"Speaking of which, tomorrow is your birthday, right?"

It was late at night, and everyone else in the Hall of the Dead had returned to their rooms to prepare for bed, and when Ruo Ban was about to go home, Hu Tao, who was smoking milk tea, suddenly asked Ruo Ban as if he remembered something.

"Birthday, it looks like it's really tomorrow."

Glancing at the calendar hanging on the wall of the Hall of the Dead, Ruo couldn't help but accidentally find that tomorrow was really his birthday.

"Hehe, it's good, Ah Ban, you will never think of the gift I prepared for you tomorrow, so hurry home and sleep now, and remember to get up early tomorrow~"

aroused Ruoban's interest, and without waiting for Ruoban to ask to understand, Hu Tao pushed Ruoban out of the Afterlife Hall, and when he closed the door of the Afterlife Hall, Hu Tao did not forget to remind Ruoban to remember to get up early, and Ruoban, who was a little confused by Hu Tao, had to nod his head.

In this way, under Ruoban's doubts, the night passed quickly, and when the first rays of morning light pierced through the mist, a warm morning was ushered in on the street, and just as the people of Liyue Harbor had not yet woken up from their sleep, the door of the Hall of the Dead was opened, and Hu Tao slipped through the crack in the door.

"Xiangling, do you have any gifts for Ah Ban today?"

In the kitchen of Wanmintang, looking at Xiangling, who was still studying cooking, Hu Tao who ran to Wanmintang early in the morning pinched a shrimp dumpling and asked Xiangling what kind of birthday gift she had prepared for Ruoban.

Xiangling, who was chopping vegetables, heard Hu Tao suddenly ask this question, she stopped the knife to cut vegetables, and looked at Hu Tao with a somewhat confused look, as if she was talking about gifts? What gift? Is today a special day?

was stared at by Xiangling with an extremely confused look, Hu Tao stuffed shrimp dumplings into her mouth, and a question inadvertently arose in her heart, could it be that she remembered Ah Ban's birthday by mistake? It shouldn't be, today is June 24, and she deliberately looked at the calendar before going out to find Xiangling.

Just looking at Xiangling like this, Hu Tao was also a little unsure if she had read the wrong time, and with the mentality of reconfirming, Hu Tao blinked and pointed to the calendar hanging in Wanmin Hall and said.

"Isn't it his birthday on June 24? Xiangling, have you forgotten? ”

"Today, June 24??? No, I remember that today is June 17th. ”

Hearing Hu Tao say that today is the birthday of Ruo Ban on the 24th, Xiangling also hurriedly ran to the calendar to take a look, only to see that this page of the calendar clearly said seventeen.

Following behind Xiangling, he looked at the date on the calendar in Wanmin Hall clearly, and now it was Hu Tao's turn to be confused, no, how can the calendar of the Death Hall show that the calendar of the Death Hall is indeed the twenty-fourth and the seventeenth of the calendar.

Could it be that the calendar of her Afterlife Hall is not accurate? That's not right, the first thing the ferryman lady does when she goes to work every day is to tear up a page of the calendar, it's been so many years, she shouldn't make such a low-level mistake.

"Xiangling, are you sure your family's calendar is accurate?"

After thinking about it, she still felt that there would be no problem with her calendar, Hu Tao blinked her plum blossom pupil and asked Xiangling, and after thinking about it for a while, she seemed to suddenly think of something, and her face was obviously panicked.

"Hu Tao, it should be my family's calendar is not accurate."

A few days ago, when Ruo Ban and Hu Tao were still in Sumeru, after receiving the news that this year's Moon Festival would hold a cooking competition, Xiangling had gone out for a week to look for various ingredients, and with Xiangling's understanding of her father, it was very likely that her father did not tear up the calendar during the week she was out.

And if you add the time she spent a week out, wouldn't today be her forbidden brother's birthday?!

Thinking that today is Ruoban's birthday, the panic on Xiangling's face is even more obvious, you know, in the past, when Ruoban celebrated his birthday, she would prepare gifts for Ruoban several days in advance, because Xiangling knew that Ruoban was not short of Mora, so the gifts she prepared in the past were made by herself, although some of those gifts were more abstract, but Xiangling knew that Ruoban could feel her heart.

According to Xiangling's plan, if Ban celebrates her birthday this year, she is going to give the championship trophy of the cooking competition to Ruoban, even if she is not the first, she will give the second and third trophies to Ruoban.

Originally, Xiangling planned well, just waiting to win a place in the cooking competition, but what she never expected was that her family's calendar was not allowed! And if she prepares a gift from now on, it's too late, she can't use a bunch of creative dishes for her forbidden brother, right?

Thinking of this, Xiangling's originally panicked face also became a little distressed, looking at Hu Tao on the side, Xiangling also asked Hu Tao with the intention of referring to the gift Hu Tao was going to give.

"Hu Tao, what gift have you prepared?"

"Me? The head of the hall plans to give himself to Ah Ban. ”

Because Xiangling didn't have much time during the cooking competition and Master Mao's waist was injured again, Xiangling and Master Mao combined, Wanmintang was simply closed these days, so Hu Tao was not worried that her words would be listened to by others.

"Give yourself to Brother Forbidden?"

Xiangling blinked suspiciously, she didn't understand what Hu Tao's words meant, and saw Xiangling's puzzlement, Hu Tao leaned into Xiangling's ear and said in a low voice.

"Xiangling, you and the hall master are both sixteen years old, and we can marry at this age in Liyue."

When Hu Tao said the word marriage, no matter how simple Xiangling was, she understood what Hu Tao meant by giving herself to Ah Ban, which made Xiangling's face turn red.

"Hu, Hu Tao, is it really okay for us to be like this?"

"Xiangling, you haven't prepared a gift anyway, it's better to follow the hall master and give it to Ah Ban yourself, anyway, you have to marry him in the future, this kind of thing will happen sooner or later."

After that, Hu Tao put his arm around Xiangling's shoulder, and the unique pair of plum blossom eyes flashed with the charm that belonged to Hu Tao, because Hu Tao had begun to plan in his heart in Inazuma.

Ever since Inazuma bought a few copies of the light that had been banned from sale because of the color from some vendors, Hu Tao had the idea of it, but because it was a foreign country at the time, and like such an important thing, Hu Tao thought it would be better to take place in Liyue, so that it would not be so sweet to recall in the future because it happened outside of Liyue, so he kept dragging it off.

Xiangling, who was hugged by Hu Tao's shoulder, was under Hu Tao's burning gaze, and her face, which was already blushing, was now even redder, no different from Jueyun Jiaojiao, and in this state, Xiangling nodded slightly.

Sensing that Xiangling nodded, Hu Tao smiled, took Xiangling's hand and walked in the direction of Kefu, while walking Hu Tao, she sighed that she had the foresight to hand over Klee to Qiqi instead of Xiangling, otherwise, Xiangling, who had to take care of Qiqi, was afraid that she would be powerless.

As for why Hu Tao brought Xiangling with her, in addition to giving her courage, more importantly, she, Xiangling and Ruo Ban were small to big, knowing that Xiang Ling had thoughts about Ruo Ban, Hu Tao didn't want to hide from Xiang Ling, and after thinking about it all night, she really couldn't think of how to carry Xiang Ling on her back to eat Ruo Ban secretly, so Hu Tao simply pulled Xiang Ling together.

At this time, in addition to shyness, Xiangling's heart was more of an indescribable joy and excitement, you know, when Master Mao said that he would marry her to Ruoban, Xiangling was actually prepared, but later because Ruoban was pulled to Inazuma by Ying, this made Xiangling suppress this matter in her heart.

And now Hu Tao suddenly mentioned this matter, although doing that kind of thing with Hu Tao made Xiangling feel a little shy, but knowing Hu Tao's feelings for Ruoban, Xiangling agreed after thinking about it.

It's just that Xiangling is a little worried about whether it will affect her participation in the cooking competition after this kind of thing happens, after all, she still wants to give the championship trophy of the cooking competition to Ruoban.
