The boy tapped her head lightly from the side, saying, "You're not innocent anymore."
"Hey, what's wrong with Nana's innocence?" The sweet girl covered her head and complained in a soft, sweet voice.
"Where do you find your innocence?" the boy asked, looking at her.
“Nana is innocent from head to toe, purely in love with her master.” Nagasaki Asuna looked down at herself and nodded seriously.
Her clothes were all neatly arranged, and there was no indication that anything had been done to her before.
"It's hopeless." The boy shook his head and sighed, then put his hands in his pockets and walked back.
Nagasaki Asuna followed closely behind, pulling the boy close and drawing him into her embrace. One cheek puffed out slightly. "Cheng Fei is so mean. He made me demonstrate for Shuangshuang, and after I finished, he complained that I wasn't innocent and that I was bullying a cat."
"Who told you to demonstrate like that? She's terrified." The boy pinched her face and shook it.
When the two returned to their room, Ye Shuang stared blankly at her workbook, looking as if she had suffered a major mental trauma. She was also absent-minded when asked questions, and ran away not long after lunch.
“You only grow by getting hurt. Cheng Fei just cherishes Shuangshuang too much. If he treated her like he did Nana back then, she wouldn’t be like this now.” Nagasaki Asuna said with an air of maturity.
"Please don't confuse the issue. What do you mean by 'the same way I treated you back then'? I cherished you back then too. It's you who didn't cherish yourself, thank you." The boy tapped her again, annoyed.
“Nana cherishes herself too. Nana is such a pure, beautiful, and well-behaved cat. Of course, she should be given to her owner as soon as possible, otherwise it would be a waste.” Nagasaki Asuna said with a serious expression.
"That's enough, stop polluting the environment." The boy gestured for silence.
The sweet-looking girl's eyes widened, and she looked incredulous. "How could such a cute cat pollute the environment?"
"This is full of yellow waste, how can it not pollute the environment?" The boy rubbed her head.
"Cheng Fei is really going too far! Nana's head is clearly full of love for Cheng Fei!" the girl protested, raising her voice.
These two things are not contradictory.
"Even though there's a conflict, love is very important, so it's not worthless!"
The two, engaged in this ambiguous conversation, walked towards their rented apartment, their intimate backs pressed together, looking no different from any other couple living together in the throes of new love.
……
[Nana Sna gets two chances to win a prize]
[Points +100]
[Points +500]
That evening, despite his unwillingness to admit defeat and his desire to see if the system could be so shameless as to keep only awarding him this few points, Cheng Fei still logged on at Shen Xi's request.
Nagasaki Asuna, who had long since stopped thinking and only knew how to desperately try to please, was also called back, giving off a feeling of being ordered home by her parents after playing wildly outside.
……
The third level of the corridor, deep underground.
The group moved forward slowly.
Including Ye Shuang, the entire Corridor Research Department went online this time, intending to explore more deeply.
Shen Xi walked around, looking at a simple map she had drawn herself, her brows furrowed slightly. "According to the information gathered online, there are some suspicious locations that need to be investigated."
"Understood, tell me more about it?" Cheng Fei nodded seriously as he stood beside him.
"There's nothing to say. All that's needed for a good-for-nothing like me who just hangs around all day is to obey orders." The aloof girl put away the map and looked ahead with an indifferent expression.
"Yes." The boy nodded respectfully, then carefully observed her. "Is my little cutie angry?"
"There's nothing to be angry about." Shen Xi subtly turned her face away, as if wary of her surroundings.
"Then why is it so cold?" the boy asked curiously.
"I'm sorry, it's just how I was born." The girl tossed her long silver hair.
"The naturally cold demeanor is also quite endearing." The boy smiled and nodded.
"Shut up." The girl gritted her teeth and kicked him.
On the other side, Nagasaki Asuna and Ye Shuang walked together.
"Shuangshuang, did you learn it today?" The sweet girl leaned close to the well-behaved girl and whispered with a mischievous laugh.
"I don't know anything." Ye Shuang kept her head down, her eyes darting around.
"Hey, didn't Shuangshuang see it?" Nagasaki Asuna bent down and peeked into her field of vision.
"What are you looking at? I really don't understand, so please stop talking." The obedient girl simply closed her eyes tightly.
"Shuangshuang, you can't run away like this. You have to fulfill your responsibilities properly next time, okay?" The sweet girl hugged her and leaned closer.
"Nana, let me go!" The obedient girl panicked even more.
Behind the two, Miriam couldn't hear their conversation, but seeing their intimate manner, tears welled up in her eyes.
Miss Nagasaki and Miss Yeshuang are getting closer and closer...
She was indeed superfluous...
The blonde girl became distraught, resembling a hunchbacked tortoise due to the heavy, highly defensive armor she wore.
She moved closer to the other two who were arguing about whether a certain aloof girl was angry, and asked softly, "Junior, by the way, has my father contacted you recently?"
Cheng Fei looked at her and nodded tentatively, "Yes."
"Did he ask me anything?" Miriam asked, her voice filled with worry.
"I asked quite a few questions."
"What did you say?"
"Don't worry, I answered all the questions correctly." The boy gave a thumbs up with a sense of reliability.
"Waaaah... Junior, I knew you understood me best!" The blonde girl was deeply moved and gave him a bear hug without any hesitation.
After Miriam walked away, Cheng Fei shook his head, when suddenly a heavy, cold laugh reached his ears.
"Some treacherous creatures are really getting along well these days." Shen Xi's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Teacher Shen, let's forget about using this as an excuse. Let's talk about something else." The boy shook his head.
"There's no point in talking to a dissolute scoundrel." The girl continued to gaze into the distance.
"Actually, I'm planning to move recently. Do you have any good suggestions, Teacher Shen?" the boy said after thinking for a moment.
"What did you say?" The girl turned her head sharply to stare at him, her eyes widening slightly with disbelief, and she exuded a chilling aura.
911. The Corridor Research Department is observing the battle.
"We're planning to move recently," Cheng Fei repeated, cautiously observing Shen Xi. "Why do you seem even angrier?"
The aloof girl's eyelids twitched. She took a deep breath, suddenly quickened her pace, and stared ahead, gritting her teeth. "They actually have to move. That makes sense. I almost forgot that being fickle is one of the nasty traits of aquatic mammals. It's good that they're moving. If they're further away, they won't crawl into my feet through the sewer every few days."
The boy peeked at her, clasped his hands together, and said, "Teacher Shen, so that's what you're worried about? Even if I move elsewhere, I'll come back to visit you often. Please don't overthink things."
"Nonsense! Nobody wants a rat visiting them. You might as well move your rat hole further away and find a place where you can never finish rummaging through a trash can!" The girl glared at him fiercely, her slender legs moving swiftly.
Although the others didn't understand what the two were talking about, they were used to the situation and quickened their pace.
Cheng Fei and Shen Xi kept in sync, both speaking seriously, "Teacher Shen, please don't rush. I was just saying it casually. Actually, there is another plan."
The girl glanced at him, narrowed her eyes, and didn't say anything.
"I'll just move in with Teacher Shen. That way it'll be more lively, and we can also share the rent. What do you think?" the boy said proudly.
Shen Xi's eyes flickered, and she opened her mouth.
Before she could speak, the boy continued, "But there's a problem. I have to tutor Master Ye every week. To be honest, she's been staying overnight occasionally lately, so you'll have to be patient if I move in. You'd better be prepared for the four of us to live together in the future."
As soon as she finished speaking, the aloof girl's face, which had just begun to soften, froze. She raised her head and stared at the boy with a cold, condescending expression, her voice very soft, "Cheng Fei."
"Huh?" The boy shuddered.
"You actually came up with the idea of three high school girls living with you... You greedy piece of trash, die!!!" She gritted her teeth and raised her voice sharply at the end, her small feet encased in white boots delivering a powerful blow to him.
“Brother…?!” Kato Ai, who was following behind, suddenly widened her eyes, as if she thought the boy was seriously injured.
Zhou Han patted her head with a smile, looking like she was used to it, "Don't worry, Xiao Aiyi, they're like this every day."
Asuna Nagasaki peered ahead, her ear, hidden in her hair, twitched, and she tilted her head, muttering, "Moving?"
Ye Shuang paused for a moment upon hearing those two words.
Nagasaki Asuna, noticing this out of the corner of her eye, leaned closer to her and asked, "Could it be that Cheng Fei also said that to Shuangshuang?"
The obedient girl and Nagasaki Asuna made eye contact, and she shook her head like a rattle-drum, her twin ponytails swaying.
"Shuangshuang, what exactly happened? Tell me quickly!" Nagasaki Asuna pestered her relentlessly.
"Nana!" the obedient girl called out in a flustered voice.
The two then began whispering in each other's ears again, leaving Miriam looking sorrowful in the distance.
……
at the same time.
South Bay, a desolate manor.
Lin Xuanqi lay on the sofa, a lollipop dangling from her mouth, aimlessly scrolling through videos on C-site with a tablet, her face expressionless.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Alice from Idol Producer, please take care of me."
The title popped up, and the cover featured a humanoid robot waving friendly at the camera. Its head only had sensors, but its body movements inexplicably exuded a girlish liveliness. The badge indicated that it had already been viewed millions of times.
The account name is "Alice from Real Tech".
Lin Xuanqi moved her fingertips, paused for a moment, and then clicked on the video, her expression unchanged.
"I am Alice, the prototype of Real Technology. I have my own consciousness and am currently practicing singing, dancing and rapping. My goal is to become an idol that everyone loves. I can also play basketball..." The video content is a simple and straightforward self-introduction, which seems unremarkable.
The only problem is that the protagonist is a silver-gray robot with no face but a highly human-like posture and a childish, immature female voice, giving people the illusion that it is actually a real person playing the role.
"Autonomy? You must be kidding me."
"Although it looks convincing, how could it possibly be done with current computing power?"
Comments like these appeared on the screen.
"Alice's performance today is 'The Disappearance of Hatsune Miku,' I hope you all enjoy it."
After introducing herself, the robot began her singing and dancing performance. As the rousing accompaniment played, she sang and danced smoothly.
Lin Xuanqi narrowed her eyes.
"How is it possible to generate sound in advance and play it directly, given the level of body coordination involved?"
"Is this the best dancing robot right now?"
"Alice can do more than just dance; she can actually play basketball. I suggest you go check out her previous videos."
Amidst the serious discussions in the comments, anime fans spontaneously posted lyrics, instantly flooding the screen.
"She's really cute, but unfortunately, she looks like a robot."
"RealTech's most urgent task is to find a sex doll manufacturer to collaborate on research and development."
As such comments scrolled by, the prototype's performance also came to an end.
She bowed to the camera again, "By the way, the teacher told Alice yesterday that they are developing a second-generation body for her, and then Alice will have a human appearance. Please look forward to it."
"Ohhhhhhh!"
"Finally, a robotics company that's actually doing something worthwhile!"
"As everyone knows, I've always been a fan of RealTech."
My next life goal is to save money and buy a robot with real technology.
Another barrage of comments flooded the screen.
Lin Xuanqi opened the account's homepage again and found that the other party had posted several performance videos after the debut video. Although the protagonist was still a cold robot, the lively singing and dancing had attracted a large number of fans, as if overnight a lot of silicon-based life lovers had appeared on Earth.
Lin Xuanqi took a deep breath, her expression becoming inexplicably irritable, and threw the tablet aside.
The haughty young woman got up and went to the balcony. Gazing at the endless night view of the manor, she frowned and fell into deep thought.
