She herself didn't realize it.
As the bugged program loops endlessly, her tear ducts are about to activate.
Jiang Lingdan had clearly run over. She patted her chest, panting, and asked, "I was just afraid it wouldn't be clear online, senior, how could you be... never mind, that's not important. Senior, why did you tell me this?"
"Because of you, I'm a million points." The communication task was barely being carried out.
But Jiang Lingdan couldn't understand a word of it.
They are from two different worlds, living in two different systems. Even if she loves her, can they really love each other?
Negative and aggrieved emotions overwhelmed the little robot's heart.
This is only the second time I can remember.
The first time was when she was a child, when her parents argued and divorced, and she unknowingly tasted the salty tears.
What about this time?
Chen Huanyu stuck out her tongue, wanting to taste it.
Jiang Lingdan took two steps forward and sucked on Chen Huanyu's outstretched tongue.
communicate.
This is also a form of communication.
Chen Huanyu felt as if the nerve endings on her tongue were countless interconnected optical fibers.
She connected with Jiang Lingdan at that moment.
But the sheer volume of data brought her to the brink of collapse.
Unlike a forced shutdown, she was simply overloaded and unable to think of anything else; she was completely overtaken by a "virus" named Jiang Lingdan.
"call--"
Chen Huanyu had absolutely no experience.
Jiang Lingdan is the same.
The two of them couldn't breathe properly and felt so comfortable that they almost suffocated.
When their lips parted, glistening tear tracks clung to Chen Huanyu's face.
Jiang Lingdan thought she had done something wrong, and ran away as if fleeing without daring to look back.
Chen Huanyu thought that she had frightened Jiang Lingdan.
Not knowing what to do, she could only choose to temporarily suspend this error code.
He chose to interact with Jiang Lingdan in the way she preferred, as if nothing had happened.
...
"I thought you hated me, and I even went to Xiao Zuo'er to cry for several days. But thankfully, the misunderstanding only lasted for a short time, and then I took you to Jiangcheng."
The two kissed without restraint, and finally Jiang Lingdan smiled and pressed Chen Huanyu down onto the soft carpet.
...
In Jiangcheng, what was originally a trip for three people turned into a trip for two people alone because Zuo Baixuan went to find Luan Yenan.
Jiang Lingdan watched as the petite Chen Huanyu sat alone on the hotel sofa, wearing a hoodie and trying her best to keep a low profile. After much consideration, she decided not to go home and instead stay with Chen Huanyu in this unfamiliar place for a while.
As soon as Chen Huanyu entered the room, her fingers gripping the strap of her suitcase, she suddenly said, "Twenty thousand points."
Jiang Lingdan's mind was on edge.
It felt like playing a role-playing game. I saw the character in front of me floating in mid-air with a favorability rating of 20,000 points, which was about to trigger a special event.
Jiang Lingdan acted impulsively and tackled Chen Huanyu.
The suitcase tipped over.
Just a moment ago, Jiang Lingdan was thinking about how she should do her best to be a good host.
The next second, they were about to take advantage of the guest.
She looked at Chen Huanyu, whose eyes were covered by the hood and whose face was already flushed, and reached out to pull the zipper of her clothes, tearing the hood open.
He then asked, "Is that alright?"
Chen Huanyu immediately turned her head away: "Twenty-one thousand points, twenty-two thousand points, twenty-three thousand points..."
She's like a machine that can only count numbers.
But Jiang Lingdan could feel Chen Huanyu's rapid heartbeat.
Every single one of them adds points for her.
Her heart was beating for herself.
Then, Jiang Lingdan saw the soft body disguised beneath the robot's shell. She felt the warmth and softness within.
Chen Huanyu's blush was even more pronounced than usual. It seemed as if she would break down if she scored another point, but she managed to hold back through self-healing.
At the peak of her pleasure, she became a fully living human being.
...
Chen Huanyu's expression now is completely the same as it was then.
Chen Huanyu and Jiang Lingdan slowly integrated their lives together. Gradually, Chen Huanyu was able to have normal, brief conversations with her colleagues and became more and more open with Jiang Lingdan.
In terms of intimate life, they have never neglected each other. But even so, when Chen Huanyu is touched, it's as if a special switch has been flipped, making her soft and delicate.
Her face was flushed, and she couldn't bear to hear a single unnecessary word.
Whether it was a tender confession or Jiang Lingdan's deliberately private words, they could make Chen Huanyu's muscles twitch.
In a dazed moment, Chen Huanyu grabbed Jiang Lingdan's hand and said, "The carpet... is hard to wash."
Jiang Lingdan laughed: "Impressive, right? I just learned it! Whoever gets the carpet dirty washes it."
But she later regretted it.
As Chen Huanyu drifted into a daze, she held Jiang Lingdan tightly. A few minutes later, when she regained her senses, her eyes shone with light.
Those are the rays of evolution.
Jiang Lingdan still remembers why she suddenly fled Jiangcheng and returned to Beijing.
It wasn't because Chen Huanyu suddenly said she was "Huanyu," nor because she was helping Luan Yenan investigate Xiao Zuo'er.
It's entirely because this thing, which is hard to tell whether it's human or AI, has an incredibly strong learning ability.
Not long after loading, she turned around and used the same tricks as Jiang Lingdan, even going so far as to take the best and discard the worst, applying them to Jiang Lingdan.
"Ah... I won't come anymore, senior, please spare me, sob—" Jiang Lingdan's mind could no longer recall what happened in Jiangcheng. Chen Huanyu was no longer like a robot at this moment; she was practically a skilled martial arts master, especially adept at acupressure!
It accurately stimulates each acupoint.
Jiang Lingdan felt as if her Ren and Du meridians had been opened up.
I guess I'll have to wash this carpet myself.
Chen Huanyu, having learned to apply what she had learned to other situations, bit her lip lightly, suppressing her shyness, and whispered in Jiang Lingdan's ear, "The carpet can be washed in the washing machine."
It's not a love confession.
It wasn't a private conversation between women.
It's just a simple statement and narrative.
But this made Jiang Lingdan's heart flutter, and she grabbed Chen Huanyu's hand. Seeing that Chen Huanyu's face was flushed red after she finished speaking, her heart raced.
She reached out and hugged her tightly: "Senior, you're so cute, I love you so much."
Chen Huanyu's ears turned bright red, and she gave a soft "hmm," only able to type out long stretches of code with her fingertips.
Respond with codes that embody unspoken love in one's heart.
"Together," Jiang Lingdan said, dazed, as she hugged Chen Huanyu tightly, "forever together."
Chen Huanyu kissed Jiang Lingdan, the light from their tongues processing all the unspoken words.
Transition from a loosely coupled state to a tightly coupled state.
As a program, loose coupling has the advantages of reducing complexity and dependencies.
But Chen Huanyu wanted to become a substandard computer, someone who depended on Jiang Lingdan.
She wanted to enter a tightly coupled state where she and Jiang Lingdan influenced and interacted with each other.
...
Luan Yenan and Zuo Baixuan, far away on an island, are enjoying the sunshine in the pool.
The castle has a specially built infinity pool near the cliff, made entirely of glass, which looks like it's directly connected to the sea.
"Are you comfortable?" Luan Yenan hugged his wife from behind Zuo Baixuan.
Zuo Baixuan leaned against the edge of the pool, swaying as she splashed water out of the pool.
Looking at the coastline not far away, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "You're really overdoing it. The beach is so close, why do you still want to build a swimming pool in the castle?"
Luan Yenan kissed her shoulder and gently bit her swimsuit strap: "I just want to enjoy this beautiful moment all to myself."
Snap.
The shoulder strap snapped back onto Zuo Baixuan's shoulder.
Zuo Baixuan didn't even need to turn around to imagine the possessive look in Luan Yenan's eyes.
The water behind them was heated by Luan Ye Nan's body.
The heat was so intense that Zuo Baixuan was completely defenseless against it.
How come this person has so much energy after being on vacation for so long, day after day?
Ring ring ring—
"The phone, it's the phone!" Zuo Baixuan's legs went weak, and she could only barely float on the water. Finally, she found a piece of driftwood and seized the opportunity to escape the clutches of the devil.
Luan Yenan clicked his tongue impatiently before reluctantly pulling his hand out from under the swimsuit fabric.
She swam to the side of the pool.
