The night is getting darker, in the accommodation area.
"Daju, can't you move now?" Yun You reluctantly took Daju off the table again.
"Meow, Xiaoyou, there are so many small dried fish, I will just eat a small piece." Daju acted cute in his arms, begging with two watery cat eyes.
Yunyou smiled and patted Daju on the head, then put it back on the sofa. Without answering its question, she turned around and returned to the kitchen to do the final finishing work.
Although he didn't say it clearly, Daju, who had been with Yunyou for so long, obviously knew what Yunyou meant.
"Meow, okay." Daju's tone was a little disappointed, "Meow, today is Xiaochuanchuan's birthday, so I'll let him have some time."
It jumped off the sofa again, but still couldn't control its eyes and drifted to the table. Wiping the non-existent saliva from the corner of his mouth, Daju shook his head, dragged the glutinous rice balls aside and ran towards the door.
"Meow, Xiaoyou, I will take Tangyuan to help you keep watch to see if Xiaochuanchuan has come back."
"Chirp chirp chirp!" If I don't go, I want to be with Xiaoyou.
"Meow, stop talking nonsense."
Tang Yuan struggled, but could not escape from Da Ju's clutches. After all, those were the claws that even Yu Kun could not escape from. Speaking of Yu Kun, in the month since Da Ju came to Cangqing Base, he had been bullied by Da Ju until he had no temper at all. .
In this month, all the specially trained beasts in Cangqing East District have met a new boss, and his reputation has spread far and wide, so much so that the contracting beasts in other districts have heard about it more or less.
Time slipped away quietly, and soon...
Daju and Tangyuan both ran in from the door in a hurry.
"Choo Choo Choo!"
"Meow, Xiaoyou, Xiaochuanchuan is back, please turn off the lights."
——
The winter night falls quickly. At 6:25 pm, the outdoor light has dimmed, as if it will plunge into darkness in the next second.
Han Qichuan had already rushed back to the accommodation area. He looked up and saw that every house that had no training today had lights on. According to Cheng Jun, Yun You had already returned, but their room was still dark without any light.
Realizing the problem, Han Qichuan's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
There are two possibilities. One is that the information provided by Cheng Jun is wrong and the boss did not go home.
There is another way... to leave without saying goodbye.
The feeling of loneliness suddenly came to mind.
Yes, she did say that she would leave Cangqing Base in the future.
With a cold face, the chill seemed to be even colder. Han Qichuan looked at the dark house and walked slowly over, his movements much slower than before.
I tried to avoid it, and I also thought it was a fluke that the light at home was broken.
The road will eventually come to an end.
Han Qichuan gently pushed the door open. It was dark, silent, and there was no sign of anyone's presence. The uncomfortable emotions rushed into his heart for a moment, and he stood there for a long time. Finally, he took a step toward the door as if he accepted the reality.
It doesn't matter, he can just go find her later.
He comforted himself in his mind.
Ta, poof——
The sound of a lighter igniting sounded, and then a weak flame emitted a thin light, filling the room. The orange-yellow light is not very bright, it can even be said to be dim, but it gives people a hint of warmth.
The music sounded, familiar yet strange.
I haven’t heard the well-known birthday song in almost twenty years, right?
Han Qichuan was stunned on the spot, his cold expression suddenly became a little overwhelmed, and his heart was slightly touched.
The dim candlelight illuminated the small but gorgeous cake on the table, as well as the food on the table, and the aroma was fragrant.
However, because of the panic in his heart before, he only noticed the dimness of the room and ignored the aroma of the food the moment he entered.
Under the illumination of the candlelight, the three figures of the source of the sound, Yunyou, Daju, and Tangyuan, clearly appeared in front of Han Qichuan.
he heard them say.
"Meow meow meow!"
"Choo Choo Choo!"
"Han Qichuan, happy birthday!"
The stunned mind started to spin again, digesting the pictures seen in front of the eyes and the sounds heard in the ears. The mind came back to reality, but the body shape was still stuck in the same place.
Birthday?
Han Qichuan recalled the date, and it seemed that today was indeed his birthday.
Number 13.
13 is not a lucky number.
"Why are you so stunned there? Come and make a wish and blow out the candles!" Yun You stepped forward and pulled Han Qichuan to the table and said with a smile, "Daju has been waiting for those small dried fishes for a long time."
Listening to Yun You's words, Han Qichuan finally turned his attention to the cake in front of him and nodded gently. The emotions in his heart surged. He felt the sour emotion for a long time, and the corners of his eyes hurt.
Instead of saying goodbye to him, his boss carefully prepared a surprise birthday celebration for him.
However, at this moment, Han Qichuan inadvertently ignored a question that he was about to think of.
He had never mentioned his birthday to anyone, but Yun You knew it so clearly.
At Yun You's urging, he clasped his hands and closed his eyes. Han Qichuan's face, which had been cold most of the time, looked extremely pious at this moment.
In the flickering light of the fire, he made a wish.
He hoped that he could always be by her side. Even if he was temporarily separated for some reason in the future, he would eventually be able to find her again.
After a moment, he solemnly blew out the candle.
Cheers rang out, and at the same time Yunyou also turned on the lights in the room, and the bright lights illuminated the room again.
"Han Qichuan, what wish did you make?" Yun You asked curiously, and the glutinous rice balls and big oranges on the side were waiting for his answer with bright eyes.
He will listen to Yunyou on many things, but exclude issues of principle.
"The secret." Han Qichuan explained, "It won't work if you say it."
This is the basic rule for making wishes.
Even with a fluke mentality, he wanted to believe in fate once and make his wish come true. He is not greedy. He is willing to have no other wishes for his birthday next year, as long as this one comes true.
Seeing Han Qichuan's firm refusal, Yun You didn't persist. She originally planned to help him fulfill his birthday wish.
Well...as long as it's not too outrageous.
Yun You put the homemade cake crown on his head and used the cake knife: "The birthday boy today quickly puts on this crown and divides the cake."
Han Qichuan took the cake knife and divided it into four unequal pieces according to Yun You's request. According to the food intake of the four of them, his was the biggest and the glutinous rice balls were the smallest.
The sweet cream, mixed with the crispy cake layers, tastes delicious and sweet. The most important thing is that this cake is made by the boss himself.
Only now did Han Qichuan realize that Yun You had taken leave in the last few days just to learn how to make cakes from Aunt Yang.
So can he be narcissistic now? Was the fundamental reason why the boss went to cooperate with Aunt Yang's dessert shop before, also because of him?
His warm heart was beating rapidly, and now he really wanted to hold his boss in his arms.
