After returning to his home in Area S, Ying Xian moved part of the supplies in the space to the kitchen, put another part to the corner of the living room, and freed up some space in the space to facilitate the next time he leaves the base to continue stocking up on supplies.

.

Having so many supplies in the last days gives me a damn sense of security.

While sorting out supplies, Ying Xian glanced at the calendar. Today is November 30th...

After tomorrow, she will be twenty-two years old.

She suddenly looked up at the sky with some melancholy. It turns out that her birthday was usually spent with a few friends having a meal together, booking a KTV, and then singing all night long.

For this year’s birthday, none of my previous friends knew where they were going, and there was no KTV in the base that could stay open all night.

Soon, Ying Xian shook his head and pushed all these thoughts away.

I am very happy to be alive now, so why do I think so much?

After sorting out the supplies, the fatigue from today seemed to be sweeping over him at this moment. Ying Xian was so sleepy that he yawned, so he decided to ignore him and go back to his room to take a nap first.

He slept until dark. Ying Xian woke up from thirst. When he was about to go out to get a glass of water, he saw that the doors of Chu Zheng and Shu Kongdu's rooms were open, but there was no one in the room.

Ying Xian glanced at his watch, it was now around eleven o'clock in the evening.

Where can I go this late at night?

She didn't think much about it. After pouring a glass of water and drinking it, she sat cross-legged on the sofa, took out the small house she had built in the capital base from the space, and found a corner in the living room to put it away.

There was no one in the room, and it was quiet. The only sound left was Ying Xian's own breathing and heartbeat. It was so quiet that it was a bit scary.

She sat on the sofa, used vines to turn off the lights, and then drew the blackout curtains tightly to block out the moonlight and streetlights.

Ying Xian, who had not been alone in a big house like this for a long time, suddenly felt a little confused.

She reached out and turned on the light strip in the small house. Those small bulbs glowed with a soft, warm yellow halo, shining from the house to the surrounding tabletops.

Ying Xian just looked at the small house like this, and was in a daze for a long time. When he looked at the time again, almost an hour had passed.

Chu Zheng and Shu Kongdu haven't come back yet.

Ying Xian sniffed and poured herself a cup of hot water. Just as she was about to go back to her room, she heard chaotic footsteps and voices coming from outside the door.

She put down the water glass and prepared to open the door.

But the person outside opened the door first and came in. At a glance, Ying Xian saw the two-layer cake held by Shu Kongdu and a large group of team members behind him.

"Happy birthday, Ying Xian."

Shu Kongdu held the cake in front of Ying Xian, with a gentle smile in his eyes, "Make a wish and then blow out the candles."

Ying Xian was really dumbfounded at this time, although the cake looked a bit sloppy, and even the whole cake was only white, purple and green, which was completely different from those exquisite cakes before the apocalypse.

But you can also see that it was not easy to get.

Four heads were painted on the cake with purple cream and 22 lit candles were inserted.

Her nose felt sore, but when she saw everyone standing at the door, she quickly closed her eyes, clasped her hands together and made a wish, and then blew out the candles.

"I thought you were going to do something. You're not at home this late at night." Ying Xian quickly made way for the team members to enter the living room.

Her tone sounded a little aggrieved, and her eyes were red. Chu Zheng quickly put his arm around her shoulder to comfort her.

"Aren't you asleep? So I asked Shu Kongdu and the team members to go out to look for ingredients for making cakes. After asking around in the commercial street, I found some cream. Then I went downstairs to find a kitchen with an oven.

We just made the cake base. Also, weren’t birthdays always stuck in the past? We can’t give up this tradition just because it’s the end of the world, so we let you stay at home alone for so long.”

Seeing that Ying Xian was so moved that she was about to cry, Chu Zheng had no choice but to hold her half in his arms, touch her head and pat her shoulders to comfort her.

There were fifteen more people in the originally terrifyingly quiet house, and it suddenly became noisy.

Zhou Yannan smiled and put a hand-painted birthday hat on Ying Xian's head, then waved his hand and everyone started singing happy birthday.

As a result, you were talking to each other, and your singing suddenly became chaotic. In the end, even the tune changed, and various birthday songs were mixed together, which sounded nondescript.

But Ying Xian was still very happy.

"After singing happy birthday, our captain is going to start sharing the cake? We haven't eaten cake in a long time, hurry up!"

Zhou Yannan shouted, but he didn't see the stiff expressions on Chu Zheng and Ying Xian's faces.

In the entire living room, only Chu Zheng knew how outstanding Ying Xian's cake-cutting skills were.

To put it simply... a good cake can be cut by her to the point of making people lose their appetite. Therefore, the activity of cutting the cake is basically done by Chu Zheng, who can cut it more beautifully.

And the most important thing is, there is cake but no knife to cut the cake.

Ying Xian thought for a while and took out a kitchen knife from the space that he had casually put in in the supermarket before, without even unpacking it.

"As expected, he is the captain. The knives used to cut the cake are so unique." Zhang Shengnan couldn't help laughing, "Then I will go to the kitchen to get a bowl. Let's eat the cake with the bowl today."

After the bowl was in place, Ying Xian, under the eager eyes of the team members, picked up the kitchen knife and started cutting.

As a result, her first cut was wrong, and everyone saw a black line.

The cake that ended up in everyone's bowl can be described as crumbly.

Chu Zheng on the side felt very embarrassed for a moment, covering her face and not daring to look at the cake in her bowl. As a result, Zhou Yannan, who finished the cake at the speed of light, took away most of it.

Then, the two got into trouble again.

Ying Xian originally ate the cake with his head down, but for some reason, Chu Zheng and Zhou Yannan were fighting each other, so they moved to her side, and then with lightning speed, smeared the cream on Ying Xian's face.

.

Ying Xian: I just eat a cake.

Perhaps it was Chu Zheng and Zhou Yannan who started it, but the team members instantly became excited, and everyone put cream on each other's faces.

The living room is not big, and by the end, everyone’s faces were covered in cream.

As Zhou Yannan said before, if you have been suppressed for too long, find an opportunity to be wild.

Everyone had a great time, and the younger ones in the team became excited. Even Qi Zhao, who had been silent during this period, was visibly happy.

Shu Kongdu returned to the room with the cream all over Ying Xian's face, found a gift box from the cabinet, and gave it to Ying Xian.

"Would you like to open the birthday present and take a look?"

Ying Xian looked at the exquisitely wrapped gift box with some surprise, but he opened the gift box honestly in his hands.

Inside is a necklace box. In the box is a necklace with a relatively thick chain, and a polyhedron inlaid with diamonds hangs in the middle.

Shu Kongdu explained with some embarrassment, "The necklaces that can be bought now are basically very popular styles. I had to buy a few of them. After melting them with supernatural powers, I made a new one myself. It's a bit unsightly."

Ying Xian picked up the necklace from the box and curled his lips.

"I think it looks great. I finally have a necklace. Please put it on me."
