The sea is clear and the sky is clear.

Candle stands on the top deck with her hands resting on the railing. Winnie the Pooh, who was used to tie her hair, was wrapped around her wrists, and she let the warm sea breeze ruffle her long hair.

She had already thrown all the malts out, and there were no tourists yet. I don't know if it's out of sensitivity or the reaction of the mustard seed itself to the surrounding fluctuations, but I always think it's better to check it comprehensively. Generally speaking, the spirit and the spirit can be identified by each other, but if they are disguised, they will naturally be undetectable.

The chubby little paper man leaned against the eaves of the window and looked down, carefully turning his back and grabbing the edge of the eaves, and his two little fat legs danced in the air, unable to step on the steps. Candle couldn't help laughing, snapped his fingers, and the little chubby dun was held up and landed firmly on the platform.

The cruise ship was so vast that it took the whole morning to check the perimeter. Candle watched her watch towards twelve o'clock in the afternoon, feeling a little hungry. She wanted to send a message to Lu Chang, but suddenly remembered that she didn't have a mobile phone. Oh no, Lu Chang can't find himself, maybe he will be very worried. Candle thought about it, it's better to call it a day today, anyway, I haven't found anything until now, maybe I'm really thinking too much.

She untied the bag behind her back, and the small pieces of paper squeezed into the bag from all directions, and the shriveled schoolbag instantly bulged. Candle packed everything up and headed for the staircase.

"Candle!" Someone shouted at her from behind.

As soon as the candle turned around, it was indeed Lu Chang.

"Why did you get out on deck alone?" Lu Chang looked out of breath, as if he had just gone on a long-distance run, "I was looking for you everywhere alone, I thought you went shopping, I went to look for duty-free shops, I also went to find bars, and even the salesperson in the supermarket said that he hadn't seen you, and he couldn't find you on the deck, so he was ready to broadcast a missing person notice." ”

"I've lost track of time." Candle said a little embarrassedly, "Then let's go to dinner now, I'll have a treat." ”

"Did anything strange happen today? You're all right, right? ”

"Nope."

"Really, isn't it?"

"Hmm."

"Think again."

"I just did some routine check-ups." Candle kind words to reassure Lu Chang not to be too anxious.

"It's your birthday, hahaha." Lu Chang took out a large rainbow lollipop from behind him, "I didn't find the flower shop, I saw it when I passed by the store just now, and I bought it by the way, it's relatively simple hahaha." ”

Is it a birthday today? In the past, Changle cared about her birthday, she should buy a cake and buy a cake, she should blow out a candle and blow out a candle, she was just dizzy.

"How do you know?"

"Didn't I tell you on our internship cards that day, I knew that your name was Lin Candle, and I also saw your birthday. I was having dinner with Bai Xiao just now, thinking about what you would do, and suddenly I thought about it, I was worried that you felt lonely because no one celebrated your birthday, so you went out for a walk alone. Lu Chang explained.

"Thank you." Candle thought about it seriously and said, "No boy has ever given a birthday present, for the first time." ”

"Did you find anything in the morning?"

"It's calm, maybe I'm thinking too much about it."

"Next time, tell me a plan of action."

"Got it."

Lu Chang pinched the note, and Bai Xiao said to order some dishes in the restaurant and wait for them.

"Dereliction of duty is to be scolded by Madame." Candle is rarely in a good mood and ridicules Lu Chang.

"I don't want to leave Bai Xiao alone." Lu Changnunu mouth.

After eating, Bai Xiao decided to lead Lu Chang and Candle around.

"Lin Candle, I really don't know about your birthday today." Bai Xiao said as he walked, "Why don't I give you a small hairpin, this hairpin is quite suitable for you." ”

The entire ship's front cabins, from the third to the eleventh floors, are used as guest rooms, and a large area at the rear is used as an entertainment venue. They are in the shopping mall on the fourth floor, and the third and fourth floors are also used as shopping malls, and there are spiral staircases everywhere that are used up and down. The roof of the fourth floor is painted with Catholic oil paintings, the staircase and floor are decorated with parquet wood inlays of European guitar headstock, and the bearing columns are also made of light jade color mixed with copper yellow, carved with traditional patterns.

The jewelry store they are in now is no different from the jewelry stores they usually see. Warm dim light, everything seems to be stained with gilt in the light, and on one side the goods stand all kinds of straw hats, sunglasses and pillows, and on the other side there are necklaces and bracelets studded with prismatic jewels, hairpins, headbands and headbands in small cabinets. Lu Chang rarely came to this kind of shop, the reason is, of course, that he had no demand. Of course, he still likes to walk around, out of curiosity.

Bai Xiao's mobile phone buzzed and vibrate, although there was no signal on the cruise ship, but you can still use the cruise ship's own WiFi, but the network fee is more expensive. Bai Xiao unlocked the phone, glanced at it roughly, moved his fingers quickly and slightly typed a few lines, and stuffed the phone into his bag.

"Most of the people living on that floor of our floor are Chinese, and I met a few new friends just lunch." Bai Xiao said excitedly, "I'll introduce you to dinner in the evening." ”

Lu Chang accompanied the two girls all afternoon. There are enough shops in the shopping mall alone, not only a variety of small jewelry, but also some clothing from major international brands. Candle was a little girl at this time, and the more she chatted with Bai Xiao, Lu Chang felt that she couldn't say a word, and she was only qualified to carry a shopping bag as a tool. There are also fast food restaurants and cafes where milk tea and fruit drinks are also sold.

On the fifth floor is a small opera house, sometimes used as a place for singers and bands invited by cruise ships, who come to perform plays, with white swan-like actresses wearing make-up and black swan-like actresses wearing smoky makeup and thick black nail polish, symbolizing rich colors.

Further up is the art auction exhibition venue for the entire cruise ship. The style is different from what you have seen before, with a wood-grain floor, a retro dark color except for the paintings hanging on the walls, and the paintings on display range from $300 to $1,000, and there is a duty-free shop next to it.

The seventh and eighth floors are occupied by a fitness center and a physiotherapy center, and the ninth floor is occupied by a casino.

"Lu Chang, I can control the dice and the ball." Candle grabbed Lu Chang's shoulder, stood on tiptoe, and whispered in his ear.

Lu Chang's face was flushed, and his mind was a little messy for a while.

"Would you like to try it?" Candle looked at the roulette wheel curiously, not paying attention to Lu Chang's flushed face.

"Well... All right. ”

The dealer was a young man with a clean face, who looked like an Asian and spoke fluent English and could not distinguish nationality.

"Then buy this." Lu Chang pointed to the number 15.

When everyone finished placing their bets, the dealer threw out the ivory ball, and the white ball grunted happily in circles, as fast as a white ring, and suddenly stopped under the number 15. The air froze for a moment, and everyone's eyes widened in surprise.

"What's going on?" An Indian man spreads his hands.

"You guys do it!" Another grumpy Nordic man pointed at the dealer's nose.

The dealer was also slightly stunned for a moment, and smiled randomly: "I will compensate you twice for your losses on behalf of the casino, this is our dereliction of duty." ”

"And this young lady, can you get to know each other?" The dealer smiled and looked at the candle that had been pulled by Lu Chang and sneaked away.

"Another day, another day." Lu Chang coped without looking back.

The tenth floor is the bar.

"Lin Zhu, you killed me." Lu Chang complained. "But why does that dealer know you?"

"Maybe he's a spirit too." Candle muttered with a face, "How do I know it stops." ”

"Hahaha, you two..."Bai Xiao couldn't straighten down with a smile all the way, "It's still stupid and cute to say that you are talented." ”

The eleventh floor is the pastry shop, and the top deck is further up, when the sea is already dark, and the sun is in a corner and is about to sink.

"Let's go to dinner." Bai Xiao proposed, "There are new friends." ”

By the time they returned to the garden dining room, there were already quite a few people sitting at the window round table for lunch. Seeing Bai Xiao, one of the men hurriedly beckoned and motioned for them to come over.

“Surprise！” As they walked in, they pulled out their chairs and prepared to take their seats, when a chubby man beside Candle suddenly got up and fastened a cardboard crown hat to Candle's head.

"Happy Birthday!" Everyone laughed in unison. The man who had greeted him earlier burrowed under the table and brought out a cake box.

"I just quietly planned it." Bai Xiao shook the phone in his hand proudly.

"Hello, my name is Hu Hai, I am a freelance writer and I live in 1102." The chubby man didn't look very old, he wore silver-rimmed glasses, and his eyes were small and he lost his neck when he smiled, and he looked like he had no neck because he was too fat.

"Hello." Candle shook his hand, and the delicacy of his palm was not like a boy but like a girl.

"The guy over there is called Qi Duo, and he lives in 1101 with his girlfriend." Bai Xiao introduced. The man she pointed to had long bangs hanging down, double eyelids, prominent eyebrow bones, and radiant eyes, somewhat like Xinjiang people, who were the same men who greeted him before.

"Zhou Yi." Qi Duo's girlfriend also smiled and waved, which counted as a self-introduction.

"Finally, it's a family of three living in 1107." Bai Xiao said.

"Let's do it ourselves. My name is Zhang Xiao and I am a professional magician. This is my wife, Chen Jiali. The man with dyed silver hair looked very ruffian, and his wife was holding a little girl who looked to be just over a year old, presumably her daughter.

After exchanging pleasantries, everyone raised their glasses to celebrate the happy birthday of the candle.

"Hurry up and light the candles, the birthday star wants to make a wish." Bai Xiao coaxed, completely a self-familiar temper.

The candles flickered, eighteen in all, and the candles closed their eyes, folded their hands, and then blew out the candles.

Let's go! Lu Chang suddenly felt that his eyes couldn't be opened, and he wiped a handful of cream with his hand, only to see Bai Xiao pointing at him and laughing, there was no customer shelf at all.

"Don't make a fuss yet, I'll do a magic trick for everyone." Zhang Xiao hurriedly said.

"Look at this stopwatch." He pulled out a silver pocket watch from his bosom, grabbed the bracelet and hung it down, facing the surface at the viewer.

"I'll count three-two-one, and there will be miracles."

"Three."

"Two."

"One."
