"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday!!!!"

When Hanako sang the birthday song, she still didn't have the right style. The first two lines were fine, but then she started to emphasize the pronunciation of certain words.

Natsume just laughed and didn't care too much.

"Okay, make a wish, and then blow out the candles!" Although the cake made by Ms. Liang herself looks ordinary, there is something special inside. It is said that there are a lot of "violent ingredients" inside, and we will see who is the "luckiest" later.

.

Natsume closed her eyes silently, and after a while, she blew out all the candles with a "whoosh" sound.

"thank you all."

"Hey, hey, don't worry, I haven't given you the gift yet." Hanako took out the gift that she had prepared and handed it to Natsume in a manly manner.

Masato also took out the gift he had prepared.

Ms. Liang also has gifts, but they are not wrapped at all.

"Here, kid, take the flowers."

When everyone saw Ms. Liang's gift, they all had dark expressions on their faces.

Especially Natsume, he didn't know whether he should answer it...

"Hey! Mom, how can you give someone a wad of money as a gift?" Hanako was really convinced, and she was very sour: "Speaking of which, your daughter has never been so generous when she has grown up.

!”

Liang Qiuru raised her eyebrows: "Hey, can what you give to your son-in-law be the same as what you give to your daughter?"

Natsume's eyes suddenly widened and he immediately retracted his hand.

"Daughter...son-in-law?" Natsume looked at Liang Qiuru in surprise.

Liang Qiuru immediately said three times: "Oh no, I let it slip... He is my daughter's good brother! You live next door to our house, and your parents are not around. You usually take such good care of my Hanako, and today is your birthday again."

, just accept it."

Natsume shook her head violently to express her refusal: "No, no, no, Auntie, this gift is too expensive, I dare not accept it."

"Hey, it's not expensive. I just want to give her away for this burden! Hahaha!" Ms. Liang was really generous.

However, after saying these words, Natsume became less embarrassed and began to care about Hanako's mood.

Hanako, who was smiling a second ago, now has a gloomy look on her face.

Seeing this, Masato quickly cut a piece of cake and sent it to Hanako: "Uh... Well, Hanako, look, this is your favorite cake!"

Only then did Hanako get better. She took the cake and said resentfully while eating: "Hey, many old people are getting older. When they are lying in the hospital bed, they wish they had their children by their side... Don't you think so?

Ms. Liang?”

Liang Qiuru smiled slightly: "Yes, my good daughter, Mom still expects you to give birth to a big fat boy for me!"

Hanako smiled perfunctorily, and then...

"Uh!...Bah, bah, bah!" What is this? It's sour and spicy?"

"Tengjiao, your aunt in Sichuan sent it to me. I never knew how to eat it, so I put it in the cake as a surprise. How is it? Does it taste authentic?"

"How can anyone put vine pepper in a cake?!" Hanako was almost driven crazy by her mother.

Natsume was just about to use the knife and fork, but when she saw Hanako like this, she didn't dare to eat it.

"I didn't expect that my baby girl would be so lucky. She would get this surprise I prepared in one bite?! Haha, don't you think so, Natsume-san?"

"Uh...hehe...yes auntie, Hanako...is quite lucky."

"Eat, eat, don't be stunned. And you, Masato, look at you. You are already thin. Is it because your father doesn't let you eat meat? Why are you getting thinner and thinner?"

Masato was also preparing to hide the cake quietly, but now she couldn't hide it.

I had no choice but to show heroic self-sacrifice and force myself to eat it!

Then……

"Wow..." Natsume ate pepper...

Masato... ate sausage...

All in all, this birthday party was really special.

…

After Ms. Liang was drunk, she was sent back to the room and fell asleep.

Masato also said goodbye.

When Hanako and Natsume started to pack their things, Natsume asked: "Hanako... After my uncle passed away, did my aunt miss him very much?"

Hanako, who was washing the dishes, stopped and said, "Who knows...she rarely does this. Maybe she was stimulated by something else."

Natsume's heart trembled, and then asked: "What about you, do you miss your uncle very much?"

Hanako continued to wash the dishes. She took a deep breath and sighed softly: "Think about it, when Dad was still here, he often took me to the laboratory to play. Our relationship is very good... But so what, he always

He was stupid, rushing to the front line of everything, and never thought about how sad his daughter and women would be."

woman?

Pfft... Natsume couldn't help laughing and secretly sighed: 'Only Hanako can say this...'

But the smile only lasted for a moment, and Natsume quickly remembered that this girl was not the Hanako he was familiar with.

After everything was cleaned up and Hanako was about to leave, Natsume suddenly stopped her and said, "Um, Hanako, do you like to watch the stars?"

Hanako was stunned when he heard this, then looked at Natsume ambiguously and said: "Oh ho ho, I want to invite my sisters to watch the stars and the moon, brother, do you have other plans?"

Natsume didn't explain much. He took out a backpack from the cabinet and opened it. Inside was a set of astronomical telescopes. This kind of thing is not available in the market now and is a rare "contraband".

Hanako has known since she was very young that the government has completely banned personal observation of astronomy, although she doesn't know what the reasons for this are.

"Hey, do you really have hidden equipment?"

Natsume smiled: "These are my grandfather's things. Before he passed away, he left these things to me as relics."

"Oh oh oh, then... where should we go to see it?"

"Go to the sea and go to a place with few lights."

"OK! Let's go~~"

…

When Natsume sailed away with Hanako, Liang Qiuru stood on the balcony and watched them go away.

Her eyes were filled with tears, and she pressed her hand hard on the armrest. The elegant man beside her didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only stay with her silently.

…

The place without lights that Natsume was talking about is located inside an artificial island group in an ecological zone that is yet to be developed.

The artificial islands distributed in a crescent shape have not yet started construction on them, so the entire area is pitch black.

Under the night sky, the silent sea surface gives people an uneasy and eerie feeling.

Fortunately, with Natsume here, Hanako's mood is quite stable.

When the ship stopped, Natsume set up the telescope, adjusted the angle, and then turned off the lights on the ship.

"Look, this is what the moon looks like when you look up close."

Hanako leaned over curiously, and immediately opened her mouth in surprise: "Oh ho ho ho! It's so big! Oh my God, I have never seen the moon so carefully! Tsk, tsk, tsk! But the moon's skin

It’s really not that good, it’s all full of pimple marks! It’s full of bumps and bumps!”

There are really many adjectives for Hanako.

However, Natsume was not in the mood to make trouble with her at this time.

He had already prepared gasoline on the boat, pulled out his pistol, and put it against the back of Hanako's head.

At the moment when the cold muzzle of the gun came into contact with Hanako's skin, Hanako's first reaction was not to freeze, but to touch it without warning. She smiled and shrank her neck and said, "What are you doing? What is this? It's so cold.

?”

"Gun." Natsume said.

Hanako's smile froze, and when she turned her face, the gun was pointed between her eyebrows.

"You...Natsume...you...why are you pointing a gun at me?" Hanako couldn't believe her eyes. She was completely confused: "This...what kind of divine expansion is this...you...shouldn't you

Could it be a prank?"

Natsume didn't say anything. He quickly raised the muzzle of his gun and fired into the sky, then pointed it at Hanako.

When the gunfire rang out, Hanako was frightened. She looked at Natsume in horror and said incoherently: "I...you...Natsume...Natsume?! What on earth...what do you want to do? Don't kill me.

!”

Natsume's heart was trembling, but he didn't move the muzzle of his gun. He asked: "Who are you?"

"Me? I'm Hanako! Momozawa Hanako?"
