Because she was afraid that Coal Ball would hurt him, Ruth held Coal Ball and let Chu Qi get to know Coal Ball.

Standing in front of the oversized version of the cat, Chu Qi reached out and touched Coal Ball's nose.

The white cat yawned, and its cute big mouth scared Chu Qi so much that she took a step back, fearing that she would be accidentally eaten by the cat.

But it was obvious that Coal Ball was really a very smart cat. After being taught by its owner not to hurt Mr. Thumb, it actually just lay on the ground and ignored Chu Qi's existence.

Chu Qi's daily life became eating, sleeping, studying magic and petting cats.

Um....

However, the consequence of petting the cat is often that she throws herself into the cat's fur, sinking into the fur and even playing hide-and-seek in it.

But you have to be careful with this activity, you have to play it when Coal Ball is sleeping, otherwise there is a risk of being crushed to death.

Chu Qi's progress in learning magic is slowly improving day by day.

Rita's redemption value is stuck at 58.6 and has not moved.

More than three months have passed since we last separated.

If the mission has not failed, it proves that Rita is still alive.

Chu Qi estimated the time it would take her to learn magic, and it would probably take another three years to reach the level of a great magician...

There is still a long way to go.

The road to finding a wife is long...

Ruth has been very happy recently, humming songs all the time. She usually eats half-finished products, but on this day, she actually went into the kitchen to prepare food.

Now, in order to facilitate Mr. Thumb's climbing, simple plastic ladders are set up in high places at home.

Ruth specially customized a small ladder, which is very suitable for the height of Thumbelina, and is very safe and not easily damaged.

Seeing Mr. Thumb coming out to play, Ruth cut a small piece of apple and pear, put it on a plate, and pushed it to him.

"Ruth, you seem very happy?"

On the other side of the dining table, Chu Qi hugged the apple and took a bite, then tilted her head to look at Ruth's smiling face.

Ruth has a high nose bridge and flying eyebrows. She doesn't like to wear makeup, but she always wears light-colored lipstick. There are cute little freckles on her cheeks.

Normally, she has no expression on her face when she is immersed in work, and she only smiles when she is with Coal Ball or interacting with him.

At this moment, as she was preparing her lunch box, her face showed anticipation and shyness that Chu Qi had never seen before.

"Really? Was it that obvious?" Ruth wiped the water droplets that accidentally splashed on her chin with the back of her hand and responded with a smile:

"I got a new boyfriend yesterday and I'm preparing a lunch box for him now."

"Yesterday?" Chu Qi took another bite of the apple, her cheeks puffed up slightly, and chewed it for a few times like a little hamster before saying, "Congratulations."

"Thank you," Ruth said shyly, "This is my first time preparing this too. I wonder if he will like it?"

"I'm really worried it won't taste good." Ruth took a piece of seaweed and purple rice dumpling, handed it to Chu Qi and said:

"Mr. Thumb, this is your lunch. I'm going to go out first. You stay at home and take good care of the coal."

She poured another small bottle cap of goat's milk for Chu Qi, and poured the remaining half cup of goat's milk into Coal Ball's bowl.

After doing all this, Ruth put on her carefully matched clothes, sprayed some perfume on her wrists, and then went out with her lunch box.

Chu Qi finished eating half of the purple rice ball, walked down the small stairs, and returned to her room to study magic.

In the evening, Ruth returned home dejected.

She was holding a take-away box in her hand. She saw Mr. Thumb sitting at the table in the living room watching TV. She pulled herself together and said:

"Mr. Thumb, I bought the Chinese restaurant food you mentioned last time, a carrot stewed chicken. Do you like it?"

Chu Qi said, "Ruth, you don't seem very happy?"

Ruth's emotions are so understandable.

She was clearly very excited in the morning, looking forward to meeting her boyfriend, but when she came back in the evening, she looked like a frost-bitten eggplant, listless, it was hard not to see it.

"I'm glad you noticed my mood, Mr. Thumb," Ruth said wearily as she put the take-away box on the dining table.

"He liked the lunch box I gave him today, but I didn't like the gift he gave me in return."

She took out the gift - a strange-looking doll.

The doll's face looked like it had been cut by a knife, with all kinds of marks all over it, and even its eyeballs were red.

You can believe it if you say it was picked up from a garbage dump.

Coal Ball walked over slowly, circled around its owner's legs, and meowed coquettishly.

Ruth squatted down to pet the cat and put the doll on the stool. Although she didn't like the gift her boyfriend gave her in return, it was still a gift from him, so she hadn't figured out how to deal with it yet.

You can't throw it away, but it's too disgusting to leave it there.

Ruth petted the cat for a while and was about to put the doll in the corner and cover it with something.

The well-behaved Coal Ball suddenly got angry and growled at the doll.

Chu Qi was staring at the doll. Hmm, it looks familiar...

I seem to have seen it somewhere, but I just can't remember where.

The cat's sudden fur stand-up startled her and brought her back to her senses. She suddenly remembered, isn't this the popular bad luck doll?

Chu Qi had watched a movie in the previous dimension, which was a horror movie with the theme of doom dolls.

According to legend, if a movie protagonist holds this doll, her good luck will be sucked away and transferred to the donor. Conversely, the donor's bad luck will be returned to the doll holder.

Bad luck, including but not limited to damage transfer.

"Ruth!" Chu Qi shouted.

"What's wrong?" Ruth looked up.

Chu Qi was about to tell Ruth about the doll of misfortune when she saw a small cut on her forehead and bright red blood was flowing out.
