Chapter Twenty-Four: Shiraishi's Birthday
April 14 is Shiraishi's 18th birthday, and three years ago, Phantom wanted to give Shiraishi a special birthday present, but gave up because of an accident. This time it was Shiraishi's birthday, so she decided that she had to give him a special gift.
Because she knew that Phantom Glass was busy with her books, Bai Shi didn't bother her these days, and in the blink of an eye, on April 14, Bai Shi hesitated whether to find Phantom Glass out for dinner to celebrate his birthday.
Just as Shiraishi was about to call Phantom Glass, Xiaojin called.
"Baishi Baishi, come and help, I'm lost again, there are so many trees here, I don't know where they are!"
From Xiao Jin's messy description, Bai Shi finally determined that Xiao Jin had run to a mountain a little far away, and he helplessly told Xiao Jin to stand there obediently and wait for him, and then went out to pick up Xiao Jin.
Bai Shi rushed to the place where Xiao Jin said, but he didn't see Xiao Jin, he took out the phone suspiciously and was about to call Xiao Jin, suddenly, there was a sound of pulling the colored paper tube around, and then he was overwhelmed by the flying colored paper.
Kenya, Chitose, Kogane, Koharu, Yuji, Ishida, and coach Osamu Watanabe, who was holding a piece of grass and wearing a hat, walked out, and everyone smiled and said to Shiraishi, "Happy birthday, Shiraishi!" ”
"You ......" Seeing everyone, Baishi suddenly understood that Xiaojin said that getting lost was to deceive himself, and everyone's surprise made Baishi full of emotion.
"Yuji, Shiraishi is moved, I'm going to cry, I'm going to cry!" Koharu said to Yuji.
"How could Shiraishi cry? Do you think it's you? Yuji complained without hesitation.
"Huh? Honey, do you dislike me? 555555, Shiraishi, I'm going to love you. Koharu burst into tears.
Yuji tore Koharu's clothes and yelled, "Stealing people again? Do you want to die? ”
Watching the two of them perform in a black line, Chitose and Ishida came over and said, "Ignore them, they're hopeless!" Happy birthday, Shiraishi. ”
"Ah, thank you."
Xiao Jin jumped over, took Bai Shi's hand and said, "Bai Shi, I have a gift for you!" ”
Baishi touched Xiao Jin's head funny and asked, "Xiao Jin, what are you going to give me?" ”
Xiao Jin didn't answer, but suddenly ran away, and then pulled out the phantom glass that was hiding on the side and pulled it in front of Bai Shi.
"Shiraishi, this is my gift!"
As soon as Xiao Jin's words fell, everyone covered their mouths and began to snicker, the corners of the phantom glass twitched, and Bai Shi couldn't help but be a little excited while his head was full of black lines.
"Xiaojie, don't listen to Xiaojin's nonsense!" Phantom Glass hurriedly waved at Bai Shi to explain, turned to Xiao Jin and said, "How can anyone give a real person as a gift?" Besides, how can you decide who to give me to? Stupid little gold! With that, Phantom Glass stepped aside to get his gift.
"Didn't you ask me what Shiraishi likes best? Shiraishi's favorite is you, what don't you send? Kim muttered under his breath.
Bai Shi was close, and naturally heard Xiao Jin's words, he touched Xiao Jin's head funny, lowered his head and whispered in his ear: "Xiao Jin, thank you, I like your gift very much." ”
"Really?" Xiao Jin immediately regained his lively appearance, and said excitedly: "Then you want to treat me to delicious food!" ”
"Well, okay, I'll definitely ask you, but you have to keep what you said just now a secret!"
"Huh? Why? ”
"Little Golden ......" Shiraishi didn't explain, but slowly raised his bandaged left hand.
"Ahh Don't poison me! Xiao Jin was so frightened that he was still afraid of Baishi's "poisonous hand" when he was already a freshman in high school.
"Kosuke, what did Kim do? How is this happening again? Phantom Glass, who came with a gift, saw Xiao Jin's appearance and asked Baishi strangely.
"Ah, it's nothing, tease him." After Bai Shi finished speaking, he glared at Xiao Jin. 、
After understanding the threat in Bai Shi's eyes, Xiao Jin immediately nodded like pounding garlic, "Mmmm, let's have a joke!" Xiaoli, is this your gift? Can I take a look? ”
"Naturally, the birthday gift has to be opened by the birthday star himself, so you can't look at it, Xiaojin." Phantom Glass smiled and handed the gift to Shiraishi and said, "Kosuke, happy birthday!" Open it up and take a look. ”
It was a rectangular box, beautifully packaged, not heavy, Shiraishi shook the box gently, he didn't hear the sound of the item shaking, he couldn't guess what was inside. Shiraishi slowly untied the ribbon on the box and opened the box under the curious eyes of everyone.
"This is ......" Looking at a small pair of cross-stitches in the box that was obviously his own Q version, Shiraishi was speechless.
"I bought this cross-stitch three years ago, and I couldn't see it at that time, so I asked Xiaoxiang to draw your Q version image, and then she helped me lay the lattice and divide the colors of various threads. At that time, I wanted to embroider it and give it to you on your birthday, but I didn't expect that I would sleep for three years. At that time, I was slowly halfway done, and I finished the rest in the past few days. I'll have very few things, so ...... Don't mind. Phantom Glass explained embarrassedly.
This cross-stitch was discovered when she was flipping through things a few days ago, and then she remembered that it was intended for Baishi, but it was delayed later. Looking at the messy threads she had embroidered before, she dismantled them all and re-embroidered them, and stayed up all night to finish the cross-stitch before Shiraishi's birthday.
Only then did Shiraishi notice that there were deep dark circles near Phantom Glass's eyes, and it seemed that she hadn't slept well at all in the past few days, so she was busy embroidering. Remembering what the doctor said to her to protect her eyes, Bai Shi said distressedly: "Embroidering things hurts your eyes, your eyes have just recovered for a long time, how can you stay up late embroidering things?" ”
"That...... Once in a while, it's fine! By the way, Kosuke, do you like it? Phantom Glass, who knew that he was in the wrong, quickly changed the topic.
Shiraishi cherished the cross-stitch and carefully put it in the box, and then said to Phantom Glass with gratitude: "It's beautiful, I like it very much, thank you, Xiaoli." "It was the best birthday present he ever received and he will definitely keep it with all his heart.
"If you like it, hehe, by the way, your teammates have gifts for you!" Hearing Baishi say that she liked it, Phantom Li finally breathed a sigh of relief, she was afraid that Baishi would dislike it.
Only then did everyone step forward and hand Shiraishi their gifts, Kogan gave a few sushi restaurant coupons, Kenya gave a book on plants, Koharu and Yuji gave a CD, Chisato gave a Mimori cat, Ishida gave a tensile device to practice arm strength, and Watanabe Shu, who was the most picky, said that he wanted to invite Shiraishi to eat running water somen noodles, which caused everyone to boo.
Shiraishi naturally wouldn't let Osamu Watanabe treat him, he paid for everyone to go to the barbecue restaurant for a big meal, and the birthday should have been invited to dinner.
After eating, everyone said goodbye and went home, Xiao Jin was going to take Phantom Glass to visit the night market, but was dragged away by Qianye, and in the end, only Baishi and Phantom Glass remained.
"Xiaoli, I'll send you back." Shiraishi is very happy today, and this birthday is enough for him to remember for a lifetime.
"Kosuke, you're not in a hurry to go home, are you?" After getting Shiraishi's nod, Phantom Glass suddenly smiled slyly, "Then, follow me to a place!" ”
This meal has been eaten for a long time, so it is now the beginning of the day. The weather in mid-April was still a little cool, and Shiraishi saw that Phantom Glass was not wearing much, so he took off his coat and draped it over her. Phantom Glass is very accepting of Shiraishi and Yanagi's concern, so he smiles at Shiraishi and takes him forward with his coat.
The two walked to the small park near Phantom Glass's house, and Phantom Glass stopped and asked Shiraishi, "Kosuke, do you remember this place?" ”
Shiraishi chuckled and replied, "Of course I remember, I remember that you came here every morning to do exercises when you were blind, and that time you were pushed down by Qing Shui. ”
"Well, it's good that you came, or maybe I'd be beaten up by her! Hehe, then we always come here for morning luck. Thinking of what happened back then, Phantom Glass couldn't help but chuckle.
"yes, you brought me here to reminisce about the past?"
"Of course not, here's my second gift for you." Phantom Glass turned her head and smiled slyly at Shiraishi.
Shiraishi was puzzled and was about to speak, but was stopped by Phantom Glass, she raised her hand to look at her watch, and then began to count down: "10, 9, 8, 7...... 1. Happy birthday Kosuke! ”
As soon as the phantom glass voice fell, I saw that a lot of lights suddenly lit up in the park, and then the fountain in the fountain suddenly spewed out, and it turned out to be a musical fountain, and the background music was "Happy Birthday Song". The fountain rises and falls to the rhythm of the music, the water droplets splash, and the colorful lights make Shiraishi stunned for a moment.
"Xiaoli, this is ......" After a long while, Shiraishi came back to his senses, he looked at Phantom Glass in surprise, how could he never know that there was a musical fountain here?
"This musical fountain is newly built, and it hasn't been officially put into use yet, so today is the first time to meet us." Phantom Glass said with a smile.
"So how do you get it to work? Still timing it so well? ”
"Hehe, the son of Uncle Eguchi, the owner of the noodle restaurant where I always go to eat noodles, happens to be the person in charge of this park, and I also know from him that there is a musical fountain here. So I asked him for help, and said that I would use the birthday song as the background to open the music fountain at nine o'clock tonight, hehe, do you like it? Phantom Glass omitted how many good things she said before the other party agreed, just an understatement.
How sharp Shiraishi was, he naturally knew that it wouldn't be as simple as Phantom Glass said. In the face of such a phantom glass, Shiraishi felt that the feelings in his heart could no longer be controlled, and they would gush out at any time. He suddenly stepped forward, hugged Phantom Glass, and said faintly: "Xiaoli, thank you......"
Phantom Glass was stunned by Baishi's sudden hug, and then he thought about it, and it was very common for friends to hug or something. She smiled and gently patted Baishi's back and said, "Well, you're welcome, you can like this gift that has been delayed for three years." ”
Shiraishi hugged Phantom Glass tightly and was silent for a long time.
Xiaoli, I naturally like these gifts, but what I like more is you who give me gifts, can you understand my heart? Xiaoli, I like you......
