Reborn I don't need a heroine

Wang Heng didn't care about Shen Yexi's abnormality. After all, in his opinion, this assistant's performance is already very good. At most, he just occasionally thinks a little too much. Although he doesn't know what this guy is thinking about, as long as he abides by the requirements of the post and completes the work seriously, nothing else is fine. relation.

It's just that Shen Yexi doesn't seem to have any particularly good ideas on the issue of girls' coming-of-age gifts.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, I haven't given gifts to girls much..."

Hearing what the assistant said, Wang Heng was slightly surprised: "Have you never given a girl a gift? Have you never been in a relationship?"

Shen Yexi: "Yes, I have never been in love."

Wang Heng: "You're already thirty, haven't you talked yet?"

Shen Yexi was a little helpless: "Mr. Wang, don't worry about it... And I really think that career is more important than love."

"I see."

So Wang Heng understood that he would not get any useful advice from Assistant Shen. But fortunately, he also had some ideas, and he could think on his own, so it wasn't a big problem.

Even if the gift itself is not very brilliant, at least the process of giving the gift is sincere, and that should be enough.

The two sat down separately and ate the takeaway box lunch.

After eating, Wang Heng threw the lunch box into the trash can and continued to write code. And Shen Yexi threw his own lunch box into the same trash can, then lifted the trash bag, took it outside and threw it away.

Because the only resident employee in the office is himself, Shen Yexi did not hire cleaning staff.

When he came back after throwing out the garbage, he saw that Wang Heng was still writing code.

An hour later, Shen Yexi took a glass of water and saw that Boss Wang was still writing.

After ten o'clock in the evening, Wang Heng finally stretched his waist: "It's done, let's call it a day and go home."

The corners of Shen Yexi's mouth twitched, and he couldn't hold back his complaints—this is your company, boss, after working for so long and then saying 'let's go', why don't you have the consciousness to be a capitalist at all?

This morning, after Ye Xun opened his eyes, he lay on the bed for a long time.

Staring at the ceiling, the girl suddenly remembered that today seems to be her birthday... But her family is not around, and the person she likes is not around, which makes her feel quite bored.

Ye Xun covered his face with the quilt, and said to himself, "What's the point of those rituals?"

That's right, the so-called birthday is nothing more than a ceremony after all. Time flows smoothly. What is the essential difference between the day before the age of 18 and the day after? Why is it worth remembering and celebrating?

Suddenly, the text message alert on the phone rang.

Ye Xun picked up his phone and took a look. It was a text message from his father:

[Happy eighteenth birthday, my little princess! I'm sorry that Dad can't fly to you on such an important day to celebrate the bar mitzvah with you, but the cake I ordered should arrive soon. Also, if Xiao Xun wants anything, he can tell his father. It's the third year of high school, and the academic pressure will definitely increase. It's a pity that my father can't help you. All I can say is, come on Xiaoxun! 】

The girl put down the phone, lay down for a while, and then heard the doorbell.

She put on her sportswear, walked over, and opened the door for them. After waiting for less than a minute, someone delivered the exquisite gift box to the girl.

"Hi, I'm Angrus's courier, this is yours... just sign here, thank you."

The delivery man who finished his work turned and left.

Ye Xun closed the door, put the gift box on the coffee table, and opened it.

Inside is a round birthday cake, light blue color and rainbow-like chocolate decoration, very beautiful and quite girly.

"But I don't eat cream..." Ye Xun sighed, "And such a big cake, I can't finish it."

After a moment of melancholy, the girl suddenly thought of an idea. With the excuse of 'helping eat cake', is it possible to call Wang Heng over and leave his footprints on his coming-of-age birthday?

But soon she remembered that she had heard from Han Yixuan not long ago that Wang Heng would be very busy this winter vacation. First, there are things in the company, and then I have to go back to my hometown for the New Year. It may be difficult to find free time, right?

However, if you don't ask, how do you know if he is free today?

Just when Ye Xun was hesitating, the Q notification sounded from the mobile phone in the pocket of the sports pants.

Ye Xun took out his mobile phone, and saw the reminder of Q mailbox. This is a new email from... Wang Heng.

The girl suddenly perked up.

Why did Wang Heng send an email today? Is it because he knows his birthday today, so he also prepared a birthday present? No, considering it was an email, it should only be a birthday congratulations or something...but that's okay, even without presents, the fact that he remembered his birthday was already great.

She ran back to the bedroom, turned on the computer, and clicked on the new email in the mailbox.

Then, she saw a bunch of math problems.

"What is this thing? The birthday gift should not be an electronic test paper!"

The girl pressed her temples, feeling a faint headache.

Could it be that Wang Heng doesn't know his own birthday, and this email is just something like winter vacation homework?

"But it's not right, there are too few topics, and it can be finished in less than two hours..."

Such a small topic, and it doesn't seem to be very difficult, is too childish for a girl who is in the top five of the class in mathematics at the end of the term.

Could it be that there is more meaning in it?

Ye Xun stared at the questions, read them twice, and suddenly realized a problem.

None of these math problems is a geometry proof problem, and all the answers to the questions should be letters or numbers. So is there anything special implied in the answer to the question?

As it happens, the first question is about collection, which is a fairly simple fill-in-the-blank question.

Ye Xun glanced at it, thought for a while, and found that the answer was two numbers - 1 and 8.

Does this have something to do with my eighteenth birthday?

Thinking so, the girl filled in the two numbers 1 and 8. Immediately afterwards, a square pattern popped up in the email attachment. No need to think about it, just a glance is enough to understand that the pattern is part of a certain map.

"Oh my god, what is this..." Ye Xun was shocked, "It turned out to be a puzzle game!"

The girl's eyes lit up, she found a paper and pen for calculations, and did the rest of the questions on the computer. Next, the questions became more and more difficult, but she became more and more serious. After all, as more and more questions are solved and the map becomes more complete, the answer to the mystery is getting closer.

What kind of information will you get when you unlock them all? What surprises will the whole picture of the map reveal?

Ye Xun's curiosity has been completely aroused.

As for the piece of birthday cake my father gave me, I was still lying lonely on the coffee table. After all, even without these puzzles, the girl didn't really want to eat.
