Chapter 44: Happy Birthday!
In a daze, Jiang Xiaoli felt a little dry mouth.
"Water...... Water ......"
She reached out and fumbled on the bedside table.
After fumbling for a long time, she realized that she had not brought water into the room at all.
The kitten lady sat up with her eyes half-open, swaying and sitting up, looking left and right in confusion, and the CPU turned for a long time before she reacted slightly.
I'm in a modern room now......
It was pitch black in the room, and the sun had already set outside.
From time to time, there was the sound of car horns on the street outside the window, and the empty room suddenly made Jiang Xiaoli's heart feel a strong sense of loneliness.
It was as if she was the only one left in the world.
It seems that even the world is refusing to communicate with her.
Inexplicably, Jiang Xiaoli suddenly felt a little scared, afraid that she was the only one left here.
She hurriedly stuffed her feet into her slippers, and shouted out of the room as she got out of bed:
"Stinky Jiangli!"
After a long time, there was no response outside the door.
Jiang Xiaoli bit her lip and called out to Jiang Li again.
"Jiang Li!"
However, all she received was the cacophony of horns in the streets.
The kitten opened the door and poked her head out to look at the dark living room.
There seemed to be no one in the living room, and there were a lot of balloons on the floor.
"Jiang Li? Are you there? β
Her voice trembled a little, Jiang Li didn't seem to be at home, and she inexplicably began to fear that she was the only one left in the family.
With the cat lady's strong night vision ability, Jiang Xiaoli walked to the switch of the light in the living room.
Even if this little darkness doesn't affect her, it's more reassuring to turn on the light.
At the moment when the living room lit up.
Bang β
Instinctively, Jiang Xiaoli made a defensive move.
But what caught the eye was Jiang Li's smiling appearance holding a small salute, and the ribbons slowly falling from the sky.
"Happy Birthday!"
After Jiang Li said this, he met the slightly dull eyes of the little cat lady.
After a long time, there were water waves flowing in Jiang Xiaoli's big red eyes, and then gradually uncontrolled, tears burst out of her eyes.
"Eh, why are you crying?!"
Jiang Li didn't expect this girl's reaction at all, and she was confused for a while.
He scrambled to pull out a tissue from the side and clumsily wiped it on her face.
"You, why don't you make a noise at home!"
Jiang Xiaoli snorted and looked at Jiang Li with teary eyes.
Jiang Li was stunned.
"I want to surprise you...... Because it's your birthday......"
"I, I woke up like ......there was no one at home," Jiang Xiaoli tearfully told the other party how she felt after waking up in the afternoon.
After listening to this, Jiang Li only felt a little crying and laughing.
Good guy, I just happened to bump into the kitten's nap sadness syndrome.
Looking at the tears that kept dripping from her face, Jiang Li hurriedly comforted:
"I feel this way sometimes, you see, am I not at home? And this is our home, where else can I go. β
"But...... I just can't help ......"
Jiang Xiaoli didn't know why she had that feeling of being abandoned by the whole world, and she couldn't control that emo emotion for a while, until she saw Jiang Li, this emotion was slightly relieved.
"Okay, okay, today is your birthday, the birthday star is crying, what does it look like."
Jiang Li stretched out his hand and rubbed it on the top of the kitten girl's head.
She surprisingly didn't resist.
"Birthday?"
Jiang Xiaoli then remembered that when Jiang Li jumped out from the side before, he said happy birthday.
After looking around, she realized that there were many balloons hanging on the wall, posing in the shape of 19.
Even the ground in the house is full of balloons, large and small.
"How do you know it's my birthday?"
Jiang Xiaoli felt an unknown throbbing in the depths of her heart.
She didn't even realize it was her birthday.
"Is there anything about you that I don't know?"
Jiang Li asked with a smile.
Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoli's little face turned red all of a sudden, and she knew what the other party was referring to.
"Perverted, perverted ......"
The kitten girl looked down, and then she saw the balloons on the ground, and she pouted.
"It's a birthday...... So many balloons...... It's going to take a lot of effort to clean up......"
Touching his head, Jiang Li smiled.
"Your first birthday in modern times, of course you have to have a better time, clean up and stuff, I'll just come."
Looking at Jiang Li's appearance, Jiang Xiaoli was a little distracted.
What Jiang Li didn't know was that she hadn't had a birthday since she embarked on her journey.
Although she remembered what her birthday was and how old she was this year, the heavy responsibility made her have no time to take care of her birthday and emotions.
Jiang Xiaoli's nose was a little sour.
"By the way, look at your game account."
Jiang Li turned on the computer monitor, and the little cat girl's account was still logged in, but the characters on it were slightly different.
The profession is still samurai.
It's just that a cloth dress has been replaced with a black and red kimono, and there is a sword hanging from her waist, which is very similar to the appearance when she just crossed over.
Jiang Xiaoli was stunned, she stared blankly at the computer screen with her hands on her chest, a proud cat lady samurai.
γDing! Heartbeat +1! Current heart rate: 21. γ
"It's a birthday present for you."
Ignoring the system's prompt tone, Jiang Li just scratched his cheeks a little embarrassed.
"To be honest, when I remember your birthday, it's too late to buy gifts online, and I don't know what to buy when I go out to buy things......
β......β
Jiang Xiaoli didn't say a word, staring directly at the computer screen, and finally couldn't suppress the emotions in her heart, and the corners of her eyes slowly seeped out.
"Thank you......"
There was a slight cry in her voice.
"Hey, hey, why are you crying again!"
Jiang Li panicked again.
I just coaxed her, why did I cry again when I saw this equipment?!
He couldn't see a girl shed tears.
"I, I'm so happy."
Jiang Xiaoli wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"I haven't had a birthday in 10 years...... No one remembers my birthday except my parents...... Not to mention a birthday present or something......"
I didn't expect that everything that I had forgotten by myself, this stupid, stupid, and somewhat lustful guy could actually remember it.
"That's why I'm going to give you this birthday."
Jiang Li smiled and pointed to the dining table.
"Oh, it's all your favorite food, don't cry, the little black cat is going to become a little flower cat."
Looking in the direction of his finger, Jiang Xiaoli saw a table full of sumptuous dishes, as well as the pink strawberry cake in the middle of the table.
A whole circle of strawberries was placed on top of the cake, and it was written with white cream in the middle: Happy birthday Jiang Xiaoli!
γDing! Heartbeat +1! Current heart rate: 22. γ
The heart rate rose by 1 point again.
At the same time, the little cat lady smelled it, and the sweetness she smelled in the morning was not eating egg yolk pie at all as Jiang Li said, but that this guy had already hidden this cake at home.
"Eat quickly, birthday, if you don't eat it, it's going to be cold."
Jiang Li grabbed Jiang Xiaoli and pressed her to the chair.
After all, there are still some ritualistic things to do before eating.
He unwrapped the cake with a smile, and then tore the plastic film containing the candles, he wanted to light a birthday candle for his cute little kitten.
The candle is a very user-friendly Arabic numeral one to nine, which perfectly avoids the embarrassment of inserting the cake with a thousand holes.
Jiang Li picked out one and nine of them and inserted them on the cake, avoiding the blessings written in cream on the cake.
After taking the lighter from the kitchen drawer and lighting the candle, he got up and turned out the lights in the room.
For a moment, there was silence in the living room.
Seeing the flickering fire on the dining table, Little Coffee couldn't help but lean over and tilt her head to observe the two two-legged beasts.
The balloons at home were all solved by Gu Pingsheng and Lin Zhanwang, and Jiang Li had originally considered letting them come together to celebrate the kitten's birthday, but one happened to have customers, and the other had to work overtime.
What's more, Jiang Xiaoli still has cat ears and cat tails, plus this is her first birthday.
It's better for the two of them.
When she can hide the characteristics of the cat lady, it doesn't hurt to call those bad friends again.
The orange-yellow candlelight danced on the dining table, and the warm light reflected on the faces of the two people sitting opposite each other.
"Birthday wishes or something...... It should be the same in your world, right? β
Jiang Li raised his cheeks and looked at Jiang Xiaoli's pretty face in the warm light.
The kitten nodded.
"It should be the same...... Right? After lighting a candle and closing your eyes to make a wish? β
She tilted her head, trying to remember the scene of her previous birthday.
It's been so long ago that my memories are a little blurry.
"What should I wish for......?"
She had already made a wish in Sushan Temple before, and now she didn't know what kind of wish she should have for a while.
Jiang Li thought for a moment.
"For example, having a husband as handsome as me?"
It was rare that Jiang Xiaoli didn't go berserk, but just rolled her eyes.
"I can really put gold on my face, and I am not ashamed."
"To tell you the truth, is it necessary to be ashamed?"
Jiang Li's face was far thicker than he imagined, the corners of the little kitten's mouth twitched, and she didn't know how to reply to Jiang Li's boast for a while, so she simply closed her eyes and made her wish.
Her wishes are mundane.
I hope to be so happy every day in the future.
Stinky Jiangli is too, and in the future, he will be like now, happy and happy.
Forever and ever.
