Chapter 2097: If I Were an AI, Would You Love Me? 07

Life at home always has a bit of unexpected trouble.

For example, after finishing mental work this morning, Xu Susong, whose mood was still okay, opened the drawer and found that the sweet food stock was running low.

He, with extremely low appetite, favors sweet food, especially the products of a certain handmade sweet shop, which can also additionally replenish the daily consumed energy.

This is truly a very sad thing.

And what makes Xu Susong feel even more depressed is that the handmade sweet shop he favors has an owner who is a bad-tempered old man, refusing any robot delivery service and demanding to personally hand the sweets to customers who come to pick them up.

Perhaps, for others in the Upper City, it is a flavoring in their dull elite life.

But for Xu Susong, it is simply tantamount to bad news.

"Too strange." Xu Susong tried to find a secret door at the cabinet's edge, perhaps a mouse-sized machine thief had sneaked into his home and stolen all his sweets.

Otherwise, how could the cabinet full of sweets he bought last time after mustering courage to go out fully equipped have suddenly been all eaten?

Ai Dun Dun came over to give the truth.

"Hello, it's already been three months since the last time you went out to shop."

Xu Susong: "..."

So that's the case.

The android came out of the underground laboratory that was just beginning to take shape, and what it saw was a human sitting dejectedly beside the storage cabinet.

"Xing Xing."

Jin Chen half-crouched beside him, gently and patiently saying: "Your mood is very low."

Xu Susong suddenly turned his head, carefully looking at the handsome android, from the brow to the jawline, and finally asked: "Can you go buy sweets for me? The boss shouldn't notice you're an android."

A nonsensical request.

Half a minute later, Jin Chen heard the answer from the new junior Ai Dun Dun.

It turned out that the wife's sweet food stock was running low, possibly not lasting three days.

For a human whose hobbies can be counted on one hand, who likes to watch horror movies and eat sweets, this is indeed bad news.

"I'm happy to help, but Xing Xing, according to my investigation just now, there is a brand-new data detector at the entrance of the handmade shop you mentioned."

Jin Chen also pointed to the mechanical heart under his shirt, saying: "The detector obviously can distinguish androids better than the human eye."

Xu Susong's weary and listless eyes completely deflated: "Looks like I have to go out."

"There's good news, Xing Xing."

Jin Chen pulled up the schedule for the past half month—although each day repeats, a qualified android is good at squeezing in small activities.

"Tomorrow afternoon is the regular check-up day; I will take Xing Xing to see Dr. Xu He, and on the way back we can stop by to shop."

If we add the arrangement that one must go out, then this matter seems not so difficult.

Xu Susong turned back to the Living Room, agreed verbally, sat down, took the cup offered by the android, held it, lowered his head to sip hot cocoa, and then listlessly wrapped himself in the blanket.

Then he let out a long sigh.

He had already started feeling fatigued about tomorrow's schedule in advance.

Jin Chen hugged Xu Susong through the blanket, noticing his gaze attracted to the collarbone chain, he absentmindedly allowed Xu Susong to stare for a while, feeling satisfied.

"Xing Xing's sadness is also cute, like a little Bao Bao."

Xu Susong:?

Xu Susong's gaze instantly left the android's superior collarbone, and he worried again.

"Number 520, your language system indeed has a problem."

Jin Chen: "..."

【Hey there, giving flirty glances to a blind person.】 Ling Gun Gun let out a sound.

"No, Xing Xing." Jin Chen denied, "I'm just praising you for being cute."

But who would praise a human like that?

Xu Susong didn't agree, but inexplicably felt a warm sensation in his chest, "Well, I'll temporarily believe you haven't had a language system disorder."

"You're smarter than I thought."

If Xu Susong had come into contact with other androids, he would discover what makes his Number 520 different.

But he hasn't, and Number 520 is also currently the only all-purpose android, so there is no reference.

This means Jin Chen has no disguise in front of Xu Susong.

As a human, does Xu Susong have a sense of crisis?

He doesn't, and he really likes the warm embrace of Number 520.

——

Outing day.

At 2:30 p. m., Xu Susong woke from his nap and began the troublesome activity of "preparations that must be made before going out."

Xu Susong stood in the center of the bedroom, like a space warrior about to go into battle, solemnly staring at the equipment before him.

He took a deep breath, as if what he was about to face was not an ordinary day but an interstellar adventure.

Jin Chen inexplicably read a hint of solemnity from Xu Susong's gaze, gently reminding with a smile: "Xing Xing, today's air quality index is 75; it is recommended to increase protection by one level."

"Also, your anti-allergy spray has been replenished, the protective suit has been disinfected, and the dust mask's filter has been replaced."

Xu Susong nodded, and Jin Chen gave Ai Dun Dun the order: "First check the airtightness of the protective suit."

Ai Dun Dun immediately raised its two mechanical arms, like a serious little robot doctor, and began to carefully inspect every seam of the protective suit.

This is a white one-piece suit, made of lightweight material; wearing it snugly before going out can largely prevent allergens in the air.

Although Jin Chen always imagines an enhanced version of the one-piece thermal underwear.

But anything that gives his wife a sense of security is a good thing.

Jin Chen fastened the rear seal ring for Xu Susong; afternoon sunlight poured into the cloakroom, and Xu Susong only needed to lift his eyes to see the android behind him.

Their posture was somewhat ambiguous, but Xu Xuxing wasn't paying attention to that.

The android lowered its head, brows and eyes focused, movements delicate.

As if doing something very, very important.

The protective suit was too thin; when operating the sealed ring with warm fingertips, it was inevitable to touch the skin, and the heat at the back gradually rose.

Even though he was accustomed to hugging, Xu Xuxing still couldn't resist the comforting feeling of being brushed by warm water.

Long ago, when Xu Xuxing was still small and lacked the ability to dress himself, it was also done by the robot nanny at the time.

However, the robot nanny couldn't regulate temperature; its icy mechanical fingers scraping the skin would also hurt, often leaving bruises on the body.

Ah…… If one were to trace it back seriously, perhaps his dislike of food also began then.

Xu Xuxing's memory flashed back only for a few moments before he cast it aside, having no leisure to attend to it further.

Because No. 520 embraced him entirely from behind.

Xu Xuxing felt numb all over, looking at the android in the mirror, he tilted his head to express confusion: "Why did you suddenly hug me."

"The little star is dazed, how cute." Jin Chen's slightly arched eyes carried a slow, soothing gentleness.

Xu Xuxing turned his face away; being gazed at like that made it hard not to feel shy.

When Xu Xuxing had fully dressed in his outer clothes, Jin Chen also put on him a specially made mask with a built-in miniature air purification device.

Only then did Xu Xuxing notice that the android had also changed clothes.
