"Today is to celebrate your birthday, there's no need to steal the show." Su Mingan shook his head.
"But, Detective, do you know what my birthday wish is?" Alice's lips curled up.
"What is it?"
"My birthday wish is..." Alice leaned closer, stood on tiptoe, leaned close to his ear and whispered: "[I hope the detective can have a happy birthday.]"
Her voice was light, but each word was pronounced clearly, like the sound of her footsteps when she was twelve years old, holding his hand and moving forward step by step in the falling snow.
Su Mingan's eyes flickered slightly.
At this moment, it was like a flock of birds flying into the room through the wide open window and crashing into his heart.
He didn't know what to feel. All the warmth of the tenth world seemed to be gathered here.
People gave gifts to Su Mingan one by one.
The red-haired boy is the wild child Pat. He put his hands in his pockets and had a somewhat awkward personality. He handed Su Mingan a sunny doll and said, "Here, detective, thank you for giving the children 39 grams two years ago. This is the sunny doll that the children made for you."
The young man with golden hair is Knight Wendel. He is dressed in a white shirt and looks reserved and clean. He carefully handed a stack of postcards to Su Mingan: "Mr. Detective, these are postcards of all the lakes in Fort City. Happy birthday to you."
The brown-haired man was the hunter Dave. He looked a little indifferent and handed a few bullets to Su Mingan: "These are the bullets I made. You can put them in your gun in the future. Protect Alice."
The blue-haired boy was the only son of the Baron, Yisi. He smiled gently and gave Su Mingan a golden pocket watch: "Detective, this is an antique I bought at an auction. I heard that you like antiques very much. Maybe this can help you."
The one with short brown hair is the fighter Qiao Xi. She patted Su Mingan on the shoulder and said, "Detective brother, if you encounter bad guys next time, put on the boxing gloves I gave you. They are very powerful!"
Finally, it was Mei Mi, the gardener's sister from the neighbor's house. She gave Su Ming'an a bouquet of beautiful white lilies and said timidly, "Detective, I wish you peace and happiness in the future and a smooth life."
Faced with such enthusiastic people, Su Mingan thanked them one by one.
His pupils were gradually filled with warm light, and the loneliness, depression, and pain of being treated as an alien during the day were gradually suppressed.
"Detective." Alice tilted her head. "It's my turn now. Guess what gift I prepared for you?"
"...Spring Pancake?" Su Mingan thought for a while.
Alice laughed: "Am I just a love triangle in your eyes?"
"No, because I haven't eaten anything so delicious..." Su Mingan shook his head: "Some people I've met have really bad cooking skills. But the spring cakes you made are delicious."
He guessed a few more answers, but Alice shook her head and said they were all wrong. Just when Su Mingan couldn't guess any more,
Alice smiled lightly, and suddenly stretched out her hands——
“Hua La La—”
Su Mingan seemed to hear the sound of a white dove flapping its wings.
He looked down and seemed to see snow-white wings, which were clustered together and as white as fine snow. Alice held them high in her hands and gave them to him.
It's morning glory.
——White morning glory flowers.
"Detective, I heard that white morning glory flowers mean the birth of miracles, and the blessings of the world will be engraved in your soul forever." Alice said loudly: "I give you white morning glory flowers, and I wish you a bright life, good health and happiness, forever and ever. I wish you all the happiness in the world, and that everyone will give you kindness, and may beauty always follow you."
Su Mingan's vision was trembling violently.
...wait, that sounds familiar.
Sounds so familiar, and there is also this familiar flower name -
"Chao Yan..." Su Mingan spoke.
"Hmm?" Alice tilted her head.
"No, Alice." Su Mingan took the flower, the white petals were soft and fluffy: "Sorry, I just called someone else's name. Thank you, Alice."
Chaoyan is an orphan girl from a small village in "Lou Yue Kingdom", and Alice is the girl in "Girls' Dream Project". One has an ancient oriental background, and the other has a western steam background. They cannot be the same person.
"Alice is Alice." Alice held Su Ming'an's hand: "Okay, Detective, let's cut the cake."
The two closed their eyes, made a wish, and blew out the candles. Sister Rita helped them cut the cake.
Wendell picked out the strawberry part for Su Mingan. Dave had only taken a few bites when Pat threw a cake at his face. The two started fighting. Sisters Rita and Josh hurried to stop the fight, while Meimi sat aside and watched with a smile.
Su Mingan was biting the cake while Alice was sitting beside him, watching the scene in the candlelight with a smile on her face.
Yisi quietly sat beside Alice and asked her in a low voice: "Alice, can I continue to teach you the violin in the future?"
"Forget it. I'm a violent girl and I break the strings easily. I'd better continue to learn fighting from Sister Qiao Xi." Alice said with a smile.
Issi listened and felt a little sad.
He didn't know why Alice always pushed herself so hard. She practiced swordsmanship from morning till night. She didn't even dare to touch the musical instruments and paintings that she really liked. It was as if there was a flood beast chasing her from behind, asking her to become stronger quickly.
Many people said that she was a muscular girl, but she just listened calmly and continued to practice without giving herself any rest.
"Alice..." Issy said.
