I went to the downstairs department to deliver materials, and met Lao Yang when I passed the smoking room.Qiao Yichen went up excitedly and wanted to exchange experience with him on using the robot, but found that Student Yang had long since lost the leisurely look he had a few days ago.He was smoking a cigarette in a trance, his eyes were blank, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Just chatted with him a few words.When mentioning his robot, Qiao Yichen still couldn't hold back his elated tone.Yang Haorui just smiled softly and said, "It's the same as when I first bought it. The newly bought mobile phone will still be used for two days. Don't worry, you won't be like this in a month."

Qiao Yichen was not convinced, and replied: "Don't think that everyone loves the new and dislikes the old like you."

"Don't believe me. Don't come to me and cry."

"Cry for your uncle."

Yang Haorui pinched out the cigarette, patted himself on the shoulder, said some inexplicable words, and walked away.

"Don't pay too much attention to those man-made things. They are... all heartless things."

Back home, there are still hot meals and a spotless room.Georgia stood by the wall expressionlessly.Qiao Yichen didn't sleep well last night, and he was a little dazed, so he didn't bother to talk to the robot.After he took two mouthfuls of food, he realized that Georgia was still standing where he was, not moving.Thinking of what Lao Yang said during the day, Qiao Yichen murmured in his heart.If he doesn't open his mouth, he won't sit or eat, and won't even say a word.

I suddenly felt a little tired. It turned out that we ate and chatted together a few days ago, and made jokes, all of which were my own wishful thinking.This is in line with what Lao Yang said, something that is originally artificial intelligence, why am I messing around like an idiot here.Maybe that guy might not even remember what happened yesterday after the mainframe is updated after charging at night.The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became, Qiao Yichen simply picked up the bowl and ate in silence.In this way, the robot didn't say a word until the night when I turned off the lights and climbed into bed.Qiao Yichen poked his head out from under the quilt, and secretly looked at the wall, hey, isn't that guy still sitting and charging.

Unhappy with the weird atmosphere at home, Qiao Yichen decided to finish dinner outside before going back.At the beginning, I took colleagues and friends to eat together, but within a few days, I was the only one left.After eating a hamburger alone in a fast food restaurant, Qiao Yichen couldn't help but feel that something was wrong with him, and he insisted on looking for a sense of presence in an electronic product.Even if it's a computer, it won't run on its own without instructions.It is said that the computer is running on its own, okay?Aren't robots the same thing?It's just a piece of human skin.No wonder the store owner had an alarmist expression on his face at that time, saying don't treat it as a human being.It seems that I made this mistake unconsciously from the beginning.It's not your "roommate" at all, nor does it qualify as a "servant."After all, it’s just a “tool”.

Back home, the robot has been silently charged.Today, instead of sitting on a chair, it stood facing a corner, looking like a mannequin about to hit a wall at first glance.Qiao Yichen sighed, and wanted to get a can of beer from the refrigerator, only to find that the refrigerator was full of leftover meals from the previous few days.Alas, if you don't tell it not to cook, it won't know how to stop.Sure enough, it is something to write a fixed program.Throw away the empty can after drinking, and the aluminum can makes a rare crisp sound in the trash can.I took a closer look, and it was strange that there was a broken plate in the trash can?

Will the robot accidentally smash the plate?Is there something wrong with any part.Do you want to send it to the store another day for the boss to check and check.

The next day Qiao Yichen decided to go home early.I was in a hurry to go out in the morning and forgot to tell it not to make dinner.The leftovers in the refrigerator are estimated to be enough to feed myself for a week.When I got home, I opened the door and saw that thing was already busy in the kitchen.

"Hey!"

Qiao Yichen yelled at the thing.

"I said, if you see so much leftovers, don't you think about making new ones?"

First sentence in a week.

The robot in the apron turned his head, still with an unpredictable expression on his face. He wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth halfway and then stopped.

"..."

The look of frowning became more and more tangled.Seeing that it still didn't make a sound, Qiao Yichen simply waved his hand and said, "Alright, you can continue."

The sound of chopping vegetables sounded again.

Qiao Yichen was bored, so he just lay down on the sofa and watched TV.TV shows are also very boring, the screen is full of celebrities cheating, companies going bankrupt and so on, there is no nutrition at all.Changing tables back and forth, Qiao Yichen suddenly heard a muffled noise from the kitchen, and then the sound of cutting vegetables stopped abruptly.

What's going on this is.What is this guy doing again?Qiao Yichen got up and walked to the kitchen.Georgia saw herself coming, but for some reason, she looked at a loss.

"What's wrong?" Qiao Yichen couldn't help but soften his tone, and asked it with his head tilted.Following its line of sight, the chopping board was covered with cabbage leaves, and there were four bloody fingers.

***

"I'm sorry..." In the back seat of the taxi, the robot was still trying to explain, "but I'm really fine."

"Don't talk to me!" Qiao Yichen was furious.

I still remember just now, when Qiao Yichen saw his severed finger, his mind went blank and he almost sat on the ground.Trembling and wanting to call 120, I realized that it is not human at all.The robot, like a human being, calmly picked up his stump with the bloody left hand and said, "I'm sorry, I'll take it to repair it now. It will be repaired right away."

"Stop!" Qiao Yichen's voice trembled, "Where do you want to go with this appearance?"

The robot said to go back to the store.

Is it serious enough to ask the boss to fix it? "Are you alone, dripping blood like this?"

"I'm fine, and it's not blood, it's just circulating fluid."

I have no energy left to ask what the hell the circulating fluid is.Qiao Yichen picked up the key and said with a calm face, "I'll go with you."

***

As soon as I entered the store, I saw the boss smoking a cigarette on the reclining chair at the door.He looked up at Georgia's red hand, and sighed heavily.

"Sorry……"

Georgia is like a child who meets his parents after playing in the mud and getting his clothes dirty.

"……dad."

Wait a moment.

dad?

Qiao Yichen looked around, but did not see Lele.Are you sure Georgia said the phrase "Dad"?

"Uneasy child..." The boss clicked his tongue and walked into the room frowning.Georgia obediently followed him in.

Qiao Yichen was dumbfounded, always feeling that he knew something important.Before the chaotic mind could figure it out, he found a pair of big bright eyes looking at him with a smile in the shadow behind the door.

Waving to it, Lele obediently walked out with her hands behind her back.Qiao Yichen considered it for a while, and then asked tentatively, "You too...that...uh..."

Lele simply said: "Yes, Xiaoba and I have the same father."

Xiaoba?the same one?dad?

The amount of information is a bit large, and Qiao Yichen obviously has a little brain capacity.

"Don't you humans also call it that? The person who created you is Dad."

This is true.

It turns out that the homeless boss is actually a high-tech talent who can build robots?You can't tell what you look like.No, it should be said that it was really 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi.A senior intellectual who can be called a scientist has been reduced to this appearance.

"Xiao Ba looks very sad."

Lele looked straight at herself.

sad?

By the way, do robots have hearts?

"How did you see it?"

"At any rate, they are the same kind, and this change can still be noticed."

Can the same kind be aware of it, but not yourself?

Seeing that he was silent, Lele turned around and wanted to leave, Qiao Yichen hurriedly called to it.

"Wait a minute, that..."

"?"

Not thinking about what to say, Qiao Yichen hmmed for a long time, and finally asked this sentence.

"Do you know... what circulatory fluid is?"

"Well. It's for lubricating joints."

"Will it flow out after being injured?"

"Cycle, for sure."

"What happens when the flow is over?"

"The joints wear out and then break down."

This damn Georgia, it's okay to say nothing.Isn't this a serious matter?

Lele said to go to see Xiaoba, then "thumped" and walked away.Qiao Yichen originally wanted to go down to have a look, but he didn't expect that the door with a combination lock at the end of the corridor was closed so tightly that not even a hair could be inserted through it.Qiao Yichen had no choice but to find a chair in the store and sit down, staring blankly at the dark sky outside the window.

I don't know how long it took, but it was so long that Qiao Yichen thought he had fallen asleep, and the sky turned pink.Finally, the sound of angry footsteps came from below, and the shop owner kicked the door open, with a tired and annoyed look on his face, he ignored him and went straight up to the second floor.Qiao Yichen was like a headless chicken, not knowing whether to go up to find him or go downstairs by himself.At this time, I saw Lele standing by the door and beckoned to me.

Follow it down to the basement and into the familiar room with the console on which Georgia lay.The fingers have been connected, just like the legs connected before, without any traces at all.

It didn't shut down, and sat up when it saw itself coming in, but still didn't speak.

The mood of anger subtly emerged again.Qiao Yichen curled his lips and said bluntly, "It's fixed? Then come back with me."

"..."

The robot made no sound.

"You don't want to go back with me?"

After saying this, Qiao Yichen felt a little angry and aggrieved.

"Taking this opportunity..." it spoke, without any waves in its voice.

"How about picking a robot that you like better?"

Qiao Yichen didn't understand what it meant.

"It was originally my problem, and it failed to meet your requirements. I think Dad will definitely promise to replace it for free."

"what?"

Finally understanding what it was talking about, Qiao Yichen also became angry.

"Who the hell said I'm going to replace you!"

"Don't you want to talk to me?"

"That is--"

Qiao Yichen suddenly thought, could it be that it was silently enduring its own indifference during those relatively silent days?

"It must be that my service is not to your liking, I'm really sorry."

Although it didn't speak in a tone of voice, it still lowered its head and lowered its eyes.

"That's... that's not the case!" Qiao Yichen was angry and anxious.I was so angry that I listened to someone's gossip casually and left it for a long time for no reason.Anxious about why my eloquence is so poor, I will lose the chain at a critical moment.

"It's not you..." Qiao Yichen resolutely said, "You won't talk until I take the initiative to find you...you..." The more you said this, the more confident you became, and in the end it sounded like a mosquito.

"...If I wasn't your master, you wouldn't bother to talk to me."

Even I feel that it is a bit shameless to push the responsibility on it like this.I looked at it secretly, but I didn't expect it to open its eyes wide, looking surprised.

"Yes...what's so strange?" just realized that what he said was the awkward tone of a girl in Huaichun, and thought that he must be out of his mind, Qiao Yichen squinted at Georgia with a hot face.

Its surprised face slowly changed, its eyes softened, and the corners of its mouth slightly raised...

Yes, it smiled.

It felt like seeing a flower bloom with my own eyes.

Actually, I like the one at Yang's house...
