heavy evening light

"... Tomorrow is New Year's Day," Xia Dongdudu pretended to mention it casually, "won't you come to my house for the holiday?"

Xi Nan closed the computer, leaned back on the chair, frowned and rubbed his temples, "No."

"I've been very busy during this time, and it's hard to take a vacation. I want to sleep well at home."

Xia Dong knew Xi Nan's true thoughts and understood his choice.But his mother, Ms. Liao, pressed him to make this call. Xia Dong couldn't imagine what would happen if he didn't persuade Xi Nan to come over.

"You don't need to sleep for so long." Xia Dong said with a smile, "New Year's Day is a three-day holiday, so it's good to go out for a walk, always stay at home..."

"Xia Dong." Xi Nan interrupted the non-stop Xia Dong, "You should understand."

"I don't want to go to the floating market." Xi Nan sighed, "So explain to Auntie for me, wait for me..." Xi Nan paused, and then said, "I'll come back when the time comes."

After Xi Nan said that, Xia Dong had no other choice, "All right."

"But it's not a problem to just stay at home," Xia Dong thought for a while and then said, "Why don't you go and live with Xiang Wanguang?"

"I want to too, but I can't help it." Xi Nan lowered his eyes, "He wants to go home to accompany Aunt Shao."

Hearing that Xia Dong hesitated to speak, he seemed to have something important to say to Xi Nan, but he opened and closed his mouth, but he still didn't say a word.

On the other hand, Xi Nan here, thinking about Xiang Wanguang's current life, hesitated and asked his doubts, "How did Xiang Wanguang... go back to school?"

Xia Dong, who was waiting for Xi Nan's question, didn't expect Xi Nan to say such a word suddenly, so he didn't answer it for a moment.But before Xia Dong could think of a reason to answer, Xi Nan over there denied himself, "Why do I ask you this, you don't necessarily know."

Seeing that Xi Nan changed the subject by himself, Xia Dong hesitated again and again and chose to remain silent, swallowing the answer down to his lips.

It's just that Xi Nan didn't expect Xia Dong's mouth to be consecrated, so he hung up Xia Dong's phone and received a voice call from Xiang Wanguang, asking when he left work.

Because it was the New Year's Eve, Xi Nan knew that the people in the company were also exhausted recently, so he took advantage of the opportunity to give them an early shift so that they could have a good New Year's Eve, so they got off work at 31:[-] pm on the [-]st.

Xi Nan didn't think much about asking Wanguang the deep meaning of this question, and subconsciously answered after hearing his question, and then he heard Xiang Wanguang say, "Alright, I'll pick you up at your company then."

"?" Xi Nan was puzzled.

Xiang Wanguang on the other side of the phone smiled lightly, and said in a serious tone, "Tomorrow is New Year's Day, and I want to take you home for the holiday."

Unlike Xia Dong who came here at the request of Liao's mother, what Xiang Wanguang said was 100% from his own heart.This made the corners of Xi Nan's mouth rise in disobedience.

A few hours later, Xi Nan took the luggage he had simply packed, locked the door of the house, left the community and sat in the passenger seat of Xiang Wanguang's car.

It's not too far from the whole city to Jiangcheng, and it takes more than two hours to drive there.However, Xiang Wanguang was worried that Xi Nan would be hungry halfway, so after Xi Nan fastened his seat belt, he took it out from the side to pick up the food Xi Nan bought along the way, and asked Xi Nan to pad his stomach first.

Xi Nan hugged the biscuits Xiang Wanguang bought, and while eating, looked at Wanguang sideways, trying to find something to chat with him, "Should we go home directly after getting off the expressway?"

"Huh?" Xiang Wanguang was puzzled.

"It's not good for me to come to my aunt's house empty-handed." Xi Nan explained, and then asked, "Is there a holiday in early autumn?"

He said suddenly, "If Chu Qiu is at home, then I should buy some gifts."

"Go to Hill first after getting off the highway, and then go back?" Xi Nan suggested to Wanguang, "Is that okay?"

Xiang Wanguang couldn't help laughing, thinking that Xi Nan's appearance was really too much like a daughter-in-law who went home to see her mother-in-law.But he just thought about it, and didn't say it, "Okay."

Hill was the largest shopping mall in Jiangcheng many years ago, and it has everything you need.However, Jiangcheng's economy is developing rapidly. Although Hill is still a big shopping mall, it is not as crowded as before, and the service is not as good as it used to be.

good before.

So after shopping around for a while, Xi Nan and Xiang Wanguang didn't find anything satisfactory, so they left for Universal Shopping Center with Xiang Wanguang.

Shao Fang's gift was very good, and Xi Nan knew that she liked to drink tea, so she bought a can of high-quality tea.It's just that Xiang Chuqiu's gift was a bit difficult to choose, and Xi Nan couldn't find a satisfactory one after shopping for a long time.

Standing by the side, Xiang Wanguang looked at Xi Nan who was frowning, and suggested, "Give me the shoes."

"?"

"Last time he kept whispering in my ear that he liked a certain shoe, but he didn't buy it because he didn't have enough money."

Xi Nan was amused when he heard the words, and quickly asked, "Which one?"

Xiang Wanguang was not very satisfied with Xi Nan's initiative, and suddenly regretted making this suggestion to Xi Nan.But Xiang Wanguang just thought about it, and then told Xi Nan his name, and then took him straight to the store of that pair of shoes.

Ten minutes later, Xi Nan walked out of the specialty store with the bag in his hand, smiling so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, "You can go back."

Xiang Wanguang glanced at the things in Xi Nan's hand, "Is it all bought?"

"Yes." Xi Nan said with a smile, "Aunt Shao and Chu Qiu."

Xiang Wanguang pursed his lips, and wanted to ask Xi Nan what about him, but Xiang Wanguang thought about it, and felt that if he really asked, it would be too silly.

So Xiang Wanguang wanted it very much, but still didn't mention it, and then smiled and said, "Okay."

Seeing Xiang Wanguang like this, Xi Nan didn't know what to think, and for a moment felt that he had guessed what Xiang Wanguang was thinking.So he paused for a moment, couldn't hold back his laughter, and said with a bent eye, "I've prepared yours, too."

"?"

"But I didn't bring it here." Xi Nan said with a smile, "I'll replenish it when I get back, okay?"

Xiang Wanguang didn't expect Xi Nan to be able to see what was going on in his heart, so he didn't know what words to use to describe his mood.But it would be wrong to say that I am happy.

"Okay." Xiang Wanguang replied softly, "Then let's go back quickly, my mother is still waiting for us to go home for dinner."

Xi Nan nodded, "OK."

When they got home, the door was opened to Chu Qiu. Seeing him, Xi Nan quickly called Chu Qiu with a smile, and then handed him the things he was carrying, "New Year's Eve gift."

Xiang Chuqiu didn't expect this to happen, subconsciously glanced at Xiang Wanguang, saw that he just smiled, called Brother Xi Nan, and accepted the gift, "Thank you, Brother Xi Nan."

Shao Fang, who was still cooking in the kitchen, heard the movement at the door, and walked out wearing an apron, "Nan'er is here."

"Chuqiu, pour you a glass of water for Brother Xi Nan," Shao Fang said softly, bending down to help Xi Nan find slippers. "After you went back last time, the slippers my aunt bought at the supermarket will definitely not be any bigger."

Shao Fang handed the cotton mop that had been washed once to Xi Nan, then raised her eyes to look at Wan Guang, and said with a smile, "The dishes are all fried, and I'll wait until you get home."

"After getting off the expressway, I went to the shopping mall and wasted some time." Xiang Wanguang explained.

"What are you going to the mall for?" Shao Fang was puzzled, looked at Xi Nan and said, "Are you afraid that you don't have any toiletries when you come to Auntie's house?"

Xi Nan waved his hands hastily, shook his head and said, "No!"

"Then you still go shopping at the mall." Shao Fang said with a smile, "Auntie has prepared everything for you, and I guarantee that you will have a happy stay at Auntie's house."

Shao Fang's enthusiasm warmed Xi Nan's heart. He handed the bag to Shao Fang embarrassedly, smiled and said, "I'm going to buy a gift for my aunt."

Shao Fang was slightly stunned, and then reacted and took the bag in Xi Nan's hand, and looked at Xi Nan pretending to be reproachful, but the joy in her tone couldn't be stopped, "Come as soon as you come, and bring any gifts."

"Should be."

Xiang Wanguang left them early and went into the kitchen to help Shao Fang take out the dishes in the pot. Seeing Shao Fang and Xi Nan still talking by the door, he smiled helplessly and said, "Mom, the dishes are all ready, you Put Xi Nan over for dinner, he hasn't eaten yet."

"I know." Shao Fang glanced back at Wan Guang, and when she looked at Xi Nan again, she joked with a smile in her eyes, "Hurry up and eat, or someone will feel sorry for you."

After putting away the gift Xi Nan gave him, Xiang Chuqiu went into the kitchen to help everyone prepare meals, while Xiang Wanguang was pouring drinks.Shao Fang still took Xi Nan's hand and asked him how he was doing gently.

Although the living room is small, it is full of warmth.
