SFFCK (Complete)

Chapter 48

"You think too much." Xiang ChangKong raised his hand and rubbed Xiang Nuan's head.

Xiang Nuan looked up at him and asked: "Do you know what I wished for during my last birthday?"

"Didn't you tell me you weren't allowed to say it?"

Xiang Nuan smiled and said: "It already came true! My wish was for my brother to be able to do what he wants. I'm delighted that you can continue your studies."

Initially, Weng ShuLi's sudden disappearance worried her. She was scared that Xiang ChangKong's plans to take the postgraduate exams would be interrupted because of this. Unexpectedly, the situation ended with their mother finally speaking again.

"Mom's cooking dinner today. You have the great fortune of eating delicious food tonight." Xiang ChangKong told her.

Xiang Nuan smiled and whispered: "Let me tell you a secret: I think your cooking is better than Mom's!"

"Oooh, I want to tell Mom you said that. You might not even have anything to eat at noon." Xiang ChangKong chuckled.

"Hey! Why are you like this?" Her brother used to be such a pure boy!"

It must be due to the smelly lovestruck odor that he's emitting!

While Xiang ChangKong and Xiang Nuan were heading home, Xu Lian had already arrived. Standing at the door of Xiang ChangKong's home, Xu Lian looked down at her watch. It was 12:00 p.m. sharp.

After a while, Weng ShuLi, who was wearing the apron Xiang ChangKong usually used, opened the door.

This image was so different from their first meeting that Xu Lian couldn't get used to it for a while. Weng ShuLi was similarly surprised and failed to immediately react. Eventually, Weng ShuLi snapped out of her daze and remembered to greet her guest: "Xu Lian, come in, come in."

"Ah...." Xu Lian entered the house and realized that Weng ShuLi was at home alone. Weng ShuLi followed her into the living room and said: "Xiang Nuan's teacher asked Xiang ChangKong to go to her school today. They'll be back soon."

"What happened to Xiang Nuan at school?" Xu Lian asked.

"I don't know; the teacher didn't say anything on the phone. We'll know when they come back." After she finished saying this, the room descended into silence. Weng ShuLi stood in the living room with Xu Lian, feeling awkward. She eventually pointed to the sofa and said: "Sit down first. They should be here any minute now."

"Alright." Xu Lian sat down on the sofa and noticed some oranges on the tea table. She couldn't tell whether these oranges were the ones she bought last time, but at the sight of them, Xu Lian couldn't help but remember the time she accidentally hurt Weng ShuLi.

"Auntie, how's your hand?" Xu Lian asked her.

"It's fine, it was just a small wound." Weng ShuLi replied.

After this brief conversation, the living room was silent once more.

In the past, when Xu Lian visited to spend time with Weng ShuLi, this kind of silence had never been awkward.

In the past, the two of them would sit quietly together for an entire afternoon, but it had never been awkward. But now, it's only been a minute, and Weng ShuLi was already feeling nervous. She turned to Xu Lian and said: "I heard that Xiang ChangKong tried to break up with you....he, he definitely wasn't being sincere when he said this. I can plainly see that he likes you very much."
