Ever since he turned eighteen, Bai Lin no longer had much need for rituals on his birthday.
Especially after he started working, he naturally didn't have time to pay attention to his birthday when he was fully immersed in work.
If it hadn't been for the phone call from his parents to greet him on his birthday, Bai Lin wouldn't have remembered that he had a birthday.
But remembering a birthday and failing to celebrate it are two different things.
After all, knowing that today is his birthday, what awaits him when he gets home from get off work will only be cold meals.
I bought a small cake and milk tea to celebrate, but I was scolded for wasting money.
Even if I explain that it's my birthday, the answer I'll get is: "What's your birthday as a grown man? Why are you being so pretentious?"
Over time, he no longer paid attention to so-called birthdays.
For Bai Lin now, the so-called birthday, if no one remembers it, just drinks a cup of milk tea or has a good meal.
If anyone remembers it, we all go out to have a meal together, then buy a cake and cut it together, and that's it.
Nothing different. ,
"But Lao Bai, does Xiao Jiuyue know that your birthday is coming soon?"
Chen Yunfeng suddenly asked.
Bai Lin thought about it and realized that he had never told Xiao Jiuyue about his birthday, so he probably didn't know it.
"She probably doesn't know." Bai Lin shook his head and said, "I never told her."
"That's it..." Chen Yunfeng said.
…
Life goes on like this, not only for Bai Lin, but also for everyone.
On Tuesday night, the day before Bai Lin's birthday, Xiao Jiuyue did not propose to go to the library to review together for the first time.
Bai Lin also assumed that something was wrong with her and didn't feel strange at all.
After all, Xiao Jiuyue was easily caught by counselors or other teachers as free labor for more than a day or two.
Bai Lin accompanied his three roommates to the inn to pick up the express delivery, and then returned to the dormitory together.
"I said, what are you buying?" Bai Lin asked, looking at the large and small bags in the hands of the three roommates.
It is normal to say that Liu Yu and Chen Yunfeng have girlfriends and they buy things for their partners.
But Lin Zihao...
Who did this guy buy so many things for?
Several people smiled mysteriously and said: "Secret!"
Bai Lin curled his lips and smiled: "Don't talk about knocking me down."
…
"I finally fixed my aggrieved face..."
Xiao Jiuyue looked at the aggrieved face of 8802 who had finally repaired it after three or four days of cultivation and said.
In fact, she had assembled the model body very early, and also made leaking lines and water stickers.
But this head.
Xiao Jiuyue discovered the problem of wronged face only after he worked it out.
When I wanted to take it apart individually to make repair parts, I found that I couldn't take it apart no matter how hard I tried...
She had no choice but to buy a new 8802 head replacement and make it again.
Then I found a pruning tutorial on the Internet and slowly pruned and polished bit by bit, and finally got the current result.
She took out the aggrieved face with the big slit before and made a simple comparison.
Um……
There is no harm without comparison…
"September, are you done with your model?"
Bai Jingjing probed and asked.
"Well, I just finished this head..." Xiao Jiuyue slumped on the chair and nodded tiredly.
"Didn't you already taste this head before? What's going on? Another one?" Bai Jingjing asked doubtfully.
When she watched Xiao Jiuyue put together the model before, she remembered that the head had been done a long time ago, and other than a big gap, she didn't find any problems.
"Made it again." Xiao Jiuyue replied. ,
"Why? Do you make another one after you've finished it?" Bai Jingjing asked, not quite understanding Xiao Jiuyue's approach.
"Forget it, come and see, I can't explain it in just a few words." Xiao Jiuyue handed the newly made head sculpt and the original head sculpt to Bai Jingjing at the same time, then pointed at the wronged face and the new head sculpt respectively and said: " This is the original one, and this one is my new one, you will understand after reading it.”
Bai Jingjing took over the two head sculptures and wanted to find out why Xiao Jiuyue made such useless repetitive assembly.
Lin Xue and Shen Jiayi also came over out of curiosity.
When the three of them saw the aggrieved face of the original head carving, they couldn't stand it anymore, and they understood why Xiao Jiuyue wanted to make a new one...
This aggrieved face is placed on top of the original model body. Not to mention Lu Bu riding a dog, it would be completely inconsistent...
If this kind of head sculpt was placed on a model, wouldn't the look and feel plummet?
No wonder Xiao Jiuyue needs to make a new head sculpt...
"Are all these models assembled in this way? Are there no finished products?" Bai Jingjing returned the two head sculptures to Xiao Jiuyue and asked.
They saw Xiao Jiuyue working hard both physically and mentally to build this thing, and they wondered if this kind of thing only had an assembled version?
"There are also finished models." Xiao Jiuyue shook his head and said, "But the original version of this thing is a little bit more expensive."
"Original version? What do you mean?" Lin Xue asked with some confusion.
Is there any original version of this thing?
"To put it simply, this thing is a pirated copy." Xiao Jiuyue explained: "I was thinking that Bai Lin's birthday was coming soon, and I thought that he liked this kind of gunpla, so I thought about buying one, making it myself, and giving it to him. .”
"But I didn't know much about these things, so I posted a post asking for help, and then someone recommended this thing called 8802 to me. It looked pretty good and handsome at the time, so I bought it."
"After I bought it, I found out that I had been cheated; not to mention that this thing was a pirated version, it was also very difficult to fight. Look at my hands, they have been hurting for several days. Only when I went to learn more about it later did I know that this thing is called Subject 2 of the modeling circle..."
Xiao Jiuyue explained the ins and outs of the whole thing in a rather helpless tone.
"Then how much does a genuine copy of this thing cost?" Bai Jingjing asked again.
Xiao Jiuyue held out five fingers.
"More than three hundred? That's not too expensive, right?"
"More than three thousand..."
"It's more than three thousand...how much is that?!!!!!! Three thousand?!?! Why doesn't he grab it?!"
When Bai Jingjing heard the price, she was so shocked that her voice broke. The sharp sound made the ears of the three people in the dormitory hurt...
She really couldn't accept that a model was sold for more than 3,000 yuan. This kind of price was very shocking to her own consumption outlook.
You know, her monthly living expenses are only more than a thousand...
Three thousand models each basically cover her living expenses for more than two months...
After Xiao Jiuyue was deceived before, he also went out of his way to understand the market situation of Gundam, and found that the genuine MB Qiang was actually sold for 25,000 yen, which is equivalent to one thousand one thousand two thousand yen in RMB.
But the model has a somewhat trendy nature, so this model was directly sold for more than 3,000 yuan.
The Soul Blue that was released later went up to 5,000...
In contrast, the 8802 in Xiao Yueyue's hand is really handsome and cost-effective...
What did you say?
Aggrieved face?
What aggrieved face? This is obviously a handsome face, okay?
