Obsessively Raised by My Doll 53

Chapter 53

Lu Dieqing had always been a well-behaved girl. When she was drunk and sleeping soundly like this, her sleeping face looked even more serene.

It seemed that no matter what kind of wind and frost raged outside, as long as one stood before the girl and looked at her sleeping face, their heart would be cleansed and become peaceful.

Zheng Xuening leaned against the girl’s shoulder and watched her for a while. She felt a sense of peace filling her heart, and she couldn’t even bring herself to be angry.

It had indeed been a long time since she had had a good night’s sleep.

Those few days when she had taken the poison and was in a coma did not count as rest.

Even now, her internal injuries were still there, and it was not comfortable.

In fact, due to the great pressure, her headaches had recurred.

But whenever she entered the wooden doll’s body, it was as if she had returned to the cozy nest the little girl had specially set up for her.

In an instant, there was no pain at all.

It was as if she had left all the hustle and bustle of the mortal world behind, and the headaches no longer existed.

What remained in Zheng Xuening’s heart was only the image of the girl coaxing her with a soft and gentle voice.

Or, as now, sleeping soundly, her two small, fair hands clasped under her cheek, completely oblivious to all the disturbances of the outside world.

Zheng Xuening found that she was very willing to protect such a girl.

At the very least, she wanted to let her keep this pure heart.

There were already enough people in this world who judged others with malice or were caught in schemes. There was no need to add a little rabbit like Lu Dieqing to the mix.

…

It was almost dawn. Lu Dieqing finally woke up slowly. She opened her almond eyes, looked at the roof beams, and was stunned for a long time before she remembered that she had gotten drunk while eating with her parents.

“Aiya!”

Remembering that today was her first day of studying at the Caiyun Academy, she quickly jumped up.

After dinner last night, she must have been sent back to her room by her mother. She hadn’t even bathed or tidied herself up properly.

To be able to go to the Caiyun Academy was all because of the Crown Princess.

Lu Dieqing did not want to lose face for the Crown Princess in any way.

Lu Dieqing, who was in a hurry to prepare for her bath and grooming, didn’t even notice that the wooden doll on her bedside table had been looking at her with a somewhat resentful expression.

She had been ignored!

And completely ignored, at that.

Zheng Xuening was furious. Unfortunately, the wooden doll had no mouth and couldn’t speak loudly. She could only send her thoughts to the girl.

After a long wait, Lu Dieqing finally finished her grooming and hurriedly put on the Caiyun Academy dress.

“Hey, little crybaby.”

The wooden doll’s voice sounded in Lu Dieqing’s heart.

The latter, who was getting dressed behind the screen, paused. She suddenly thought of something and hurriedly came around to the bedside.

“Xinxin!”

Wow, Lu Dieqing was so happy she was about to cry. She picked up the little doll and kissed it.

“You haven’t appeared for several days.”

Lu Dieqing had a belly full of words she wanted to share with her little doll.

These few days had been a rollercoaster, a storm and a great rise and fall that Lu Dieqing had never experienced in her past life.

And now, she was going to the Caiyun Academy.

Lu Dieqing heard a voice from outside. The palace staff were waiting at the door with a sedan chair.

The girl didn’t dare to delay, but she was also reluctant to part with the little doll. After thinking for a moment, she simply pocketed the little doll and stuffed it into her sleeve.

“Xinxin, you must have never been to an academy either. Let’s go together.”

Lu Dieqing’s mood suddenly became even better.

Zheng Xuening opened her mouth in the wooden doll, but in the end, she didn’t say anything to refute it.

Forget it.

She hadn’t appeared for a few days. She also knew that the girl must have been sad in secret.

Moreover, she hadn’t accompanied Lu Dieqing like this for several days.

Sometimes, the identity of a wooden doll was more useful than that of the Crown Princess.

It wouldn’t attract too much attention, and she could fully accompany this girl and notice all movements, and the transmission of information was also hidden.

It was just… the only thing to worry about was that when the sky was completely bright, this wooden doll’s body would return to silence.

She didn’t want to see the little girl disappointed now, but she was afraid that when she really disappeared, the little crybaby would hold the wooden doll and cry.

Thinking of that scene, Zheng Xuening wanted to sigh.

Lu Dieqing held her little doll and felt much more at ease when she sat in the sedan chair.

With Xinxin accompanying her, it seemed that no matter where she went, she would have confidence and no longer be so apprehensive and lonely.

This feeling was like traveling to an interesting place with her closest friend, where she could immediately share anything she encountered.

After getting into the sedan chair, Lu Dieqing peeked out from behind the curtain.

The scenery around her was slowly receding. Her parents stood at the courtyard gate, waving at her slowly. Everything seemed to be getting better.

The girl’s heart was filled with joy. She softly hummed a song, but her voice was very small, ensuring that only the little doll held in her hand could hear.

Zheng Xuening: “Are you very happy to go to the Caiyun Academy?”

Lu Dieqing nodded. “Yes. I never thought that I could also go to an academy to study. I’m really curious about what it’s like inside.”

After a pause, she looked at the gradually rising sun outside.

She couldn’t help but whisper to her little doll.

“Xinxin, why weren’t you here these past few days?”

After asking this, Lu Dieqing herself had already begun to find an answer for the little doll.

“Is it that this doll’s body is not suitable? The Crown Princess said that she would help me find Yushan bamboo. If I use Yushan bamboo to make a new body for you, will you feel better?”

Having saved up several days’ worth of things to say to Xinxin, Lu Dieqing only wished that the sun would not rise so early.

If she hadn’t gotten drunk last night, she could have talked with Xinxin for a while longer.

Lu Dieqing held the little doll in both hands and apologized seriously.

“I’m sorry, Xinxin. Yesterday, I ate with my parents. We were all happy, so we drank a little wine. I can’t hold my liquor, so I accidentally got drunk.”

“If not for that, I would have waited for you every day as before. Will you feel disappointed? Please don’t overthink it. I like Xinxin, I value Xinxin, and that won’t change in a hundred years!”

Perhaps because she had never lacked love and had been raised with the love of her parents, but because she had been stranded in a foreign land and had developed a sensitive and delicate nature, she was good at perceiving others’ emotions and could catch others at any moment.

For example, at this moment.

Zheng Xuening had come to the doll’s body and had been “left alone” all night. It would be a lie to say that she wasn’t a little wronged.

After getting used to receiving intense and passionate affection, even the slightest neglect would become unbearable, creating a sense of disparity and disappointment in her heart.

But this clumsy little crybaby could always notice her emotions and gently and sincerely hold her heart, not letting it fall.

The sedan chair traveled for a while and finally stopped.

Lu Dieqing quietly lifted the curtain, glanced outside, and then quickly lowered it again.

A little nervous…

And… it was dawn. Her little doll was about to disappear again.

Thinking of this, the smile on the girl’s face dimmed, and her lips pressed together. She looked like a lost little baby, pitifully unable to find her family.

Zheng Xuening was now extremely familiar with this girl’s expressions. The moment she saw her lower her eyes, she knew she was feeling wronged.

The wooden doll moved bit by bit to the girl’s shoulder, leaning against her fair neck.

“Study well.”

It was rare for the doll to instruct someone like this.

Lu Dieqing blinked her sparkling eyes.

“Is there anything else?”

She wanted to hear a little more of Xinxin’s concern.

Zheng Xuening was silent for a while and then said something shocking.

“Me or the Crown Princess, you can only choose one to sleep with.”
