Metaphysics Live Room: The host is the contract husband

Xia Dongmei weighed over 200 pounds, so it was easy for her to subdue a middle school kid. She pushed him to the ground and yelled, "Eat, eat, eat! Look at how fat you are now."

"I told you not to eat it, but you didn't understand. What are you making such a fuss about? Don't think I didn't notice that you copied your summer homework today."

"Go back and see how your dad handles you. I'm so pissed off I can't control you anymore."

When Pang Chong heard that he would have to tell his father when he got home, he was so scared that he begged for mercy: "Mom, I'm really wrong. Please don't tell Dad. At worst, I'll just not cheat on my homework in the future."

I struggled to get up and cried, "If Dad knew, he would definitely take my computer away. I wouldn't have a computer anymore. Mom, I know I was wrong."

"I won't eat hamburgers either. I'll be obedient from now on."

Xia Dongmei was skeptical: "Really?"

Pang Chong nodded repeatedly: "Really, I will go run more when I get back. Let's not go to the hamburger shop. Let's go, go..."

He glanced around and suddenly stopped, pointing to the street across the street: "Mom, let's go to the doll shop across the street and use the money we saved for today's hamburgers to buy dolls. This way, when I see the dolls, I'll know I need to lose weight."

"A doll shop?"

Xia Dongmei looked across and murmured, "When was there a doll shop across the street? I don't remember seeing it before. Could it be that it opened recently?"

Pang Chong was afraid that she would keep harping on his homework, and when his computer was gone, how would he play games?

I got up, took her hand and crossed the street, and took her directly to the doll shop: "Look, Mom, let's choose a doll. Just use it as a reminder for me to lose weight and do my homework well."

"Well, let's see."

Xia Dongmei looked at the dolls in the store. The overall color tone was very dark, as if they were hidden in the shadows. Her eyes fell on the dolls with strange postures, and she walked closer to take a look.

There was a faint crying sound, which was a bit shrill and weird. The listeners' scalps felt numb, their bodies couldn't help but tremble, and they had a bad premonition in their hearts.

"Son, there's no one in this store. Why don't we go to another one? This one feels so eerie."

As soon as he finished speaking, a man's voice came.

"What doll does the guest want to see?"

Xia Dongmei heard the voice and looked over. There was a young man standing at the counter. He was wearing a black robe, like the ones worn during the Republic of China period. The decoration of the store was also not very modern.

"When were you here?"

"You're joking, customer. I've been waiting at the counter the whole time. You want to see dolls? The dolls here are very lifelike, right? Take a look and see which one you like."

The boss came out from the counter, took them to the doll cabinet, and began to give a brief introduction.

"Now I know. If you like anyone, tell me and I'll introduce them to you."

Xia Dongmei said nonchalantly, "These are just dead objects. How can there be so many true stories about them? They are just tricking children. It's ridiculous to help people realize their wishes."

"Let me tell you, you can make up those stories, but you can't use them to sell dolls at a high price. I won't buy them if the price is too high."

The man still had that same smiling face; the curve of his mouth and the fine lines and wrinkles at the corners of his eyes hadn't changed at all. Rather than being a living person, he looked more like a talking... puppet.

"It depends on what the baby wants. If the baby agrees, then a low price is fine. If the baby doesn't want to, then I won't sell it to you at any price."

After hearing this, Ma Dongmei felt that he was a liar even more.

She said to her son angrily, "What dolls are you looking at? Why would a boy like you need a doll? This store looks creepy. I'm telling you, I won't buy anything over fifty yuan."

Pang Chong nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I got it, Mom. Fifty dollars is better for buying a doll than a hamburger, right? Didn't you say I'm too fat and you don't allow me to eat hamburgers?"

"Well, then you can see which one you like."

The little fat boy walked around the store but didn't see anything he particularly liked. When he was about to tell his mother to leave, he heard a very nice little girl's voice.

"Brother, don't go. Don't you want Xinxin? If you take me home, I can help you realize your wish."

Suddenly hearing the voice, Xiaopang stopped and looked around: "Where are you?"

[Shh, only my brother can hear Xinxin's voice. You can talk to me in your heart without saying it out loud.]

Xia Dongmei looked at her son strangely: "Son, who are you talking to?"

Pang Chong hurriedly shook his head: "Nothing, Mom, I want to see the baby again, can you wait here for me?"

As he said this, he broke free from her hand and said to himself: Xinxin, where are you? You are a doll and you can actually talk. It’s so cool. I like you very much and I can take you home.

[Okay, go along the shelf and find the third row on the far left. The one in the red skirt at the back is me.]

[Yeah, I understand. Please wait for me.]

Pang Chong didn't feel scared at all, he just felt excited and cool. It was amazing that the doll could talk. If other people knew, they would definitely envy him.

Following the instructions, I found it quickly. It was a little girl wearing red Hanfu. She didn't have the weird expressions on her face like the other dolls. She looked very pretty with a smile on her face.

"Wow, you're so beautiful."

[Thank you, little brother. You look great too. Now you can take Xinxin home. I'll be with you from now on. We will be the closest people in the world.]

[You can let Xinxin do anything you don't like. You just need to do what you like. Xinxin will help you make everyone around you like you, okay?]

[Wow, that's amazing. What should I do then?]

[You don't need to do anything. If you encounter something you don't want to do, just give your body to Xinxin and she will do it for you. You can just temporarily take her place.]

[After doing something that my brother doesn't like, Xinxin will return to the doll's body. This will make my brother happy.]

【Wow, that's cool. I like it.】

Pang Chong's eyes lit up: "Come on, I'll take you home. From now on, we'll be a family. You are me, and I am you."

Holding the doll in hand, he asked, "Uncle, how much is this doll?"

"Well, I'll ask the doll."

"Oh, she said you can take it back for free, but you have to sign a contract for me to adopt the baby for free. It says you have to treat the baby well and be like one of your own family members when you get home."

The robed man had an expression that seemed carved into his face.

"Come, take a look at the contract. If there's nothing wrong with it, you can sign it."

Xia Dongmei suddenly panicked and said hurriedly, "Wait, what does this contract mean? Don't sign anything for my child. How much does it cost to buy it?"

"Dear customer, if you want to buy it, it will cost you one thousand yuan. Xinxin is a very special doll in our store. It can bring good luck to people. Naturally, the price is a bit higher."
