Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy

Chapter 296 Since ancient times, stone demons have been the most alluring.

In the quiet room, on the table, a small, exquisitely carved figure peeked out, observed the distance between the table and the ground, and then shrank back in fright.

Just as the little figure was about to return to its original position, the moment it stood up and turned around, the gleaming, smooth tabletop finally lived up to its spotless, reflective appearance. The little figure's stone foot slipped, and it instantly did a split, its right leg slamming backward and leaving it suspended in mid-air. Caught off guard, Yu Liu shifted her weight backward, and the entire carved little figure slid down the smooth tabletop. The little figure thrashed about in fear, and just as it was about to crash to the ground, Yu Liu finally reacted and summoned Bai Yun, who hadn't appeared for a long time.

A small white cloud, about the size of a pillow, appeared out of nowhere and nestled close to the spot where Yu Liu was about to land. The carved little figure crashed straight into the cloud with a dull thud, so small that it went unnoticed.

Yu Liu struggled to her feet from the white cloud, which could no longer lift her and could only provide a temporary respite.

Looking up at the tall table, Yu Liu gave up on the idea of ​​going back to the table. She took small steps and circled the whole house from where she had fallen, getting familiar with the surroundings. Finally, she quietly pressed her face against the door of the study and peeked through the crack into the room.

Hua Zihao sat in front of the computer in the study, his eyes fixed intently on the screen, his hands flying across the keyboard. A string of code flashed across the screen from time to time, leaving Yu Liu dumbfounded.

"...A hacker, huh? I didn't expect Aning to know this stuff this time..."

She sighed softly.

Because the person has shrunk in size, their voice has also become several decibels softer, making it almost impossible to hear unless you listen carefully.

After typing the last letter and completing the production, Hua Zihao packaged up his work from the past few days and sent it to his subordinates, ending his work for the day.

He stretched in his swivel chair, rubbing his sore neck with both hands, and slowly stood up, clearly intending to go out.

Yu Liu immediately tensed up. She left the study, looked around, and hid herself on the side of the sofa.

I'm not ready to face A-Ning yet, but I can't go back to the table now. A-Ning will definitely look for the missing ornament, and if she finds it, we'll have to face each other. I can't keep pretending anymore. What should I say to A-Ning later?

Yu Liu was extremely nervous, her little hands gripping the sofa as she secretly watched Hua Zihao's movements.

After working for a while, Hua Zihao lost his curiosity about the bloodstone ornament his father had given him. He first poured himself a glass of water, drank it, and then came back.

He first turned on the TV, then looked at the gift boxes and ornaments on the table, and then, for once, he was stunned.

What about the decorative items?

If I remember correctly, when I first entered the study, the object was still on the table, right? That object was completely made of stone, weighing at least two pounds. Unless someone moved it, it would be impossible for the ornament to be moved, unless it had become a spirit.

If that's the case, then someone must have been here. To be able to appear in my neighborhood so quietly, this person must be quite capable. Could it be an assassin sent by that woman? If it was an assassin, why did they only touch the ornaments and not take the opportunity to attack me?

Hua Zihao rested his chin on his hand and thought seriously for a while. Just when Yu Liu thought he would look down to look for her, he calmly touched himself, took out his phone from his pocket, unlocked it, and tapped a few times.

Yu Liu couldn't see the content on her phone; she could only bite her fingernails, inwardly accusing Hua Zihao of not caring about her. Little did she know, the phone screen was quietly playing a replay of everything that had happened since Hua Zihao left.

Seeing that the carved figurine had truly come to life and could even walk around, Hua Zihao was genuinely astonished. Having received over a decade of materialistic education, and as a boy who believed in science, Hua Zihao's worldview collapsed in that instant, only to be quickly rebuilt by a small, bloodstone-carved figurine.

Is this a fairy?

Father... sent me a fairy...

She looks so much like her new deskmate. Is her new deskmate a human version of her?

If so, Father…

No wonder.

In a flash, Hua Zihao had figured out all the relationships involved and roughly understood his father's good intentions.

The little figure on the screen was still peeking around, completely unaware that a pinhole camera was hidden right next to her, and all her actions had been exposed.

Hua Zihao found it amusing, and a faint smile appeared on his usually expressionless face, his eyes, which had been like a stagnant pool, suddenly became lively.

He finally started to look like a young man.

But Yu Liu was unaware of all this. As time passed, her anxiety grew. Why wasn't Hua Zihao coming to find her? Was his phone that attractive? She was indignant, worried about how she would meet Hua Zihao, concerned about his attitude, and dissatisfied with his current actions. All sorts of thoughts swirled in her mind, but her expression remained unchanged.

The little girl's eyes were very expressive, and Hua Zihao could see it clearly through the screen. Her expression at that moment should be a face full of chubby puffs, which would definitely be adorable. This thought suddenly popped into his mind.

Looking at the expressionless, slightly sallow face on the screen, Hua Zihao concealed his disappointment, turned off his phone, and stood up from the sofa under Yu Liu's tense yet expectant gaze.

Then, with the TV on, he stepped into the bathroom.

Yuliu:......

She couldn't help but start to doubt herself: was she really that unimportant?

As something I just received, and given to me by my most hated father, it seems...it really isn't that important...

Yu Liu held her head in her hands and squatted down on the ground in dejection.

In the bathroom, Hua Zihao faced his phone screen and couldn't resist poking it, his eyes filled with the smile of a successful prank.

Under the cover of the sound of running water, he quietly slipped through the bathroom door, which was not closed at all, and entered the living room.

"Very sad?"

The boy's cold voice rang in her ears, and Yu Liu was so frightened that she trembled and sat down on the ground with a thud.

She looked up at the boy in front of her in astonishment. He was still the same as before he went into the bathroom. The sound of running water was still there, but obviously, he hadn't taken a shower.

"When...when did you find me? And were you playing me?"
