Chapter 18: Celebrating a Birthday
Chen Siye said secretly, who did you hear that I have too many ghost ideas? It's all a serious idea, okay? After thinking about it, she said, "Why don't you hide the gift, put out the candle at dinner, and then quietly take out the gift, and when she lights the candle, she will be pleasantly surprised." "It's a common routine, but how to extinguish the candle in the lampshade is a problem here.
However, it is not a problem to have Qiu Ju here, Qiu Ju listened to it and said: "Good idea, this matter is simple, leave it to me." The women agreed.
Chen Siye hurriedly went downstairs to roll up the picture and hide it in his arms, and went upstairs with the cake, all the girls were very surprised to see it, I don't know what it was, Chen Siye explained: "This is called a cake, but it is delicious, remember to eat less later." "The cake is not big, eight people share it, and it is only one piece per person. As soon as he hid the cake, he heard footsteps on the stairs, and everyone sat down busily, pretending to laugh.
Seeing Cuiyun and Xiaochan carrying the food box upstairs, Chen Siye and Qiu Ju hurriedly stood up to help, and Qiu Ju also took the opportunity to lean into Xiaochan's ear and whispered the idea just now.
Several people divided the meal, sat down and began to eat, halfway through the meal, and did not see Qiu Ju move, so he signaled Qiu Ju with his eyes, Qiu Ju understood, flicked his fingers, and saw that the lamp was extinguished, everyone knew it, and they were silent, only Qiu Ju was in the dark, and whispered: "Why did the light go out?" So he got up and went to light the lamp.
Chen Siye secretly took out the birthday cake and put it on the table, took out the painting again, waited for Cuiyun to light the lamp, made eye contact with the women, and said in unison: "Cuiyun, birthday Jile!" ”
Cuiyun couldn't believe it, looked at everyone in surprise, tears flowed out, and she couldn't cry, "I... I thought .. Everyone.. Thank you.."
The Ming family, who was close, and Xiao Tao got up and pulled Cuiyun to the table and asked her to sit down, Xiao Tao said, "Silly girl, how can we forget?" My young lady also remembers it. ”
As he spoke, he took out two boxes, opened them with a hairpin and a silver bracelet, and stuffed them into Cuiyun with a smile: "This jasper chan phoenix hairpin was given to you by Miss, and the bracelet I gave you was chosen by myself." Cuiyun said thank you, Sister Le Xuan, thank you Xiao Tao.
Ming took out a dagger with intricate patterns and said, "This is what I went out to find this time, and I will give it to you for self-defense." Cuiyun said thank you Sister Ming again. Chen Siye smiled secretly and really opened his eyes, giving a dagger as a birthday gift. I heard everyone say, "Sisters, take out all the gifts, don't let Cuiyun thank you all the time." ”
All the women laughed and took out their gifts. Su Jiajia is a set of hand-sewn clothes, Lin Dajia is a word, it is a Tibetan poem with Cuiyun's name written by her, Qiu Ju sent a box of rouge, and Xiaochan is a sachet embroidered by herself.
After the women were sent, only Chen Siye was left, everyone looked at him, stared at by a bunch of beauties, Chen Siye was secretly happy, and then it was the moment to witness the miracle, pointing to the cake on the table and saying, "I have two gifts, one is the cake on the table." As he spoke, he opened the painting in his hand, "The other is the painting I made from memory." ”
When all the women saw this painting, they all exclaimed in amazement, and repeatedly praised its skills, but Chen Siye felt a discordant gaze, and followed the gaze to see that Xiao Tao was pouting and glaring at him, and said that he probably offended Xiao Tao, so he hurriedly rolled up the painting and handed it to Cuiyun, who accepted it with a red face. I was relieved when I heard the system prompt in my brain that I was successful.
Lin was dissatisfied: "Why did you put it away before you looked carefully." Chen Siye sneered: "Look at it after dinner, watch it after dinner." Let's try the cake I made first. ”
stood up and divided the cake into eight pieces, each of them divided a piece, and deliberately gave Xiao Tao a slightly larger one, but Xiao Tao obviously didn't appreciate it and didn't look at him.
A few people and Xiao Tao didn't take this cake seriously, although they felt that it looked strange but they didn't have any hope that it was delicious, they all tasted it lightly, and then this taste suddenly couldn't stop, and they were even more embarrassed by their mouths.
Everyone looked at Chen Siye with wide eyes and said, "How is this done?" I'm going to eat it every day from now on! As soon as all the women looked at him expectantly, Chen Siye said in his heart that wouldn't it be exhausting me, so he said: "When I was a child, the master only made it for me on my birthday, so this cake can only be eaten on my birthday, and it is too sweet and greasy, and it is easy to gain weight if you eat too much." ”
Hearing this, although everyone was unhappy, they didn't dare to say that they had to eat every day. After everyone finished eating the cake, everyone Su smiled and said: "I really picked up a treasure in Mingyue Building, if it wasn't for Cuiyun's birthday, I wouldn't have known that Xiao Yezi was so outstanding." ”
Everyone Lin also nodded and said: "The calligraphy and painting are unique, admire." ”
Xiaochan rarely opened her mouth and continued: "I can also tell jokes." ”
Cuiyun also said: "I like Xiao Yezi's two gifts very much. ”
When the girls heard this, they were not happy: "Don't you like me?" "Why do you just say that you like small leaves?" "Do you like Xiaoyezi?"
This joke made Cuiyun's face flush with shame.
Qiu Ju looked at Chen Siye with a smug face, and said, "Don't be complacent, don't want to be lazy and work less." ”
Xiao Tao also fell into the well and said: "That's it!" ”
Everyone sat and chatted for a while, and Xiao Tao got up and said, "I should go, the carriage should have arrived." Chen Siye hurriedly got up and said, "Sister Peach, I'll send you." Xiao Tao glanced at him and didn't speak.
When he went downstairs, he leaned in and said with a smile: "Sister Peach, don't be angry, I'll paint you as many paintings as you want, don't blame me." But Xiao Tao ignored him, he had to be ruthless and said: "Sister Xiao Tao wants to eat cake, just tell me, I'll make it for you." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Tao snorted: "This is what you said, if you lie to me again, you can't be spared." ”
Chen Siye said again and again, I didn't dare to dare. When I went out, the carriage was outside the door, and I sent Xiao Tao into the car, and then I returned to the third floor. But this time I'm not here to chat, I'm here to clean up the mess and prepare to wash the dishes.
After agreeing to Lin and everyone to take the time to study the painting together, it seemed that everyone was going to say something to him, Chen Siye ran downstairs under the pretext of having a stomachache and ran downstairs, although the beautiful women here called him very enjoyable, but it was impossible to think about the beauties without touching the leaves.
Silently calculated, now I owe Le Xuan a painting, I owe Xiao Tao a few paintings and a few cakes, I owe Qiu Ju a painting, and Lin everyone must also paint when they study paintings, and they are also counted as one. Although painting is also a very happy thing, I can get the opportunity to be alone, and maybe even take advantage of it, but except for Le Xuan, I can't paint anyone first. It's really a living Shura field.
After finishing all the work at night, it was almost ten o'clock, Chen Siye was tired again and doubted his life, and after returning to the house after a set of colorful sunshine, he lay down on the bed exhausted, checked his point balance, ten points, and could exchange things again.
However, he decided that he would not exchange anything if he didn't need it urgently, and that he would save up 200 points to exchange the sword art he had been thinking about for a long time.
The picture of flying in the sky with Zhongmei Edgeworth in my heart, the system suddenly sounded, "Ding, secondary mission, Mingyue is an apprentice, and completing the apprenticeship in one day is a success." Ten points will be awarded for success, and ten points will be deducted for failure. ”
Bright Moon? Who is it? Chen Siye was a little puzzled, and suddenly thought, could it be... Ming, everyone, right?
Chen Siye was a little dumbfounded, accepting everyone as apprentices? How is this possible? Although everyone showed some interest in him today, it should just be that she was interested in the Dao, how could she know what the Dao? It's all just bragging. Colorful sunshine? So the shameful gymnastics can be done by yourself, and teach it to everyone in Ming? Neurotic! People don't want to lose face.
And he's just a junior who does chores, although he is talented, he is also a junior second, and he is considered a talented junior who does chores.
This system always has some tricky tasks to make it difficult for itself.
"System, is Mingyue Su Ming's family?"
"Yes."
Confirmed by the system, I am a little tired, if it is someone else, I may be able to fool around, but in Mingyue Tower, there is Qiu Ju watching from the side, it is too difficult.
I had no choice but to open the system mall and look to see if there were any spells.
After looking for it, there really is, but a small spell like Palm Thunder costs 20 points, and he can't afford it at all. And there is a line of small print under the introduction of this palm thunder, which consumes 5 energy each time.
It was the first time he had seen such an introduction, and it was a little strange, what energy? I turned out the introduction of the sword technique again, and sure enough, there was a line of small print, which consumed 20 energy per second to use. Secretly I said that this sword technique consumes a lot of energy, and how much energy has been consumed.
"What's going on with the energy of the system, what kind of energy is used?"
"Nature is using your energy."
Self-energy? That makes sense. "And how much energy do I have now?"
"According to the machine's calculations, the amount of energy you have now is 1.8."
Chen Siye was suddenly stupid, it was only 1.8, and he couldn't use it even if he exchanged it for palm thunder. I couldn't help but ask with some disappointment, "Then how can I increase my energy value?" ”
"Just keep practicing the colorful sunshine."
When I heard this, I suddenly felt hopeful.
