Meteor Book Bar, in the lobby on the first floor.

Liu Xing and Wang Lanlan were sitting in a pile of gift boxes, unpacking gifts together. There are a total of 46 gift boxes, all of which were given by booksellers who came to congratulate today.

"Liu Xing, this gift box is so big, take it apart and take a look!" Wang Lanlan held a round red gift box with both hands, and the box was about one meter long.

"What is it?" Liu Xing tore open the outer packaging of the gift box, only to see a blue round cushion inside.

"This is a special cushion for readers!" Wang Lanlan glanced at it twice, recognized it, and introduced, "When reading novels, don't you have to sit cross-legged, this kind of cushion is designed for readers." It is made of high-grade slimming sponge, embedded with snow heart orchid, which is very comfortable to sit on, can adjust the temperature, release aroma, and repel mosquitoes. ”

"So amazing?" Liu Xing put the round cushion on the floor and sat on it, soft, and after a while, a thin floral fragrance diffused from the cushion, lingering around, making people involuntarily produce a sense of immersion, as if entering a fragrant world.

This floral fragrance comes from a famous flower in Huaxia, called Snow Heart Orchid, which has the effect of refreshing and refreshing the mind, and helps the reader to maintain a good mental state. Because Snow Heart Orchid grows in the snow-capped mountains, it is difficult to collect, the quantity is scarce, and the price is relatively high.

This Xue Xinlan cushion looks ordinary, but the price is thousands of yuan.

"Liu Xing, this gift box is so beautiful, there must be good things in it. At this time, Wang Lanlan picked up a square white gift box again,

Liu Xing took the square gift box and neatly unpacked it, only to see that it contained a chessboard, in addition, there were hundreds of black and white chess pieces.

"It's just a fictional chess piece. ”

"This is not an ordinary novel chess, it is a novel chess made by Linglong jade, which is very precious, and a pair costs more than 5,000 yuan!"

"So expensive?"

"Hmm. My grandfather had a pair and bought it for 5,200 yuan. ”

Looking at the novel chess in his hand, Liu Xing was a little surprised, he couldn't imagine that someone would give him such an expensive gift. He casually opened two gifts, both of which cost thousands of yuan, and these dozens of gift boxes all add up, which is also a lot of income.

"Wang Lanlan, I have a difficult task entrusted to you. ”

"What?"

"I'm going back to my room to read a novel, and you can help me open these gift boxes. ”

"Okay, but you can't let me do it for nothing. ”

"You can pick one of these gifts as a reward. ”

"I'm good at choosing novels, hehe. ”

"Remember to open every gift box. ”

"Got it. ”

After explaining, Liu Xing went upstairs alone, and Wang Lanlan sat on the cushion and began to open the gift box. She is very slow to open gift boxes, and every time she takes out a gift, she has to play with it for a long time.

In the next three hours, Wang Lanlan successively found more than 40 gifts such as famous clocks, jade, thinking cubes, eye protection lamps, and star novels from the gift box.

"Huh?"

At this time, Wang Lanlan saw that there was a round pink gift box on the table, the size of a basin, she weighed it with her hand a few times, and found that it was quite heavy.

"What is this?"

Wang Lanlan curiously opened the package, and it was actually a round cake inside!

"Why did someone send a cake?"

Wang Lanlan felt strange, today is the opening of the bookstore, someone actually took the cake as a gift, without thinking too much, she carefully opened the cake, and a snow-white birthday cake appeared in front of her.

I saw that on the top of the birthday cake, six words were outlined with pink cream - Lan Lan, happy birthday!

Wang Lanlan thought that she was hallucinating, her little hand rubbed her eyes, looked again, and found that the words "Lanlan, happy birthday" were really written on the cake.

Her eyes rolled, and Wang Lanlan remembered: Today is my birthday? It seems real, I almost forgot it......

Just thinking about it, at this time, singing suddenly sounded around, and a group of people sang "Happy Birthday Song" in unison, Wang Lanlan took a closer look and found that Liu Shiming, Lu Yuxin, Xiaomei and other more than a dozen beauties were surrounding her from all directions.

"Lanlan, happy birthday. ”

"Sister Ming, how do you know it's my birthday?"

"Ah Xing told me that he bought this birthday cake. ”

"Liu Xing?"

Wang Lanlan scratched her head with her little hand, looking puzzled: Strange, how could Liu Xing know my birthday?

After thinking about it, Liu Shiming had already lit seventeen candles on the cake, and said with a smile: "Lan Lan, come here, hurry up and blow out the birthday candles." ”

"Uh-huh. ”

"Remember to make a wish. ”

"Hmm. ”

Seventeen candles flickered, standing in front of the birthday cake, Wang Lanlan closed her eyes and silently made a wish in her heart: I wish my grandfather good health forever! I wish Liu Xing's book bar a prosperous business! I wish Sister Ming and Sister Xin grow longer and more beautiful...... By the way, I wish I could see the Dark Shadow Man again, hehe!

After making a wish and blowing out the birthday candles, Wang Lanlan began to eat birthday cakes with everyone, and Liu Shiming and Lu Yuxin held a small birthday party for her in the book bar.

At the party, everyone talked and laughed, and they were happy. In everyone's blessings and joy, Wang Lanlan spent her seventeenth birthday.

At about eleven o'clock in the evening, the party ended, and Wang Lanlan returned to the room on the second floor of the book bar to rest. When she passed by the door of Liu Xing's room, she wanted to say thank you to Liu Xing in person, but until now, she didn't know why Liu Xing asked her to help open the gift box in the afternoon.

It's just that it's getting late, and Wang Lanlan thinks that Liu Xing should be asleep, so she decides not to wake him up.

When she returned to her room, Wang Lanlan was still very excited and couldn't sleep at all, so she ran to the window of the room, sat on the windowsill, and stared at the night sky alone.

As the night wore on, the novel street was silent.

Sou!

Suddenly, a black shadow appeared on the street in front of him, rushing in this direction like black lightning!

"Shadow Man!"

Wang Lanlan's pretty face was overjoyed, and she shouted excitedly, "Black Shadow Man, is that you?"

As soon as she finished shouting, the black shadow man stopped, looked up, flashed, flew up from the ground, ran more than ten meters in the air, and after a long trajectory in the air, he fell to a big tree opposite the window, opposite Wang Lanlan in the air.

"Wow!"

Wang Lanlan's big eyes showed surprise, "Black Shadow Man, you really know how to fly!" and looked around, "Is there really no hanging wire?"

"Are you looking for me?" asked Liu Xing, in order to prevent his identity from being revealed, he used the technique of vocalization, turning into the voice of a middle-aged uncle.

"Hey, Black Shadow Man, you are finally willing to speak!" Wang Lanlan was so close to the Black Shadow Man for the first time, and her chest couldn't help but bump into the deer, "Black Shadow Man, I'm working on a novel about you, can I ask you a few questions?"

Say. ”

"What color do you like?"

"......" Can you ask some questions with connotation, Liu Xing replied, "Blue." ”

"What kind of food do you like?"

"Grilled chicken wings. ”

"Why are you flying?"

"No comment. ”

"What's your name?"

"No comment. ”

"What's your home phone number?"

"No comment. ”

"What's your phone number next door?"

“……”

"Well, don't ask you personally*. Wang Lanlan thought for a while, "What is your dream?"

"Maintain world peace. ”

"Wow, your ideals are so ambitious!" Wang Lanlan asked curiously, "Do you often go out at night to do chivalrous deeds, punish adultery and eliminate evil?"

"Occasionally. ”

"Do you have a holiday off?"

"No, it won't. ”

"Did someone pay you?"

"Nope. ”

"What is your source of income?"

"No comment. ”

……

In this way, Wang Lanlan asked questions one by one, and in less than 20 minutes, more than 100 questions were asked.

"Shadow Man, I put you in a new book, will you mind?"

"No, it won't. ”

"Will you read my new book when it comes out?"

"Yes. ”

"Really?" Wang Lanlan's eyes lit up slightly, "Then after my new book is released, will I give you a copy?"

"You'll pick it up yourself. Liu Xingdao, "You've asked 119 questions, can I go?"

"Are you in a hurry?"

"Yes. ”

"Okay, then I'll ask one last question. Wang Lanlan rolled her eyes and asked, "Can I see you again?"

"Yes, if you don't ask so many questions. ”

"Hahaha, well, I'm asking too much tonight, but I'm really glad you had an exclusive interview with me. Wang Lanlan said seriously, "Black Shadow Man, you remember to stick to your dreams, I believe you will definitely become a great character!"

"Of course. Liu Xing said, "You should also work hard, I am waiting for your new book." ”

"Well, I will!"

"I'm leaving. ”

"Bye-bye ......"

Before Wang Lanlan's words were finished, Liu Xing's body had turned into a black shadow, swept away like a black hurricane, and in the blink of an eye, he was already a hundred meters away, and when the leaves on the branches were still swaying, his figure had already disappeared into the hazy night......

"That's amazing!"

When Liu Xing completely disappeared from view, Wang Lanlan's mood still couldn't calm down for a long time, she couldn't imagine that the birthday wish she made today actually came true, she really saw the black shadow man.

And I talked to him for so long!

It was the best birthday present she ever received.

"I'm so happy today, I've earned it, hehe!"

With great joy, Wang Lanlan jumped on the bed, lay down, and began to have her first dream at the age of seventeen......
