He retreated repeatedly, Ji Zhaoming angrily retorting, "I'm fully recovered! I'm asking you something!"
Gu Yunzhou blinked her beautiful eyes quickly and shook her head.
"I won't bother them."
Ji Zhaoming didn't believe it: "Then how did they live before? Didn't they have their own lives?"
Gu Yunzhou said, "I don't know."
How can a life without loneliness or hope, just passing the days one by one, be called living?
As the calendar pages turned, nothing in the distance changed.
This situation has persisted for who knows how many years.
Ji Zhaoming's existence is not merely as a human being, but as a deity.
Instead, it was a surge of fresh blood flowing into the old, stagnant veins, making one…
I can't stop.
A note from the author:
QWQ I'm currently out here, but I'll thank the little angel who gave me the nutrient solution tomorrow!

Chapter 15
<Another Galaxy Gift>
Ji Zhaoming was unaware of Gu Yunzhou's thoughts.
He thought to himself, this won't do. He could tell that although the robot was called a robot, it was completely different from the robots of his time.
They are thoughtful and have their own thoughts.
And he will eventually leave this world. After he leaves, won't the robot return to the silent darkness?
He wanted to help the robot find what it wanted.
[Congratulations on finding the mission. The mission for this world is: Help the robot develop feelings.]
Thinking about it this way, if robots could proclaim to the world that they have feelings, could they still really be called robots?
Ji Zhaoming shook his head, dismissing these inexplicable thoughts.
In any case, during his time with the robots, he discovered that they were not cold and inhuman. Apart from their strong physical abilities and stubbornness, they were actually no different from ordinary people.
—Oh, and one more thing, they idolize their king too much.
Most ordinary people openly express their likes and dislikes, but robots do not. Their desires are too few, so they are all hidden beneath the surface.
Ji Zhaoming said that wouldn't do, and then asked, "Then can we go out and see the outside world?"
He reasoned that if he wanted to help the robot develop feelings, the first step should be to let it see the vast sky.
Well, as for the time when robots occupied other planets...
Plunder and appreciation are two different things!
Ji Zhaoming opened his eyes wide and looked at Gu Yunzhou with great interest.
However, Gu Yunzhou remained silent for a moment, then shook his head.
"Hmm? Why?"
"It's too dangerous outside." Having just experienced Ji Zhaoming's perilous situation, neither Gu Yunzhou nor the other robots would agree with this idea.
Gu Yunzhou knelt down on the ground: "I'm sorry."
Ji Zhaoming quickly helped the person up: "It's nothing, it's nothing serious."
He glanced behind Gu Yunzhou and asked curiously, "By the way, what were you doing just now?"
Gu Yunzhou hummed in agreement and waved his hand. The robots behind Ji Zhaoming all moved to a corner.
Gu Yunzhou then handed Ji Zhaoming the same glasses and coat.
It was a coat that Gu Yunzhou often wore. When it was put on Ji Zhaoming, the tail almost dragged on the ground. No one knew where Gu Yunzhou pressed, but the white coat instantly became a perfect fit.
It also carried a scent reminiscent of winter plum blossoms, which Ji Zhaoming couldn't help but sniff.
However, Gu Yunzhou smelled very nice.
Ji Zhaoming put on his glasses and followed Gu Yunzhou like a little tail, so he could see what Gu Yunzhou was doing without disturbing him.
Gu Yunzhou's style of doing things is just like his personality: quiet and unassuming. Apart from occasionally glancing back at Ji Zhaoming, he spends most of his time silently doing his own thing with his head down.
But every time he looked back, Ji Zhaoming felt a jolt in his heart.
A moment later, Gu Yunzhou put the things away again, took out something that looked like a sugar ball, and handed it to Ji Zhaoming.
Gu Yunzhou asked, "Want to eat?"
Ji Zhaoming: "Hmm?"
He took the sugar pill and licked the surface with the tip of his pink tongue.
It tastes sweet.
Ji Zhaoming swallowed the sugar pill in one gulp. After the sugar coating slowly melted away, the bitter taste slowly entered his mouth.
At that moment, Ji Zhaoming couldn't help but frown.
This suffering came suddenly and went quickly.
Ji Zhaoming blinked: "What is this?"
"My master is always sick," Gu Yunzhou explained, "It's an antidote."
Ji Zhaoming patted his belly: "Hmm, I feel quite full? Oh right, where are the little fox and the rabbit?"
Gu Yunzhou: ...
Ji Zhaoming blinked in confusion: "Huh?"
His king, his master, his god.
Gu Yunzhou sighed softly, "Please come with me."

The game room is right next to Ji Zhaoming's bedroom, and next to that is where Gu Yunzhou lives.
Inside the playroom, a rabbit and a little fox lay in a cage, while the rabbit was free to roam.
The little rabbit, ears twitching and teeth bared, sat down in front of the little fox, the two pets separated by a fence.
Little Fox: ……
Why does this rabbit look exactly like Gu Yunzhou?
Hearing the door open, the little fox turned its head sharply, saw that it was Ji Zhaoming, gripped the fence with its paws, wagged its tail and howled.
Ji Zhaoming asked in surprise, "Why is he locked up?"
Gu Yunzhou explained: "Making a ruckus."
Upon hearing this, the little fox immediately adopted a well-behaved demeanor.
Ji Zhaoming released the little fox and nestled in the warm sofa. He waved to the little fox, and it immediately ran to him, teasing him by placing his hand on its chin.
"..." Gu Yunzhou suddenly said, "Master, I have something to do and need to go out for a bit."
"Okay, take care on your journey," Ji Zhaoming replied with a smile.
After Gu Yunzhou left, Ji Zhaoming glanced furtively at the robot standing there, hugged the fox to his chest, and asked in a low voice, "Have you gained sentience? Can you talk?"
The little fox's eyes darted around a few times.
Ji Zhaoming said, "Don't worry, I won't kick you out."
He never made a mistake in judging people; Ji Zhaoming could tell that the little fox meant no harm.
The little fox scratched its paws before saying, "Yes."
really!
Ji Zhaoming asked, "What's it like outside? Is it similar to this planet?"
“It doesn’t seem like it,” the little fox said. “It’s too cold here.”
He had heard from the elders of his tribe that the planet where the robots lived was barren and perpetually winter. The snow that had covered it for an unknown amount of time was like an invisible ghost, threatening to swallow the entire planet whole.
The days are short and the nights are long.
Only robots are willing to stay.
only……
The little fox thought to himself, "I clearly saw the sun rise this morning, and even the flowers on the trees have sprouted new buds."
The little fox asked, "Have you ever seen the Milky Way?"
Ji Zhaoming thought for a moment, then handed the brooch to him: "Is this what you mean?"
Little Fox: ……
Grass.
This isn't the Milky Way; it's an entire planet.
Is this the king of robots?! I'm so jealous!
He also wanted to show off to Ji Zhaoming how beautiful the sky outside was!
The little fox had to change the subject: "Some planets have spring-like weather all year round, and are full of flowers, making them perfect for travel. Oh, by the way, there's a flower that's priceless, called the Milky Way."
What kind?
*
The deep blue flowers cluster together in layers, their stamens resembling a Milky Way stretching from the horizon to its tail, adorned with twinkling stars.
At the very center of the flower, like the bright moonlight, a faint glow emanates.
