Lord of Eternal Darkness
Chapter 43 We are a brother-sister couple
Li Xiaoming whispered into Xiao De's ear: "The uncle is asking, just say that I am your brother and you are my sister."
Saint Assad immediately discovered the problem.
"But our looks are too different, right? You are from Guhua, and I am from Luoxi."
"Then tell me what to do?"
"Well, it's definitely not convenient for us to live together as friends. Forget it, I can just pretend to be your girlfriend and enjoy this gift."
Saint Assad seemed to see the ugly face of the opponent's plan after it succeeded.
"No, you can say that you are my godmother. If my fiancée hears that I am looking for a girlfriend again, she will chop me up alive."
Li Xiaoming's face changed suddenly when he heard this. He was not as happy as he imagined, but instead he was begging.
The uncle said impatiently: "No, why are you two moping about renting a house? Ah, why are young people so shameless? What does it matter? If you don't tell me, it won't be done."
"No, we are siblings (boyfriend and girlfriend)." The two shouted in unison.
"What the hell? I don't understand."
Li Xiaoming communicated with Saint Assad with his eyes. (Didn’t you agree that you don’t need to be friends between men and women?)
St. Assad rolled her eyes at him, (Is your best way to change from brother to sister? Isn’t this too ridiculous?)
Li Xiaoming calmed down his thoughts and explained: "Well, actually we are a brother-sister couple, yes! That's it."
"The little girl looks so young. Two different races actually live together in harmony. It's really enviable. If we had ignored our parents' objections, she and I should also...forget it, come in Bar."
The old man's thoughts seemed to be still in the state of opposition decades ago. When he saw such a harmonious scene, he couldn't help but sigh.
His eyes stayed on the girl's face, and he was very interested in Saint Assad's eyes covered with cloth, but he didn't want to ask presumptuously, so he quickly turned his eyes to other places.
"By the way, junior Li Xiaoming. That is my female... friend Saint Assad. May I ask my senior's name?"
The uncle waved his hand. "What's the name? My name is Bodien Luke. Zhang Jianjun."
"Uncle, your name is quite trendy." Li Xiaoming didn't know how to complain.
Zhang Jianjun looked a little happy when he said this.
"I can't help it, this is a commemoration. Just to follow the trend of young people, the name must have a touch of foreign flavor. Like some angel baby, Jack, Tom, etc."
It seems that the uncle is quite friendly, humorous and full of stories.
Brother Wang Ye wrongly blamed you before, this place is really good.
The exquisitely carved sandalwood door is gently pushed open, and the decoration inside is also refreshing.
The walls are all painted green, clean and refreshing, as if blending into nature, and there are sky-like murals painted on the ceiling.
The floors paved with black marble, tiles as bright as mirrors, gorgeous crystal chandeliers, sofas surrounding pure black fragrant wood tables, and exquisite household appliances are almost beyond description.
Two words, rich.
Three words, very rich.
Li Xiaoming sighed and said: "Wow, in such a big place, do you usually live alone?"
Zhang Jianjun sighed, "Yes, after my wife left, I was the only one left. My children insisted on bringing me to the city to enjoy the blessings. There was no way. There was no one to talk to, and the young people in the city were all So weird, no energy at all
Li Xiaoming stroked the wall with his fingers and asked, "I heard that Wang Ye has lived with you for half a year. How well do you know him?"
"Oh, despite his vicious appearance, he is a good boy. He even saved my life back then. Seeing that he had no place to go, I thought I had a lot of houses at home, so I introduced him to him. But this kid likes to skate. He is a head, but he can make me happy and he is closer than my son. If he has done anything wrong, please forgive him."
"No, no. We have a good relationship. We are not here to say bad things about him."
Li Xiaoming proved that he was more accurate in reading people, even though he had only known the other person for an afternoon.
Saint Assad asked curiously: "Didn't we rent it out to others before we and Wang Ye came?"
The old man shook his head and looked at the empty room, when two young people suddenly appeared.
"No, this apartment is like my nursing home, a shelter for my recovery. I painted the walls the most comfortable color, and bought myself flowers every week, as if I were visiting myself in the hospital. Wang Ye gave me a A hot water bottle was given as a birthday gift so I don’t have to sleep alone on a cold bed.”
Zhang Jianjun shouted inside, and then saw a suspended seat floating over, full of a strong sense of technology.
"Does the vortex generated by the high-frequency electromagnetic field on the metal surface levitate the metal ball?" Li Xiaoming said to himself.
The uncle happily sat on this thing and moved it around.
"When I get older and have bad legs and feet, I like to sit at home. It's so fun to float this thing around. Let me tell you. Do you want to sit on it and experience it?"
"No, no, where is our room?" Li Xiaoming looked back at the girl and suddenly thought of a question.
"Can you help me give my girlfriend a room? After all, we haven't officially married yet, so it's not good to live together. Don't worry, the price is based on two rooms."
The uncle waved his hand casually and said, "Oh, it's just a small thing. I'm afraid you guys will make me noisy at night and I won't be able to sleep. It's okay to sleep separately. The price will be calculated as two people per room."
However, the uncle seemed to have started driving. Saint Assad's face was a little blushing, and Li Xiaoming gave a wry smile.
The uncle quickly prepared separate rooms for the two of them. The layout of each room was almost the same, even the interior decoration was the same, which was roughly reflected in the color, brand, and location of the walls, bed sheets, and teacups.
But they are very considerate and have almost everything they need.
It also makes people wonder whether the uncle has obsessive-compulsive disorder. There is almost no difference between the two rooms, and they are facing each other.
"If you feel cold or hot, you can turn on the air conditioner as you like, but you have to pay the electricity bill. This is an additional electricity bill. The water bill is free, as long as you don't let the faucet run all the time and don't waste it."
Zhang Jianjun sat on the floating seat and spoke slowly.
Li Xiaoming nodded and said: "It looks pretty good. This is the 7.5 B list, uncle. We will stay for about a week. If you leave early, you can keep the remaining money."
Uncle Zhang was not polite and quickly took the money and put it in his pocket.
"Okay, don't disturb me if you have nothing to do. If you are interested in having dinner with me, you will need to pay extra."
"Well, what's for dinner?"
"Synthetic steak, broccoli and mashed potatoes, that's probably it. Don't you know your eating habits?"
"I prefer Chinese food. But we've been traveling all day, so I don't mind. What about you, Xiaode?"
St. Assad rolled her eyes at him and said that she was from Rossi. Those were almost the same foods that she had grown up eating, so what was there to be uncomfortable with?
"Whatever, it's better than eating in the desert."
The old man smiled. It seemed that the young couple still needed to communicate.
"Okay, I'll ask my godson to help you prepare it. His cooking skills are great."
"Grandson? Don't you live alone here, uncle?" Li Xiaoming asked curiously.
"It's just a robot responsible for cooking. It's so boring and no one talks to me. Although it's a robot head, it can also tell jokes. I'm quite fond of it and consider it my godson. You can appreciate its cooking skills. Savor it.”
"Huh, I haven't tried robot cooking yet. I wonder if it's comparable to the chef profession."
Uncle Zhang made it clear: "It's definitely not comparable. The machine can only calculate and follow the program, so don't worry, just make do with it."
Li Xiaoming followed the uncle and introduced the robot called his godson.
It is no different from an ordinary bionic human, but it does not have a simulated skin. It looks a bit like the thing on the Purcell. It is considered a cuter type among robots, otherwise it might be a bit creepy at night.
This robot is designed in this way to avoid the uncanny valley effect.
Humans will be very satisfied when the robot's movements and appearance are similar, but if it exceeds a certain limit, the emotion will become disgusting. Even if the robot is slightly similar to humans, the negative emotions will be infinitely expanded (giving people a deformed feeling of the same kind, causing sensory discomfort).
When the robot's appearance and movements are exactly the same as those of humans, this human emotion will dissipate.
Uncle Zhang shouted: "As usual, prepare for three people. Oh, by the way, there are guests, so it will be a little more generous."
The nanny robot nodded, the electronic screen flashed with the ingredients prepared for tonight, and quickly scrolled into the kitchen, and the computer program began to get busy.
The uncle yawned and said: "Wait a moment, you guys sit in the living room and watch TV for a while. You can choose whatever channel you want to watch, just like it's your own home. I'm a little sleepy because of my age, so I'll take a nap first and cook dinner." Okay, call me."
"No problem." Li Xiaoming said yes.
When the other party walked away, Li Xiaoming opened his eyes to explore the void, which was mixed with white and blue, sad and empty.
What's even more terrifying is that there seems to be a humanoid creature following behind, showing a transparent state, and holding something like a pickaxe in its hand.
"I'll go, what is that?"
Li Xiaoming was a little surprised. The uncle treated him quite well. Do you want to do me a favor? Let’s take a look first and then talk.
The uncle gave them the right to use the room with peace of mind, and went to sleep peacefully without worrying that the two young people would have any thoughts on the expensive furniture and property.
Saint Assad was sitting on the sofa in a daze, feeling a little inexplicably depressed along the way, as if she was ill.
What exactly is the reason? When I entered the city to look for a house, I still saw the mechanical Aurora.
Li Xiaoming sat a seat away, looking at the LCD TV in front of him, but the TV was not turned on, and then turned to look at Saint Assad.
"What's wrong with you? You look a little reserved. If you want a beautiful dress, go ahead tomorrow morning. I'm too tired today. Let's take a rest for now."
"Oh, the simple and stupid thoughts in a man's heart."
St. Asad tangled her fingers in her hair and said casually.
"Did I do something wrong? The rooms are separated, and they have been thoughtfully considered to give you privacy. By the way, this is cash from the 10th B list. I may not be with you for a while, so just think of it as borrowing it from me."
Xiaode pushed the money away with a cold look on his face, "Do you think I need your money? I'm just curious, why do you have to wait here for a week? Wouldn't it be better to take the aircraft directly to the University of Warwick?"
Li Xiaoming understood something immediately, hammered his hands and said.
"Do you want to get rid of me earlier? It doesn't matter if you meet someone you know earlier. That's right. After all, this matter has nothing to do with you. As for the air tickets, I will help you book them tomorrow. Don't worry, it's free."
Saint Assad sighed, picked up the remote control from the side, turned on the TV, and watched the city news.
"I find that you are equally smart and stupid. When you are stable, you always like to think from the perspective of a bystander."
Li Xiaoming leaned against the sofa, resting his head on his neck.
"Maybe, we should be considered friends. For your safety, you should go directly to Titan City after arriving here, and then report to the University of Warwick. It is very dangerous to follow me. I'm sorry for not thinking carefully."
Saint Assad directly picked up the pillow and smashed it on his head.
However, the other party nimbly dodged it and put it under his neck, leisurely watching TV.
"You yourself said that we are friends. Although we have not known each other for a long time, we have been through life and death. My intuition is that you must have stayed here for seven days because of some important event, and you yourself said that it is very dangerous. What is it? What are you hiding from me?"
"Children shouldn't ask too much about adults' matters. Besides, it's still my own business. I'm not trusting you yet, so there's no need to tell you."
"I'm an adult." Xiaode shouted angrily, puffing up his proud chest.
After Li Xiaoming finished speaking, he simply closed his eyes and rested his mind. After that, he said nothing more and the two parties fell into silence.
