Ah? This isn't a love game?

It was a square cardboard box about as wide as your forearm.

The square paper box was completely black, with a line of words written on it in pure white font:

[Happy birthday, Ye Jiu].

Holding the small square box with black background and white words in his hands, Wen Nan had an illusion that his second uncle, who had died many years ago, was a good candidate for sleeping in it.

Of course, Wen Nan would never say this thought out loud.

No one would use a pure black square paper box to wrap birthday gifts. Yu Shujun didn't understand this common sense, and it wasn't her fault.

At a time like this, if you get too serious, it will ruin the atmosphere.

So Wen Nan's smile deepened, he raised his hand to open the paper box, and when he saw what was inside, he was stunned -

There was a heart in the cardboard box.

It was not some kind of heart-shaped decoration, but a bloody heart with its ventricles, atria, arteries and veins clearly visible.

No, sister, you disappeared for most of the day. Did you take a flight to northern Myanmar?

This... this thing, can it be given as a gift?
Being stared at by Wen Nan with a strange look, Yu Shujun became more and more embarrassed - this was the first time she seriously prepared a birthday gift, and it was for the person she loved.

It looks... like it's messed up.

Yu Shujun curled his fingers covered with scarlet crumbs into his palms and hid them behind his back. He whispered, "I did it myself..."

She originally wanted to let the other party have a taste to see how it tasted, but now the other party showed an indescribable expression after just one look. Presumably, he couldn't bring himself to eat it.

After Yu Shujun's quiet reminder, Wen Nan opened his mouth and revealed an expression of sudden enlightenment -

Is this the birthday cake that Yu Shujun made for him personally? !
-
This little thing is unique and looks quite something.

Almost scared him.

This was the first time that Wen Nan experienced Yu Shujun's cooking skills. It must be said that the food she made was as deceptive as she was.

Wen Nan had a preconceived notion that Yu Shujun was a player. After spending so much time with him, he often forgot that Yu Shujun was essentially a character from a dungeon.

Having seen the cooking skills of Aunt Mei, Xiao Jiji, and Xu Zhenzhen, Wen Nan should have known very well that none of the "delicacies" made by the characters in the strategy games here were normal.

No wonder when he saw blood on Yu Shujun's fingers in the car before, he said that it was not a wound - so he was working overtime at that time to make such an exquisite "love" cake for Wen Nan that he didn't know where to start eating it?

Seeing Wen Nan's eyes patrolling back and forth between the "cake" and his own face, Yu Shujun became more and more uneasy. He couldn't help but take the initiative to speak, trying to end this long torture, "If you don't like it--"

"——I like it," Wen Nan interrupted him, raised his hand, and grabbed the bloody "heart" in his hand. If the heart beat at this moment, he would feel like he had accidentally walked into the filming site of "Painted Skin". "Let me try it."

The blood flowed through Wen Nan's fingers, and drops of scarlet blood fell into the black paper box.

Yu Shujun took out a set of tableware from the equipment reserve column and handed it to Wen Nan.

Wen Nan shook his head, "No, just eat it with your hands, it feels better."

As he said that, he opened his mouth, bit off the tip of the heart, and started chewing it in big mouthfuls.

is salty.

Surprisingly, it tasted pretty good.

It has a smooth texture, as soft and chewy as top-grade tuna belly sashimi, and melts in your mouth.

The taste is between king crab and chicken, with a bit more meatiness than king crab and more seafood freshness than chicken. It's a bit like... barnacles, yes, the taste of barnacles, and even more delicious than barnacles.

Xiaojun, your heart is very delicious.

Wen Juren gave his highest praise. Yu Shujun sat on the opposite window sill, watching every subtle expression of the other party. After confirming that Wen Nan was satisfied with her skills, she finally put down her heart.

She raised her hand, resting her elbow on her bent knee, her palm supporting her chin, with a very subtle smile on her face. She stared at the man in front of her for a while and reminded him softly:

"Go slower, be careful not to choke."

...choked?
How could you choke on such a soft and tender “heart”?
Unless there is some other surprise stuffed in the "cake", such as an engagement ring or something like that.

But this kind of tacky and old-fashioned method that has been played out in the real world is impossible for a little maid who doesn't even know the basic common sense of the human world to do...

Right?
Just as he was complaining in his heart, there was a "click" sound, and Wen Nan's teeth hit something hard, almost making a groove in his tooth.

The chewing action stopped for a moment, Wen Nan raised his eyes and looked at the person in front of him in disbelief.

Yu Shujun turned his face to the side, raised his head slightly, and looked at the gray night sky seriously, as if he suddenly became extremely interested in the night without stars or moon.

Wen Nan smiled, raised his hand helplessly, poked his fingertips into the half "heart", and pulled out a hard object as big as a canine tooth.

It was a pendant.

A pendant in the shape of a "little dragon".

The pendant is as white as ice and snow, and feels like it is made of some very special jade.

The dragon's face was very sloppy, like a simple sketch by a child who had just learned to use a pen, but under the dragon's tail, there were two lifelike...

no……

This……

Isn't this his true form? !
Wen Nan was shocked, "Where did you get this from?"

Yu Shujun replied truthfully: "I bought the raw stone from the mall, and I...carved the shape myself."

"No, where did you learn this look?" Wen Nan looked suspicious, "Do you know a water monkey?"

Yu Shujun frowned and shook his head. "Before, in the inner space of the sheath of the divine staff, in your environment, that... woman you called baby, she was holding this in her hand. I thought it must be something very important to you, so I did as she said."

Seeing Wen Nan's expression, Yu Shujun felt that he had overdosed his job and turned the surprise into shock, so he subconsciously apologized: "I'm sorry, if you don't like it, I'll change to something else..."

As she spoke, she reached out to grab the pendant.

Wen Nan hurriedly took his hand back, not wanting her to snatch it away. "It's not that I don't like it. I like it very much. It's just that I'm a little surprised."

I didn't expect that Yu Shujun could remember the scene that flashed by inside the sheath of the magic wand in such an emergency so clearly, and he still remembers it to this day.

Wen Nan touched the two fingers lightly and smiled, "Thank you, that's thoughtful."

Yu Shujun was relieved, "As long as you like it."

Wen Nan felt the cool touch of the pendant and asked casually, "This rough stone looks really good. Where did it come from?"

"Void Stone."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

When Wen Nan heard this, his face turned red from choking on the half-eaten "cake".

...Void Stone? !
In the player mall, that priceless stone is sold for one million gold coins per gram? !

The pendant in his hand now weighs at least 50 grams.

This thing... Even if he sold his entire [Sure Win] Guild, he still couldn't afford to buy one of this little dragon!
Spendthrift woman! (End of this chapter)
