I traveled through Genshin Impact, and there was a chat group.

Ines was startled by the sound the doctor made.

He's only been gone for a few seconds?

Take a look?

Ines moved curiously toward the doctor's location, only to see the doctor place a rather large two-tiered cake on the car seat.

cake?

Is that the little girl's birthday?

Noticing that Ines was looking at him, the Doctor turned his head to look at Ines.

Why not hide?

Ines silently retreated.

The doctor raised an eyebrow.

What a strange person. I haven't seen him say more than a few words in the past few days, and he doesn't even come close to me.

嗏

This guy does indeed stare at me every day.

To be precise, he was staring at his own shadow, and every time he looked at it, he would have a suspicious look in his eyes, as if he was doubting himself.

Hearing Vishdale counting, the Doctor immediately looked around.

He needs to find a good place to hide himself!

Considering that it was getting late and that Vishdel was just a child, and unfortunately, this was a desert, and the area they had chosen was not very large.

There is no invincible point.

Why don't you learn from that Sarkaz and bury yourself in the ground?

Vishdale quickly ran out of numbers.

She looked up, walked straight towards the professor's old car, and yanked open the door!

Inside was a PhD.

The doctor tilted his head and gave Wishdale a thumbs up.

"You found me, that's great."

Vishdale was taken aback when he saw the doctor in the car, then chuckled.

She hadn't actually expected the doctor to be in the car; she had only heard the initial noise he made and was trying to find him by following his route.

And the PhD…

The doctor guessed that Vishdale would open the car door, so he simply waited inside.

I'll also post the cake in the group chat.

The second one to be found was the Sarkaz who had buried himself.

It was the doctor who tipped him off; the doctor was afraid that the Sarkaz would suffocate in the ground.

After Nasakaz was dug out by Vishdel, he imitated the Doctor and repeated what the Doctor had said.

"You found me, that's great."

Ines, who was casually hiding behind the car, quietly squatted down.

She heard it.

Do I have to say it myself?

hiss…

I should have known better than to play.

"Hehe, you found me, that's great!"

Hedley's heartfelt praise rang out, and Ines stood up, leaned over the car, and peeked out furtively.

But Vishdel saw this clearly.

Then... she was arrested.

Vishdel stood before Ines, his eyes gleaming.

Meanwhile, Hedley, the Doctor, and several of his own mercenaries were all watching him.

"You found me, that's great."

Ines said something dryly.

Vishdale cheered and went on to find the next person.

"Doesn't seem like a Sarkaz at all, does it?"

Hedley watched as Vishdel continued her search and the mercenaries following behind her, each seemingly forgetting their own predicament.

"I was never a Sarkaz."

Ines retorted.

"Yes, yes, you are not a Sarkaz."

Hedley did not deny it.

"But you don't need to be so vigilant now."

"At least for PhDs, we don't need to be so wary."

Ines paused for a moment.

In Kazdel, backstabbing is not uncommon.

She looked at the group of people having a great time and took a deep breath.

"...As you wish."

"No need to keep watch tonight, so relax and treat this as a vacation."

"What do you mean?"

Ines was taken aback.

Hedley looked into the distance and smiled.

“Scareye didn’t just hire us. Maybe it’s because we have a decent reputation that he made us his cover escorts.”

Ines was speechless: "Is this sending away a plague god?"

"Who knows? But this job went surprisingly smoothly, and Scarface paid out a lot, didn't he?"

As long as the money is in place, that's fine.

As night deepened, it took Vishdale some time to find everyone.

Sitting by the only campfire, the doctor took out the cake.

It says "Happy Birthday" on it.

"Actually, I don't know when your birthday is, but I thought you might not have eaten this before, so I made one."

"This isn't something you have to eat on your birthday."

Vishdale stood there, holding the two-tiered cake, lost in thought.

Don't get me wrong, she didn't understand the four characters above, she didn't even know how to pronounce them.

But I've heard about my birthday from other people.

"So... Vishdel, when is your birthday?"

It was Ines who spoke.

"I do not know."

Ines was not surprised.

"Let's set it for today then."

Ines made the decision for Vishdel.

Vishdel looked at Ines with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Huh? So hasty?

"Actually, it's not bad. You're different from us Sarkaz."

You have a home now.

"A name, a birthday, you can have what other people with families have."

Hedley pondered, seemingly thinking about what a normal person should live.

Vishdel didn't speak.

The doctor didn't say a word either.

Family?

Is Rhodes Island home?

The doctor smiled inwardly, but his expression remained unchanged.

While Vishdel was lost in thought, Ines suddenly handed him a knife.

"I washed it, and I even baked it."

"Cut it."

"Hey, wait a minute."

"Since you're celebrating your birthday today... shouldn't you make a wish?"

Hedley raised his hand to stop Vishdel from cutting the cake.

The doctor raised a flame in his hand, lit the candle, and placed it on the cake.

Meanwhile, Hedley knelt on one knee, dragging the cake, while Vishdel closed his eyes and, at that moment, made his first wish in his heart.
