Today, I Have Yet to Become a Doll

With Yan Qingwen's intelligence, Bai Youwei believed he had already guessed seven or eight parts of it. As for Li Li and Zhu Shu, although their perspectives were limited, they should also have their own answers regarding the final reward.

How they guessed was their business.

Whether she said anything was hers.

If she truly revealed every detail of her reward, Bai Youwei felt that only a fool would do such a thing. Who could guarantee that among the people present, no one would "sell" her out in the future?

Of course, before such a thing happened, they could be friends.

In these times, having one more friend, especially a clever one, was more useful than having an extra prop.

…

Later, everyone chatted about their future plans, intentionally or unintentionally avoiding the topic of rewards.

Children get sleepy early. While they were chatting, Pan Xiaoxin, leaning against Teacher Cheng, kept nodding off like a pecking chicken.

Tan Xiao, who was injured, was lying in the tent. Originally, three people squeezed in to sleep, but now it was inconvenient.

Zhu Shu offered her tent, saying she would sleep with Su Man in one tent. Su Man didn't object.

After settling the child and the elderly man, the others washed up and rested.

The night deepened, dark and quiet.

Bai Youwei, holding the golden key, tossed and turned in her tent, unable to sleep.

When Shen Mo returned, she sat up and asked, "What were you talking about with them? It took so long."

"Confirming tomorrow's route with Yan Qingwen."

Shen Mo sat down beside her and pulled out a few puzzle pieces, placing them beside her: "Yan Qingwen asked me to give these to you, five puzzle pieces."

"Quite trustworthy." Bai Youwei put away the puzzle pieces and moved closer to ask, "Are we really going to Shanghai?"

Shen Mo: "Yes, I want to meet that Professor Song. I asked Teacher Cheng and Xiaoxin, and they have no objections."

"It's not that they have no objections, it's that they have no ideas, right?" Bai Youwei couldn't help but say. With the world in this state, what difference does it make which city we go to?

Shen Mo smiled upon hearing this and asked her, "What about you?"

Bai Youwei's eyes rolled around, and she said, "I have no objections either."

Shen Mo's lips curled up, and he raised his hand to tap her forehead. "Go to sleep."

Bai Youwei: "Wait a minute~"

She suddenly acted coquettishly, attracting Shen Mo's attention. He smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"

Bai Youwei held the golden key in one hand and his hand in the other. In the dim tent, her eyes sparkled.

"Let's go see the dollhouse," she said.

"…Now?" Shen Mo raised an eyebrow slightly.

Bai Youwei blinked. "Or… wait another half an hour? Wait until everyone is asleep, and then we…"

Her words became increasingly suggestive. Shen Mo, amused, held her hand. "Let's go now."

Bai Youwei opened her palm. The golden key, even in the darkness, was still dazzling, just like the gold coin that had attracted them before.

"Holding the key… turn it clockwise half a turn, and you can open the dollhouse in any space."

Bai Youwei looked around the tent with the key in her hand.

"There are no restrictions. Logically, it should work here too…"

She was a little nervous and a little excited. She pointed the key at one of the tent's canvas walls and turned it half a circle like opening a door—

Click.

A familiar sound.

When they were trapped in the dollhouse, every time they invited a guest in, the door would make this sound!

"It's open." Bai Youwei looked at Shen Mo.

Shen Mo reached out and touched it. The canvas still looked like canvas, but he could clearly feel the metallic doorknob.

He reached out and grasped it.

Then he pushed it open.

The living room of the dollhouse appeared before their eyes!

It was the same house, but this time, there was no sense of eerieness. All the furniture and decorations were ordinary and quiet, like the most common home.
