When Xu Lian helped to wrap gifts to Changkong, Xiang Changkong unconsciously observed her hand. Xu Lian's hands were fair and slender, with almost no flaws. They were hands that had not done any rough work. Thinking of her ordering takeout every day, she should not touch the spring water with her fingers.

But it is the same hands that make so many exquisite and beautiful works. Xiang Zhangkong's eyes wandered over all kinds of scented candles again, and then he was attracted by a candle next to the cashier.

It was a candle made into a spherical shape, the size of an apple, with a blue sky and white clouds pattern. Xiang Zhangkong didn't know how this kind of candle was made, but it was like a bright blue dyed with sunlight and light white clouds, which made him feel the vastness and distantness of the sky.

Seeing that he was looking at the candle, Xu Lian walked over and took it over: "This blue sky and white clouds is a new style I just learned, so far I have only made this one, and I am quite satisfied with the finished product. I named it Liankong."

Xiang Zhangkong was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously repeated: "Love the sky?"

"Well, in order to match it with a suitable essential oil, I put a lot of thought into smelling almost all the fragrances in the world." Xu Lian said, handing the candle to Xiang Changkong, "You smell it. ."

Bowing to the sky a little, the unique smell can't wait to come over: "The smell of the sky."

Xu Lian pursed her lips slightly, and replied, "En."

Xiang Zhangkong took the candle in her hand and held it lightly, with a very gentle touch: "Can you sell this candle to me too?"

"Of course, do you need to wrap it up for you?"

Xiang Changkong smiled: "No need, thank you."

Xu Lian put the two things he bought neatly into the shop's special paper bag, and gave him a voucher, saying that it was a gift for a single purchase of 200 yuan, which could be used for the next purchase. Xiang Changkong put away the voucher, thanked her again, and left with the paper bag.

After he left, Xu Lian also closed the store and went home to sleep.

Xiang Changkong said that his sister was going to die soon, not to make excuses for chatting up with Xu Lian, his sister Xiang Nuan was indeed going to have a birthday.

Xiang Nuan usually lives in the school, and only goes home on weekends every week. Xiang Changkong just took turns off this Saturday, so he decided to choose this day to celebrate her birthday. He went out to buy vegetables early in the morning, and he chose what Xiang Nuan usually likes to eat. On the way back, he received a call from Aunt Fan.

Aunt Fan and his mother used to be in an art troupe. They knew each other when they were young. Over the past few decades, although everyone got older, they never lost contact. He picked up the phone and asked, "Aunt Fan, what's the matter?"

Aunt Fan said over there, "Changkong, Aunt He and I want to ask if you are free tomorrow. We want to go see your mother."

Xiang Changkong said, "I'll take a rest today, why don't you guys come over today, I just happened to be celebrating Xiang Nuan's birthday."

Aunt Fan said "hey": "It's Nuan Nuan's birthday today? Well, I'll tell you Aunt He and buy a big cake for Nuan Nuan."

Xiang Changkong smiled and said, "No need, I bought a lot of vegetables, you and Aunt He can just come directly."

"No, no, Nuan Nuan's birthday, how can there be no cake. Don't worry, soon, Nuan Nuan hasn't arrived home yet, right?"

"No, they have to make up half a day of classes in the morning, and they should be there after twelve o'clock."

"Then I won't tell you, I'm going out now to order cakes."

Aunt Fan hung up the phone in a hurry, Xiang Changkong smiled helplessly, and returned home with a full dish in her hand. After he got home, he started to prepare lunch. At eleven o'clock, Aunt Fan and Aunt He came first, carrying a big cake. The living room, which was originally not that big, seemed even narrower because of the guests. She poured a glass of water for each of them to Changkong, and said to Weng Shuli, who was sitting on the balcony basking in the sun, "Mom, Aunt Fan and the others have come to see you. "

Weng Shuli heard his voice and turned around in the direction of the living room. Seeing her former good sister, Weng Shuli still didn't see any fluctuation on her face. Aunt Fan is a sentimental person. Seeing her like this, she couldn't help but redden her eyes: "Lili..."

Weng Shuli is almost fifty years old, but Aunt Fan still calls her Lili, just like when they were seventeen or eighteen: "How are you doing recently? Are you feeling better?"

Weng Shuli's gaze stayed on her for a while, then turned back to look out the window.

Aunt Fan pursed her lips, as if holding back her tears: "Lili used to be a flower in our art troupe, and she danced really well..." Not to mention when they were young, just a few years ago, they They also dominated the square dance together. Now, Weng Shuli's eyes are like stagnant water, and it seems that they can no longer convey any emotion.

Xiang Changkong patted her on the back and comforted: "Auntie Fan, don't be sad, my mother is much better than before."

Aunt Fan nodded, she knew that Weng Shuli's situation before was worse than now. She also patted Changkong comfortingly, and said to him, "Give her a little more time, and I believe she will get better. Go ahead, don't say hello to us."

"Okay." Xiang Changkong nodded and walked back to the kitchen.

In the living room, Aunt Fan and Aunt He have been chatting with Weng Shuli, and they also talked about some embarrassing things they had done. Although Weng Shuli didn't respond the whole time, the atmosphere in the living room was not cold.

At half past twelve, Xiang Nuan came back with a schoolbag. As soon as she entered the door, she smelled the aroma of boiled pork slices: "Wow, brother, are you eating boiled pork slices for noon today!"

She didn't put down her schoolbag and turned directly into the kitchen. While busy with his work, Xiang Changkong glanced at her: "Go and say hello to Aunt Fan and the others when you come back."

"Oh, good!" Since her mother fell ill, Aunt Fan and the others would come to see her every once in a while, and it wasn't surprising to Xiang Nuan. She got out of the kitchen and said hello to the two aunties in the living room: "Aunt Fan, Aunt He, are you here?"

Aunt Fan said with a smile, "Yes, Nuan Nuan really looks prettier as she grows. Why did she cut her hair short?"

Xiang Nuan said: "Combing your hair in the morning is a waste of time, let's just cut it, and shampooing your hair has become a lot faster!" High school students have to race against time for everything.

Aunt Fan said: "We Nuan Nuan are beautiful, and we look good in any hairstyle. Your brother said that it's your birthday today, and your Aunt He and I ordered a fruit cake for you. I don't know if you like it or not."

"I like it!" Xiang Nuan nodded as if pounding garlic, "You and mother talk slowly, I will put the schoolbag first."

Xiang Nuan trotted back to the room, put down her schoolbag and rushed back to the kitchen, wanting to see what her brother had prepared for her to eat. When Xiang Changkong saw her come in, he was a little helpless: "What are you doing here again?"

"I'll see if there's anything I can help you with."

Xiang Changkong watched her grow up, and her careful thoughts could not hide from his eyes: "I think you want to see if there is anything to eat?"

"… uh, I'm hungry."

"Okay, you bring the dishes out and you can eat them right away."

"it is good!"

Xiang Nuan rolled up his sleeves and went up. Xiang Changkong stopped her, and told her again, "Don't serve the soup over there, I'll do it myself."

"Oh, I see."

A small dining table was filled with dishes at this time, and a candle representing the age of seventeen was placed on the big cake in the middle, lit with warm yellow candlelight. Xiang Nuan closed his eyes and folded his hands together. After making his birthday wish, he opened his eyes and blew out the candle in front of him.

Aunt Fan applauded and asked her, "What wish did Nuan Nuan make?"

Aunt He said: "I guess it must be admitted to a good university."

Xiang Nuan smiled and didn't say the wish: "The wish must be kept secret to be effective."

The two aunties smiled and helped her cut the cake, and the meal was full of joy.

After celebrating the birthday, the two aunties stayed until three o'clock and left. Before leaving, they looked at Weng Shuli again: "Lili, when will we go to the square dance together again. You don't know, many people are asking Where is Teacher Weng?"

Weng Shuli looked at her for a while, then slowly turned her head.

Xiang Nuan looked at the disappointed expressions of the two aunties, and smiled at them: "I'll send you off."

"it is good."

After seeing off the two aunties, Xiang Nuan returned to the room feeling sleepy. She patted her face, cheered up, and took out the math problem book.

After Xiang Changkong finished cleaning up the kitchen, carrying the gift he bought from Xu Lian, he knocked on the warm door. Xiang Nuan was solving a complex function problem when he heard the knock on the door and turned to look: "Brother? Come in, the door is unlocked."

Pushing the door open to Changkong, she walked to her desk and handed over the gift in her hand: "A birthday present for you."

Xiang Nuan was a little surprised. She originally thought that the lunch at noon was her birthday present!

"Thank you, brother!" She happily opened the gift and forgot the irritating math problems. "Wow, what a beautiful plaster board, and a scent!" She said and sniffed lightly, and suddenly felt Body and mind are healed.

"It smells so comfortable, I can't see that you are so good at choosing gifts, brother."

Xiang Zhangkong's inexplicable sense of urgency reappeared: "The owner of the store helped me pick it out."

"Oh, I'll just say it." Xiang Nuan was stunned, she looked at the logo on the paper bag curiously, and found that it seemed a little familiar, "Hey, I seem to have seen this store somewhere, let's think about it..."

After being quiet for three seconds, Xiang Nuan suddenly patted the table, took out his mobile phone and opened Weibo: "A dessert shop I follow recommended something from her house, and I found it, this is it!"

She handed the phone to Xiang Changkong, and when Xiang Changkong looked up, he saw the logo of Xu Lian's shop.

"Everything in her house is super beautiful, but it's not cheap to look at." Xiang Nuan said, and pretended to bump into Xiang Zhangkong, "Brother wasted money."

Xiang Zhangkong smiled and rubbed her head: "It's fine if you like it, then I won't disturb your study." Before turning around and leaving, he added, "By the way, your function problem starts from the third step. wrong."

Xiang Nuan: "..."
