High abuse warning!High abuse warning!High abuse warning!Important things are said three times!Today is another day of headshots (laughing) I beg for all kinds of feeds~ Comparing my heart~

Although those days have passed for a long time, for a long time, Qin Yan really used o419 as Xun Ruoqing's substitute.

Even the initial address for o419 was "Ruoqing".I have called o419 like this for nearly two years.

It wasn't until Xun Ruoqing unexpectedly flew back from the other side of the ocean due to family reasons that he hastily changed his words.

In fact, he hadn't been aware of the problem at all.

Until Xun Ruoqing informed him that he would come to visit at home, he replied casually: "Okay, I'm at home, Ruoqing, just come over directly."

o419 answered next to him: "Master, I'm right here."

He suddenly realized: something is wrong!

As soon as he hung up the phone, he immediately forced o419 to change his words.

"Ah?" o419 didn't react for a moment, "Isn't that my name?"

"Yes, it's not your name." Qin Yan nodded, "I just called someone on the phone—it was that human's name. Bionics don't have names..."

"But, master, you have always called me that."

"Well, I made a mistake before. That's how it is." Qin Yan didn't know how to explain this problem to it—in fact, at that time, he was excited and nervous because Xun Ruoqing came back alone, and he didn't have the time to think about it. explain.

"Then..." o419 asked again, "From now on, what should I be called?"

Qin Yan didn't expect it to ask such a question, and was taken aback for a moment: "Number? 419? 19? 9? ——In short, whatever the other bionics are called, you can call them whatever."

As he spoke, he pushed o419 into the stairwell: "Shut down, shut down, where is the shutdown button..."

O419 was pushed back again and again by him: "Why did you suddenly shut down? If it's not absolutely necessary, it's better..."

At that time, Qin Yan only thought about when Xun Ruoqing would come, and what if he saw the exact same face as o419... Wow, I couldn't even imagine that scene.

He was so anxious that he didn't care about o419's mood, he almost pushed o419 into the closet, leaned against its shoulder and said in a threatening tone: "It's okay to not turn off the phone, just wait a while, no matter what happens, it's not okay Make any noise, got it?"

o419 blinked: "Understood."

"Are you sure?" Qin Yan was still worried.

o419 nodded: "I am your bionic man. I will definitely carry out your orders."

Qin Yan wanted to explain a few more words.

But there was too little time—there was already a hasty doorbell ringing at the door.

He had to resign himself to locking the closet door and running out quickly.

The door of the closet is of the shutter type - it is not closed, and the wooden strips on the diagonal side of the door are ventilated, and do not block sound and sight...

Qin Yan was used to pretending in front of Xun Ruoqing, and he didn't show any signs of abnormality.

But in fact, from the moment Xun Ruoqing entered the house, he was very nervous—worried that Xun Ruoqing would find clues through the cracks in the closet, worried that o419 would not keep his promise, make a loud noise or simply walk out...

It wasn't until he sent Xun Ruoqing away properly and returned home that he gave a big sigh of relief.

The back of the clothes is soaked.

I was so tired that I lay on the sofa and couldn't say a word for a long time.

Usually at such times, o419 would considerately bring tea and snacks, and if there were no other housework, o[-] would stay to give him a relaxing massage.

But today, after waiting for a long time, o419 did not come.

Only then did Qin Yan remember that o419 was still in the closet, so he hurriedly stood up, walked to the closet in two steps, and opened the door——o419 stood motionless at the same angle as when he was stuffed in in the morning, staring at the door. With a pair of inorganic eyes shining with metallic luster, he quietly looked straight ahead without any expression.

The o419 is a prototype, and there are very few matching expressions. Except for the "smile" that was paid for to please Qin Yan, most of the time, there are no expressions—but, generally speaking, it is always Like a calm, inarticulate human being.

And now, it's like a lifeless puppet.

Qin Yan has never felt so clearly that it is a bionic person.

Not knowing what to do for a while, I just coughed lightly in embarrassment.

o419's eyeballs moved: "Master."

Qin Yan touched his nose: "It's ok. It's over. You can, you can come out."

"Yes, master." o419 replied politely in a rather "bionic person" manner.

So distant.

Qin Yan couldn't help being stunned for a moment.But he didn't say much.

He originally thought that o419 had a lot of questions to ask, so he secretly made a draft in his mind, thinking about how to deal with this situation with a logic acceptable to bionics — bionics are not like humans, their thinking is always too clear , even a slight mistake can't get through.

However, the large set of rhetoric he had prepared and thought he was quite feasible did not come in handy.

o419 didn't ask anything.

After that, whenever it heard the name "Xun Ruoqing", it always consciously hid in the closet and closed the door obediently—for ten years, it never made a sound.

At that time, the young Qin Yan sighed in admiration: As expected of the bionic man designed by Xun Ruoqing, this consciousness is too good.

Come to think of it now...

If androids are not just household appliances.

If that reaction wasn't just a conditioned reflex under programming.

in case……

Qin Yan didn't dare to think about it.

It was night, when he was alone with o419, he solemnly apologized to o419—even though he felt that apologizing for such a thing was useless.This belated apology is not so much for seeking o419's forgiveness, as it is for freeing myself from the torment of conscience...

o419 neither accepted nor resisted.

it……

Can not remember.

"Has there ever been such a thing?" It asked back, blinking its eyes - at such a close distance, Qin Yan could clearly see the marks left after its eyeballs were soaked by tears.He originally thought it was a proof that o419 was happy in bed, but now it seems that it is not like that at all...

"Yes." Qin Yan replied.The voice is hoarse.

"Even if you did, there's no need to apologize," o419 said calmly, with a relaxed and innocent ignorance, "Nuo Nuo often hides in the closet now. It's nothing."

Qin Yan wanted to say something else.

He opened his mouth, but couldn't make a sound—he remembered Xun Ruoqing's words: o419 cut off all "emotional pollution" by itself.

We got along so well before, there was nothing unaccustomed to it, as if everything went back to the past smoothly, which made him almost think that Xun Ruoqing had made a mistake—that o419 hadn't actually lost his memory...

But now, he finally understands what memories o419 lost...

Seeing his distraught appearance, o419 tried to comfort him, saying things like "Androids are legally equivalent to electrical appliances, so it's normal to stay with vacuum cleaners", "Many androids live in closets".

But Qin Yan knew that there was no more stern rejection than this—o419 had already cut off all possible paths for him to explain and apologize before he had time to realize how cruel he was.

or...

It doesn't want to listen to such cheap words after the fact.
