Collapse, a simulator of lifelong regret!

At first, Jiang Cheng didn't even realize what Wei Liwei said.

Until my eyes met those silver-gray eyes.

This has never happened before.

Because all the gifts I had received before were sorted out with Alicia and opened by myself, the only one I could open right after receiving was the girl who had been accompanying me on my journey.

It's not because of any etiquette or regulations.

A gift from someone else is more like an admission ticket, and the focus is still on Alicia herself.

No one cares about the nominal protagonist, the boy, and no one even bothers to give him a blessing.

It seems that he is unwilling to waste even a little time with Alicia. Maybe if he does not give her the blessing, he can say a few more words to the girl.

All the gifts would just be piled up in the storage area, and even handing over a gift personally would be a big interruption in their time, and they might miss the moment to talk to Alicia.

At first, some people might choose to hand it in personally for the sake of face, but after having experienced it several times, no one does this anymore.

As for Velvet, who seemed to be the only exception and should be treated the same as Alicia...⑧

It was so exciting to open the presents in front of her.

Not that the gift might have included something like a spring-fisted prank, the girl would never do anything so bad.

The fact that her gift was opened in front of her was difficult for the overly self-abased, sensitive, and self-loathing girl to accept.

This kind of thing is too exciting for Weiwei.

A point has been reached where a ban is necessary.

Unacceptable level.

No matter what expression you make, it is inappropriate. No matter how subtle the change is, just licking your lips may be infinitely pondered and interpreted by that clever brain, and the final result will only be disgust with yourself, which will always shift to dislike for yourself.

The key is that the girl doesn't like to speak out loud. If there is anything, she will just keep it deep in her heart, causing some self-righteous misunderstandings to ferment in her heart.

But only this time.

This is the only gift this time.

The girl hoped that the boy would open it on the spot.

Even though Jiang Cheng raised his head and looked seriously into those weak and evasive silver-grey eyes, he could not see the slightest trace of retreat.

All escapes, all fears, and all negative factors are suppressed.

It is completely impossible to imagine what the girl is thinking.

……

"This time, it's a gift."

"I would like you to open it yourself."

"Right here, at your birthday party."

Weiwei looked at him with a shy look, trying hard to overcome the desire to lower her head. Her eyes were bright and penetrating, fearful yet firm. All these unrelated characteristics appeared in them only at this moment.

……

……

what……

"of course."

We are speechless.jpg

PS: No matter how weak and incompetent a person is, he or she cannot stand watching the people he or she cherishes the most and loves the most being ignored.

Can you please give me some tickets?

Chapter of Stars and Moon: 20. Velvet: Please... leave Alicia!

Jiang Cheng had a smile on his lips. There was no anger or feeling of being looked down upon in his expression, but rather a sense of pride.

——Because this means that the girl has taken the first step.

It’s not just as simple as unpacking the gift box.

It's not just about being able to face your inner thoughts.

This means that now Weiwei can even ask herself to do something and can speak up. This idea no longer has to be buried and suppressed in her heart.

The only thing that makes people a little confused is the estrangement that should have been eliminated within two years.

But at this moment, it has formed a wall of mixed fear and terror.

It was as if taking a step was not an adjective, but a real step, stepping onto a cliff with no way out or room for buffer.

"If I am very dissatisfied with this gift, then next time on your birthday, I will also give you something that I am very dissatisfied with."

"As an old friend for such a long time, please don't leave any mischief for me."

……

It may seem like a harsh remark, but in fact it is a relatively high EQ answer that the boy, who also started traveling without much social experience, tried his best to find from his interactions with Alicia and others.

The essence is actually to reduce the girl's nervousness and shift the problem to other places.

The only problem is that it seems to have lost its purpose at this point.

Normally, just one word from the girl would make her realize the problem and let go of her restraints, but at this moment, it seemed that this action had completely lost its effectiveness.

Weiwei was still nervous - she bit her rosy lower lip lightly, her slender fingertips tangled together inadvertently, making the black silk satin hanging from her dress curl up into a mess like a cat's wool ball.

The silver-gray eyes stared at his fingertips, watching the boy open the exquisite gift box and adjust the delicate dark golden gears to the appropriate position. Even his slender, soft, and bony fingers were left with red marks.

——It was obvious that he was extremely nervous.

Even considering the girl's different personality from ordinary people, such behavior can be called abnormal.

——Is there anything special about this gift?

Out of curiosity, Jiang Cheng gently opened the box in his hand.

It is very empty inside, and unlike in the past, it does not have some novel gadgets that are obviously ahead of the times to provide assistance in travel and convenience in life.

Instead, it was in the format of an invitation letter, with a dark golden document in the middle, and typical...

——Invitation?!

The boy's fingertips pinched the hard edge, and his dark pupils suddenly expanded, as if to imprint all the information on the card into his eyes.

This is an invitation letter inviting me to work in a place called "Spiral Workshop", and the position is not even an ordinary worker.

If I read it correctly...

is the master.

……

"For the next birthday party, I hope you can host it with me as the owner of Spiral Workshop."

The girl gently pressed her chest, pushing down the light gauze that was wrapped around it, creating a white depression in the overly soft flesh, just like ripe milk suddenly appearing, rubbing, colliding and squeezing each other, creating a wave of silky flesh.

The voice was shy and hesitant, yet incredibly firm.

Just like a frog imprisoned in a well, with the help of others, it takes the first step towards the truly open world and leaves the narrow bottom of the well.

Although it doesn't count.

Although this progress is too insignificant.

Even though it seems too ridiculous and too humble to use it as a source of bragging.

No matter how small.

No matter how ridiculous.

No matter how many people will ridicule this progress as incompetent.

——This is the first step.

This is the first step taken by the girl.

This was the first step taken by the girl herself.

It is not being pulled by others, nor is it being forced forward, nor is it being swept forward by the waves - just like a lone sail on the sea, unable to control its own direction, and can only be kneaded and toyed with by the drifting ocean, but it is truly out of one's own will, truly out of the awareness in one's heart.

That's the only thing to be proud of.

That's the only thing worth telling.

The step you take is insignificant.

For any ordinary person, this is just a simple statement.

The only thing worth praising is the first time.

The girl, who had always been obsessed with endless internal consumption and was so disgusted that she wanted to become someone else, dared to look directly into those dark eyes for the first time.

Look.

Your efforts are not in vain.

You have successfully helped me take a crucial step, and now I can do some insignificant things with my own will.

and so……

you can……

Stay with me?

Look at me more, cast your gaze on me?

……

She didn't dare to say it out loud. Just thinking about it in her heart and just taking a little action had already exhausted all the girl's courage.

But in those bright and shining eyes, mixed with shyness, timidity and fear, this idea has already broken through all limitations, as dazzling as a star in the dark night, fearful but firm.

Although if you do that, you may not even be able to be friends.

Although if her only friend really disappeared like bubbles, the girl would undoubtedly fall into the abyss and would not even be able to stay as she did before.

Although this is definitely not a choice that a bystander, a girl who spends less than a dozen hours in close contact with a boy throughout the year, should make without any room for regret.

The cherry-colored lips opened before her thoughts came to her mind, and she expressed the girl's long-suppressed wish.

"Please..."

"Leave Alicia."

The girl spoke words that were incomprehensible.⑧

The voice was soft but very firm.

Very clear.

"Eh?"

Jiang Cheng showed a strange and surprised emotion, and subconsciously pinched the card, his fingertips were squeezed a little white, and the hard edges were twisted a little.

The dark eyes looked at the girl's face in confusion, unable to realize what had happened.

What is she talking about?

Why would you suddenly say something like this?

I've been in a bad mood recently.

Are you hallucinating?

"I said……"

Seeing that the boy had no way to understand.
