A Doll Made By One’S Own Hands—— Chapter 41

Chapter 41 Chapter 41 [VIP]

As the lunch break approached, several colleagues planned to go downstairs to eat in small groups, chatting and laughing. One of the girls seemed to realize something. She stopped on the way out and shouted to the young man who was staying at his desk:

“Chi Qing, a new Hong Kong-style tea restaurant has opened downstairs. Do you want to come with us?”

After hearing this, Chi Qing looked up and was about to close the computer at hand when he heard another colleague laughing, “It’s not like you don’t know that Chi Qing only eats the light meals made by Xian Yu for him. He will definitely not be used to eating in restaurants that obviously don’t suit his taste.”

“That’s right.”

Chi Qing’s beautiful eyebrows twisted slightly.

Here we go again.

This kind of inconspicuousness reveals extremely subtle malice.

Nearly half a month has passed since the last team building. Chi Qing thought at first that he was too sensitive, but gradually he realized that the group of people in front of him were ostracizing him in disguise – for example, the other party was gradually using this social method to exclude Chi Qing from their life circle.

Forget it… I won’t stay here long after my internship ends anyway.

But what was really hard to predict was that Chi Qing was so busy that he barely had time to drink water. Moreover, the group of people secretly gave Chi Qing more dirty work, so it was common for him to get off work in the early morning several times.

This time, as usual, they sent a bunch of documents that needed to be approved to Chi Qing, and warned with a smile: “These data must be verified before twelve o’clock today.”

All the files in the compressed package were not sorted and were so disorganized that it was hard to see. Chi Qing had already wasted some time by sorting them one by one from the beginning.

Chi Qing estimated that he might work overtime until late today, so he took the time to send a message to Chi Xianyu, asking him to go to bed early today and not sit on the sofa in the living room and wait for him until midnight.

The weak light of the screen reflected on the young man’s fair face. The corners of his mouth were raised. As he was relaxing and soothing, his ears were keenly aware of the sound of footsteps coming from behind. Before Chi Qing turned his head to see who it was, the other party had already taken the lead and asked, “Xianyu… why haven’t you been here lately…”

When Chi Qing raised his head, he saw Tan Jin’s inexplicably smiling face. He subconsciously turned the black screen of his phone upside down on the table, and then casually found a reason to reply perfunctorily.

Tan Jin didn’t know whether he believed it or not, but the smile on his face was even more meaningful.

He could see that Chi Qing was tense and uncomfortable. After a few minutes, Tan Jin not only showed no intention of leaving, but sat down at the nearest workstation next to Chi Qing. The smile on his face seemed to still be the attitude of a senior who took good care of the newcomer at the beginning. “It seems that there are really many tasks in various departments recently. If you are really overwhelmed, do you need my help…”

Chi Qing decisively refused without any hesitation and thought, his tone was extremely unnatural and stiff, and there was a guard in his eyebrows that was not completely hidden.

Tan Jin couldn’t hold back his laughter. When he saw Chi Qing looking at him again, he said bluntly: “You don’t think that the weird atmosphere in the company now is because of something I did or said, do you?”

Chi Qing: “Isn’t it?”

In the end, Tan Jin snorted and once again confirmed that Chi Qing did not need any help, Shi Shiran left with a few words of confidentiality, leaving Chi Qing alone with a solemn expression. Tan Jin’s words kept echoing in his ears: “I didn’t do anything.”

After returning home, Chi Qing couldn’t help but tell Chi Xianyu about her grievances these days. She vented all the inexplicable rejections by her colleagues to each other, “It’s become very strange since that weekend. I obviously didn’t do anything, but I can feel that they just hate me.”

Chi Xianyu touched the young man’s cheek and tried all kinds of comforting words to coax Chi Qing back to sleep. Finally, after Chi Qing calmed down a little, she slowly spoke, “But Ah Qing, this kind of work intensity and working atmosphere is not a good one. Have you ever thought about-”

Chi Xianyu was interrupted by the young man before he could finish his words. He looked particularly stubborn: “But if I resign like this, it will look like it’s my problem, and… our anniversary is coming soon. I haven’t figured out how to arrange it yet, so don’t worry about unnecessary things like this.”

After hearing this, Chi Xianyu smiled and said nothing, her eyelashes as dark as crow feathers drooped slightly, obscure.

In the next few days, Chi Qing tried to transfer the negative emotions caused by work to preparing for the anniversary. Chi Xianyu originally planned to celebrate outside, but Chi Qing rejected it, saying that there was no solemn sense of ceremony and accomplishment in doing so, so Chi Xianyu had to let him go.

Chi Qing purchased a large number of items online, including all kinds of fresh dishes and gorgeous flowers. Chi Qing even made the tablecloths for the tabletops by himself.

This kind of casual spending did relieve Chi Qing’s pressure caused by work to a large extent, but this way of decompressing did not last long before it was interrupted by a sudden incident——

Chi Qing’s department originally had a meeting to be held two days later. Later, the person in charge moved the meeting to the next day due to client reasons, but everyone kept it secret and did not notify Chi Qing. As a result, Chi Qing, who was supposed to be responsible for recording the meeting text, was absent. This was a complete and major mistake.

The boss specially called him into the office, but did not blame or abuse him. Instead, he slowly prepared a cup of tea for Chi Qing.

Chi Qing was very nervous and could only hold the cup of hot tea in the palm of his hand without taking a sip. When his boss looked ready to talk, Chi Qing hurriedly admitted his mistake, “I didn’t check with other colleagues in advance about the change of meeting time…”

The boss smiled and made a downward gesture, signaling him to stop, “Actually, I know the ins and outs of this matter… In fact, you didn’t do anything wrong…”

As soon as he said these words, Chi Qing suddenly felt an uncomfortable feeling similar to grievance, but before he could say anything, he was shocked by the other person’s next words.

“But Xiaochi, have you ever thought that you are not suitable for the workplace atmosphere of our company…”

It was estimated that nearly a quarter of an hour later, Chi Qing walked out of the office with red eyes. He was in a daze for two seconds and then walked to his workstation to pack his things.

I heard the boss’s earnest words: “Sometimes integrating into society is an art and ability. If you obviously can’t integrate into the company’s workplace atmosphere, to a certain extent, this is your problem…”

Just as Chi Qing began to reflect, the phone in his pocket vibrated. It was a message from Chi Xianyu, asking him if he could go home early tonight.

Chi Qing told him about his early dismissal. Chi Xianyu seemed to pause for a few seconds, and the next moment he called. Anyway, things were almost packed, and Chi Qing left without saying hello to his colleagues.

When the young man passed by the tea room, the chatter inside stopped for a moment, and only when he passed by did the noisy whispers start again.

“Oh my god, he’s gone now. I really can’t stand this face at all. I really don’t understand why Xianyu likes such a thing.”

“The most important thing is, you know that being asked to take care of such a fool by Xianyu all the time, every time you think about it, even eating will make you feel unappetizing.”

“That is to say, I wasn’t going to take him seriously at first, but when I thought that Xianyu spoke to me so nicely, just to ask me to help him more, I instantly lost all good mood… And today is actually their anniversary, which disgusts me to death. How can they be compatible? But now this idiot who only takes advantage of Xianyu is finally gone.”

While the few people were talking, they were completely unaware of the white clothes passing by in the blind corner behind the door.

—

Chi Qing had not hung up the call when she got out of the office elevator.

He was carrying a slightly bulky computer bag and other items in his right hand. As he was walking out, he was suddenly chased from behind.The visitor was panting, and his pale cheeks seemed to be blushing from running all the way.

Chi Qing narrowed his eyes and recognized her.

The visitor was an intern from another department of the company, but he seemed to be an alumnus of the same class as Chi Qing.

He told Chi Xianyu in the headset to wait a moment, but did not hang up the phone. He looked at the other party with a slightly confused look, “Excuse me…is there something wrong?”

The female intern glanced at Chi Qing with an uneasy look on her face, “Actually, I’ve heard of you in school… I’ve known about your relationship with Chi Xianyu since you first joined the company as an intern…”

Upon hearing this, Chi Qing’s brows instantly furrowed, and his face tightened in an extremely defensive posture. He didn’t want to hear any more disgusting or insulting words, so he retorted decisively with an impatient tone: “So?”

The intern was stunned by his reaction, and his reply became aggrieved, “Actually, I think… you are not at all like what the people in the company said. In fact, you are quite a match. It can be said that you are a match made in heaven…”

After she finished speaking, her face was extremely shy and turned red. She ran away before Chi Qing could react, leaving Chi Qing alone in a daze. After two seconds, Chi Qing seemed to have come to his senses and asked Chi Xianyu, “Did you hear that?”

Chi Xianyu’s jade-like voice came from far and near, “I heard it, Ah Qing.”

The voice seemed to come from in front of him. Chi Qing looked up in a daze and suddenly found that Chi Xianyu, who was supposed to be in the headset, had appeared in front of him at some point, smiling at him and saying that she had come to pick him up from get off work.

All kinds of surprises came one after another, which made Chi Qing extremely happy.He almost jumped on Chi Xianyu and hugged her. He didn’t feel depressed about being fired at all on the way home.

There are a lot of anniversary decorations piled up at home. Chi Qing happily unpacks the packages one by one, like a little rabbit stuffing carrots one after another into his arms. It’s so cute.

Then he began to decorate the home. He first put on a brand new white tablecloth, woke up the beautiful flower buds, and placed them in the vase in the center of the table. He placed candles, dinner plates, drinks, etc….

Chi Xianyu was so used to doting on Chi Qing that she couldn’t bear to see the young man do anything to serve others. When he was about to offer his help, Chi Qing immediately pushed him into the room, “Today is an anniversary that we only have once, and you gave me so many surprises. I must give you a decent surprise!”

After finishing speaking, he winked at Chi Xianyu. He showed rare sunshine and vitality, completely different from the young man who seemed depressed and unhappy a year ago.

Chi Xianyu lowered his head and smiled, then closed the door with special respect.

What kind of surprises will there be?

The things humans prepare should be pretty much the same.

The hand-made candlelight dinner, the exquisitely decorated beautiful flowers, the fleeting fireworks scenery…

But as long as it was made for him by Chi Qing himself, even the most mundane things would become of extraordinary significance.

After being busy for nearly a whole night, Chi Qingcai hurriedly decorated everything perfectly at around eleven o’clock. Even the food and delicacies he prepared seemed particularly delicious. He poured wine for Chi Xianyu with a smile and asked him to take a seat quickly.

Time passed bit by bit, and the dinner ended briefly before Chi Qing served his highlight – the cake he made by himself.

It turned out that Chi Qing remembered that it was his birthday after twelve o’clock.

The cake was piled full of cream and various fruits, and it looked extremely sweet and delicious. Even Chi Xianyu seemed to smell the unique aroma of cake at this moment.

His dark eyes were rarely frozen, and his gaze was as sticky as nails on the birthday candle that wished him a happy birthday. Two seconds later, he showed a charming smile: “Is this… prepared for me?”

Chi Qing smiled so much that she kissed his lips, picked up the lighter and lit the candle, “Of course! Close your eyes quickly! Make a wish!”

The candle burned and made a clattering sound.

After a minute, Chi Xianyu opened his eyes with satisfaction. The young man in front of him was staring at him with bright eyes, strange colors flashing in his eyes, “Are you happy?”

Chi Xianyu lowered his head and glanced at everything in front of him. An unparalleled sense of satisfaction seemed to surge out of his heart, and circulated to his limbs like warm blood.

It’s really strange, he clearly doesn’t have these organs.

“Are you happy?” Seeing that he didn’t answer her question, Chi Qing took the trouble to ask Chi Xianyu again, but Chi Qing turned into asking and answering her own questions, “Actually, I am very happy today. After all, this is the first time I heard that we were made for each other… But the protagonist today is you, and it will be your birthday after the hour. I just want to know if you are satisfied with everything I have carefully prepared, and if you feel happy…”

“Happy.” Chi Xianyu’s pale thin lips opened and closed, speaking concisely and concisely.

After Chi Qing heard this, he was startled for a moment. After he realized it, his bright and clear eyes curled up, and his face was filled with indescribable joy. “As long as you are happy, there will be something that will make you happier later. Before everything happens, I have one thing to verify with you -”

The young man’s eyelids were slightly drooped, and his light and thick eyelashes restrained his expression. From Chi Xianyu’s point of view, Chi Qing’s condition seemed to be particularly low, and his voice was lifeless as he described what he heard before leaving today.

He was originally going to pick up the things that had been dropped at the work station, and had no intention of eavesdropping, but when Chi Qing keenly caught Chi Xianyu’s words between the lines, he couldn’t walk anymore.

“You should know that the people in the company like you very much, and they will obey your requests; but they hate me very much, especially after knowing my relationship with you. Every request and request you make will double their disgust, so they will gradually exclude me like this. In the end, there are only two results – voluntary resignation or forced dismissal.”

Chi Qing’s shoulders shook slightly, as if he was about to cry because he couldn’t bear the pain, “This was your original purpose, wasn’t it?”

The young man’s voice finally became too low to be heard, “Did you really do this on purpose?”

The air around him stagnated and solidified at this moment, and the oxygen he breathed began to become scarce and thin.

After a pause of perhaps a few seconds, Chi Xianyu’s low laughter sounded in the dead silence of the space, with a faint voice, “Don’t you know everything?”

As he spoke, he stretched out his fingers to fiddle with the iron chain in his hand and shook it, making a crisp metal collision sound.

This should have been the young man who saw the right moment and locked it while Chi Xianyu closed her eyes and blew out the candle.

However, even though Chi Xianyu was trapped and locked in the seat, he was not at all depressed. He raised the corner of his mouth and even looked a little excited. His eyes fell on Chi Qing’s face for at least a cup of tea, and then he slowly said: “But Ah Qing, you were really powerful this time. In the end, you almost completely deceived me.”

He covered his face with his left hand and couldn’t help but let out a low chuckle, “But you have to know that you have always been very cunning, so from the beginning I have been thinking about when – Ah Qing, you will show your weakness.”

Chi Xianyu stood up slowly and ran his fingers over the brand new tablecloth, bright flowers, etc. on the table – these were all carefully prepared by the young man for him. In the end, he could not continue forward because of the length of the silver chain, and could only stop at an arm’s length away from Chi Qing.

But he still seemed to be at ease, and his eyes were as dark as the inspection, stopping at the tight and bulging waistband of Chi Qing’s right hand, which was obviously the outline of a control knife. Chi Xianyu said pointedly: “So I am going to use the same method as before to deal with such a festival worthy of celebration and joy–”

Me?

“Shut up!” Chi Qing took out the sharp knife he always kept in his trouser pocket and pointed it at it.

His originally handsome facial features looked a bit ferocious due to distortion and resentment, and his tone was filled with indescribable disgust, “Otherwise… do you think I will really be kind enough to prepare for you? Based on what you have done to me, do you really expect me to sincerely prepare for you? This is simply ridiculous -”

Perhaps it was some harsh words in it that made Chi Xianyu feel a little uneasy, and his joking demeanor restrained and became cold.

His beautiful and penetrating fingertips tapped on the table, as if urging the other party to take action, staring directly at the gleaming blade, “In that case, then come on, take action, just like last time -”

Chi Xianyu’s inorganic eyes flashed with excitement, and two clusters of flames seemed to be burning in the bright pupils, and her tone became soft and strange, “But Ah Qing, you also know that this has no effect on me at all…”

As he spoke, he tempted Chi Qing to come closer to him. He stretched out his hand to lift the sharp-edged wrist that Chi Qing was holding tightly and put it against his chest. “If you don’t believe it, you can try it one last time -” he paused for a second, then continued to speak with a slight hint of malice in the next second, “But the worst result may be that you repeatedly beg me to appear again like last time, but I can’t guarantee whether I will agree to it next time -”

“Idiot.” Chi Qing said suddenly.

Chi Xianyu was also stunned, and suddenly he saw Chi Qing take a few steps back, not too far but not too close, just the distance and position that Chi Xianyu could not reach anyway.

Immediately, he saw the handsome young man smiling brightly at him, his red lips raised into a smug smile, “Who said I was going to do this?”

After finishing speaking, before Chi Xianyu could react and realized the problem, Chi Qing adjusted the direction of the sharp knife in his hand, pointed it at him decisively and sharply, and stabbed him viciously.

“Pfft——”

When the sharp blade pierces the body, the sound it makes is like cutting a watermelon. After the dull sound, the moist, hot and bright red flesh bursts open.

The bright red blood splashed onto Chi Xianyu’s handsome, blank face. It was as if his slow, aging instrument had not responded. It was not until Chi Qing fell to the ground with a loud thud that he finally came to his senses, and frantically began to tug at the chain that imprisoned him.

But no matter how hard he pulled, the chain remained intact, trapping him in a position where he could barely touch Chi Qing.

He made a huge noise, making Chi Qing, who fell to the ground, try to open his eyes to see the fruits of victory with his own eyes.

“Look, I just said…I can’t possibly lose to you.” After Chi Qing uttered these words with difficulty, another large mouthful of scarlet blood surged out of his throat, causing him to cough and turning most of his fair cheeks red.

I want you to have it and then lose it; to taste the sweetness and then the pain.

The sweetness you had before will become poison in the future, causing you to cycle over and over again, unable to get what you want.

Xianyu.

Chi Qing saw Chi Xianyu’s collapsed expression for the first time in his hazy vision. He wanted to open his mouth to say something more, but he could only utter a few inaudible syllables with trembling lips, “Xianyu…”

This is my biggest punishment for you.
