Coming of age ceremony, birthday, these two words are definitely rare in Tianyi Wu.
On this planet where life can be used as a bargaining chip at will, people's age has long lost any meaning.
But it is in such a cruel world that Kafka can receive Bai Heng's birthday gifts every year, as well as the birthday party carefully prepared for her.
This year is no exception.
"Here, this year's birthday gift~"
Putting a large box wrapped in purple ribbon in front of Kafka, Susan smiled and rubbed her head, her tone light.
After a few years of getting along, the relationship between this beautiful female demon hunter and Kafka is no longer as stiff as the first time.
"What is this?"
While talking, Kafka opened the large box, and when she saw what was lying inside, she showed a little surprise on her face.
Inside was an oak-colored violin.
"A work by the master of music Pinocchio, you couldn't get it without 50,000 credit points in the past few years~"
"But it is said that the master has fallen on hard times in recent years, and he had to sell some of the good stuff hidden in his home at a low price, and then I got it."
Susan explained happily, and it seemed that Kafka's surprise made her very satisfied.
"By the way, where is Little Crow? Shouldn't he come with you?" Susan put her right hand above her eyebrows and looked around the hotel.
"Hmm..." Kafka smiled delicately, "We came together, but before coming in, he said he had an urgent matter to deal with."
"Emergency?" Susan frowned.
"He should have gone to change the gift temporarily." Kafka shook her head and smiled bitterly.
Before Bai Heng left, she saw the box in his hand. If nothing unexpected happened, the box contained the black coat she guessed, which was her coming-of-age gift.
Actually, Kafka didn't care what the gift was. It didn't matter if there was one or not. As long as Bai Heng could be with her on her birthday, she would be satisfied.
But in Bai Heng's eyes, it was different. Birthdays were memorable days. If you wanted a day to leave a deep impression in your mind, you had to have an item with deep enough meaning.
That's the meaning of birthday gifts.
"You and him haven't made any progress at all." Susan sat down and moved closer to Kafka, with an undisguised gossipy smile on her face.
Kafka moved aside, her eyes were alert: "What is this? Spying on the enemy? And so openly?"
"Hey! We agreed on healthy competition before, how can you say you are spying on the enemy? Besides, I gave you advice before!" Susan was indignant and expressed dissatisfaction with Kafka's words.
Healthy competition doesn't refer to anything else.
It's Bai Heng.
Yes! Both this S-class female demon hunter Susan and Kafka are very interested in Bai Heng.There is a feeling of that kind.
Needless to say, the former, they have been together for several years, and she would come to visit from time to time with food, and even find various reasons to take Kafka and Bai Heng out for dinner.
On the surface, she seemed to be targeting Kafka, but in fact, her target was Bai Heng from beginning to end.
She just used Kafka to do a trick of openly cultivating Kafka and secretly crossing Bai Heng.
As for Kafka.
She didn't know when this change in feelings began.
From simple dependence at the beginning, to the subsequent desire to attract more attention from Bai Heng, wanting him to look at her more, wanting him to smile because of her.
At first, Kafka didn't know what this emotion was, until she saw the description of the word "like" in a book.
Then...she confirmed her thoughts.
Yes, she had a feeling of love for this man who raised her for seven years.
Because of this, the two women who had a decent relationship hit it off and signed a fair treaty of healthy competition.
"Does planning mean telling me that men like mature women? But even in front of me like this, he is still as calm as a monk in meditation..."
Pointing at her charming makeup and pulling the purple stockings, Kafka complained dissatisfiedly.
"Pfft..." Covering her mouth, Susan was very satisfied with the result, "Maybe he is not interested in you~"
"In this case, he must have no such thoughts about the woman who has been around him for more than ten years~" Kafka retorted mercilessly.
This is the way most of the conversations between the two when they are alone, almost all of them are carried out by mutual criticism, and it has been like this for seven years.
And just when the war between the two became more and more intense.
Bai Heng came back.
He was still holding the small box he had left with Kafka, and his breathing was a little difficult.
Obviously, during that period of time, he had walked around the shops around him, trying to change the gift. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Just from the unchanged small box, he didn't get the choice he wanted.
"Happy birthday." Bai Heng pushed the small box in front of Kafka and said this blessing with a helpless look on his face.
Slowly opening the box, after seeing what was inside, Kafka's purple eyes flashed with surprise.
As she guessed, there was indeed a piece of clothing in the box, but it was not an ordinary coat.
It was a black cloak-style shawl coat with a soft texture. Whether it was the layout of the clothes or the pattern on it, it was very much to Kafka's liking.
There is a saying that goes well.
When a man can buy a woman a piece of clothing she likes, he must have put a lot of thought into her.
Just as Bai Heng knows Kafka, Kafka also knows Bai Heng very well.
She knows that he is notHe is a person who is particularly good at clothes, and he is even more casual in dressing.
And such a person can pick out such a gift...[]
It is not difficult to see how much thought he put into it.
A little happiness was brewing in Kafka's chest. She looked up at Bai Heng, with an unconcealed smile on her delicate face.
"Thank you (King)..."
The birthday party was very pleasant. After the party, Kafka and Bai Heng returned to their residence.
It was still the simple apartment. After seven years, this apartment had not changed much.
"Go take a shower first." Leaving this sentence, Bai Heng took out a cigarette from his arms and walked to the balcony.
Just when he was about to light it, he noticed Kafka following him from the corner of his eye.
"What's wrong?" Bai Heng asked after turning off the lighter.
Seeing his expression, Kafka smiled lightly. She took the lighter from Bai Heng and lit it for him herself.
"As you said, I have passed the adulthood ceremony and am no longer the child who needs your protection. There is no need to hide cigarettes from me anymore."
"Similarly, you and Susan are hiding things from me."
"It's time to tell me."
