A Doll Made By One’S Own Hands—— Chapter 2

Chapter 2 Doll

When Chi Qing came to the door of the bar, his expression looked extremely hesitant.

His eyes scanned the name of the bar back and forth several times. When he finally determined that this was the place where Li Nan had sent him, he bravely walked in under the guidance of the waiter.

“Sir, we’re here.” The waiter guided him to the private room and left.

Chi Qing, who was left alone in the corridor, felt a little embarrassed. He rarely stepped into group life and was not able to handle social interactions with ease. People who observed his behavior could see the nature of his social anxiety at a glance.

In order to blend in with them, Chi Qing specially changed his clothes today. He tried his best to tidy himself up, at least not to leave a bad impression on Li Nan.

He took a deep breath and opened the door.

What Chi Qing felt before the hustle and bustle was the strong and pungent smell of smoke in the car. The sound of conversation followed closely and drifted into his eardrums, but he paused for a second, apparently noticing someone coming at the door.

“Why are you here?” Someone came over, his tone of surprise not hiding anything.

This boy looked familiar to Chi Qing because he had met him before, and he often followed Li Nan and chased after him.

Chi Qing was completely stunned. He originally thought that Li Nan was alone, or there were several familiar girls. Chi Qing did not expect that almost the entire class was there.

“Which one of you called him here?” The boy frowned and turned to the group of people behind him with dissatisfaction.

“It’s me.” Li Nan seemed to have just heard the voice. He glanced at the door, quickly stood up and said to the boy, “We are all classmates, why don’t we get together together?”

After speaking, he raised his beautiful white face and said in a clean and brisk voice to Chi Qing: “What are you doing standing at the door? Come in quickly.”

Ten minutes later.

Chi Qing was still sitting awkwardly on the corner of the sofa, trying to avoid too much contact with other people. When he first entered the door, he even regretted it for a moment. After receiving the news from Li Nan, he ran over happily without stopping.

But this thought was quickly dispelled. After all, he rarely had the opportunity to get in close contact with and watch Li Nan. Chi Qing suddenly felt that he was extremely greedy. He could just take a look, but he stared at it again and again with unsatisfied eyes.

The person involved didn’t notice how pitiful and obvious his look was, but after Li Nan, who was playing dice with the others, noticed, he smiled and pulled Chi Qing into the game.

But she was happy, but others didn’t necessarily welcome him in this way. The boy from before couldn’t help but ask her, “Nan Nan, when did your relationship with him become so good?”

Li Nan just laughed: “I’ve always been like this, haven’t I?”

The boy suddenly became speechless and did not refute, but just snorted in the direction of Chi Qing.He didn’t want to make Li Nanding unhappy, but he still had a fire in his heart, so he deliberately used sticks and sticks to make Chi Qing look bad in the middle of the game.

The game they played was very simple. The content was to roll a dice and guess the number. In the end, the loser was forced to answer a truthful question.

This game was supposed to be a game of probability, but under the malevolent guidance of the boy, everyone else seemed to realize that he was targeting Chi Qing. Based on the principle of who is close and who is far away, most people watched with eyes, nose, nose, and heart.

This man is also considered smart, and the first few questions were not blatantly direct, asking some innocuous little things.

But when Chi Qing lost again in the next round, even Li Nan was surprised, smiled and joked: “Chi Qing, why are you so unlucky in playing games?”

Chi Qing reluctantly smiled, first swallowed the wine on his hand, and then anxiously turned his eyes to the boy who was about to give the question.

In fact, he was extremely sensitive to other people’s emotions. Chi Qing could definitely feel whether the person coming had ulterior motives. The boy in front of him seemed to have bad intentions from the moment he entered the door.

Sure enough, the next moment, you heard him ask with a smile: “Chi Qing, what do your parents do?”

If this question were asked by others, it would definitely be a simple matter. However, almost everyone sitting around has a wealthy family background. It can be seen from the lavish spending and clothing when interacting with Li Nan on weekdays. Without exception, they are all big names.

The clothes Chi Qing wore were all bought cheaply online. The white shirt he put on today cost dozens of yuan, not even over a hundred yuan. Anyone with a discerning eye can probably tell that his background is not good, maybe a little worse than average.

In front of a group of classmates with affluent backgrounds, the malice and viciousness in being forced to mention his not-so-good family could not be more obvious.

Even Li Nan was aware of such blatant badness. She came to Chi Qing’s rescue just like she did during the last military training, “Forget it this time. Chi Qing has lost so many times, so don’t bully others too much.”

It was rare for a boy who always obeyed Li Nan not to follow his words. He glanced at Li Nan with a smile and said that she was not allowed to cheat. Then he continued to look at Chi Qing with that contemptuous look, “Why, is this question so shameful?”

Chi Qing finally glanced at the other party with clear eyes. Chi Qing actually didn’t think it was a big deal. After all, this kind of superficial malice only needs to go in one ear and out the other. Even Chi Qing didn’t think it was embarrassing.

If Li Nan hadn’t stood up for him just now, Chi Qing should have been able to answer decently and fluently, but now he felt a bit like riding a tiger, especially after the other party’s deliberately high tone attracted the attention of the audience. It was like a dazzling spotlight shining on Chi Qing’s face, which made him extremely dizzy.

“Actually, I——”

He wanted to say that he didn’t care, but when a strong and talkative boy came to his aid midway, what Chi Qing wanted to say came to an abrupt end.

“Tan Yu.” The boy who wanted to look at Chi Qing’s face almost gritted his teeth, but because the other person’s popularity and background were slightly more prominent than his, he had to endure the tone and said, “You are really willing to help others.”

Tan Yu ignored his slightly harsh words and just pushed the orange juice on the side to Chi Qing, “Don’t be nervous.”

Chi Qing took it: “Thank you.”

Tan Yu has a handsome face, a tall figure, and a talkative personality that makes him very popular among the crowd. On weekdays, when he and Li Nan stand together, they are a perfect match, like a golden boy and a beautiful girl.

Chi Qing actually envies Tan Yu. His appearance, temperament, conversational style, and personality all make Chi Qing particularly envious. In addition, Tan Yu’s social skills are really great. Even if Chi Qing doesn’t know how to talk, Tan Yu can still talk to him appropriately.

This mode of chatting made Chi Qing slowly let down his guard, talk to Yu Youzai and asked with a smile: “Actually, I have a question to ask you.”

He didn’t seem to find the question that was about to blurt out slightly offensive. He glanced at the girl who was chatting and laughing with others from the corner of his eye. “I almost never saw you around Li Nan before, but now I bump into you very frequently. What method did you use-”

Tan Yu suddenly felt that this word was used very inappropriately and impolitely, so he thought for a few seconds and said, “Maybe it’s more appropriate to call it ‘method’, which is why Li Nan values you so much now and seems to care about you a lot.”

He was talking to himself, seemingly not noticing that Chi Qing felt uncomfortable because of his words, and he talked eloquently: “You have to know, Xiaonan has always been arrogant, and she has been spoiled by being held in the palm of her hand since she was a child. In fact, there are many things that she doesn’t like the first time, and no matter how we get along with her later, she will look down on her.”

The other party’s voice was gentle and clear, coupled with that elegant face. Chi Qing did not think that what Tan Yu blurted out had any profound meaning. On the contrary, due to his long-term inferiority complex, he even thought that what the other party said made sense.

“So can I ask you for advice?” Tan Yu seemed to have a hint of sadness in his eyebrows, “At least let me learn how to please her.”

The boy’s soft and slow voice seemed to be as humble as dust, and his expression was quite dejected. To a certain degree of frustration, he seemed to be the same type of person as Chi Qing, making Chi Qing unknowingly regard him as a friend who could talk to him.

Chi Qing would not lie to his friends. His eyelids drooped slightly, and he shook his head with a jerky expression that was incompatible with this place. “I didn’t do anything.”

Someone nearby heard the conversation, glanced at Chi Qing and sneered coldly: “Fake arrogance.”

It’s not like I’ve never seen him licking a dog before.

Tan Yu was not angry after hearing his answer. He crossed his legs and rested his back lazily on the comfortable sofa, and did not continue talking to Chi Qing.

This silent gesture made Chi Qing lick his lips. He glanced at the other party cautiously, thinking later that Tan Yu might not be expecting his reply. Based on the principle that the other party was the first to talk to him in this situation, Chi Qing told him that he planned to give away a doll on Li Nan’s birthday.

“Doll?”

Tan Yu didn’t show any surprise, but he used to shout at the boy who was always targeting Chi Qing in a high-pitched voice. He smiled evilly and said, “Giving such a shabby thing, you don’t use this thing less often, right?”

This kind of dirty talk might make people laugh in normal times, but now Li Nan was here, and the sarcastic words that just came out of his mouth were clearly spoken.

She was instantly unhappy, not only because the other party insulted Chi Qing and the gift, but more precisely, because he insulted the eyes of Li Nan, who admired and was fascinated by it.

She didn’t care what happened to Chi Qing, but she did not allow anyone to slander him at will.

“What do you know?” She was very careless about occasion and propriety when she lost her temper, so she didn’t show any kindness at all. Li Nan’s eyes were long and sharp, and his lips opened and closed with great disdain: “Do you think what you sent is good? Not only is it not original, it is not even half as good as what Chi Qing sent.”

Li Nan said the last sentence with a smile on his face: “You can give away such things. If you don’t know the situation, you would almost think that your family is a poor household.”

The party broke up unhappy after all.

Li Nan did as he pleased, and after his good mood was completely shattered, he almost left the show without giving them a good look.

After she left, the others left soon after. Before she left, she stabbed the man a few times, “I usually see you being quite smart, but why did you act stupid today? Didn’t you see how ugly Nannan’s face looked when she left? It’s all because of you, a fool.”

Xu Wei’s cheeks turned white after being scolded. He didn’t dare to retort, and looked around blankly. His eyes inadvertently fixed on Chi Qing and Tan Yu not far away. It seemed that Tan Yu was going to send Chi Qing home.

Xu Wei suddenly felt resentful and dissatisfied. He didn’t understand that he had tried to please Tan Yu so many times, openly or secretly, but the other party had never shown any kindness to him.

Chi Qingcai had only been in contact with him for just two hours, and Tan Yu was already willing to send him home with kindness.

How abominable.

After Chi Qing returned to the rental house, he lowered his head and looked at the chat list on the phone screen again. After he was convinced that he had really become friends with Tan Yu, he still had an unreal feeling.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound from the closet. Chi Qing got up and walked over there. The sounds he heard became clearer, as if a living creature was moving its body.

Pushing the cabinet door open, a black kitten jumped out like a parabola. Chi Qing was not frightened at all. He picked up the three-month-old kitten in his arms and frowned: “Why are you hiding here?”

Chi Qing smoothed its fur and added a handful of cat food to its small bowl. When he was about to watch the kitten eating, he suddenly realized that there was something else that he had specially hidden in the closet. If the kitten had just picked it up and scratched it with its sharp claws, it would be more of a loss than the gain.

The young man suddenly hurried to the cabinet and carefully moved the doll out, fearing any bumps.

Chi Qing’s pious and careful eyes went back and forth over and over again, and after he couldn’t find any flaws on the doll like an obsessive-compulsive disorder, he breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, it was precisely because of it that Li Nan admired himself so much.

He would only take out the dolls when he was at home. If he was going out, Chi Qing would hide the things in the cupboard to avoid being unacceptable when the landlord made a sudden inspection of the room. This was how the last landlord kicked him out.

Chi Qing stretched out his fingers and touched the doll’s cold white cheek.

Even though it couldn’t speak, Chi Qing’s eyes showed a special kind of affection when he was focused, and he said to it in a rather apologetic tone: “I’ve wronged you.”
