Why are you back?

Wen Ning was stunned there, thinking about this question with hindsight.

She was in a hurry along the way, thinking about going back before dark, at least in time for dinner, but she ignored why she wanted to come back.

Dazed and blank.

The moment she saw the post, her body memory seemed to be integrated into her instinct, and she was extremely excited, but what followed was regret and guilt. She even forgot Gu Chixi's birthday - the day she loved and cherished the most.

But that was the past.

today…

Why?

Why are you coming back? Didn't he always think Gu Chixi was dead? What about birthdays? She didn't care anymore, otherwise she wouldn't forget this day. People don't care, do you still care about birthdays?

Wen Ning bit her lip.

She can lie to others, but she can't lie to herself. If she really doesn't care, she won't leave her family behind and run back.

Even if she remembers her birthday now, she came back in a hurry and didn't prepare anything. It was meaningless to say happy birthday in a shriveled way.

Wen Ning couldn't find a reason, so she said anxiously, "Oh, I'm not used to staying in the country, and I have nothing to do at home, so I'll come back early..."

After I said it, I thought it was a poor excuse.

She lowered her eyes guiltily.

Gu Chixi's eyes dimmed, a smile on his lips.

Inexplicably embarrassing.

Wen Ning raised her head again and looked at her: "Are you going out?"

"...Well." Gu Chixi nodded, "Go to my mother's place."

She thought that Wen Ning would not come back today, so she promised the eldest sister to go to dinner in the evening. In front of Wen Ning, she was the only daughter of her parents' divorced, and it was a big holiday, so she couldn't talk about having dinner with friends.

If she doesn't agree, there's still room to change her mind, but it's hard to temporarily change things that have already been agreed. Besides, her relationship with the eldest sister is not close, so she has to ask someone to do things.

Gotta go tonight anyway.

It's just like this, they miss the time to get along with each other again.

Wen Ning was a little surprised and wanted to ask her if she said she would not go home, but held back, "Oh."

"When will you be back?"

"I try to be as early as possible, about eight o'clock."

"it is good."

Gu Chixi looked at his watch, "I'll go first."

Exactly the same scene, morning and evening, the two people are completely reversed. Wen Ning watched Gu Chixi go out, walked to the window, and pulled the curtain to look out.

The silver sports car is gone...

After a long time, Wen Ning straightened her waist and took a step back, only to realize that she hadn't changed her slippers and her bag was still in the car.

She went out again, came in with her bag, and changed her shoes. She raised her head to look at the empty house, to where Gu Chixi was standing just now. She had never found that the house was so deserted, and she felt an unprecedented loneliness.

Running all the way for more than two hours came like a joke.

Wen Ning regretted it.

If you want to forget, forget it completely, you will never remember it, if you want to remember, you will always remember it, and never leave.

Why didn't she remember it sooner? What's the use of coming back now? No gifts, no blessings, not even a decent dinner can be prepared.

Wen Ning slumped on the sofa and closed her eyes.

It was getting dark, and the lights were lit in the manor.

Although it is a family reunion festival, there are only three family members living in the huge garden, which is really empty and deserted. Since Gu Jinxian had a child and moved out of the main house, the festive atmosphere was no longer important to her.

After confirming that Gu Chixi was coming, she asked the servants to set up the open-air restaurant and select the ingredients herself.

"Miko, Joe, today is Auntie's birthday, wait a minute and see Auntie want to say happy birthday, you know?"

"I know~"

The two puppies stood side by side in front of their mother, nodding obediently.

Gu Jinxian gave a kiss alone, straightened her waist, and turned her eyes to the asphalt road leading to the gate of the manor.

A silver sports car appears at the end of the road...

Gu Chixi got out of the car and stepped into the manor like a routine. As soon as she got on the terrace, two children ran towards her and shouted in a milky voice, "Happy birthday to my aunt~"

He held up the gift box as if offering a treasure to her.

The child's eyes were clear and bright, and the smile was pure and innocent. Gu Chixi was stunned for a while, then raised his eyes and saw Gu Jinxian standing at the table with her arms folded and smiling at her.

A subtle emotion flooded my heart, very unfamiliar.

She looked back at the children's faces, raised the corner of her mouth lightly, and took the gift, "Thank you."

"Come and sit." Gu Jinxian waved to her.

Gu Chixi glanced around, and subconsciously walked to a position slightly farther away from her, Gu Jinxian suddenly took her hand, pointed to her side, and said, "Sit here."

"…"

She sat silently.

The terrace is high, surrounded by a thick double-glazed fence, and a string of small light bulbs hang along the edge, which emits a warm and soft creamy light like the corner lamps. Standing on the edge of the fence, you can see the lake and mountains, small bridges and flowing water, and now is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and when you look up, you can see the moon as round as an ice plate.

The dishes are much richer than last time, filled with wooden round table turntables.

Among them is a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus rice cakes.

"I've been waiting for you since the afternoon, and you, pinch me, it seems like I'll be eaten half a minute earlier." Gu Jinxian glanced at her sister, smiling and teasing. She picked up the wet towel and slowly wiped her fingers.

The roots are slender and distinct, white as jade.

Gu Chixi frowned slightly, and another feeling of disgust came up uncontrollably. She quickly looked away and landed on the sweet-scented osmanthus rice cake, even more disgusting.

The shadow of the memory floats in my mind...

When she was about seven or eight years old, Gu Jinxian forced her to eat rice cakes. She didn't like it. The man brought the rice cakes to her, pinched her chin with one hand, and grabbed the rice cakes with the other and stuffed them into her mouth.

A teenage child, with no weight on her hands, her fingers almost poked her throat, she retched reflexively, her stomach was nauseous, and tears flowed out.

That was the first time she was bullied and cried.

Before grabbing the rice cake, Gu Jinxian wiped her hands with a wet towel, as elegant as she is now.

Gu Chixi didn't say a word, and ate the food with chopsticks automatically.

The dinner table was quiet, Gu Jinxian knew that her sister was reticent, but she didn't force her to speak, but her eyes lingered on her face, serving her dishes from time to time. The two children are also very well behaved, sitting at the children's small table next to them to eat, with servants taking care of them.

Gu Chixi felt the sight on his side, and couldn't help but tense up his nerves, the action of eating was like a machine.

"Do you still remember what happened when you were a child?" Gu Jinxian suddenly said.

She chopped her chopsticks and shook her head, "No."

"Xixi-"

"…"

"You are thirty today."

"Um."

"Dad is dead."

"Um."

"Can you put it down?" Gu Jinxian said softly, gently holding her left wrist.

Gu Chixi pulled out his hand, and said in a calm tone: "It's all over, there's nothing that can't be let go, but nothing can be created out of thin air, so why force it."

Such as affection.

In the past, the grievances and grievances were not clear, the past was gone, but the family love never existed. How can it be produced overnight from childhood to adulthood.

It's too embarrassing to play sisters' affection cards at a young age.

Gu Jinxian pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "You can come and play more in the future, walk around often, or I can go to your place."

She leaned over her upper body and grabbed Gu Chixi's wrist again. This time, she held it tightly, not allowing her to break free. Her gentle voice surrounded her ears, "Give me a chance to make amends."

A sly smile flashed across his eyes.

Very shallow and fades away quickly.

Gu Chixi didn't answer.

It was already 7:30 after the meal, and the servant brought the big cake up. Gu Chixi was thinking of the family and eager to go back, so he politely declined the invitation to sit for a while longer.

Gu Jinxian didn't force her, she just let her blow out the candles, and the servants cut the cake for the children to eat, and took her out in person.

The night wind is cool.

"Next week, your people will go back safe and sound. You can handle the rest yourself. If you need help, you can find me at any time." Gu Jinxian tugged up the broken hair on her forehead and pinned it behind her ear.

Gu Chixi didn't have time to avoid this action, so he could only take a half step to the side, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, eldest sister."

Building N102 in Tianhe Bay is brightly lit.

A small and delicate cake is placed on the table, covered with a layer of fragrant chocolate sauce, beautiful and attractive, with the words "HappyBirthday" written on it, and it is shining under the lamp.

Wen Ning sat at the table watching it in a daze.

After nearly three hours of fiddling, she made this cake herself. Today is Gu Chixi's birthday, and there are no other gifts.

She just didn't want that person to know that she forgot.

Otherwise, it should be very sad?

Thinking of this, her heart twitched inexplicably.

Just pretend you're preparing for a surprise. Wen Ning thought. Although this "surprise" is really a bit shabby, she did it with all her heart, hoping to make up for a little regret as much as possible.

Memories are flooding in...

In the autumn of her first year of high school, Gu Chixi celebrated her eighteenth birthday. Because it was a coming-of-age ceremony and she had just entered university, the day was very memorable, so she, who never entered the kitchen, wanted to make a cake for her sister herself.

At an age full of enthusiasm, if you have an idea, you must immediately put it into action, and you can't wait for a moment.

She wanted to do it on her own from start to finish, so she didn't tell anyone about it. She looked up the tutorial online, went to the supermarket with pocket money to buy ingredients, and when she came back, she locked herself in the kitchen and looked at the video tutorial. learn to do.

Stirring the ingredients, Wen Ning was clumsy, and the flour smeared her head and face. There were traces of white flowers everywhere on the stove and on the walls.

She was very happy.

Stir with brute force...

The oven at home is not the same as the one used in the video. Wen Ning put the well-stirred ingredients in, and suddenly didn’t know how to adjust it, and in a hurry, he turned it around twice and waited contentedly for the oven to come out.

She cleaned up the kitchen, took a shower, washed away the smell of raw materials on her head, changed into new clothes, and sat in the living room watching TV while waiting.

Looking at it and forgetting the time.

Until a burning smell came from the kitchen...

The servant discovered it first, followed the smell and went in. Seeing black smoke coming out of the oven, he was so frightened that he turned off the kitchen switch before he dared to open it.

Take out a lump of black stuff.

Wen Ning stood beside her, dumbfounded: "What is this?"

"Miss, I want to ask you..." The aunt looked at her awkwardly.

"Well."

It seems to be burnt.

Also broke the oven.

In the evening, Gu Chixi returned to Tianhe Bay from the school, went directly through the gate of his house, and went to Wen Ning's house next door. Xiao Nizi called her in the afternoon and said mysteriously that she had something good to share with her. She had been looking forward to the moment she hung up the phone.

Wen's father and mother had not returned from socializing outside. The door opened by the servant was like grabbing a life-saving straw when he saw her: "Oh, Miss Gu, you have come."

"Where's Lemonade?"

"Crying in the room, alas, she—"

Before he finished speaking, Gu Chixi immediately took off his shoes and rushed upstairs with bare feet.

Wen Ning curled up on the bed with her back to the door, and her body twitched. She ran to the bed and knelt down on one knee, "Ling Ning... what's wrong?"

Xiao Nizi's eyes were red and swollen into walnuts. Gu Chixi hurriedly wiped her tears for her and picked her up, soft as if she was rubbing a piece of marshmallow.

"Why are you crying so well?"

"I baked the cake..." Wen Ning's voice was hoarse and looked at her aggrievedly.

Gu Chixi wondered, "What cake?"

"I want to make you a birthday cake woo woo..." She started crying again, two thin arms around her neck, tears rubbing against her hair.

Gu Chixi suddenly realized, and felt distressed and wanted to laugh, "Don't cry, Ning Ning, let's make another one together."

"I just want to do it for you myself."

"The elder sister is here to teach you, you can do it yourself, okay?"

Wen Ning thought about it and nodded.

The oven at home was broken, and the two went to the next door with the remaining ingredients. Gu Chixi had learned to make pastries. She guided the whole process, Wen Ning started, and finally baked a decent cake.

Gu Chixi, who rarely eats sweets, ate the whole cake.

After that, Wen Ning never made cakes again.

No one deserves her hands.

The hour hand points to eight.

Her vision was a bit blurry, Wen Ning rubbed her eyes lightly, and her hands got wet.

A bunch of powerful headlights swept through the window, and there was movement outside. She raised her eyes and saw a silver sports car parked outside the yard, and a figure came down from the car.

She has come back.

Wen Ning's heartbeat suddenly accelerated and she walked to the sofa.

The door of the living room opened. As expected, Gu Chixi's figure appeared in the line of sight. When he raised his head, the eyes of the two met.

"Lime..." she called softly.

Wen Ning's heart trembled, and she pretended to be calm and said, "It's on time."

"Are you waiting for me?"

"Um."

Gu Chixi was stunned for a moment, and a stream of light overflowed from his deep black eyes. She raised her lips slightly and walked in front of Wen Ning with her slippers on, and was suddenly grabbed by her hand.

"Follow me." Wen Ning pulled her around.

The little cake stood quietly on the table.

Gu Chixi looked at the English words, "This is..."

She seemed to anticipate what it meant, but she wasn't sure if it was what she thought. She turned to look at Wen Ning and held her breath.

Wen Ning looked at her and said softly, "Eighteen adults, thirty-three."

"Happy birthday."

The two looked at each other, Gu Chixi's eyelashes trembled, her eyes were a little wet, she pulled out her hand, whispered "I'm going to the toilet", and walked quickly into the bathroom.

Close the door.

Gu Chixi leaned his back against the wall, and hot tears fell.

She raised her head and took a deep breath, covered her mouth, put one hand on the sink, and saw her red eyes through the mirror, her body gradually trembled uncontrollably.

The turbulent emotions were like a flash flood, racing through her brain.

Can't make the slightest sound.

There was a small pool of clear liquid on the sink.

Gu Chixi wiped away her tears, pressed the flush button on the toilet, then turned on the faucet, picked up the makeup remover oil next to it, poured it on the cotton, and quickly removed her eye makeup. It seemed that her eyes were rubbed even redder.

Pack up, go out.

"What's wrong with your eyes?" Wen Ning asked with a frown.

Gu Chixi said calmly: "I took off my eye makeup just now, it's a little red."

"…Oh."

Wen Ning looked at the small cake and was about to speak when Gu Chixi pulled out the chair and sat down, picked up the small spoon, and took a piece and put it in his mouth.

"Is it delicious?" Wen Ning looked at her nervously.

Gu Chixi nodded, swallowed what was in his mouth, and said softly, "Thank you wife."

Wen Ning let out a sigh of relief.

Her lips and teeth were stained with chocolate sauce, and she looked too gentle, but she looked a little cute. Wen Ning stared at her, unaware that there was a smile in her eyes.

Walking God, a piece of cake was brought to his mouth.

"Eat together." Gu Chixi's eyes brightened.

"it is good."

Wen Ning reached out and wanted to hold the spoon by herself, but Gu Chixi refused and insisted on feeding. She reluctantly opened her mouth to eat the cake. At that moment, the rich chocolate aroma melted on the tip of her tongue.

tasty.

I didn't expect that she would be able to do it all at once after many years.

Considering that Gu Chixi doesn't eat sweets often, especially at night, she doesn't make the cake too big, just enough for two people to eat together. Gu Chixi ate a piece by himself, fed her a piece, one bite per person, and the plate quickly bottomed out.

After eating, I was a little stretched, and I sat and rested.

"I came back in a hurry today, I didn't have time to prepare a gift for you..." Wen Ning said in a low tone.

In the past, when Gu Chixi celebrated her birthday, she would prepare more than one gift half a month in advance. She treats Gu Chixi's birthday more than her own.

But it's different now.

After all, there was a seven-year gap between the two.

"Or, do you have anything you want? I'll supply you as a gift later."

"Have."

"what?"

Gu Chixi stared at her, many words came to his mouth and swallowed, and finally shook his head, "She is very precious, a priceless treasure."

"what?"

"Lime..."

"?"

"Did you come back on purpose today?" Her eyes were deep.

Wen Ning immediately denied: "No."

Gu Chixi felt lost, but the smile in her eyes did not diminish. She was happy and satisfied. At least Wen Ning did not forget her birthday. Twelve years later, she still remembered the autumn when she became an adult...

After sitting for a while, each went to wash up.

Gu Chixi's movements should be slower. After she finished washing, Wen Ning had already come out of the bathroom upstairs for a quarter of an hour.

She was content today, but she couldn't help wanting more. She dried her hair and stood in the living room looking at the second floor, eager to move. However, the next second, Wen Ning came out of the bedroom, went downstairs, and bumped into her.

The long hair is shawl, the cheeks are slightly | drunken powder, and the low | collar shows a large collar bone.

"You—" Wen Ning slipped her throat, hesitated for a long time, and finally remembered what she was going to say, "Would you like to go to the balcony upstairs to watch the moon?"

"Your room?"

"…Um."

Gu Chixi felt slightly flattered, and immediately said hello and followed her upstairs.

The room had the familiar scent of washing up.

As soon as he entered the door, Wen Ning was suddenly hugged from behind, and the warm and hot temperature came over. Gu Chixi's muffled voice was in his ear: "I will not leave if I come up, and I will stay with you tonight."

After speaking, he loosened his arms and turned to her, staring at each other.

There was hope in the quiet eyes.

"Can you?"

Wen Ning hesitated.

She can no longer be as tough as before, but she is also reluctant to agree easily.

"Lime..."

Gu Chixi leaned over and buried her face beside her neck, "I will accommodate my sister once today."
