Birthday......

Lin Zuzu was stunned.

Is it your birthday?

She hurriedly flipped out her phone, and the date was prominently displayed on November 11.

She hasn't had a birthday in many years since she chose to live alone.

"Hahaha, I'll just say it, she will definitely be so alert!" Yan Ying'er patted Li Qing's shoulder and said with a big grin. "You'll have to talk to me later."

Li Qing nodded helplessly, thinking that he had taken the lead by fighting with a knife against a fist.

Yi Tingxiao smiled and lit the candle, Li Qin prepared the knives and dishes for cutting the cake, and Lin Qi obediently helped on the side.

"Zuzu." Liang Wen called, her cheeks slightly red. "Come and make a wish."

It was her enchantment that brought this surprise to the girl with a keen sense.

Lin Zuzu smiled, walked over, and was surrounded by everyone in the center.

In the birthday song, which was neither neat nor beautiful, Lin Zuzu closed his eyes.

Wish......

Her greatest wish in this life will never change, and she is firmly on the path to achieving it.

Lin Zuzu opened his eyes and blew out the candle without hesitation.

The atmosphere reached its climax in an instant, and Yan Yinger cheered and applauded.

Lin Zuzu distributed the cake for everyone, and took the first bite in Liang Wen's expectant gaze.

"Is it delicious?" The White Rabbit Girl asked shyly.

The cake is filled with watermelon as a fruit filling, and the flavors are also very harmonious, surprisingly agreeable.

Lin Zuzu nodded and praised: "Which cake shop bought it?" ”

Suddenly, Liang Wen's face turned even redder, and he was speechless for a while.

"This is made by Liang Wen himself." Li Qing hurriedly interjected.

"Thank you Xiaowen, it's really delicious, I like watermelon so much." Lin Zuzu hurriedly thanked him.

At this time of year, Liang Wen should have spent a lot of effort to find a delicious watermelon.

The White Rabbit Girl nodded happily, and then looked at Li Qing happily.

This time and again, Lin Zuzu seemed to understand something.

These two ...... At least WeChat is added.

"Hehe, look at me~" Yan Ying'er squeezed over with a large black suitcase in one hand.

Lin Zuzu was prepared and used both hands to pick it up, but he was still almost bent his arm. She lifted it with all her might, barely enough to keep the box from hitting the floor.

Yan Yinger waited expectantly for the birthday star to unpack.

Lin Zuzu smiled embarrassedly, then flattened and opened the box, which was a set of dumbbells for strength training, with all weights.

"I know you're very good at speed and explosiveness, if you improve your strength......" Yan Ying'er didn't care about the competition between teams at all, she just thought about having one more strong player who could compete.

It's really Yan Yinger's style...... Wait, she was one-handed just now...... Probably strength 10 is the limit of the score, not her limit.

"Thank you Ying'er, I'll use it."

"And." Yan Ying'er handed over a bouquet of lilies representing gratitude. "Brother Qi's."

Qi Tianyang had a task and couldn't leave, as a representative of the straight man, he had a long time with the clerk who tried his best to sell 99 roses or the blue enchantress before he chose the wrong flower.

Lin Zuzu hurriedly closed the box and reached out to take it.

"It's Xiaoyou's." Yan Ying'er handed over another scroll.

Lin Zuzu unfolded it carefully, and eight big characters were written in block letters cleanly on it - "Smooth and safe, all get what you want". The payment is Huiwu.

The calligraphy is smooth and peaceful, with a sense of tranquility. And this "wisdom" may be the Tao of the wanderer.

The little Taoist priest who had not been down the mountain for a long time was shy in his pocket, and before he officially joined the task force, his income was only a subsidy for newcomers in the training ground.

The girl rolled up the scroll again and saw Lin Qi twisting his hands behind her back.

"Did Xiao Qi also prepare a gift?" Lin Zuzu asked gently.

"This kid has been preparing for a long time." Although Li Qing was a little unaccustomed to the boy, he still pushed him.

So, Lin Qi carefully held a lot of small objects in front of the girl.

There were expensive chocolates that had been opened, a brown paper bag that appeared to contain pills, and a greeting card, the most notable of which was the dart he loved so much. It was given to him by his master Zheng Mu.

Lin Qi took out all the things he thought were the best, and there was nothing hidden in that piece of sincerity.

Lin Zuzu was a little moved, and said with a little tightness in his throat: "It's too much, can I take this one first?" Will you send me the rest next year? ”

As she spoke, she picked up the greeting card.

Two small figures are drawn with childish strokes, and a girl with long black hair leads a slightly short boy. Without the blessing of words, it seems that his cultural class is really not as good as practicing.

"Thank you Xiaoqi, I like it very much, I really ......" Lin Zuzu hugged the boy and patted him gently.

Lin Qi's whole body stiffened again, but he quickly relaxed. In short, much faster than the first time.

When the sister and brother separated, Li Qin silently handed over a small dark blue box.

Lin Zuzu didn't know why, so he pulled open the white ribbon, and there was a black key lying inside.

This is...... She felt familiar.

"I've signed you up for a driving school, go to class in your free time, remember to wait for your driver's license before you hit the road."

This is the key to the motorcycle that Lin Zuzu rode when he sent the elves back to the return point! Although it was very short, Lin Zuzu liked the feeling of controlling the speed and moving forward against the wind.

I thought the motorcycle had been scrapped...... I didn't expect my sister to remember it!

"Thank you, sister!" Lin Zuzu hurriedly put the key in his pocket, thinking that he was going to try it tonight, and directly left the advice of the royal sister behind.

Li Qing sent a knife maintenance kit, which looks exactly the same as what he usually uses, and it also comes with a maintenance guide, which is just right for novices.

"Thank you, Brother Qing."

Lin Zuzu has done the most maintenance of the knife before is to wipe it clean, mainly with her current strength, to ensure that the unified standard long knife in the team has not been broken or almost meaningless.

Perhaps, we have to see if we want to buy a good knife.

As she thought about it, Ittingevil raised a long knife in front of her.

The scabbard is not decorated, and the handle is decorated with auspicious cloud patterns, embellished with agate and turquoise, which looks very delicate.

"The name of this knife is "Xingyun", the total length is 113, the blade length is 72cm, the handle is 41cm, and the weight is 1.37kg. He placed the knife in her hand. "I hope you'll be able to treat it well in the future."

Lin Zuzu was stunned, and then said with a smile: "I...... Thank You, Master! ”

She couldn't wait to pull out a piece and find out—it was really sharp and cold.

Seeing her happy appearance, Yi Tingxie unconsciously curled the corners of his mouth.

The girl's strength is slightly weaker, but the control is precise, and some moves can be changed to a two-handed knife to make up for her own shortcomings. Coupled with the fact that this knife is a bit lighter than the standard long knife, she can exert more speed.

"The captain is really a big deal." Li Qing muttered to himself.

"Huh?" Yan Ying'er on the side didn't know what to do, after all, in Team 1, B-level weapons were commonplace.

"This is a gift that the captain received when he broke through the B rank, it is a good B-rank sword, and it is the work of the "Shi" clan of the forging family." Li Qing had been thinking before, it was a pity that this good knife had been sealed, and it was really good to be able to use it again now, and it was still very compatible with the girl.

"I see." Seeing that the gift was finished, Yan Yinger clapped her hands excitedly and shouted: "Come on, come on, drink~"

……

Except for the underage Liang Wen and Lin Qi, everyone else drank more or less, and even Lin Zuzu, who had just become an adult, was pressed by Yan Yinger to join the ranks.

"Try it, try it~It's dry in one bite~"

The girl had no choice but to raise her head and drink the transparent liquid in front of her that exuded a strange aroma.

The liquor entered his throat, and his mouth was full of spicy sensation and a hint of fragrance, and the invasion of the high alcohol was so frightened that Nuo almost broke out.

Lin Zuzu didn't understand why so many people liked such a bad thing, but fortunately, with Nuo acting as a hangover enzyme, she was able to stay conscious.

After three rounds of drinking, Lin Zuzu, who was taken care of, still felt hot on her face, and she escaped to the balcony under the pretext of going to the toilet while everyone was not paying attention.

Finally getting a chance to breathe, Lin Zuzu sent a message to thank the two martial artists who were not present, and at the same time clicked on the cat's eye avatar with two red dots.

"Miss Lin, happy birthday ~ Sugar Candy Super Sweet and Hongji Office will send two discount coupons" At the same time, a cute kiss emoji made by Tanuki Cat Candy was attached.

Hongji is engaged in intelligence work in the end, and it is not a problem to collect the basic information of the girl.

"Then thank you Boss Red." She smiled helplessly.

Lin Zuzu leaned against the eaves of the balcony, and the night breeze was gentle, blowing away a lot of heat.

"Happy birthday." A sentence came out of nowhere.

It could feel the turmoil in the host's heart when these words came out.

Although it does not fully understand the importance of this day, it says so. The very fact that the host is happy makes it happy.

"Thank you, Yan." Lin Zuzu thanked him from the bottom of his heart.

Since her father disappeared and her mother was lost, she never thought that she was born in the world, and it has been the same until now.

But only at this moment did she briefly rejoice in her presence.

If she doesn't exist, then ...... She will not be able to feel this kindness, this warmth.

"But...... What does birthday mean?" Yan asked hesitantly, it rarely does.

"You don't even know that? It's the day I was born~" Nono explained triumphantly.

"And when is your birthday?"

"I—I...... It's just ......" This time it can be asked, if there is an entity, it should have a red face.

"July 10th." Lin Zuzu relieved this child who refused to admit defeat.

"Hehe, I'll just say~ I must have a birthday~"

"Also, it's October 15th."

"Why this day?"

"This is the day I met you separately, and even though you couldn't communicate with me at that time, I am grateful for your presence. So, I'll remember that day next year." If I had been alive then.

"Hehe, I'm going to have a birthday next year~ Oh, happy birthday, stupid woman~"

"......" Yan fell silent again, and only the two fools were still complacent.

In the middle of the ring, the sensitive child said, "But we don't have a present."

"I think another meaning of a birthday is that the birther itself is a great gift for someone who values it."

"I mean—"

Lin Zuzu turned to look at the lively scene in the living room.

Lin Qi, who was sleepy, had been sent back to his room, he was very tired from the day's training, and now it was time for the child to sleep.

Liang Wen blushed and thanked Li Qing for inquiring about the girl's preferences in advance, and the heroic young man touched his head embarrassedly, and then poured a sip of beer.

Yan Yinger and Li Qin fought for wine, but the two people with almost opposite personalities unexpectedly did not admit defeat in terms of the amount of alcohol, although Li Qin, who still seemed to be a thousand glasses, was better. However, the bright and lively and cold restraint appeared at the same time, and the scene was really eye-catching.

"Your presence is the best gift I have ever received."

Then, there was a hint of satisfaction in the bottom of my heart, and the guilty child seemed to finally untie the knot.

This moment is too beautiful, which makes Lin Zuzu feel a little unreal, and she even feels a trace of fear, as if she has seen the scene of this picture being shattered.

Suddenly, a gaze interrupted her thoughts, and she looked up at the Eatin evil cast.

The man didn't panic at the discovery of his gaze, he just smiled and raised his glass to the girl, motioning for her to come back into the crowd.

Lin Zuzu was stunned for a moment, and then his gaze softened.

For no apparent reason, she remembered a word.

Aspiration......

She found that she had more things to ask for, and she didn't want to do this, but at the moment she couldn't help but think about it.

If only one more wish......

If God could make her greedily make a second wish for the sake of not having a birthday or making a wish in six years......

She wants to—

There is still a chance to be like today.

It doesn't matter who it's celebrating or whatever, as long as we can get together.

If this is the direction of the future of vengeance, if there are sinful people who have atoned for their sins, the world will be so warm......

She found herself happy to live in such a world, to live in ...... around these people.

That's all.
