Join the Great Wall Guard

Chapter 38 Tanabata Special Chapter

"Well, the sun is about to rise."

Still stretching sleepily, Lu Yu lazily got up from the bed.

The Great Wall Guards can't sleep late, although the sun has just risen in the morning, everything is hidden in the vitality that has not yet burst out.

"Wait a minute, today is August 25?!"

The hand that was flipping through the calendar suddenly froze in the air, and an important news flooded into his mind.

It turned out that today is his birthday, Lu Yu just remembered.

However, this is also based on the world he was originally in. Now that he is in the king's world, there may be some deviations in time.

But, soon, Lu Yu's hand was put down, just like his lowered eyebrows at this time.

"Tsk, it's just a birthday, it doesn't mean anything anyway."

Laughing self-deprecatingly, the original enthusiasm was extinguished by the cold water poured on him.

Ever since he was a child, Lu Yu has never had anyone else come to celebrate his birthday. Every time, he is alone facing the seemingly gorgeous and luxurious birthday cake, staring at the flickering candlelight, and silently promises that he will not be happy at all. A wish that might happen.

When the candle is blown out, a little light in my heart is also extinguished.

It doesn't make any sense, and it doesn't make any sense.

Instead of thinking about how to spend your birthday, think about what to have for lunch today.

Since Lu Yu learned from Baili Shouyue, his cooking skills have improved a lot. Hua Mulan even said with a smile that in the future, there is no need to bother Shouyue alone.

Why don't you treat yourself to a good meal today?

With this in mind, Lu Yu walked to the kitchen.

However, early in the morning, cooking smoke rose from the kitchen.

Under the reflection of the morning sun, the rising smoke from the kitchen looks hazy and unreal, as charming as a ray of tulle.

Moreover, through the cooking smoke, you can smell a tangy fragrance.

"Observe the promise? You started preparing meals so early?"

Entering the kitchen, Lu Yu first saw Shou Yue busy.

"Hey, today we have to improve the food, of course we have to work earlier."

Shouyue smiled mysteriously, and greeted Lu Yu at the same time: "Since you are here, please help me."

"Oh."

Lu Yu came in response to the sound, while thinking in his heart.

Improve food?

Could it be, is today a special day?

Could it be that keeping the promise knows that today is his birthday?

Do you want to surprise yourself by improving the food?

"Oh, keep the promise, there is no need to improve the food so politely, it will be so embarrassing."

Lu Yu smiled while helping to add firewood.

Knowing my birthday and wanting to give myself a surprise, keeping the promise is really heart-warming.

"Excuse me? Yes, the sudden surprise seems to be a bit right for her. Lu Yu, do you also know that today is the captain's birthday?"

"Hmmmm?"

Regarding the issue of keeping the contract, Lu Yu nodded subconsciously at first, but soon realized that this sentence was not referring to himself.

It's talking about Hua Mulan.

Good guy, it turned out that Ganqing improved the food this time, and it wasn't for himself, so I got excited for nothing.

wait a minute

Today is Mulan's birthday?

He was still in a little loss at first, but when Lu Yu reacted, he was stunned and speechless.

"Oh, don't you know?"

Shou Yue was also taken aback. Hearing what Lu Yu said just now, he thought he knew that today was Hua Mulan's birthday.

"Since you don't know, keep it a secret."

Shouyue knocked on his forehead, and smiled helplessly. Unexpectedly, it was only early in the morning, and he had already been exposed.

"Today is not only the captain's birthday, but also another special day."

Shou Yue said slowly while preparing the dishes.

"special?"

"That's right, today is Qixi Festival."

Stopping the spoon that was making the golden soup in his hand, Shouyue showed a gentle and sunny smile.

"The captain has been so busy guarding the Great Wall that she has even forgotten her own birthday. Although her birthday is not a very important event, since today is two special days, I gave her a surprise to thank her for always take care of us all.”

"The Qixi Festival is here, I don't know where is the Cowherd who belongs to Mulan?"

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Hua Mulan must never hear these words, Shou Yue told Lu Yu like this.

"Observe the promise, in fact, today is also my birthday."

""

"Boom"

As if hearing something extraordinary, Shouyue's usually calm and quiet face became extremely surprised, unbelievable, and even dropped the spoon in his hand to the ground.

The sunlight passed through the clouds and reflected into the desert.

In the endless yellow sand, there is a Guan City. Although it is not luxurious and spectacular, it is small and complete. Many business travelers and border residents communicate with each other here. The economy and environment are still considered to be above average. wait.

However, such Guan City is often coveted by bandits in the desert, or those demon species.

But for some reason, today, there is no trace of the enemy, nor is there any smell of killing intent.

The wind is sunny and sunny, except for some scorching air waves above the desert, there seems to be no place for people to be picky at all.

"Today, isn't it a little too strange to be calm?"

Hua Mulan folded her arms, although the surrounding atmosphere was very peaceful, she still couldn't let go of her heart.

"Sister Mulan, if there is nothing wrong, don't be so nervous."

Lu Yu smiled wryly at the side, it was best if no one came to disturb this good date, but Hua Mulan's vigilance was still so sensitive.

"I really don't know why they would suggest us to come to this place as promised."

Shaking her head helplessly, Hua Mulan sighed softly.

"Ahem, Sister Mulan, the people are safe and sound, isn't it the best situation? Since there is no special situation right now, how about we just take a stroll around this city?"

Lu Yu suggested that although his face looked normal at this moment, his heart was beating non-stop at this moment.

"Well, you're right, it's not a bad thing to relax once in a while."

Hua Mulan smiled heartily.

At this time, inside the Great Wall.

"Observe the promise, are you sure you want the two of them to stay together, is there nothing wrong?"

Su Lie was holding a bowl of wine, but in front of his huge body, that bowl of wine was as small as a bean sprout.

He is a rough guy, he doesn't understand the relationship between men and women, he just thinks it's a bit inappropriate.

At the same time, his eyes inadvertently glanced at Kai, who was indifferent and silent.

"Hehe, it's not a bad thing for Lu Yu to take the captain to relax during these rare days."

Shouyue smiled while wiping the sniper rifle in his hand.

"Really, that kid has the same birthday as Mulanshi."

Su Lie shook his head and put the wine to his mouth.

"Kai, what do you think?"

After drinking the strong wine in the bowl easily, Su Lie passed a wine jar to Kai beside him.

"It has nothing to do with me."

He didn't reject the wine jar, but his blue eyes didn't seem to even blink, just like his indifferent eyes at this time.

Kai stood up silently, and then left silently carrying the wine jar.

"Kai, you won't be pissed off, will you?"

Su Lie sighed, he just wanted to give Kai a sip of strong wine, but now the whole wine jar has been taken away.

"If he was really angry, Lu Yu wouldn't be alive and kicking like he is now."

After finally cleaning the magnifying glass of the sniper rifle, he kept his promise and smiled in satisfaction. He didn't know whether this smile was for himself or for the two people far away in Guan City.

"Hey, this is"

"Miss, you really know what to buy. This is a bracelet made of the most beautiful agate in the entire Yunzhong Modi! How about it? If you like it, how about I sell it to you at a [-]% discount?"

"But, I haven't said that I want to buy it yet."

Walking through many shops, the goods inside can be described as dazzling, with everything that one expects to find, which makes people overwhelmed.

And Hua Mulan is even more curious about the ornaments made of agate or crystal jade.

"Hey, miss, is this your partner next to you? Why don't you ask him to buy it for you?"

The boss with the mustache didn't wait for Hua Mulan's trembling lips to squeeze out an excuse, and turned to Lu Yu with a greasy smile, and said:

"Young man, I see that you are a beautiful couple, a natural couple! In this way, today is the Qixi Festival. As long as you buy this bracelet now, I will give you a [-]% discount, and buy one get one free , I wish you a long life! Think about it, such a beautiful bracelet, with such a beautiful beauty"

The boss rubbed his hands together and smiled expectantly, but that smile made people look very wretched.

"Ahem, well, we're not a couple."

Lu Yu glanced at Hua Mulan beside her with black lines all over her face, and explained with a wry smile.

"Oh? Could it be siblings?"

The boss rubbed his mustache and guessed.

"Go away, are you still selling it?"

Afraid Hua Mulan could not hold back his anger, Lu Yu quickly changed the subject.

"Sell it, it's the same as before, still 99% off, [-]."

The boss clicked his nose indifferently.

"[-]% off? Boss, what's the difference between this and no discount?"

Lu Yu couldn't help laughing angrily. When he told Hua Mulan before, didn't he still say [-]% off?

Moreover, it was still 99. The boss probably drank fake wine.

"Young man, this bracelet of mine is made of agate excavated from Yucheng. It is priceless! If you sell it at a [-]% discount, I will already lose a fortune!"

What the boss said seems to be the same thing, but as everyone knows, Lu Yu is much more proficient than him in terms of bargaining.

"Boss, look at the fineness of your agate, it's green and red, it's not pure, and the edges and corners haven't been smoothed at all, that's it? I didn't expect that it would sell for 99 yuan."

"What price do you want?"

The boss blew his beard and stared. He didn't expect this young man to have such good eyesight, so he couldn't be fooled.

"One thousand gold coins, do you want love or not."

Lu Yu crossed his arms and looked calm, waiting to continue to bargain.

"Okay, one thousand is one thousand, I'm unlucky."

The boss pretended to be losing money, and said heartbroken.

"Sister Mulan, how about it? If you like it, I will buy it."

Lu Yu looked at Hua Mulan beside him, but Hua Mulan was lowering her head at this time, unable to see her expression clearly.

"no need."

The whispered words seemed to be drowned by the sea of ​​people at any moment, Hua Mulan slowly raised her head, the blush on her face made people feel compassionate.

"I originally wanted to buy it, but you said that this bracelet has so many shortcomings, so I don't want to buy it."

Hua Mulan turned her head a little arrogantly, as if she didn't want to meet Lu Yu's eyes.

"Boss, I bought it."

He handed out the gold coins and took two bracelets from the boss. Before Hua Mulan's slightly parted red lips could say anything, Lu Yu wrapped the bracelets around Hua Mulan's hands.

""

Hua Mulan didn't refuse, but just watched Lu Yu silently, carefully wrapping the bracelet around her hand.

At the same time, Lu Yu also wrapped the other around his hand.

"This is a commemoration. Today is the birthday of the two of us. This is the memory that belongs to the two of us."

Lu Yu murmured, the warm sun at noon shone on his face, as if sprinkled with a layer of broken gold, and his smile looked extraordinarily gentle.

"Look, isn't this beautiful?"

Lifting his hand up to match the bracelet in Hua Mulan's hand, Lu Yu smiled.

"Um"

Under the noon sun, the crystal clear bracelet exuded a unique light, which made Hua Mulan a little dazzled, just like her turbulent mind at this time.

At night, inside the Great Wall.

"Keeping the promise, the dishes are getting cold, Mulan and Lu Yu haven't come back yet?"

Su Lie said, this dinner was supposed to be a birthday celebration for Hua Mulan and Lu Yu when the whole team was waiting for them to come back together, but it had been a long time and there was no news of the two of them.

"Wow, bro, I'm so hungry!"

Xuan Ce thumped, wanting to climb up to the dining table to have a feast, but was "ruthlessly" dragged down by the promise.

"Perhaps, I went to see the meeting of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl."

Shouyue stroked Xuan Ce's little head, and smiled helplessly.

The sand is like snow, and the stars are like the sea.

Looking back at the endless desert in front of him, it is just like the endless sky and the endless galaxy at this time.

Hua Mulan and Lu Yu sat on the Great Wall, staring at the starry sky.

"Once a year, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet in the Milky Way."

Lu Yu told the story of Cowherd and Weaver Girl, while Hua Mulan listened quietly.

Today, she was very happy, especially with Lu Yu by her side, which made her have a happy birthday for the first time.

The feeling that she had never felt before made her feel as if something was slowly sprouting in the depths of her heart.

"Cowherd and Weaver Girl? Are they partners?"

Staring at the endless Tianhe, Hua Mulan asked.

"Well, even though the sky is far apart, the two will still meet on Qixi Festival."

"It's wonderful to be able to watch each other."

Lu Yu also looked at the sky with affection and emotion, as if that piece was the Milky Way where Cowherd and Weaver Girl meet.

""

Turning her head slightly, Hua Mulan's eyes refocused on Lu Yu's face.

Some choked up, and there seemed to be no words in his throat.

So, Lu Yu, what is between us?

In the sky, there are two shining meteors passing side by side.

PS: Some places have nothing to do with history, and are purely personal. Writing this is just for fun.
