Shihara's words flashed into Huang Se's brain like thunder, and he seemed to be a little unable to react, blinking his eyes and looking in a trance.

"What do you mean?"

Ziyuan chewed on the sweet pocky, and his voice was still so lazy: "Do you want to know what happened to Ai-chan." ”

Huang Se swallowed his saliva a little nervously, he glanced at Beichuan, and then moved his gaze back to Ziyuan: "Little Ziyuan, are you willing to sue me?" ”

Atsushi Shihara puffed out his cheeks and turned his head to look ahead coldly: "I don't want to." ”

Huang Se sighed helplessly, he grabbed his hair in distress, in fact, even if Ziyuan was willing to say it, he didn't want to hear it. What happened to Ai Kitagawa, if she is willing to sue him, then he is naturally willing to be an ordinary listener. The meaning conveyed by the oral statement of outsiders may be slightly different from what I sued others, and he is willing to respect Beichuan's **.

And he is also confident that one day Xiao Beichuan will take the initiative to sue him!

Tezuka Kunishin has the last dessert left in the birthday dinner prepared for Ai Kitagawa, and he invites Kitagawa's classmates to play the game that has been prepared for a long time, and Ai Kitagawa pulls him directly to the kitchen and tells him that she will come to entertain everyone.

For a while, Tezuka Kunishin felt that her daughter seemed to have grown up.

As soon as he heard that there was a King of Fighters game, Ziyuan didn't remember to eat it. He grabbed one with Ashaki, who had been salivating over the gamepad placed in front of the TV, and sat cross-legged on the stall and began to fight.

Aomine and Kuroko, who didn't grab it, gathered around in frustration and negotiated with Shishihara Ashaki who was playing, and the loser was replaced, and the winner continued.

Akaji was clearly interested in a bookshelf in the hall, and although it looked like an ordinary ornament, he clearly found it interesting when he flipped through a book, and Midorima accompanied him.

Momoi and Nozomi Echigo sit on the couch, holding magazines and discussing the new spring and summer fashions above, and have already decided to go shopping together in Ginza next time.

Huang Se was also sitting next to Ziyuan, but he didn't dare to be interested in this game, and after a few glances, he ran to search for the photo frames placed around the living room, and he was curious about Beichuan who smiled innocently when he was a child, and when he saw those little Beichuan who were still wearing diapers, he couldn't wait to take the child out of the photo and kiss it and nibble on it.

"Why do you keep staring at my pictures?" Kitagawa Ai, who noticed that Huang Se was wandering around, leaned over and asked.

Huang Se covered his cheeks with his hands, looked at the photo with watery eyes and sighed: "It's so cute, little Beichuan is really, my heart is going to break when I'm cute." ”

This stupid and strange appearance made Beichuan a little speechless, and she reached out to cover the erected photo: "Don't show this expression, your current appearance makes me want to call the police." ”

"Xiao Beichuan, why are you like this, I just thought you were cute when you were a child!" Huang Se wanted to reach out and turn the photo frame back, but he was too embarrassed to touch Beichuan's hand, and he was suddenly a little at a loss.

Kitagawa Ai smiled, revealing her white and straight teeth: "Am I not cute now?" ”

Huang Se was stunned for a moment, and then crossed his fingers and muttered bluntly: "Although it's also cute, sometimes it's really scary." ”

Beichuan Ai reluctantly withdrew her smile, stretched out her finger and hooked Huang Se: "I have something to tell you." ”

Huang Se immediately came over, and an extra hand pinched his face on his face: "What the truth!" ”

"QAQ: I'm sorry!"

Tezuka's birthday dinner was finally ready, and he and Kitagawa beckoned everyone to sit around the table, and eleven people had to be almost shoulder-to-shoulder to touch the table.

Whether it's a main dish, a side dish or a dessert, they all have an enticing aroma.

Atsushi Shihara had already been holding the bowl in one hand and the chopsticks in the other, exuding a terrifying aura of 'death to the one who stands in his way', if it weren't for Akaji beside him, maybe he would have chosen to knock everyone present unconscious and swallow it himself.

It's not without reason. Because today's staple food is actually the cake in the middle, and there are not many delicate dishes, and one person can definitely sweep the plate clean with a chopstick. So even if the table is covered with plates, Ziyuan, who knows the appetite of his teammates, can't help but worry about whether he won't be able to grab what he wants to eat.

Tezuka Kunishin, who was sitting next to Ai Kitagawa smiled, "Let's light the candle first, I can't wait to see you make a wish." ”

Huang Se said suspiciously: "Don't you sing the birthday song first?" ”

Before everyone could say yes, Beichuan Ai took the lead in shaking his head and refusing: "No need, no need, how old I am and I still sing birthday songs, and I am not a child." ”

"But Ai-chan, you're not a big kid, at least you're far from 16 years old." Shihara, who secretly stuffed a sushi into his mouth, muttered.

"Since Tundu said so, why don't you just?" Tezuka Kunika also felt that Ziyuan's words were very right, and in the eyes of his father, no matter how old the child was, he was also their child.

Huang Se said: "Yes, yes, if you have a birthday, a birthday song is a must, isn't it? ”

"Then let's sing it together, to celebrate the first birthday with Kitagawa." Akaji agreed, and he watched as Tezuka Kunishin lit the candle on the cake and consciously turned off the lights in the hall.

In an instant, the whole living room was left with a flickering light from the fire source above the fourteen candles, shining on everyone's faces, with a sense of beauty that flickered and flickered.

Kitagawa Ai was speechless, at first she really felt that the birthday song was unnecessary, but when everyone proposed to echo it, she unconsciously had a kind of expectation and shyness.

"Yo Si! Shall I take the lead? ”

Huang Se Ti yì Road, who has been mixing karaoke all year round.

Nozomi Echigo, who was sitting opposite him, pursed her lips and spoke: "Let's go with me too, I used to take the lead in singing Xiaoai's birthday songs!" ”

Huang Se was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Wow." ”

"HappyBirthdayToYou, one, two, three~Qi!"

"HappyBirthdayToYou, HappyBirthdayToYou, HappyBirthdayToLove, HappyBirthdayToYou~"

In fact, the birthday song is very short, and the melody ends in a few breaths, but Kase and Echigo keep singing it as if they had made an appointment.

Everyone's harmony is not perfect, and everyone's tone is mixed in but there is a touching atmosphere.

Ai Kitagawa swept her gaze over everyone's faces, she felt that her eyes were a little sour, so she could only close her eyes wolfly, clasp her hands in front of her chest, silently make a wish in her heart, and then blew out the candle in the applause.

"Woooooooooooo Happy Birthday Little Love!! ”

"Love sauce is fast."

"Congratulations on being a year older."

After the chandelier in the living room was turned on, everyone ran over to hug and bless Xiao Ai, and the smile couldn't fall from their faces.

Tezuka Kunishin cut the cake and distributed it to the plate in front of everyone, and dinner officially began.

Sitting on the other side of Beichuan Ai, Midorima's face was also a little gentle, perhaps because of today's special day, his voice was not as cold as usual: "What wish did you make?" ”

Kitagawa Ai picked up a strawberry and stuffed it into his mouth, winked his eyes and said mischievously: "I hope that Diguang can defend the championship this year." ”

When Aomine heard this, he said confidently, "Isn't that for sure? Kitagawa, you wasted the opportunity to make a wish. ”

"I guess that's not what Xiao Ai Xu is." The plate in front of Atsushi Shihara was filled with food, many of which Tezuka Kunishin took the initiative to clip to him.

"Anyway, if you ask me, that's what my answer is." Ai Kitagawa shrugged her shoulders and smiled slyly.

After all, he is a member of the basketball team, and everything he talks about at the dinner table is basketball-related. Although Tezuka Kunishin didn't know much about this, when he saw Kitagawa Ai's radiant face when he talked about this, he also listened carefully with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

From everyone's words, it is clear that they have the chance to win this year's championship.

After eating and clearing the desserts and snacks on the table, Kitagawa and Midorima wanted to go into the kitchen to help clean up the tails, but they were invited out by Kunishin Tezuka, who smiled gently.

"Maybe you'd like to take this time to unpack your gifts?" He said.

Everyone in the living room had actually been eavesdropping with their ears pricked up, and when they heard Ai Kitagawa's father mention this, everyone's faces were a little curious and uncomfortable.

Curious about what your teammates are giving, and don't feel comfortable with your own gifts.

The first thing to open was the gift of Midorima, and the huge box was wrapped in green colored paper, and Kitagawa weighed the weight a little before he started to open it.

Midorima delivered a bunch of tonics and health food.

Seeing Kitagawa Ai's sweeping gaze, Midorima calmly pushed the frame: "My father said that this age has begun to develop, and I have recently felt that you seem to be growing taller, and these things are the most suitable for you." ”

Kitagawa raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Thank you, Shintaro." ”

Midorima awkwardly looked away, but accidentally revealed the tips of her reddened ears.

Shihara sent a large bag of dessert ingredients, and a piece of paper was placed in it, saying, 'Use these to make me more desserts!' Beichuan couldn't cry or laugh when he saw it. Akaji's gift is a book on the tactical layout of basketball, bilingual in Japanese and English, which is obviously also useful; Kuroko sent a pot of cactus, and the chubby one was very cute; Ashizaki's gift is a model of Harley, and apparently he is simply giving gifts based on his hobbies. Momoi sent a red bow, and the color was very close to Kitagawa's eyes.

There are still two gifts left unopened, one of Kase and one of Echigo.

Ai Kitagawa hesitated for a moment, and first opened the gift box given by Nozomi Echigo.

A rectangular item was placed in a plush gift box, and a bright surprise flashed across Ai Kitagawa's face, and she clenched her fist, took it out, and opened it.

This is a Japanese Japanese fan, the pale pink fan surface is combined with silk and gauze mantle, the fan bone is obviously cut from bamboo, the fan is a butterfly flying flower dance pattern, each bamboo fan core is carved with a hollow process, it looks beautiful and unrealistic.

Ai Kitagawa repeatedly opened, closed, opened, and closed again.

She wasn't even in the mood to pay attention to what's in the rest of the gift box at the moment, just reddened at the strange and familiar folding fan.

When she used to be a coach, she had a habit of carrying a folding fan with her. The folding fan was an anonymous gift for her 20th birthday, she didn't know who sent it to her, and she didn't know how the other party knew her address, but after receiving the gift, the fan followed her for a long time.

It turns out that this was prepared by Nozomi Echigo?

Her mind kept asking why.

Ai Kitagawa turned her head sharply and stepped forward to grab Nozomi Echigo's hand, her smooth fingertips had a few new scars remaining, apparently razed by a blade. She squeezed Nozomi Echigo's hand to prevent her from taking it back, stared into her eyes and asked, "You made this with your own hands?" ”

Nozomi Echigo didn't understand why Ai Kitagawa reacted so much, but she still nodded: "Yes." ”

"Why do you do this?"

Echigo was silent for a moment, and suddenly laughed, but this smile was a little cold and sad.

"Do you remember?"

She said.

"On the night of your 10th birthday, you told me that I saw that the folding fan made by the protagonist in the TV series was very beautiful, and I wanted to buy one, but I couldn't find a store to sell it, so I said at the time, when I learned it, I will make one for you."

Kitagawa Ai was stunned, she slowly let go of Echigo's hand, and lowered her head to recall. For everyone, 10 years old was only a few years ago, but for her, it was more than ten years ago, and she had no impression at all.

"I'm sorry."

Kitagawa loves to apologize, but she doesn't know what she is apologizing.

Because she didn't understand, if this fan was really made by Nozomi Echigo herself, then why did she send her this birthday gift after they broke up? They obviously hate each other, don't they?

"I don't mind if I apologize." Nozomi Echigo burst out laughing, and she took the initiative to step forward, put her arms around Ai Kitagawa's neck, and buried her head in her neck. Said softly, "I said, I like you, you're my best friend, aren't you?" ”
