It's too late to marry a cat [Interstellar]

When Baili came back to inspect the room, he submitted an application to his master, asking Ya Huiquan if he would consider re-opening his nighttime monitoring authority, so that the master bedroom could be included in the AI's comprehensive detection range at night. , in case there is another doubtful situation next time, there will be a 24-hour electronic housekeeper for real-time video recording, which can provide people with effective evidence to distinguish between illusion and reality.

But Yahuiquan rejected Baili's proposal.

At that time, Ya Huiquan had concluded that the hug he felt in a hazy state of consciousness was an illusion, and he told Baili that it was unnecessary, since the scanning ability of artificial intelligence could not detect anything, and the security monitoring of the whole house did not find any signs of infiltration, so he went to I always relax a little at home, and I will automatically relax after entering the default "safe zone" in my heart. I don't want to be suspicious and tense in the rare comfortable space.

"But." Baili tried to raise an objection, and the electronic housekeeper said, "Your reaction and the search order tell me that you are actually very concerned about the matter of 'feeling the presence of another person in your room', and, if this matter It’s not an illusion, it’s real, I read and analyzed your micro-expression, and found that you may not think it’s a bad thing.”

"..." Ya Huiquan paused for a moment, and his gaze swept to the nearest small home appliance. "Is your computing system broken? Where did you draw the conclusion?"

"My computing system is not damaged, young master." Baili first seriously justified his performance, and then he said with reason, "I detected that when you mentioned this matter for the first time, your mood index remained constant. Level, your expression only shows that you are a little confused. When you mention the keyword 'hug', your heart rate fluctuates by 5% to 10%, and your expression remains in a state of confusion. According to what I know about you, It shows that you're not actually in conflict with your experience, you're just wondering about its reality and how it happened."

"..." Yahuiquan said, "It may be that your scanning system and database are broken together. You are an artificial intelligence, how can you lose your mind? Who gave you the illusion that you understand me?"

"I don't think it's an illusion." Baili didn't receive the slightest hint of people wanting to stop here, and the AI, which can't look at people, insisted, "I also draw a conclusion from it, that is——if this person The 'unknown visitor' really exists, and he really visited our home at this special time in the middle of the night, you may welcome him, and you are willing to take the initiative to send an invitation letter to invite him to come from home."

"..."

Humans seem to be finally choked by their own AI. The artificial intelligence with too high autonomous authority catches the owner and drags him all the way, and the owner is silent for as long as a pot of coffee is brewed.

Baili also asked again: "So, are you willing to reopen my authority, let me try to help you track down this 'Mr. Popular', and see if he will visit again?"

Yahuiquan was silent in the slight gurgling sound of coffee boiling. The coffee machine detected that the drink in its stomach was ready, and lifted a corner of the top cover by itself, and hot mist mixed with a lot of aroma factors gushed out immediately.

The white mist frowned for a moment, and then he said: "Don't speak in the tone of telling fairy tales, I have already said that it is an illusion, if he really comes back again, then you can probably prepare for our family Go apply for an award, sign up for this year's "Era of the Stars Supernatural Phenomena" selection - you are noisy enough during the day, you are not allowed to drive, continue to automatically withdraw from the bedroom at night as before, and keep the night shield unchanged."

The electronic butler couldn't disobey his master's instructions, Yahuiquan made his meaning clear and firm, Baili could only sigh, and then he was comforted by Li Dandan, who was listening beside him, and patted him with a pad.

The AI ​​keeps the instructions unchanged, and closes its eyes to the master bedroom at night as usual.

So this night, when whispers with laughter sounded in the room, no one in the family heard it.

"You made Baili miss an opportunity to apply for an award."

"Mr. Welcome" really appeared again, his volume and tone were very light, and a little fuzzy ending scattered into the air, as if he was whispering something to the air.

He quietly appeared next to the sleeping person, offering his arm and one side of his body, while reaching out to protect the other person's head that was about to fall out of the back of the chair, while blocking the same crooked shoulder of Ya Huiquan, Take over part of the opponent's weight.

Yahuiquan fell asleep accidentally because of his mental relaxation. There was a floor lamp near where he was sitting. The headlight in the bedroom had been turned off early. The only light in the room at the moment was provided by this floor lamp with a warmer color temperature. of.

With itself as the apex, the floor lamp casts a fan-shaped soft halo, which just covers the chair by the window and the person on it. Wo Xiu stood aside and watched for a while, feeling that the light was like a filter, bringing With some kind of old film texture, the people trapped in it are softened by more than one point.

Of course, a gentleman may not know what a "film" is at all, and he has never seen such a thing that could enter a museum 1000 years ago and be bought back by antique collectors at a high price.

"What happened today?"

Wo Xiu continued to use that whispering voice to ask the person who was already asleep in front of him. He tried to relax every joint of the hand holding Ya Huiquan's cheek, making the calloused palm as comfortable as possible. Extending all the way along the smooth profile of this person, Xuxu supported his chin together, reducing the hanging of the opponent's neck, and acting as a small neck pillow with body temperature.

The sleeping Yahuiquan would not answer Wo Xiu's question. He closed his eyes, and he was really unsuspecting in the place where he defaulted to safety in his heart.

Fortunately, Wo Xiu had no one to answer, so he was able to continue the conversation - he didn't expect Ya Huiquan to answer at this time.

He looked down at Yahuiquan's sleeping face for a while, and then said to himself: "The cultural meetings related to the ruins may make you feel a little complicated, and unnecessary noisy occasions will make your mood obviously worse, but In general, none of them should be enough to turn you into this."

"In this way" refers to the behavior of this person who took the initiative to quarrel with Baili after returning home today, and the late-night introspection just now.

It is true that Ya Huiquan can face up to his own shortcomings and defects, but he is also proud. His attitude towards his objective shortcomings should be more calm and tough-I have this problem, so?so what?

However, just now, Yahuiquan held the cat in his arms, and while talking, he seemed to reflect on his own personality flaws. At that moment, although he may not have realized it, his emotions were like frost slowly condensing in the night. Falling with a bit of darkness and coolness.

He wasn't too happy and a little down.

"Who stabbed you?" Wo Xiu thought.

Wo Xiu quickly checked the menu in his mind, and found that there were not many options left. He could only point to the private meeting that was deliberately postponed by Ya Huiquan.

That Vice President Ning of the Academy of Arts and Sciences of the Star Alliance seems to want to talk to Ya Huiquan about... the past?

The last four words seemed to have some kind of special power, which caused Wo Xiu's eyes to sink for a moment when he thought of it, but soon he came back to his senses, because the person in his palm had a new change.

Yahuiquan let out a low "huh".

It was a very subtle sound, and the two of them might not be able to catch it even if they were close at hand, but Wo Xiu's round ears with dark strokes on his head moved quickly.

His ears moved faster than all other body parts, as soon as he received the movement, he immediately deflected towards the person in front of him, like a pair of infinitely sensitive plush receivers.

Ya Huiquan slept under the floor lamp for a while. He probably finally felt that the environment was a little brighter in his sleep, which was not like his usual low-light sleep environment. After a light but dissatisfied grunt, he , He turned his face into the "pillow" again, trying to bury himself completely, avoiding the light that was left on for some reason.

Wo Xiu was brushed by the corners of his lips against his fingertips, and then by his eyelashes that moved along with his buried face, across his palms.

Before Wo Xiu could react, Ya Huiquan didn't realize that he was sleeping in the wrong position, didn't feel that the "pillow" was wrong, but he was still thinking about the cat subconsciously, remembering that before he fell asleep, there should be a cat in his arms. There is something fluffy and warm.

Wo Xiu saw Yahuiquan's arms close together, only holding a handful of air, and then his brows were wrinkled, and he didn't open his eyes or wake up, all he had to do was to grope.

Wo Xiu sighed silently, and passed the tail over.

Ya Huiquan touched the familiar fur, and he may have briefly questioned why the "cat" shrank a little in his dream, but after confirming that the other party was beside him, he soon became quiet again.

Wo Xiu: "..."

The cold water bath during the day not only helped to calm the mind and sort out the information, but also took advantage of the opportunity of being completely out of Baili's monitoring, Wo Xiu actually confirmed his own state together.

He still can't be regarded as fully recovered at present, and it won't last long if he tries to change back to human form, and it is easy to retain animal-like characteristics when he turns back into a human-for example, the ears that are shining on the top of his head at the moment, and the ears that can be stretched out forcibly Fill the cat's tail.

"I guess you're not ready to see me like this." Wo Xiu spoke softly after sleeping with Yahuiquan for a while, moving his fingers carefully, paying attention not to wake people up by himself, while pointing his fingertips Rubbing each other's cheeks.

"Okay." He confessed to the sleeping man, "Me neither."

Moreover, he hastily stated that he came back from the dead and returned without making any preparations, which would only complicate the already chaotic situation—whether it was for the two of them or for the Star Alliance who was cooperating with the outside world. It's all about the environment.

"Someone is tirelessly trying to harass you." Wo Xiu said in a low voice, "I'm not very happy either. I will come back as soon as possible and wait for me a little longer."

Yahuiquan didn't hear this promise, and he slept surprisingly peacefully under the supposedly uncomfortable chair and lighting. Wo Xiu thought about taking someone to sleep on the bed, and while he could still maintain his human form, he could directly put him in a more comfortable bed. Place it in a comfortable sleeping environment.

But no matter how relaxed Yahuiquan is, and no matter how unsuspecting he is in the "safe zone", he sleeps completely defenseless. He is just asleep, not in a coma, and the people next to him will wake up if they make a big movement.

That is to say, only if a small change is made to him without changing the overall state of his posture, it will still be considered in his "white list" and will not arouse the alert reaction of this person during his deep sleep.

In the warm light of the floor lamp, Wo Xiu slept with the man until he felt that he was about to transform back into a beast shape.

"Okay, wake up." He helped someone pull the blanket dragged from the end of the bed, and patted the other person's shoulder through the blanket, "Your neck brace and back rest should be temporarily removed, and you can sleep here again." I'm not feeling well, go back to bed."

Yahuiquan suddenly seemed to hear a familiar voice. He was awakened in a gentle and gentle way. When he opened his eyes, he met the cat.

"I'm asleep?"

He muttered and got up, and half of the warm blanket slipped off his body. His sleepy brain stared at the blanket for a moment, and then naturally attributed its origin to the cat.

He seemed to have slept in the company of a familiar atmosphere for a long time, but this did not make Ya Huiquan feel weird, and he took it for granted again to the cat.

On one level, it’s not wrong to blame the cats all over.

The next day, Yahuiquan sent a letter to Pei Langcui, giving the Captain of the Second Wing an opportunity to "make up for his mistakes". He asked the other party to pay attention to the news from the Academy of Arts and Sciences.

At the same time, Wo Xiu began to look for a way to recover as soon as possible, and successfully contacted his old subordinates a week later——
