Su Xiyan recalled Chen Shuo's abnormal state in the previous period, often locking himself in the room, mysterious.
Could he be making a birthday present with his own hands??
Su Xiyan hugged the carousel music box and went to Chen Shuo's room.
On the desk, Su Xiyan removed the draft paper and exercise books to see the drawings hidden underneath.
Instantly, her eyes were as if covered by a layer of fog.
On Chen Shuo's desk were exercise books and draft paper, and under them were all kinds of drawings. Each drawing sketched complicated drafts, from appearance to detailed patterns, to how the circuits were laid out, all with detailed annotations.
And there was more than one version.
In addition to the drawings, there were also various materials Chen Shuo had printed out.
Su Xiyan's fingertips were slightly cool. She who could face vampires without changing her expression was now trembling a little.
Picking up the materials, they were different versions of this carousel music box that Chen Shuo had found on major websites. There were also Chen Shuo's notes, writing down Su Xiyan's age, and deducing from the age Su Xiyan started elementary school what version of the music box she had back then.
That was not enough. Even for that era, there were so many manufacturers selling this music box, each selling different versions. Chen Shuo also deduced, based on the address where Su Xiyan went to elementary school, the sales regions for each brand at that time.
Su Xiyan was a typical rich beauty, with excellent family conditions since she was young. So Chen Shuo also made a price distinction, ticking some more expensive versions, before officially starting to replicate it.
The music inside were all the most popular nursery rhymes and dance music from more than a decade ago, now sounding full of nostalgia, some even taken by short video bloggers as rustic background music.
But with the gilding of memories, these music sounded quite good.
In the end, Chen Shuo determined this version.
It had been out of production for over a decade, impossible to buy. Chen Shuo could only go to the second-hand market, buying various parts, and replicating an exact 1:1 copy by hand.
Even the spinning knob switch at the bottom was still that old-fashioned button that would make a crisp "click" when pressed once, from over a decade ago.
Su Xiyan looked at the carousel music box in her hands that was exactly the same as the one in her memories, her vision actually became a little blurred.
"Chen Shuo... he really put his heart into this."
Only now did Su Xiyan understand how much effort Chen Shuo spent for her birthday this time!
This birthday present, who knows how much time and energy he spent before perfectly replicating it.
To Su Xiyan, this was not just a replicated birthday present, but the lost happiness of her childhood.
On Chen Shuo's bed, there was still a hanger he hadn't had time to put away properly.
The hanger had the logo of a certain brand.
This brand, wasn't it the one they went shopping together for couple outfits?
Could it be...
Su Xiyan stood up and opened Chen Shuo's closet door.
Inside were all the clothes Chen Shuo usually wore, and the school uniform, all neatly hung on the closet bar, without a hint of wrinkles.
His clothes were simple, enough to change into. So with one glance, Su Xiyan saw the men's couple outfit was not inside the closet.
Recalling when she saw Chen Shuo last night, he was dressed like an ordinary college student, wearing jeans and a hooded jacket, with the zipper pulled up high, unable to see what he was wearing inside.
Turns out he went to the banquet wearing the couple outfit.
Chen Shuo also attached great importance to Su Xiyan's birthday banquet! But he never showed it in his daily life, and even deliberately annoyed Su Xiyan.
Thinking of how Chen Shuo would deliberately annoy her on ordinary days, Su Xiyan couldn't help laughing out loud.
The smile only lingered on her exquisite face for a few seconds, then came the unstoppable red-rimmed eyes.
Su Xiyan was not the kind of girl who would cry over things, she tried hard to keep her chin up, not letting the little pearls in her eyes fall.
At this moment, she belatedly realized how serious the misunderstanding caused this time was!!
Although it was unintentional, she had hurt a heart that she would never have again!
Su Xiyan pressed the power button at the bottom of the music box, and the nostalgic music that was in her childhood memories echoed throughout the room.
Listening to the music from her childhood memories, Su Xiyan watched the slowly rotating music box, her eyes seemed to be rippling like spring water, yet also extremely determined!!
Chen Shuo, this time I hurt your heart.
The misunderstanding was caused by me. No matter what, I will explain it clearly!
The level of trust between us, I lowered it, but please believe me, I will make up for it again!
No matter how great the cost, it's worth it!
The next morning, the sky was still gloomy.
It is said that Su City is a city with only winter and summer, no spring or autumn. Summer is hot to explode, winter is cold to stomp feet.
Only in spring and autumn, it's like being compressed. There are only a few short days before flashing by.
On campus, misty rain. Between heaven and earth, everything was like being covered by a layer of mist.
Chen Shuo slept quite soundly last night, only waking up in the morning to his roommates' alarm clocks.
The first thing after getting up was to look at his phone.
Oh my! It was already past seven?!
Have to get up and make breakfast!
Chen Shuo sat up in bed with a leap, only to remember that he was now living in the dormitory, not in Haiyi Apartment, and didn't need to get up in the morning to make nutritious breakfast for himself and Su Xiyan.
He had only lived in Haiyi Apartment for a short period of time, how did these habits get ingrained into his bones?
Chen Shuo pulled the quilt and lay down again.
The dormitory door opened, and Lu Chen walked in holding breakfast.
"Brother Feng! Don't play dead, get up and eat!"
Zhu Fei brushed his teeth at the washbasin outside, looked at the breakfast on the table, still with foam in his mouth, and said unclearly: "Chenzi, next time can you buy more? Not enough to eat!"
Lu Chen said: "If not for Old Chen coming back, I wouldn't even bother going downstairs to buy breakfast. Just be content, okay? I'll just ask you, eat or not??"
Zhu Fei's round head kept nodding: "Eat eat eat!"
Lu Chen patted Chen Shuo's bed as usual: "Old Chen, get up for breakfast. Hot, eat while it's hot."
Chen Shuo said: "Is there the big meat bun from the cafeteria? If not, I won't eat!"
Lu Chen said: "Knowing you like it, of course there are, quite a few!"
Hearing there were big meat buns, Shen Xu who was still sleeping soundly also got up. From under the lifted quilt rolled out two tissue rolls.
Zhu Fei looked at the black eye circles hanging under Shen Xu's chin, shook his head and called out Shen Xu's nickname: "Brother Kidney Deficiency, ashes to ashes, dust to dust!"
The whole dormitory had the usual yet very pleasant atmosphere.
The way guys interact with each other is just so simple and crude.
When Chen Shuo suddenly appeared in the dormitory last night carrying his newly bought bags of daily necessities, everyone didn't ask what had happened. Guys can gossip when it's time to gossip, but also tacitly keep quiet when it's not right to ask.

I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!!

ey change clothes. Li Chuan contributed all his possessions, only to find that things were not as they seemed. Almost a year after joining, he hadn’t managed to get a single Daoist consort. Thinking he had been deceived, he was approached by a stunning senior fellow disciple who asked if he would like to form a spiritual bond. For those who don’t practice cultivation, they might not know what “forming a spiritual bond” is. Let me put it this way: A long-term relationship is called a “Daoist consort,” while a short-term relationship is known as “forming a spiritual bond.” From then on, Li Chuan discovered the true way to interact with the Yin-Yang Sect’s Daoist consorts. As long as he had enough spirit stones, he could form a spiritual bond with anyone, Whether it’s Senior Sisters, aunts, Daoist consorts of aunts, female elders, Daoist consorts of elders, or even the Daoist consort of the sect leader, anyone can form a spiritual bond as long as there are enough spirit stones.” I've already joined the Yin-Yang Sect, and you're telling me to focus on cultivation? Do you even know what the Yin-Yang Sect is all about?
