Chapter 33: The Birthday Party
Leng Hao's parents have long passed away, and he wanders alone in Hengdian, tired like a dog every day, and can only recall his life on his birthday every year.
That was a way for him to miss his parents, so this time he also paid special attention to Jiang Xiaoyu's birthday.
As Song Xiaya said, after the end of the world, no one knows whether they will have a chance to have another birthday next year.
"Candles, candles!"
Leng Hao quickly searched on the Internet.
Cakes obviously can't be seen in the last days, but that doesn't mean there aren't other ways to celebrate.
As an extras whose monthly salary is just enough for rent and dreams of becoming a star, Leng Hao still knows how to save money.
Soon, he placed an order, grabbed the gifts that had been delivered to him instantly, and examined them.
"That's it, I'm going back!"
When the ripples of water dissipated, Leng Hao reappeared in the bomb shelter.
"Jiang Mingrui, take your sister to the grass over there to set up a sentry, and come back in half an hour."
Leng Hao beckoned to Song Xiaya and the others, driving the two siblings far away.
"What is Brother Hao going to do?"
Jiang Mingrui's brother and sister were completely confused.
And Song Xiaya and Zhang Ye, who walked into the air-raid shelter, widened their eyes.
"Isn't it, Leng Hao, where did you find these things?"
…………
"Ahem, little birthday star, I'm back!"
When Jiang Mingrui took Jiang Xiaoyu's hand and walked back to the bomb shelter, Jiang Xiaoyu suddenly covered her mouth in surprise.
At the entrance of the bomb shelter, there was a crooked red banner.
It reads, "Happy 20th birthday to Miss Jiang Xiaoyu!" "A few big white letters.
Just next to the banner, there are two strings of small colorful balloons.
At the same time, in the open space at the entrance of the cave, on the mound where they had just eaten, there was an open can of fish.
The entire can is wrapped in a heart shape by twenty small birthday candles.
On top of the half-opened can of fish, there is also a candle shaped with the number 20.
In the slightly swaying candlelight, Leng Hao, Song Xiaya and Zhang Ye lined up, clapped their hands gently, and sang the long-standing happy birthday song.
"Happy birthday, happy birthday to you!"
In this melodious singing, Jiang Xiaoyu's eyes seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist.
Once upon a time, the former girl would have a warm birthday every year, a big cake, and a laughing family.
However, when the end of the world came, all this was hidden in Jiang Yu's heart forever.
And now, she seems to have seen the past, the warm and peaceful days of the past.
Jiang Xiaoyu, accompanied by her brother, slowly came to the candle.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you!"
In Leng Hao's energetic singing, Song Xiaya and Zhang Ye also sang loudly with their hearts.
"Thank you, thank you."
The girl didn't hold back the tears in her eyes, but now she felt an inexplicable joy fill her chest.
And Jiang Mingrui, who was beside her, was also so excited that his face was flushed, and he would only keep nodding to Leng Hao and them to express his gratitude.
The birthday party in front of me is very simple.
Those crooked banners, those shoddy balloons, plus these mini birthday candles, are not worth a few bucks at all.
However, in the last days, in this age of material scarcity, it is so precious.
"Blow out the candles, blow out the candles!"
In the midst of everyone's uproar, Jiang Xiaoyu took a deep breath, pursed his lips, and blew out all the candles in front of him in one go.
"Papapa, papa!"
Without a soundtrack of stereos, Leng Hao and the others could only applaud vigorously.
Everyone is very happy and very serious.
This is for Jiang Xiaoyu's birthday, but why not let them share a happy moment?
"Ahem, the conditions are poor, and there are really no gifts for you. I will definitely make up for it next time, and the little princess will be happy! ”
Leng Hao stopped and said apologetically.
"No, I think, I've received the best birthday present."
Jiang Xiaoyu picked up the candle with the number 20, wiped it carefully, and put it on her chest.
"That's my best birthday present, thank you."
"Cut, this is worth eight bucks, what is this......"
Leng Hao pursed his lips and was about to refute.
"I'd love to have a birthday party like this."
On the side, Song Xiaya's eyes were full of little stars, and she looked at Jiang Xiaoyu with envy.
"It's definitely fine. Leave it all to me. ”
Leng Hao tilted his head and patted his chest very confidently.
His popularity is pitifully low right now, but at least it's okay to do some of these little things.
"But, Brother Hao, you're so weird. These things are not edible or worn, when did you prepare them? ”
Jiang Mingrui, who was on the side, asked with some curiosity.
"I found it in the pile of debris on the other side of the cave, I didn't care about it at first, but now I use it."
Leng Hao's lies came as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Sure enough, it's the young master, it's different from us little people, and I'm still interested in paying attention to these things at this time."
Song Xiaya sighed faintly.
"Woman, are you trying to tease me? The young master still lacks a warm bed! ”
Leng Hao deliberately crooked his mouth, licked his tongue, and looked at Song Xiaya.
"You want to be beautiful!"
When Leng Hao chased Song Xiaya and frolicked on the edge of the mound, people joined in, constantly cheering and laughing.
"I really didn't expect us to meet such a captain."
Zhang Ye's somewhat weathered face on the side also shone with excitement.
Although it is just a humble birthday party, people will remember this moment for a long time in their hearts.
Because, after the end of the world, they have never felt this kind of heart-warming feeling in other teams.
The moon had risen into the sky at night, and with the faint moonlight, Jiang Xiaoyu once again wrapped her clothes tightly.
The girl hadn't slept for a long time, and whenever she remembered the swaying candles and the cheerful singing just now, she couldn't help but smile.
"Slept, slept, laughed like a little mouse stealing food. Is it so exaggerated? ”
Leng Hao, who was in the distance, turned over again and said impatiently.
At the same time, Song Xiaya's laughter sounded in the darkness.
"Brother Hao, you are so annoying!"
Jiang Xiaoyu blushed suddenly, hid her head in her collar, and didn't make a sound.
It's just that the girl's hand has been holding the candle that symbolizes her 20 years old, as if she is holding some treasure.
Since the outbreak of the apocalypse, this is the first time that Jiang Xiaoyu has developed a love for things other than food and weapons, or the kind of love that warms his whole heart when he thinks of it.
