Chapter 84 The Unexpected Gift

Meteor Book Bar, in the lobby on the first floor.

Liu Xing and Wang Lanlan were sitting among a pile of gift boxes, unpacking the presents together.There are a total of 46 gift boxes, all of which were given by the booksellers who came to congratulate today.

"Liu Xing, this gift box is so big, take it apart and have a look!" Wang Lanlan held a round red gift box about one meter long with both hands.

"What?" Liu Xing tore open the outer packaging of the gift box, only to see a blue round cushion inside.

"This is a special cushion for scholars!" Wang Lanlan recognized it after a glance, and introduced, "When reading a novel, don't you have to sit up cross-legged? This cushion is designed for scholars. It is made of high-grade slimming sponge It is made, embedded with xanthus orchids, it is very comfortable to sit on, can adjust the temperature, release fragrance, and repel mosquitoes."

"So magical?" Liu Xing put the round cushion on the floor and sat on it. It was soft. After a while, there was a delicate fragrance of flowers permeated from the cushion, lingering around, making people involuntarily produce a feeling of Immersion, as if entering a fragrant world.

This kind of floral fragrance comes from a famous flower in China called Xuexinlan, which has a refreshing effect and helps readers maintain a good mental state.Because Xuexinlan grows in the snow-capped mountains, it is difficult to collect, the quantity is scarce, and the price is relatively high.

This Xue Xinlan cushion looks ordinary, but the price is thousands of yuan.

"Liu Xing, this gift box is so beautiful, there must be something good inside." At this time, Wang Lanlan picked up a square white gift box again,
Liu Xing took the square gift box and quickly unpacked it, only to find a chessboard inside, and besides that, there were hundreds of black and white chess pieces.

"It's just a set of novel chess."

"This is not an ordinary novel chess. It is made by Linglongyu. It is very expensive. A pair costs more than 5000 yuan!"

"So expensive?"

"Yeah. My grandfather has a pair and bought it for 5200 yuan."

Looking at the novel chess in his hand, Liu Xing was a little surprised, he never thought that someone would give him such an expensive gift.He casually unwrapped two gifts, both of which cost thousands of yuan. Adding up these dozens of gift boxes was a considerable income.

"Wang Lanlan, I have a difficult task for you."

"what?"

"I'm going back to my room to read novels. You unpacked these gift boxes for me."

"Okay, but don't let me do it for nothing."

"You can choose one of these gifts as a reward."

"I'll choose novel chess, hehe."

"Remember to unpack every gift box."

"Know it."

After the confession, Liu Xing went upstairs alone, and Wang Lanlan sat on the cushion and began to unwrap the gift box.She opened the gift box very slowly, every time she took out a gift, she had to play with it for a long time.

In the next three hours, Wang Lanlan found more than 40 gifts including famous clocks, jade, Rubik's Cube, eye protection lamps, and star novels from the gift box.

"what?"

At this time, Wang Lanlan saw a round pink gift box on the table, the size of a washbasin. She weighed it a few times with her hands and found that it was quite heavy.

"What is this?"

Wang Lanlan opened the package curiously, and there was a round cake inside!

"Why did someone send a cake?"

Wang Lanlan found it strange that today was the opening of the bookstore, and someone took a cake as a gift. Without thinking about it, she carefully opened the cake, and a snow-white birthday cake appeared in front of her eyes.

On the top of the birthday cake, six words were outlined with pink cream—Lan Lan, happy birthday!

Wang Lanlan thought she was hallucinating, she rubbed her eyes with her small hands, and looked again, and found that the words "Lanlan, happy birthday" were really written on the cake.

Turning her eyes, Wang Lanlan remembered: Today is my birthday?It seems true, I almost forgot...

Just thinking about it, at this time, singing suddenly sounded around, and a group of people sang "Happy Birthday Song" in unison. Wang Lanlan took a closer look and found that Liu Shiming, Lu Yuxin, Xiaomei and more than a dozen beauties were coming from all directions. They surrounded her together.

"Lan Lan, happy birthday."

"Sister Ming, how do you know that today is my birthday?"

"Ah Xing told me that he bought this birthday cake."

"Liu Xing?"

Wang Lanlan scratched her head with her little hands, with a puzzled look on her face: Strange, how did Liu Xing know about my birthday?
While thinking about it, Liu Shiming had already lit seventeen candles on the cake, and said with a smile, "Lan Lan, come here, hurry up and blow out the birthday candles."

"right."

"Remember to make a wish."

"Ah."

Seventeen candles were flickering. Standing in front of the birthday cake, Wang Lanlan closed her eyes and silently made a wish in her heart: I wish grandpa good health forever!I wish Liu Xing's book bar business is booming!I wish Sister Ming and Sister Xin grow longer and more beautiful... By the way, I wish I could see the shadow man again, hee hee!

After making her wish and blowing out the birthday candles, Wang Lanlan began to eat the birthday cake with everyone. Liu Shiming and Lu Yuxin held a small birthday party for her in the book bar.

At the party, everyone talked and laughed happily.Amid everyone's blessings and cheers, Wang Lanlan celebrated her 17th birthday.

After eleven o'clock in the evening, the party was over, and Wang Lanlan went back to the room on the second floor of the book bar to rest.When she passed the door of Liu Xing's room, she wanted to say thank you to Liu Xing face to face, but only now did she know why Liu Xing asked her to help unpack the gift box in the afternoon.

It's just that it was very late, Wang Lanlan felt that Liu Xing should be asleep, and decided not to wake him up.

Back in her room, Wang Lanlan was still very excited and couldn't fall asleep at all, so she ran to the window of the room, sat on the window sill, and stared blankly at the night sky alone.

The night gradually deepened, and the novel street was silent.

Whoosh!
Suddenly, a black shadow appeared on the street ahead, galloping towards this direction like black lightning!

"Shadow Man!"

Wang Lanlan's pretty face was overjoyed, and she shouted excitedly, "The shadow man, is that you?"

As soon as she finished shouting, the black shadow man stopped for a moment, looked up, flashed his body, flew up from the ground, ran for more than ten meters in the air, drew a long trajectory in the air, and landed on the window On a big tree opposite, facing Wang Lanlan across the air.

"Wow!"

Wang Lanlan's big eyes showed surprise, "Shadow Man, you can really fly!" Looking around, "Is there really no hanging wire?"

"You have something to do with me?" Liu Xing asked, in order to prevent his identity from being exposed, he used the technique of vocalization, turning into the voice of a middle-aged uncle.

"Hey, shadow man, you are finally willing to speak!" Wang Lanlan was so close to the shadow man for the first time, and her chest couldn't help bumping, "Shadow man, I am writing a novel about you, how much can I ask you?" question?"

"Say."

"What color do you prefer?"

"..." Can you ask some meaningful questions, Liu Xing replied, "Blue."

"what food do you like?"

"Grilled chicken wings."

"Why are you flying?"

"No comment."

"what's your name?"

"No comment."

"What's your home phone number?"

"No comment."

"What's the phone number of the house next door to you?"

"..."

"Okay, I won't ask about your personal privacy." Wang Lanlan thought for a while, "What is your dream?"

"protect the world's peace."

"Wow, your ideals are so lofty!" Wang Lanlan asked curiously, "Do you often come out at night to fight for justice, punish rape and eradicate evil?"

"Occasionally."

"Will you rest on holidays?"

"will not."

"Did someone pay you?"

"No."

"What is your source of income?"

"No comment."

……

In this way, Wang Lanlan started to ask questions one by one, asking more than 10 questions in less than 100 minutes.

"Shadow Man, do you mind if I write you in the new book?"

"will not."

"Will you read my new book when it comes out?"

"meeting."

"Really?" Wang Lanlan's eyes lighted up slightly, "Then after my new book is released, shall I give you a copy? By the way, how can I deliver the book to you?"

"You will pick it up yourself." Liu Xing said, "You have asked 119 questions, can I go?"

"Are you in a hurry?"

"Correct."

"Okay, then I'll ask one last question." Wang Lanlan rolled her eyes and asked, "Can I see you again?"

"Yes, if you stop asking so many questions."

"Hahaha! Well, I asked too many questions tonight, but I'm really glad you accepted my exclusive interview." Wang Lanlan said seriously, "Heiyingren, remember to stick to your dreams, I believe in you He will definitely be a great person!"

"Of course." Liu Xing said, "You should work hard, I'm waiting for your new book."

"Well, I will!"

"I am leaving."

"Bye-Bye……"

Before Wang Lanlan finished speaking, Liu Xing's body had already turned into a black shadow, swept away like a black hurricane, and in a blink of an eye, he was already a hundred meters away, and when the leaves on the branches were still swaying, his figure had already disappeared. In the hazy night...

"It's amazing!"

When Liu Xing completely disappeared from sight, Wang Lanlan still couldn't calm down for a long time. She didn't expect her birthday wish to come true today. She really saw the shadow man.

And I talked to him for so long!

This is the best birthday present she ever received.

"I'm so happy today, I really made money, hee hee!"

With an extremely happy mood, Wang Lanlan jumped onto the bed, lay down, and began to have her first sweet dream at the age of 17...
