"Happy birthday brother~"

The light went out suddenly, Gu Yicheng thought something was wrong, just raised his vigilance and planned to guard against emergencies around him, but as soon as he turned around, he saw the girl holding a cake in front of him.

Gu Yicheng was stunned for a moment, then returned to normal and smiled helplessly.

Is it his birthday today?

To be honest, if she hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten about it himself.

Seeing this scene in front of him, no matter how much anger Gu Yicheng had in his heart, it probably disappeared in a flash, not to mention that he wasn't actually angry with her this time. It's just that the people who surround her from time to time and act as light bulbs are very upset.

How could he be willing to be angry with her?

Ruan Ning noticed that he had been staring at the cake, and said excitedly from the side: "Brother, make a wish and blow out the candles, and then try my cake. How about it?!"

He never believed that making a wish was of any use, so it was too naive. but……

Gu Yicheng looked at Ruan Ning firmly, followed her words, closed his eyes and made a wish, blew out the candles on the cake, and asked, "You made this yourself?"

The cake cream that was placed was not evenly spread, and the shape seemed indescribable.

Ruan Ning bit her lip and nodded embarrassedly, with a hint of anticipation in her eyes, "Well..."

Gu Yicheng took the blown out candle off the cake and said truthfully, "This cake looks...a bit ugly."

After hearing this, Ruan Ning stared at him with round almond eyes, "..."

Well, she couldn't refute either. Ruan Ning herself knows that her hands are relatively weak, even though she has been learning to make it very hard, the cakes she makes are still unsatisfactory. The cake in front of her is not only not delicious, but also not very good-looking, but this one is already the most successful one of all the cakes she has made. It was much better done before, and she was afraid of wasting it, so she put it all into the stomachs of her and the other people who accompanied her. Because she was afraid she couldn't finish it this time, she only made a very small size.

And everyone has prepared another one at the bottom. She originally wanted to let him taste her bad taste first, and then eat the good taste, so that there would not be any contrast.

Under the girl's resentful gaze, Gu Yicheng opened his mouth to take a sip, and said with a smile, "Well, it's very sweet. It tastes good."

Ruan Ning knew that he was comforting himself, and said with a sullen expression: "Brother, you don't have to force yourself to eat it. If it doesn't taste good, don't eat it. There is a cake downstairs, everyone is waiting for you to go down, we You can go eat that one."

"I'm serious, you can taste it if you don't believe me." After speaking, Gu Yicheng took a half step forward, clasped the back of his head with one hand, penetrated into her mouth, and intertwined his lips and teeth. Ruan Ning tasted the sweetness of the cream. taste.

When she was dizzy, she couldn't help thinking that the taste was really sweet... It seemed that she had put a little more sugar in the whipping cream.

"However, it seems to be sweeter this way." The man's voice was hoarse, his voice was low and husky, and Su De's body softened half.

As the only person who heard it, Ruan Ning's ears turned red.

In order to hide her panic, she quickly took out a small mahogany box the size of a palm from the space. Inside are the two fourth-order crystal nuclei that she took from Yu Xian half a month ago.

Originally, she wanted to give him the gift when she was downstairs, but now the situation is special. Well, anyway, I have to give it sooner or later, and it is the same now.

"Ahem, a birthday present." She said with a dodgy look. The man's fiery gaze made her a little uncomfortable, as if she was being stared at by some large beast.

Gu Yi accepted the gift, but did not open it, but put it aside, "No hurry, I will open it later."

"Well."

Ruan Ning closed her eyes and responded to his enthusiasm. Gu Yicheng felt her response, and her movements became more touching.

********************************

************************************

After half an hour.

The master walked down the stairs unhurriedly, Ruan Ning took his hand, and there was a hint of shyness on the white porcelain face.

Just now this person pulled her and kissed her for a long time, so she came downstairs so late.

Ruan Ning felt embarrassed when she thought that the two of them were making out on top and the people below were waiting for them to go down and cut the cake. The temperature on her face was getting hotter and hotter. Fortunately, everyone's attention was on the person next to her, and no one would look at her.

"Happy birthday, Brother Gu!"

"Happy birthday to Captain Gu!"

This evening, everyone in the Morning Squad is here to celebrate their captain's birthday. It's also a celebration of their team's time at the top of the team leaderboard. It is also a double happiness.

Ruan Ning was only responsible for the surprise part of the celebration above. The downstairs was arranged by Lin Yang and Chaozi, and she did not interfere.

This should be the birthday that Gu Yicheng has ever had the most people. He has always disliked having a lot of people, and he doesn't like birthdays very much. But both of them know Brother Gu's character, and they rarely call more people to bother him.

The birthday cake at the bottom was even bigger, and it was made by a chef in the team who specialized in pastry before the end of the world. Ruan Ning has tasted the taste in advance, and it is really good. Compared with the small birthday cake she made just now, the taste and appearance are one from the sky and one from the ground.

Gu Yicheng didn't get impatient when he saw so many people around him today, he closed his eyes and made a wish again with a smile, blowing candles, which he seemed very naive before, and would never do anything.

Ruan Ning has been standing beside him with soft eyes: "Happy birthday."

"Kiss one!"

"Kiss one!!"

"Kiss one!!!"

I don't know who started the booing, and everyone started shouting one by one. The object of coaxing is naturally today's birthday star, and it is also a couple that everyone tacitly understands. Perhaps the atmosphere today was too lively, or there were too many people present, so everyone had a little more courage. In normal times, they would never dare to be so arrogant to the captain.

Ruan Ning: "..."

If it wasn't for today's birthday party, if Gu Yicheng didn't know anything about it, Ruan Ning even wondered if they were the ones he invited. Otherwise, why are they all assisting him? ! ! Shouldn't today's theme be his birthday? Why even bother with her!

"Stop coaxing, let's all come and eat cake." No one dared to say anything as soon as Gu Yicheng opened his mouth. After all, the two protagonists are not willing to show their affection in public, and the long-standing prestige of the captain is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Cakes are a rarity in the end times. That's why Ruan Ning is willing to waste so many ingredients, so he hopes to make one by himself. If it were someone else, wouldn't even think about it.

This birthday went very smoothly. Yu Yiyi and Ruan Ning also folded the stars as birthday gifts and gave them to today's birthday star.

Gu Yicheng was in a very good mood today, and he didn't care that the little girl had been acting as a light bulb between him and Ning Ning some time ago, and accepted the gift with a smile.

However, there is one person who can't get away with it like this.

"Lin Yang, should you explain to me what happened a few days ago." Gu Yicheng smiled.

Seeing Brother Gu's familiar smile, Lin Yang swallowed, and subconsciously glanced at Sister Ruan Ning next to him.

Ruan Ning blinked and gave him a self-seeking look. She couldn't resist it just now, so she told her about Lin Yang's bad idea to attract firepower.

Lin Yang immediately understood what was going on, and said with a strong desire to survive, "Misunderstanding, Brother Gu, all this is a misunderstanding."

Lin Yang wanted to explain something, but found that Brother Gu had covered his face with the cream on the cake and turned into a cat. Ruan Ning didn't think it was too much of a problem and thought about adding two more in the past.

Lin Yang had a face with cream on both sides, and his eyes were pitiful, but he didn't dare to fight back against Brother Gu, let alone bully sister Ruan Ning.

In the end, he could only bully Chaoko and give him half of the cream on his face while he was not paying attention. It was so noisy, and then I don't know what happened, it evolved into everyone adding some color to each other.

In the end, few were clean.

********************************

************************************

A month passed quickly, and Yu Xian personally brought someone over to pick up Yu Yiyi back to Chaoyang Base.

In the living room of the villa, Yu Yiyi hugged Ruan Ning without letting go, with a look of reluctance, "Sister Ningning, I can't bear to part with you."

Ruan Ning patted her on the shoulder and said, "Yiyi, it's alright. If you miss me in the future, you can come over again. And if I have a chance, I will go to Chaoyang Base to see you." What Yiyi said was what Ruan Ning said to herself. The two bases are not very far apart, and it only takes one day to go back and forth, so there are still many opportunities if you want to meet.

"Well, then when I grow up and become more powerful, when I can go out of the base alone, I will come to see Sister Ningning once a month." Yu Yiyi has been here for a long time, and he is also very fond of this place in his heart. With feelings, she was going to leave suddenly, and she was very reluctant.

Yu Yiyi was reluctant to leave, and Ruan Ning was also reluctant to leave her. Not only her, but other members of the Chenxi team also regarded Yu Yiyi as their own. After all, no children have appeared in the team for a long time. Everyone has a good impression of Yiyi. After getting along these days, they also like this lively and lovely little girl. It felt that the team became a lot more lively after she came.

However, there is no lasting banquet in the world, and Yu Yiyi will eventually return to Chaoyang Base.

This time when Yu Yiyi went back, Ruan Ning brought her a lot of things. It's all what they bought at the Hope Base this month. As well as the snacks and game consoles she likes to eat, Ruan Ning also helped her get a lot of them and put them all in the box.

When Yu Yiyi came to the base, he hoped that there were two boxes. When he went back, the two boxes could not hold so many things at all. Finally, two more boxes were installed before everything was packed.

Yu Xian could see that Yiyi had a good time at Hope Base. She looked at the man with a strong presence and sincerely thanked him, "Captain Gu, I really trouble you this time."

Gu Yicheng's expression was flat: "If you want to thank you, you should go to thank Ningning. If she didn't like your niece, I wouldn't care about such a thing."

During this period of time, people around the cultivation center couldn't find any leaks to drill, and some people inquired about Yu Yiyi's work at the Hope Base, so they made their idea to the morning team. want to kidnap Yu Yiyi and use it to threaten Yu Xian. Several waves of people have been sent over this month, and some Gu Yicheng found out which force sent them, and some did not even investigate him.

However, these hidden dangers were all stopped by Gu Yicheng alone, and he didn't even reveal the slightest bit to Ruan Ning. Let her spend the month happily.

"Miss Ruan, I must be the one I am most grateful for." Yu Xian's eyes showed a trace of clarity, "It can be seen that Captain Gu, you love your girlfriend very much. I hope you two can be happy forever."

"Well, yes." Gu Yicheng said, his eyes fell on Ruan Ning, who was standing in the hall saying goodbye to Yu Yiyi, his eyebrows were full of tenderness.

Gu Yicheng looked at it for a while, then withdrew his gaze and changed the subject, "Have you thought about moving the base camp to the Hope Base? I heard that many people at Chaoyang Base are secretly tripping up the training center recently. Son." The first shot of the gun is that it is not the cultivation center that is in charge of the Chaoyang Base, and the managers are not doing anything. The cultivation center is now in full swing, and it will inevitably block some people's way. Chaoyang Base was among the teams sent to kidnap Yu Yiyi before. If you want to completely solve this situation, there are only two ways. One is to drive down the other forces in Chaoyang Base and replace them with yourself, and the other is to change to another base.

Yu Xian understood the meaning of what he said, pondered for a moment, and said, "No, the foundation of our cultivation center is in Chaoyang Base, and it will be more difficult to survive if we change places rashly." In any large base, many forces will take root. , It is not so easy for foreign forces to take root in other people's territory. What's more, I hope that the major forces like the base are inextricably linked. This is also one of the reasons why Yu Xian never thought of moving to the Hope Base.

Gu Yicheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said solemnly, "What if I said I could help?"

********************************

************************************

Recently, some people claimed that they were inexplicably attacked by unknown creatures near the imperial capital. Strangely, these people were not life-threatening, as if the creature that attacked them was just to play with them.

Because all this happened is too absurd, and these people can't find evidence, so few believe them.

Ruan Ning also heard about it, but like most people, she didn't take it to heart.

Until one day, after Gu Yicheng came back from a mission, he brought back something.

"Little flower?" Ruan Ning looked at the familiar-looking mutant plant lying in the flowerpot, looking surprised.

Immediately afterwards, Ruan Ning could feel the grievances it revealed all over his body. She thought that she had said that she would definitely go to C city to see it when she had time, but Yu Yiyi was at the Hope Base a month ago, and she promised Yu Xian to take care of her, so she didn't care about Xiaohua.

Ruan Ning is naturally very happy to see Xiaohua, but the question now is, why is Xiaohua who should be in City C now appearing here?

Ruan Ning has not heard any news about the disappearance of giant plants similar to City C recently. What is going on?

She couldn't communicate with the plants, so Ruan Ning could only put the hope of answering the doubts on Gu Yicheng who brought Xiaohua back.

"Brother, how did you bring Xiaohua back?" Ruan Ning was really curious, how did Xiaohua get back from City C.

Can plants move on their own? ? Could it be that someone saw that it was valuable, so he dug it out of the soil and brought it over? ! !

Gu Yicheng had never heard of the giant flower coming out of that city in the last life. He didn't expect that he had sent this mutant plant away, so this little guy would be able to run back again? ! ! It seems that he still underestimated the survivability of this little guy.

It was an accident that he encountered it.

"I found it on the side of the road. It seems that it was uprooted from the ground by other people when it was in city C, and then brought it to the vicinity of the imperial capital and left it alone. But luckily that person only took it away. As an ordinary mutant plant, it didn't do anything, so it could find a chance to come and ask me for help. And it should have remembered the smell on my body, and found me all of a sudden when I passed by. "

What happened was almost the same as what Ruan Ning had guessed just now.

"But if I guessed correctly, its body is still in City C. I feel that it is very weak now. Let's send it back as soon as possible." Gu Yicheng added.

If it wasn't for Gu Yicheng to know, if Ning Ning found out that something happened to this little guy, he would definitely be very sad, and he would not go to rescue him. Just let it die on the side of the road.

"Then let's set off quickly and send Xiaohua to City C."

Ruan Ning can be sure that the mutant plant in front of him is Xiaohua, not just a mutant plant that looks very similar to Xiaohua. Although she didn't know how it could be distinguished from the huge body, after Gu Yicheng's analysis just now, she immediately thought that as long as someone caught it in its current state, wouldn't it be easy? Just wipe it out? All creatures have their weaknesses, and it seems that this is Xiaohua's weakness.

Fortunately, only Gu Yicheng and Ruan Ning have seen Xiaohua's appearance. Others must have no way to associate it with the giant flower that occupies half of the city. Even Gu Yicheng couldn't confuse the two if he didn't know how it eats.

Gu Yicheng nodded: "I'll drive."

Without much delay, the two simply packed up and drove away from the Hope Base.

I haven't been to City C for more than a month, and the place has really changed a lot. Every corner of the city is full of various mutant plants, and even the houses on the roadside are entangled with various vines.

And different from the mutant plants cultivated by the breeding center that will not attack humans, these will, although they will not actively attack, only if someone approaches, they will suffer more or less.

This scene made Ruan Ning think of the scene he saw in the living area of ​​B-big before. It's just that the scene in front of you is bigger and more spectacular.

The deeper you go, the more difficult it is to get in, and the plants block all the way and don't let others pass.

However, Ruan Ning also judged that their direction was right, and the huge body of Xiaohua should be in this direction. Otherwise, there won't be so many plants around.

The little flower was lying in the flowerpot, and Ruan Ning gave the crystal nucleus to let it continue its life, in case it was really dead.

On the way from the Hope Base, Ruan Ning saw that its flower bones became more and more wilted. It seemed that it had been away from the main body for too long, so it looked more and more devoid of energy. However, after entering City C, the situation was much better, and it even had the strength to stretch out its tentacles to wrap around her wrist.

Ruan Ning looked at it's heartless appearance, and immediately hated that iron was not steel. Didn't it look quite clever when it was obviously staying by her side before? Why was it so careless this time, so easily uprooted by others? !

If Gu Yicheng did not pass by the place where it was left, and did not discover its existence, wouldn't it mean that he would not be able to see it again in the future?

Thinking of this, Ruan Ning felt a little uncomfortable, and she didn't even want to pay attention to this little guy who made her worry.
