    Chapter 188 Beautiful Doll I Want to Get to Know You

    Chen Xuancai did not apply for Anan's consent. After repeating it, he directly held Shannan in his arms and walked towards the bedroom.

    Shang Nanren was still confused, but he clearly remembered that his brain was flooded with water. Chen Xuan's brain was not flooded with water. Didn't he refuse to let him go to the bedroom to sleep before?

    "Don't you find me annoying?"

    "If you are like them, it will really be annoying." Chen Xuan opened the quilt and threw Shan Nan in. Shan Nan was shocked for a while before he could sit still.

    Chen Xuan likes dark-colored things. Except for white, most of his own clothes are dark-colored. This does not mean that he cannot appreciate light-colored things. On the contrary, he can find matching things of any color.That's why those dolls can be made so beautiful, and the business of his shop can be so good.

    But some prosperity in the outside world does not affect Chen Xuan, who is like a dead sea.

    His quilt is black, a very deep and pure black.

    Shang Nan grabbed the quilt and lay down on the pillow. It was a huge pillow for him, but he actually had no problem sleeping on it.

    Chen Xuan lay down next to him and turned off the light.

    "Chen Xuan?" Shannan called him.

    "Yeah." Perhaps because he was lying down and talking, Chen Xuan had a nasal sound when he responded, and he was not energetic, so he said "um" perfunctorily.

    With the heavy quilt on his body, Shan Nan turned over with difficulty and slowly crawled towards Chen Xuan. Finally, when he touched Chen Xuan's shoulder, he lay down again, "Why do you want to be Fu Xuan's container?"ah?"

    Chen Xuan's breathing was very light above his head.

    "You said that even if all the internal organs returned to Fu Xuan's body, Fu Xuan might not wake up. It's a futile effort." Shannan said softly.

    Chen Xuan turned over, and Shang Nan slipped off his shoulders. He opened his eyes, looked at Anan who fell into his arms, and said lightly: "It gives the teacher and his wife a little hope, otherwise the two old people mayI won’t survive.”

    No matter how you look at it, losing a child in old age is something that will cost them half or even their whole life.

    "Do you have feelings for them too?"

    "No feelings." Chen Xuan put his fingers on Shan Nan's belly. He pressed it and it deflated. "I think it's an inexplicable sense of responsibility."

    Shan Nan pushed Chen Xuan's finger away, "What if you give all the remaining organs to Fu Xuan in the future, but Fu Xuan still can't wake up?"

    "That's none of my business."

    Fu Xuan must be a very good child, Shan Nan thought, that's why he still remembers his so-called responsibilities to his parents even when he has turned into a monster.

    The store was open at ten o'clock in the morning, and Chen Xuan also had work. He fell asleep, and Shannan fell asleep after a while.

    He was afraid that he would be accidentally crushed to death by Chen Xuan, so he slowly moved to the side. After thinking about it, he climbed onto the pillow and stayed on a high ground. No matter what Chen Xuan did, he could not crush him.

    There was no need for Shannan to get up early, he had nothing to do. The most he could do was help Chen Xuan in the workroom.

    But the cotton dolls were enough, and Shang Nan couldn't help much.

    Before falling asleep, Shan Nan was still thinking about asking 01 to talk to him tomorrow, asking Fu Xuan when he was alive, and asking when Chen Xuan appeared.

    The rain stopped completely in the morning. When Shan Nan woke up, Chen Xuan was no longer in bed.

    He ran out of the room, remembering for a moment that he couldn't go downstairs alone.

    He called Chen Xuan.

    After a while, footsteps were heard at the door, and it was Liu Liu in employee uniform.

    The boss asked her to come up and take Anan down, but she searched around and couldn't find Anan there. She continued to search, and finally saw Anan lying on the ground next to the foot of the cabinet.

    "Why is it on the ground..." Liu Liu looked confused. Why did the boss throw such a beautiful doll on the ground?

    She hugged Anan and found that Anan felt different from other dolls. Anan was soft.

    "I wonder what new material the boss has discovered? It's not only soft, but also smells good." Liu Liu held Anan up to his neck and took a deep breath, "It really smells good."

    If Shang Nan had any hairs, he would probably have raised a large amount of them.

    He didn't dare to move or blink at all. When he saw the high heels, he quickly lay down on the ground. Liu Liu would definitely find him anyway.

    But he didn't want to get sucked.

    Liu Liu sent Anan to the workshop.

    Chen Xuan, who was sitting at the table and wearing a protective mask, raised his head and said, "Just leave it here. You can go out."

    Liu Liu took the door and left.

    Chen Xuan held a soldering iron in his hand and was busy with the work at hand. Shannan looked around and saw that the plaster doll had been repaired and placed on the shelf to dry.

    "Where's 01?" Not seeing 01, Shannan went to ask Chen Xuan.

    Chen Xuan lowered his eyes and kept moving his hands, "What are you looking for?"

    "Shouldn't you say hello to me first in the morning?" Chen Xuan glanced at Shan Nan coldly.

    "Good morning, where is 01?"

    Chen Xuan stopped arguing with Shannan. He lowered his head and said, "Maybe he is hiding somewhere to sleep."

    It seems that Chen Xuan doesn't know either.

    Shannan could only ask 09, who was working very hard at the table opposite.

    09 When he saw Shan Nan coming, he immediately greeted him warmly, "Anan, are you awake?"

    "morning."

    "It's getting late, it's almost noon."

    "Do you know where 01 is?"

    "01," 09 stopped what he was doing and looked around. He turned around and said calmly, not surprised or surprised at all, "it should be hiding in some cupboard, sleeping or playing with dolls.", 01 loves fishing the most.”

    10 came over and said, "All old employees are like this."

    "The same goes for 02. He often pushes work to 03. 03 often pretends to be sick and assigns work to 04 and 05. 04 and 05 always use their qualifications to pressure 06..."

    Shang Nan: "..." The workplace for you cotton dolls is as complicated as the human workplace.

    If the other lazy cotton dolls still find excuses to deal with it, 01 is the one who doesn't even find excuses and just stops working if he says he doesn't want to.

    Shonan slid to the floor holding the legs of the table, and went to look for them in the cabinets.

    Finally, I found 01 sleeping in the row of low cabinets against the wall. He was a big one, bigger than the other cotton dolls and looked more fluffy.

    Because of its age and frequent repairs, it looks even more shabby.

    He woke up when he saw the cabinet door opened and looked at the gorgeous and beautiful Anan lying on the ground outside.

    "What are you doing here?" 01's voice was slightly hoarse. He turned over and Shan Nan saw that 01 even put thick mats in the cabinet, colorful cloths on the wall, and piles of other things on the floor of the cabinet.Tiny little dolls.

    01 made myself a little nest in the cupboard.

    "I came to ask you about Fu Xuan." Shan Nan said directly, "Can I come in?"

    01 leaned on his stubby arms and turned his back to Shannan, "Please come in."

    Shannan walked in. After he entered, he sat down cross-legged at the end of 01's bed and looked at him without saying a word.

    01 He didn’t plan to talk at first. He was very lazy, didn’t like to talk, and didn’t like to go to work. It wasn’t because he was older. No matter what kind of baby he was, he was older. He was just very tired and couldn’t do anything.He feels tired and wants nothing more than to lie down. Nothing makes him feel happier and more comfortable than lying down.

    He originally thought that this doll, which Chen Xuan liked recently, was here to urge him to go out to work, so he didn't even bother to look at him.

    Unexpectedly, Anan never spoke after he came in.

    Several times he thought Anan had left. When he glanced over with his peripheral vision, he found that the other person was still sitting in the same position as before.

    "...You came to me for Fu Xuan, didn't you?" 01 turned over again and looked at this overly beautiful doll.

    Although he didn't like Chen Xuan, he had to admit that Chen Xuan's aesthetics was better than most people.

    Anan is simply another pinnacle of Chen Xuan's aesthetics.

    "What do you want to ask? Just ask," 01 said lazily, as if he was about to fall asleep again in the next second, "Why do you know about Fu Xuan?"

    Shannan: "I met Fu Xuan before, and again last night. Chen Xuan told me some things. I'm a little curious about their relationship. Do you know everything?"

    "I don't know." 01 answered decisively, "I'm not Chen Xuan's doll, I'm Fu Xuan's."

    "Foxuan?" Shannan was confused for a while, "09 said..."

    "He knows shit," 01 crossed his legs and stacked his two short and thick calves, "Fu Xuan bought me home when he was in elementary school, and I was almost ruined by him playing with me."

    Shang Nan: "..." They are almost rotten after being played with, these dolls always say such amazing things.

    "But I don't know where Chen Xuan came from. Anyway, he renovated me, and then I still followed Fu Xuan. But after Fu Xuan died, I could only follow Chen Xuan and work for him every day.." 01's eyes, face, mouth, and heart were full of reluctance. He just didn't like working, that's all. He wouldn't be willing to work for Fu Xuan instead.

    That almost coincides with the information obtained by Shan Nan.

    Chen Xuan only appeared after Fu Xuan's mental disorder. 01 is not Chen Xuan's work at all, he is Fu Xuan's doll. No wonder Chen Xuan turns a blind eye to fish every day.

    01 must have spent many difficult and sad days with Fu Xuan.

    "When Fu Xuan was still alive... what kind of person was he?" Shannan asked softly.

    01: "Of course he is a very good person. He has a whole cabinet of awards and certificates. He also has many friends. No one dislikes him. Hey, I said at that time, don't be gay. Don't be gay. It's a pity that he couldn't hear me.say."

    01's tone was very painful, "His parents may seem considerate on the surface, but in fact they can't tolerate any sand in their eyes. I'm not saying that homosexuals are sand, but in their eyes, gays are indeed sand."

    01 After staying here for so many years, he spoke much more maturely than other dolls, which gave Shang Nan the illusion that he was communicating with humans.

    "When I was thirteen... When I was thirteen or eleven, it was revealed that Fu Xuan was gay. He wrote a diary. Damn it, he actually wrote a diary and his mother saw it," 01 said angrilyHe sat up and clenched his fists, "He felt that he didn't like girls, and he wrote it in his diary! In short, he was discovered."

    "I don't know about this either. Fu Xuan told me later when he was not sleeping."

    "Two or three years after Fu Xuan was tortured, Chen Xuan appeared. He looked exactly like Fu Xuan, and he renovated me. That's when I turned into a talking doll."

    "Fu Xuan is so pitiful. His mother found a lot of folk remedies for him to try. She gave him a lot of strange medicines. Not only the medicines, but also made him eat a lot of strange food, bark and leaves, snakes and insects, and some evenEat them raw, some cook them with urine, or tie him up and smoke him a lot..." 01 leaned against the cabinet, "Then Fu Xuan really went crazy. He ran out and was hit by a car.He got up and then died."

    "Chen Xuan walked out and said he could help Fu Xuan's parents."

    "Fu Xuan is still lying on the bed now?" 01 said more words every day for a month than today. Those dolls outside were too stupid, and he had nothing to say.

    Only the one in front of me is smarter.

    Shannan nodded, "Lying down."

    "How pitiful." 01 sighed and lay down again.

    Shang Nan rushed over and lay down next to him, "Then what was it like when Chen Xuan first appeared?"

    01: "That's it. They look exactly the same as Fu Xuan. They were like twins at that time. They shouldn't be the same now. Chen Xuan is much more mature now than he was then. At that time, he was bickering with Fu Xuan all day long. Fu Xuan alwaysIt's the loser, because Chen Xuan is an abnormal Fu Xuan, it's weird that Fu Xuan can win, Fu Xuan is a very weak person." After saying this, 01's voice became lower and lower, and it was hard to tell.Are you belittling Fu Xuan or lamenting something else.

    "If I were him, I would definitely not eat the bullfrogs and snakes boiled in urine. Fu Xuan vomited blood after eating. He is weak!" 01 said loudly.

    As soon as he finished speaking, the cabinet door was opened. It was 09. 09 looked at Shannan and then at 01, "Dad asked Anan to go over and said that if you follow 01, you will learn bad things. 01, you are fishing again, come out quickly.Work."

    01 The anger all over his body disappeared immediately, and he fell down, "I don't want to work, let Chen Xuan hang me, and it will be over."

    09: "..." Why on earth did dad do this to mourn the baby?

    Shang Nan returned to the workbench, he was out of breath from climbing.

    Chen Xuan looked towards him, and he took the initiative to explain, "I went to 01 to ask about you and Fu Xuan."

    "Why don't you ask me?" Chen Xuan raised the corners of his mouth, half-smiling.

    "You will only say what you want to say, and 01 will tell me everything he knows." Shang Nan sat down on the table without hiding anything.

    Chen Xuan said amusedly: "Why do you like to inquire so much? Why do you have to know about Fu Xuan?"

    "Not only Fu Xuan, I also asked you," Shang Nan shrugged, "I am your baby, and I want to know more about you. Isn't it strange?" This is very round, there is no difficulty at all, it can be done easilyAfter passing the customs, Shannan thought.

    The movements of Chen Xuan's hands slowed down, and he looked at Shang Nan. If it weren't for his small size, Anan would be almost indistinguishable from a human being.

    Want to know?

    What is there to know about a hollow puppet.

    But Chen Xuan really had to admit that this feeling was pretty good, a feeling that he had never experienced with anyone else.

    Although the heart does not belong to his body, the area on the left side of his chest is warm.

    In the afternoon, the sun came out, but the color of the sun was not bright, but dark orange. Coupled with the gray that had not faded from the city, the air was filled with a moist and confusing atmosphere.

    The errand service spanned dozens of kilometers and delivered several dishes that Fu Dongyu and Wei Shu had cooked for Chen Xuan, with a note inside saying that they could be eaten hot.

    So dinner was the dishes brought by the two elders. The portions were large and smelled delicious, but Shannan had no appetite. He didn't have such things and had no need to eat.

    He was swiping Chen Xuan's tablet beside him. On it was Chen Xuan's work account.

    Shan Nan looked at Chen Xuan's backstage private messages, all asking if there was a schedule. Chen Xuan's homepage had an email address, and if there was a need for scheduling, they basically requested email delivery.

    However, Chen Xuan’s homepage is currently unavailable for accepting orders.

    His latest update was posted by Liu Liu, who posted a photo of him wearing a sweater full of small pom-poms and carrying a schoolbag with a bow a few days ago. There were four to five thousand comments, two to three thousand retweets, and nearly 1,000 likes.As many as one hundred thousand.

    "Take a break after watching for a while, it's not good for your eyes." Chen Xuan's voice suddenly sounded from behind.

    Shan Nan turned around and pointed at himself, "My eyes are not afraid of damage."

    "Your eyes are made of a kind of colored glazed stone. The yield is very low. If exposed to blue light for a long time, it will change color and crack. If it breaks, I will have to replace your eyes." Chen Xuan said lightly.

    Shang Nan pushed the tablet further.

    "We are going to Xiucheng by car next month. If you want to bring anything with you, please put it in your own suitcase." Chen Xuan continued.

    Shang Nan walked over and sat next to Chen Xuan's arm, "You only have Li Caibi as a friend?"

    "Li Caibi is not a friend, but we are familiar with her," Chen Xuan said.

    "If Li Caibi knew, he would definitely scold you."

    "He's been busy dating recently and doesn't have that time."

    "By the way, Chen Xuan, if Fu Xuan is really dead and buried, will you die?" Shang Nan suddenly thought of this question.

    Chen Xuan supported his chin and picked up Shannan's hair with his fingers. The more beautiful wigs he made were all upstairs. They were all made on a whim and had not been worn by the ones downstairs.

    But now he decided to give all the things upstairs to Anan.

    "No, I won't die even if his children and grandchildren die." Chen Xuan said nonchalantly. He didn't seem to be moved or sad about Fu Xuan's life at all.

    Yes, he is Fu Xuan, but he is not the original Fu Xuan. He is the embodiment of Fu Xuan's unwillingness and rebellion and Fu Xuan's abnormal spirit. He does not have many feelings and emotions.

    Whether it is for yourself or for others, there is not much.

    "What about me?" Shannan asked.

    "Most dolls will basically die after being played with by their owners for a few years. It does not mean loss of life, but it means that they no longer have a sense of beauty, and will have a series of problems such as yellowing," Chen Xuan said lightly, "If they are used in other countries, they will die.In human hands, you can only get it for five years at most. If you take good care of it, it can last seven or eight years, but it’s very difficult. Most people don’t have the energy.”

    Just living for a few years is not bad, Shannan thought, it would be best to complete the task within these few years.

    After saying that, Chen Xuan nodded Zhang Nan's head, he curved his lips and smiled, gentle and paranoid, "But since you are my doll, in my hands, I will play with you for a hundred or two hundred years, so it shouldn't be a big problem."
