Today is Zhu Lu's birthday. Dai Huabin knows that he has somewhat neglected Zhu Lu's emotions due to his study and practice these days.
However, Zhu Lu never complained to him, her words were only encouragement and support.
Dai Huabin wanted to make up for everything in the past today. At least he should not let the girl who likes him feel disappointed and lonely on this special day.
Dai Huabin thought about a lot, such as love and birthdays.
There are many ways to express love.
It's not just extreme behavior like repeating "I love you" over and over again in a disgusting tone every day, or casually dying for the other person.
Like Zhu Lu, understanding one's significant other and silently supporting and devoting is also a way of expressing love, and it is a deeper expression.
Not greasy or superficial.
Likewise, celebrating a birthday is not just about having a nice meal or blowing out candles with good friends.
Dai Huabin felt that Zhu Lu wanted something other than that.
This time, it was Zhu Lu’s birthday, and Dai Huabin wanted to celebrate Zhu Lu in his own unique way, just the two of them——
As for whether Zhu Lu likes it or not, Dai Huabin actually has no idea.
But one thing is for sure,
If he called Huang Chutian, Wu Feng and the others over, served food and cakes, and everyone sang happy birthday to Zhu Lu, it would definitely embarrass Zhu Lu to death.
…
It was already night when Dai Huabin came back from the Soul Guidance Department.
Just like the last day off, Dai Huabin wrote a note and gave it to the dormitory aunt to bring to Zhu Lu.
The note contained a simple message, saying that he was waiting for her downstairs and wanted to give her a surprise.
After a while, I saw a figure hurried downstairs - it was Zhu Lu!
Zhu Lu obviously left in a hurry, and her school uniform was still a little messy.
When she saw Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu blushed, and then walked slowly to his side - she was not a fool, she had already guessed what Dai Huabin was going to do.
The girl's heart was instantly filled with joy - it turned out that Dai Huabin had not forgotten her birthday!
The answers and concealments this afternoon were just to give her a surprise!
"Let's go, Zhu Lu."
"Um."
Dai Huabin didn't say much. He took Zhu Lu's little hand and walked away.
There are not many stars in the sky, only a bright full moon, like a flawless white jade plate.
The moonlight shines on the surrounding scenery, giving everything a faint silvery glow.
Dai Huabin held Zhu Lu's hand and walked all the way towards Poseidon Lake.
Zhu Lu enjoyed being in this silence and accompanying her sweetheart.
The pace of the two of them was neither urgent nor slow. The fatigue of daily study and cultivation seemed to have disappeared, leaving only peace and relaxation.
The two people walked all the way through the woods and came to the shore of Poseidon Lake.
The moon left a blurred reflection in the lake, and the water rippled slightly, leaving layers of silvery light, as if there were thousands of silver necklaces in the lake.
Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu just sat by the lake, leaning on each other.
There are no love words, but the hearts of the two people are infinitely close; there is no delicious food, but the hearts of the two people are extremely satisfied.
Zhu Lu leaned against Dai Huabin. This was the best birthday she had ever had.
Whether it was lively or cold, she didn't care.
What she cares about most is the person who celebrates her birthday with her, not the superficial material things.
In this school, Dai Huabin is the only one who knows her birthday, apart from the teachers who have read the student's information.
It wasn't that Zhu Lu didn't want to tell Xiao Xiao, Ning Tian and the others, it was just that she hadn't had a chance to talk about it yet, so she didn't tell them yet.
A girl born into a noble family would not tell anyone about her birthday unless her best friend asked.
If Dai Huabin didn't remember, she would have to spend her birthday alone. There would be no celebration, just treat it as an ordinary day.
In fact, when she asked Dai Huabin what day it was in the afternoon, she had already prepared in her heart. Dai Huabin had been really busy recently, so it was normal for him to not remember.
If it were Dai Huabin in the past, Zhu Lu wouldn't even ask, because he would definitely tell Zhu Lu bluntly that he didn't remember.
However, for some reason, Dai Huabin's change in attitude towards Zhu Lu made the girl happy and also a little hopeful.
To be honest, this afternoon, when Dai Huabin couldn't remember his birthday, Zhu Lu felt a little sad and lonely, but it was not a big deal. She had been mentally prepared for this situation before.
However, when she learned that Dai Huabin was waiting for her downstairs and wanted to give her a surprise, Zhu Lu almost cried with joy.
Now, it's very good. This beautiful and quiet time belongs to the two of them. Zhu Lu really wants it to last forever——
This is the best gift she has ever received!
Birds and cicadas chirped in the woods behind him, and countless flying insects were flying among the grass by the lake, shuttling back and forth in the moonlight and shadow, like small spots of light that appeared and disappeared.
The night view of Poseidon Lake is beautiful, like a dream.
"Zhu Lu, I have something to give you." Dai Huabin suddenly said.
Seeing Zhu Lu's confused look, Dai Huabin smiled and said: "Today is your birthday, you don't need anything else, but cakes and candles are indispensable gifts."
Zhu Lu shook her head slightly, her face turned slightly red and said: "No need for those, this is the best gift."
Dai Huabin looked at Zhu Lu - oh, how could this girl be so easily satisfied? It seemed that the previous Dai Huabin was really not good to her.
Think about the plot of Qiankun Asking the Valley of Love in the original work. Dai Huabin said in front of Zhu Lu that his favorite was Wang Qiuer——
Oh, what a sin—
Although it was not entirely his fault, after all, he took responsibility later and even destroyed half of his face and an arm for Zhu Lu.
Dai Huabin took out the purchased candles and cakes from the system space.
The flickering candlelight illuminated Zhu Lu's face slightly red. Zhu Lu looked at the cake and candles blankly, and a tear suddenly ran down her cheek.
Zhu Lu blew out the candle and made a wish. Dai Huabin asked Zhu Lu casually what he was promising, and Zhu Lu smiled gently at him: "Secret."
After blowing out the candles, Dai Huabin took out the birthday gift for Zhu Lu, his first soul guidance device - the soul guidance lamp.
Dai Huabin believes that this soul guide lamp is very commemorative.
Zhu Lu held the soul guide lamp in her hand and injected it with soul power. The soft light emitted, shining on the girl's face and also on her heart.
Zhu Lu will never forget today's night, it is one of the most precious memories in her life.
Dai Huabin told Zhu Lu that he still had a gift to give her, but he had to wait until Zhu Lu at least reached the soul emperor level.
Another gift from Dai Huabin was one of the three soul bones given by Emperor Tian in the Star Dou Forest last time.
However, that is a hundred thousand year soul bone, and Dai Huabin is afraid that if Zhu Lu absorbs it now, there will be backlash. In the original work, Dai Huabin dare not forget the accident of Xiao Xiao absorbing the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.
Another point is that if Zhu Lu exposes this soul bone, she may be killed.
Dai Huabin decided to wait until Zhu Lu had reached enough cultivation level before letting her absorb it again.
As for why Dai Huabin was able to absorb a 100,000-year-old soul bone last time, firstly, he was forced by the situation to reduce the risk of absorbing soul rings, and secondly, because his physical fitness at the Soul King level was not too weak.
The third is the suppression of Youqiongqi bloodline. This is the most critical point, and it is also the reason why Dai Huabin dares to absorb a hundred thousand year soul bone!
Dai Huabin could gamble at that time and take limited risks based on his own strength, but he could not let Zhu Lu take risks!
Zhu Lu didn't ask Dai Huabin what the second gift was, and she didn't care now.
"Hua Bin, what are your dreams?" Zhu Lu suddenly raised her head and looked at Dai Huabin and said.
Just now Dai Huabin asked her what her wish was, but Zhu Lu didn't answer - she didn't want to lie to Dai Huabin, but if she told the truth, she would be so embarrassed!
Zhu Lu actually just wanted to ask. She actually didn't have a strong desire to control and wanted to know everything about Dai Huabin.
She will ask what needs to be asked, but she won't get to the bottom of it.
Dai Huabin would naturally tell her what he wanted her to know. If she stalked her, it would only lower Dai Huabin's impression of her.
"Me, I want to reshape the world, not just this continent." Dai Huabin's eyes flashed with determination.
Then, he looked at Zhu Lu: "How about it? Doesn't it sound like you are overestimating your capabilities?"
Zhu Lu shook her head and said seriously: "No, I believe you can do it. No matter what you do, I will support you behind your back!"
Zhu Lu's words contained strong determination, and she believed in her fiancé's ambitions.
Although it sounds ridiculous, Zhu Lu still believes that Dai Huabin can achieve it!
No matter what Dai Huabin wants to do, she will do her best to support him!
She didn't really ask for much. She had a feeling when she was getting along with Dai Huabin that she couldn't monopolize this man!
Dai Huabin is a dormant eagle. When he takes off, he will not be restrained by anything!
The contemporary White Tiger Duke Dai Hao has more than one woman. Even the princess of the Star Luo Empire cannot monopolize her, let alone a girl that the family uses for investment.
Zhu Lu hopes to help Dai Huabin in the future instead of becoming a burden to him. She just needs to occupy a place next to Dai Huabin and leave a place in Dai Huabin's heart.
…
Outside Qian Duoduo's office,
Zhao Ping's heart was a little complicated.
He knew that his actions violated his promise, but he still decided to try.
He wouldn't tell anyone else, but he couldn't hide it from his top boss.
"Come in." Qian Duoduo's voice came from inside. Zhao Ping took a deep breath and walked in.
"Dean Qian, I have something big to report to you. I discovered a soul guidance genius. It only took less than six months to become a first-class soul guidance master!"
"What!" Qian Duoduo immediately stood up from his chair, his expression very excited: "What you said is true!"
"That's right!" Zhao Ping said firmly.
"Okay, okay, okay! Take me to see that boy now! He deserves our key training! How many years have passed! Finally, a genius has been caught by my soul guidance system!" Qian Duoduo was in a very happy mood!
"Well, there is one, oh no, many problems." Zhao Ping said.
"What's the problem?" Qian Duoduo raised his eyebrows, having a bad feeling.
"That young man's name is Dai Huabin, a core disciple of the martial arts department, and you can't go see him now because Director Du has requirements for him..."
As soon as he heard the words "core disciple of the martial arts department", Qian Duoduo felt that his fiery heart was immediately doused by a basin of cold water, and he sat down again.
He is so unwilling to accept it, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-Yan Shaozhe, why do all the good things happen to you!
Qian Duoduo knew very well that it was impossible for him to poach the core disciples of the martial arts department. He still clearly remembered the bet he made with Yan Shaozhe last time. It would be useless for him to come forward in person!
There was no need for Yan Shaozhe to take action, Du Weilun could push him back!
And once he comes out in person, he will probably be completely cool.
However, I am still so unwilling to do so!
Qian Duoduo quickly calmed down again. He wanted to try to find a breakthrough from other aspects. For example, what if the child voluntarily joined the soul guidance system?
It's not that he doesn't understand current affairs, but it's really not easy to find a genius soul mentor, and the person is also a monster-level talent.
He was really unwilling to let such a good talent for soul guidance go to waste!
"That Dai Huabin, does he have the ambition to learn soul guidance tools?" Qian Duoduo asked.
He has an impression of Dai Huabin, but he can't help it. He still remembers the painful price he paid for the last freshman assessment bet.
Moreover, he also admired the character of Dai Huabin.
However, the most difficult point is also here. He appreciates it, and Yan Shaozhe also appreciates it very much!
"Yes, but he told me personally that the focus of his training is on martial arts."
Another bucket of cold water poured down Qian Duoduo's heart.
"Forget it, but you should pay more attention to Dai Huabin, and you can also test him a little.
"But, Zhao Ping, you have to know that the chance of us poaching that boy is very small, almost impossible! Even so, I still hope that you can try your best to at least leave him with the opportunity to study concurrently!"
Qian Duoduo is still very unwilling. He has no choice. That kid's talent is too terrifying, but his focus is not on the soul guide, so he can only do his best!
Moreover, he can't go too far, it would be bad if he was discovered!
The last time he made a bet with Yan Shaozhe, he lost the bet. Although Yan Shaozhe still said that he could choose a young man to join the soul guidance department, Qian Duoduo was still not sure whether Huo Yuhao could recruit him!
Although it is a pity for Dai Huabin, there is still a long way to go. Who knows whether the other person will change his mind in the future, so let’s wait and see, at least let him continue to practice concurrently!
When he thought about the talent of becoming a first-level soul engineer in less than six months, Qian Duoduo was very unwilling and his heart ached!
However, there is no way, their soul guidance system is really——
It’s hard to describe in one word!
All he can do is to test and win over Zhao Ping secretly. If he succeeds, he will give it a try. If he fails, there is nothing he can do.
Now, let’s not get into trouble, let’s dig up the little guy named Huo Yuhao whom Fan Yu recommended last time. I heard from Fan Yu that this guy’s talent is also excellent!
