Chapter 159 [159] Unexpected things
Himeko's birthday was an ordinary day for her.
Because no matter in the previous life or in this life, it seems that Himeko's family members don't like to celebrate her birthday very much.And friends also have their own affairs, so it is often not the birthday of Himeko.Even if you can receive a birthday greeting on your birthday, it is a very good gift.
just today...
Not only Hisoka didn't come back, even her friends in Rocky Town didn't send her a text message.The sisters who are far away in another continent sent her a happy birthday message.And he told her that he had prepared a gift for her.
It's just that because of the special nature of the Hunter Continent, the gifts they prepared for Himeko couldn't be delivered.
But every birthday, they will prepare birthday presents for Himeko.When Himeko finally made a trip there, she would be able to reap her several birthday presents at once.
Although at that time, Himeko was still very happy.
But now... there is really no sense of surprise.
Originally, it was normal for Himeko to have a birthday, but no one on the Hunter Continent said happy birthday to her.Himeko felt a little sad when she thought about it.
In the bathroom, pat your cheeks with cold water.
Himeko told herself in the mirror.You can't be so downcast because of this.In previous years, there would always be birthday greetings. This year, the second day has not yet arrived, and maybe the birthday greetings will arrive later.Besides... Even if they don't, it can only mean that they are busy today.Otherwise, how could I forget my birthday.
Although he tried so hard to comfort himself, Himeko was still a little sad.
Even she began to recall the details of getting along with her friends.She was seriously thinking about whether she was not doing well enough to get to this point.Even if the other party remembers his birthday, he is unwilling to say happy birthday to himself.
Frustration resurfaced in Himeko's mind.
But listening to the wind chime ringing back and forth outside the store, Himeko quickly took out her makeup bag and put on a touch of makeup for herself.And because she thought it was a little sad before, she looks a little bad now.She even put some blush on the apples to make her complexion look better.
When Himeko appeared in the store again, she regained her spirits.
Say hello to the customers who come and go, and introduce them to the chocolates in the store.For a whole day, no one could see that there was anything unusual about her.At least among the customers who come and go, every time they go out, they cherish the chocolate shop's good service as always.
By the time the work was over, Himeko still hadn't received her blessing from the Hunter Continent.
Wait until she has gone home.
Because no one celebrated her birthday today, even her lover Hisoka didn't respond, which made Himeko feel even more uncomfortable.I didn't have any appetite, so I just made some fruit salad and read a book in the bedroom after eating.
The weather outside today is a bit gloomy, just like Himeko's mood at this time.
So even though it was just seven o'clock, it was already dark outside.Himeko was holding hot boiled water and nestled in the corner of the bed and bedside table with a shawl on her shoulders.She took a sip of hot water and put the water not far from her feet.Picking up the book I've been reading all day, holding a pencil in my hand, I started to read it slowly.
Himeko just let herself forget that she didn't have a blessing today, and she was immersed in the ocean of knowledge.
【Linglingling...】The phone call came back.
Himeko looked up from the sea of books, not thinking about anything.It's just a little helpless, why did someone bother me when I was looking at it so seriously.
The cell phone still kept ringing.Because she was worried about something over there, Himeko connected the phone anyway.
But now she felt a little anxious, and wanted to hurry up and finish talking with the person on the other end of the phone before continuing to read her book.
"Mosimoxi."
"Himeko!" Nagisa's voice came through the phone, "Hurry up and go back to the store."
The anxiety in Nagisa's tone made Himeko realize that something had happened.
She quickly put down the book in her hand and stood up from the corner.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
"There was a sudden power outage in the store, and I'm worried about the chocolates in the cabinet now."
Although it is not yet summer, there is a risk of melting chocolate in this way at room temperature.And cherish the chocolates in the chocolate shop, they are exquisite chocolates made by Himeko and Nagisa.If it melts, the appearance will be very different from before.Such chocolate, even if it is discounted, Himeko is too embarrassed to put it in front of customers.
"First, check to see if there are any ice cubes in the refrigerator, and put the ice cubes in the cabinet. I'll rush there right now!"
Himeko spoke anxiously to Nagisa.
After hanging up the phone, Himeko hurriedly changed into her clothes.Carrying the bag, put on the shoes and hurried to the chocolate shop.After running for a while, Himeko was panting and resting on her knees for a while.
At this time, she really regretted why her physical fitness was so poor.
Fortunately, when renting a chocolate shop on the spot, Himeko rented a place not far away for her own convenience.So within a short while, Himeko had arrived at the chocolate shop.
From a distance, the chocolate shop is really dark.
The pace of Himeko's feet was even faster.She had just reached the door when she heard some noises.But Himeko didn't take it seriously, thinking that Nagisa was making ice cubes.
The moment she opened the door——
"boom"
"boom"
"boom"
There were three beeps in a row, and something in the air landed on Himeko's head and shoulders.Suddenly a pair of big hands covered Himeko's eyes, but then Himeko could feel the lights in the store turn on.
"Why are you covering Himeko's eyes!"
A familiar voice sounded in front of him.Himeko's heart, which was panicked by the sudden attack, suddenly felt relieved.This is probably a surprise from a friend.And Himeko recognized the hands covering her eyes.Those were her boyfriend Hisoka's hands.
"Bright light~~~" After Hisoka finished speaking, he let go of his hands covering Himeko's eyes.
Although the lover's words were endless, Himeko understood Hisoka's meaning.
Because the whole store was dark when she came in just now.If you don't get used to it first, your eyes will hurt.The boyfriend was still so considerate, making Himeko forget about other things all of a sudden.
"Why are you all here?" Himeko was happy at first, then became nervous, "Wait a minute, I'll deal with the chocolates on the counter first."
"The chocolate is fine." Nagisa stood up and answered Himeko, "There is no power outage in the store, and the chocolate is very good."
"These are not the main points, I wish you a happy birthday." Jiaying took out the gift that she had prepared a long time ago.
Hearing these words, Himeko understood the general situation in her heart.
Probably from the very beginning, they had already planned to celebrate their own birthday.But they all hid it from her with bad intentions, that's why they planned to let her come to the store now.
In fact, the design has a design, but the girls' designs did not include Hisoka at all from the beginning.
They even teamed up to prepare a birthday surprise for their friends in the end, because Hisoka alone is the strongest.How did they know, after Himeko left, Hisoka came out as soon as they started cleaning up the shop.
And cheekily said that he wanted to prepare a birthday surprise for Himeko with them.
After living for so long, it was the first time they saw someone as thick-skinned as Hisoka.Although everyone is angry, but still have to keep smiling.
In fact, both parties are patient with each other.
Himeko's friends and close friends knew the importance of Hisoka in Himeko's heart, so they were willing to take a step back and let Hisoka participate in this event to surprise Himeko's birthday.But Hisoka managed to resist the thought of killing these people.
For Himeko's exclusive desire, the cards in his hand are ready to move.
But it's also because of my love for Himeko.So no matter how many times he has simulated killing these women in his mind, how should he clear himself of suspicion afterwards.He even imitated how to comfort Himeko in the end.But he still resisted the thought of killing these people, because he knew how much Himeko cared about them.
Himeko's view of human life is completely different from his.
Although when he was in contact with Himeko, Himeko's point of view had already been partially assimilated by this world.At least the death and danger of strangers, she can do nothing to do with herself.But everyone who knew her, even those who had some connections with her.Himeko still cherishes the lives of those people.And holding the idea of wanting the other party to be safe.
But in Himeko's cognition, the people she knows are ordinary people,
They should not be involved in any strange incidents and die innocently in the end.
What Jiaying gave Himeko was her handmade aromatherapy.It just so happened that she was a nurse in the hospital and knew a lot about the properties of medicine.So the aromatherapy she made is very good both in terms of use and hygiene.
And Winnie gave Himeko a scented lamp made by herself.
This is what the two of them discussed.Give Himeko a gift that no one else can replace except for the two of them.And it's more sincerity to do it with your own hands.And Himeko can use the two things at the same time, and it will be even better if the affection for them complements each other.
This gift was really sent to Himeko's heart.
Himeko suffers from severe insomnia and suffers from neurasthenia.Every night, you need to lie quietly on the bed for an hour or two before you can fall asleep.Whenever there is any disturbance outside, as long as Himeko can hear it, she will wake up quickly.Even if Himeko isn't a killer, she doesn't know how to read abilities.But her hearing is much better than other ordinary people.So her neurasthenia made her suffer even more.
It was because they knew about this problem that Winnie and Jiaying agreed to give Himeko this gift.
But what they don't know is that Himeko actually sleeps well sometimes.
As long as her boyfriend Hisoka is by her side, she can sleep peacefully.The level of deep sleep can even be reached, even if it is windy and thunderous outside, she still sleeps soundly beside Hisoka.
"Thank you so much." Himeko was very happy when she received the gift.
Because she really didn't expect that Jiaying and Winnie would take their birthday so seriously.Thinking that she still doesn't know the other party's birthday, Himeko felt a little guilty.Wait a while, find a good opportunity and ask them about their birthdays.Otherwise, asking this question now is like trying to draw a line between each other in return.
That's really rude.
The presents from Winnie and Jiaying made Himeko happy, so Mi Duo and Mi Li, Himeko's friends who grew up with her in Rocky Town, were naturally not far behind.
"Himeko, this is a present from me."
"this is mine."
Everyone handed the gifts they brought to Himeko one after another.Because there were so many presents that Himeko couldn't take them all by herself.So after thanking everyone again, Himeko handed the present to Hisoka naturally.
In fact, the way Himeko and Hisoka got along at the beginning was not like this.
Even Himeko wasn't like that when she was with Ryan and Wojin.Due to personal reasons, Himeko has been used to being independent since she was a child.So she has long been used to carrying things by herself.Even if you try to be brave, you will not easily turn to those around you for help.Even if that person is her lover.
But since dating Hisoka.When Himeko was changing Hisoka, Hisoka was changing Himeko.
Because of Hisoka, Himeko has become more and more coquettish.Things that are out of reach in the hand, will be naturally handed to Hisoka for him to help hold.Even in many cases, Hisoka would take the initiative to take things from Himeko.
And Hisoka would take everything into his own hand.
But this is not Hisoka showing his strength to Himeko, but that he needs to free up his other hand to hold Himeko.
If those things are taken by the little girlfriend.My little girlfriend is weak, so I'm afraid I need to hold it with both hands.In that case, I will be tired of my little girlfriend, and I can't hold the lover's hand.So Hisoka gradually got used to taking everything from Himeko's hand.Including the women's bag that Himeko often carries in her hand.
In Hisoka's heart, the little girlfriend only needs to hold his hand.He will take care of the rest.
After thanking everyone, even Nagisa stood up.
She gave Himeko a handkerchief, the style of the handkerchief was the one given to Himeko by Il fans before.After spending so long with Himeko, she had figured it out.
Ilmi gave Himeko a handkerchief as a hint to Himeko.
And Nagisa gave Himeko a handkerchief, so naturally she wouldn't use it for this purpose.Otherwise, she is a girl, and now she still sees Himeko all day long.Why send a handkerchief with that meaning.In fact, Nagisa also struggled when she found out about Himeko's birthday.
Because the Ill fan has allocated half of his own income to Himeko's card every month.
But Nagisa once discovered that Il fans always have very little money in April every year.For this reason, in April every year, she would pay more of her own money to Il fans.She used to mean that Il fans went to buy a lot of chocolate every April.After all, because April is the time when the peak season of chocolate shops turns into an off-season, many chocolate shops will start discounts at this time to attract customers.So Nagisa didn't think much about it.
Until now she knew that Himeko's birthday was in April, and a while ago she also found out where the money was transferred by Ilmi in April.
All the money was used by Il fans to celebrate Himeko's birthday.
So when Winnie and the others came to her at the very beginning, although she was willing to help them prepare Himeko's birthday surprise for the sake of the nun given by Winnie.But at the very beginning, she had no idea of giving Himeko a birthday present at all.
But although Nagisa lacks emotion, she can still feel Himeko's kindness towards her.
After some entanglement, Nagisa decided to give Himeko a birthday present.
And she gave Himeko the handkerchief now, after a lot of choices.
On the one hand, she knew that Himeko would not use this kind of handkerchief.She gave it to Himeko, and Himeko will keep it well.Her heart can always be preserved in Himeko's house.On the other hand, it was the same kind of handkerchief that Ilmi gave Himeko before.So if she gave this handkerchief now, Himeko would blame it on the previous personal hobbies of the two unmarried couples.Even if she knew the meaning of giving the handkerchief, Himeko would never connect the handkerchief with the meaning that Il fan originally wanted to convey.
Since I want to give Himeko a birthday present, and giving a handkerchief as a birthday present can kill two birds with one stone.
So in the end, that is, Nagisa still gave Himeko a birthday present.
"Nagisa even gave Himeko a birthday present, Hisoka, what about your birthday present for Himeko?" Mi Duo wanted to dislike Hisoka.
At a time like this when it was only a gift from Himeko's boyfriend Hisoka.She doesn't say at this time when will be more!
Hisoka smiled mysteriously at everyone, and said, "I made an appointment for the shrimp restaurant for Himeko~~ and it will be charged to my account in the end~"
Hisoka's ordering food for Himeko at the shrimp restaurant is a commonplace thing.
Even though Mi Duo and the others don't often come to Mercury to see Himeko, they have eaten at the shrimp shop with Himeko many times.It is entirely conceivable that Hisoka usually places Himeko at the shrimp shop.
Although Mi Duo doesn't like Hisoka, she still likes her friends.
So this topic stopped here, she didn't want to disturb Himeko's happiness.
After all, for friends, recruiting is not new and useful.
Himeko loves shrimp more than she loves anything else.So when she learned that Hisoka had booked the evening dinner at the shrimp shop, she was overjoyed.
Indeed, just as my friends guessed, Hisoka would always book a seat at the shrimp restaurant for Himeko when he came back.
But the shrimp shop is not a luxury consumption for Himeko, at most it is a bit expensive.But Himeko is not used to spending so much money, so she will go to the shrimp shop by herself less frequently.But once your boyfriend or friend is there, if you learn that the other party also likes to eat shrimp.Himeko was willing to spend money and took them to a shrimp shop.
And Hisoka is precisely because he knows the heart of his little girlfriend.
That's why he always took his little girlfriend to dinner after he came back.Although Hisoka and Himeko ate at the shrimp shop, Himeko asked to pay the bill every time.But with the skill Hisoka and Himeko had fought over the years, he could always make Himeko forget to pay the bill nine times out of ten.The other time, it was entirely because he was afraid that Himeko would suddenly remember that he hadn't paid the bill, and always made him pay the bill because he felt guilty, so Hisoka gave his little girlfriend a chance.
Everyone had a great time eating at the shrimp shop.
Although Hisoka didn't care about other people's tastes, everything he ordered was what he and Himeko liked.But because he said before that all the bills will be counted on him, so those who want to eat other have to order by themselves.And the high-quality service of the shrimp shop did not make anyone feel neglected at all.
After the meal, according to Hisoka's plan, the staff in the store served a cake for everyone.
Everyone was full just now, so now it is time to blow out the candles and make a wish, and eat a few bites of cake.Even Himeko, the birthday star, is like this.
Hisoka cut Himeko a very small cake.
But even so, Himeko put it down after eating half of it.
Hisoka held the plate and said to Himeko, "Little Himeko~~You just finish this piece of cake~~"
Himeko was stunned for a moment.
Because that's not Hisoka's style.Usually, Hisoka never let her eat something she didn't want to eat.Sometimes Himeko even felt that it was a pity to have leftovers, so she would not be willing to forcefully eat Hisoka by herself.Therefore, whenever Himeko wanted to hold on, Hisoka would take the food in front of Himeko and eat it all by himself.
What's going on today?
Could it be... is there something in this cake?That's why the boyfriend must let himself finish eating.And just now other people's cakes were cut by themselves, or by the waiter.Only the cake she ate was cut by Hisoka himself.
Countless possibilities flashed through Himeko's mind, and finally she was going to listen to Hisoka's words and eat the remaining half of the cake.
After all, there may be a big surprise in it.
