A Doll Made By One’S Own Hands—— Chapter 6

Chapter 6 Doll

Chi Qing was stunned, and subconsciously stood up from the bed with his arms, his lips slightly parted, looking surprised.

If it had been someone else, he might have been so frightened that he pissed himself and even fell off the bed.

Only Chi Qing would treat the thing in front of him as a treasure. He came closer to examine it carefully and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he did not react violently and push the thing away, and there were no more unnecessary scars on its cheek.

But now there is another problem.

Although Chi Qing had a high fever all night last night, he still clearly remembered that he had put his things in the cabinet after sorting them out. Why did it suddenly appear next to his pillow?

Chi Qing held it closely in his arms and thought for a long time, then cursed: Could it be that he had a fever last night and got up in the middle of the night to toss about it again?

Besides, he couldn’t think of any other possibilities.

However, he didn’t have time to think too much. He had been sweating all night on his back last night, and all his clothes were soaked with sweat. The sticky smell stuck to his skin was very unpleasant. Maybe Chi Qing could smell the sweat all over his body when he lowered his head and smelled it carefully.

Chi Qing immediately went to take a hot bath. When he came out of the bathroom covered in sweat, he finally had the courage to face the room in ruins.The furniture in the room was covered with colorful paint and scratches, like wanton graffiti on the walls of a first-class art school. It took Chi Qing a long time to clean it up.

Chi Qing was so tired during the trip that he had a tendency to have a fever again. When he picked up last night’s bloody clothes from the basket and prepared to wash them, he took out a relatively simple but pure black plastic box from his pocket.

That was what Chi Qing brought back when he came out of the hospital yesterday. He left the kitten’s ashes there, but this was the only thing he brought back.

Fingertips gently flipped the buckle, and the box opened to reveal two smooth marble-like objects, pure black and shiny, which were a pair of astigmatic and out-of-focus eyes that only exist in living creatures.

For two days in a row, Chi Qing found it difficult to maintain a high level of concentration. Chi Qing could not concentrate and listen clearly to the questions repeated by the teacher in class. This made the professor very dissatisfied and pointedly mentioned discipline issues for several minutes in the middle of the lecture.

“I won’t mention names this time.” The professor took off the glasses on his nose and pinched his sore eyelids. “Next time I will deduct credits directly.”

Chi Qing was cast several times by his sharp and turbid eyes, which made Chi Qing feel on pins and needles. Even before the end of the class, when the teacher asked him to hand in group assignments next time, Chi Qing was in a confused mood.

When the students around him were all looking for members, Chi Qing suddenly realized that the professor had assigned a task. This kind of group assignment was the most hated team task, and the teacher had clearly stipulated in the class that there should not be less than two team members, otherwise the assignment score would be extremely low, which might affect the grade.

Chi Qing sat on the table and chair for a long time, during which no one came to him. The dead skin on his lips was torn off, and his mouth and tongue tasted a faint taste of rust.

His behavior all highlighted his sense of anxiety. Feeling helpless, Chi Qing’s eyes instinctively turned to Tan Yu, whom he considered a “friend”, hoping that the other party would take the initiative to ask questions.

Chi Qing’s eyes were eager and eager, but Tan Yu seemed to be talking to others and did not glance at Chi Qing. He was so indifferent that he turned a blind eye.

They were obviously so close a few days ago, but Chi Qing couldn’t say what he felt in his heart. It might not be complete disappointment, but he felt chilled.

At this moment, no matter how stupid Chi Qing is, he may realize one thing, that is, the other party may not really regard him as a friend.

“Chi Qing, what are you doing in a daze?” Li Nan walked to his desk at some point and tapped his fingers as white as green onions on the table. “Have you selected the members of your group? If you haven’t selected them yet, do you want to join our group?”

Her bright smile looked like she had saved him the last time, and she also showed a calm expression on her face, as if she didn’t think it was a huge charity.

Chi Qing’s eyelids drooped slightly, her cheeks were rosy, and she said slowly: “Thank you.”

Because the team assignment was due next week, time was very tight. Li Nan and the others divided up the content of the group project in a coffee shop near the school as soon as class was over.

They found a relatively remote and quiet corner in the store. After ordering coffee, they took out their laptops and started recording. Li Nan said: “Tan Yu will be responsible for the homework demonstration, I will be responsible for the PPT production, and the other team members will be responsible for collecting data these days.”

After Li Nan divided the scope of work, a group of people began to study and discuss the topic. After eliminating the complexity of various data on different topics, they finally selected a relatively satisfactory topic.

During the break, the conversation suddenly turned up Li Nan’s birthday ten days later. When talking about birthdays, it is inevitable to talk about gifts.They don’t care about surprises when giving gifts. Instead, they pay more attention to comparisons and compete with each other vigorously, as if they are afraid that others will surpass them.

It just so happened that the clerk came up with coffee at this time.

There is an event going on in the newly opened store. Anyone who buys the newly released coffee will be given stickers and Q-version small dolls. Chi Qing does not like bitter things like coffee, so he is not interested in the gifts.

But he was not interested, but some people were very interested. They picked up the small dolls on the edge of the tray and turned them around with their fingers.Xu Wei had angered Li Nan before and apologized to her for several days before finally coaxing her back to peace.

He returned to his usual self-satisfied expression, his smiling eyes lingering on the face of Chi Qing, who was withering away, and said to Li Nan unintentionally: “This thing is quite realistic.”

Li Nan lowered his head and took a sip of coffee, frowning slightly. He seemed to feel that the thing in his mouth was slightly bitter, but he had to swallow it due to etiquette.

Hearing Xu Wei’s words, Li Nan smiled mockingly and snorted proudly, “That’s because you haven’t seen anything better.”

Chi Qing vaguely sensed that the other person was bringing the topic to him without any trace. Every time the other person uttered a word from his mouth, he was so anxious that a thin layer of sweat appeared on his face.

Someone beside him deliberately fanned the flames, “Really? But I haven’t seen it yet. Good Chi Qing, can you let me see it?”

He called Chi Qing’s name very affectionately, as if the two of them were particularly good friends. Li Nan didn’t even mention Chi Qing’s name accurately, but almost everyone else pointed their fingers at Chi Qing.

Chi Qing took a sip of the bitter coffee and stared at the many eyes that were thrown at him. His Adam’s apple rolled and his nails were about to dig into his flesh: “Everything is at home.”

But when the other party heard this, he didn’t retreat but advanced instead. His face, which was accustomed to being domineering, showed a smile of success, as if he was waiting for Chi Qing’s words: “But I heard that you live not far from the school. Why don’t you drop by and have a look later?”

The muscle lines on Chi Qing’s cheeks were completely tensed, as stiff as meat that had been frozen hundreds of times in the refrigerator. He looked at Tan Yu for help, but Tan Yu was drinking coffee leisurely and seemed not to hear.

When the barbs on Chi Qing’s fingers were pulled out and bleeding, Tan Yu seemed to notice that Chi Qing’s face was livid, so Shi Shiran said, “Let’s wait for another day. I think Chi Qing’s complexion is not very good today.”

Then he tilted his head slightly and raised his chin towards Chi Qing: “Chi Qing, do you think so?”

Chi Qing nodded quickly.

But the other party still refused: “Are you really uncomfortable-”

The smile at the corner of his mouth widened, as if he had made a sharp upward stroke with a colorful brush, “Or can’t you see anything at all?”

Li Nan looked up from the phone screen: “What do you mean?”

At Xu Wei’s casual gesture, the boy raised his eyebrows and said, “I just heard that there was a thief in his neighborhood. It is said that many ‘things’ were broken and it was terrible.” He spoke in a scornful tone and did not take the matter as a big deal. “I heard that your family was also unlucky because of this. What the hell is that – oh, by the way, it seems that the doll you carefully made yourself also suffered.”

After he said this completely, the coffee in Chi Qing’s hand tipped over on the table, and the hot and humid liquid instantly flowed to Chi Qing’s sleeves, spreading into a large dark stain.

Chi Qing’s teeth tightened, and his chest felt extremely aggrieved. The next second he found that Li Nan was also looking at him. There was no other emotion on his innocent and lovely face, and he just asked: “Really?”

Chi Qing has never lied to others. He actually knew that he shouldn’t answer like this, but he still said: “It’s true.”

After hearing this, Li Nan did not blame him for improper custody, and seemed not to care much. However, from the corner of his eye, Tan Yu noticed that Li Nan’s smile towards Chi Qing began to become distant and cold.

He curled his lips subtly.

—

Chi Qing got up and went to the bathroom. While he was using hand sanitizer to clean the dirt on the hem of his clothes, the door was kicked open recklessly again.

Chi Qing saw Xu Wei and Jiang Yun through the clean and bright mirror in front of him. They were the boys who talked to Chi Qing under Xu Wei’s instruction not long ago. They had ordinary faces but strong tendons.

His chin was covered with a layer of stubby green stubble, which made his whole image look extremely rugged, looking more like a street gangster than a student.

Chi Qing’s eyes were sore, as if someone had poured a tube of powerful sulfuric acid into them, which completely corroded his eye sockets and made them extremely painful and blood-red.

“Why?” he asked.

Sometimes Chi Qing really felt that he was a worthless waste. Even if the instigator was standing in front of him, Chi Qing did not have the courage to punch him. Instead, he timidly asked the murderer why.

Chi Qing didn’t seem to notice that a tiny bit of hot liquid came out of his clammy palm, even if a small piece of flesh was dug out of his palm by his blunt nails.

“Why? Now you’re asking me why?” Xu Wei looked at him with disgust, as if he was deliberately pouring salt on someone’s wound. “Then I would like to ask you, why do you appear in front of Li Nan? Why do you have to make such a big show of making that damn thing to show our incompetence? Why do you always appear in front of me for no reason and irritate my eyes?”

Xu Wei’s ability to knock someone down was really good. He scrawled a few words and silenced Chi Qing, but it was obvious that the young man was so angry that he couldn’t speak.

“What’s wrong? Do you hate me very much? Let me tell you, this time I just want to make you uncomfortable, miserable, and uncomfortable. It’s best to remember not to provoke me again in this life.”

Chi Qing’s fingers clicked, and he thought, but why didn’t he let go of his cat in the end? Chi Qing didn’t even have time to name the kitten.

All the scenes were rolling in his mind, and his blood was surging. Chi Qing couldn’t help but rushed forward and wanted to punch Xu Wei. Why was he in so much pain, but the perpetrator was so happy?

But Chi Qing was too weak, and his body was pitifully frail. Jiang Yun pinned her against the cold wall with one hand. He did not know the importance of his move and had obvious malice. The back of Chi Qing’s head hit the solid wall due to the inertia of his unrestrained force. The pain made Chi Qing burst into tears instantly.

Chi Qing’s spine also hurt as if it was broken.

“You will have retribution.” Chi Qing spat out such words with tears in his eyes.

“Pah——”

Jiang Yun slapped Chi Qing’s head sideways with a sharp slap from his pocket, and crimson palm prints instantly appeared on his delicate cheeks, as if they were smeared with fine powder.

Chi Qing’s appearance was quite elegant, and his skin was porcelain white. His light eyelashes were wet with tears, and his tearful eyes were inexplicably a bit feminine and pitiful. Jiang Yun suddenly felt as if his heart had been scratched by light feathers.

As if his heart and soul had been taken away, he actually stretched out his fingers to twist Chi Qing’s chin, whistled extremely frivolously, and said nothing to Xu Wei: “Don’t say it, it doesn’t look like he’s crying like this.”

Jiang Yun moved closer obsessively, as if he wanted to keep his face closer. The fishy stench coming out of his mouth completely spat on Chi Qing’s face, “Hey, let me ask you something. Have you ever kissed anyone?”

He snickered lustfully. Chi Qing struggled desperately, trying to stretch his neck and duck to the side. The moment the other party was about to touch him, Xu Wei’s irritable voice came through: “Hey, don’t you find it disgusting? I’m leaving.”

Seeing that Xu Wei was really about to leave, Jiang Yun let go of Chi Qing’s hands. Before leaving, he did not forget to give a bad-hearted warning: “I’ll let you go this time.”

After they left, Chi Qing collapsed on the cold ground. His empty stomach felt as if a hand was pulling out from the inside. The spasms continued, and the nauseating feeling surged upwards.

Chi Qing couldn’t bear it any longer. He knelt on the ground and convulsed, vomiting out all the liquid he had swallowed. He was in a state of embarrassment.

—

Jiang Yun stayed out until very late before returning home. When the door was opened, the room was pitch dark, the lights were not turned on, and the large area of black shadow made the indoor atmosphere feel heavy and depressing.

There are still some cold dishes and pots and bowls left on the dining table in the hall. Fortunately, it is not a hot summer day and will not attract mosquitoes and flies.

“Why are you back so late? Don’t you want this home too?” His mother didn’t know whether he heard the noise or was not asleep at all. He keenly picked up the slightest sound and walked out of the room, cursing indifferently.

“Didn’t I come back?” Jiang Yun’s originally good mood was mostly eliminated by his scolding. He was so irritated that he was too lazy to deal with it. He walked straight into the bedroom and slammed the door with an earth-shattering bang, isolating the nagging voice outside.

Jiang Yun comes from a good family. It can be seen from the beautiful and trendy design of his bedroom and the rows of expensive figurines of different types on the bookshelf. He has been the only son who has been loved by his family since he was a child and has not suffered at all.

The computer uses the best version of the game, the graphics card is also the best version, and the sneakers are limited edition from big brands. This has developed his careless and impatient temperament.

The cursing outside didn’t stop, and in the middle of the call, his mother even answered a phone call. From the moment the call was made, the shouting started, and then gradually turned into crying: “You come back later and later every day, and you use overtime as an excuse every time. Don’t think that I don’t know what you are thinking. I have long seen that you are having an affair with the female secretary next to you. At this time, you may be fooling around with someone!”

She was crying and howling outside. Jiang Yun’s face was as dark as water, and he opened the game extremely irritably. In the end, he simply put on the headset to block out the endless complaining cries.

He turned up the volume of the game to the maximum level, almost bursting Jiang Yun’s eardrums, but even this could not stop his mother from crying in sorrow.

irritable.

Even though she had the earphones on, she still couldn’t block out her screaming and crazy voice. She really deserved it. She turned into such a resentful person. It was no wonder that her father was looking for a lover outside.

His mother’s nagging voice was getting closer and closer, so close that it seemed like it was coming from his own headset.Jiang Yun felt suspicious and strange. He took off the headset and suddenly found his mother still standing in the living room.

It was supposed to be a long distance away, so Jiang Yun shouldn’t have heard it so clearly.

Did he think too much?

When Jiang Yun was about to put on the headset again, this time he heard the sound of footsteps. Jiang Yun originally thought it was his mother who broke into his bedroom without knocking on the door. He suddenly became irritated and shouted: “Can you stop coming into my room all the time?”

However, when Jiang Yun glanced over, there was nothing.

Behind him were only rows of cartoon figures placed on the bookshelf. They were all bought by Jiang Yun from various channels at a large price. They had noses, eyes, and mouths, and they were completely complete versions of the villains.

At this moment, the neatly arranged figures were staring at him with rigid and fixed eyes. The figures that he usually loved seemed to be inexplicably oozing, especially when the pale lights overhead shone on their faces, making the already white faces even grayer.

As gray as a dead man’s face.

Jiang Yun just raised his eyebrows, and just when he looked away and was about to continue moving the mouse to play the game, there was a “pop–” and the sound of an object falling to the ground behind him.

The character on his game screen continued to move around, holding a gun and shooting impulsively and accurately at the enemy. He only glanced behind him and found that the vivid figure on the shelf had fallen to the ground at some point.

The frown between Jiang Yun’s eyebrows deepened, perhaps blown away by the wind outside the window. He was too lazy to continue playing the game and planned to clean it up after the game was over.

The game ended in about two minutes. Jiang Yun was playing selflessly and was excited. He kept switching the assault rifle and sniper rifle in his hands. From the beginning to now, Jiang Yun had defeated eighteen heads.

His restless mood finally eased, and he hummed a tune leisurely and proudly as he put away the gun. He crossed his legs and looked back behind him inadvertently. The discomfort in his chest suddenly spread unexpectedly.

Just now——

Is this where the figure dropped?

Why did he feel like he was closer than before?

Jiang Yun felt that he must be sleepy, so he washed his face with cold water in the middle. When he passed by the living room, he heard his mother nagging on the phone: “Do you know, I am also a human being. If you do this, won’t it hurt me? We have been husband and wife for so many years, how can you bear it?”

Jiang Yun was speechless.

He heard these words all day long, and his ears were numb from hearing them.

After he returned to the bedroom, he locked the door and put the headset in his ears with a cold face, but even so, he still heard the repeated pain sound.

“It hurts so much——”

“It hurts so much——”

No.

The door was closed tightly this time. He shouldn’t hear it so kindly anymore, so close that it seemed like it was growing out of his own ear.

Jiang Yun seemed to feel that the surroundings were very strange now. He put down the mouse and was about to check what was going on. Suddenly, Jiang Yun’s eyes suddenly shrank and turned into a black dot the size of a bean, and cold sweat dripped from his palms.

Because he saw all the figures behind him from the black screen of the computer, turning their sesame-like black eyes slowly and uniformly, looking straight at him with a sly and malicious look.

“Hehe.”

The author has something to say:

I’ll fix it tomorrow, it’s too late today.
