heavy evening light

Xiang Wanguang lowered his head, his eyes stayed on Xi Nan, paying close attention to his every move, for fear that he might miss important information in the blink of an eye.

However, Xi Nan was silent.

Seeing this, Xiang Wanguang raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, "I'm not prepared..."

"No." Xi Nan quickly denied it, the tails of his eyes were slightly red, and he didn't know whether it was from embarrassment or what, "First make a wish."

Xi Nan looked at the flickering candle, and said worriedly, "Otherwise, the candle will almost burn out."

Xi Nan put the cake on the coffee table, then moved it to the side to make room for Xiang Wanguang so that he could make a wish better.

In fact, he didn't believe in this before, and even used making wishes on birthday cakes as a trick to coax children, so every time people around him made wishes on birthdays, Xi Nan would always stand aside with a sneer.

Being cute makes Xi Nan superstitious.

When he celebrated his birthday last year, Xi Nan declined the invitation of his colleagues to get together, went to the cake shop to buy a small cake and took it home, then seriously lit the candles, and then did something that he had never dared to think about before.

Xi Nan clasped his hands together, closed his eyes facing the dancing candlelight, and made a very sincere wish: he hoped that Xiang Wanguang would be by his side in the coming year.

And now a year later, the wish has come true.

Xiang Wanguang looked at the dancing candle flames, then turned his head to look at Xi Nan who was still looking at him, and suddenly twitched the corners of his mouth, "I have nothing to wish for."

He is living a pretty good life now, and he can have what he wants, and he doesn't need to rely on making wishes to ask for anything extravagantly.

"Ah?" Xi Nan was slightly taken aback, "The wish is very accurate, you..."

Xiang Wanguang looked away, stared at the crooked words written in chocolate on the small cake, guessed that it was probably written by Xi Nan himself, "Is it really that accurate?"

"Yes." Xi Nan nodded.

"That's it." Xiang Wanguang suddenly turned his head and smiled at Xi Nan, "That is indeed a wish."

Xiang Wanguang clasped his hands together, instead of closing his eyes, he stared at Xi Nan and looked at him, "I..."

"You can't say it!" Xi Nan ignored his shyness, covered Xiang Wanguang's mouth with his hand, and said with a blushing face, "If you have to recite silently, it won't work if you say it out."

Xiang Wanguang didn't move, and looked down, feeling that his breath could hit Xi Nan's palm.Xi Nan followed Xiang Wanguang's line of sight to look down, only then did he realize what he had done, and quickly withdrew his hands, his face was so red that he could bleed.

But even so, Xi Nan didn't forget his persistence, and repeated, "You can't say it out loud."

Xiang Wanguang looked at Xi Nan who was steaming all over his body, curled his mouth and said, "I don't care."

Xi Nan wanted to say more, but Xiang Wanguang looked at him and said before he could speak, "If it doesn't work, then I don't need to agree."

Xi Nan didn't know why Xiang Wanguang was so persistent, but after Xiang Wanguang finished saying this, Xi Nan didn't speak again.

Compared to not making a wish, Xiang Wanguang would at least say his wish out loud. If it really doesn't work then, at least he would know what Xiang Wanguang's wish was, and at worst he would help him realize it.

It's just that when he heard Xiang Wanguang's wish, Xi Nan fell into samadhi instantly, and he froze and looked at Xiang Wanguang in disbelief.

Xiang Wanguang did make a wish just now, but the wish he made has nothing to do with himself, but every word points to Xi Nan.

Seeing that Xi Nan was stupid, Xiang Wanguang couldn't help laughing, and then repeated the wish he made just now, "I really don't have anything to wish for, if I must make one..."

Xiang Wanguang paused, then looked into Xi Nan's eyes and said seriously, "Then I hope today is a good day, and Nan Nan can be happy every day."

Xi Nan, who had finally calmed down, felt his nose hurt again after Xiang Wanguang's words, and almost cried out.

However, Xiang Wanguang didn't feel how poignant his words were.He retracted his gaze, blew out the candle vigorously, then picked up the knife and fork on one side, and began to cut the cake for Xi Nan.

"Birthdays are always

have the cake. "Xiang Wanguang took the only cherries on the cake and put it on the cake cut for Xi Nan, "Eat it. "

Xi Nan looked down at the cherries embedded in the cream, and suddenly said, "Yes."

"Huh?" Xiang Wan, who was cutting the cake for herself, slapped her bare hands and asked in confusion.

"I will be happy every day." Xi Nan looked at Xiang Wanguang and smiled, his eyes curved into a beautiful arc, "I will do what I say."

"That's good."

"But you have to do the same, no," Xi Nan changed the subject, "You are better than me, no matter what."

Xiang Wanguang was stunned, "This is too greedy."

But Xi Nan shook his head and corrected what Xiang Wanguang said, "You deserve it."

Xi Nan reached out and pinched the handle of the cherries. Under Xiang Wanguang's gaze, he rolled his tongue and ate it into his mouth. He said with a smile, "It's very sweet."

Xiang Wanguang tightened his hand holding the knife and fork, forced himself to look away from Xi Nan's pink tongue, lowered his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Yeah."

Xi Nan still wanted to talk to Xiang Wanguang, but he glanced at the wall clock on the wall out of the corner of his eye. Seeing that it was getting late and they had to work after dawn, he stopped thinking about chatting.

Seeing Xi Nan's silence, Xiang Wanguang thought of his unanswered question at the beginning, he was not as calm as before, so he hesitated to ask Xi Nan.

It's just that Xiang Wanguang hasn't figured out how to mention it to Xi Nan, but Xi Nan took the initiative to mention it and asked him to wait here, then he turned and went into the room to get his things.

Looking at Xi Nan's back, Xiang Wanguang began to guess the gift he had prepared.

On his birthday, Xi Nan gave him a set of miniature sculptures, and now the model named Jia is still treasured in his study.Now that he is 26 years old, and it is the first time the two of them celebrate their birthday together after seven years, Xiang Wanguang feels that with Xi Nan's character, the gift he prepared may not be worse than before.

However, when Xiang Wanguang did not open the gift in person as Xi Nan said, but opened the gift box Xi Nan gave him after finishing everything, Xiang Wanguang looked at the contents of the box, but was still caught by Xi Nan. It was shocked once.

He guessed right, Xi Nan gave him a 26th birthday gift, which was as amazing as a coming-of-age gift.

The box is filled with randomly placed stamps, accompanied by postcards of all kinds.Stamps and postcards can be matched, from different regions of different countries, and some postcards have simple words on the back.

In addition, there is a well-packed letter under the box.

Xiang Wanguang's eyes changed slightly, he pursed his lips, picked up the letter and opened it.

There was only a thin piece of paper inside, still smelling of ink, it could be seen that the letter was written recently.

Lowering his eyes to Wanguang, he began to read the letter.

"Dear my love:

I'm probably tossing and turning in bed when you read this letter.

Today is your birthday, your 26th birthday, and it has been seven years since I last celebrated your birthday with you.

I have been thinking about what gift to give you for a long time. After all, I gave you a 'home' with your gift. Your 26th birthday must not be worse than this.

However, I thought about it carefully, and now we are not what we were seven years ago. You can get what you want by yourself, and you don't need me to give it to you.

So in the end I gave you such a gift.

For seven years and thousands of days and nights, I have flown across five continents and visited dozens of countries. Every time I land, I collect local stamps and postcards.

Tao Jiang once laughed at me as a collector, otherwise how could I collect so many things.I didn't answer him then, but now that I've told you, I think you can guess why.

Although you are not around, I want you to know every place I have been to. Although the stamps and postcards I collected cannot be sent to you, I can save them and give them all to you one day. By the way Do you want to go together next time?

Xiang Wanguang, happy birthday!

Your follower Xi Nan. "

Xiang Wanguang read the letter carefully again

, then bowed his head and kissed the letter reverently, before putting away the letter as if it were a priceless treasure.

Looking at the stamps of different colors in the box and the postcards of different styles, Xiang Wanguang couldn't hold back the corners of his mouth and laughed.

"Nannan," Xiang Wanguang took out a postcard with thoughts written on it, and said softly with a smile in his eyes, "I miss you too."

Xiang Wanguang paused, and added, "I miss you more every time I see you."
