"Knock knock knock".
The sound of three knocks on the door.
The little fox was stunned.
Are robots really that polite?
It raised its head.
Seeing Ji Zhaoming's clearly defined jawline, I understood.
Who else but Ji Zhaoming could make a wild beast don a human coat and take on human form?
Gu Yunzhou only opened the door after a weak "Come in" came from inside.
He didn't rush in, but instead made way for Ji Zhaoming.
Ji Zhaoming carried the little fox in and greeted the little fox brother.
The little fox brother said apologetically, "My brother has really troubled you too much."
He reached out and took the little fox, then glanced at the figure behind Ji Zhaoming and asked hesitantly, "Is it your friend?"
Even just a silhouette was completely different from Ji Zhaoming's demeanor.
This made the little fox's brother suspect that Ji Zhaoming had offended someone...
For example, machine races.
Ji Zhaoming paused for a moment.
The little fox brother is about to fall seriously ill, so this is not the best opportunity to tell him.
It's also because he was too eager.
Seemingly sensing Ji Zhaoming's hesitation, the little fox spoke up, "Brother, um, I forgot to tell you last time. Ji Zhaoming's race..."
This disease is more serious when it suddenly strikes; otherwise, apart from being a little weak, it's not too bad.
Ji Zhaoming pressed down on the little fox brother who was trying to get up, tilting his head back slightly.
Ji Zhaoming introduced himself: "Human."
The little fox brother was stunned.
Humans?
This is a race that, though now extinct, is still known by its name.
Ultimately, it all boils down to the machine race's fanaticism towards the human race.
He instantly realized something, looked sharply at the figure behind him, opened his mouth, and it took him a long time to find his voice.
Fortunately, the reputation of the machine race has improved a lot during this period, otherwise the little fox brother would have been so frightened that he would have fainted.
The little fox brother asked, "Are the things following behind you machine races?"
No wonder that when this group of people came in, even without seeing their faces, it made people feel breathless.
The little fox brother was just sick, not old and blind, and he immediately realized this.
Ji Zhaoming stepped aside a few paces.
Gu Yunzhou and the robot that followed him moved forward and greeted the little fox brother.
"This..." The little fox looked at the group of people with some hesitation.
Before this, even though Ji Zhaoming's demeanor didn't match his fragile appearance, no one could have guessed that he was a member of the machine race.
Ji Zhaoming's appearance is so deceptive.
Even though he knew that Ji Zhaoming was the king of the machine race, and that no matter how ruthless the machine race was, they could not possibly harm him, the little fox brother still felt worried when Ji Zhaoming stood with the robot.
He was about to ask Ji Zhaoming if he wanted some more to come over when he suddenly saw Gu Yunzhou's gaze.
—From beginning to end, she never left Ji Zhaoming.
The little fox brother smiled and swallowed his words, saying, "Hello. Humans, I never imagined that humans still exist in this world."
The machine races regard humans as the most revered race.
However, the fact that other races all take human form when they transform is enough to show the influence of the human race.
Before any other race was even aware of it, they were already imitating humans.
Later, humanity disappeared from the long river of time, but everything it left behind did not perish with time.
The little fox brother spoke again, thanking you with utmost sincerity: "My brother has caused you trouble."
He had initially thought that Ji Zhaoming was just a nobleman of some race.
Only after learning that they were a machine race did he realize how much trouble his younger brother had caused others.
He pursed his lips, placed the little fox on his shoulder, and said, "If there's anything I can help with..."
As he said this, his face flushed slightly.
After all, with his frail and sickly body, what could he possibly do to help?
"It's nothing." Ji Zhaoming waved his hand with a smile. "There's no need for so much talk between friends."
The little fox looked at Gu Yunzhou with some surprise.
Are machine races really this kind?
"Wang—!" A voice came from outside the door, but then realized that they were in a hospital and quickly lowered their voice.
It was Gu He, who had gone downstairs to get the medicinal herbs earlier.
Gu He appeared in the room with a bag on his back. When he saw the weak person on the hospital bed, he realized how inappropriate it was for him to appear in front of the patient in his original form, so he quickly adjusted his height.
He placed the bag on the table beside him and asked, "Is this the material the fox wants?"
The little fox pricked up its ears and stared longingly at the contents of the bag.
The bag's zipper was opened, and a faint medicinal scent filled the entire ward.
Gu He then took out an old book from his pocket. The cover of the book was very worn, but it still smelled of medicinal herbs.
Gu He said, "We also found this book when we were looking for medicinal herbs."
He turned to a certain page and said, "Nine-tenths of the medicinal herbs the fox wanted overlap with this prescription. We humans saw that there were some that weren't mentioned, so we brought them along as well."
After Gu He finished speaking, his eyes shone brightly as he looked at Ji Zhaoming and added, "Of course, I approved this request."
Each robot has a communication tool for easy communication and requesting instructions.
The robots certainly didn't dare to bother Gu Yunzhou with these questions, so they asked the second-in-command, Gu He.
"Won't the King think I'm overstepping my bounds?" Gu He cautiously approached Ji Zhaoming and asked.
Ji Zhaoming suddenly burst out laughing.
Gu He felt a sudden unease.
Could he have really done something wrong?
Gu He was about to apologize when a hand began to stroke his hair.
Gu He's heart suddenly sank back down.
Ji Zhaoming said, "No, you did a very good job."
Ji Zhaoming looked at the fabric as his other hand touched it.
It's Gu Yunzhou.
Gu Yunzhou's expression softened, but there was some confusion in his eyes: "Master seems very happy? Why?"
Nothing happened just now, right?
Ji Zhaoming smiled and said, "Because seeing you all makes me very happy. Especially—"
He turned his head, looked at the sparkle in Gu He's eyes, and said, "Especially when I see Gu He."
Gu Yunzhou: ?
Gu Yunzhou replied in a deep voice, "Will the master be happy when he sees Gu He?"
This sounded too ambiguous, so Ji Zhaoming quickly shook his head: "That's not what you mean."
When Ji Zhaoming saw the stars in Gu He's eyes, he suddenly remembered that when he first saw these robots, their eyes also had starlight.
But the starlight was still very faint then, and they shyly hid in the moonlight and in the darkness.
Now, starlight rivals that of the sun and moon.
Ji Zhaoming thought to himself, "These days, though they seem ordinary, have actually brought about a lot of quiet changes."
Ji Zhaoming explained, "What I mean is, well, as the king, isn't it normal for me to be happy to see you all happy?"
Suddenly, he heard Gu Yunzhou ask, "Would Master be happy to see me?"
Ji Zhaoming meant that he was happy because he saw Gu He was happy.
Gu Yunzhou deliberately misinterpreted this meaning.
But Ji Zhaoming didn't react immediately and replied, "I'm so happy, I saw Gu Yunzhou..."
He suddenly stopped talking.
Was it intentional?
But does Gu Yunzhou really understand what he means?
Ji Zhaoming chuckled and changed the subject, asking the little fox, "Little fox, do you think the prescription you got is the same as this one?"
Gu Yunzhou sighed silently to himself.
The little fox, with its short arms and legs, crawled to the edge of the bed and then jumped.
He was covered in hair, and somehow pulled out a torn piece of paper and placed it next to the book for comparison.
This piece of paper is a prescription that the little fox accidentally discovered that could save his brother, but unfortunately a small part of it was torn off.
But it is still a goal to strive for.
After comparing them a few times, it confirmed, "This is it! Absolutely right! Even the markings are the same..."
