Lin Chen had no idea what was happening behind him and had no leisure to pay attention.

His whole mind was focused on the puppet maid by his side.

Vivian was so adorable!

Her golden, slightly curled, and silky long hair, her large eyes like innocent green jade, her fair cheeks, her delicate maid outfit, and the lovely kokoshnik headpiece on top of her head, all exuded an extraordinary cuteness.

Perhaps it was because she was not human but a doll that gave her this extraordinarily beautiful and somewhat unreal feeling.

It felt like he was dreaming and would lose her once he woke up.

Is this what love feels like?

Damn it, how should he start a conversation with her?!

"No need for some lame dialogue like 'The weather is nice today!'" he thought to himself. What should he do?!

He felt like an ant on a hot plate, anxiously going around in circles.

Lin Chen felt his heart pound and his hand holding Vivian's fingers get sweaty, and more importantly...

Vivian seemed to have noticed!

She seemed to have noticed that Lin Chen had been secretly looking at her.

Whenever she looked at him with questioning eyes, Lin Chen would shyly turn his head away to avoid making eye contact.

"Does the Master..."

Her soft lips slightly opened, and a beautiful voice flowed from the doll's throat.

The content made Lin Chen's heart skip a beat.

Does Vivian realize that he has feelings for her? Otherwise, he should just gather his courage...

"Is there anything the Master is unsatisfied with about me?" Vivian finally mustered up her courage and poured out everything she wanted to say.

"Huh? No. No, absolutely not! Vivian, you are so wonderful, and I like you so much... I'm running out of time to say it."

After saying that, Lin Chen also awkwardly scratched his cheek.

"Oh, right!"

It suddenly occurred to Lin Chen that he had been stealing glances at Vivian while aimlessly walking on the street for a very long time.

In his heart, he only hoped that the road could stretch a little longer, so he could admire Vivian's cute appearance a bit more.

Now the sky was already getting dark.

"Let's find a place to stay first!"

"Alright, may I ask what type of hotel the Master would prefer?" Vivian asked seriously.

It felt too serious, creating a sense of distance...

"Just... something relatively cheap would do."

Lin Chen scratched his cheek. After all, he had spent all his money gambling on Puppet earlier.

"I understand. We passed by four hotels on the way just now, and one of them should meet the Master's needs. Shall we go back?"

"Okay, I'll follow your lead." Lin Chen touched the doll girl's head. "Speaking of which, Vivian, you have a great memory."

"Thank you for your praise."

It was still a very polite conversation. What should he do? Should he confess and break the ice?

Lin Chen looked up and noticed the signboard of a hotel ahead.

"We have arrived at our place to stay. Anyway, let's... let's take a good bath and relax!"

Does he mean... that kind of thing?

Indeed, this young man wasn't strange in any way. His previous peculiar actions - making a contract with an F-ranked her, protecting her from harm...

All of these could be explained by common knowledge she knew -

As a doll maid, Vivian naturally knew about the fate her companions suffered.

Although she had just appeared in this world, she had been implanted with relevant practical memories through magic.

Language proficiency, basic common knowledge, as well as the master-servant relationship with humans...

These were all like animal instincts, engraved deep in her soul.

She knew that doll maids with ambiguous status rarely engaged in the actual work of maids.

Nobles preferred to employ actual humans as maids, giving them a sense of superiority.

Poor families could not afford maids either.

So most of the doll maids ended up becoming playthings of humans.But that's her destiny.

She is a humanoid puppet, destined to be a tool, no matter in what aspect.

As long as she can make herself useful, she can exist as a subordinate to humans in this world.

Otherwise, she will only have a tragic fate of being disposed of.

"Yes, Master."

Vivian bit her lip and followed behind Lin Chen.

However, the second half of Vivian's words immediately made Lin Chen blush, his tongue seemed to be twisted, unable to speak at all-

"Although it's my first time, I will strive to satisfy Master."
