"Um...thank you, Commander."
"Is it delicious?"
"Ah."
Upon hearing this, Su Xin happily fed herself one and ate it with a satisfied smile.
Lafite stared at Su Xin's constantly moving cheek, leaned over and kissed her, leaving a slightly oily kiss on her face.
"...This is my gift, Commander...Happy Birthday."
"...Huh? Ah...thank...thank you..."
The atmosphere between the two people at the table was peaceful, while the two people who had just walked in had shocked expressions.
Changdao, who was leading the way, stood there in a daze, then was overjoyed, forming a sharp contrast with Mingmao, who was as pale as an earth, behind him.
“I got it, I got it!!”
"God wants to kill me, meow—"
ps: The birthday party may be a bit long, I hope you won’t get bored watching it ('.__.
Chapter 217 Birthday
Su Xin felt that everyone in the port area was acting strange today, especially Changdao and Mingmiao who were eating opposite her. One was laughing foolishly while the other was crying bitterly. It really puzzled her.
However, when Lafite saw that more people came, he let go of her hand a little embarrassedly and buried his head in eating. So Su Xin changed the person to feed Xiao Ruyue who came to eat beside her.
Feed her one and she eats one. Feed her one and she eats one. Her little mouth is always filled with fried dumplings. She has to chew for a long time before she can swallow them. Her hamster-like appearance is a bit like Su Xin when she was eating noodles just now.
After eating, Ruyue waved her hands cutely to indicate that she didn't want to be fed anymore, and pouted her little mouth a little coquettishly to make it easier for Su Xin to help her clean the oil stains with a handkerchief.
After everything was done, Xiao Ruyue took something from behind and stuffed it into Su Xin's arms.
"Commander, please take good care of it..."
Su Xin picked up the thing in her arms and looked at it carefully. She found that it was the yellow hat that Ruyue always wore. It was soft and comfortable to the touch. There was an opening on the side of the hat, and Ruyue always stuck her right cat ear out of the hole.
"Is this... Ruyue's hat?" Su Xin looked through it carefully, then glanced at the one on Ruyue's head, "Then what are you wearing now...?"
Ruyue pulled the brim of her hat a little embarrassedly, and the messy threads at the hole on the right ear of the hat stood out with the movement.
"Yes... it was bought by Kisaragi..."
"And then you modified it yourself, right?"
Ruyue nodded, feeling a little nervous, wondering if the commander would like her gift. After all, she had been wearing this hat for a long time. But Ruyue felt that this was her favorite thing she had ever owned.
After waiting for a while, Ruyue found that the commander still didn't speak, and her anxiety became even worse. Just as she was thinking about taking it back to exchange it for another one, she felt the product cap on her head being gently taken off.
"I like Kisaragi's gift very much," Kisaragi heard the commander say to herself, "but I like the ones Kisaragi made herself better, so can I have the one on your head instead?"
Kisaragi was very surprised, but when she thought about the black cat crossbody bag made by the commander, which she loved so much that she carried it every day when she went out, she believed what he said and nodded happily in agreement.
"Commander, happy birthday..."
Su Xin returned the original hat of the right size to Ruyue, and carefully looked at the cat ears that were red from being rubbed by the edge of the opening. After making sure that there was nothing serious, she responded with a smile.
"Thank you, Kisaragi-chan."
After breakfast in the morning, Su Xin didn't see Wu Mu and Kumano, but the other ship girls all came, especially Yudachi, who praised the fried dumplings highly. After eating, she kept following Yixian and refused to go anywhere.
Su Xin didn't have the energy to pay attention to these things. It wasn't a bad thing anyway. Could it be possible that Xili could eat her out of money?
She now faced a more serious problem, which was her own never-ending sense of expectation.
It was only early in the morning, but she had already received many gifts, all of which were very much to her liking. Su Xin liked them very much, but she also felt troubled.
She found herself looking forward to everything and everyone. She always felt that the other person would give her a gift at any place and at any time. This kept her highly focused, but she got tired after a while.
After wandering around the port area for a long time until lunch time, Su Xin did not receive any gifts from anyone other than the little yellow chickens, which made her feel a little melancholy and a little embarrassed.
She found herself being too lazy. How could she just leave her work and wander around receiving gifts on her birthday? So Commander Su made up her mind and after lunch, she went straight into the command room to start reviewing documents.
The ship girls who had been waiting in various places for half a day finally got the chance, put down the books that they hadn't turned a page for two hours, and immediately started to get busy.
At dinner time, Su Xin raised her head from the pile of books, looked at the dark sky outside, and hesitated to open the door, "Why are the lights off in the port area..."
It was pitch black outside. There were no little yellow chickens wandering around, and no ship girl coming to call her for dinner. It was just quiet, like an airport.
It was difficult for Su Xin to use night vision in the port area, but she figured it out quickly. Maybe everyone had prepared some surprises, just like the late-night canteen on New Year's Day, where there would always be a focal point with lights on, waiting for everyone.
She went to discover.
So Su Xin took out her cell phone, turned on the flashlight, and bravely walked towards the cafeteria. However, after she took only two steps, a very bright spotlight shone on her.
The strong light made it even harder for Su Xin to see the things around her, but it was unrealistic for her to look up at the glaring light source. Just when Su Xin was at a loss, the spotlight on her body moved.
It moved forward one meter as if guiding Su Xin. Su Xin was stunned for a moment, then took two steps and stood in the range of the light column again.
The spotlight moved again, and Su Xin followed suit. As she walked, Commander Su became more interested, and the doubts in her heart turned into a relaxed smile on her face.
The spotlight shifted and shifted, and as Su Xin jumped and walked, it stopped on a pile of colorful gifts not far away.
Su Xin stopped and stared ahead in a daze. There were gift boxes of different sizes, with various packaging and brightly colored ribbons, piled up into a gift mountain about three meters high.
A familiar female voice came from the darkness: "Please ask our little birthday boy to come forward and choose two gifts."
"Sister Yixian?" Su Xin called out softly. No one responded in the darkness, so she had no choice but to go forward and make her choice.
After getting closer, Su Xin, who was less than meters tall, realized that the mountain of gifts was indeed very high. She didn't know what was in each box, so she could only reach out and pick up two boxes in front of her.
"Please open the presents, little birthday boy."
Su Xin pursed her lips upon hearing that, and with great anticipation, she unzipped the ribbon on the first gift box, which was two palms wide, peeled off the red wrapping paper, opened the rather simple paper box inside, and found that there was only a piece of paper inside.
Su Xin took it out and read the small words written on the note under the spotlight:
"Happy birthday, Commander. This is a coupon for our store's 10% off products for life. I hope you like it and come to our store more often. It would be best if you can pay with diamonds. - Mr. Ming
plate. "
"..."
There were two inexplicable noises in the darkness around him, and then Ming Miao, rubbing his butt, walked under the spotlight and laughed foolishly twice.
"Hey hey hey... This is the biggest discount I can offer meow... Happy birthday, Commander meow!"
Su Xin put it away carefully, walked forward and gently hugged the green-haired profiteer, muttering softly: "Thank you, boss, I will pay you with diamonds when I save enough for one order in the future.
“What did you say?!” The profiteer was shocked. Hearing this, he hugged the little commander tightly and burst into tears. “You are my boss, meow--”
"Well...but remember to take today's 10% discount into account when you keep your accounts, okay?"
Ming Miao paused, wiped her tears, and couldn't help burping, "...So stingy."
Yixian's voice sounded again in the darkness, "Little birthday boy, please open the second gift box."
Su Xin followed the instructions and opened the small box in her hand, and took out an exquisite and slightly heavy gift from the box, which was a three-finger-wide jade longevity lock.
"Ah... I'm the one chosen..." Yixian's voice sounded very happy, and soon she was seen walking from the other side of the light column.
The beautiful lady in her original cheongsam uniform bent down slightly in front of Su Xin, took the longevity lock from Su Xin's hand, unfolded the thin rope, put it on Su Xin herself, and then slowly hugged the little commander.
"I wish Su Su a long life, good health and safety."
"Um...thank you Sister Yixian."
"Well, then I declare." The voice in the darkness changed, "Susu's birthday party will start now-"
As soon as he finished speaking, the spotlights suddenly turned off, and then all the lights in the port area lit up. A circle of people stood around Su Xin in front of the mountain of gifts and pulled the trigger of the fireworks in their hands together.
After an irregular "bang" sound, colorful paper ribbons flew down towards Su Xin in the center, and then everyone's blessings rang out.
"Happy birthday~"
"Happy birthday!!"
Su Xin looked at her sisters who were blessing her, Wu Mu who was gritting her teeth and stepping on Xiong Ye's right foot, Fang Yan who was saying a long string of blessings but sounded like a running comment, Ayanami who was holding the criminal with an expressionless face, and
The Royal Ark made contact with him with a silly smile on his face.
Everything is so dreamy and beautiful.
Portland and Indy slowly walked in, pushing a cart with multiple layers of cake. As everyone started singing the birthday song with slightly uneven tones, Su Xin closed her eyes, made a wish, and then cut the first piece of cake.
Seeing that the birthday boy had already taken it, Yudachi knew that he could eat it now, so he took out the white chocolate cake layer pillars in a flash.
So everyone panicked as they watched the cake gradually tilt.
"Hey, help, help!"
"Take the plate, quick, quick!"
Eldridge stepped forward at the critical moment and used his two tender white hands to support the top two layers of the cake that were almost collapsing.
Just as everyone was heaving a sigh of relief, our little hero sniffed the sweet fragrance so close to him, and couldn't help but lick the cream on his palm twice, so the two layers of cake were stuck to Eldridge in full view of everyone.
On the head.
Eldridge, who transformed from Pikachu into a cake man, was very popular with the children, especially Kisaragi and Yudachi. They held her on the left and right and started to share the upper part of her head which was still relatively intact.
Seeing this situation, the others probably couldn't take it anymore, so they started to take revenge and complain.
"You're into CP, right? How can you not be ashamed to say that you're Sophie, you stinky shop owner?!"
"I just washed my hair today, meow! You poor bastard who eats potato chips on credit! Watch out, meow!"
"Why did you work so hard yesterday? I couldn't even get out of bed this morning. Are you looking for death?"
"Commander, if you continue to fool me, I will bring a cake to see you tonight, okay?"
"Ayan, Ayan, why did that sister say she wanted to bring a cake? For a midnight snack? Can I bring some back too?"
"Yudachi, you are still young. Don't listen to the nonsense they say. You almost got into trouble just now. Do you know that you have already gotten into trouble? Then stay with me and help clean up the ribbons on the ground, okay?"
Miss Hood looked at the melee not far away, drank a sip of red tea leisurely, and sighed, "It's been so long, and everyone is still so unstable..."
Before she finished her words, a small ball of cream happened to fly into her teacup, and the white sweetness gradually spread in the hot tea.
"......" Miss Hood put down the cup, was silent for a while, and then she said amazingly, "Long Island!!!!"
The Purifier put away the spotlight, looked at the chaotic scene below, pursed his lips, jumped off the roof, and stayed in the shadow at the back for a while.
"Ha... time to go." The Purifier stretched and was about to leave when he was stopped by a voice.
"Purifier."
The Purifier was a little bit unbelieving. She turned around and saw Su Xiaozhizhi, who was holding a cake, wearing a slightly inappropriate yellow hat, and looking at her with cat eyes.
"Are you in such a hurry to leave?" Su Xin pressed the brim of her hat to cover her ears and walked into the darkness where the Purifier was. "You haven't given me a gift yet."
"...Humph, I forgot." The Purifier sniffed, "Is the cake for me?"
"Yeah, I can't let you come here for nothing, right?" Su Xin smiled, handed over a small piece of cake, and took out the sachet, took out more than a dozen boxes of Coke and potato chips, and piled them up like a mountain between the two of them.
"These are also for you. I don't have any way to send them to you right now, so you have to eat slowly."
The Purifier was silent for a while, put all the snacks into the space, picked up the small fork and took a bite of the cake. It was soft and sweet, a taste she had not tasted for a long time.
"Ahem..." The Purifier sniffed, finished his meal in a few bites, and then stuffed the paper plate and fork back to Su Xin. "Well, I haven't thought of a gift yet, so I'll reluctantly agree to your request. This is Master Purifier.
"You can tell me when you think of it. Don't go too far."
"um. Thank you."
"...Happy birthday." The Purifier lowered his head and wiped his eyes quickly. "Well, buy some more snacks. This is not enough for me. I have to share it with those stupid subordinates. During the summer event, I
I will ask you for it, don’t…don’t forget it.”
"Yeah, I remember.
The Purifier listened to the voice calling for Su Xiao's command not far away, pursed his lips, "...Then I'll leave."
"See you."
"...Why don't you hug me and send me off."
Su Xin showed the butter-stained plate in her hand, indicating that she had no free hands. The Purifier became angry and slapped the plate to the ground, then hugged Su Xin tightly and strangled her.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm just blessing you. You know that a hug from the Purifier is very, very precious and rare. I'm not feeling lonely or reluctant to leave you. Don't get me wrong."
"Yes, I know. Thank you, Master Purifier."
"...Hmph, remember to wipe the cream off the ground." After the Purifier said this, he flashed away and disappeared into the darkness.
