"Ready! Ready!"
"Hurry and turn off the lights."
The roommates had just finished decorating the dorm, and before they could even start, Song Daiyao was already impatient.
"Wait a moment, I need to take a call." Just as she was about to join in, Qiu Xi received a call from an unknown number.
...
"Okay, I'll be down now."
"Xiao Xi, who was it?"
"I don't know, it seems like a delivery person. They asked me to come down and get something. I'll go check it out first."
"Then hurry up, we'll wait for you to come back."
"Okay, be right back."
Saying that, Qiu Xi hurried downstairs.
As soon as she went down, she saw a delivery person holding a bouquet of flowers at the dormitory entrance. Students coming in and out couldn't help but glance at her.
After hesitating for a moment, Qiu Xi walked over.
Before she could speak, the person opposite her spoke first, "Hello, are you Qiu Xi?"
Still not understanding the situation, Qiu Xi stammered back, "Yes, I am."
"Okay, these are the flowers for you, and a plush toy. Please take them."
"Lastly, happy birthday."
Hearing this, Qiu Xi snapped back to reality and took the items handed to her, "Okay, thank you!"
As the delivery person left, Qiu Xi looked at the flowers in her hands and saw a card.
When she took it out, it read:
happybirthday!kanδん
The signature was Linglong.
While she was still looking at the greeting card, her phone vibrated, as if it was a text message.
She opened it and saw a message from Hua Linglong.
"Xiao Xi, happy birthday, a little gift to show my appreciation. *bows*"
"Received it~♪٩(´ᵕ｀๑)۶⁾⁾～"
"Then have fun, I'll be leaving now!"
"Go ahead, I'll treat you to cake another day."
Seeing no further messages, Qiu Xi returned to the dorm with her gifts.
"You're back, what are you holding?" Song Daiyao asked without turning her head as she heard the door open.
"Flowers and a plush toy from a friend."
"The one you mentioned earlier?"
"Yes."
"Alright, you two, stop chatting and let's get started."
"Coming."
Qiu Xi put down her things and sat back down at the table.
"I've ordered, Yan Yan, turn off the lights quickly."
"Pop." The dark dormitory was now illuminated only by the lit birthday candles.
"Come on, Xiao Xi, make a wish."
Looking at the faint yellow candlelight before her, Qiu Xi clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and began to make a wish.
"Whoosh."
As soon as the candles were blown out, the girls turned on the small fairy lights they had prepared earlier and started singing the birthday song.
"...happybirthdaytoyou..."
"Xiao Xi, happy birthday!"
As soon as they finished their blessings, the three of them took out the gifts they had prepared one after another, "Here are the gifts we prepared for you."
"Thank you!"
Qiu Xi was truly touched. She hadn't expected her roommates, with whom she spent every day, to secretly prepare a surprise.
"Okay, no more thank yous, let's cut the cake quickly." Song Daiyao had been staring at the mousse cake for a long time, her mouth watering.
Seeing Song Daiyao's eyes practically glued to the cake, Qiu Xi couldn't help but laugh, "Hahaha~ Coming right up."
"Come on, pour the drinks!"
Taking out the small wine glasses they had prepared, Liang Yunfei began to pour fruit wine for everyone.
"Here's to it, from now on, little fairies are legally allowed to consume alcohol~"
With these words, coupled with the flickering of the fairy lights, the dorm birthday celebration felt complete.
"Come, come, come~"
The four of them ate and drank, played games, and even sang a few songs from time to time, turning the place into a mini disco.
Fortunately, it wasn't too late, and it was Friday, otherwise they might have received complaints.
After playing for a long time, feeling a little full and a bit dizzy, the girls finally decided to wrap things up.
"No, I can't move anymore, let's call it a night!"
"Me too."
"Let's tidy up, wash up, and go to sleep."
"Okay."
After a quick tidy-up, they all went to sleep.
