Living in an apartment: Only children make choices.

Zeng Xiaoxian offered some words of advice.

"Ziqiao, don't take laxatives."

"If you keep eating, I'm not sure if we can pay the bills, but you're definitely in serious trouble!"

Just then, Zhang Wei suddenly spoke up.

"Ziqiao, I have something to tell you, please don't be angry, okay?"

Lu Ziqiao turned his head and said.

"Speak up!"

Zhang Wei said in a very serious tone.

"I checked the amount of money again this morning and found that I had miscalculated it myself."

"Actually, what you ate wasn't five yuan and fifty cents, it was four yuan and fifty cents."

Lu Ziqiao paused for a moment before speaking.

"Four yuan and fifty cents?"

"So, those two fictitious 50-cent trolls never existed at all?"

Zhang Wei nodded and said.

"That's how it is!"

"You don't need to take laxatives anymore."

At this moment, Xinling and Nuolan thoughtfully reached out and covered Lin Yun's ears, one on each side.

The next moment, Lü Ziqiao shouted at the top of his lungs.

"your sister!"

"Why didn't you say so sooner?!"

"Just for this non-existent money, I took laxatives for an extra day and a half!!"

Looking at the enraged Lü Ziqiao, Zhang Wei said innocently.

"I didn't expect you to be this hungry."

"Who eats dumplings without chewing them?"

Seeing that Lu Ziqiao still looked ready to fight him to the death, Zhang Wei tentatively said...

"Ziqiao, how about..."

"I'll make up that dollar for you!!"

A moment later, Lin Yun stepped in and pulled Lü Ziqiao away, saving Zhang Wei's life.

Then, Lin Yun turned his head and said.

"Xinling, where did Meijia go?"

Xinling said with a smile.

"She went to the pet store to feed the animals."

"Although the pet store is closed during the Chinese New Year, the animals' diet is still guaranteed."

Lin Yun nodded and said.

"Hey everyone, don't forget what day it is today! We have to give Mika a surprise!"

Tang Youyou tentatively asked.

"A surprise? Should I prepare something in advance?"

Lin Yun raised his hand to interrupt.

"A sack of balls!"

"What we want to create is surprises, not shocks!"

"Be sure to pay close attention and grasp the appropriate measure!"

Everyone nodded and said in unison.

"I understand perfectly!"

Lin Yun continued.

"Our code is!"

Everyone said in unison.

"No code!"

Lin Yun nodded in satisfaction.

"very good!"

"Prepare for action!!"

…………

Nighttime, Suite 3602.

Chen Meijia inserted the key into the door, then gently turned the doorknob to open the door.

Upon seeing the dark room, she casually pressed the light switch next to her.

[Bang! Bang!]

Colorful ribbons slowly fell from the sky.

The crowd shouted in unison.

Happy birthday, Mika!!

Seeing everyone's smiling faces, Chen Meijia said with red eyes.

"So you guys still remember my birthday!!"

Lin Yun walked over with the cake, smiling as she spoke.

"What are you saying? Have you ever forgotten it in the last two years?"

Chen Meijia pouted and said.

"So this morning, you ignored all my hints."

Vivi said with a smile.

"Isn't this all setting the stage for tonight's surprise?"

Lin Yun urged.

·· ·······Requesting flowers···· ···

"Meijia, come in quickly."

"Make a wish, blow out the candles!"

Chen Meijia wiped away the tears that had appeared on her face without her noticing, and quickly walked into the house.

Then, under everyone's gaze, he put his hands together and silently expressed his wish.

Then he opened his eyes, blew hard, and extinguished all the candles on top.

While Chen Meijia was cutting the cake, everyone also presented the gifts they had carefully prepared.

Looking at the gifts piled up in front of her, Chen Meijia's eyes reddened again as she spoke.

"Thank you everyone for remembering my birthday, thank you, thank you everyone!"

Hu Yifei casually put her arm around Chen Meijia's shoulder and said.

"No need to thank me, we're all family!"

"Saying thank you is too formal!"

Tang Youyou said happily.

"It's your birthday today, don't cry, cheer up!"

.... .. ...

Just then, Lin Yun heard a soft sob.

Lin Yun turned his head and saw Qin Yumo secretly wiping away tears.

Lin Yun quietly approached Qin Yumo and gently pinched her nose.

"What? Are you feeling sentimental again?"

Qin Yumo nodded sadly, then buried her face in Lin Yun's arms.

However, at that moment, Nolan suddenly spoke.

"Something seems off. One of the gifts is missing."

The next second, everyone turned their attention to Lu Ziqiao.

Lu Ziqiao thought that with so many people in the apartment, he could get through this crisis by keeping a low profile.

But to my surprise, the observant Nuolan still managed to discover it.

So, Lü Ziqiao hurriedly said.

"I gave a gift!"

"The candles on this cake... are the ones I bought!"

"It was originally meant to be one of those candles that sing and bloom, but I thought it was too noisy."

"So I paid extra to get these traditional candles!!"

Qin Yumo rolled her eyes.

"Then it would be better not to send anything at all!"

"That's way too perfunctory!!"
