Extra 7: The Dolls Are Different
For the next five days, Jiang Yunshu didn't leave his room except to eat. He just cuddled his doll, read books, and slept all day. It was clear that his heart had been deeply hurt.
Even when Jiang Yuetan came to see her cautiously, she would just hide in bed with her doll, politely refusing by saying "I don't want to see you" and "I'm sleepy," as if she no longer trusted him.
The children hadn't seen Yunshu for a few days and asked, "When will Yunshu come?" Unable to bear their persistence, they eventually learned that Yunshu was in a bad mood.
"Let's go and see Yunshu!" the children said worriedly.
People laughed and refused.
On the sixth day of Jiang Yunshu's confinement, Jiang Linqing suddenly sent someone to say he wanted to give her some gifts.
Jiang Yuetan was stunned, called him over and asked gently, "Linqing, are you worried about your sister?" Without waiting for his answer, he asked someone to deliver his gift.
Watching the child leave, Jiang Yuetan couldn't help but turn to ask the person next to him: "How is Yunshu today?"
"Pah!" The person next to him trembled, and the ink pen fell to the ground. The person next to him stiffened, raised his head, and slowly pursed his lips. Suddenly, he shouted, "I'll call someone to ask!" and rushed out the door.
Jiang Yuetan: “???”
…………
Good morning, the sun is shining.
The doll was placed in a packaging bag, which was then sealed with a snap ribbon. Jiang Yunshu took the doll and went to eat.
It was a rare opportunity to get some fresh air outside today. Jiang Yunshu returned to his room to change his clothes and walked towards his window nest as usual, but suddenly he stopped.
She held her doll in her arms, her dark eyes staring quietly at the doll in front of her that was placed in her nest.
The people behind her held their breath, staring at her back cautiously and nervously.
Suddenly, the child walked forward calmly, reached out to pick up the doll, turned around and walked, placed the doll on the small table in the corner, turned his hand, and the doll instantly faced the wall.
Then she hugged her doll, returned to her nest and read a book.
The people behind him looked helpless: "..."
They took it out, she put it back, they took it out, she put it back, they took it out, she put it back...
For several days in a row, she had no intention of talking to them or getting angry with them. She just put the doll in the corner every morning in a strange and stereotyped way and went to read by herself.
It's like getting used to doing some kind of daily task.
Strange kid.
In the room.
The people in front recalled and told the story.
At the table, Jiang Yuetan listened with a smile, nodding occasionally. The people around him glanced at him several times, then quietly moved away, their heads down, pretending to be busy.
"Okay." Jiang Yuetan said with a faint smile, "Put Lin Qing's gift away."
The person in front quickly responded and went out.
Jiang Yuetan had a gentle smile on his face and sat motionless for a long time.
Suddenly, his expression twisted, he supported himself on the table with both hands, staggered to his feet, took a deep breath, and walked around the table slowly out.
"Ah..." The person next to him subconsciously looked up, opened his eyes wide, opened his mouth, and instantly thought of something, then silently shut up and lowered his head.
He didn't mention this before, so I asked out of curiosity.
…………
On the corridor outside the room, Jiang Yunshu walked slowly, holding the doll in his hands and turning it around. Suddenly, his hands stopped and he stared at the doll in front of him.
The doll had a hat on its head that was twice as big as its own head, with a nest of plush birds on it. It was wearing a wizard-like robe and holding a bottle doll that was half its body height in its hands. Its little mouth was pursed, and its pair of bright black eyes were open, looking back at her.
Jiang Yunshu suddenly snatched the bottle from its hand, looked at it again, and put the bottle back into its hand. She tilted her head, narrowed her eyes, and looked at the doll sideways as if she couldn't bear to look at it.
"How weird." Jiang Yunshu silently took the bottle away, and when he wanted to put it away, he paused again. He tentatively handed the bottle back to the dog, and when he saw it, he said, "How weird." He quickly took it away again, tried to put it away, and then handed it back again...
Collect, release, collect, release...
“How strange.”
“How strange.”
"good……"
"It seems kind of cute."
Jiang Yunshu held the doll in his hand. The doll was holding a bottle of milk, with its big, bright eyes open, looking at him pitifully.
"!" The child's dark eyes suddenly flashed with light.
The child slowly narrowed his eyes, moved closer to the doll, tilted his head and rubbed his cheek against the doll's cheek, with a slight smile on his lips...
"Xiao, Xiao Shu?!"
A familiar trembling voice suddenly sounded in front of him. Jiang Yunshu paused, opened his eyes, and slowly looked up.
The familiar figure had been standing in front of her for who knows how long. Now, he was looking at her with a hurt expression on his face. His dark eyes were misty, his pupils trembling, and he trembled in disbelief, "Xiao Shu...?"
Jiang Yunshu looked at him indifferently for a while.
Suddenly, she turned around holding the doll, squinted her eyes, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and continued to rub her cheek against the doll's cheek. So cute, so cute.
In an instant, there was a "click" in Jiang Yuetan's ears, and he felt that his three-quarter heartbreak that he had acted out to be seven-quarter heartbreak had actually turned into seven-quarter heartbreak.
He stood there, looking dazed.
Jiang Yunshu turned around holding the doll, walked past him calmly, and turned into a room.
The pink and white are sweet and the sky blue room is refreshing.
Three small brown chairs were placed around a low round brown wooden table with a wooden tea tray on it.
Jiang Yunshu asked the doll to sit on a chair and sat down in front of it.
At the same time, someone poured tea into a cup and placed it in front of her, and the empty cup was placed in front of the doll.
The man turned around to leave, but suddenly a hand snatched a cup from the plate and took it away. The man was stunned, then picked up the plate and walked out as usual.
Jiang Yunshu stared at the front and side, blinked, reached out to steady the doll's hat, withdrew his hand with satisfaction, and picked up the cup instead.
"Tap." A doll fell on the empty chair in the front right, and then a teacup fell on the table in front of the doll.
“…” Jiang Yunshu stared at the familiar doll.
Jiang Yunshu subconsciously reached out to slap it away, but she caught a glimpse of darkness to the side. She paused, touched the doll's head twice perfunctorily, then snatched the cup in front of it and put it in front of herself.
Jiang Yunshu pursed his lips, picked up his cup and drank tea.
I endured it but not completely, I pretended but didn't continue.
Straightforward way to drive away customers.
The person standing next to her: "..."
…………
Quietly, a person and a doll sat opposite each other at the table drinking tea.
Half an hour later.
Jiang Yunshu slowly stood up, picked up his doll, turned around and walked out.
"Xiao Shu, wait a minute!"
The person at the back, who had been standing motionless by the table in a trance for half an hour, suddenly came to his senses and subconsciously turned around to call her.
Jiang Yunshu stopped and turned to look at him.
Jiang Yuetan calmed himself down, smiled gently, and took the neglected doll on the table. He walked over and handed it to her, saying softly, "You can take it with you. You can play with the two dolls alternately."
Jiang Yunshu was silent for a moment, then nodded to him seriously and reached out to take the doll.
"Xiao Shu..." Jiang Yuetan was instantly moved and said, "Okay, go ahead."
Jiang Yunshu nodded, holding his doll in one hand and grabbing his doll in the other, turned around and walked out to his room.
Jiang Yuetan couldn't help but follow.
After entering the room, Jiang Yunshu went straight to the familiar corner, holding his doll with a cold look in his eyes. He placed the doll on the small table in the corner with his other hand, and turned his hand. The doll instantly "faced the wall and reflected on its mistakes."
Jiang Yuetan, who had just walked to the door of this room from the back: "???"
"Xiao Shu?!" Jiang Yuetan opened his eyes wide, unable to believe it. After a while, he asked in a trembling voice, "Why, why is it placed in the corner?"
Jiang Yunshu turned his head to look at him and replied calmly: "Wearing glasses is not good."
"?" Jiang Yuetan's face was still filled with shock and disbelief. He asked, "Why don't you use that?!" He was so shocked that his voice broke.
Jiang Yunshu remained silent.
Jiang Yunshu looked calm and held the doll tightly in his arms.
As if he understood something, Jiang Yuetan's smile twisted a little, and he said with difficulty: "Okay, Xiaoshu, let me tell you something. The adults said that on your birthday this year, all the children of the Jiang family should come to celebrate for you. You should be ready to have some fun then..."
Jiang Yunshu paused and replied "Okay".
Jiang Yuetan smiled and slowly backed out of the door, gritted his teeth and shed tears, whispering: "You continue, you continue..." Backed away, backed away again, backed to the aisle.
You already knew it, didn't you? This child only cares about people and things that make her happy. She doesn't bother to care about things that don't make her happy. Outside the door, Jiang Yuetan stretched out his hand to support himself against the wall.
He bent down slightly, took a deep breath, smiled again, straightened up and retreated silently.
At least she would still give him face... Yes, she would still consider his feelings... Yes, it was all because of the old guy's lack of tact at such an old age, causing Yun Shu to no longer trust him.
In the past, they all said that Yun Shu and he were the best.
…………
Twenty minutes later.
"Is my sister happier?"
As soon as he entered the door, he saw the familiar boy. The boy asked, and Jiang Yuetan, who had just calmed down, "..."
"You look a little happier." Jiang Yuetan praised with a gentle smile, "Lin Qing really understands my sister. She likes the small table and bed she gave me very much."
Jiang Linqing nodded slowly and said sullenly, "As long as my sister likes it." Then he was about to leave.
"Lin Qing." Jiang Yuetan couldn't help but call him and asked, "My sister hugs that doll every day. Haven't you thought about giving her a doll?" He slowly added, "One that looks and dresses like me, so that she can keep him company."
Huh? Jiang Linqing, who was about to walk past him with his head down, paused for a moment. Stunned by his question, he suddenly looked up and blurted out:
"How could she possibly like it!"
Jiang Yuetan's heart, which had been calm for a whole day, was finally completely broken at this moment.
He smiled stiffly, looking at the confused boy in front of him. He listened to the boy's strange words: "How can anyone know what kind of doll she likes? I'm sure what I gave her wouldn't be what she wants."
Jiang Linqing was completely oblivious and kept on mumbling, "What's my relationship with her? I must have some self-awareness. She might not even remember who I am. I don't know her well either. If I rashly gave her a doll, she wouldn't be able to keep it or throw it away. It would only add to her troubles..."
Finally, he said with a complicated expression, "Also, who would give someone a doll that looks like themselves? That's too narcissistic..."
"Lin Qing??!"
Jiang Linqing was caught off guard by the trembling voice of the person in front of him. He was startled and looked up quickly, saying in panic, "What, what happened..."
The person in front of me kept smiling.
Jiang Linqing was at a loss.
"Lin Qing..." Jiang Yuetan smiled gently, as usual, but his voice was strange and seemed a little difficult. He said slowly, "Lin Qing is really, very considerate..."
Jiang Linqing twitched the corners of his mouth as if he wanted to smile, but in the end he just lowered his eyes and said softly: "I'm just not that arrogant yet."
The person in front of him: “???”
