“Happy birthday…?”

It was too late to stop the sound, the girl had already seen the small words written on the card of the gift box.

"Mother Ceria, could this be!"

"Ah~ I didn't expect to be discovered in advance."

The kind woman sighed with a wry smile, patted her head first, then took the gift box and said.

"In one day, it will be a full year since you and Bai Ge came to this town. I want to treat that day as your birthday. This is also a tradition of the orphanage."

"Birthday? Then could these two boxes be the legendary birthday presents?!"

"Yes, this is a birthday present for both of you. Please keep it a secret from Bai Ge."

"Yeah! Okay! I'll keep it a secret!"

The pink-haired girl raised her hand to cover her mouth and spoke seriously, and the next second she seemed to have thought of something, and two bright stars seemed to light up in her eyes.

"Gift, birthday gift... Great! I've got an idea!" She ran out excitedly.

"Eh? Where are you going?"

"Goodbye, Mommy Ceria. I'm going to find a birthday present that will make Bai Ge happy!"

"Uh, this kid is really..."

Looking at the pink-haired girl who had already run away, Ceria's face showed a helpless and doting expression.

………………

Meanwhile on the other side.

After thinking for an entire afternoon and still failing to come up with a name, Bai Ge returned to the town in frustration.

(I thought I could find inspiration in the forest where I first met her, but it’s not that easy. No, I can’t just give up. I must think of it!)

Bai Ge encouraged himself in his heart, but suddenly a voice came.

"Isn't this Xiao Baige?"

"Hmm? Hello, Grandma Sarah."

The town is not big and everyone knows each other.

Bai Ge politely greeted the white-haired old lady in front of him, then took the paper bag from her hand naturally and skillfully. Although he is only a child under ten years old, he is not weak in strength.

After all, even if you can't control all the powers, it's still easy to use Honkai energy to strengthen your body.

"Good boy, thank you for your help."

"You're welcome Granny Sarah. Are these books supposed to be put in the bookstore? Let me help you."

The old people were not in good health, and Bai Ge would occasionally secretly use the power of the Lawgiver of Life and Death to help them improve their health.

But such things should not be done too exaggeratedly.

"Okay~ Thank you. Although my bookstore is small, I still need to buy new books from time to time."

"May I take a look at it?"

"Of course you can, Xiao Baige. I welcome your pink girl to come over. Hasn't she given herself a name yet?"

"Uh, it's almost done! It will be ready soon."

"Oh?"

After hearing Bai Ge's words, Sarah raised her eyebrows and then showed a loving smile. She raised her rough but warm hand and touched Bai Ge's head.

"You want to name the girl yourself, haha~ If you can't think of a nice name, you can look for it in a book."

"I… um, okay…"

Bai Ge's cheeks turned red and he felt a little embarrassed.

Even though he had encountered many big scenes in his two lifetimes, his age was after all less than a quarter of the old man in front of him, and some of his thoughts were immediately seen through by these experienced people.

After helping Sarah organize the bookshelf, Bai Ge picked up a new book and started reading based on his feeling.

"Eternal Paradise?"

This is the name of the book. For some reason, his heart skipped a beat the moment he saw the name.

Although the writing of the previous civilization is different from that of the current civilization, he has mastered it completely this year. Bai Ge took a deep breath and began to read it, and found that this was a fairy tale adapted from a myth.

“A flawless paradise… an everlasting land…”

(Found it, this is it!)

Bai Ge's eyes fell on the last word in the storybook and he stood up from his chair.

He finally found the most suitable name for the girl!

"Haha, it seems that Xiao Baige has found something satisfactory. Then I'll give this book to you."

"Grandma Sarah, is this really possible?"

"Of course, good kid, think of this book as an early birthday present from me. After all, tomorrow is the first year that you and that pink girl have been in this town. I was originally worried about what to give you."

"Birthday...gift?" Bai Ge was stunned.

As an orphan, he doesn't know his birthday, but if he were to count the day he arrived at this era as his birthday, then tomorrow would indeed be his birthday and also the birthday of the pink-haired girl.

Thinking of this, Bai Ge couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips and looked at the fairy tale book in his hand with satisfaction.

Isn't this the most suitable gift!

"Thank you, Grandma Sarah!"

"You're welcome. Come play with that girl often when you have time."

"Well, I see!"

Bai Ge happily took the book and hid it in his arms, then ran towards the orphanage.

But at this moment.

The pink-haired girl happened to be walking over from the opposite direction, and when she saw him, she quickly hid something in her clothes.

"Hi~Bai Ge, what a coincidence."

(No, I can’t let him find out now.)

"Well, it's a coincidence."

(Not good. It’s not the right time to give it to her yet.)

A white-haired ball and a pink-haired ball, both with stiff smiles on their faces, covered the things in their arms guiltily, and then slowly moved towards the orphanage.

Celia saw the look on their faces, and the kind orphanage director smiled with her hands covering her mouth.

........................

the next day.

A mountain of gifts was piled up in the orphanage.

Everyone in the town gave gifts to Bai Ge and the girl, which shows how popular these two little ones are.

Looking at these gifts and the blessings sent by everyone, not to mention the girls, even Bai Ge felt extremely moved. The feeling of being surrounded by pure kindness was so wonderful.

The pink-haired girl, who was celebrating her birthday for the first time and being surrounded by so much kindness for the first time, felt that she had undergone some indescribable change, as if something had blossomed in her heart.

Just then Bai Ge walked up to her.

"Happy birthday, this is my gift."

"Bai Ge, you also!"

The girl opened her eyes wide in surprise, and then took out the gift that she had hidden in her arms.

"Haha~ Looks like we're thinking the same thing."

Bai Ge also showed a surprised expression.

The two looked at each other with happy smiles and accepted the gifts 570 from each other.

The girl gave Bai Ge a gorgeous pink crystal flower. Its lifelike shape was as beautiful as a work of art, which really surprised Bai.

"So beautiful, where did you find this?"

"Um, this, this is what I picked up in the mountains."

While saying this, the girl turned her eyes away and tapped with two fingers.

Bai Ge felt that he was so cute, and the Wei in his heart died over and over again.

"Thank you, I like it very much. You should also take a look at my gift. I finally found the most beautiful name!"

"Eh? Name?"

"Yes, that's your name, she's in the book."

The girl felt her heart skip a beat. She immediately put the book on the table and started flipping through it impatiently.

Because it is a story about the alteration of a myth, it is not very long and each page has a colorful illustration.

Bai Ge cleared his throat and began to recite.

"Legend has it that there is a paradise at the end of the world. The protagonist of the story sets out on a journey to find it, but everyone says that paradise does not exist."

"But the protagonist did not give up. She kept traveling and exploring. After going through countless hardships and tests, she finally arrived at the end of her journey. As a result, there was nothing there... The legendary paradise really did not exist."

"But she still didn't give up. Instead, she stood at the end of the world and shouted loudly..."

The girl continued his words excitedly.

Girl: "If paradise doesn't exist, then I'll create one myself!"

Bai Ge: "So she continued on a longer and more difficult journey. During this process, more and more people gathered around her. These people with the same aspirations accompanied her towards the end of her dream until the end..."

Girl: "They cheered, hugged each other, and sang for the realization of their dreams~!"

Bai Ge: "Yes! They finally arrived at the paradise. It is there. At the end of this journey, people cheered and shouted her name..."

The story book turned to the last page.

Look at that last word.
