Reborn in the last days, I hoard goods to support my teammates

Chapter 165 Happy birthday!

"Wait!" Xiang Biao called out after hesitating for a moment. He raised a hand and looked directly at Qiao Yun. His mouth opened and closed but nothing could be said.

Qiao Yun slowly turned around in confusion, and happened to meet Xiang Biao's eyes. Snow suddenly began to fall in the sky.

The snow was not heavy, and it fell lightly on the top of Xiang Biao's hair like a feather. Under the illumination of the street lamp, the traces of falling snow were particularly obvious.

"What's wrong? Do you have anything else to say to me?" Seeing Xiang Biao's delay in speaking, Qiao Yun felt confused and asked.

Xiang Biao was stunned for a moment. After a few seconds, he took a deep breath and walked forward. He spread his arms and gave Qiao Yun a big hug, and quickly pressed his face against Qiao Yun's left cheek.

After a moment, quickly move back a position.

"You?" Qiao Yun was startled by Xiang Biao's sudden move, but she quickly understood what he meant. She raised her head and looked at Xiang Biao with a smile, without saying anything, as if she was waiting for him to explain.

Because "Western Etiquette" was backlit, Qiao Yun could not see the expression on Xiang Biao's face very clearly, but she could tell it from the tone of his words.

Xiang Biao must be in a panic now. He lowered his head and raised his hand to scratch his ears, and said hesitantly, "I, I, will pick you up tomorrow morning!"

After speaking, Xiang Biao left directly as if running away.

Qiao Yun smiled with satisfaction. It seemed that everyone must have gathered in the living room now, and she felt very happy.

Tong Tianhui waved his hands in disgust, as if he had seen a ghost, and the features on his face wrinkled together, "Don't say such disgusting things! There is no need to say thank you between us!"

But her move directly frightened everyone present, and everyone was instantly embarrassed by Qiao Yun's words.

"As the hardest working one among us, you are also our captain. If we really don't celebrate your birthday, we will feel very sorry." Tong Tianhui put one hand on Zhao Liang's shoulder and agreed.

The entire living room seemed to have been carefully decorated. Balloons and ribbons, which were rare in the apocalypse, were stuck to the wall. Even the khaki sofa was decorated with many colorful ocean balls.

There is also a piece of cardboard taped to the coffee table, with different handwriting on it, as if everyone has written on it.

"Sister, sister, put the candles! I want to eat the cake!" He Xin didn't care what Qiao Yun said, as he never took his eyes away from the cake.

It looks very old-fashioned. This kind of cake is not common nowadays. People nowadays like small and exquisite shapes. The shape of this cake would look very cheap before the end of the world.

"Happy birthday!" A burst of cheers suddenly came from behind Qiao Yun. The sound was so loud that it almost deafened Qiao Yun's ears.

Thanks to He Xin's words, the delicate atmosphere was instantly broken, and everyone immediately broke free from the awkward and shy mood, as if they had been saved.

"You?" Qiao Yun turned her head in a circle and looked at the group of people standing behind her.

Yes, they are already family members, and family members must have the courage to express their feelings.

Cen Gui was abnormal. He didn't resist the physical contact between Liu Ruxu and himself. He just stood there and leaned against her, silently nodding in agreement with what Liu Ruxu said.

Qiao Yun looked at his leaving figure. Under the dim light of the street lamp, his figure looked particularly lonely.

Qiao Yun sat stupidly on the sofa, pointed at the words on the card, and read out word by word, "Happy birthday! Qiao Yun, happy birthday!"

Everyone's faces were filled with smiles, and they all looked at Qiao Yun's face intently, as if expecting her reaction.

"Yes, yes, insert candles and make a wish!" Chu Yao took out a bundle of small candles from behind him and inserted twelve candles in total on the cake one by one.

I just simply decorated a few pink flowers with cream, wrapped a circle of light yellow cream around the outer edge of the cake, and finally decorated the corners with available pearl sugar.

"But I really mean it!" Qiao Yun suddenly blushed, but uncharacteristically, she directly expressed her inner thoughts.

Zhao Liang scratched his head in embarrassment, raised his finger and pointed at Cen Gui, and said, "When we were chatting today, we talked about your birthday. Only then did we know that your birthday had already passed."

"Click." She opened the entrance door with a smile on her face. The changes in the living room surprised her.

This cake is similar to the ones Qiao Yun saw when she was a child. It is different from the cakes before the apocalypse. There are not so many gorgeous decorations and there are no bulky fondant dolls.

Liu Ruxu, Cen Gui, Chu Yao, Tong Tianhui, Zhao Liang, Zhong Shu and He Xin were all standing behind her, among them Cen Gui was holding a cake in his hand.

"Today seems like it's not my birthday, right?" Qiao Yun thought she had remembered the time wrongly, so she quickly took out her phone and looked at the date. It was February now, and her birthday was in November, four months ago.

.

She quickly walked into the front yard and saw that the lights in the living room were still on. She could vaguely see the figures inside through the light yellow curtains. Qiao Yun raised her hand and counted the number of people inside.

She was very happy that Cen Gui could get out of the haze in her heart and return to a normal life again.

"You are already an uncle, and you are still so unstable." Qiao Yun also turned around, opened the door of her residence, and murmured in a low voice, with a bright smile on her lips. She didn't even notice that she was smiling.

I remember my birthday when I was a child. My mother would always buy me a cake like this, but she was too busy.

"Is this a make-up birthday for me?" Qiao Yun felt a little touched for a moment. She looked at everyone standing behind her gratefully, "I'm very happy, thank you."

Maybe she was used to the exquisite cakes in those cake shops, but now looking at this simple cake, Qiao Yun even felt a little nostalgic.

"That's right, everyone else is fine, our Captain Qiao's birthday must be celebrated!" Liu Ruxu stood aside and said, leaning against Cen Gui.

On your birthday, you can only put the candles, light the candles, blow out the candles, and cut the cake yourself.

The cake was so big that Qiao Yun could eat it for several days each time, but she couldn't finish it every time and had to throw the broken cake into the trash can.

But things are different now. Qiao Yun already has a family. She doesn't have to put candles and cut cakes by herself. There will no longer be endless birthday cakes in the refrigerator.

Perhaps from the moment they met, Qiao Yun no longer felt lonely.
