Obviously, the mean reporter didn't want to let the news go.

Seeing Ning Yixiao supporting Su Hui and trying to leave, he immediately stepped forward to block it.

"excuse me, you are……"

Ning Yixiao glanced at him, expressionless and cold, "Get out of the way."

The other party was obviously shocked by his low pressure and eyes, and was taken aback.

"Which reporter are you from? What's your name?" Ning Yixiao had a strong aura, looking down at him and the nameplate of the magazine on his chest.

"I……"

Ning Yixiao was impatient to listen to him, with an indifferent attitude, looking past him to the curator beside him, "Kesha, please send me the personal information of this reporter."

"Okay, then I'll give it to Eddy."

When the reporter heard this, he was a little anxious, "You!"

"Aren't you curious about who I am?" Ning Yixiao even showed a hint of sarcasm in his tired eyes, and left the crowd with Su Hui in his arms, "My lawyer will contact you."

When leaving the preparation exhibition hall, there was a lot of discussion behind her. Keisha didn't expect that things would develop like this because of these unprofessional reporters. She was a little annoyed, but she still dealt with them patiently.

Su Hui's illness is very clear to Ning Yixiao. The most uncomfortable situation is turning from mania to depression. This will make him fall into hell at the happiest and most exuberant moment. The impact and contrast can almost instantly shake him. overwhelmed.

Most of the time, there is no sign or reason for such a change. It is unknown whether today was affected by the reporter's question, but the moment the other party asked that question, Ning Yixiao did not intend to let him go.

He helped Su Hui out and stopped when he heard the vibration of Su Hui's pocket phone. After seeing the reporter's message from Kesha, he immediately forwarded it to himself and handed it to Charles.

After finishing all this, Ning Yixiao put his arms around Su Hui, walked slowly, trying to match Su Hui's pace as much as possible, brought him to the tea room on the first floor, closed the door, and supported him to sit against the wall.

At this time, his coldness just now completely faded away, and he was as gentle as another person.

Su Hui sat on the chair, his eyes were dim, and there was almost only a heavy shell left. He couldn't hear or feel anything. The passion and joy that ran through his blood a few minutes ago completely disappeared. The self-confidence and joy that I once had are gone.

He no longer felt proud or content, had any dream-fulfilled happiness in this beautiful art gallery, but was weighed down and suffocated by self-doubt.

Are the things I made really eligible to be placed here?Those garbage-like, uncreative things, stacked waste, scraps of paper, and defective products with no aesthetic value, why should they be placed here majestically to attract people to watch?

Su Hui's mind was filled with these bad thoughts.

Obviously, he devoted a lot of time and energy to this solo exhibition, building it up from scratch, bit by bit, but on the most critical day, he lit a fire himself and burned all the achievements.

Everything was ruined, everyone's efforts were ruined by him.

He almost wanted to choke his own throat and destroy himself.

The gloomy mood was like a snow mountain, ruthlessly overwhelming Su Hui, leaving him with cold despair.

"Su Hui."

Ning Yixiao squatted in front of him, held his hand, and offered him a glass of warm water, "Do you want a drink?"

It took Su Hui twice as long to respond.

He shook his head.

Ning Yixiao took the boiled water, raised his hand to stroke his cheek, looked at him, and said softly, "It's okay, it's not an important matter, don't worry about the interview, I will come forward to solve it. Just treat it as an early interview." It's over, and then we don't have a job, right?"

Su Hui couldn't say anything, he even felt that Ning Yixiao was forced to show up and solve these troubles that had nothing to do with him because of himself, because of his flaws.

His appearance in the depression period is always ruthless and lifeless, but Ning Yixiao is very clear that this is not because he doesn't want to respond, but because his thinking is exhausted to the point that it hardly works, and all he can think of is negative things .

Ning Yixiao sat beside him, pulled Su Hui into her arms, stroked his back tenderly, didn't speak anymore, just comforted him quietly.

In his warm embrace, Su Hui felt a fine pain, and in the long silence, he finally couldn't stand it, and spoke harshly to himself with difficulty.

"Ning Yixiao, I messed up again, it's all ruined..."

Ning Yixiao stopped his self-attribution, "No, that's not the case."

He said to Su Hui in a very firm tone, "You didn't mess up anything. The interview just now is not important at all, Su Hui, what matters is not the media, but your work, and those who come to the exhibition."

"But what I did is nothing...it's of no value..." Su Hui's hands grabbed Ning Yixiao's clothes on the back, as if grabbing a life-saving straw.

"I don't think so." Ning Yixiao lowered his head and whispered in his ear, "Even if I'm not your boyfriend, I will be shocked to see this exhibition without any emotional factors. Of course , I’m not a professional, so I can’t give professional comments, but it’s really beautiful and amazing, and it completely made me feel the impact of art, isn’t this the greatest value for ordinary people?”

But Su Hui shook her head in his arms without saying a word.

"Why are you shaking your head?" Ning Yixiao said with an indistinct warmth in his voice, "You think I'm lying? But I just promised, I won't lie to you." He took Su Hui's hand and interlocked his fingers .

Su Hui's lips moved, her throat was dry and she couldn't make a sound.

He knew that he was now like a person who wanted to die, step by step towards the gray sea, and Ning Yixiao was the one who ran over to hold him back regardless of his own safety, and was his only savior.

Ning Yixiao was very patient, "Do you think that I like you, so what I say is not objective?"

Su Hui's strength in grabbing him was a little bit heavier, like a signal that was hard to detect, but Ning Yixiao accurately received it.

"You really think so?"

Ning Yixiao smiled, "Student Xiao Su has improved, at least at this time you still know that I like you very much."

Su Hui is very wooden, like a piece of apologetic ice, knowing that she is very cold and difficult to melt, so she becomes more and more sad.He leaned on Ning Yixiao's shoulder, his weak breathing seemed to be absent, and it was difficult to maintain.

Ning Yixiao gently caressed Su Hui's neck with his fingertips, "You know what? Actually, I am really touched today, but every time this happens, I feel that my ability to express emotions is too poor, and there is nothing I can do about it." To convey to you how happy I am, but I also believe that you will understand, after all, when we first met each other, you saw through me, because you are very powerful and empathetic."

"Su Hui, I have lived until now. In the past twenty years or so, only a small part of happiness was given to me by you. I didn't understand it before. I thought happiness would be obtained after success. I just realized that success can’t offset the pain of the past. But today, standing in front of that space-time capsule, I really have a strong feeling that I am indeed loved, and it is a deep and good love. Only these can Make up for the hardships you have suffered in the past."

"Everything you gave me today is like a dream."

Ning Yixiao paused for a moment, then smiled self-deprecatingly, "When I was young, I didn't dare to have such a good dream."

Su Hui's shoulders trembled slightly, and tears fell into Ning Yixiao's arms.

He thought of Ning Yixiao's embarrassing childhood, the hardships and ups and downs that tortured him.

"You...don't be sad..."

Su Hui's voice was suppressed from crying.

Hearing these words, Ning Yixiao's heart seemed to be tightened by an invisible thin thread, making it difficult to breathe.

He hugged Su Hui cherishingly, his voice was very soft, restraining his emotions, "You are not a stupid kitten, please let me not be sad."

Obviously the most sad thing right now is yourself.

Su Hui couldn't even feel sad anymore, he couldn't feel anything.His thoughts curled up into a tiny dot, crushed by his emotions, leaving only a strand of gossamer, which was his response to Ning Yixiao and the only connection with the outside world.

Ning Yixiao hugged him quietly, thinking of her gift.In fact, this is not a suitable opportunity, maybe you should choose to send it when you are happy, so that you can reap the energetic smile on Su Hui's face, and only then can you hear him say "I like it so much".

But at the moment, none of that matters.

Now is the best time to use this gift.

Ning Yixiao freed one hand, found a small box from his pocket, opened it with one hand, and took out the contents.

"Su Hui, in fact, I came here today to give you a small gift."

He said softly, "Today is your first solo exhibition, which is very memorable, so I also brought my first product. This is the starting point of my career. Without it, there would be nothing later."

Su Hui struggled to break away from Ning Yixiao's embrace, lowered her eyebrows, and saw the gift lying in his palm.

It was a slender silver metal bracelet with a delicate Mobius ring design, and a pair of small wireless earphones.

"Can I help you put it on?" Ning Yixiao asked softly.

Su Hui nodded slowly, and let him take his hand, put on the bracelet, and put on the earphones.For a moment, a series of flowing fluorescent blue dots flashed on the frosted metal bracelet, and then disappeared little by little as if exhausted, leaving only a dot of light in the end, beating dully.

Ning Yixiao held his hand.

"The number of this light point represents the emotional value that the system can monitor. The lower the level, the smaller the number."

Su Hui looked at the solitary light, as if he saw himself.

"Look, even though you are very depressed, you still work hard to maintain it, which means you are very strong." Ning Yixiao touched his bracelet, and in the next second, Su Hui suddenly heard a voice.

A voice very similar to Ning Yixiao's.

[Good morning kitty, welcome to empathyS, glad to be your emotional listener, you don't look very happy, want to chat with me? ]

Su Hui froze for a moment, then looked at Ning Yixiao with a frown.

"he……"

"Him?" Ning Yixiao encouraged him to continue talking.

"Why do you know who I am..." Su Hui felt confused, obviously he had never used it before.

Ning Yixiao showed a gentle smile, "Because this is for you."

"I have set up several titles for the system, including Kitty, Xiaohui, and Suhui, all of which are you." Ning Yixiao looked into his eyes, "This product has only been used by you since it was born. or, no one else."

Misty water appeared in Su Hui's eyes, but he didn't blink, as if he was afraid that this was all his fantasy, and soon his eyes were red.

He pointed to his ear and tried to speak, "He... sounds like you."

Ning Yixiao nodded, "It's me. I recorded many, many recordings, different sentences, both in Chinese and English, and put them all into the training database. The speech model has been updated for several generations and trained countless times. Now the The effect is already very close to my voice, isn't it?"

Su Hui had a sore nose and nodded, "It's very similar to..."

Ning Yixiao touched his cheek, "Actually, I first thought of doing this because of a dream."

"I dreamed of you when I was a child, thirteen or fourteen years old, you told everyone that you were sad, but they couldn't understand, you were very depressed, and finally locked yourself in a small dark room secretly Tears. When I woke up, I thought, I wish I was there to tell you, I can understand your emotions."

Ning Yixiao smiled, "Although we had already broken up at that time, and I don't know if there will be a chance to meet again in this life, or we may never meet again, but after waking up, I still did not hesitate and wrote down the original idea in the In the document, starting from a paragraph in that document, a little bit of conception, step by step implementation with algorithms, and finally become the product you see now."

Many people are not optimistic about his ideas.Ning Yixiao took this gift for the kitten and faced obstacles countless times in front of investors who pursued profits, but never lost heart.

He had never been so convinced that he would succeed.

But this idea, which was regarded as a castle in the air by many people, did later on open the door to Ning Yixiao's career, paving the way for the value of his life.

The early recognition effect was not ideal, and the response mechanism was not good enough. After countless updates, it gradually formed the current [resonance].

Like Ning Yixiao, from not understanding at the beginning, she gradually understood Su Hui's heart and sympathized with him.

"I actually hope that even if we have no intersection in the future. But when you are sad, when you walk into a store, you will see such a bracelet, and then you will hear a voice listening to your emotions carefully. can help you."

It was a roundabout hug.

For this reason, Ning Yixiao worked and managed very hard, and treated this project almost harshly. He was extremely eager to realize such a small wish, which can be regarded as the second best thing in life.

When Ning Yixiao talked about it, he was very calm, as if he didn't put in too much effort.He chuckled, "But this is the only one in the world. It was trained with my voice, because I'm not very professional. Other commercial products are recorded by special consultants. It's only for you, I think. Using my own voice, even though this gift, there is a probability that I will not be able to give it in my lifetime."

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand to wipe away the tears on Su Hui's face.At this time, Su Hui realized belatedly that she had already burst into tears.

A familiar voice came from the ear.

[Are you sad now?Remember, I am always with you. ]

Su Hui broke down in tears, "I... I'm sorry..."

The two very similar voices overlapped, like the echo from his empty heart.

"Why do you say sorry?"

[Why do you say sorry? ]

Ning Yixiao took him into his arms and kissed the top of his hair, "Don't say I'm sorry, you're just sick and you haven't done anything wrong. You are the best person in the world."

Hearing his confession, Su Hui at this moment is deeply in the mud, thinking that she is not worthy of his treatment at all. There are so many people in this world, and many people are more worthy of being loved than herself, but Ning Yixiao Only seeing him, being trapped by him.

Those numb emotions melted little by little, almost venting.Su Hui got rid of the gloom engraved in the genes, and said with difficulty, "Ning Yixiao, I'm not good at all, you..."

Ning Yixiao didn't speak, but the voice in the earphone answered instead of him.

A sentence he once said, under the precise calculation, was reproduced by artificial intelligence again.

[Little cat, don't chase me away. ]

In an instant, Su Hui returned to the moment six years ago, saved by Ning Yixiao's embrace, and the last line of defense was completely defeated.

He cried and repeated his lover's name, "Ning Yixiao..."

Ning Yixiao hugged Su Hui's trembling body. Six years had passed, and after experiencing separation and reunion, he was no longer the old self who was so unfamiliar even to persuade him to stay, and no longer had only one plea.

"Su Hui, I believe in the theory of parallel time and space. Maybe there really is a timeline without you. Ning Yixiao there is very miserable. What should be lost will still be lost. The established starting point of life will not change. I only feel poverty. And pain, and the love I have received is pitiful. If you are not here, everything that belongs to me will not exist. My career, my happiness, and the direction I work hard for will all be nothingness."

"Now I own you in this world, so I have everything."

"Lucky, right?"
