How do you know when you were born?

If someone suddenly raises such a question, then many people will probably sneer at it, thinking that this person and this problem are all wrong.

But if this person with problems insists and must get an answer, then the only thing that can answer him is probably silence.

Human memory does not begin at the moment of birth.

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

However, Gongzi Yan thought that he had this kind of self-awareness every year.

If a clock is conscious, it will at least know from which second it starts to rotate.

Therefore, there is no need to continue to hide it. Gongzi Yan himself doesn’t mind, Qi Youfeng doesn’t mind, and the others present will not comment randomly.

"I don't know when I was born, I don't remember."

Nian Nian's tone was a little confused.

"How do you know today is your birthday?"

"I..." Every Nian was speechless for a moment. 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, OK, no one will remember when they were born, it was just a date that others told me."

Qi Youfeng interrupted and glanced at Gongzi Yan with warning.

Young Master Yan shut up like a good person and shrugged indifferently. Since the person involved is so confused, he should not meddle in other people's business.

only……

Gongzi Yan carefully observed Nian's expression, a little panicked, a little confused, and more of a confused feeling lingering like a fog.

Could this "person" not know his true identity?

The joy of receiving the gift has been dispersed. I opened Qi Youfeng's gift every year, thanked him politely, and gently drew circles on the exquisite decorations with my fingertips.

He bowed his head every year and didn't know what he was thinking, but Gongzi Yan was once again strongly condemned.

This time, not only Qi Youfeng was constantly ignoring his eyes, but even Gu Yu and his bodyguards were frequently betting on strange looks, and they didn't understand why this person was so inhumane. They asked strange questions aggressively when the girl celebrated her birthday.

Young Master Yan sighed, and clasped his fists like those martial artists, both facing Nian Nian and Qi Youfeng.

"When we go out from here, I will invite Zimo and the others to make up for you a birthday party and have some fun."

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

Every year's attention is instantly diverted.

"I know someone who knows how to make pastry. Although the taste is still a little different and there are not many flavor options, it should be fine to make a simple butter birthday cake."

“Birthday cake?”

My eyes began to shine every year.

"Have you eaten?"

Shake your head every year.

"I don't know if I can eat this... Is there any cream cake made of flowers and plants?"

"Is vegetable cream? I want to ask about this, but it probably is a bit difficult!"

Qi Youfeng seriously thought about the feasibility of "flowers and plants make cream".

Every year I look forward to it. Although she has seen cream cakes in the game, she has never eaten them.

Sarah criticized this thing for being unhealthy. Alexander said that the source of the cream in the game is very strange, and she did not recommend that she try it. Dion, who is also an elf, said that the taste of this thing is not as good as the butter cake in reality, and the taste is very greasy.

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

I wonder if you guys of Christmas clown remember to prepare gifts for her? Did you bring them together?

Thinking of receiving another bunch of gifts in fifteen days, my mood improved a lot every year.

"How did you celebrate your birthday in previous years?"

Qi Youfeng seemed to have noticed the longing that was revealed in this moment of Nian Nian and asked softly.

“Is there any special food, or…habits or something.”

I thought about it every year and replied uncertainly: "Climbing trees...is it a special habit?"

"Climbing a tree? The one who climbs a tree?"

This special habit made Gongzi Yan confused. Gu Yu was mobilizing his rich knowledge reserves to try to interpret the significance of this special ceremony.

"It's just a tree climber." Niannian doubted his Chinese level and did he express his mistakes?

"Why do you need to climb trees? Is there any special significance?" Qi Youfeng asked.

"I don't know if this is a special meaning," Niannian scratched her cheek. "Nick planted a tree. He puts his birthday gift on the top of the tree every year and asked me to climb up and get it myself."

"Later, the others of the Christmas clown also followed suit," Nian Nian was a little depressed. "If you want to get the gift, go up and pick it yourself."

"But escape this year, there is no need to climb trees! Ouye!"

Every Nian suddenly felt that this strange cell in Guli was much more pleasing to the eye. In fact, the scenery of this air cell was quite good.

"Are you still afraid of climbing trees?"

Qi Youfeng asked back with a funny question. When they were still in the Qinling Mountains, the other brothers in the village called her little monkey more than once.

"You don't know," Nian Nian said with a bitter face. "Nik didn't know where he got the magical variety. Have you ever seen a tree that grew more than ten meters in the first year? This is the fourth year!! I went to see it before I left, and it is definitely fifty meters now!"

"…Fifty meters, how tall can this tree grow in the end? It grows into the sky?"

Everyone thought of an ancient fairy tale.

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

In fact, it is also a part of her contribution to the reason why this tree grows so tall.

She thought the tree was too grown, so she secretly cut it with no problem. The more she cut the tree, the faster the tree grew, the more she wanted to cut it.

As a result, Alexander couldn't stand it and told her that this tree actually only had such a abnormal growth rate during the rebirth period, but her behavior of cutting down trees infinitely extended its rebirth period.

I dug a deep hole for myself and decided to smash it and stuff it into the cracks in the wall every year. Anyway, it was Nick's fault.

"How can you see a rainbow without experiencing the wind and rain? This is what you mean by asking you to climb trees to pick gifts, right?"

Gu Yu guessed.

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

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

"Return gift?"

Every year, I raised my hand and took off a green leaf-like hairpin from the hair. There were three crystal clear tender leaves on it.

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

"Explain it?"

The few people present had given up guessing the deep meaning of the Nick, and at the same time they felt his influence on Nian very clearly.

"I think about it...what he said...it seems to start from the meaning of his birthday."

"Why do people have to celebrate their birthdays? For themselves, it is probably to celebrate their birth and to celebrate their own life, but living is not a pleasant thing, and it is often meaningless."

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

"So, the act of celebrating a birthday can be seen as a kind of self-comfort. It is better to comfort yourself to be alive than to die, or it can be seen as a kind of human arrogance, in order to make your existence unique."

"So, why would anyone be willing to celebrate your birthday and prepare a gift for you to celebrate? Abandon those ordinary people who can only measure meaning with money, and those ordinary people who follow the tradition dullly and return to the original person, why would he think 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, your existence makes me happy, thank you—"

"—Thank you for being born, so that I can meet you in your future life."
