Chapter 176 Gift, I like it very much
There were also quite a few other scattered books. Qu Tong had a basic understanding of some of them, but for some of them, Qu Tong couldn't even understand the titles.
The technology in the interstellar space is so advanced that there are many new terms that she has never come across before.
Qu Tong's slender, white fingertips slid across the books, and his gaze stopped on a glass bottle on the bedside table, in which was a dried rose.
Qu Tong carefully picked up the glass jar and found that there was something inside.
He held the glass jar in front of him with both hands and looked straight ahead. There were several small paper rolls inside.
Just when Qu Tong was wondering what this thing was, Si Yuting came in.
When Si Yuting saw what Qu Tong was holding, his eyes changed.
Qu Tong didn't notice it, put the glass bottle back in place, and called out with a smile: "Your Highness."
"Um."
Si Yuting changed into casual clothes. The long-sleeved shirt covered his good figure tightly, as if he was afraid of being seen by someone.
Qu Tong saw that there was only one chair in the room, so he sat down on it without any hesitation.
Si Yuting naturally had no objection.
He walked to the table, took out a white box from the space button, handed it to Qu Tong, and said, "Happy birthday."
Qu Tong looked up in a daze and looked at Si Yuting.
Si Yuting's voice was naturally cold, but his eyes revealed a cool tenderness, as if there was nothing else in his eyes except her at this moment.
At this moment, she remembered that today was this body's 19th birthday.
In fact, she herself had forgotten.
The original owner’s birthday was not her birthday, so she naturally wouldn’t take it to heart.
In her previous life, she had been alone since she could remember, so she had no birthday. She just celebrated the day she escaped from the cage every year as an anniversary.
Qu Tong lowered her head to look at the gift box, her long eyelashes drooping to cover up the brilliant light and also to hide the untimely brokenness.
The square box makes it easy to guess that it is jewelry.
When I uncovered it, it turned out to be a beautiful necklace.
A purple pearl hangs on the thin bone chain. The pearl has a warm color and excellent luster, as if it has absorbed the most beautiful aurora in the Milky Way. It is magnificent and noble.
Qu Tong had seen purple pearls in his previous life, but this was the first time he had seen such beautiful ones.
She had heard that the larger the pearl, the richer the color, and the more expensive it was.
This pearl is not very big, it is just the right size for a necklace, but just based on its enchanting purple color that reflects a fantasy color, the price must be very expensive, and it may even be out of stock.
Qu Tong felt a soft feeling in her heart. She looked up and smiled at Si Yuting: "Thank you, Your Highness, for remembering my birthday."
Si Yuting was dazzled by Qu Tong's smile that was as bright as the morning glow.
It feels different from before, like the clouds have been cleared away and it feels a lot more real.
Before Si Yuting could figure out why he had such an idea, Qu Tong handed the gift box to him, and said in a soft and sweet voice: "Your Highness, please help me put it on."
The soft and coquettish voice reached Si Yuting's ears, making him unable to refuse, and he had no intention of refusing.
He took the box and took out the necklace.
The tall figure leaned over Qu Tong in an absolute superior-subordinate position, and one hand carefully gathered Qu Tong's long, soft black hair.
Qu Tong cooperated and took the hair from Si Yuting's hand, revealing her fair and graceful neck.
Qu Tong looked at Si Yuting, who was holding his hands behind his ears and carefully controlling his breathing, with a smile on his lips as beautiful as a flower.
"Your Highness, have you ever had a crush on someone before?"
Si Yuting paused, not understanding why Qu Tong suddenly asked this question. Facing Qu Tong's bright, inquiring eyes, he fastened the delicate buckle and answered honestly:
"No."
The next second, a hand was placed on his shoulder, and soft lips touched him and left immediately.
Si Yuting's eyes trembled slightly, and he distanced himself awkwardly.
Watching Si Yuting's reaction from a close distance, Qu Tong raised the corners of his eyes slightly and looked straight into those deep and cold eyes.
"Your Highness's gift, I like it very much."
The tone of voice was so tactful that it was hard to tell what gift he was talking about.
Qu Tong turned the computer chair around and stood up from the other side of the table.
Si Yuting looked at Qu Tong's leaving back, his eyes dark and unclear.
He squeezed his palms, raised them up, and put them down again.
I clearly remember the softness and numbness of your lips just now, and the feeling of an electric current running through my heart.
The strange emotion stayed in the man's heart for a moment, but he soon returned to his usual calmness.

Qu Tong returned to the room in a happy mood, and when he was about to turn on the computer, he found that it was out of battery.
The optical computer bracelet also needs to be charged, but because it consumes very little power, Qu Tong subconsciously ignored this point.
Qu Tong pressed the switch of the bracelet's energy device, added a tiny energy stone into the card slot, and restarted the optical computer.
I opened the address book and found several missed calls and messages.
From Xu An, from the Queen, from the newly appointed Crown Princess, and from her cheap master.
They all wish her a happy birthday.
The Queen and the Crown Princess also prepared gifts for her and sent them to Yuelan Bay.
Xu An and Master Bianyi also said that they would give her a surprise when she returned.
Qu Tong responded to their messages one by one with words of thanks, but did not call them back.
There was also Wen You's simple and crude transfer of 99,999 star coins, wishing her a happy birthday and a pleasant night with the admiral.
Qu Tong laughed in silence, but still replied with a thank you.
As for the second half of the sentence, just ignore it.
Because Si Yuting was there, Wen You had nothing else to do, so she went on a mission with Cheng Feng and would not be back tonight.
Qu Tong turned off the computer, touched the round pearl on his neck, took one of the pillows, hugged it in his arms, and buried his face in it.
Who should she thank?
Although today is not her birthday, these blessings and concerns are all for her.
In her previous life, apart from Shengsheng and China Mobile, which wanted her to upgrade her package, no one would send her holiday greetings.
Shengsheng is always busy studying medicine, and gifts are given to people in hospitals or at academic research conferences.
She should be grateful for this rebirth.
Thanks to Si Yuting, and thanks to all the warm people.
The night sky was starry and Qu Tong sat quietly all night.
As the morning light breaks, more than one person is suffering from insomnia.
Qu Tong splashed cold water on her face and put on some light makeup.
When I turned on the computer, I received a message from Si Yuting.
Qu Tong arrived at the entrance of the hall and saw Si Yuting gathering the Sirius Legion's troops outside.
The message Si Yuting sent her said that a remote planet had sent out a distress signal and was attacked by a large number of Zerg.
Well, she was still thinking about how to tease Si Yuting today, but she didn't expect that he was about to leave.
Seeing that Si Yuting is going there in person, one can probably guess that the situation is not optimistic.
She wanted to go, but she had no reason.
Si Yuting turned around and was stunned to find that Qu Tong got up so early today.
Si Yuting had long since returned to his usual noble and stern self, looking serious and proud in his military uniform.
"You stay at the base. If you have any problems, you can find Jiang Zhou or Wu Yue."
Qu Tong tilted his head and smiled obediently: "Okay, Your Highness, please be safe."
Si Yuting nodded, looked at Qu Tong deeply, turned around and boarded the warship.
