Ding—

After a gong bang and a chorus of sighs, the little black-robed figure moved again, "Hehehe, the war between humans and ghosts is over!!"

"Players who have obtained tokens, please remain on stage. Players who have not obtained tokens, please leave the stage."

So, those who managed to grab the token stayed on stage, while those who didn't left with sighs and groans.

It's a fairly normal rule, but it's not quite normal for Xu Zhaozhao right now.

She snatched an apartment, but Gu Qingyan didn't! Does that mean she has to stay on stage while Gu Qingyan has to step down?

We don't need this token! (Zhao Zhao roars)

Gu Qingyan turned to leave, but Xu Zhaozhao immediately grabbed his arm as if she were grasping at a lifeline.

"no!"

Gu Qingyan pretended to be in a difficult position, "But if we don't get the token, we'll have to step down."

Xu Zhaozhao bit her lower lip, like a frightened rabbit.

"Oh my, this young couple is so lovey-dovey!"

The little black-robed man's humorous voice came from above, "In that case, you two should open this surprise together! May you live a long and happy life together, and be forever united in heart!"

The audience started to jeer again, with cheers and jokes.

But Xu Zhaozhao only heard that she could stay on stage with Gu Qingyan, and silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, there weren't many ghosts on the stage, only two children and two other slovenly ghosts; the other six tokens were in the hands of the people.

Xu Zhaozhao has made progress; at least she can open her eyes now.

Yu Yu and Xiao Kai walked to their side, one on the left and one on the right, protecting her like two little knights, standing at the end of the line.

The lottery draw will start from where you stand, opening the tokens one by one according to your position.

Seven events were held in a row, each one more unremarkable than the last, offering free admission, shopping vouchers at stalls, and the audience found nothing new.

"How stingy! You go through all that trouble to play a game, and there's not even a big surprise prize."

"Come on, it's already good enough that the entrance fee is free. We made a hundred or so yuan."

"Just give me a five-yuan Rolls-Royce voucher, it's no big deal if I lose this token."

...

While the audience was still whispering, it was Xiao Kai's turn to announce the winners.

"Hey, No-Face! It's your turn!"

The little black robe floated on his head, "Wake up! You've turned into a ghost, why are you still sleeping!"

It was only then that Xiao Kai came to his senses. He looked at the stir-fried spicy pork knuckle on the stall not far away and felt a little tempted.

He took off his token, opened it, and took out a small piece of paper.

Her little face scrunched up as she struggled to read the words: "Sand, ghost, eat..."

"Then kill a ghost and eat it, you little faceless man, hehehehe—"

The little black-robed man couldn't stand it any longer and read out the reward: "All-you-can-eat at the entire food stall! We're paying!"

The audience cheered; many people wanted this prize.

Xiao Kai hasn't learned all the characters yet, but he can understand what he hears. On stage, he's already jumping around impatiently.

Spicy stir-fried pork knuckle!

Next up was Xu Zhaozhao. She also opened the token and took out a small piece of white paper.

"congratulations!!"

Before she could even see clearly, the little black robe floated excitedly above her head, shouting, "Theme Valley is completely free for life!!"

Xu Zhaozhao was bewildered in the wind.

This apartment is such a waste of money, sob sob sob. This should be the only and last time she steps out of here.

There are too many shadows.

But it didn't stop the audience from cheering.

Finally, Yu Yu opened the token in his hand and took out a small piece of paper.

"This is a fireworks extravaganza that we have prepared especially for you."

He read the words on the note aloud, slightly stunned, and the tourists at the scene were also a little taken aback.

But he forgot to say one sentence: Happy Birthday.

Bang!

The explosion rang in people's ears, and everyone looked up at the same time.

A firework bursts in the sky.

Bang bang bang!

Then, countless colorful fireworks exploded in the air.

He gazed at it, his eyes reflecting the miniature fireworks, which made them appear bright.

Gu Yulin seemed to suddenly realize something and turned to look at Gu Qingyan, who still had that irritating look on his face.

It seems... it's not so bad anymore!

Xiao Kai suddenly rushed over and grabbed Gu Yulin's hand, "Brother Yuyu, look!"

He turned his head, facing the sound of fireworks exploding.

Fireworks of various colors gradually revealed four words in the sky: "Happy Fourth Birthday, Baby."

The scene erupted in chaos.

Let's all wish this baby a happy birthday!

The little black robe floated around excitedly.

The fireworks display lasted for more than twenty minutes, with "Happy Birthday" chants echoing throughout the city of ghosts.

Throughout the entire process, Xu Zhaozhao shouted that she was the most enthusiastic, and even her fear had been thrown to the winds. While holding her phone, she kept shouting "Happy Birthday."

The screen on my phone is so shaky, I don't know how many memorable moments I can capture.

Even after the fireworks ended, the atmosphere didn't cool down for a while.

Gu Yulin's eyes were red, but he still kept a proud and stern face, looking down at the note in his hand.

The light pierced through the thin paper, and he discovered that there were words written on the back of the paper.

I gently flipped it over.

Welcome to your fourth year. Many years to come, you will be surrounded by flowers and bustling with activity, loved by everyone.

We will always be with you. This is both a wish and a promise.

It was unsigned, but he knew who wrote it.

Some things cannot be conveyed through face-to-face language; words flow like water, nourishing the heart.

"Holy crap! Holy crap, look up at the sky!!"

The crowd erupted in cheers once again, and they all looked up at the same time.

After the fireworks, the sky was filled with colorful lights, flashing on and off.

"A drone! My God!"

"There must be so many of these cars, the sky is flashing with lights."

"What merit do I have to witness the young master's birthday surprise?"

...

The audience below the stage were discussing it animatedly.

First, a group of drones flew in, attracting people's attention, and then many more followed and flew into the sky.

They changed formations, using light to create patterns in the sky.

Although it was a bit noisy, everyone held their breath and enjoyed a visual feast.

They transformed, first forming a small cake with four candles, and below it, three flashing words: "Blow out the candles together."

There was indeed colored smoke coming from those four candles.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

Xiao Kai, who was standing next to Yu Yu, was blowing the flute the loudest, and the tourists in the audience joined in.

But before the candle went out, the drone started changing its expression again, saying, "Make a wish before blowing it out!"

Gu Yulin was stunned.

Everyone present laughed, and he laughed too.

Amidst the bustling crowd, Gu Yulin closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, and silently made a wish facing the birthday cake with lit candles in the sky.

I hope that arrogant guy Gu Qingyan won't go back on his word.
