The bright moon hangs high, and it is already the dead of night.

In the darkness, Gangji squirmed in the bed, confirming that the mother's footsteps had gone away, and the child immediately covered his head with the blanket, and stuffed himself into the blanket.

Slightly arching his body, pressing against the cracks in the corners, the boy lightly turned on the small lamp that had been prepared in advance.

Taking out the golden pocket watch borrowed from his father, staring at the rotating hands on the dial, the child forced his eyelids to watch the night, but his sleepy eyes were filled with anticipation for a certain moment to come.

The man who stays up late with the child knows that the child has been looking forward to this moment as early as a week ago. In the past few days, the child has been chanting the same thing in his mind.

It was stuffy in the quilt, and the child had to get out to get a breath after not staying for a long time, and this was repeated, but the child still enjoyed it.

Finally, all the pointers overlap neatly and point to 【Ⅻ】, which means that a new day has arrived.

The child in the bed cheered softly, "Happy birthday...Mr. XANXUS." In the cramped space, the boy could only pat the bed with the tip of his tail to show his congratulations.

XANXUS: "...Go to sleep after finishing talking, brat."

But the child who couldn't hear his voice became excited after saying this, and was so happy that he rolled on the bed, as if he couldn't sleep any more.

The boy silently asked himself for confirmation in his heart, [Aww, I must be the first person to send blessings to Mr. XANXUS, right! 】

"……childish."

Men don't know that sometimes there may be only a thin line between arrogance and arrogance.

He only knows that his birthday, like his name, bears the name of Double Ten.

On October [-]th, many people also firmly believed that the man was destined to become the tenth generation leader of Pengo Lie. It sounded so absurd and nonsense, but with the absolute strength of the man, it seemed to be an established fact.

A man never needs to pay attention to when his birthday comes, because there are countless people who remember it for him, prepare everything, take the opportunity to flatter or flatter, and present countless rare treasures in advance, countless people who usually do not have a sense of existence Garbage will also take advantage of the opportunity to swarm forward, especially last year, the date when men went to participate in the exchange meeting happened not long after their birthday, and there were a lot more annoying guys who appeared suddenly; Only a touch of disgust and disdain remained.

Because of this, XANXUS, who was supposed to be the protagonist of the party, often left everyone alone, not knowing where to sleep, and received those gifts that ordinary people thought were incomparably rare, and men had never looked at them, throwing them away, accumulating dust of ash.

But people are accustomed to men's arrogant attitude that does not give face. Every year, countless people swarm up like moths to a flame, trying to become the "lucky one" who is favored by men.

But those who really only have pure blessings in mind will get up in the middle of the night to make troubles, and I am afraid that only children are alone, especially after the man disappeared for nearly a year.

【I don’t know what kind of gift Mr. XANXUS likes...】

At present, the children who do not have the financial strength secretly prepare some handmade objects every year, but they never have the courage to send them out, they just store them in their own small cabinets.

"..."

The man really couldn't understand why the little ghost insisted on preparing gifts every year when he had no chance to give them away.But what makes the man even more incomprehensible is the incomprehensible emotion in his chest at this moment.

There are many people who offer men what they think are the most unique gifts, but no one has ever asked what kind of gifts men want.

But for XANXUS, who only longed for the position of Vongola in the past, those people might not be able to give it even if they asked.

But now, the man's desire to get Pengo Lie and avenge the old man seems not so strong.

Want a gift...?

The man never thought that one day he would think about such a boring question.

There is another problem, and the man can't help but pay attention to it.

In the past year, he seemed to have never heard of the child's own birthday—until the morning when the child woke up as usual four days later.

A woman with cool short hair and a soft complexion gave the child a soft kiss on the forehead, and said softly, "Happy birthday, Gang."

"Mom...?" The child who had just woken up was still a little confused, and couldn't fully understand the meaning of his mother's words at the first time.

【……Huh?Today is my birthday...? 】

XANXUS: "..."

[Strange, I obviously felt that every day passed slowly when I was waiting for Mr. XANXUS's birthday...how come it's mine so soon...]

A child who never remembers dates very much is confused every day except for certain days.

Nana Sawada smiled softly, "Does Gang have any birthday wishes and gifts this year? Mom has prepared a big cake."

"Well... the wish won't work if you say it..." the child said seriously.

Nana couldn't help laughing again, "Gang is still very stubborn in this regard."

But in fact, in his heart, the child has already made a serious and silent wish, just like the prayer he left on the mountainside a year ago.

[I hope Mr. XANXUS... can come back safely sooner. 】

"..." The silent man suddenly remembered that October [-], a year ago, was also the day he left... The man at this moment did not expect that in the next seven years, the child's promise, It's all the same wish.

In the cold and dark ice, the irregular heartbeat seemed to be infinitely amplified, filling the eardrums.

For the first time, XANXUS thought of the gift he wanted more than the position of Vongola leader, so he made a wish domineeringly without thinking.

"Little devil..."

"Next time...give yourself to me."
