After Lin Nanzhi stood up and finished speaking, he was ready to go home. At the same time, Cheng Zaiyou saw that it was getting late, so he also planned to leave together.
"Lin Bureau, Captain Cheng, you two walk slowly on the road."
"Okay, it's getting late. You should go to bed early and don't forget about tomorrow."
"OK."
After Lin Nanzhi and the others left, Ying Chumei tidied up briefly, and then went to bed and fell asleep.
…
In the early morning of the next day, the sound of the alarm clock brought Jiang Qinian from his dream to reality. He also sat up and slowly rubbed his eyebrows.
I don’t know why, but in my dreams last night I always vaguely saw an abandoned amusement park in the fog, and there was a dirty clown standing there at the entrance of the amusement park, holding a black balloon in his hand.
, waving at himself strangely.
He always felt like he had seen this scene before somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while, so he just felt that he had been thinking about it day and night, and he had forgotten it in the blink of an eye.
After briefly washing up, he saw Wu Ruonan standing in the living room with a smile on his face, and there seemed to be something deeper in his smile.
"What's wrong Ruonan, what's the matter?"
Seeing this, Jiang Qinian asked curiously.
But Wu Ruonan did not speak, he just bent down and made an invitation gesture, while winking at him slyly.
Although he felt a little baffled, he still scratched his head, then turned and walked out the door, wanting to see what this little girl was planning.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Ying Chumei standing outside, holding a large cake box in her hand.
"Happy birthday!"
"Bang bang!"
Suddenly, Luo Qiuying and Wu Ruonan emerged from the grass behind him and to the side respectively, holding two small salutes in their hands.
Behind Ying Chumei, Cheng Zaiyou, Lin Nanzhi and Su Yue also leaned out from behind, and then they all blessed Jiang Qi Nian:
"Happy eighteen!"
"This is……"
Although he was very surprised, he was really a little confused and didn't know why these people suddenly wanted to celebrate his birthday.
At this time, Ying Chumei also saw his doubts, so she stepped forward to explain:
"The day you came out of the City of Obsession happened to be your eighteenth birthday. Later, you either fell into a coma or found out that you had been tampered with, so you never had time to celebrate.
Now that most of the problems have been solved, I feel that even if it is postponed for a day or two, there will always be a ceremony, and this is your eighteenth-year-old adult ceremony, so it is really unreasonable not to celebrate.
After all, I don’t want to be accused of molesting a minor.”
"Thanks……"
"Okay, let's go in and eat quickly. Everyone is hungry in the morning to celebrate your birthday."
Seeing this, Ying Chumei patted him on the shoulder and then carried the cake into the house.
Jiang Qinian reacted and quickly invited Lin Nanzhi and others to come into the house to rest.
"Sorry, sorry, I was negligent. Seniors, please come in quickly."
"Okay, don't be so polite, you are the birthday boy today, so there is no director or captain here, everything is up to you!"
With that said, several people walked into the house, and the frowning Cheng Zaiyou had no choice but to follow behind with a big bag of food, which made Jiang Qinian couldn't help but want to laugh for a while.
"Captain Cheng, let me get some for you."
"Okay, kid, what a big deal, you can just take a few steps and you'll be there in the blink of an eye!"
While talking, Cheng Zaiyou also smiled and patted Jiang Qinian. Although Jiang Qinian was not needed in the end, he felt comfortable.
After entering the room, a few people cleared the dining table while chatting. After the steaming meals were placed on the table, Lin Nanzhi was the first to speak:
"Originally, we planned to celebrate your birthday at night, but then we thought that you and Hatsume were going to an amusement park, so we couldn't stay outside at night.
I ate it, so I changed the time to the morning, I hope you don’t mind.”
"It's okay, Forest Bureau. I'm very grateful to everyone for celebrating my birthday. Why do you dare to ask for too much?"
"Hahahaha, okay, how about we take the first step first?"
As he spoke, Cheng Zaiyou also pursed his lips, seeming to indicate something.
After receiving the signal, Ying Chumei also took out a colorful ribbon from her pocket and covered Jiang Qinian's eyes.
"What is this going to do?"
"Of course it's a wish. You can get many, many gifts by making a wish. Then when you open your eyes, your wish may come true?"
Do you think so?"
Understanding the meaning of Ying Chumei's words, he curled up the corners of his mouth and sat there in cooperation, motionless.
Then, Ying Chumei opened the cake, lit the candles, and urged him to make a wish quickly.
Looking at the dim firelight in front of him, Jiang Qinian felt that his heart seemed to be warming up. The candle was just an ordinary candle, but the warmth was due to the company of everyone.
"What would be a good wish to make?
Then I hope everyone is safe and can live together happily like this.
Including Hatsume and I, we have always wanted to be together forever..."
Thinking of this, he also blew out the candles with a "hoo" sound. At the same time, the applause from the surroundings also came. Along with the beautiful blessings, the young man's soul seemed to have found its destination.
"Can this be taken down?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Qinian felt his eyes light up and his vision regained its brightness.
Immediately afterwards, Ying Chumei took out a small purse embroidered with patterns. It was bulging and seemed to contain something.
"Actually, I have always been very confused about giving gifts. You rarely show your obvious liking for something, so this has always given me a headache.
I bought you clothes and shoes. Our Meteorological Bureau is very generous with the money, and I also have a good salary. I already have a car and a house, so I thought it would be more appropriate to give you a thoughtful gift.
After all, the most important thing about giving a gift is not the gift itself, but the intention it represents.”
I saw Ying Chumei gently opening her purse, and then taking out a wooden sign inlaid with jade. The wooden sign looked very exquisitely made, and there was a faint scent of rosin that was refreshing.
On the front, there is also a vivid koi carving carved on it, which looks lifelike, as if it will come to life in the next second.
"When I went to buy tickets yesterday, I saw a Taoist temple on the road, so I stopped by and prayed for a blessing of peace as a birthday gift for you."
Looking at the peace blessing filled with the girl's love, Jiang Qinian carefully took it over and then put it around his neck.
Gently stroking Ping Anfu on his chest, he seemed to feel a warmth flowing slowly there.
"Thank you, I love it. This is the best birthday gift I have ever received."
"Oh, this girl is so thoughtful that she even makes me feel embarrassed to take out my gift!"
Suddenly, Cheng Zaiyou wailed, causing everyone to laugh again.
Ying Chumei is Jiang Qinian's boyfriend, so she will naturally give the first gift first, but who will give it first... Several people didn't know what to do. In the end, it was Luo Qiuying who said to Lin Nanzhi:
"Even if there is no director or captain here today, you are still the boss of us, so you should come first!"
After that, Lin Nanzhi said jokingly:
"Okay, then I'll be disrespectful."
Then he turned around and persuaded Cheng Zai:
"Look at how sensible Xiao Ying is. It's only a matter of time before an employee like this gets a promotion or a salary increase? It's not like you know nothing but misery, and you're just waiting to be led to wear your shoes in the future!"
"Well... that... I was actually planning to say that, but she beat me to it..."
While talking
Then, Cheng Zaiyou gouged out Luo Qiuying, but Luo Qiuying was also nonchalant and stuck out her tongue naughtily.
"Okay, okay, be honest and don't steal the spotlight from the birthday girl.
Well, pray for good harvest, this is my gift to you."
Looking at the small sword in Lin Nanzhi's hand, everyone's eyes also showed a look of shock.
"This is……"
"Zhen Ling!!!"
"The boss actually brought out all these things!"
"A priceless treasure!"
After listening to the gossip of several people, Jiang Qinian understood the value of this item, but since Lin Nanzhi had already taken it out, it would be inappropriate for him to pretend to be pretentious, so after bowing to Lin Nanzhi, he received it solemnly.
in hand.
The sword was only the size of a palm, but its shape looked like a feather, and the divine aura on it was extremely strong. If Lin Nanzhi hadn't deliberately controlled it, it would have destroyed the entire house in an instant!
"Thank you, Forest Bureau. I am very grateful."
With that said, Jiang Qinian bowed again.
Although I don't know what the specific function of this thing is, I can tell just by the aura on it that this sword is absolutely extraordinary. Even a strong man like Lin Nanzhi would not be able to take it out casually.
"Boy, you have to keep this thing!
This is a true feather taken from the contract signed by the Forest Bureau. Only this kind of treasure can be condensed into one, and it has been forged by the Forest Bureau himself into the shape of a sword in the palm, and it is wielded with the aura of the divine realm. It is definitely a rare thing.
The treasure you got!"
After Cheng Zaiyou explained to him, he asked Lin Nanzhi as if taking credit:
"Boss, what do you think of my performance?!"
"Well... not bad, I won't deduct your salary this month!"
When he finished speaking, he left Cheng Zaiyou, who was about to cry without tears, and ignored him. Instead, he turned to Jiang Qinian and said:
"Since Captain Cheng has explained it clearly to you, I won't waste any more words.
However, this treasure is more than just a weapon, but I won't explain its specific function. They say it will send Buddha to the West, but I think that the master will bring it in, and cultivation depends on oneself.
It's not that I don't want to help you, but you should also know that some things are only yours if you truly understand them thoroughly. You can rely on others to break them into pieces and stuff them into you. Even if you hold them in your hands, they are still yours.
Unstable.
I really rarely give gifts to people, so instead of giving a decoration, it would be more practical to give you a treasure.
So I hope you like it and don't let me live up to my expectations for you!
Maybe one day when you are happy, the position of director will be yours?"
