“Force of habit,” Tong Yi explained casually, feeling quite helpless.
What he had done was definitely a conditioned reflex.
Holding the doll in his hand, he looked at it. Realizing that Mi Le had no intention of taking the doll, he casually put the doll on his own belt. While he walked, the doll swayed from side to side.
After being interrupted, Mi Le stopped dancing. He turned around to say goodbye to his fans before continuing to shop with them.
Zuoqiu Mingxu kept thinking about what gift to buy for Gong Monan. He walked to the door of the doll store and hesitated for a moment, looking at the dolls inside.
Mi Le looked inside as well and suddenly saw a wall of Hello Kitty’s.
For some reason, he burst into laughter when he saw Hello Kitty. He then walked towards the wall, as if he had a special attraction towards Hello Kitty.
Tong Yi also looked over. Seeing Hello Kitty, he instinctively felt a stomachache.
That was not a simple Hello Kitty. In Tong Yi’s heart, that was the collapse of his dignity as a man.
However, seeing Mi Le hold up a Hello Kitty doll and laugh, Tong Yi quickly forgot about the pain. He only felt that Mi Le was laughing very beautifully at this moment, like an angel.
After seeing Hello Kitty, Mi Le couldn’t help but think about it. His mind was filled with Tong Yi’s angry and frustrated look when he was pregnant. It was interesting no matter how he thought about it. Even the doll that he usually wasn’t interested in looked very pleasing to the eye.
“Wrap this one for me,” Mi Le said subconsciously. He soon remembered that he was abroad and immediately repeated it in English.
Tong Yi suddenly was a bit tempted to buy it as well. After all, it had become his daughter.
But he was also afraid that Mi Le would realize something. He turned his head and saw Doraemon, then said to Mi Le: “I want to buy that, the largest one.”
Mi Le was taken aback for a moment and asked: “Er… that’s not easy to carry, is it? It will be very troublesome to bring back to China.”
“I’ll carry it back.” His words were filled with stubbornness.
“Why do you want to buy this kind of thing?” Mi Le asked further. His gaze wandered all over Tong Yi’s body, and he instinctively wanted to frown.
“Why did you buy it?” Tong Yi asked in response.
“To give to my studio staff.” Mi Le didn’t even blink, as if his studio only had one employee.
“I’ll give it to Si Li.”
“Why?”
“Because he’s as dumb as a big bear. It suits him.”
“…”
Mi Le couldn’t help but overthink a bit. However, he soon felt that his idea was absurd and immediately rejected it.
How was that possible?
Mi Le helped Tong Yi communicate with the salesperson and helped Tong Yi buy a large-sized Doraemon.
For others, it was quite big, but to Tong Yi… it was just something to carry.
Zuoqiu Mingxu was wandering around elsewhere before. Seeing that both of them had wrapped dolls, he kept feeling that neither of them was normal.

He bought a doll to give to his girlfriend, but what was going on with these two people?

“Why don’t you find a place to rest for a while, and I’ll find you all after selecting the gift?” Zuoqiu Mingxu suggested.
“I’ll take a break too. As long as I shop for more than five minutes, I get tired,” Tong Yi immediately seconded the motion. He very much needed a break, though he had clearly preserved in training for so many years.
Mi Le and Tong Yi looked at each other. Although they despised each other, they still compromised.
To avoid the fans, they specifically found a very remote place, next to a small river.
There were already people at the places in the room where the air conditioning could be felt. The two of them sat under the shade outside, with the dolls next to them.
To avoid arguing once they spoke to each other, both of them went on their phones when they sat down, ignoring each other.
It wasn’t known if it was because they were both beside dolls, making them appear very “girlish” and a little feminine.
Or if Mi Le’s exposed slender legs really appeared weak, that they actually attracted robbers.
Mi Le had only read some news that it was very chaotic here, and there would even be people who burglarized and robbed in broad daylight.
This was still his first real encounter.
Three bandits stood in front of the two of them. Afraid that there would be a language barrier, they repeated the same few sentences.
Tong Yi turned his head and asked Mi Le: “What are they chattering about? Are they asking for your signature?”
“No, they’re asking us for money. They’re asking us to give them our bags, phones, and money.”
Tong Yi looked at the three robbers again. He pondered for a while before asking Mi Le: “Do you think that fighting abroad is considered a violation?”
“Forget it. Let’s lose money to avoid disaster. Even a mighty dragon cannot defeat a local snake. Give them money so that they get lost.”
“Okay,” Tong Yi said, pushing away the doll on his body and standing up. He took off his glasses, put his hand in his pocket to fish something out, and asked them in Chinese, “Can I swipe my card? How much do you want?”
The three people’s heads practically went from looking down to looking up in unison. They then looked at each other, and after a moment, cursed before running away.
Tong Yi found it inexplicable: “What was that?”
Mi Le looked at Tong Yi, who was standing against the light. His very aggressive and handsome face was full of confusion. He was completely unaware that, as long as he took off his sunglasses and stood up to show his real height, he looked more like a robber than those three robbers.
When Tong Yi sat down, he looked like a couch potato, and he was even holding a huge doll. When he sat down, one couldn’t feel anything. When he sat up, it was like a TV tower had been erected.
“They were probably suppressed by your aura?” Mi Le guessed.
“Then should I chase them and give them money? I should still be able to catch up if I start running now.”
“Don’t. I’m afraid that they’ll call the police.”
“What’s going on here?” Tong Yi muttered and sat down. He continued to hold onto his Doraemon, lost in thought.
Mi Le sat for a while and suddenly found it amusing, but he didn’t know why it was amusing.
He covered his mouth with one hand and laughed. His smile was very shallow but pure.
Tong Yi looked over at him and asked, puzzled: “What are you laughing at?”
“Don’t talk to me.”
“Why?”
“I want to laugh when I see you.”
Tong Yi found it inexplicable. He really had thought about everything seriously, but he couldn’t understand Mi Le’s laughter.
“Why?” Tong Yi asked again.
“There’s no reason. Close your mouth.”
After returning, Mi Le returned to his room and threw Hello Kitty onto his bed.
He picked up his phone and saw the message that Zuoqiu Mingxu had sent.
Zuoqiu Mingxu: Your relationship with Tong Yi suddenly became quite good. Did he ignite you with a flame in the winter?
Mi Le looked at his phone and hesitated for a moment before answering: You’re overthinking it.

Upon returning to his room, Tong Yi received a call from Xu Duoduo. This little witch was able to predict the future and could even figure out the appropriate time to call the other person.
He kicked off his shoes and lay in bed, answering the phone carelessly: “Hello? What’s up?”
“Have you finished beating up your roommate? Can I cancel the shared dream?”
Upon hearing this, Tong Yi became anxious and shouted: “No, no, no!”
“Why? You still haven’t entered the dream yet?”
“No. I just haven’t finished beating him up. I’m planning to deal with him slowly.”
“I’ve never heard of someone needing platonic love to take revenge on another person. If it really doesn’t work, then I’ll give you a talisman. It can make someone have nightmares for seven consecutive days. You only need to put it under his pillow. After seven days, he will definitely have a nervous breakdown and lose his appetite for a while.”
“No need. I think this dream one is quite good.”
“Why are you a little strange?”
“What’s strange about me? Everything is normal. When I need to cancel it, I’ll call to let you know.”
“Why don’t I understand you? Don’t you feel bored when you can’t enter the dream?”
Tong Yi was a bit unsure of how to answer.
Should he tell his childhood friend that he had a crush on his rival in the dream?
And he could nearly linger until the end of the world?
A few days ago, Tong Yi even thought about telling Xu Duoduo to take this thing back.
But right now, if it were mentioned to Tong Yi, Tong Yi was extremely unwilling. He didn’t even want to stop. He just wanted to keep going like this.
He didn’t want to end things with Mi Le like this, and then have no association with him afterwards.
“It’s not boring. How are you doing with your little boyfriend?” Tong Yi began to change the topic.
“Still the same. We’ll keep it up.” When Xu Duoduo mentioned her own boyfriend, her mood wasn’t clear. It seemed quite complicated.
“Or is he jealous because I have some contact with you?”
“Um…”
“How can he be so jealous? Which genuine man will be jealous for no reason?”
“Forget it. I’m not talking to you anymore. I’m hanging up.” Xu Duoduo finished speaking and hung up the phone.
Tong Yi tossed the phone away and looked at Doraemon. After thinking for a while, he couldn’t help but mutter: “Fortunately, I didn’t give birth to you. Your head is even bigger than Hello Kitty’s. If you drew on your head, couldn’t it be used as a globe?”
However, he quickly went to wash up and waited happily to enter the dream.

Mi Le walked up to the mirror and looked at his own appearance.
Surprisingly, it was Tong Yi’s immature style of attire, with his hair slicked back. He was just missing a domineering head scarf around his head.
Just like a small-time thug who collected protection fees.
He couldn’t help but let out a “tsk.” He turned around and saw Tong Yi waiting for him, standing under the dazzling neon lights, also dressed immaturely and wearing a pair of sunglasses.
Tong Yi seemed to be particularly suitable for this carefree and unrestrained image. He leaned against the roadside railing, holding a cigarette in his hand and watching him quietly.
This unrealistic scene made Mi Le realize that he had started dreaming again.
Mi Le walked up to Tong Yi and said to him: “Let’s go. Gege is taking you to have fun today.”
Tong Yi took another puff of his cigarette and actually exhaled smoke in his face, asking: “Who is the older brother?”
“Okay, I’ll take Little Gege to have fun, okay?” Mi Le asked, actually compromising.
“What kind of fun?”
Mi Le looked around and then pointed in a direction, saying: “Do you see that? There’s a nightclub over there, and there are many selling themselves. Go over and chat with them quietly. They’ll tell you the price.”
Tong Yi was a bit puzzled: “What does that mean?”
“I’ll find guys, and you find girls. Let’s let loose.”
“The fuck?”
Tong Yi’s body was not in his control right now. He could only follow Mi Le, with one sentence continuously swirling in his mind.
What genuine man would be jealous for no reason?
No need to let loose with others, just let loose with EACH OTHER 🤭
