Xiong Xiaobai was making a mask when he heard Mama Xiong's exclusive ringtone.

"Woo......" Xiong Xiaobai was afraid of ruining his mask, so he just opened his mouth slightly and made a sound, as a greeting to Mama Xiong.

"You're still sleeping?" Mama Bear glanced at the clock at home, it was almost noon, was she still sleeping? On the phone the other day, didn't she say that her routine was close to that of a normal human?

"Mask ......," Xiong Xiaobai said two words vaguely.

Mother Xiong frowned, since Xiong Xiaobai was able to pronounce words clearly at the age of five, she had never taken such pains to guess what her babbling meant.

After pondering for a while, Mama Xiong asked, "Are you making a mask?" ”

"Hmm......" Xiong Xiaobai replied.

"Going out?" Mother Bear knows how lazy her daughter is, and if she hadn't gone out, she wouldn't even wash her face.

"Hmm......" Xiong Xiaobai replied again.

"To the supermarket?" The range of activities that Xiong Xiaobai can think of, in addition to going home, only needs to go to the supermarket.

"Hmm......" Xiong Xiaobai's voice was different, indicating that he was not going to the supermarket.

Xiong Xiaobai is going out on a date today, and the person who is dating her is Gou Yifeng, who used to go on a blind date with her.

"Dating" is the word used by Gou Yifeng on the phone, but in Xiong Xiaobai's view, it is not so much a date as a meeting.

"Forget it, I don't know what you want to say." Xiong's mother gave up the conversation with Xiong Xiaobai, she still quickly said the purpose of her call: "Just listen to me, tomorrow is not your birthday, go home and have dinner at noon, so that you can live your two-person world with your prospective son-in-law in the evening." ”

Suddenly, when I heard Mother Xiong mention An Weichen, Xiong Xiaobai was so frightened that he even lost his mask. Yes, Mama Xiong didn't know that she had broken up with An Weichen. More things are better than less things, about this matter, don't take the initiative to explain to Mama Xiong.

"Your brother's work has been too busy lately, and he told me this morning that he really doesn't have time to buy you a birthday present, and if you like something, let me accompany you to buy it, and the money will be paid by him." Xiong's mother felt distressed when she mentioned her son, I really didn't know what kind of boss she had arranged so many jobs for him, and she went out early and returned late every day, which caused him to lose weight recently.

When Xiong Xiaobai heard this, he even forgot about the mask on his face, and couldn't wait to say, "Give me money." ”

"You're done with your mask?" As soon as Mama Xiong's words were asked, she heard a scream on the other side of the phone, and she knew that as soon as she heard the money, Xiong Xiaobai forgot about the mask. She shook her head and sighed and said, "You still make your mask, I'll tell your brother tonight, you don't want a gift, just money, let him wrap a big red envelope for you." That's it, if the prospective son-in-law is free at noon tomorrow, let him come over. ”

After speaking, without waiting for Xiong Xiaobai's answer, Xiong's mother hung up the phone.

Xiong Xiaobai slowly put down the phone and stared at the ceiling.

"Let's all celebrate birthdays together in the future." In his ears, the words that An Weichen had said sounded again.

Xiong Xiaobai suddenly closed his eyes, as if he wanted to stop something. However, her movements were still too slow, and tears still flowed from the corners of her eyes.

It is impossible for her and him to celebrate their birthdays together anymore.

For the date with Gou Yifeng, Xiong Xiaobai was still late, who let her fall asleep in bed later.

"I'm sorry I'm late." Before Xiong Xiaobai could sit down, he apologized to Gou Yifeng.

"It's okay." Gou Yifeng thought that Xiong Xiaobai was going to release his pigeons, but now that he saw her appear, he was already very happy.

"Did you order something to eat? I'm so hungry. Xiong Xiaobai stuck out her tongue embarrassedly, but she couldn't do it for the sake of her image.

"Not yet, because I don't know what you like to eat." Gou Yifeng beckoned to the waiter.

After the waiter came over, he handed the recipe to Xiong Xiaobai and Gou Yifeng respectively.

Xiong Xiaobai was looking at the recipe while explaining to the waiter, and Gou Yifeng just looked at her quietly with a smile on his face.

"Are there any other guests coming?" After the waiter walked away, Gou Yifeng asked in a low voice, he was really afraid that the person who came was the An Weichen who he hated.

"No, why do you ask?" Xiong Xiaobai shook his head and looked at Gou Yifeng in confusion. Before the words fell, she suddenly understood why he had such a question. She hurriedly waved her hand and said embarrassedly, "That...... I'm really hungry today. ”

"Oh." Gou Yifeng smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, as long as An Weichen didn't want to come, he could afford Xiong Xiaobai to eat as much as he wanted.

"Still, even if I'm not hungry, I'll eat so much." Xiong Xiaobai thought about it and added without any scruples.

"Hehe......" Gou Yifeng was amused by Xiong Xiaobai's appearance, she was really not pretentious at all. If only he could have met her earlier.

After the dish was served, Gou Yifeng proposed to drink some red wine, but Xiong Xiaobai refused, and she ordered a glass of juice for herself.

felt that it was boring to drink alone, so Gou Yifeng ordered the same juice as Xiong Xiaobai.

"Come, I wish you a happy birthday tomorrow in advance." Gou Yifeng raised his glass to Xiong Xiaobai.

"Thank you for remembering my birthday." Xiong Xiaobai and Gou Yifeng gently touched their glasses.

Gou Yifeng looked at Xiong Xiaobai, who was eating happily, and said hesitantly: "Actually, I really want to celebrate my birthday with you tomorrow." However, I also know that you may have to spend time with your parents, and you have a boyfriend, so I asked you out a day in advance...... What happened to you? ”

I don't know which sentence I said wrong, Gou Yifeng saw Xiong Xiaobai stop his chopsticks.

Xiong Xiaobai came back to her senses, she tried her best to squeeze out a smile, picked up the wine glass, and said to Gou Yifeng: "Punish you for a drink, I am pure single now and have no boyfriend." ”

Gou Yifeng finally knew which sentence he said wrong, looking at Xiong Xiaobai, who pretended to be strong, he knew that her so-called singleness must be a last resort, because her smile looked very heart-wrenching.

"Okay, let's have a drink with the two of us. As it happens, I don't have a boyfriend either. Gou Yifeng said with a smile, and after speaking, he winked at Xiong Xiaobai.

"Poof-" Xiong Xiaobai laughed, she laughed for a while, then glared at Gou Yifeng, and said angrily: "You made me almost choke on juice, don't tell jokes while I'm drinking juice in the future, aren't you afraid that I will spray juice on your face, or do you want to cheat me on my laundry bill?" ”

"Did I just tell a joke? I'm an honest man, and I'm telling the truth. Gou Yifeng shook his head aggrievedly.

"Okay, I'll just treat you as an honest person for the time being. So, honest man, didn't you say you were going to give me a 'birthday present that might move me'? Why don't you hand it over honestly now? Xiong Xiaobai thought of what Gou Yifeng said on the phone, and she always wanted to know what he meant by "a birthday gift that might move you".

"Okay, I'll hand it over honestly now." As Gou Yifeng spoke, he turned sideways and opened the leather bag he was carrying.

"Is it Shikamaru?" Xiong Xiaobai's mind is full of two-dimensional, and among the two-dimensional, the only one that can move her the most is Shikamaru. Although Shishu is a dark horse, he has already ranked second in less than a year after his debut, but unfortunately, his figure is not available for the time being.

"If only Shikamaru moves you, then I'm afraid you and I will be disappointed." Gou Yifeng took out a printed document and handed it to Xiong Xiaobai.

Xiong Xiaobai took it with a smile, she was curious about what was written on these pieces of paper. And the moment she saw the contents of the document, a smile suddenly froze on her face.

She quickly finished reading the document in her hand, looked at Gou Yifeng, with an expression of disbelief, and asked, "...... is this?" ”

"It's my birthday present to you, do you like it?" Gou Yifeng looked at Xiong Xiaobai expectantly.

"I ...... I really can't believe it......" Xiong Xiaobai's hand holding the document was trembling slightly, and she couldn't help but bite her finger, because she really couldn't believe that it wasn't her dream.

"You just want to prove that you are not dreaming, and you don't have to bite yourself so hard." Gou Yifeng guessed Xiong Xiaobai's thoughts, but when he saw the tooth marks on her fingers and the corners of her eyes that were moist with pain, he felt funny and distressed.

"It really hurts, it's not a dream. I ......" Xiong Xiaobai sniffed, desperately held back his tears, and said with a smile: "If it weren't for the fear that the makeup would be spent, I would definitely cry...... Thank you for giving me such a touching birthday present. ”

"If you like it." Gou Yifeng nodded contentedly, he was very satisfied if he could make her happy.

"How, though?" Xiong Xiaobai didn't expect that her four-year dream would be realized by Gou Yifeng.

Gou Yifeng said with a smile: "Actually, this is also a coincidence. I have a friend who is the manager of a publishing house. When we met a few days ago, he knew that I like to read online novels, so he discussed this topic with me. I introduced you to the novels you wrote to him, and many of them were very interested in him and wanted to have the opportunity to work with you. That's why I came up with the idea of using a physical book publishing contract as your birthday present. And, I thought, for any author, the first novel must have a different meaning, so I chose this one. I only got the contract back from him today, so I didn't have time to prepare a beautiful package for this birthday present, I hope you don't feel like a fly in the ointment. ”

Xiong Xiaobai shook his head vigorously, pressed the contract tightly to his chest, and said excitedly: "I feel like I'm about to die of happiness, the conditions of this contract are really much better than I imagined." Yifeng, thank you, thank you really much. ”

"This is just the beginning, as I said, he is interested in many of the novels you have written. I am sure that there will be a lot of cooperation between you and you. Their contact number is on the contract, so you can communicate directly with the publisher if you have any questions. "Gou Yifeng is telling the truth.

"I see." Xiong Xiaobai carefully put away the contract, raised his glass, and said with a smile: "Today's meal is for you to celebrate my birthday, if I say that I pay, you will definitely not agree." So, another day, I'll treat you to your favorite food as a thank you for it, and I won't frown even if it's to eat fish. ”

Looking at Xiong Xiaobai's expression of sacrificing his life, Gou Yifeng shook his head with a smile and said, "Like you, I don't like to eat fish, so you don't have to worry." By the way, I remember you wrote in your novel that there is an awesome barbecue, so why don't you take me to the barbecue. ”

"Okay, that's a deal." Xiong Xiaobai immediately agreed.
