Chapter 2128: If I Were an AI, Would You Love Me? 39

Jin Chen sat bored outside the door, idly picking up a fallen leaf to play with in his hand, shifting the scene in his mind to the clone's perspective.

The underground dark space of the Experimental Center.

The Dean's wife's ploy of making a show in one direction while attacking another was really not very good.

Even though they clearly knew the Experimental Center was already under their control, they still arranged for the people inside to go steal things.

This isn't a desperate last stand; it's basically walking into a net, letting oneself incur an extra crime.

Jin Chen naturally didn't know that they were still discussing him inside.

The Dean's wife said: "He's just an android, differing from real humans; after all, he was developed under your father's supervision, so he could never go a lifetime without malfunction."

"What flows under his skin isn't blood, and what beats in his chest isn't a real heart."

The meaning behind the words had a mix of sincerity and pretense, but Xu Xuxing actually still couldn't really sense it.

Although his sensory glass shield to the outside world was gradually breaking, the only thing that could truly let him keenly sense emotional fluctuations was Jin Chen, followed by Xu He and Song Shoujie.

He could hear the subtext.

"I know." Xu Xuxing replied, "I've never regarded Jin Chen as an ordinary human; Jin Chen is Jin Chen."

"Your father has already been convicted." Xu Xuxing said firmly, with a solemn tone, "You will also be judged; don't try to seek a last chance through me."

"I'll do better than you; if Jin Chen needs repairs, I can come myself."

Dean's wife: "……"

Although it was merely a distraction for the final desperate struggle, she also knew how many people were secretly watching the monitors inside.

But she was inevitably angered by Xu Xuxing.

For a moment she was speechless.

Xu Xuxing glanced at the time, stood up, and said, "Goodbye, Mother."

"I'm very grateful for the life you gave me, but that's all."

Outside.

The clone came out of the Experimental Center's basement, resumed the appearance of Shi Xisheng, and handed over the item taken from the intruder to Jin Chen.

"It's a crystal similar to the red crystal." Shi Xixeng said, standing beside Jin Chen and asking, "Could this be what you need?"

Jin Chen took it, gripped it tightly, and probed it with Spiritual Power.

It was in vain.

"Fake."

Perhaps before Mi Xuan fled, that crystal had been controlled by the Dean; after tasting the benefits, he wanted to replicate it, which led to the later Super Species Mechanical Body Plan.

When a divine object falls into the Three Thousand Small Worlds, it's certainly not a good thing.

Jin Chen returned the fake crystal to Shi Xisheng, saying, "It's just like a stone; go play with it."

The clone's display form in the Space Mall's grid slots is also a little stone figure.

"Thanks, big shot."

Shi Xisheng took it, held it in his palms, suddenly looked up at Jin Chen behind Xu Xuxing, wondering why he didn't come over.

Xu Xuxing locked eyes with him, but actually didn't have much impression of his appearance.

But he was a bit surprised; Jin Chen seemed to rarely get along this well with others.

Shi Xisheng left, continuing back to the Experimental Center to help with the final cleanup, after which it would be sealed off by the Governor's Hall.

"What's wrong, not happy chatting?" Jin Chen noticed Xu Xuxing's expression was a bit odd and asked softly.

Xu Xuxing shook his head, leaned in to smell Jin Chen's scent, and when about to be embraced, used his fingertip to push Jin Chen's shoulder, preventing the hug.

"You have a scent." Xu Xuxing said, his tone inexplicably a bit sour.

Jin Chen sniffed himself doubtfully; there was no smell.

But he quickly reacted, laughing as he put his arm around Xu Xuxing's shoulders, "I also feel that Star has a bit of a scent, a vinegar note."

To prepare for dating, Xu Xuxing had done a lot of related study; he immediately understood, realizing what this heavy feeling in his heart was.

"Yes, I'm a bit jealous."

He actually hadn't smelled anything.

Xu Xuxing put his arm around Jin Chen's neck, and as a precaution, urged, "You can only like me alone."

"If you can't remember, I'll write this into the family rules."

His clear voice revealed endless possessiveness.

Jin Chen: "……"

Jin Chen laughed through tears, pinching Xu Xuxing's earlobe and rubbing it, "I've remembered, dear little master."

Xu Xuxing jumped up, eyes curving with delight.

All sins surfaced and were uprooted.

Song Shoujie and Xu He set aside all matters, together with the team they had built and peers willing to help, fully devoting themselves to the research of the pathogen vaccine.

With data from the Contaminated Area Bacteria Base as support, and with Jin Chen's help, their research speed exceeded expectations.

May of the following year.

After multiple experiments, Xu He finally confirmed that this batch of vaccine was completely effective and had almost no side effects.

And one of those vaccines is precisely the key to killing the active gene produced within Xu Xuxing's body.

Performed by Xu He himself, Xu Xuxing needs to undergo an active gene removal surgery.

Fortunately, over this past year, Jin Chen has raised Xu Xuxing well; the spirit and essence nourished and cared for by love are who knows how much fuller than when they first met.

Xu Xuxing lay in the surgery chamber; through the transparent lid, he could see Jin Chen standing outside, his gaze always fixed on him.

"Don't be afraid, I'll always be here." Jin Chen said.

Xu Xuxing nodded, although this surgery was different from before, he felt a bit nervous, but Jin Chen's presence made him feel extremely at ease.

The operating cabin slowly closed, Xu Xuxing shut his eyes and took a deep breath.

He could feel the cold medicine being injected into his body, his consciousness gradually becoming blurred.

The atmosphere in the operating room was tense, and all the precision instruments that had been debugged countless times began operating one after another.

Nearly two hours later.

"The surgery was extremely successful, the active genes have been completely eliminated, the allergic reaction has also disappeared, Xiao Xu's body will no longer be affected."

Xu He's voice was hard to describe as fatigued, yet his eyes showed delight; he took off his glove and patted Jin Chen's shoulder, "Congratulations!"

Xu He thought, over the past year he often had nightmares of becoming enemies with Xiao Xu, and in the end he even personally witnessed Xiao Xu dying from an allergic reaction.

Strangely, even his wife would have similar nightmares.

In response, the materialist robot Jin Chen said: "Pure coincidence."

After an unknown amount of time, Xu Xuxing slowly opened his eyes, his vision still somewhat blurry.

But the first thing he saw was Jin Chen's face.

Jin Chen stood beside the operating cabin, his eyes full of concern; seeing him wake up, he immediately opened the operating cabin.

Xu Xuxing reached out his hand, Jin Chen immediately grasped it, tightly wrapping his hand in his own palm.

"How do you feel?" Jin Chen asked.

Xu Xuxing nodded and said softly: "Very good, it feels… my body feels much lighter."

Jin Chen breathed a sigh of relief, leaned down and gently embraced Xu Xuxing, his arms tightening.

Xu Xuxing was still a bit dazed, but his heart inexplicably felt at ease. He raised his head, looking at Jin Chen, his voice soft: "So, the surgery… was it successful?"

Jin Chen's eyes held a hint of a smile: "Mm, very successful."

Xu Xuxing wrapped his arms around him, burying his face deep in the embrace, his voice tinged with a coquettish tone: "Jin Chen, I won't die, I can stay with you for a long time."

"Guabao, thank you." Jin Chen ruffled his hair and lightly kissed his forehead,
