Today, I Have Yet to Become a Doll

The gardener stood fixedly in front of her.

After standing for a moment, he retracted his gaze, preparing to switch to the next target.

However, before he could walk even ten steps, Bai Youwei called out from behind, "Hey, where are you going?"

The gardener was stunned, then the corners of his mouth tilted up slightly.

Heh, woman…

He turned to face Bai Youwei, wearing an understanding expression, and said, "I'm going to see if the other brides need help."

"Who could need help more than a cripple?" Bai Youwei said blandly, "Just stay here and help me."

The gardener smiled and bowed slightly, "Willing to be of service."

Bai Youwei's face remained expressionless, her tone light and airy, "Since I am the Duke's bride, and therefore the lady of this manor, and you are just a gardener, of course you must be of service to me."

The smile on the gardener's face stiffened slightly, "…As long as it's within my power."

Bai Youwei pointed downwards, "They're all looking for the key on the third floor. I want to look downstairs, so carry me down."

The gardener thought for a moment, "Alright."

He crouched down in front of Bai Youwei, waited for her to climb onto his back, then stood up and walked downstairs.

Once on the first floor, he set Bai Youwei down on the sofa in the hall.

Bai Youwei said, "I've changed my mind. This place is so big, there's no way a cripple like me can find the key. I should go to the third floor and keep an eye on them, so they can't hide the key while I'm not there."

The gardener felt there was some truth to her words.

He carried Bai Youwei back up to the third floor.

As soon as Bai Youwei touched her wheelchair, she sighed irritably and said, "Forget it, let's go to the first floor after all. So much time has passed, if they wanted to hide the key, they would have already done it. There's no use in me watching them, I might as well go back to my room and rest."

The gardener began to feel that something was wrong, and hesitantly asked, "Are you sure you want to go to the first floor?"

"What's wrong, you don't want to go?" Bai Youwei raised her eyebrows at him. "Didn't you just say you were willing to be of service to me? Since you're an NPC, please act the part, okay?"

The gardener: "…"

Speechless, he crouched down in front of her again.

He carried Bai Youwei, quickly walked to the first floor, and put her down.

Bai Youwei said, "Let's go to the third floor again."

The gardener finally couldn't hold back, "What is it this time? The sun is about to set, I have to return to the torture chamber before the Duke comes back!"

"Why are you reacting so strongly?" Bai Youwei frowned in displeasure. "My wheelchair is still on the third floor, are you not going to bring it down?"

The gardener was stunned, then looked at her with a gloomy expression, "…Alright, I will bring it down for you."

He once again traversed the long spiral staircase to retrieve Bai Youwei's wheelchair.

Bai Youwei said, "Alright, you can go to the third floor now."

The gardener said angrily, "I'm sincerely trying to help, you shouldn't be toying with me like this!"

"Hmm?" Bai Youwei raised her head to look at him. "Which idiot was it just now who said they needed to get back to the torture chamber before the Duke returns? If you don't go to the third floor, are you planning to stay on the first floor for dinner?"

The gardener: "…"

Anger was building up, his hands clenched tightly into fists, and at the same time, he felt even more puzzled: Why would a player behave like this?

Could she have seen through him?

But he clearly hadn't revealed any flaws!

At this moment, a panicked and fragmented cry came from upstairs.

Cheng Qian was crying as she searched aimlessly in the corridor, muttering, "What to do… can't find it… can't find it… he's coming, he's coming to kill me… can't find the key…"

The gardener readjusted his expression, walked up the stairs, and naturally revealed tenderness and concern, "Excuse me… need help?"
