Today, I Have Yet to Become a Doll

Bang, bang, bang—

The stalemate was broken by a knock at the door.

Teacher Cheng turned to open the door.

Standing outside was a young boy in a gray hoodie. He pulled down the wide hood attached to the collar, revealing a smiling face, his two tiger teeth leaving a deep impression.

"I'm Du Lai, is Bai Youwei here?"

Teacher Cheng was stunned for a moment, then turned to look inside the room, "Weiwei… someone's looking for you."

Even without Teacher Cheng's words, Bai Youwei had already heard. She raised her tied hands and forcefully hit Shen Mo!

"Hurry up and untie me!"

What would it look like if outsiders saw this!

It was tied with a slipknot, and Shen Mo pinched one end, and with a gentle pull, it all came undone.

Bai Youwei's hands were finally free. Without her nails, she couldn't scratch him, so she angrily pinched the flesh on his arm!

Shen Mo grabbed her hand and warned in a low voice, "Are you done yet?! If you don't behave, I'll tie your whole body up tonight!"

Bai Youwei's face turned red, and she angrily pinched him again, "Filthy!"

Shen Mo was stunned. How was he being filthy?

Meanwhile, Du Lai had already walked in, wearing a harmless smile on his face.

"Long time no see, Miss Bai~" He walked up to Bai Youwei and Shen Mo with a smile, looking them up and down. "I heard you came out of Game No. 24. Congratulations on getting another item."

Bai Youwei looked at him with disdain, "Others congratulate me on getting my life back, but you congratulate me on getting another item. Isn't my survival worth congratulating? Can you not be so narrow-minded?"

Du Lai: "…"

He was choked, and his smile faded a little. "…It seems you're not in a good mood today."

"Yes, so you better not haggle with me." Bai Youwei said unceremoniously, "If you want to trade for the item, bring out ten puzzle pieces! Not one less~"

Du Lai had long been coveting her Substitute Doll. Bai Youwei couldn't think of a second reason for him to come looking for her.

"Of course, clear prices, I like this kind of transaction." Du Lai smiled, staring into Bai Youwei's eyes. "But how can I be sure that the Substitute Doll is still in your hands? Maybe… you've already used it in the game?"

Bai Youwei frowned slightly, paused for two seconds, and said loudly, "Xiao Xin, bring me my bag!"

Pan Xiaoxin was stunned, then trotted into the bedroom. After a moment, she came out with a bulging canvas bag and handed it to Bai Youwei—

Du Lai's eyes couldn't help but become a few degrees hotter, staring straight at the bag.

Bai Youwei's movements were very rough. She unzipped the canvas bag and directly flipped it 90 degrees downwards, and everything inside fell onto the sofa with a crash!

The Substitute Doll was among them.

She grabbed the doll and placed it on the coffee table, her movements crisp and neat, showing no reluctance towards the item.

"Here, inspect the goods." Bai Youwei said.

Her attitude was confident, not at all worried that Du Lai would take the item and run.

Du Lai couldn't help but become more vigilant.

He once again sized up the people in the room, Tan Xiao, Teacher Cheng, Pan Xiaoxin, and… Shen Mo, who was sitting next to Bai Youwei.

Then he reached out and cautiously touched the doll on the coffee table.

[Substitute Doll: Can act as the user's second body, enduring all damage for 36 hours until completely destroyed.]

That's right!

Exactly the same as what Bai Youwei wrote on the notice!

This was exactly what he wanted!

Du Lai's heart was pounding violently, wishing he could hold the doll in his arms right now, even his fingertips were trembling slightly.

However, another hand pressed down on the Substitute Doll.

Shen Mo reminded him, "We haven't seen your things yet."
