Chapter 549: Xianqi's Ex-Girlfriend
Xiao Yu raised an eyebrow, passed the sketchbook over, and Qiao Xin took it without changing expression, "This is my drawing, how is it?"
Gangsi Qiu really thought it was her drawing; as he lowered his head, he sounded slightly surprised, "Not bad, you've improved a lot."
It's more than just improvement; compared to her previous style, an ordinary person might really think this is someone else's work.
But for a professional like Gangsi Qiu, a close look reveals that this painting's overall style and brushstroke texture are different from Qiao Xin's previous work.
One could immediately guess that the two might have been taught by the same teacher.
"……" Mu Youyu and her group hadn't signed up for any events, too lazy to linger, she said simply and headed for the school gate.
C University is a semi-open campus; during the sports meet, students are allowed to come and go freely.
Yu Ci followed closely behind, "Where are we going?"
Mu Youyu blinked, "Let's go to my older brother Xianqi's place; he's been asking me to come over and keep him company lately."
Mu Xi hadn't yet picked a restaurant, thought it would be fine to grab a meal there on the way, "Sure."
Soon after, Mu Xi drove the car over; the group split into two cars and headed toward Mu Xianqi's villa.
About half an hour later, the car turned onto a private road; at the end stood an automatic sensing gate, which looked like a high-end gate.
After the license plate was recognized, the gate slid open silently.
The villa's main body differs from the classical style of the Mu Family's old residence; overall it feels modern, with a gray-white facade paired with floor-to-ceiling glass windows, full of technological sense.
Yu Ci peered inside, "Qi Ge, this house is bought in a really remote spot—there isn't even a store around."
Gu Xingnan added lightly: "Tranquil."
Several people walked to the front door; the gate had already opened automatically from inside.
Yu Ci clicked his tongue in amazement: "Truly intelligent."
"Xianqi older brother!"
"Qi Ge."
Mu Xianqi had already received the news that several people were coming; seeing his sister, the corners of his mouth rose uncontrollably, "You came? Come in all of you."
Mu Youyu changed her shoes and entered the interior; the living room adopted a high-ceiling design, making the whole space feel especially spacious, the overall tone cool-toned, with several walls hanging a few of her paintings.
"Qi Ge, you installed this too?" Song Lujing, upon entering, was drawn to the white robot half a person's height by the door.
It stood quietly against the wall, its top indicator light off, its round body surface giving off a matte feel.
Song Lujing took a few steps forward, bent over to look, then reached out and tapped the robot's round head, "How come I didn't see this before when I came?"
Mu Xianqi holds M Guo's top technological resources, is a top tech mogul in the industry, owns multiple companies, specializes in artificial intelligence, and also includes biomimetic robots.
He casually picked up the remote from the coffee table, "A semi-defective product; I've been too lazy to turn it on, today I'm testing its new function with it, so I put it out."
Having said that, he pressed the power button.
A crisp startup prompt sounded, the robot's top blue light flashed on instantly, its round camera scanned the living room, and finally locked onto Mu Xianqi.
A somewhat clumsy mechanical voice slowly sounded: "Master, welcome home. Detected multiple visitors, currently identifying identities automatically……"
Jiang Liangjin looked for a while, commented: "Feels clumsy."
No sooner had the voice finished than the robot snapped its head toward Mu Youyu, its tone suddenly rising and speech speeding up: "Detected the universe's invincibly cute little princess! Welcome, Princess Mingxi!"
"……"
Listening to the robot's endless stream of flattery, Mu Youyu was momentarily speechless.
Song Lujing reacted first, chuckling, "How is this like that glutinous rice ball?"
Mu Xi glanced sideways, "What thing?"
Mu Xianqi leaned back against the sofa with a satisfied smile, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "How is it? This is its new function."
Jiang Liangjin: "Turn it off."
The robot instantly caught the new sound source, turned its head, "Detected a male human, facial expression single, possibly facial paralysis; suggest smiling more, which helps prolong lifespan."
Jiang Liangjin's expression grew colder.
Mu Youyu pressed her lips, forcing back a laugh and pretending nothing was happening.
Yu Ci laughed until his shoulders shook, "Hahaha it's telling you to laugh more."
Song Lujing also couldn't help but laugh, pulling Mu Xi's arm, "Who wrote this robot's program?"
Mu Xi wasn't very interested, "I don't know."
Yu Ci stopped laughing, faced the robot's front, eagerly asking, "Me? Me?"
The robot's blue light flashed faster, obviously searching the database; it hiccuped, its volume noticeably lower: "Data temporarily missing."
Yu Ci's face darkened for an instant, "What's missing, fill in that part for me."
No way? He doesn't even have a single entry in the database? He actually doesn't even have qualification to be entered into the system?
Mu Xianqi leaned against the nearby bar, posture lazy with a light smile, "This isn't my program; probably your priority isn't high enough."
Seeing Yu Ci about to poke it, Mu Xianqi quickly grabbed the remote, pressed a button, the robot's blue light flickered, and it returned to standby mode.
He casually explained, "It's a test version; the algorithm isn't perfected, in some aspects it's still an AI idiot."
Jiang Liangjin took Mu Youyu's hand, "Don't play with the idiot, let's go eat."
"Okay!"
Mu Xianqi: …… He actually didn't mean that.
Several people walked a few steps toward the restaurant; the living room door suddenly sounded several prompts.
Mu Xianqi's steps paused, he glanced at the wall that automatically lit up the monitor, his eyebrows slightly raised, then walked over and opened the door.
At the door stood a male student, a black hoodie's cap pulled onto his head, a mask covering most of his face, only revealing a pair of eyes.
Hair stuck out from under the brim in a few strands, overall messy, he lowered his head, his whole body leaning on the door frame, only raising slowly upon hearing the door open.
Seeing the person tightly bundled up before him, Mu Xianqi's brow twitched again, "What's this getup?"
Shang You turned the baseball cap to a different direction, revealing a pair of eyes devoid of emotion, his nasal voice heavy: "Just passing by, happened to come see you."
Future Path passing by his place?
Mu Xianqi leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed, sizing him up from head to toe. 'Who beat you up? Want me to seek justice for you?'
Shang You pressed his lips together, his gaze sweeping past Mu Xianqi's shoulder into the house, where several people stood in the living room, all staring at the entrance.
His motion froze for a moment as he pulled his mask up again. 'Anyone at your home?'
Mu Xianqi: 'Yeah, my younger sisters and brothers.'
Shang You lowered his head a bit more, stepping back a large step. 'Well, then I'll go first and come back later.'
Mu Xianqi didn't step aside, reaching out to grab his hoodie and pull him inside. 'What's with leaving? You've already come.'
Shang You was jerked two steps, nearly hitting the doorframe, barely regaining his balance; as he lifted his head, he met several curious gazes in the living room.
He tugged his hat down hard, wishing he could hide his whole face inside, but he clearly couldn't escape Mu Xianqi's grasp.
You weren't at Bless Daytime before, and you've met my sister?
This means Shang You has his own identity, so he doesn't have to worry about another identity being recognized.
Shang You thought it made sense, stopped resisting, and lowered his slightly hoarse voice: 'Good evening, Sister Yu, hello everyone.'
Mu Xianqi closed the door, turned, and said to those inside: 'This is my friend, Shang You.'
Mu Youyu recognized the person and whispered: 'Wow, it's Ai'ai.'
Jiang Liangjin echoed: 'Wow.'
Mu Xi studies music, so she's naturally more sensitive to tone.
At Song Huaiyu's brother's birthday banquet last time, seeing this person for the first time, he felt the voice was familiar… now he can finally be certain who it is.
Mu Xi snorted inwardly, the corner of her mouth curling into a smirk, speaking in a sarcastic tone: 'Yo, this is Qi Ge's ex-girlfriend.'
Mu Yiqing was puzzled: ……?
Shang You:!!!!!!
