Chapter 246 Birthday Gift
Chapter 246 Birthday Gift
I opened my eyes suddenly and saw the empty ceiling.
The door had been pushed open, and two creatures with a strong presence appeared in the room.
Rubbing my temples, I looked up at the ceiling and asked sincerely and painfully, "Why, why?"
"Wu-chan, what do you want to ask me?"
"I'm not asking you," I deadpanned. "I'm asking God why the two of you are here."
“It’s just haunting.”
Yesterday, when he proposed a series of birthday activities, I rejected them without hesitation and warned him not to do anything rash.
This guy looked unwilling, but he still agreed to my request and went back reluctantly.
How come he suddenly showed up again today, and in my bedroom?
"Jie, what's wrong with you?" I stared at him with resentment, "You have been completely assimilated by this guy."
"Where's your good character? Where's your moral bottom line? And where's your conscience?" I pointed at his chest and asked bitterly, "Did Gojo Satoru eat them all?!"
I'm so angry, I want to beat someone up, the kind that requires hanging him up.
"Ahem, Kiri-chan." Xiayou Jie sighed helplessly and explained, "I'm sorry. But we knocked on the door for a long time, and Wu was still holding the door, shouting your name from outside in a super exaggerated way, but you didn't respond at all."
"We came in because we were worried about you."
"Yes." Gojo Satoru pouted and added, "I am just concerned about you."
"I slept for so long, like a little pig."
"Hey, Gojo Satoru, do you know how to speak?" I flew into a rage, glaring at him and saying, "You are the pig, your whole family is pigs. You yourself are a big wild boar with a white chicken-coop head, running around all over the mountains and plains."
Gojo Satoru: “…It’s not necessary to describe it in such detail.”
"Kiri-chan." Xiayou Jie showed me the clock on his phone and said, "You did sleep for a long time."
I:"........"
Well...it can’t be said to be abnormal. How can I tell them that this is my normal routine?
When I'm not working, I stay up late to watch anime, read novels, and play games. I eat lunch directly after waking up during the day. This is a common occurrence for me. If I get really excited, I can even stay up all night.
Who makes office workers accumulate so much pressure from work that they can only express it in this way in a retaliatory way?
But I didn’t expect that I wasn’t woken up despite sleeping so deeply.
"Maybe it's because it's too cold and I'm lazy." I yawned, still feeling a little listless, and said dazedly, "I seemed to be dreaming. I usually sleep very soundly when I dream."
“…What dream?” asked Gojo Satoru.
"Sunshine, sea, iceberg..." I looked up and thought, "It's a very large iceberg, it melts very quickly, and the sea level will rise in a short time."
It's really strange that I'm still the kind of person who worries about the greenhouse effect and global warming... When I was angry, I just wanted the island to be flooded.
But this kind of dream is considered peaceful.
When I was in school, I always dreamed of being chased by a two-meter-tall green Tyrannosaurus Rex.
It walked with heavy steps at the intersection in the deserted neighborhood, staring at me. Every time I fell behind a little, it lowered its head and opened its bloody mouth to bite my butt.
I was so nervous that I ran forward desperately. At the same time, my running posture looked ridiculous. Every time I woke up from the dream and returned to reality, I would laugh at myself.
“Hey.” Gojo Satoru waved his hand. “I thought it was another dream where I wrapped myself up like a silkworm and then fell off the bed.”
.......I am so annoyed by this guy. It is an old calendar from so long ago. What is he trying to do by digging it out? He has ulterior motives.
I reached out my hand as if nothing had happened, and while he wasn't paying attention, I pinched his cheek hard.
"Ouch~" Gojo Satoru rubbed his red cheeks and said aggrievedly, "Kiri-chan, it hurts."
"It's so noisy." I blocked my ears, pretended not to see him and acted pitiful, and said loudly, "Jie, why did you put this noise maker in here? If you think Panxing Sect is too quiet and boring, you can go count ants under the big tree."
Xia Yujie: "........ Kiri-chan, I didn't let him in. He insisted on coming in."
"Then can't you stop it?"
"Do you think you can stop it?"
I, I, okay, I’m in the wrong.
"So what are you doing here today?" I looked at him warily and said, "I've already told you that I won't go to those messy birthday celebrations."
"No." Gojo Satoru blinked, put his hands in front of his legs, and sat like a cat. "Those plans have been cancelled."
"But everyone knows that today is your birthday, and they've all sent you presents. You can't just refuse them, right?"
"Wu-chan." He said excitedly, "Let's exchange gifts. Didn't you say you prepared a birthday present for me? I also prepared one for you~"
I:"........."

Gojo Satoru did bring some gifts, but he brought them from the Prison Gate, so when he poured them out, they came out all at once.
I don't know if it was intentional or accidental, but one of them fell and hit me on the head. I scolded it for laughing.
The necklace that Glass gave me was in the shape of a snowflake. The silver diamonds sparkled under the light, which matched the snowy scene today.
I couldn't help but think of what she said that day: "Beautiful snowflakes, I recognized them at first sight." Could this be what she meant?
Principal Ye Moth's was a felt sandbag specially made to look like Gojo Satoru, which looked very easy to beat.
Nanami gave me a fountain pen, which is very smooth to use and is probably very useful for signing or drawing. More importantly, it looks quite decent when placed in the chest pocket, pretending to be an elite.
It seems that Yuji has been fascinated by woodworking recently. Together with Panda and Maki, he made a...super-large swing? The wooden pillars were specially engraved with the words "Happy Birthday, Miss Gojo".
No wonder Gojo Satoru had to be brought here by the prison gate. It would have been too strange if he had been carried here on the subway.
"They also specifically reminded us to firmly plant it in the ground to lay a solid foundation, otherwise it will fly out~" Gojo Satoru said happily.
Me: “.........” I was so touched, but at the same time, I felt a little weird.
The gift from Wild Rose was a pink miniskirt that matched her fashion sense very well, and the gift from Dog Roll... was a blue pleated skirt that matched his fashion sense very well.
What Otsutsuki gave me was a snack jar. I didn't have much contact with him, so he probably bought it based on his impression of Gojo Satoru. There were a lot of desserts in it, but I have to say, it tasted really good.
Fushiguro Megumi gave me a pair of specially made women's sunglasses, with white rims and pure black lenses, which can completely cover my vision. Did she notice that I was wearing an eye mask before, so she thought of giving me this?
There were small words written on the gift, which read: From Megumi Fushiguro and my sister.
It's Tsu Miki...
In addition to this, even Fushiguro Shigeuchi sent something over, although I have absolutely no idea what the point of sending this was.
"A bunch of horse racing tickets." I pointed at it, puzzled. "Why did he give me these? And they are all expired."
Is he expecting me to travel through time and space to help him fulfill his promise?
Putting down the betting ticket, I took a deep breath and said, "Thank you all for me."
"Okay, okay." Gojo Satoru swept the betting tickets away and said loudly, "Now it's my turn to give the gift."
"Wu, let me go first." Xia Youjie stopped him first.
"Hey, little eyes, what's there to argue about?" "If you think there's nothing to argue about, then I'll go first."
I:"........."
...So childish, really so childish...You are indeed my best friend.
