Another Life: Elf Archer

How do you know what day you were born? ..

If someone suddenly raises such a question, it is estimated that many people will sneer at it and think that there is something wrong with this person and this question.

But if the person with the problem insists that he must get an answer, then the only answer that can be given to him is silence.

Human memory does not begin from the moment of birth.

Therefore, for most natural people, the definition of birthday comes from the confirmation of others, rather than self-knowledge.

However, in Gongzi Yanxiang's life, he has this kind of self-awareness every year.

If a clock were conscious, it would at least know which second it started turning.

Therefore, there is no need to continue to cover up. Young Master Yan himself doesn't mind, Qi Youfeng doesn't mind either, and others present won't make random comments.

"I don't know what day I was born, I don't remember."

Nian Nian's tone was a little confused.

"Then how did you know today is your birthday?"

"I" Nian Nian was speechless. Could she say that she just regarded the day she went online as her birthday?

Just because that day was the clearest beginning in her memory.

"Okay, okay, no one remembers the day they were born, others just tell them the date."

Qi Youfeng interrupted and gave Young Master Yan a warning look.

Young Master Yan kept his mouth shut and shrugged indifferently. Since the person involved wanted to be confused, he had better stop meddling in other people's business.

only

Gongzi Yan carefully observed Nian Nian's expression, a little panicked, a little confused, and more of a kind of confusion lingering like a mist.

Could this "person" not know his true identity?

The joy of receiving the gift had been washed away. Niannian opened Qi Youfeng's gift, politely thanked her, and gently traced circles on the delicate decorations with her fingertips.

Nian Nian lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking. Gongzi Yan once again received a silent and strong condemnation.

And this time, not only did Qi Youfeng keep glaring at him, but Gu Yu and his bodyguards also frequently looked at him strangely. They couldn't understand why this person was so unkind, celebrating a little girl's birthday. Sometimes he asks weird questions aggressively.

Young Master Yan sighed and imitated those warriors and clasped his fists, facing both Niannian and Qi Youfeng.

"When we get out of here, I'll invite Zimo and the others to have a birthday party for you to make it fun."

Qi Youfeng did not respond to Young Master Yan's apology, but looked at Nian Nian and suggested with a smile.

Every year’s attention is diverted in an instant.

"I know someone who can make pastries. Although the taste will still be a little different and there won't be many flavor choices, it should be no problem to make a simple cream birthday cake."

"Birthday Cake"

Nian Nian's eyes began to shine.

"never eaten"

Year after year he shook his head.

"I don't know if I can eat this or if there is a cream cake made with flowers and plants."

"Vegetable cream? I have to ask, but it's probably a bit difficult to do."

Qi Youfeng seriously thought about the feasibility of "making butter from flowers and grass".

She looks forward to it every year. Although she has seen cream cakes in games, she has never eaten them. ..

Sarah criticized this item as unhealthy. Alexander said that the source of the cream in the game was very strange and he did not recommend her to try it. Dion, who is also an elf, said that the taste of this item is not as good as the real cream cake, and the texture is very greasy. .

Nick didn't mind letting her taste it, but before he could fulfill his promise, she slipped away thousands of miles away.

I wonder if everyone who was a Christmas clown remembered to prepare gifts for her and brought them with her?

The thought of receiving another pile of gifts fifteen days later makes me feel much better every year.

"How did you spend your birthdays in previous years?"

Qi Youfeng seemed to be aware of Nian Nian's thoughts at this moment, and asked softly.

"Are there any special foods or habits?"

I thought about it every year and answered uncertainly, "Is climbing trees a special habit?"

"The one who climbs trees climbs trees."

This special habit confused Young Master Yan, and Gu Yu was mobilizing his rich knowledge reserves to try to decipher the meaning of this special ritual.

"It's just tree climbing." Nian Nian doubted his Chinese proficiency and expressed himself incorrectly.

"Why is there any special significance to climbing a tree?" Qi Youfeng asked.

"I don't know if this is of any special significance," Nian Nian scratched his cheek, "Nick planted a tree, and every year he puts his birthday gift on the top of the tree and asks me to climb up and get it."

"Later on, other Christmas clowns followed suit," Nian Nian said a little depressed. "If you want to get a gift, just go up and pick it yourself."

"But I escaped disaster this year. I don't have to climb the tree anymore."

Nian Nian suddenly felt that this weird cell was much more pleasing to the eye. In fact, the scenery of this sky cell was quite good.

"Are you afraid of climbing trees?"

Qi Youfeng asked funnyly, when they were still in the Qinling Mountains, the other brothers in the village secretly called her little monkey more than once.

"You don't know," Nian Nian said with a grimace, "Nick didn't know where he got this magical variety. Have you ever seen a tree that grew more than ten meters in the first year? This is the fourth year before I left. I even went to see it and it’s definitely 50 meters tall now.”

"50 meters, how tall can this tree grow to the sky?"

Everyone thinks of an old fairy tale.

Nian Nian shook his head and said with a flat mouth, "It's still growing anyway, but it seems that the growth rate has slowed down."

In fact, the reason why this tree can grow so tall is partly due to her.

She thought the tree could grow too much, so she secretly cut off a section. The more she cut off, the faster the tree grew, and the more she wanted to cut off more sections.

In the end, Alexander couldn't stand it anymore and told her that the tree could only grow at such an abnormal growth rate during its newborn period, but her act of chopping down the tree without any problem actually extended its newborn period indefinitely.

He dug a deep hole for himself, and every year he decided to crumb up the matter and stuff it into the cracks in the wall. Anyway, it was all Nick's fault.

"How can you see a rainbow without going through wind and rain? This should be the meaning of asking you to climb a tree to pick gifts."

Gu Yu guessed.

In his opinion, this is a very meaningful ritual, especially since there is no real danger in the game.

"No," Nian Nian shook his head firmly, "That's not what he said. Nick said it was a gift in return for a birthday gift."

"Gift in return"

Nian Nian raised his hand and took out a green leaf-like hairpin from his hair, with three crystal leaves on it.

"After getting the gift, he asked me to take a leaf from the top of the tree. This was both a birthday gift I gave myself and a gift in return for them."

"explain"

Several people present had given up guessing the deeper meaning of Nick, and at the same time they could clearly feel his influence on Nian Nian.

"Let me think about it, what he said seemed to start from the meaning of birthday."

"Why do people celebrate birthdays? For themselves, it is probably to celebrate their birth and to celebrate that they are still alive. But living is not a very pleasant thing, and many times it is meaningless."

Although they were retelling it every year, Qi Youfeng and Gongzi Yan felt as if they heard another voice, deep and hidden in the girl's crisp words.

"So, celebrating birthdays can be seen as a kind of self-comfort that life is better than death. It can also be seen as a kind of human arrogance, in order to make one's existence unique."

"So, why would anyone be willing to celebrate your birthday and prepare a gift for you to celebrate? Leave behind those vulgar people who only use money to measure meaning, leave behind those mediocre people who rigidly follow tradition, and return to the original one Why would a person feel that the birth of another person is something worthy of his celebration?"

"Actually, this is very simple. The meaning of a birthday gift is to tell you that your birth makes me happy and your existence makes me happy. Thank you."

"Thank you for the moment you were born, allowing me to meet you in the rest of your life."
