Chapter 494 Someone's here!
Chapter 494 Someone's here!
During these four days, they each performed their duties.
Lin Xiyue was in charge of sculpting the various parts of the doll. Her fingers moved nimbly, shaping the clay into various forms.
Li Si then carefully inscribed the array on the doll's body that she had sculpted.
His brushstrokes are delicate and precise, and every line contains endless mysteries.
Meros was focused on nurturing the soul, his breath as gentle as a spring breeze, enveloping the soul in a warm atmosphere.
Finally, An Qing was in charge of logistics, including food preparation. She meticulously prepared each meal to ensure everyone had enough energy and a good mood.
"Ring ring—"
Suddenly, a crisp doorbell ring broke the silence inside the store.
The sound was very similar to the wind chimes at the door; it was the only external sound that had been heard in the past four days.
In an instant, everyone's attention was drawn to it.
Upon hearing the doorbell ring, An Qing, who was closest to the door and relatively free, quickly stood up and walked towards the door.
Who could it be? We haven't received any guests these past few days.
She walked along, pondering to herself.
"I'm sorry, we have a large order, so we won't be accepting guests for the next few days."
When An Qing opened the door, she only saw a figure standing outside. Because the sunlight was a bit dazzling, she didn't have time to see the other person's face clearly before she habitually smiled and said...
"Oh my god, An Qing is just giving us such a perfunctory and official answer."
A somewhat frivolous male voice rang out. Although the voice sounded casual, it did not contain much frivolity. Instead, it revealed a familiar and friendly tone.
"Hey?!"
Upon hearing the voice, An Qing's body trembled violently, as if she had been startled by something. Her eyes instinctively lifted, and she looked straight in the direction from which the voice came.
The visitors were none other than Ling Yan and He Hailuo.
They were standing at the entrance, backlit, so An Qing couldn't see their faces clearly at first.
However, the moment An Qing finished speaking, Ling Yan suddenly took a step forward, then squatted down and brought his face close to An Qing's.
"Yes, it's me."
Ling Yan had a faint smile on his lips, his eyes gazing tenderly at An Qing, and he spoke softly.
"I accompanied her to see Boss Lin."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to Heheluo standing behind him.
Hi~ Hello.
Heheluo spoke softly, a little shyly, her voice trembling slightly; she felt somewhat uncomfortable in such a social setting.
In stark contrast to Lingyan's outgoing nature, Hehailuo not only suffers from social anxiety but also appears unusually reserved.
To ease the tension, she even brought a beautifully decorated fruit basket when she visited.
Following Lingyan's gaze, An Qing immediately noticed He Hailuo, who looked slightly flustered and was cautiously greeting her.
Fragments of memories flashed through her mind, and she immediately remembered He Hailuo's identity—Xi Yue's client.
"Ah, you're Sister Xiyue's client! I remember you, you came here to order two really beautiful dolls. Sister Xiyue said that if you came to see her, she would let you in."
An Qing said warmly, while opening the door wide to show her welcome.
"However, please be careful of the things on the ground when you come in, and don't accidentally step on them."
She reminded her with a smile.
Seeing An Qing's actions, Ling Yan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a satisfied smile.
"Alright, now that Boss Lin has made the arrangements, let's go in quickly."
He raised an eyebrow, seemingly pleased with An Qing's warm reception, then turned to He Hailuo and said...
Ling Yan stood up smoothly and naturally, as if this were his home, without the slightest sense of restraint.
He easily stepped over the threshold, then turned around, smiling and waving at Hehelo, who was still standing there, calling out to her to come over quickly.
"Ah, here it comes."
Seeing this, He Hailuo's embarrassment became even more obvious. She responded awkwardly twice, then hurriedly quickened her pace and walked towards Lingyan.
After all, Lingyan's enthusiastic and unrestrained behavior attracted the attention of many people on the street, which was an unbearable pressure for someone with some social anxiety.
Heheluo finally reached the door. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
"Sorry to bother you."
After entering, she closed the door behind her, muttering a polite remark.
"Tsk tsk tsk, alright alright, don't be so polite, it's not like this is your first time visiting Boss Lin's place."
However, Ling Yan seemed completely unconcerned about He Hailuo's politeness. He walked straight past the mangled dolls scattered on the ground, plopped down on a single sofa, and then casually spoke to He Hailuo.
As Heheluo stepped into the store, she looked around and found that most of the people there were familiar faces, which made her feel a little more relaxed.
"Ah, that..."
"I brought you some fruit."
Hehelu spoke somewhat reservedly, handing over the fruit basket he was carrying.
Her gaze quickly swept over Ling Yan, who was lounging lazily on the sofa, and she noticed a hint of mockery and curiosity in his eyes.
However, He Hailuo paid little attention to Lingyan, instead focusing his attention on An Qing, who was standing in front of him.
"Okay, thank you."
An Qing was clearly a little surprised by He Hailuo's gift, but she quickly smiled, gladly accepted the fruit basket, and said...
"Please come this way with me, let's sit here. The ladies are still busy, you may have to wait a little while."
Then, An Qing enthusiastically guided He Hailuo.
He Hailuo obediently followed An Qing to the other side, where a sofa was placed far away from the working area of Lin Xiyue and the others.
An Qing smiled and invited He Hailuo to sit down, then turned and placed the fruit basket on the table beside her.
"Okay, thank you."
He Hailu sincerely thanked An Qing, a faint smile appearing on his face.
"You're welcome."
"I'll go get you something to eat."
An Qing smiled, revealing a smile as bright as spring flowers in bloom, and then said lightly.
Before she finished speaking, she turned and ran towards the kitchen like a nimble little deer.
"Hey hey hey—"
Upon seeing this, He Hailuo was startled and quickly tried to refuse.
However, before she could finish speaking, An Qing's figure had already disappeared like lightning at the kitchen doorway.
Hehelu smiled helplessly and had no choice but to give up the idea of refusing.
She sighed softly, then slumped onto the sofa like a lump of mud, completely relaxing.
