Every world is full of ghosts and monsters begging for hugs

Its clothes are torn and the letters "SPR" are engraved on its waist, which is the symbol of the "Paradise Island" project.

The plan to allow synthetic humans to give birth to children instead of humans is still highly controversial internationally, but profitable capitalists have been promoting this plan in private.

This disabled synthetic human with a big belly was obviously abandoned midway. As for the child "pregnant" in its belly, it certainly didn't matter.

No one cares whether synthetics are willing to "pregnant" children, and no one cares what happens to the children they "pregnant".

After all, the technology of the artificial womb factory is very mature. As long as you can afford the money and run the factory, you can cultivate hundreds or thousands of fertilized eggs in a day.

It's just that the physical quality of these children coming out of the assembly line is far inferior to that of children born through natural conception.

Shi Jiu quickly withdrew his gaze, and a cautious smile appeared on his face. Because he was too careful, it was full of flattery, "Miss Bai, sit down and rest, I will look for available resources. Maybe we can use this place in the evening." It’s going to be cold, it would be nice if we could find a heater.”

Bai Yao was wearing thin clothes, and when she walked into the cave, she was already so cold that she had goosebumps. Now that Shi Jiu said he wanted to find something that could be used, she didn't stop him.

Shi Jiu found a relatively clean place, put down the flowerpot and her bag, turned around and stepped deeper into the dim cave.

Bai Yao sat on the ground and emptied out all the food in her bag. After a while, Shi Jiu walked over quickly holding a pile of things.

He said happily: "I found some parts that should still be usable. I can use them to assemble a luminaire and this heater..."

He took out a small cylindrical rusty object, "The parts inside are not broken yet, I can repair it."

This way Bai Yao won't feel uncomfortable because the environment is too cold.

It was dimly lit in the cave, but he was able to find so many things, which was a sign of his prowess.

Shi Jiu was afraid that he would annoy her by talking too much, so he only said these few words, then he found a corner and took out the small tools he found to repair something.

Although he is young, he is very familiar with the parts structure of these machines. He can even find replacement parts from the synthetic human "corpses" around him.

When a small lamp lit up, the cave suddenly became much brighter.

Shi Jiu put the small lamp in front of Bai Yao, and he turned around and planned to return to his dark little corner.

Bai Yao said: "If you put the lamp here, won't it be inconvenient for you to fix things?"

Shi Jiu stopped and looked back at Bai Yao, his eyes showing confusion, "I...I'm sorry..."

In fact, he didn't do anything wrong, but he just subconsciously apologized.

Bai Yao said: "Sit over here."

He quietly looked at her face, and when he saw that she was not impatient, he smiled and said "hmm", picked up the pile of small things in the corner, returned to Bai Yao, and sat down next to her.

Bai Yao poured out everything in the bag. Except for her compressed clothes, the only thing she had to eat was a pack of nutritional tablets. There were only ten creamy white pills in a pack of nutritional tablets, which could feed an adult. Energy required for ten days.

Bai Yao poured out all the nutritional tablets. She frowned and glanced at the boy next to her.

Under the white light, he lowered his head, and his hands were stained even more by the rust of the parts, but he didn't care. He carefully took out a small iron piece from the heater, and then found it elsewhere. Put a piece of metal in it.

This is a delicate job that requires full concentration. He looks very cute with his lowered eyebrows. Only occasionally his eyelashes move slightly, like flapping wings, bringing a gust of wind that is imperceptible.

Bai Yao stretched out her hand towards him.

He raised his eyes and saw the five nutritional tablets lying in her palm. His eyes trembled slightly and he looked at her confusedly.

Bai Yao said: "I only have this little food, no more."

After a long time, he blinked and said, "I...I only need two."

He stretched out his hand and saw that his hands were dirty. He quickly wiped them on his clothes before taking two nutritional tablets wrapped in plastic bags and stuffing them into his pocket.

Bai Yao saw that he only wanted two pills, so she didn't force herself and just put the things in her hand away.

As time passed, the temperature became lower and lower, and Bai Yao could almost see the heat in every breath he took.

Fortunately, Shi Jiu's skills were good, and the small heater turned on. The dark red light emitted heat, dispelling the coldness around him.

Bai Yao huddled up against the wall. She hugged her body and stared at the heater in front of her. She said with admiration: "You can repair something that has been broken for so many years. You really sharp."

Shi Jiu said: "I can only do this little thing."

Bai Yao raised her face to look at him.

He was also hugging his body and curling up against the wall. This awkward posture was % similar to her current posture. Bai Yao even doubted whether he had learned her own movements.

In the warm light, the lines on his profile became much softer. The light bathing him seemed to have coated him with a veil. In the hazy light and shadow, it seemed real and unreal.

Shi Jiu stared at her with his black and moist eyes, looking good and obedient. He said softly: "Sister, can you not leave me?"

Bai Yao held her chin with one hand and said casually: "You are not a tool. How can I say whether I will throw you away?"

Shi Jiu's eyelashes trembled slightly and his eyes flickered. He also held his chin with one hand, tilted his head, and his quiet eyes fell on her face.

It seems to be observing, but it also seems to be imitating.

Bai Yao said: "Also, don't call other people sister. Not everyone likes this title."

Shi Jiu lowered his head and his back was hunched. He grabbed the corner of his clothes, like a child who had done something wrong, "I'm sorry, Miss Bai."

Bai Yao responded perfunctorily. She tore open the plastic packaging and took a nutritional tablet. The energy provided by this kind of food would make her feel full for twenty-four hours without feeling hungry.

She still felt cold, so she stretched out her hand to bring the heater closer. The moment she stretched out her hand, she unexpectedly held the boy's hand.

He didn't let go.

Bai Yao looked at him.

Shi Jiu carefully held her fingertips, and his body came a little closer. His clean and clear eyes were full of her shadow. He was still young, with a delicate face and a childlike youthfulness like a high school student. .

He was naive and ignorant, "Judging from the natural things here, the dark nights on this planet are very long, and I am of no use..."

He seemed very nervous, and the hand holding her fingertips was shaking. He pursed his lips slightly and said softly: "But if it's to kill time, I can do it."

Shi Jiu raised his other hand and slowly lifted the corner of his clothes.

Bai Yao held his hand, "What are you doing?"

Shi Jiu looked at her uneasily with a pair of innocent eyes, "I, I...I'm sorry, I don't know what else I can do."

She didn't want to hear him call her sister.

The so-called method of strengthening the bond by relying on family affection is of no use here. He cannot satisfy her spiritual self-movement of standing on the commanding heights, so the only last resort is left.

Bai Yao frowned.

Shi Jiu also knew that she was unhappy. He hurriedly let go of her hand and moved his body slowly back. He huddled up, lowered his head and kept saying: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

There are only two values ​​of his existence. Instead of satisfying their psychological needs, he may have to satisfy their physical needs.

So he was trying hard to please her.

This is a clause imprinted in his bones. Only by pleasing them can he survive.

If these two methods don't work, he will be at a loss to the point of panic. He doesn't know what else to do except keep saying "I'm sorry."

Bai Yao finally spoke, "Why do you want to apologize?"

He raised his misty eyes.

Bai Yao: "It's my decision to take you with me and it has nothing to do with you, so you don't have to feel that you owe me anything, and you don't need to exchange anything with me."

The fact that she saved him had nothing to do with him.

Shi Jiu huddled in the corner, looking stunned.

Bai Yao added: "You are so far away from the heater, isn't it cold? Do you want to come over a little further?"

Shi Jiu's empty eyes regained some sparkle. He moved his body and reached her side carefully, but did not dare to touch her body.

Bai Yao lowered her head to organize the things in her backpack without looking up at him.

Shi Jiu bent her legs, and he hugged them, resting his chin on his knees. In the light and shadow, her white skirt fell on the ground and folded in an arc that was inexplicably interesting and beautiful.

The young man slowly stretched out a hand, quietly grabbed the small corner of the skirt, and held it in his palm.
