Gao Yi and others pushed the door open and were startled by the welcoming bell ringing above. The female clerk at the other end of the counter heard the sound and immediately greeted her with a smile on her face: "Is this Miss Xie?"
Obviously, the movements of Xie Yingying's team had been passed on in advance. The clerk did not need to make any further preparations. He bent over and turned around, carrying a large "indescribable" "wadding stuffing" onto the counter.
"This is KK, the mascot of our amusement park."
"Of course, different from past plans, this is a new image we designed based on the ice cream mochi sundae, turning the little monster into a soft and cute mochi dumpling, which can be used as a pillow or a seat cushion..."
Then, under the extremely shocked eyes of the boys, the clerk gently patted the stuffed head of the thing, and a fluent AI electronic voice suddenly came out from his mouth: "Zizzi... Happy birthday to our little birthday boy~
"
"No way?"
"A doll?"
"Why do you feel a little ugly?"
Hearing the three people whispering behind them, Gao Yi advised: "As bystanders, we cannot criticize a gift because it does not meet our expectations. In my opinion, there is a kind of innocent beauty in this."
"Master Gao, you know how to surprise."
After all, they know that this is not for them. Whether they accept it or not, whether they like it or not, depends on what the birthday girl thinks today.
Gao Yi turned his head, and everyone's eyes were now focused on Xie Yingying, who was wearing a plain white dress. The girl pursed her lips and her eyes gradually brightened.
"So cute!"
Xie Yingying's eyes were filled with stars as she touched the stuffed dumpling's head.
The female clerk then added: "In addition to the KK dumplings, we will also give away a Children's Day themed limited edition souvenir, here it is."
She took down a plain-looking black box from the booth nearby. She didn't know where she pulled some mechanism, and the whole box suddenly fell out of the box.
The space was spread out, and a three-dimensional castle model suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"This is a souvenir made by the famous candy company Sun - 'Candy Parade'. It contains famous candy types from nearly half a century. It uses modern industrial methods to reproduce their shapes and materials. It is limited worldwide.
888888 copies.”
"Hey, look, it's gummy bears!"
Allen suddenly pointed to a vertical gummy candy on the street of halva: "I still remember that sand sculpture advertisement - it's so delicious that you can eat your own legs!"
This prize finally made Gao Yi feel that his trip was worthwhile. Seeing Xie Yingying swell with joy, he also felt a sense of accomplishment in delivering happiness.
As the sun set, on the way from the gift shop to the gate of the park, Xie Yingying held the ugly mochi dumplings and invited them to a nearby birthday party in the evening.
But let alone others, not even Gao Yi agreed.
After all, the nature of the party was different. The table was filled with relatives and friends who had close relationships with each other on weekdays. To be honest, Gao Yi felt that he was redundant when he was asked to move a chair to join the party.
"Oh well."
Xie Yingying also knew the reason why they were not accustomed to it, so she did not force it. She just bought a small cake for everyone before leaving, and treated it as a share.
"That's right, Ayi."
Before leaving, Xie Yingying suddenly stopped Gao Yi and pointed to the "Candy Parade" that the latter had been carrying: "Thank you for playing with me today. As a thank you, I give you this souvenir."
"Give it to me?"
Gao Yi was a little embarrassed.
After all, he said it was to help, but in the end he really didn't feel that he had contributed much. He just felt that he had spent a day with the beautiful girl on the amusement rides, and now he actually got gifts?
If today was really my birthday, I'm afraid it would be nothing more than that, right?
He was about to refuse, but Xie Yingying had no such intention.
She waved her hand and suddenly turned around, her hair flying in the evening breeze under the setting sun, and walked quickly towards the car.
…
In the evening, Gao Yi returned to the villa and saw Xiao Di lying on the sofa watching cartoons with a decadent look on his face. The latter saw someone coming back and looked up and down: "Did you celebrate your birthday?"
"I'm celebrating someone else's birthday."
Gao Yi put the souvenir on the display cabinet: "I don't like celebrating birthdays, and no one in the world will sincerely praise my birth. After all, I am not Jesus. Happy birthday, it's just a formal performance."
"But you can enjoy the Skittles that Jesus was not blessed to enjoy."
Xiao Di picked up a can from the coffee table, flicked a pill into his mouth, chewed and chewed: "Want one?"
"No."
Gao Yi shook his head and walked upstairs: "I'm a little tired today. I need to rest first. Remember to go back later and help me fool my cousin."
"Yes, busy man."
Xiaodi lay down comfortably again.
The time came to a quarter past ten in a blink of an eye.
The whole villa was unusually calm. Dave had already left for a trip, Ah Shen was still keeping an eye on Wei Le, and Xiao Di was getting by with his cousin. There was neither Paradise Lost nor anyone from the Executive Bureau outside the yard to disturb him.
Gao Yi played with his phone for a while and then felt sleepy. He yawned and pulled the quilt to cover his face.
"sleep."
Far away on the other side, Mr. Qian was yawning profusely at this time. He couldn't help but feel a little puzzled as he looked at the game that had just reached its peak on the computer screen.
"Strange? When did I feel so weak? It's only ten o'clock now? Why am I so sleepy?"
He stood up unsteadily and walked to the bed. At this moment, his tired spirit could only keep compromising: "Squint for a while... Just squint for a while... Just for a while..."
Mr. Qian got into bed with his clothes on, and his eyes gradually closed. But in his blur of consciousness, he suddenly felt an inexplicable suction force appearing from the top of his head, as if something was being pulled out of his body.
Then, his consciousness blurred and his brain fell into a deep sleep.
I don’t know how much time passed.
An inexplicable feeling of depression began to appear, and as time passed, it became tighter and tighter, until it completely woke him up from his sleep.
"What's going on?"
Mr. Qian opened his eyes and wanted to lift off the quilt, but was horrified to find that his arms seemed to be tied up with something.
Kidnapper?
Click!
He struggled a few more times, but found that the arm was hard and motionless.
It's a chain!
"I*!"
Mr. Qian suddenly woke up, and the remaining sleepiness disappeared along with his fear. His eyes quickly focused, and he finally saw the scene in front of him clearly.
In the empty dark space, Mr. Qian saw that he was being tightly tied to a pillar by chains, and the only light and sound around him came from an old color TV set on the ground a few meters away.
Zhi——!
The TV was turned on by someone unknown, and the snowflakes on the screen were shaking and making a sizzling noise.
