Gu Shengsheng finally asked the question that had been bothering her for a long time.
"Grandma, don't you miss him? I noticed you're quite afraid of him. Although I'm afraid of him too."
Lu Linlin and the old lady sighed.
Lu Linlin spoke first, "Let's start from the beginning. My brother...never smiles. I've been afraid of him since I was little. My grandma even avoids him when she eats snacks. He's like an evil spirit."
"Later, when he was older, around 27 or 28, my grandmother wanted him to have a relationship, but he scared her so much she didn't dare to speak."
"Anyway, I was afraid of him when he was alive, and I'm afraid of him after he died. When he died, my grandma and I were heartbroken, but we'd still have some snacks every day and relax for a while. If he came back, our good times would be over."
Gu Shengsheng didn't know what to say for a moment.
He just said dryly: "This is indeed... not easy to get along with."
"But sister-in-law, if you have someone you like, just go ahead and like them. Don't worry about this whole "lucky wedding" thing." Lu Linlin said seriously again, "Just get married again and take me and grandma with you."
The old man and the child looked at her pitifully.
"...It's okay, I'm fine now." Gu Shengsheng said.
"I'm not interested in men."
Lu Linlin looked at her and sighed, "It seems you don't understand the secret. My brother often says, 'I'm not interested in women.' If you both come here alive, maybe you'll really be a couple."
The old lady was speechless: "This is the marriage that my fortune-teller predicted. How could it be bad? It is the perfect match!"
“…”
As the two were arguing, Lu Linlin received a phone call.
Then her expression changed and she winked at the old lady.
Then the two of them found an excuse to go out.
Gu Shengsheng knew that they were acting suspiciously, but she was too lazy to follow them and ask them clearly.
Just lie down directly.
The house is equipped with an intelligent system that can not only monitor but also record. It is linked to Gu Shengsheng's phone.
So Gu Shengsheng saw their conspiracy standing at the door when he opened the app.
"Grandma, have you ordered the cake for my sister-in-law's birthday tomorrow?"
"It's ordered. We'll make it ourselves tomorrow. She'll like it when we make it ourselves!"
"Let's go buy some ingredients now. Shengsheng's grandma said she wants to make longevity noodles."
Gu Shengsheng was stunned for a moment. Birthday?
She doesn't remember anything.
I have never celebrated my birthday since I was a child, and the people around me are even more indifferent.
She lived a lonely life in another parallel time and space. At that time, she felt used to it and even felt that she didn't need these useless emotions.
But now it seems that I am very happy to be with them.
It was the first time someone said they wanted to celebrate her birthday.
Then, the voice outside the door suddenly turned into a whisper: "Our system! Standing here and talking, it seems that my sister-in-law can hear it?"
The old lady was also unsure: "No way?"
Lu Shijing, who lived across the street: "..." Is this a conspiracy? The system across the street heard everything.
It's her birthday tomorrow, what should I give her?
Lu Shijing also began to anxiously prepare to choose things.
Then Lu Linlin walked in tentatively.
Seeing Gu Shengsheng still lying there, he asked, "Sister-in-law, you...didn't hear what we said?"
"What did you say?" She looked confused.
At this time, the actors can act in TV series. The eight o'clock dramas are melodramatic.
Lu Linlin breathed a sigh of relief and ran out happily.
Gu Shengsheng fell asleep again in a daze.
——
The next day, early in the morning, before she even woke up, she heard the doorbell ringing continuously.
She is really in a bad mood when she wakes up.
Even though I covered my head with the quilt, I still felt it was noisy outside.
So Gu Shengsheng put on her coat and stood at the door with messy hair.
He is a chef and he carries a lot of cake-making instruments and flour.
Gu Shengsheng: "...What are you doing?"
"You ordered a cake for your family, didn't you? The agreed time has come, and we kept knocking on the door. Sorry to bother you."
Gu Shengsheng looked around the room and found that the two men were not there.
I had no choice but to say, "Why don't you come back later? The two people who ordered the cake are out buying groceries."
The chef was embarrassed: "I have other orders later. Sorry, miss. This is the only time."
"Just make the cake with me. It'll be quick."
“…Okay then!” Gu Shengsheng nodded.
While the chef was packing up and putting things in the kitchen, Gu Shengsheng finished washing up in two minutes.
Then I sat next to the chef and let my mind go blank.
I made my first birthday cake myself as a surprise for myself. It was quite a surprise.
Gu Shengsheng watched him make the cake and asked, "Do you want cream too?"
"Yes, miss, you asked for hand-whipped cream, and you said you would make it yourself."
Gu Shengsheng was petrified. Lu Linlin must have wanted to try something new.
But hand-whipping cream requires at least an hour of continuous beating!
There is also a cake to be made, but luckily we have a chef who can help share some of the burden.
At this time, the chef comforted her, "Your family will definitely be very happy to know that you are so sincere in celebrating her birthday."
"Miss, please hold on a little longer."
Gu Shengsheng smiled bitterly and said nothing.
I was just wondering, can I not celebrate my birthday this year?
At this time, Lu Shijing passed by the door and deliberately paused for a minute or two to let Gu Shengsheng notice her.
Because Gu Shengsheng's door was not closed, when the two looked at each other, Gu Shengsheng greeted them weakly.
He walked in with his long legs.
"You make your own cake?"
"Um."
"Let me do it!" Then, Lu Shijing took over the cream from her hand. When she stopped working and just lay down, she felt that everything was in order.
When Lu Shijing was done with his work, he sent a message to Lin Kai, asking him to take the old lady and the young lady out for a walk.
So, Gu Shengsheng had already made the cake, the chef had left, but the grandparents and grandchildren had not returned yet.
Lu Shijing also took out a small box from his pocket.
Said: "Happy birthday."
Gu Shengsheng took it and smiled bitterly: "You finally realized it was my birthday."
"Thank you for making me a cake."
Gu Shengsheng saw that the box was very delicate and looked very expensive.
Unexpectedly, when I opened it, there was just a... screwdriver?
A screwdriver, to be exact.
Gu Shengsheng was a little stunned and looked him over. "What do you want me to help you fix?"
"I can repair cultural relics, furniture, and even sewers." Gu Shengsheng said seriously and honestly.
Lu Shijing was a little annoyed: "This is a gift from me to you."
"The screwdriver in your bag was used the day before yesterday, but it looked a bit awkward to me. I made this myself, so it should be very useful."
He spent the entire night at home polishing it and even made it foldable so it's easy to carry.
Gu Shengsheng was skeptical at first, but later he took it and tried to screw the repair button on a piece of bronze broken material next to it.
I found that it is really useful.
She was instantly happy, and Lu Shijing breathed a sigh of relief. (End of this chapter)
