flustered, lost the confidence he had at the beginning, afraid that Xiang Wanguang would not like what he did.

Xi Nan followed Xiang Wanguang's gaze to look at the cake in his hand, and hurriedly explained, "I bought it so big..."

But before Xi Nan finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xiang Wanguang, "Xi Nan."

"Ah?" Xi Nan didn't know why Xiang Wanguang called him, so he answered subconsciously.

Xi Nan froze

, the heart-scarred Lao Gao thought that Xiang Wanguang would be sentenced to death next.

It's just that there are always exceptions, and there are always turning points in development, so what Xi Nan waited for was not the death penalty, but it was not much better, because after listening to Xiang Wanguang's words, Xi Nan was stunned again.

"You all told me happy birthday," Xiang Wanguang's tone was so flat that people couldn't hear his true emotions, but his eyes were frighteningly tight, which made Xi Nan's heart beat faster. "What about the birthday present?"
