Chapter 224 The Taste of the Past
As soon as she got close, Feng Siyue smelled a faint scent of flour on Xuan Li, along with the fragrance of rose dew.
Did she just take a shower?
What were you doing?
After watching her sit down, Xuan Li couldn't wait to take the noodles out of the food box and place them in front of her, saying expectantly, "Try it, I think theirs is really delicious!"
"it is good."
Looking at the noodles on the table, Feng Siyue was a little stunned. "Four eggs? Ali, did you put the leftovers from your bowl in there?"
Ali doesn't like eggs, or rather, she doesn't like eating eggs from Huangyan Leizhou, saying they're too fishy.
"how is this possible?"
Xuan Li said subconsciously, then rested his chin on his hand, looking at her with bright eyes, "Don't worry about it, you can definitely finish it anyway!"
"Forehead......"
Feng Siyue was about to say that she couldn't finish it, but looking into the other person's shining eyes, she swallowed the words.
"I try my best."
She picked up her chopsticks, took a noodle, and put it in her mouth.
The noodles weren't very chewy, and although they had a bit of chicken broth, they weren't very flavorful.
The taste is average.
Has Ali's taste changed?
As she ate, Feng Siyue gradually realized something was wrong.
There seems to be only one strand on this side.
One?
Is it a newly discovered feature?
Just then, Xuan Li's words suddenly rang in her ears, "Happy birthday, Feng Siyue."
Feng Siyue paused in her eating of noodles.
She froze for a moment.
birthday……
She realized it in an instant.
This is longevity noodles.
Her eyes suddenly filled with tears uncontrollably.
Longevity noodles had almost disappeared from her memory.
Even when she herself was about to forget, Ali remembered.
This was the second person who remembered her birthday and made longevity noodles for her.
She hadn't eaten it since her grandfather passed away.
That was a taste from a very distant past.
Feng Siyue's eyelids drooped halfway, her thoughts uncontrollably drifting back to the past.
When I was little, my grandfather always said that we should eat longevity noodles on our birthdays, wishing the recipient a happy and fulfilling life and a long and healthy life.
But Grandpa only made longevity noodles for her three times.
This is the fourth time.
Ali made longevity noodles.
She hadn't expected that Ali would remember her birthday.
This feeling of being remembered...
It brings happiness, and it's also addictive.
Xuan Li noticed her reddened eyes and the tears welling up, and finally realized something. He hurriedly said, "Don't cry. I know you're very touched, but you can't cry on your birthday. You'll cry away your good fortune!"
Seeing her eyes were red, Xuan Li became a little anxious and quickly changed the subject, "Let me tell you, other people add two eggs to their birthday celebration, which symbolizes a long life. I'll add four for you, and I guarantee you'll live to be ten thousand years old!"
Feng Siyue was somewhat amused and exasperated. "Ten thousand years?"
"Yes, yes!"
Xuan Li brought up Feng Rou, "Didn't Feng Rou say we wouldn't live past two years? If you eat this bowl of noodles, the curse definitely won't take effect!"
"Eat quickly, the noodles can't stop!"
"It won't work if it's disconnected!"
She had been busy all day, so the person eating noodles also needed to concentrate.
"Okay, I'll eat."
At this moment, Feng Siyue's voice was very gentle.
She sniffed and ate her food bite by bite with a smile. Even the four eggs, which she couldn't finish, she ate bite by bite.
This is noodles made by Ali.
Seeing that her mood had improved slightly, Xuan Li added, "Oh, right, I have another gift for you."
"what?"
You finish eating first!
Feng Siyue really finished the soup completely, then put down her chopsticks and bowl.
Seeing this, Xuan Li took out the gift box from the ring.
"open to take a look."
Feng Siyue opened the box and found a dress, its fabric soft and silky. In the corner of the gift box were some spirit stones, which glittered in the dim light of the night.
very nice.
Xuan Li urged him hurriedly.
"Try it quickly!"
"it is good."
When she came out again, the entire sand cave seemed to be illuminated.
The girl wore a white, fitted long dress that gradually turned blue from the waist down, like a blue rosebud about to bloom, clinging to a white cloud.
She clasped her hands together over her abdomen, her wide sleeves cascading down her front. Upon closer inspection, one could see shimmering light flowing around her shoulders, and fine mist gathering at the hem of her skirt as she walked.
It resembles clouds, birds, and flowers.
The girl seemed to have descended from the stars, unlike any ordinary person.
Xuan Li looked at it and suddenly nodded his chin.
This outfit is beautiful, but I feel like something's missing.
what is it then?
Xuan Li's gaze slowly fell on Feng Siyue's hair.
She stood up, walked quickly towards Feng Siyue, and pulled her to the dressing mirror. She said in a serious tone, "Your hair can't be like this, it's a bit haphazard."
She took out her jewelry box, rummaged through it for a while, and took out a few hairpins.
She clapped her hands, ready to make a big splash.
Feng Siyue was a little worried, "Ali, don't you know how to do your hair?"
At this moment, Xuan Li suddenly became confident, "This young lady is skillful and dexterous. I will just go by my gut feeling to decide what looks good, and I'm sure I won't mess it up!"
Feng Siyue: "......."
She was a little skeptical.
Oh well, as long as Ali is happy.
Xuan Li might have been a little clumsy at first, and would sometimes accidentally tug at Tong Feng Si Yue's scalp, but as time went on, her hands became more and more dexterous.
Xuan Li circled the hair above Feng Siyue's ears, then used a hairpin to pick out some strands and let them fall down her chest.
She then went back around, flipped her left hand, and twisted the looped strands of hair into a crescent shape, securing them with a light blue crescent-shaped hair comb from her jewelry.
