Single spouse

1.

Chen Du put his hands under the faucet, and the warm and cool water washed the skin on his hands.

After washing three times, he turned off the water.

Behind it is a staircase, the retro tone, with the halo of the wall lamps on both sides extending a little bit.

Chen Du wore a white shirt, black trousers, and a long linen overalls.

It became more and more that he was tall and straight, with slender limbs.

Chen Du went downstairs.

Inside was a spacious room, bright and warm.

Tap, tap... tap, tap...

That's the clock ticking.

Chen Duhei's heavy gaze turned and landed on a certain place.

Suddenly unfolded a very light, very shallow smile.

Some pale faces became more lively because of this smile.

In the corner of the room sat a small "person" against the wall.

About seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a delicate straw hat and a small suit, with handsome features, light lips slightly drawn, dark brown eyes with a smile, looking straight at the door.

It seems to be gazing affectionately.

At that moment, Chen Du almost thought that the other party was in love with him.

Unfortunately.

This is impossible.

because…

The opponent is a puppet.

Chen Du personally created a unique doll.

2.

"Mr. Chen, can you tell me about the original intention of creating Nine?"

Reporters with microphones eagerly asked questions.

intention?

Chen Duwei frowned, he didn't like others to use this word to describe his works.

He has no intention of it.

Just thinking about the other person and creating it little by little.

After casually answering some irrelevant questions, Chen Du finally broke through the siege of the reporters and got into his car.

"Boss?" the assistant asked him.

Chen Du suppressed the irritability and anxiety in his heart, closed his eyes and said lightly, "Go home."

……

Chen Du opened his eyes.

The living room was silent and dark.

Only the clock on the wall made a ticking sound, and it seemed to be ringing in my ears.

Chen Du sat up, feeling the softness of the sofa beneath him.

He touched the half of his forearm that exposed himself outside. His skin was a little cold, but the temperature of his fingertips was even cooler.

He was a little puzzled.

Because I slept on the sofa in the living room.

This seemed to conflict with my own memory.

But he didn't want to think too much about it.

There was an uncontrollable itching from the depths of his throat, as if countless soft feathers were gently teasing the inner flesh wall.

"cough."

Chen Du couldn't help coughing.

Then the itching became more and more intense and uncontrollable, welling up in his throat.

"Cough...cough...cough cough..."

When the itching in his throat subsided a little, Chen Du raised his hand to wipe away the physiological tears hanging from the corners of his eyes.

Something seemed to be moving in the darkness.

Chen Du was shocked.

"Who?!"

No one answered.

Can't see anything in the dark.

It seemed to be his hallucination just now.

Chen Du raised his hand and put it on his forehead, the temperature under his cold palm was a little higher than usual.

Tsk... Trouble.

Chen Du stood up, shook his dizzy head, and turned on the light.

with a snap.

The living room is fully exposed under the light.

Chen Du subconsciously glanced at the place just now.

But he was stunned.

That is a door.

At the back is a section of stairs leading to the studio. In order to prevent thieves from destroying the studio, Chen Du usually locks it with a key.

But at this time, although the door was closed, there was still a finger-wide gap between it and the door frame.

It was clearly opened by someone.

The key was always carried by Chen Du, and the lock did not appear to be damaged.

If not for a thief coming in.

Then there is a way to open the door.

Only from the inside.

But there's only...

Chen Du had no choice but to stop his guessing.

Because his current condition is not good, he probably has a fever, his head is dizzy, and he doesn't want to take care of anything.The most urgent thing is to drink some medicine first.

I took out a thermometer and measured it. It was not too serious, 38 degrees.

I took some medicine that I always have at home, and drank it according to the instructions.

Chen Du turned off the light and climbed onto the bed in the bedroom again.

A little uncomfortable, but more of a constant sleepiness.

It is estimated that the drug effect has worked.

Chen Du was half dreaming and half awake thinking.

3.

"Teacher Chen?"

Chen Du was suddenly awakened.

He froze for a second before realizing where he was: "Sorry. Where did you just say?"

Mr. Shi, who has worked with Chen Du for many years, did not answer the question immediately, but looked at Chen Du with some concern.

"Mr. Chen, why don't you take some time to check it out recently? I think you don't seem to be in a good mood recently..." Mr. Shi hesitated for a while, looked at Chen Du's face and asked tentatively: "Are you too tired from work? We are very satisfied with this work, and we can talk about the next cooperation in another day. After all, the body is the most important..."

Chen Du didn't speak, but he knew in his heart that Mr. Shi still chose the Wen family in the end.

This is not surprising.

Although I am a bit famous, but after all, I am younger and alone, so I am naturally not as good as a writer with a hundred years of experience.

As a businessman, Mr. Shi always chooses the side that can make him more profitable.

There was nothing to hesitate about.

Chen Du looked at Mr. Shi, but his eyes wandered around uncontrollably, loosely and covertly.

Still saying polite words in his mouth——

"Boss Shi is too polite..."

The girl in the red dress is good-looking, with good-looking hair, um... suitable for the template of the next puppet.

"...We have worked together many times..."

The little boy who was being hugged by the woman wore well-matched clothes and was very cute. He also made a set for the doll when he went back.

"...Just as Mr. Shi said, we will talk next time..."

Um?That man's eyes looked like Nine's, but his face was not as good-looking as Nine's.

"…goodbye."

Chen Du left the cafe and started wandering aimlessly along the street.

When passing by the huge glass window, he subconsciously glanced inside.

Headless plastic mannequins, dressed in exquisite and expensive clothes, stood silently behind the window in various poses.In the reflection of the glass, there seemed to be a figure in a small suit standing behind Chen Du, resembling the puppet Nine.

Chen Du turned his head abruptly.

People come and go behind them.

Busy traffic.

in the studio.

Chen Du held a tool knife in his hand and carefully outlined the facial features of the puppet in his hand.

Eyes, nose, mouth, everything is delicate and careful.

Soon, the general facial features of the puppet came out.

It's a very pretty face.

He took a breath and put down the knife, only then did he feel some soreness in his shoulder.

Chen Du twisted his neck, straightened his body, and raised his hands, ready to stretch his waist——

"Click."

Something clicked behind him, something like the sound of a puppet's joints moving.

Chen Du turned his head.

The original master of the puppet Nine sat quietly in the corner, looking in the direction of the door without moving.

only……

Chen Du's eyes fell on the right hand of the puppet on the ground.

White and smooth, small hands with distinct knuckles, palms facing down on the ground.

Chen Du lowered his eyes, and his fine and long eyelashes covered the emotions in his eyes.

He got up and walked over.
