Tender

Huo Si Nuan was sitting alone on the sofa in the living room, listening to laughter and laughter from time to time at the dinner table, as if he was the one with the most.

Her hands clenched her sleeves tightly, and the snake in her heart spit out letters. When looking at Huo Yan, his face became more gloomy and ugly.

People who have tasted jealousy will become ugly and unbearable.

However, such a gloomy expression was only fleeting, and when everyone returned to the living room after dinner, a decent smile appeared on her face again.

"You haven't left yet."

When everyone was clamoring to open the gifts, Tang Qianmo whispered to Huo Sinuan: "Don't go like this, some people are really thick-skinned."

Huo Si Nuan's mouth raised slightly: "He hasn't seen the gift from me yet, why should he leave."

Tang Qianmo snorted dissatisfiedly: "What a gift, it's mysterious."

Huo Si Nuan raised the corner of her mouth, and ignored her.

The coffee table in the living room is filled with all kinds of packaging gift boxes. A round chocolate cake is placed in the middle, with long and thin colored candles inserted on the cake.

Fu Shihan's eyebrows twisted into a hill, and he thought of getting up several times, but Shen Yuran held it down.

"Birthday has to be like a birthday." Shen Yuran put the paper crown on Fu Shihan's head.

Fu Shihan took it off with one hand and said lightly, "What stupid hat."

"You are the birthday star, you can't refuse." Shen Yuran held the paper crown and wanted to put it on Fu Shihan, but Fu Shihan's sharp eyes blocked him.

Shen Yuran retracted his hand and muttered: "If you don't wear it, don't wear it, it's fierce."

Huo Yan took the paper crown in his hand smoothly, and Huo Yan compared his head to Fu Shihan's head.

"I think it's very interesting." Huo Yan took out his mobile phone and prepared to take a photo: "If you don't wear a paper crown, who knows you are the birthday star."

Fu Shihan's dark brown pupils were slanted upwards, looking at the paper crown on his head, his face instantly sank.

Fu Shihan has a good appearance, and he is even more calm and respectful in front of him. He never makes strange things and does things that damage his image.

Everyone thought he would lose his temper and took off the paper crown.

However, never thought that Fu Shihan looked at Huo Yan's phone camera with a look of helplessness, and even acquiesced to her taking pictures of him.

"Okay." He had no patience, and seemed reluctant to wear it.

"Laugh."

Huo Yan tilted his head, frowning and looking at Fu Shihan: "You should be happy on your birthday, and always have a calm face, as if someone owes you money."

Fu Shihan was slammed into the heart by her tilting head. Looking at her slightly frowned slender eyebrows and pink lips, he instantly felt elated.

Unconsciously, his complexion eased, a pair of beautiful peach eyes slightly hooked up, and his white teeth lightly lifted towards Huo Yan's lens, and a faint smile was drawn.

With a "click", Huo Yan pressed the shutter, freezing Fu Shihan's perfect smile.

Everyone took out their cellphones to take pictures of Fu Shihan, but he refused to show his face anymore, with an impatient look on his face: "It's almost done."

"Brother, why should Huo Yan make you laugh? Just laugh. It's our turn and treat you differently." Tang Qianmo pouted: "It's not fair at all."

Fu Shihan took off the paper crown and buckled Huo Yan's head, and looked at Tang Qianmo: "Not convinced?"

"Of course not convinced."

"Don't accept it."

Fu Shihan was simply and neat, too lazy to talk nonsense with this little girl.

"You... are too eccentric. We are a cousin with blood. You don’t hurt, but you don’t care about sister Huo Yan. That’s how we were young." Tang Qianmo stomped his feet, but said with a smile: "Big brother, can you give me something? Is there any reason to convince us brothers and sisters?"

Fu Shihan directly pulled Huo Yan to sit next to him, and put a paper crown on her uprightly, as if she was the little birthday star, and his eyes were full of pampering.

Huo Yan didn't resist either, and sat beside him obediently, with a pair of black and translucent eyes with a harmless look.

"Growing up as a kid, look at her honestly and bullying her how many times." Fu Shihan said as a elder brother: "If I don't protect her a little bit, I won't let your wolves eat their lives? "

What Fu Shihan was telling was the truth. The Fu family's brothers and sisters didn't have any peace of mind when they were young. Playing together in one place can poke a hole in the sky.

Huo Yan was naive and honest when he was young. When he met these guys, he was always bullied and teased, but every time there was Fu Shihan, he was guarding her like a brother.

Once the Huo sisters were in Fu’s summer vacation, a few naughty boys headed by Tang Qianmo secretly fed the caught cicadas into Huo Yan’s bed at night. The cicadas neighed and made Huo Yan jump out of bed. Without time to wear the shoes, the barefoot girl ran to Fu Shihan's room, snotting and tearing, holding his arms and refusing to let go, shaking with fright.

At that time, Fu Shihan was arrogant and cold-hearted to everyone, but treated this girl as his own sister, full of compassion and love.

Huo Yan didn't dare to go back to his room, Fu Shihan simply left her on his big bed. After sleeping with her, he took the blanket and went to the living room sofa for the night.

Before dawn the next morning, several cousins ​​and sisters in the family were picked up by him to stand in line. In front of Huo Yan, everyone had a cicada crawling on the bridge of their noses until they made her laugh.

Since then, cousins ​​have stopped bullying this stupid little sister, knowing that she is being taken care of by her eldest brother, and they dare not touch her again with their ten courage.

But it's true that everyone likes Huo Yan. She has a hearty and straightforward personality, and has no ambitions. It always feels easy to get along with her.

Therefore, not only Fu Shihan took care of Huo Yan, but also the young masters and ladies of the Fu family who took care of her, so Huo Yan was not bullied at all in the school.

More than ten years have passed since then.

"Blow the candle." Fu Shihan pushed Huo Yan's shoulder, interrupting her thoughts.

She blinked unclearly.

Fu Shihan pushed the cake in front of her and said softly, "Help me blow the candles."

"You are the birthday star, you should be the one who blows it." Huo Yan insisted: "How can someone else do it for you?"

"I'm an adult, and you are a little boy. Let me give you the opportunity." Fu Shihan said it for granted without shame.

Huo Yan raised his eyebrows: "Whatever I am a little boy..."

"Sister Huo Yan, eldest brother gave you the opportunity to make a wish. If you don't blow it, I will blow it." Tang Qianmo came over and said pretentiously: "Big brother has always been lucky. When I was young, fortune tellers said that eldest brother is Qiuren. A benevolent destiny son, the opportunity to make a wish on his birthday is rare in a lifetime. It is super efficacious. If you don’t want it, just give it to me!

Fu Shihan stretched out his white and slender fingertips, pushed away Tang Qianmo's face that had come close, his faint eyes turned towards Huo Yan, and said lightly: "Send you a wish."

"Is it so effective?"

Huo Yan was still a little skeptical, but seeing that the wax oil in front of her was about to burn out, she simply folded her hands on her chest, and made a pious wish--

"I hope I can get a scholarship this year!

Huo Yan puffed his cheeks and blew out all the candles.

"Wow, your wish is too wasteful to make it. With a scholarship, you might as well make a wish to buy a lottery ticket and win a prize of five million." Tang Qianmo seemed rather regretful.

Huo Yan curled his lips and said, "Winning a lottery is nothing but a mere illusion, not as good as a scholarship."

She turned her head inadvertently and ran into Fu Shihan's deep and distant eyes. He just stared at her like this for an unknown amount of time.

Huo Yan feels his cheeks are hot

Several brothers and sisters were clamoring for cake. Fu Shihan took a knife and fork and put the largest piece of cake with chocolate cream and fruit into Huo Yan's small plate, and they divided the rest.

Huo Yan's eyes brightened when she saw this piece of cake with fruit. She likes desserts the most. The feeling of sweetness spreading on the tip of her tongue is extremely happy.

Fu Shihan watched with satisfaction at her eating so much that her small mouth was all spent, holding a tissue, while wiping her mouth, but also disgusted: "It looks like a cat, really a little broken boy."

Huo Yan didn't bother to pay attention to him. After eating this sweet little cake happily, he smashed his mouth still intently.

...

Throughout the whole birthday process, Huo Sinan sat alone on the edge of the sofa, and everyone divided the cake. She did not participate. A sister in the family kindly handed over a piece of cake. She refused to say that she wanted to lose weight and not eat these sweet and greasy ones. food.

After eating the cake, everyone excitedly asked Fu Shihan to open the present. Fu Shihan didn't want to discourage the crowd. He simply sat at the table, picked up the nearest gift box and opened it.

The first gift was sent to the south, a sports watch that can measure heart rate and physical fitness.

Xiang Nan suggested that Fu Shihan should record the number of steps he walked, the calories he burned, and the quality of sleep every day to monitor his health.

Fu Shihan knows that he is a data controller, and no matter what he does, he is in order. The last time Fu Shihan borrowed his computer, he accidentally found an excel table called "Periodic Table of Excessive Energy Release-Xiangnan". His hands shaking the mouse. Tremble.

"I have added a new special function to this watch." Xiang Nan took the watch and wanted to show Fu Shihan seriously: "It just turns on when you are doing a special exercise, you can record your time count and physical energy consumption, and then Automatically generate forms..."

"Thank you." Fu Shihan patted Xiang Nan on the shoulder and interrupted him: "There are still a few children here. If you have anything to say before going back to school."

Huo Yan, who was regarded as a child, was playing this watch that Xiang Nan had remodeled in a funny way. He did not understand what the two people were talking about.

Xiang Nan also patted Fu Shihan on the shoulder, and said solemnly, "No thanks."

The gift Shen Yuran gave was a psp game console, and Xu Mingyi drew a safety symbol to Fu Shihan. He said that he had consecrated it by himself, and he chanted the Guanyin Heart Sutra to it all night, which would definitely bless Fu Shihan in peace.

Fu Shihan didn't know if he had consecrated him, but he did hear Xu Mingyi babbling mosquitoes all night last night.

Fu Shihan put the peace symbol into the bag and smiled faintly: "Thanks, second child."

Xu Mingyi: "Good is good."

Huo Si Nuan glanced at Xu Mingyi coldly, obviously dismissive of it. Tang Qinmo understood Huo Sinuan's expression and said in a low voice, "There is a saying that courtesy is light and affectionate, haven't you heard it."

"If I don't have money to give it away, I'd rather not give it away." Huo Sinan also said in a low voice: "I am not afraid of making jokes if I take this kind of thing out, and I will also lose money because of the cold."

Tang Qinmo squinted at her, "What a precious gift you have prepared."

A smile appeared on Huo Si Nuan's face, and he pushed his gift box to Fu Shihan: "Shihan, take a look, do you like it."

Fu Shihan caught a glimpse of the letters on the black gift box.

Although he rarely uses luxury goods, he also knows the grade of this brand. Huo Sinanxuan took out such an expensive gift after seeing Xu Mingyi's gift. The intention was actually obvious.

In comparison with the gifts of other people in the family, her gifts may not be so eye-catching, but Xu Mingyi's family is poor and can't bring out any particularly expensive gifts. In this contrast, Huo Sinan's gifts will be particularly prominent. .

The atmosphere at the scene was a bit subtle for a while, even Huo Yan could understand her sister's intentions.

Xu Mingyi's expression was faint, as if he was kind and compassionate to all sentient beings.

Under Huo Sinan’s expectant gaze, Fu Shihan pushed away her gift directly, looked at Huo Yan in front of him, and asked, “Where’s yours?”

Suddenly being named, Huo Yan is not clear, so: "What?"

"The gift you gave me."

Huo Yan looked at Huo Sinan, her face instantly sank, extremely ugly.

"Not prepared?"

"It's ready." Huo Yan was helpless, so he could only take out his gift, a small black gift box, and handed it to Fu Shihan.

Fu Shihan's thin lips pressed lightly, a faint smile was evoked, and his slender white fingertips skillfully opened the box, revealing a dark brown leather belt inside.

His expression was slightly surprised. He thought that Huo Yan would still be the same as in the past. He would either give him a watercolor painting or a hand-made gadget.

did not expect……

Huo Yan watched Fu Shihan's expression nervously, a thin layer of sweat formed on his palms, look at his serious expression, don't like it.

"Wow, the gift that Sister Huo Yan gave to her brother this year is very different from the past." Tang Qianmo yelled first, "Brother, don't call others a child anymore. Sister Huo Yan has grown up."

Fu Shihan's eyes were dark, and a elusive expression evoked at the end of those beautiful peach eyes, which seemed gentle and distressed.

His jade-like fingertips rubbed the smooth surface of the belt, and smiled lightly: "I've grown up."

With his smile, a stone in Huo Yan's heart finally fell, as long as he liked it.

Fu Shihan carefully reinstalled the box, then put it in front of him like a baby, and then went to open other gifts.

And Huo Sinan immediately said: "Shi Han, you haven't opened my gift yet."

Fu Shihan looked at her, then at her parents who were standing not far away, and finally opened Huo Sinuan's gift box with one hand.

Her gift is also a belt.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that whether it is texture or brand, this one far exceeds the one presented by Huo Yan.

Tang Qianmo pretended to "wow" in surprise, and said, "Sister Sinuan, you and Huo Yan are really sisters. You even give gifts, so your heart is eloquent."

"Yeah, I didn't expect it either."

Huo Sinuan looked at Huo Yan triumphantly, her mouth tightly closed, without saying a word.

Tang Qianmo said again: "Sister Sinuan, your belt must be very expensive, at least five figures!"

"It's okay, I think this brand is more worthy of the cold." Huo Si Nuan smiled meaningfully: "Boys, belts show good taste, how can you wear any miscellaneous brands on your body."

Compared with the same gift in this way, Huo Yan's belt is obviously dwarfed.

Hearing Tang Qinmo's words, Huo Yan's expression instantly turned pale. He looked at the belt and then at Huo Sinan, his hands clenched his fists involuntarily.

Not because of what Huo Sinan said, but...

She finally understood why her mother pawned the watch left by her grandma!

"I think this belt is very suitable for the temperament of the cold, what do you think." Huo Shinan asked the people around.

The big guy's face was different, Xu Mingyi's mouth twitched slightly, and he smiled without saying a word. Xiang Nan didn't speak, and Shen Yuran just smiled awkwardly.

Fu Shihan closed the box silently, his index and middle fingers pushed the box in front of Huo Si Nuan, and said lightly, "Thank you, but I can't accept it."

Huo Si Nuan's face collapsed instantly, and she asked in shock, "Why!"

Fu Shihan lowered his tight eyelashes and looked at Huo Simuan, his dark brown eyes were as cold as ice.

"It's too expensive to bear."

He raised the box in his hand expressionlessly: "Moreover, there is already a copy of the same gift."
