Chapter 326 Birthday, gift!
It was not until she received Chu Liang's letter and gift that Shen Xiangwan remembered that the tenth day of the second month was her birthday. As usual, Chu Liang's letter not only congratulated her on her birthday, but also repeatedly reminded her to take good care of herself and not to wrong herself. The words were full of the brother's love for his sister, and there was no mention of his own difficult situation.
"Thank you, Master."
Carefully putting away the letter, Shen Xiangwan thanked him with a smile on his face.
"This is what your senior sister brought with her, as well as the gift your senior sister and I gave you."
As he spoke, Ji Shaohan took out two exquisitely carved wooden boxes, one large and one small. Ever since he returned from destroying the Silver Moon Tower, he had never left Yong'an Village. If it wasn't her birthday this time, he wouldn't have made a special trip.
"Thank you, Master."
Taking the box, Shen Xiangwan's smile brightened a little more: "Can I open it and take a look?"
"Um."
Ji Shaohan smiled and gestured for him to come in. Shen Xiangwan didn't bother to be polite with him and opened the smaller box first: "Wow, what a big pearl."
A huge, round pearl lay quietly in the box. From its lustrous luster and rich texture, it was not difficult to tell that it was definitely a rare treasure. Even Shen Xiangwan, who didn't like these things very much, couldn't help but look at it with love.
"This is Yuting's treasure. It seems that she really likes you."
Looking at the pearls in her hand, Ji Shaohan's lips curled up into a faint smile.
"whee."
Shen Xiangwan smiled so hard that her teeth were visible. After putting down the pearls, she opened another box and said, "Master, did you discuss this with Senior Sister?"
When she saw what was inside, she couldn't help but smile, because what they gave was also a pearl, but not just one, but a string of pearls. Although the pearls were not as big as the ones Liang Yuting gave, each one was round, plump, smooth and lustrous, and was also a rare treasure.
"Your mistress picked it out. Do you like it?"
Ji Shaohan was stunned, and then he laughed. Before this, he didn't know that the gift his wife gave him was also pearls.
"I like it very much."
Nodding, Shen Xiangwan happily put away the gifts they gave her.
"Wanwan, can we come in?"
Just as she was about to open the gift from Chu Liang, Yan Lang's voice suddenly rang out from outside. Shen Xiangwan slowly stopped smiling, stood up, and walked out with Yuan Yue: "Uncle Yan, Jun Lingyunran, Qingying, why are you here?"
Inside the outer tent, Yan Lang, Yan Junling and his wife, and Qingying stood side by side, each with a faint smile on their face.
"Today is your birthday, how can we not come?"
Yan Lang said as he took out the gift he had prepared and handed it to her: "Sorry, we only found out this morning that today is your birthday. It's a small gift, I hope you like it."
"Thanks."
I didn't expect to receive a gift. Shen Xiangwan took the wooden box containing the gift with a smile. It seems that this birthday is pretty good?
"Happy birthday."
Soon after, Yan Junling and his wife, as well as Qingying, also handed her a wooden box. Shen Xiangwan accepted them all and said, "Thank you. Everyone, please sit down and don't stand."
She is really happy. Maybe birthdays are nothing to others, but to her, birthdays are extremely important days. I don’t know if this can be considered a kind of princess syndrome. On this day every year, she hopes that everyone can remember it. There is no need to prepare special birthday gifts, just say happy birthday to her.
"The army isn't as convenient as home, so I can't celebrate your birthday properly. I'll ask the cook to prepare a special meal for you later, and we'll have a good meal."
After everyone sat down, Yan Lang smiled and said, "Normally, they never had a special meal. They ate whatever the soldiers ate. Isn't today special?" Plus, Cheng Yi wasn't home, so they wanted to take his place and accompany Wan Wan, trying to make her seventeenth birthday less regrettable.
"Don't bother, let's have hot pot for lunch, I'll prepare it."
How could she not know what was going on in the army?
Thinking about the hot pot she asked No. 1 to prepare, Shen Xiangwan decisively decided that good things should be shared with everyone.
"hot pot?"
What is that pot?
Everyone was confused, and Shen Xiangwan couldn't help but laugh: "Hot pot is not a pot, it's just us gathering together to cook and eat. This kind of weather is most suitable for eating hot pot."
Hotpot is one of her favorite foods. In her previous life, whenever she went out to eat with her best friends, they almost always ate hotpot. After traveling here, everything was inconvenient, so she never mentioned it. However, after today, it will be almost common. In the future, they can have hotpot no matter what, and everyone can get together to have a lively meal.
"It seems like a dining style we have never encountered before."
They exchanged a glance, and the smile on Yan Lang's face deepened. "Okay, then we'll have hot pot for lunch. Just tell me what you need to prepare, and I'll have someone go out and buy some."
Although they still didn't know what hotpot was, seeing that she was in high spirits, they were happy to cooperate. After all, she was the birthday girl today.
"No need, the space has everything you need, just come over and eat at noon."
Waving her hand, Shen Xiangwan declined his kindness. There were plenty of ingredients in the space. She just needed to ask Number One to prepare it early and change dinner into lunch.
"Okay, that's fine, we..."
"Report!"
Yan Lang was just about to stand up when the messenger's voice suddenly rang out. Before they could react, there was a chaotic sound of horse hooves outside. Everyone, including Shen Xiangwan, couldn't help but frown. Just when they were about to let the messenger in, Yuan Shu rushed in carrying a tall figure with an arrow stuck in his chest.
"Cheng Yi?!"
After seeing his profile clearly, Yan Lang and others' expressions changed drastically, but Shen Xiangwan sat stupidly in the main seat, staring at the arrow without blinking, and the fine pain spread out little by little with his heart as the center.
"bump!"
"Madam, help! Second Master was trying to get back as quickly as possible and was accidentally shot by an arrow. The arrow was highly poisonous. He immediately took the antidote you gave him, but he still passed out."
Ignoring everyone else, Yuan Shu knelt in front of Shen Xiangwan, holding Wei Chengyi in his arms. The tall and strong man roared and shed two lines of tears. They could no longer feel the pulse of the Second Master. Now the only one who could save him was his wife!
"Cheng, Cheng Yi..."
Tears suddenly rolled down her cheeks. Shen Xiangwan suddenly rushed towards Wei Chengyi and grabbed his hand with a trembling voice: "I can't feel it... How can I not feel the pulse? Damn it!"
Unable to feel his pulse, Shen Xiangwan was so anxious that tears fell down, completely losing her usual calmness and composure.
"Don't be like this, Wanwan. You must calm down before you can save Yunyi."
Seeing this, everyone felt uncomfortable. Mu Yunran squatted beside her and put his arm around her shoulders. At the same time, he also touched Wei Chengyi's hand. Seeing that he really couldn't feel her pulse, his face became even uglier.
"He's already like this, how can you ask me to calm down?"
Waving her hand away, Shen Xiangwan roared uncontrollably, then stretched out two fingers and pressed them tightly against his carotid artery until he felt the slight beating of his pulse. Only then did the last bit of rationality gradually return. The next second, he took him from Yuan Shu's hand. Shen Xiangwan... No, the couple disappeared from their sight without warning.
“···”
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned. Yan Lang, who was the first to react, quickly turned his head to check. After seeing that they were all the people in the tent, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't know what was going on, the fact that Wanwan and the others disappeared like that was too strange, and he must not let anyone except them know.
“It’s space.”
After an unknown amount of time, Ji Shaohan said in a deep voice that only a very few people knew that Shen Xiangwan's space allowed people to enter and exit freely, and he was one of them.
"But isn't space only capable of storing things, and not accommodating living things?"
What's more, Wanwan and Chengyi are two living people.
Yan Lang and the others were still puzzled. Unfortunately, Ji Shaohan had no answer this time. He just shook his head silently. Who could have imagined that Wei Chengyi would return in such a state? They still wanted to spend a lively birthday with Wanwan. What if Chengyi really had an accident? How would Wanwan face her own birthday in the future?
It has to be said that Wei Chengyi's gift was a bit too big. It not only scared Shen Xiangwan, but also made all of them feel uneasy.
