"Qingcheng! Happy birthday!!! ”

"Happy birthday."

Two blessings came, and Yan Qingcheng was shocked.

The lights in the room were turned on, and Peony and Xiao suddenly appeared, looking at him with a smile on their faces.

Yan Qingcheng's nose was a little pantothenic.

Today is his twentieth birthday.

He has always been alone for his birthday...... No, he never had a birthday, and he wouldn't even say happy birthday to himself on this day.

Every year on this day, he feels sincerely lonely.

Because he was an orphan, he didn't even have an impression of his parents.

Usually he likes to look up at the starry sky at night, and that kind of mysterious and free artistic conception is what he yearns for; Only on this day, he only felt sour when he looked at the starlight.

Even the stars in the sky are happier than him, at least they have companions who illuminate each other.

Only he is lonely, with no one to get close to.

All because he was an orphan.

But today is different.

Yan Qingcheng felt warmth for the first time on his birthday.

His eyes began to redden, and a flood of happiness swelled up.

Xiao Sao stepped forward and hugged Yan Qingcheng vigorously, wiping away his tears from an angle that Peony couldn't see.

"Surprised?" Xiao Shi glanced at him and signaled him not to cry in front of Peony at this time.

"Well, thanks...... Thank you. Yan Qingcheng hurriedly adjusted his mentality.

The two of them came to celebrate his birthday, and at this time, the crying nose was too big.

"How do you know it's my birthday?" Yan Qingcheng found a topic.

"Heck, didn't we tell you we looked into the records? No matter how strict the coalition government is in its information blockade, it is not like paper paste to us. Peony said as it should be.

Xiao Sprinkle whispered in Yan Qingcheng's ear: "We didn't notice it before, it was Peony who reminded her, and she also planned this party and asked to keep it secret from you; A few days ago, she disappeared to secretly buy you items to prepare for your birthday party, and the material life of our planet is too scarce, so she can only run to Yuxing in the inner ring star area, delaying a lot of time. ”

Yan Qingcheng nodded, and his heartbeat accelerated a lot.

They are not people who can walk freely in human society, and if exposed, their lives are in danger; Peony took such a big risk just to surprise him, which really touched him.

"Qingcheng, come here!" Peony walked to the center of the room and urged, and a table was set up beside her, on which lay a cream cake in the shape of a wing, and several small boxes wrapped in colorful colors.

The cake was written with chocolate "Happy 20th birthday to Qingcheng", and the penmanship was delicate, and Qingcheng could recognize it as the handwriting of the peony.

Peony took twenty candles and planted them around the edge of the cake.

"Is this retro way of celebrating birthdays popular now?" Yan Qingcheng asked.

"No, it's just my personal preference," Peony stuck out her tongue and stretched out her hand towards Xiao, "Uncle Xiaoxiao, igniter." ”

Xiao was stunned, he secretly drank a little wine before he came, and forgot about it.

"This," Xiao Xiao scratched his head, his eyes drifted out of the window, "Uncle doesn't smoke, and he hasn't been on any outing lately, so what are you doing with that kind of dangerous items?" ”

"Stupid! I'll give you one thing, and you can't do one thing well. Peony said angrily.

She looked around the room and picked up the Lightblade Scythe that lay across the wall.

"That...... Do you use this to light a fire? The corners of Yan Qingcheng's mouth twitched.

"Well, when the blade cuts through objects, it emits a lot of heat, enough to light a candle." Peony activated the light blade and aimed it at the wick of the candle, and clicked down one by one.

The candle glows orange-yellow, and a halo of light hangs over the entire cake.

"Oh! It's so convenient. Yan Qingcheng didn't expect that this lethal weapon could be used to do such a warm thing.

"Okay," Peony put away the light blade and pulled Yan Qingcheng to sit down in front of the cake, "Hurry up and make a wish." ”

Xiao Xiao turned off the lights in the room.

In the darkness, only the cake in front of him glowed warmly.

Yan Qingcheng looked at the peony beside her, she was staring at the cream cake expectantly, and a drop of crystal liquid flowed from the corner of her mouth.

"So you urged me to make a wish because you wanted to eat earlier?" Yan Qingcheng thought to himself, the room was very quiet, and he could hear a hazy "cooing" sound coming from Peony's stomach.

It turned out that not only did he not eat dinner, but Peony was also waiting for him hungry.

What a flattering thing.

Yan Qingcheng closed his eyes and recalled everything that happened this year.

The mysterious girl who met by chance, the sudden mortal threat, the astonishing historical truth, reborn in the cover of the wings, as well as the delicate and lovely peony, the uninhibited and indulgent chic, and the stern but kind old man, Yan Qingcheng's life has changed too much in the past six months.

And he himself is like two people in the past.

"I hope ...... What I hope is ......"

Yan Qingcheng hesitated, not knowing what kind of wish to make.

After all, it was the first time he had made a birthday wish, and he took it very seriously.

"What do I want?"

Yan Qingcheng thought about it for a long time, but still didn't find the answer.

"Goo-"

Peony's stomach rang again, this time very clearly.

Yan Qingcheng couldn't hold back and let out a chuckle.

It's a beautiful sound.

He knew what he wanted.

"I hope ...... World peace, everyone can get their own happiness. ”

This wish was too far away, too heavy, for his Wing Clan.

But he has no regrets.

Because this wish is worth pursuing for a lifetime.

Yan Qingcheng blew out the candle in one breath.

The lights in the room were turned back on, and Peony applauded happily.

Xiao Sao didn't know where to take out a knife and gestured at the cake a few times, his eyes emitting a hungry wolf-like light, "Wowhaha!" It's finally time to eat, starving uncle! ”

It turned out that Xiao Sao was also waiting for him.

"What's the hurry?!" Peony stretched out her wings to block the cake, "Let's leave a souvenir first." ”

She takes out a small round ball and throws it into the air, and the ball automatically levitates, and the camera pops out and is aimed at the center of the room.

Peony adjusted the position of the camera in the lieutenant on his wrist, and then pulled Yan Qingcheng to stand in.

"Move over there and leave a place for my uncle." Xiao squeezed to the left of Yan Qingcheng and said with a hippie smile.

Peony pouted, but still didn't have the heart to drive him away.

The trio posed.

"Are you ready?"

"Hmm!"

"Hmm."

"One-two-"

The camera flickered, and Peony projected the photo.

"How? The effect is very good, isn't it? ”

Yan Qingcheng stretched out his hand in the light curtain**.

In that photo, Peony is holding his right arm, smiling like a flower; Xiao put his arm on his shoulder and winked at the camera.

In the middle, he was a little restrained, but his expression was full of happiness.

"Very good."

Yan Qingcheng said in his heart.
