The tree demon seizes the house and chases after the wife

Is it a birthday present?

Jiang Bai left Starbucks and counted the days.

April 29th.

The day to go back is May [-]st.

Thinking of the unscrupulous kiss of the drunken girl last night, Jiang Bai's heart skipped a beat.

——I will not promise things that may not be completed.

And impossible hope, she can not give.

The black-haired girl looked down at the painkillers in the bag, and then thought of what Qi Mu said just now, and her mood became complicated.

Boss Gu...is a very nice person.

But when she saw Boss Gu, she couldn't help but think of another person.

It's not fair to anyone.

So, she can't give promises and she can't give hope.

"Birthday present."

Jiang Bai turned around and went to the boutique.

According to Boss Gu, it seems... like monsters?

Well, she will show respect to Boss Gu.

Boutiques.

"Welcome." The shopping guide in the boutique smiled without showing his teeth.

This boutique is well decorated and very large, with a wide variety of products. Jiang Bai looked at the time and decided to give up looking for one by one. After thinking about it, she asked the shopping guide on the side, "Do you have monster dolls here? "

The shopping guide didn't change his face, and said with a smile, "Yes, but did you buy it as a gift?"

Generally, those who come here to buy dolls are for gifts.

Jiang Bai nodded, "Yes."

The shopping guide took her to the doll area, where the exquisite and lovely stuffed dolls were oddly shaped and all looked very beautiful.

"The dolls here are very suitable for birthday gifts..." Before the shopping guide finished speaking, the girl suddenly said, pointing her slender fingers at a green doll on the counter, "This, is it a monster?"

Shopping guide: "..."

Following the girl's eyes, the beautiful shopping guide saw a slime in the corner.

Ugly, green color.

The only thing that is different from other dolls is that this ugly slime has a branch in its mouth out of nowhere. It has big eyes, and it looks like it is trying to be cute, but it gets uglier and uglier.

The expression on the shopping guide's face drifted for a second, "Really..."

Jiang Bai turned to look at the shopping guide.

The shopping guide immediately smiled without showing his teeth, and said without changing his face, "This slime is very cute. Look, this branch is a real branch, and it matches the color of its body..."

It's new to be ugly.

Jiang Bai stared at this shiny green slime for a long time.

The branches... are very similar to the branches of the Huamian tree at home when I was a child.

Hmm... Slimes are monsters too.

Inexplicably, it's a little cute.

Boss Gu should like it.

"Please help me wrap it up." Jiang Bai said.

The shopping guide nodded immediately, "Okay, just wait a moment."

The slime was packed in a light green box. When choosing the package, Jiang Bai saw the wrapping paper scattered with light green twigs at a glance.

Thinking of the twig in Slime's mouth, the corners of Jiang Bai's mouth curled up slightly, "This is what I want."

"Ok."

Carrying the gift bag and medicine, Jiang Bai returned home.

Put things in place, the headache is gone, and painkillers don't seem to make much sense.

She hasn't drank for a long time.

Putting the medicine in the drawer, Jiang Bai habitually looked at the garlic head on the windowsill.

The garlic heads are growing very well, with an aggressive "I want to bloom" posture.But only leaves, no buds.

Putting the present away, Jiang Bai looked at the calendar.

It was still yesterday, April NO.17.Today is NO.18, and there are still half a month left.

After tearing up the calendar, Jiang Bai didn't think about it any more. He picked up his phone, thought about it, and sent a message to Boss Gu over there.

[Well, I see. 】

Just as I was about to put down the phone after sending it, the phone vibrated suddenly, and Boss Gu's instant reply was on the screen.

[Is there nothing you want to say to me? 】

Jiang Bai: "..."

say what?

Is there anything you must say?

Jiang Bai thought for a while, and replied with a message.

[Then wish Boss Gu a happy birthday in advance. 】

I just pressed send, and before I took my finger off the screen, a message popped up in the next second.

【I like you. 】

It was sudden, but it seemed to be planned for a long time.

Jiang Bai was slightly taken aback.

...Boss Gu, did you still choose to tell her?

Was it because she thought the rejection at the entrance of the movie theater was not tactful enough, or because the kiss that night gave her hope.

Jiang Bai lowered his eyebrows and was about to return when a second message popped up unexpectedly.

【Kidding. 】

Jiang Bai said I'm sorry, but he couldn't send it out in the end.

Forget it.

Jiang Bai glanced at the calendar again, April NO.18.There are still half a month... Let's try to avoid her a little bit.

It doesn't matter if what she said was a joke or not.

Jiang Bai, a young apprentice who works in a dessert shop, has always been very conscientious. He comes early every day to make desserts under the hands of Boss Gu, who is equally conscientious.

Apart from the hot eyes the boss looked at her, there was nothing uncomfortable about it.

All is well.

The end of the day, the end of get off work.

"Miss Xiao."

Jiang Bai called to stop Xiao Lu who had packed up her things and was about to leave work.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Lu asked after carrying her bag.

Jiang Bai handed the prepared things to the dessert chef, and said in a low voice, "I have something to do at home these few days, and I may have to ask for leave. This... you can pass it on to the boss for me, thank you."

Xiao Lu was slightly taken aback, "Aren't you going to tell the boss yourself about asking for leave?"

"Sorry." Jiang Bai shook his head, looking at the dessert chef, with a hint of pleading in his black eyes, "The leave note is also in here, please."

Xiao Lu pondered for a moment, looked into the eyes of the black-haired girl, felt soft in her heart, and agreed, "Okay."

Boss Gu didn't think there was anything wrong, and even felt that such a small daily routine was quite good.

Go to work and look at the shop to reward Abai.

The days are really comfortable and tight.

Although Abai did not agree to be with her, but things take time, she has that patience.

"It will be tomorrow."

Tore off the calendar again, Hua Mian couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips.

Ah Bai...what gift will he give her?

Looking at the calendar on the 28th in my hand, it turns out that when people have expectations, they can't help but rejoice even when they tear up the calendar.

The next day arrived as scheduled.

Boss Gu arrived at the dessert shop early.

06: 30.

Habitually turned on the phone and sent Jiang Bai a message.

【Wake up, little apprentice ~ get up and go to work~】

No reply.

Could it be that you got up late?

Hua Mian yawned, but she got up at five o'clock today, tidied up, and came over before she had time to eat.

I want Ah Bai to make small cakes for her to eat.

A nice little cherry cake.

Holding her chin, Hua Mian waited for a long time.

The well-decorated clock in the dessert shop ticked to seven o'clock, but the little apprentice who was supposed to come never came.

It's ten past seven.

【you are late. 】

Boss Gu sent a message a little angrily.

[I'll give you another 10 minutes to clean up, and you must come over quickly when you're done. 】

no reply.

Maybe...still packing?

For some reason, Hua Mian felt a little uneasy in her heart, but she didn't know what she was uneasy about, so she could only keep swiping her phone to relieve the restlessness in her heart.

07:30 now.

Hua Mian stared at the time on her phone and frowned.No... The little apprentice is very punctual, and he will never be so late without saying a word...

Could it be that something bad happened?

Thinking of the accident she encountered in the hospital when she was still Chu Yue, Hua Mian's pupils shrank slightly, and she subconsciously stood up.

She is going to find Abai!

A pleasant wind chime rang, Hua Mian's eyes lit up, is Ah Bai coming?

Turning around, what I saw was the pastry chef with a bag on his back.Hua Mian was slightly taken aback, and looked at the time, "Sister Xiao came so early today..."

"Entrusted by someone." Xiao Lu took down the bag, and handed a beautiful gift box with twigs and bows to her boss, "I didn't even know that today is your birthday, boss. Jiang Bai asked me to bring you a birthday present."

"Happy birthday."

Hua Mian's pupils shrank slightly, and she couldn't help but clenched her fists tightly and then loosened. After a while, she took the gift box, but felt chilling for no reason.

"What about her?"

After a long time, she asked slowly, her voice a bit difficult.

...Ah Bai, you don't want to... see yourself?

Don't even want to say happy birthday to her personally?

Why?Is it because she changed her body, is it because she is Gu Li now, is it because of these reasons?

But, obviously...she said it herself, no matter who she becomes, he will like her.

...Ah Bai, what are you running away from?

"She said there was something wrong with her family." Xiao Lu vaguely noticed that something was wrong with her boss's mood, she paused slightly, and explained, "It's too late to ask you for leave, so I'm leaving first."

If it's too late to ask for leave, there's no need to not even reply to the message, right?

Something at home?

Ah Bai, who is all alone, can only use an excuse to say such a thing.

"Where did she go?" Hua Mian's expression turned cold.

Xiao Lu was taken aback. Since meeting the new boss for half a month, she has always been smiling, occasionally acting unreliable, but... the first time I saw her with a cold face.

Xiao Lu shook her head, "I don't know."

"I see." Hua Mian frowned slightly, looking at the delicate gift wrapped in her hand, the tiny twigs scattered on the wrapping paper pierced her eyes.

It's beautiful and she loves it.

...It would be great if Abai gave it to her with his own hands.

What's the point of leaving it in the hands of others.

"I'll go get busy first." Xiao Lu sighed, and went into the back kitchen, leaving Hua Mian alone in the shop.She felt that the boss should calm down now.

Hua Mian looked at the gift in her hand, frowned slightly, and gently opened it. A slime with a twig in its mouth looked at her with wide eyes and giggled, looking ugly and stupid.

Hua Mian suddenly opened her eyes wide.

...this branch...?

Just now I was only concerned about getting angry, but I didn't think anything was wrong.This branch... turned out to be a part of her body that was cut off back then!

Hua Mian calmed down for a moment, took out the slime, and saw a greeting card and a... leave note under the light green gift box.

greeting card:

【Happy birthday. 】

【Happy Labor Day. 】

written request for leave:

[Leave for one month. 】

【Honor your gift, please take it well. 】

Hua Mian hugged the ugly slime with a tree branch in her mouth, and the greeting card and leave note written by Jiang Bai in the other, and smiled angrily.

Fortunately, her body is still young, otherwise this filial piety would be an unbearable ugliness in life.
