"Sizzle—"
The tires screeched as they rubbed against the ground. The taxi made a sharp turn, shook off the black car that had crashed into it from behind, and continued speeding forward.
Suddenly, colorful balloons began to float up in the road ahead.
A slender, tall doll wearing a black tailcoat and a rabbit headpiece stands in the middle of the road, holding a large bunch of balloons. One long ear droops and the other sticks up.
After waving, the mascot stretched out its arm as if to stop a car.
The man stepped on the gas and charged straight at the doll without dodging or avoiding it.
Seeing the taxi speeding towards him, the doll stomped his foot angrily, loosened his clenched fingers, and all the balloons in his hand floated away.
Thousands of balloons floated in the air, quickly engulfing the figures of the dolls and also enveloping the speeding taxis.
Thin, vine-like substances emerged from the black beauty mark, twisting and turning around the eye. The man turned to Xia Linyin and said, "Yin'er, wait for me in the car. Once I've dealt with this doll, I'll take you away."
The deep affection in his eyes contrasted sharply with the wildly twisting black vines around his eyes, exuding a violent aura. When he opened the car door, the gentleness he only showed when facing Xia Linyin vanished completely, replaced by a terrifying demonic aura.
"Bang bang bang bang bang!" The thin black vines swung around, crushing all the balloons blocking its way.
The figure of the doll was soon revealed, and countless black vines surged towards it, wrapping it in a black cocoon.
With a loud "bang," the black cocoon burst open, but there was no doll inside, only countless balloons the size of light bulbs.
These colorful balloons, like exploding fireworks, coalesced into a line of words: "Yinyin, I love you!"
Shameless, despicable bastard!
During the fight, she took the opportunity to confess her feelings to Xia Linyin. This action of the doll completely enraged the man, who then attacked the doll without holding back!
Xia Linyin sat in the car, her heart pounding as she watched the fierce fight outside the window. Just as she was intently watching the battle, she heard a fascinated voice beside her—
"You smell so good..."
Xia Linyin suddenly turned her head, and a white, skeletal skull was right in front of her, its empty eye sockets filled with an abyss of blackness.
The skeleton stepped back, putting some distance between himself and Xia Linyin. His stark white teeth, devoid of gums, opened and closed as he spoke, "I didn't scare you, did I?"
A white shirt, a black suit, a red tie, agate rings on long, slender fingers, and a black bowler hat on his head—this is a skeleton dressed as a gentleman.
"You smell so good, your scent is as tempting as candy."
Like a fanatical, die-hard fan, the skeleton blatantly praised Xia Linyin, "Your hair is as black as chocolate, your skin is as white as milk, your lips are as red as cherries, darling, you are perfect!"
Is it definitely perfect, or just delicious?
Xia Linyin moved to the side without changing her expression, placing one hand on the handlebars.
Candy, chocolate, milk, cherries—why are they all food?!
Xia Linyin was clearly not happy about such praise. The skeleton's intentions towards her were obvious, and it was almost as if it was saying, "You're so delicious, I want to eat you."
This is an extremely dangerous personality.
"Your heart—" the skeleton continued to praise Xia Linyin without any attempt at concealment, seeing through Xia Linyin's body the beating heart within her, bright red, full of vitality, thump! thump!
It couldn't help but reach out its bony hand, and just as its finger bones were about to touch Xia Linyin's chest, a "snap" sounded—
It broke off the wrist, tossed the severed hand aside, and said nonchalantly, "It wanted to hurt you."
But this was obviously useless; breaking off one of its arms couldn't stop its entire body from yearning for Xia Linyin.
Ribs pierced through the suit jacket, all pointing towards Xia Linyin, as if a powerful magnetic force was attracting them from that direction.
The skeleton felt it was losing control; every bone in its body yearned for Xia Linyin, truly—
I long to hug her, to hold her tightly, to dig my bones into her flesh and blood, to absorb her hot blood and her soft skin.
Finally, its bones and her flesh fused together, forming a perfect whole that could not be separated.
It always underestimated Xia Linyin's allure. An unbearable emptiness tormented the skeleton. Just as the skeleton couldn't control itself and approached Xia Linyin, the car door opened, and the man who had dealt with the doll pulled Xia Linyin out.
The man frowned the moment he saw that the person sitting in the car was a skeleton, while the skeleton smiled when it saw the man.
All the crazy, twisted, and repressed emotions found an outlet. The skull's five fingers formed claws, and it grabbed at the man with a force that seemed to tear through the void.
The battle between personalities is brutal; every gesture carries earth-shattering power. Xia Linyin was anxious; things were spiraling out of control, or rather, from the very beginning, things had never been under control.
If we don't wake her up soon, the personalities within Xiao Li's body might kill each other off.
But she couldn't get involved at all. She wanted to do something, but before she could, the skeleton glanced at her, and the surrounding environment changed. One second she was next to a taxi, and the next she was on a quiet street.
Small flowers planted in the fences on both sides of the street sway in the wind, emitting a sweet fragrance.
She stood in front of a boutique, her figure reflected in the clean glass door. Suddenly, Xia Linyin had an idea: could she win over those personalities who were willing to return to reality, while persuading those who were not?
Adjusting her slightly askew nurse's cap, Xia Linyin pushed open the boutique door. The wind chimes hanging on the door tinkled cheerfully, as if saying, "Welcome."
The smooth floor tiles were spotless, and rows of neat shelves displayed various exquisite handicrafts, including crystal balls, music boxes, and plates painted with floral and bird patterns.
This is a shop that doesn't seem unusual at first glance.
"Squeak—squeak—"
A rhythmic sound came from the counter, and Xia Linyin followed the sound to the counter.
A man wearing a beige turtleneck sweater and a khaki trench coat lay on a rocking chair, his slender hands clasped over his stomach as the chair swayed back and forth leisurely. A magazine was covering his face.
When Xia Linyin's footsteps stopped in front of the counter, the man raised his long, slender, fair hand, removed the magazine from his face, and gave Xia Linyin a stunning smile. "You've arrived. Would you like to take a look around?"
