Chapter 2

Chapter 2

That being said, I was only indulging in a little fantasy.

I wouldn’t actually dare to cross any lines.

The Young Master didn’t like the workshop being so cramped, so I respectfully invited him into the more spacious living room.

He detested the low-quality white cloth he was wrapped in, so I hurriedly brought out a set of matching doll clothes that fit him perfectly and stayed up late to order several sets of high-end men’s clothing online.

The balance in my bank account plummeted as if it had been hacked.

My heart ached at the sight of the numbers, but one look at Zhuang Jinyu’s divine face and I was pumped with adrenaline again.

“Do you need anything else? Shoes? Accessories? A tie clip?”

Zhuang Jinyu frowned, his tone mocking and unkind.

“What’s the matter? Are you planning to die after today?”

Oh, the Young Master saw my balance.

I scratched my head. “It’s fine. I can always make more money later. Your happiness is more important than anything else.”

Zhuang Jinyu gave me an unreadable look.

“You look like such an honest person, but you sure know how to sweet-talk… Fine, we can talk about that room full of stuff later. Let’s get down to business.”

I immediately sat up straight, waiting for the Young Master’s interrogation.

I had some knowledge about these things.

The reason Zhuang Jinyu appeared here was likely because I had called out his name while standing next to a doll that had just had its eyes painted.

I had accidentally summoned a living soul that had just left its body.

Normally, this wouldn’t be a big deal. As long as his physical body’s condition stabilized, everything would return to its rightful place.

The problem was that Zhuang Jinyu must have hit his head during his accident; his living soul had amnesia.

“What is our relationship? Why am I in your house, inside your doll… and what did you do to me?”

Not only had the Young Master forgotten that he’d been in an accident, he’d even forgotten his own name.

Only his Young Master temperament remained completely intact.

Zhuang Jinyu narrowed his eyes, looking at me as if I were a hardened criminal.

“You’re obsessed with my looks, and it seems you’ve gone off the deep end… You didn’t use some kind of dark magic to trap me in your doll just so you could have your way with me, did you?”

I didn’t! I wouldn’t!

I felt incredibly wronged.

But the explanation rolled around in my mouth a few times before I swallowed it back down.

Just as you shouldn’t remind a dead person that they are dead, an amnesiac living soul like Zhuang Jinyu’s shouldn’t be disturbed.

I had to play along with his logic for now to prevent his soul from being damaged.

“Yes, I did it,” I said, gritting my teeth as I took the blame. “But I didn’t want to do anything to you. I just wanted to talk… The spell will wear off on its own in a few days.”

In a few days, once his living soul stabilized, he should be able to return to his original body.

Zhuang Jinyu looked at me with an expression that said, “I knew it.”

His tone was subtle.

“You don’t look like you have much courage, yet you actually dared to touch dark magic just to take advantage of me. Can a person really be this lustful?”

My mouth opened and closed, but I honestly didn’t know what to say.

Seeing this, the Young Master begrudgingly reached out a finger and helped me push my jaw shut.

“It’s no use even if you show your tongue to seduce me; I’ll only go as far as chatting with you. As for anything else, don’t even think about it, you pervert.”

Me: “…”

I gave Zhuang Jinyu’s current doll body a complicated look, wondering if I should tell him that this body didn’t actually have the ‘functions’ he was imagining.

Sigh.

“Fine. Don’t worry, I won’t do anything,” I finally said dryly.

I really couldn’t bring myself to say those words. I’d just let the Young Master find out for himself.
