She hurriedly pulled out her phone, and the date clearly showed November 11th.
She has not celebrated her birthday for many years since she chose to live alone.
"Hahaha, let me tell you, she will definitely appear like this!" Yan Ying'er patted Li Qing's shoulder and said carelessly, "You have to compete with me later."
Li Qing nodded helplessly, thinking that he had the upper hand by fighting with swords and fists.
Yi Tingxie lit the candles with a smile, while Li Qin prepared the knives and dishes for cutting the cake, and Lin Qi obediently helped.
"Zuzu." Liang Wen called, her cheeks slightly red. "Come over and make a wish."
It was her barrier that brought this surprise to the sensitive girl.
Lin Zuzu smiled, walked over, and was surrounded by everyone in the center.
During the birthday song that was neither neat nor beautiful, Lin Zuzu closed his eyes.
Wish...
Her biggest wish in this life will never change, and she is unswervingly walking on the road to realize this wish.
Lin Zuzu opened his eyes and blew out the candle without hesitation.
The atmosphere reached its climax in an instant, and Yan Ying'er cheered and clapped.
Lin Zuzu divided the cake for everyone and took the first bite under Liang Wen's expectant eyes.
"Is it delicious?" the white rabbit girl asked shyly.
The cake uses watermelon as the fruit filling, and the flavors are well blended, which is unexpectedly delicious.
Lin Zuzu nodded and praised: "Which cake shop did you buy it from?"
Suddenly, Liang Wen's face turned redder, and he was speechless for a moment.
"Liang Wen made this by himself." Li Qing hurriedly interjected.
"Thank you Xiaowen, it's really delicious. I like watermelon very much." Lin Zuzu quickly thanked him.
At this time of year, Liang Wen must have spent a lot of effort to find delicious watermelons.
The white rabbit girl nodded happily, and then looked at Li Qing happily.
This time, Lin Zuzu seemed to understand something.
These two people...at least they were added on WeChat.
"Hey, look at me~" Yan Ying'er squeezed over with a large black suitcase in one hand.
Lin Zuzu was prepared and picked it up with both hands, but her arms were still almost bent. She lifted it with all her strength and barely let the box hit the floor.
Yan Ying'er waited expectantly for the birthday boy to open the box.
Lin Zuzu smiled sheepishly, then flattened and opened the box. Inside was a set of strength training dumbbells, with various weights.
"I know you are very good at speed and explosiveness. If you increase your strength..." Yan Ying'er doesn't care about the competition between the teams at all. She just wants to have one more strong opponent with whom to compete.
It's really Yan Ying'er's style... Wait, she was using one hand just now... Maybe strength 10 is the limit of the score, not her limit.
"Thank you Yinger, I will use it."
"Also." Yan Ying'er handed over another bouquet of lilies that represented gratitude. "It's from Brother Qi."
Qi Tianyang had a mission and couldn't leave. As a representative of straight men, he struggled with the clerk who tried hard to sell 99 roses or blue enchantress for a long time before he chose the right flower.
Lin Zuzu quickly closed the box and reached out to take it.
"This is Xiaoyou's." Yan Ying'er handed over another scroll.
Lin Zuzu unfolded it carefully, and there were eight big characters written neatly on it in regular script - "Everything goes smoothly, everything goes well, and everyone gets what they want." The inscription was Hui Wu.
The calligraphy is smooth and peaceful, with a sense of tranquility. And this "Hui Wu" may be the Taoist title of You Zi Zhao.
The little Taoist priest who had just come down from the mountain was short of money. Before he officially joined the action team, his income was only the subsidies given to newcomers at the training ground.
The girl rolled up the scroll again and saw Lin Qi twisting his hands behind his back.
"Did Xiao Qi also prepare a gift?" Lin Zuzu asked gently.
"This kid has been preparing for a long time." Although Li Qing couldn't stand the boy, he still pushed him.
So, Lin Qi carefully held many small objects and raised them in front of the girl.
There were expensive chocolates that had been opened, a brown paper bag that seemed to contain pills and a greeting card. The most eye-catching thing among them was the dart that he couldn't put down. It was given to him by his master Zheng Mu.
Lin Qi brought out everything he thought was the best, and there was nothing hidden in his sincerity.
Lin Zuzu was a little moved, and said with a tight throat: "There are too many, can I take this one first? Can you give me the others next year?"
As she spoke, she picked up the greeting card.
There are two little people painted on it with childish brushstrokes, a girl with long black hair holding a slightly short boy. There is no written blessing, it seems that his cultural class is not as good as practicing martial arts.
"Thank you, Xiaoqi. I like it very much, really..." Lin Zuzu hugged the boy and patted him gently.
Lin Qi was stiff again, but quickly relaxed. In short, it was much faster than the first time.
When the siblings 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 found a black key lying inside.
This... she felt a little familiar.
"I have signed up for a driving school for you. Take lessons when you have free time. Remember to wait until you get your driver's license before you hit the road."
This is the key to the motorcycle that Lin Zuzu rode when he was sending the elves back to their home point! Although it was short-lived, Lin Zuzu liked the feeling of controlling the speed and moving forward into the wind.
I thought this motorcycle had been scrapped... I didn't expect my sister to still remember it!
"Thank you, sister!" Lin Zuzu quickly put the key into his pocket, thinking that he would give it a try tonight, and simply forgot about Sister Yu's instructions.
What Li Qing gave him was a tool maintenance kit, which looked exactly like the ones he usually used. In addition, it also thoughtfully included a maintenance guide, which was just right for novices.
"Thank you, Brother Qing."
The most maintenance Lin Zuzu had done on her knives in the past was to wipe them clean. Mainly because of her current strength, it was difficult to ensure that the uniform long knives in the team were in good condition.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Maybe you need to see if you want to buy a good knife.
Just as she was thinking about it, Yi Tingxie raised a long knife in front of her.
The scabbard has no decoration, but the handle is decorated with auspicious cloud patterns and embellished with agate and turquoise, which looks very delicate.
"This knife is called "Xingyun", with a total length of 113cm, a blade length of 72cm, a handle of 41cm, and a weight of 1.37kg. The handle has been adjusted and replaced to allow the knife to be held with both hands." He put the knife into her hand.
"I hope you can treat it well in the future."
Lin Zuzu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "I... thank you, Master!"
She couldn't wait to pull out a piece to see what was going on - it was indeed as sharp as water and cold as ice.
When Yi Tingxie saw her happy expression, he unconsciously curled up his lips.
The girl's strength is slightly weaker, but her control is precise. Some moves can be made up for by changing the posture of the move to holding the knife with both hands. In addition, this knife is lighter than the standard long knife, so she can display faster speed.
.
"The captain has really made a big move." Li Qing said to himself.
"Huh?" Yan Ying'er on the side didn't know what was going on. After all, in Team 1, B-level weapons were commonplace.
"This is the gift the captain received when he broke through to B-level. It is a good B-level sword, and it is the work of the "Shi" family of the forging family." Li Qing had been thinking before that it was a pity that this good sword had been kept sealed.
It's great to be able to use it again now, and it fits well with girls.
"That's it." Seeing that the gifts were given away, Yan Ying'er clapped her hands excitedly and shouted: "Come on, come on, have a drink~"
…
Except for Liang Wen and Lin Qi, who were underage, everyone else started drinking more or less. Even Lin Zuzu, who had just grown up, was forced by Yan Ying'er to join the group.
"Try it quickly, try it quickly~ It's all done in one bite~"
The girl had no choice but to drink the transparent liquid that exuded a strange aroma in front of her.
The strong alcohol went into his throat, and his mouth was filled with a spicy feeling and a hint of fragrance. The attack of high alcohol almost frightened Nuo and he almost cursed.
Lin Zuzu didn't understand why so many people liked something so unpleasant to drink. Fortunately, Nuo acted as a hangover enzyme and she was able to stay conscious.
After three rounds of drinking, Lin Zuzu, who was under special care, still felt her face was hot. She escaped to the balcony in the name of going to the toilet while no one was paying attention.
Finally getting a chance to breathe, Lin Zuzu sent a message to the two warriors who were not present to thank him, and at the same time clicked on the cat-eye avatar with two red dots.
"Ms. Lin, happy birthday~Tangtang Super Sweet and Hongji Office present two discount coupons." At the same time, a cute kiss emoticon made by the civet cat Tangtang was also attached.
After all, Hong Ji was engaged in intelligence work, so it was no problem to collect basic information about girls.
"Thank you very much, Boss Hong." She smiled helplessly.
Lin Zuzu leaned against the window eaves of the balcony. The gentle night breeze blew away a lot of the heat.
"Happy birthday." He said suddenly.
It can feel the waves in the host's heart when these words are spoken.
Although it didn't fully understand the importance of this day, it still said so. The fact that "the host is happy" made it feel happy too.
"Thank you, Yan." Lin Zuzu thanked him sincerely.
Ever since her father disappeared and her mother was lost, she has never thought that there was anything good about her being born in this world, and it remains the same even now.
However, only at this moment, she was briefly happy for her existence.
If she did not exist, then...she would not be able to feel these kindnesses and warmth.
"But... what does birthday mean?" Yan asked hesitantly. It rarely does this.
"You don't even know this? It's just the day of birth~" Nuo explained proudly.
"Then when is your birthday?"
"I, I...it's just..." This moment made Nuo stunned. If it had an entity, it would have turned red in the face.
"July 10th." Lin Zuzu came to the rescue for this child who refused to admit defeat.
"Hehe, let me tell you~ I must have a birthday~"
"Also, it's October 15th."
"Why this day?"
"This is the day when I met you separately. Although you couldn't communicate with me at that time, I am still very grateful for your coming. So, I will remember that day next year." If I am still alive at that time.
"Hey, it's my birthday next year~ Oh, happy birthday, stupid woman~"
"..." Yan fell into silence again, only the second fool was still complacent.
After a while, the sensitive child said, "But we didn't prepare any gifts."
"Yan, I think another meaning of birthday is that the birth itself is the best gift that can be received by someone who cherishes it."
"I mean--"
Lin Zuzu turned around and looked at the lively scene in the living room.
Lin Qi, who was sleepy, had been sent back to his room. The training during the day had made him very tired. Now it was time for the child to go to sleep.
Liang Wen blushed and thanked Li Qing for asking about the girl's preferences in advance. The heroic young man touched his head in embarrassment and took a swig of beer.
Yan Ying'er and Li Qin competed for wine. The two people with almost opposite personalities unexpectedly refused to admit defeat in terms of drinking capacity. Although it seemed that Li Qin, who could still drink a thousand drinks, was better. However, bright and lively and cold and restrained
Appearing at the same time, the scene is really eye-catching.
"Your existence is the best gift I have ever received."
Then, a sense of satisfaction came from the bottom of my heart, and the guilty child seemed to finally be untied.
The moment was so beautiful that it made Lin Zuzu feel a little unreal. She even felt a little scared, as if she had seen the scene being shattered.
Suddenly, a sight interrupted her random thoughts. Looking up, she met Yi Tingxie's gaze.
The man didn't panic because he was caught watching. He just smiled slightly, raised his glass to the girl from a distance, and motioned for her to come back to the crowd.
Lin Zuzu was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes softened.
For no apparent reason, a word came to her mind.
desire……
She found that she wanted more things. She didn't want to do this, but at this moment she couldn't help but think about it.
If I could have one more wish...
If God could allow her to greedily make a second wish because she has not had a birthday in six years and has not made a wish...
She hopes -
There is still a chance like today.
It doesn't matter whose birthday you are celebrating, or what the reason is, as long as everyone can get together.
If the future of revenge is like this, if the world is so warm after the guilty have redeemed their sins...
She found that she was happy to live in such a world, living next to... these people.
