"think!"

The little girl answered in a very loud voice, but the next second her voice became softer and she spoke in a low voice.

"I miss my second brother so much. When will he come back?"

The little girl held the phone and stared at it eagerly, as if she wanted to stare her second brother out of the phone.

Gu Bei listened to his sister's soft and tender voice and felt his heart soften as well. All the tiredness from the past few days disappeared.

"Yeah, I miss Nuan Nuan too. I will go back when things here are over. It will be no more than a month at the latest."

There is still a month left, but my brother’s birthday is only half a month away. Nuannuan’s little mouth curled down pitifully, but she couldn’t say anything yet.

"Oh, there's still a month left. Chinese New Year is almost here."

There was a pitiful tone in the little girl's voice.

Gu Bei heard it and asked in a gentle voice.

"You miss me so much. I will definitely come back to celebrate the New Year with you. What are you doing now, Nuannuan?"

The little girl's attention was successfully diverted, and she said in a baby voice that she was reading a book.

"What book are you reading?"

Nuan Nuan hummed——"I won't tell you."

There was a burst of laughter from the other side, and he didn't continue to ask questions, but turned to ask other questions.

Nuan Nuan was like a chatterbox, mumbling to her second brother about all the interesting things that happened recently. But as she was talking, she realized that there was no sound from the other side, but a long and even breathing sound came from her.

This is... falling asleep!

The child's delicate face was wrinkled, and his beautiful and clear eyes were full of heartache. His second brother must be very tired, but she didn't even hear it.

Nuan Nuan was very upset and worried that her second brother didn't cover himself with the quilt properly. The weather was very cold now. What if he caught a cold? She knew that a cold was very uncomfortable.

Nuannuan hung up the phone with her second brother and called his assistant instead.

"Brother Mu Qing, please go check if my second brother has covered himself with the quilt. He has fallen asleep."

The people on the other side were used to receiving calls from Nuan Nuan. Because most of the time they couldn't get through to Professor Gu, the little girl would call him and nag him to help look after her second brother, to make sure he ate, slept, and dressed properly, etc. She was so considerate.

The little guy's soft and tender voice doesn't make people feel impatient, but rather warms the heart.

Nowadays, who would be so nagging if they don't really care about you? There are many people in their research institute who often go ten days or half a month without anyone calling to show their concern.

Mu Qing agreed with a smile while going to see Gu Bei. As expected, Professor Gu lay down on the bed with his cell phone in his hand and his jacket on.

The assistant quickly turned up the heat in the room. Then he took off his coat and shoes, covered the bed with a blanket, and explained the situation to little Nuan Nuan. The little girl thanked him repeatedly in a soft and sweet voice, which sounded so sweet.

Mu Qing smacked his lips. Why didn’t he have such a sweet and nice sister?

After the matter with her second brother was settled, Nuan Nuan continued to flip through the book in front of her. There were many kinds of knitting methods in it. In addition to this, there were also knitting techniques for various small things. The little girl read with great interest.

After comparing several knitting techniques of wool, Nuannuan began to try it herself.

With the background of knitting sweaters and socks with her grandmother in Xiaoxi Village, she quickly got the hang of it.

After weaving it secretly for three days, she was a little dissatisfied with the first scarf, so she put it aside and continued weaving.

In the winter, apart from those who work, many people have nothing to do and most of them choose to stay at home with their cats. There are fewer people on the streets, so it seems normal for Nuannuan to forget to get into her little bed from time to time.

But in the eyes of others it is not so normal.

The little girl's abnormal behavior of returning to her room and locking the door every now and then in the past few days was of course discovered by her family members who were keeping an eye on her.

Mr. Gu was a little puzzled - "What is my daughter doing?"

Mother Gu smiled mysteriously, then went over and told her husband what Nuannuan was doing secretly.

After hearing this, Mr. Gu felt that his daughter was adorable, but at the same time he felt jealous.

"It's a pity that my birthday has already passed."

What a pity!

This is the first time my daughter has knitted a scarf by herself, but it’s not for her!

What should I do? I feel a little jealous of my son. Can he wait until his son’s birthday is over and then snatch the scarf from him?

As soon as Bai Anran saw his dishonest look, she knew what he was thinking and immediately rolled her eyes at him in annoyance.

"Can you be more ambitious? You are so shameless to be jealous of your own son all the time."

Gu's father said confidently: "That's the first time my daughter has knitted a scarf by herself. Don't you want it?"

Mother Gu——"..."You really want to, but you can't take your son's things away. Besides, you are old, how can you snatch away your young and strong son?

"By the way, don't tell anyone about this. Nuannuan wants to give the boss and the others a surprise."

Gu's father grumbled sourly: "I know, I know. It's a good deal for them."

On this Saturday, after Gu Dad and Gu Nan went to work, little Nuannuan quietly went into her room again.

But not long after I entered, there was a knock on the door.

The little girl immediately became like a frightened hamster and stuffed the scarf she was knitting into the storage box. She almost put Collier, who was playing with a ball of yarn, back into the box.

She quickly took the coal balls out, pushed the box under the bed and hid it, then reluctantly went to open the door.

But the door was only opened a little, and when she looked out from behind the slit, she saw her fourth brother, who was looking down at her with his arms folded.

"Hey, do you have a little secret?"

Gu Mingli raised his eyebrows and looked at a little girl with a joking expression.

Nuannuan rubbed her sock-clad feet on the furry carpet, feeling a little guilty, but she just kept grunting and didn't say anything.

Then the chubby little face was pinched.

Nuannuan——“…” This method is so familiar.

"Pot."

Nuannuan looked at her fourth brother with pitiful eyes.

"Why are you being so secretive? Tell Fourth Brother, okay?"

Warm and shake the little head.

"You really won't tell me? Do you not like Fourth Brother anymore?"

Nuannuan: Brother, you can’t wrongly accuse Nuannuan like this!

Shake your head rapidly.

"Okay, then I won't tell you, but you have to know that if you don't tell me, I will be in a bad mood, and if I am in a bad mood, I won't be able to sleep well. If I can't sleep well, I won't be able to eat well..."

Nuannuan's eyes widened. Is it so serious?

Gu Mingli tried hard to suppress the upward curling of his lips. This little guy was too gullible, and so naive that his thoughts were written all over his face.

"Yes, it is that serious."

Gu Mingli tried to nod seriously.

The little girl grabbed the door frame with a conflicted expression for a few seconds. Finally, she compromised, looked around furtively, and spoke in a low voice.

"Then... then Fourth Brother, come in, but don't tell Big Brother."

Gu Mingli raised his eyebrows. Is this matter related to Big Brother? Why is it so mysterious?

Then he followed Nuannuan in and watched the little guy lock the door. He also watched her lying on the carpet, sticking her little butt out, and grunting as she dragged a storage box out from under the bed.

When I opened it, I saw a half-finished scarf and some wool inside.

The semi-finished scarf is dark grey, woven tightly and beautifully, with a small smiley face woven with white yarn at the beginning, which looks cute. But it does not affect the integrity of the whole towel at all, it is very harmonious.

"What is this?"

Gu Mingli already had a rough guess in his mind.

Nuannuan took out the unfinished scarf. The scarf looked very soft, and the style was simple and pretty, just the style that her eldest brother liked.

And you can see that every detail is carefully woven.

Nuan Nuan——"This is a birthday gift for my big brother and my second brother."

Knowing it is one thing, but hearing the little girl say it herself made me feel sad.

"Oh, that's it."

He walked over and sat down, watching Nuannuan skillfully holding the needle in her little hands and starting to knit.

“When did you learn this?”

He fiddled with his scarf with his fingers, feeling a little resentful as his birthday was still several months away.

He also wanted a gift made by his sister.

"Nuan Nuan learned it from a book."

After saying that, she took out the book and handed it to Gu Mingli to read.

"Fourth brother, don't tell big brother to cheer for second brother, Nuannuan wants to give them a surprise."

"Second brother's too? Is he coming back?"

Thinking about what my second brother said, that it would take about a month to come back, I suddenly felt lost.

"No, but I can keep it for him and give it to him when he comes back."

Gu Mingli said with a "oh" and said nonchalantly, "Birthday presents are more interesting if they are given on the birthday. How about giving me the one from my second brother?"

Nuan Nuan groaned——"No."

The fourth brother just wanted to steal her scarf.

Gu Mingli clicked his tongue, realizing that it was not easy to deceive the little girl.

"So what are you going to give me for my birthday?"

The little girl glanced at him and said in a baby voice, "Fourth brother's birthday is still a long way off. Nuannuan doesn't know it now, and I won't tell you even if I think of it."

Gu Mingli pinched her cheeks - "Have you become more courageous?"

Nuannuan blinked her eyes. Of course one becomes braver as he gets older.

But she didn't dare to say it, and to be honest, she was still very scared.

Although he knew what Nuan Nuan was doing, Gu Mingli was not happy at all. Because his birthday was still a long way off, he would not be able to get a gift made by the little girl for the time being.

Watching her happily and seriously weaving each stitch, he felt jealous with every stitch.

The first successful scarf was successfully woven after four days. It was twice as long as her height, and there were two words woven neatly in small white wool at the end.

Gu Nan.

Nuannuan directly wove her elder brother's name onto the letter, and it looked even better than what she had written.

Holding the dark gray scarf, Nuannuan was extremely satisfied.

Gu Mingli became even more envious and jealous, and he wished he could take those two words and make them his own name.

Little Nuan Nuan carefully folded the scarf and put it in the box.

"Such a treasure."

A sour and resentful voice came from behind, and Nuannuan was so scared that her hair stood up.

"Fourth brother..."

Nuannuan looked at him dimly.

Gu Mingli coughed, put his arms behind his head and walked away.

Watching his leaving back, Nuannuan covered her mouth and laughed, and then continued to knit a scarf for her second brother.

The days of the hardworking little bee knitting scarves passed quickly, and the twin brothers' birthday arrived.

But as the hosts of today's birthday, the two parties didn't care at all. In the past, their birthdays were basically no different from usual ones, after all, they were so busy with work.

There were many times when Gu Bei was so busy that he couldn't even come back for his own birthday.

Nuannuan, however, kept this day in mind and started to get busy early in the morning.

After her older brother left, she went to the kitchen with her mother to bake a cake. For this purpose, her mother specially invited a famous pastry chef to teach the two little novices, Saya, who didn't know how to bake.

On the way to work, Gu Nan looked at his father expressionlessly.

"Dad, just tell me what you want to say."

Stop staring at him weirdly. He's had nightmares these past two days.

Gu Linmo retracted his gaze and snorted coldly - "It's okay!"

He said his daughter was very upset with him, and although he couldn't say it, he still felt very jealous.

They all spend their days eagerly counting the days until their birthdays.

"Ah...time passes so slowly."

Gu Nan, who wished he could divide the day into eight parts - "..." Did his father hit his head against the door?
