Chapter 77 An Unexpected 'Memories'

"Caroline, what is it?"

On the school rooftop in the afternoon, Tendou looked at Caroline, who had her back to him, with a guilty conscience. His timid tone made him seem so lacking in confidence.

There was nothing that could be done, even though Heaven itself didn't know where it had gone wrong at that moment.

But given Caroline's current silence, it's clear she's planning something big for him.

Therefore, he shouldn't worry about whether he knows what he did wrong or not; he should just admit his mistake as soon as possible!

Because if we wait until he realizes his mistake and then admits it, then it will be too late!
Clearly, the Heavenly Dao possesses a wealth of mature and scientific experience in how to quell Caroline's 'rage'!

But before Heaven could use its 'hundred ways to appease Caroline'...

Caroline, who had her back to him, suddenly shoved a small gift box into his arms and whispered, "Here, happy birthday in advance."

"what?"

After doing all this, Caroline immediately lowered her head, her cheeks slightly flushed.

At the same time, a large amount of garbled data flowed from Caroline's eyes, and the pair of green electronic cat ears on her head kept trembling slightly.

It's obvious that I'm a bit flustered, and my brain's CPU is overloaded.

This situation was clearly unexpected by Heaven.

He glanced at Caroline, who had her back to him, then looked down at the unique little gift box in his hand.

Suddenly he laughed.

Unlike the exquisite gift boxes in the class just now, which looked like they were bought from boutiques.

The little gift box Caroline gave him, from the crooked bow on the cover to the glue that hadn't completely dried at the seams of the wrapping paper, was something special.

All of this suggests that the small gift box was quickly handmade by Caroline in a moment of urgency.

Otherwise, given Caroline's meticulous and serious personality...

Even if this was her first time making handmade gift boxes, there's absolutely no way they would be so poorly made.

So, she must have heard that everyone else was giving me gifts, so she hurriedly made a gift box and came over right away.

Thinking about it this way, the smile on Tiandao's face became even more pronounced.

Under a cloudless, azure sky, the warm afternoon sun shone through the shimmering waters of the nearshore area, skimming over the fish swimming in the sea, and casting the shadows of the young men and women on the white ground of the rooftop.

As a slightly warm breeze swept by, the silver wisps of hair on Tendou's forehead fluttered up.

He stared blankly at the gift box in his hand, and after a moment of thought, carefully opened it.

Soon, a blue necklace with a cute little dolphin design appeared before Tiandao's eyes.

Driven by intense curiosity, Tiandao picked up the necklace and held it up.

Under the sunlight, this deep blue dolphin necklace, made of special materials, ripples like the sea.

Before Tiandao could study it carefully, Caroline, who noticed his movements out of the corner of her eye, immediately explained in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, "I... I know your birthday is coming soon, but after I go back, I have to go to the base's 'Quantum Center' immediately to conduct quantum calculations for at least a month."

"If I can finish the calculations ahead of time, I can indeed make it to your birthday, but if I can't, then it will definitely be too late."

"So, after thinking it over, I think I should give you your birthday present before I go to the Quantum Center."

"After all, this way, even if I didn't manage to get out of the Quantum Center in time, at least I didn't miss your birthday."

"I just don't know if you're satisfied with this gift."

Caroline sounded very nervous, and her explanation was somewhat halting.

She was completely devoid of her usual rational and calm demeanor.

However, it must be admitted that this version of her actually makes her seem more adorable and more human to Tiandao.

So, Tiandao carefully examined the little dolphin necklace in his hand and said with a smile in his eyes, "Satisfied? How could I not be satisfied? After all, it was a gift from you."

Upon hearing Tiandao's words, Caroline's cheeks not only turned even redder, but white smoke, just like that of the top-ranked girl in Tiandao's class, also appeared on her head.

Meanwhile, there are also viewers in the 13 stations in the real world.

I was instantly excited because of that one sentence from the Heavenly Dao!

"Come out! All you guys who slander Lao Tian for not knowing how to flirt, come out here! Doesn't he know how to flirt perfectly?"

"Waaah, so delicious! I love it! I want to eat more!"

"Science proves that eating too much sugar causes cavities, but that's okay, I've never believed in science! I could even live without teeth! I'd just eat whatever I want!"

"Bro, if you can talk, then talk more! I still have plenty of space on my notebook! (Studying diligently, analyzing frame by frame)"

"Hey buddy, stop remembering! You think Lao Tian's charm with girls is all about skill? He's got insane base stats!"

"After all, you're the one who gave it to me." Damn it, this time the daily pass is really going to boost my rank. If they don't nerf it, how can we even play?

"Stellaris Development Team: We have received user feedback and the version is currently being debugged."

'Don't mess with the previous versions, this is the best fit, no debugging needed!'

Amidst the teasing of the audience, Tiandao put down the dolphin necklace in his hand and carefully put it around his neck.

At the same time, he suddenly noticed the dolphin necklace that matched his own, hanging below Caroline's fair neck.

The difference is that his little dolphin is blue.

Caroline's little dolphin, on the other hand, is pink.

This perfectly corresponds to the birthday gift he gave Caroline some time ago.

That half-meter-tall pink dolphin doll.

However, Tiandao was very clever and did not mention this point. Instead, he pretended not to know and inquired about the function of the necklace.

After all, his Star Eclipse Eye clearly saw the trajectory of star energy flowing within the little dolphin necklace.

"Caroline, this necklace you gave me... it must be something special, right?"

"Ah."

Caroline nodded, and after hiding the necklace around her neck, she turned to Tiandao and began to explain the necklace to him in a serious manner.

"It's called Deep Blue Voice. I asked Isabel to have Sky Blue Group specially craft it using Deep Blue Tears, a mineral with special properties."

As she spoke, Caroline subconsciously stepped forward and picked up the 'Deep Blue Voice' that Tiandao wore around his neck.

The two were so close that Tiandao could even clearly see Caroline's eyelashes.

However, Caroline, engrossed in her commentary, didn't notice this.

Holding the 'Deep Blue Voice', she went straight to the point about the star energy formulas carved inside and their specific effects.

"As a specialty of the Deep Blue Metropolis, the Deep Blue Tears naturally possess exceptional conductivity for water-attribute star energy."

"Therefore, one of the star energy techniques contained here is temperature regulation, which allows you to still have a body temperature equivalent to more than 20 degrees Celsius in an environment with a maximum temperature of 40 degrees Celsius. It can be regarded as a portable air conditioner in the form of a necklace."

"At the same time, another function of it is..."

Halfway through her sentence, Caroline seemed to realize something and suddenly stopped talking.

However, her riddle-like behavior is undoubtedly not in line with the will of Heaven.

"Caroline, what's the other function of this necklace? Why are you suddenly not telling me?"

Upon hearing Tiandao's words, Caroline hesitated for a moment, then gently bit her lower lip and took out the pink dolphin necklace that she had just hidden away. "Another function of its is that when one party wants to find the other, she only needs to activate the Deep Blue Voice within herself."

"At that time, as long as both are within a certain range, these two deep blue voices of the same origin will release the 'Oceanic Voice,' which can only be heard by the two wearing the necklaces, guiding her to find the other, just like now."

As soon as she finished speaking, Caroline immediately channeled her star energy into the pink dolphin necklace around her neck.

And with this star energy as support.

A voice that only Tiandao and Caroline could hear suddenly appeared in their ears.

If you listen carefully, the sound is very similar to that of a dolphin.

Although the sound came quickly and went quickly.

But it is real and highly recognizable.

Knowing this, Tiandao clearly guessed what was going on and immediately smiled as he raised the blue dolphin necklace around his neck.

"So you mean, as long as we don't stray too far apart, we can quickly find each other using this sound that only the two of us can hear?"

"Um"

Caroline lowered her head, not daring to look at the Heavenly Dao at this moment.

After all, her gift did have some ulterior motives; her intentions weren't entirely pure.

However, although Tiandao had already guessed Caroline's purpose, he wisely did not reveal it.

Instead, she changed the subject, saying, "Caroline, let's take a picture!"

"what?"

Caroline was clearly caught off guard by Tiandao's sudden change of thought.

But Heaven didn't care whether she wanted to or not, and directly took her hand and walked to the edge of the rooftop.

From this vantage point, the two could see the iconic buildings that symbolized the deep blue metropolis in the distance.

A tall tower that looks like a jellyfish, a deep blue pearl.

The photo of Tiandao and Caroline when they came here was taken with their backs to this jellyfish tower.

Caroline was not given a chance to refuse.

Tiandao immediately took out his phone and pointed the camera at himself and Caroline.

Unlike her first photoshoot, Caroline's flustered and bewildered expression was quite amusing.

At this moment, Tiandao was not only waiting for Caroline to be ready before taking the picture, but he also specially chose an angle that he felt was most suitable for her.

However, what Caroline didn't expect was that Tiandao was about to press the shutter button a second before it happened.

But then he suddenly made a slightly comical face.

This image of him stands in stark contrast to Caroline's image in the warm midday sun, where her right hand unconsciously brushes against her hair.

One was a beautiful and quiet young woman with a literary bent.

As for the other one, he was clearly an unreliable, eccentric young man.

The contrast between them is striking.

"Heavenly Dao, why did you suddenly want to take a picture with me?"

After the photo shoot was over, Caroline immediately asked the question that had been bothering her.

In response, Heaven gave her an answer that she had never expected.

"It's nothing. When we first came here, didn't you say that I was deliberately messing with you and taking pictures before you were ready?"

“Then let’s switch roles this time. I’ll take a picture of you when you’re ready, and I’ll take a picture of you when I’m not ready.”

"That way, it's fair for everyone!"

"..."

Hearing this, Caroline was stunned for a moment, then said speechlessly, "Just because of that?"

"Yes, that's why."

Under the clear sky, Caroline gazed at Tiandao's azure eyes, which seemed to outshine even the stars and moon, for a moment before suddenly laughing as well.

Then she said with a helpless but slightly indulgent expression, "Fine, you've always been like this, doing whatever comes to mind, which is really a headache."

"But it's precisely because of this that you're so strangely impossible to dislike."

"Here, send me the photos."

Seeing that Caroline was about to take his phone, Tiandao suddenly held it up and refused, saying, "No, no, I can't send you these photos. I need to keep them for myself."

"???"

Looking at Caroline's puzzled expression, Tiandao smiled and explained, "Just like the necklace you gave me, we can only hear each other's voices when we get close enough."

"The photos on your phone and the photos on my phone each capture our best moments."

"In that case, let's just leave them as they are."

"Because in this way, as long as we see the photos in each other's hands, what comes to mind is the best version of each other."

"Besides, I'm planning to keep this unexpected memory to myself, and I absolutely cannot send it to you."

After saying that, Tiandao immediately stuffed the phone into his pocket, adopting a guarded stance, looking like a childish person who would never give it to Caroline.

Caroline shook her head helplessly and didn't press the matter further.

It's just a group photo after all.

If she wanted, she could take a few more pictures with Tiandao anytime in the future; it didn't matter at all.

But what Caroline didn't notice was...

As Tiandao put his sunglasses back on, a very complex expression appeared in his eyes, hidden beneath the sunglasses.

As he just said, today's memory was one he hadn't expected.

He hadn't expected Caroline to remember his birthday so clearly.

I never expected her to choose such a special birthday gift for me on a day when everyone was about to go back home.

This really proves the old saying: in the script of life, even if you plan everything out for yourself, accidents can still happen unexpectedly.

Tiandao thought he had already designed a script for him and Caroline.

But to his surprise, Caroline suddenly added scenes to the planned script.

However, Heaven itself showed no dissatisfaction with this.

Meanwhile, in the shadows of the rooftop, unnoticed by both Tiandao and Caroline.

A girl with red eyes glanced at the two people on the rooftop, then looked at the gift in her hand.

After a moment's thought, he simply turned and left.

Because she knew very well that there was no place for her on the rooftop at that moment.
