"No." Xiao Ming hesitated, "Do you want to take it away?"
… What to take away
Ah Jian picked up the doll again with an expressionless face: "I burned it."
Yuan Yuxue's hand was still gently touching the doll's cotton hand. From a distance, it looked like a handshake. After hearing Ah Jian's words, Yuan Yuxue turned her head slightly and said, "... Don't burn it."
He wanted to keep the doll.
Xiao Ming was standing aside. After hearing what Yuan Yuxue said, he also carefully suggested: "Yuan Yuxue and I sewed this together. Can we keep it... as a souvenir?"
Although the rag doll looked hideous and weird at first, it became a lot cuter after being repaired by Yuan Yuxue and Xiao Ming.
Wanting to keep it as a souvenir is a barely reasonable reason... After all, the two of them spent a lot of time and energy on it.
Ah Jian was slightly startled, looking at Yuan Yuxue, and finally did not mention burning it. He turned his head away and whispered, "...Okay."
Then he handed the doll to Yuan Yuxue.
Of course, Yuan Yuxue had no intention of taking the doll away.
He simply followed the instructions in the original text message and placed the doll back in the bedroom.
It sat between the two pillows, looking like an ordinary rag doll... although a little ugly.
After doing all this, Yuan Yuxue and they left the bedroom of the main house.
The matter came to an end. After Xiao Ming left the main house, he felt suddenly lighter, as if some great threat he was worried about had been dispelled.
This incident was a close call. Although Xiao Ming didn't know the whole story, he had a vague premonition that he was able to escape so smoothly thanks to Yuan Yuxue's presence.
He could guess to some extent that the rag doll changed direction later, which might be related to Yuan Yuxue's action of sewing the rag doll for him.
So he borrowed Ah Jian to place amulets in the bedroom, just in case. He approached cautiously, wanting to say something to Yuan Yuxue.
Xiao Ming is a very introverted person, and sometimes even seems timid.
Asking him to express the emotions in his heart was a straightforward act that was completely contrary to his character.
Just standing in front of Yuan Yuxue seemed to have consumed a lot of his courage. Xiao Ming's eyelashes trembled nervously and his cheeks turned red, as if he was very flustered and guilty.
But he still took this opportunity to stand in front of Yuan Yuxue, and said in a very weak voice: "Yuan Yuxue, thank you... If you hadn't discovered it in time and helped me this time, I really don't know what I would do."
When Yuan Yuxue saw Xiao Ming approaching, she stopped to listen to him. He was always so serious. Whenever someone talked to him, Yuan Yuxue would stare at the other person and wait quietly for him to finish.
Yuan Yuxue's gaze fell on the other person's gently trembling eyelashes, and she responded calmly.
However, there are still some things Yuan Yuxue doesn't quite understand.
He looked at Xiao Ming, his pupils were as dark as if they were dipped in a ball of dark ink, but his eyes were very bright, so they were as beautiful as the dark and romantic starry sky, enveloping the boy in front of him. Yuan Yuxue replied in a calm voice: "You're welcome - and it's not that I discovered it in time, the direction you gave was very clear."
