Extra four

Jiang Yuanshi has always celebrated his birthday according to the lunar calendar, the first day of the first lunar month, a very good day.

On New Year's Eve, while everyone is counting down to the New Year, Jiang Yuanshi's birthday is also about to begin.

When he was a child, after midnight, he would stay up all night to celebrate his birthday with his grandmother and his parents who came back from other places. His parents would only come back to stay longer during the Spring Festival every year. Probably because of the influence of the New Year atmosphere, Xiao Jiang still had a very good birthday at that time. Although his annual wish of "I hope my parents can spend more time with him" was never fulfilled, at least his family was safe and healthy.

However, after he left his grandmother and lived with his parents and finally realized his wish, Jiang Yuanshi rarely celebrated his birthday anymore.

His birthday became a time for greetings with relatives and strangers he had never met during the Chinese New Year, and a day for his parents to receive red envelopes. At first, his parents would watch the Spring Festival Gala with him, countdown together, and wish him happy birthday. But later, as he grew older, he found that the Spring Festival Gala was not as interesting as when he was a child. Gradually, his parents stopped watching the show in front of the TV and waiting for the countdown, and gradually they even stopped turning on the TV. After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms and rested early.

Jiang Yuanshi also went from looking forward to his birthday, to feeling sad and disappointed about being forgotten, to finally becoming numb and getting used to it.

Actually, it doesn't matter, but his parents still have to find an excuse. It is an absurd reason. When Jiang Yuanshi was very young and still looked forward to his birthday, he couldn't help but ask carefully. He really wanted to know why his parents didn't celebrate his birthday. Was it because he didn't do well?

But his parents at that time said that he was not actually born on the first day of the first lunar month, but was registered one day late on his ID card. They said that Jiang Yuanshi’s birthday should have been around 11:00 p.m. on New Year’s Eve, but because it was only one second away from the first day of the new year, it was registered incorrectly.

If it is New Year's Eve, according to the calendar, unfortunately, there is no New Year's Eve today.

At that time, his parents pointed the calendar to Jiang Yuanshi, who looked at it blankly. Then his parents sighed regretfully and said, "There's nothing we can do, kid. You were born at the wrong time. It's just bad luck. Wait until New Year's Eve."

The adults stood there and watched the children shed tears from confusion and loss, then smiled and comforted them. They drew happiness from the children's pain.

That was a form of torture.

Every year, Jiang Yuanshi actually knew the pain his parents were expecting him to feel, but he still couldn't help feeling sad. Perhaps no one knew that he actually had a tear incontinence physique. When he was a child and just lived with his grandmother, he couldn't hold back his tears, but when he saw his grandmother frowning, he held back his tears. It was not until later that his grandmother's indulgence in him allowed him to be a little willful as a child, but that time passed in a flash.

As Jiang Yuanshi grew up, he seldom cried, or even never cried. He seemed calm but was actually numb because he could not cry. He even lost the ability to vent secretly.

However, he keeps saying that he no longer has any expectations and has gotten used to it, but maybe this is just an excuse to escape and numb himself. When he finds out that there is a possibility that his existence is cared for and even realized, he thinks he will still not be able to hold back his tears.

Just like now.

Looking at the person opposite holding the cake, after seeing himself crying, he held the cake with one hand and reached out with the other to carefully catch his tears. He explained seriously but with some helplessness, apologized for the poor quality of the finished cake, and promised to make a new one later.

The human crossed his legs and dropped the small fish expressionlessly, saying, "You made it yourself? You weren't working as a cook, were you?"

Z01 nodded. "Yes, although I can use my divine power to make it directly, sincerity is important in the human world, so I exchanged the materials and made one in the cafeteria. I'm sorry, however, that my craftsmanship is not very good."

Jiang Yuanshi: "How do you know today is my birthday?"

Z01 said honestly, "It's in the host's file, and I can see a lot of things after becoming the Order, so I know."

Jiang Yuanshi let the other person touch his face: "Oh, I thought you would organize everyone to celebrate your birthday together."

Z01 touched her tears and condensed them into drops. "This was the original plan, but you didn't seem to want to trouble others. I don't like you to feel stressed because of other people's behavior, so please forgive me for taking the initiative and celebrating your birthday alone."

"..." Jiang Yuanshi lowered his eyes and looked at the cake. The cream was spread evenly, although it was thick on one side and thin on the other. The little figures on it were not made of chocolate or fondant, but also of cream. It looked like a lot of thought went into the cake.

Jiang Yuanshi grabbed the other person's hand to stop someone from smearing his tears on his face and then stealing the water drops, and said very shamelessly: "Is it just this one? What about the previous one?"

Z01 was stunned for a moment and replied, "The previous one was too ugly and did not meet the standards, so it was destroyed."

Jiang Yuanshi: "In the future, give me the ugly ones too."

It sounded like the other party accepted it, so Z01 nodded and said, "Okay, then you can make a wish."

Jiang Yuanshi looked at the candle and said, "I make a wish for the gods to hear, so should I make it for myself to hear?"

Z01: "If you don't mind, you can tell me."

Jiang Yuanshi snorted with a nasal tone and said nothing. Under Z01's gaze, he closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, and made a wish. After waiting for 10 seconds, he opened his eyes and blew out the candle that would never go out or burn out automatically.

The space darkened again, and stardust appeared. Amber eyes with starlight stared at Z01 calmly: "Did you hear my wish?"

Z01: "...Yes."

Jiang Yuanshi smiled, and Z01 saw himself in those eyes. He heard his human say, "Then it's time to make my wish come true, right, God?"

Z01 looked at him and said, "Is this what you wish for? But I shouldn't be on the same day as you."

"But don't you know the day you were born? In that case, stay with me. You promised to help me realize it, and you can't go back on your word."

Z01 looked at Jiang Yuanshi for a long time, and then he took the cake from his hands, held it in front of him, and said to him, "It's my turn this time. Happy birthday Z01. Thank you for coming. I hope all your wishes will come true and you will be happy every day."

Z01 imitated human behavior, closed his eyes, silently made a wish, and blew out the candle.

This time the god said in the darkness: "How come your wish is greedier than mine? But I agree."

They cut the cake under the starlight. Logically, the two birthday boys and girls should each have a cut. But Z01 had to cut together because of something he had learned from the human world. Jiang Yuanshi let this inhuman creature act as he pleased. He then watched the creature move towards him. He inexplicably sat in the crook of the creature's legs, curled up in it. The two of them held hands and shared a knife to cut the cake.

Jiang Yuanshi couldn't help laughing and joked casually, "What a familiar posture. The last time I saw it was at someone else's wedding. The newlyweds also cut the cake like this..."

wrong.

Jiang Yuanshi turned sideways and looked up at the other person: "There's something wrong with you."

Z01: "Well, yes, this is also one of my wishes. I hope you can make it come true."

Jiang Yuanshi: "? You want to marry me? But we seem to have only been together for a short time, isn't it too fast?"

"So this is what you care about?" Z01 said honestly, "If I just wanted to do this, would you believe it? After all, proposing to you requires more serious planning and preparation."

Jiang Yuanshi choked, but don’t you still have it?

Z01 seemed to have heard his inner voice and said, "But I just want to do this now. After all, I only had ten hours of contact with you today, and the physical contact was only 2 hours, 13 minutes and 06 seconds."

"You are a timer spirit." Jiang Yuanshi poked Z01's chin, "What kind of weird things do you do with your abilities behind my back every day?"

Z01 remained silent, indicating silence. Jiang Yuanshi did not pursue the matter, but childishly used his divine power to separate the little people on the cake, pretending to save them. Z01 said, "Yuanyuan, these are for eating."

Jiang Yuanshi: "I know, but it would be a pity to eat it. Can't I use my divine power to protect it and keep it? This is the first gift I have received in these years."

After saying this, Z01 felt his heart skip a beat, and then he helped Jiang Yuanshi to reinforce and preserve them, and then he conjured up a few more and said, "This is what I left behind, eat it if you don't mind. This can't be kept, I hope you can try it."

These are two little men, with unclear facial features and abstract body shapes, but from the two colored dots on their faces we can tell that the one with yellow eyes is Jiang Yuanshi and the one with red eyes is Z01. They are two war gods with crooked mouths, hair of varying lengths and widths, and their standing postures are extremely arrogant.

For some reason, Z01's eyes lit up when he saw Jiang Yuan. It looked like he wouldn't be able to eat again.

As expected, Z01's failed product became Jiang Yuanshi's favorite. It was so abstract that it touched his heart and made him laugh every time he saw it. It was so ugly and cute. He placed it on the bedside for Jiang Yuanshi, but it did not disappoint Z01's wish. They shared the grass and trees beside the little man, ate the scene, and then ate the cake.

The cake is not too big, just enough for two people to finish, and not too greasy.

Jiang Yuanshi enjoyed the meal very much and said that Z01 could open a store in the future.

Z01 didn't really want to, because he only wanted to do it for Jiang Yuanshi and had no interest in other humans.

Jiang Yuanshi didn't say anything after listening to it, but just said vaguely: "Okay then."

It is clearly a word of regret, but it sounds like it carries a hint of secret joy. Is this how humans secretly enjoy themselves?

Although he didn't know why Jiang Yuanshi was happy, as long as he was happy.

After eating the cake, the two should go to bed according to their biological clock or sense of ritual, but Jiang Yuanshi couldn't sleep. He lay in Z01's arms and stared at someone in a daze. Z01 didn't understand, but looked back at him.

No one knew why, but what was originally just a quiet and childish eye contact turned into kissing. Jiang Yuanshi's clothes were probed, and he put his arms around the other's neck, letting the other person do what he wanted. At the same time, his hands were also playing Z01's earrings dishonestly, making sounds when they collided with his own earrings. His fingertips brushed Z01's earlobe intentionally or unintentionally, causing a slight blush.

The human was clearly no longer human, but he was still kissed to the point of being breathless. Z01 wiped the moisture from the corner of his mouth and kissed him once again, not giving the human any chance to calm down. The human was not to be outdone, and the warm and ambiguous scene became intense.

A black and red mist wrapped around Jiang Yuanshi's body, exploring inside bit by bit, causing him to utter a short sound, but then quickly hold it back, and unwillingly bit the other's body, leaving teeth marks.

What do non-human creatures look like? Jiang Yuanshi didn't know, but he understood this time. It turned out that the other party had emotions and could even lose control. Countless hands touched his body. He had no time to care how many hands were wrapped around his waist. The heat kept coming back. Humans were burned to tears, like a bow that could break at any time, but they were unwilling to make a sound. They just cried silently, and then their tears were licked away, flowing down their cheeks, and finally the salty taste mixed with their taste buds.

Once wishes and resentments come into contact, they will blend into each other. They coexist and erode each other at the same time, but after becoming "order", the originally automatic erosion behavior will be transformed into pain upon contact.

The larger the area of contact, the more painful it is.

The inhuman creature licked the human's wetness with satisfaction, listened to the human's satisfied sounds, stared at the human's sobbing and unconscious appearance, and felt each other's trembling and wrapping. It was a long time before they finally called a truce. The inhuman creature clung to the human too tightly, and his caring words sounded like a provocation.

In the end, the angry and humiliated humans turned the tables and took control.

They were caught in the beginning of a new cycle.

Space has no time limit and no rest.

Jiang Yuanshi seemed to hear someone whispering in his ear, telling him again Happy New Year and Happy Birthday, and that they would make a better cake for him next year.
