Chapter 57.1: Perfect Realm

“Then I’ll bring it to you next Monday?” Yao Yi immediately regained her spirits.

Yao Yi had left the doll in the villa on Lugu Mountain, so she had to go there over the weekend to retrieve the doll.

“Okay.” Fu Chuan agreed in a low voice.

On Thursday, Father Yao and Mother Yao came back from their business trip. Yao Yi was sitting in the living room doing her homework, when she heard the sound of keys rattling outside, it seemed that the people outside the door were in a hurry.

“Yi Yi, we’re back!” Lin Xiuyu called as soon as she entered the door, which didn’t fit her elegant temperament at all.

“Dad, Mom.” Yao Yi put down her book and stood up to take things from her dad.

She was immediately blocked by Lin Xiuyu: “Didn’t you injure your knee, don’t move around.”

“Oh, it’s all healed.” Yao Yi didn’t care at all.

“Oh.” Yao Yi has never refuted her parents’ words, but it was another matter to listen to them.

“Where is the medicated oil? Dad will apply for it.” Father Yao looked at the residual bruising on his daughter’s knee, and his eyelids twitched.

Yao Yi pointed to the locker: “I put it in there.”

“Yi Yi, are you going to the capital to participate in the winter camp in December?” Lin Xiuyu sat beside her and watched as Father Yao squatted down to apply medicine to his daughter and asked.

Yao Yi tried her best to ignore the burning sensation of the medicated oil on her knees and nodded, “Mhm, it’ll last about a week.”

“Grandpa called last time to say he missed you, why don’t you go to the capital and stay at Grandpa’s house…Lao Yao, be more gentle!” Lin Xiuyu saw Yao Yi frowning, and immediately patted on Father Yao’s hand.

“Hey, the medicated oil needs to be applied with pressure.” Father Yao retorted.

Yao Yi, who had also heard Fu Chuan say this, couldn’t help but also nod: “Dad is right.”

Lin Xiuyu didn’t know whether to cry or laugh: “Mom is worried about your pain though.”

“It’s okay.” Yao Yi sat on the sofa and was very obedient.

“I know you are obedient.” Lin Xiuyu also sighed a little when she looked at her daughter, who had already grown up so much. Yao Yi was a very good child except for her little hobby of picking up strange junk and always not going to bed on time.

Because of Yao Yi’s knee injury, the meals she ate were very nutritious. Yao Yi was taken care of very well, but Father Yao also became fat from it,

Over the weekend, Yao Yi went to Lugu Mountain. Father Yao drove her there, Yao Yi was not allowed to take the bus.

“What did you leave in the villa, dad can help you get it. You don’t have to go there yourself.” Father Yao asked, sitting in front.

Yao Yi leaned against the window looking at the scenery of the passing mountains: “I put it away carefully, Dad, you may not be able to find it.”

Whenever Yao Yi made some dolls, she would put them in a box. However, the box was not big, it could hold two dolls at most. Yao Yi’s previous dolls were basically given to children she didn’t know, but there was still a doll in a box that had been left untouched for many years.

When they arrived at the villa, Father Yao accompanied Yao Yi in, and then he came back out to water the green plants outside the house.

Yao Yi walked into her room and found an exquisite but slightly old box from the top of her bookshelf.

It was covered with a thin layer of kraft paper to keep out dust, and the box was clean upon unwrapping it.

This box could be said to be the best thing Yao Yi has taken care of. Except for the natural aging over the years, everything else was intact.

There was a soft cloth cushion inside, and a ceramic doll was placed in the middle.

Yao Yi half squatted on the ground, stared at the box for a long time, finally closed it, and then walked downstairs directly with the box.

Father Yao had just come in after watering the plants.

“All done?” Father Yao asked after putting away the things in his hand.

Yao Yi nodded and walked out with Father Yao.

“This box… what are you taking it out for?” Yao Yi looked down and saw the box in his daughter’s hand, very surprised.

“What’s the matter?” Yao Yi was confused, and opened the box to reveal the blue coated doll inside, “I’m giving this to a friend, and this box happened to be packed together with it.”

Father Yao looked at Yao Yi in surprise: “You used to treasure this box, don’t you remember?”

They had never seen the contents of the box, but Yao Yi especially treasured this box when she was a child, and no one was allowed to touch it.

Yao Yi lowered her head and looked at the exquisite box in her hand in doubt: “Me? I treasured it? I don’t remember.”

“Your mother bought this box in a handicraft store in Yangzhou before, and you asked for it. Afterwards, no one in the family could touch it.” Father Yao recalled, “At that time you were still young, only six or seven years old. Your mom touched it once, and you were super fierce about it.”

“Me?” Yao Yi couldn’t imagine her fierce appearance at all, and in her memory she still hadn’t lost her temper with anyone yet.

Father Yao smiled: “Yi Yi is grown up now, so you may not remember.”

While reminiscing about Yao Yi growing up, Father Yao also forgot to ask about the doll in the box.

…

In the early morning of Monday morning, just when the sun rose, Yao Yi came down from downstairs. She was holding the box containing the doll tightly in her hand.

Fu Chuan was already waiting at the door. He was standing next to the bicycle. His slender figure could not be concealed by his baggy school uniform, and he looked even taller in the hazy white mist of the early morning.

“Fu Chuan.” Yao Yi was a little excited for some reason, and the tone of voice she used to call him was full of joy.

Originally, while standing there alone, Fu Chuan was surrounded by coldness. Hearing her call, he raised his eyebrows and saw that it was Yao Yi. There was a trace of warmth on his face, and even the coldness dissipated a lot.
