"...After all, they did take them to the police station..."
Doll muttered under her breath.
Wasn't she traumatized now?
"I didn't know you were so sensitive."
Liuli looked surprised.
In her impression, Doll was cheerful, a little ditzy, somewhat carefree, and rather thick-skinned.
She always forgot about unhappy things quickly.
Doll rolled her eyes.
"I've always been very emotional."
Yesterday had really scared her.
She'd never been so frightened before.
At first, she'd truly thought the owner and Master Xiao were going to jail.
But she hadn't been able to do anything.
Especially since she was the one who'd called Master Xiao over.
It had been a completely undeserved disaster.
They'd gotten dragged into it because of her.
She'd been so helpless and upset that she'd cried.
The whole experience had been awful.
She didn't want to think about it at all.
And yet the police officer associated with that terrible memory kept showing up in front of her.
How could she be in a good mood?
"It's all right now."
Liuli patted Doll's hand.
After Doll came back yesterday, she'd told them everything that happened.
Even just hearing about it,
they could feel how tense the situation had been,
and how torn and scared Doll had felt.
Thankfully...
"It's all over now."
"Everything's fine."
Chi Xiuke's eyes curved into a smile.
"Doll, you didn't do anything wrong."
"You don't need to feel uncomfortable."
"...Mm."
Doll murmured in reply.
Then she waved her hands dramatically. "Oh, I'm fine."
"Don't all look at me."
"This is so embarrassing."
It wasn't often she got sentimental.
Couldn't they just let her be a quiet, beautiful young woman for a little while?
Chi Xiuke smiled.
She looked at Xiao Xiao.
"Master Xiao, thank you for helping Doll."
