steel horn

After quitting Skynet, Shao Jun saw Ke Xia contacting Lilith at night.

A year later, the blond-haired Lilith grew taller, and her face also elongated a little. She was a beautiful girl with a curvy face. Her eyes were full of joy: "Senior Xia! Are you cured? I heard that you are cured. I'm so happy for you!" Shao Jun looked at the girl's pure and happy smile without any shadow, as if he didn't know that the year-long struggle of senior Xia in front of him was caused by her own hands. It is catalyzed by the perfume sent out.

Ke Xia said: "Yes, it's all recovered. I'm looking for you because I have a dance party this weekend and I don't have a girlfriend. I'll see if you're free to be my girlfriend?" After finishing speaking, he nodded and sent the details of the reception To Lilith.

Lilith's face seemed to be lit up with sunshine: "Is it the weekend? I will definitely go!"

Ke Xia smiled slightly, and after making an appointment with Lilith, he hung up the communication.

Shao Jun didn't say anything, just avoided him, and called Oude: "The perfume that catalyzed the genetic disease back then—does Lilith know that there is a catalyzing drug in it?"

Ode choked: "She doesn't know, we just asked someone to change the perfume."

After a while, Shao Jun said: "That female student is very similar to his little sister who passed away."

Ode was silent for a while and said, "No, I'm sorry."

However, the night before, Li Lisi called, hesitating, tears were almost streaming down: "Senior Xia, I have something to do at the moment, so I can't go to the dance with you, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry!" She bowed in a hurry , didn't dare to look at Ke Xia again, and hung up.

Ke Xia raised his eyebrows high, Shao Jun was a little worried: "Is she not in trouble?"

Ke Xia shook his head: "It's okay, you'll be fine if you don't go to the ball with me."

Shao Jun seemed to understand something: "Is someone threatening her?"

Ke Xia chuckled, with a little disdain: "It's nothing, I guessed it, I did it on purpose. She wasn't the dance partner I originally chose. It's too complicated and not suitable for children."

Shao Jun was taken aback, but Ke Xia dialed Ling Lan'er's phone number, and simply asked the beautiful Xiaoge to be her dance partner. Ling Lan'er was surprised and delighted, and looked at him and Shao Jun and asked, "How many of you are doing now?" Right? Prom? Tomorrow? Yes, no problem. Is Brother Duin going?"

Ke Xia still had the half-smile on his face: "He's not going, he has a job, I'll lend him to you next time I have a chance, first do me this favor, dress up, I need the most beautiful dance partner, dump me In the audience, there cannot be another woman more beautiful than you."

Ling Lan'er was slightly disappointed when she heard that Shao Jun didn't go, but she still laughed out loud when she heard Ke Xia's voice, and agreed dotingly: "Okay, no problem, it must be the most beautiful one."

After hanging up the phone, Ke Xia went swimming in a good mood.

Shao Jun fell into deep thought.

The next day, Ke Xia drove the shuttle to pick up Ling Lan'er for the dance.

However, Shao Jun went to Skynet, and sought out Skynet’s psychiatrist recommended by Dr. Kerr before, and carefully consulted: “I have a friend who grew up in a wealthy family, but due to some reasons, his family broke up suddenly and he lost his parents. , can only live with the robot nanny, and he is almost 20 years old now, but because of his relatively high mental strength, his physical development is only about fifteen or sixteen years old. Now he seems to have some deviations in his understanding of feelings, maybe It is because he lives with robots for a long time and does not contact outsiders. He believes that robots are the best life partners..."

Shao Jun suppressed the embarrassment that he recalled, and told the psychiatrist exactly what Ke Xia said before, and added: "Recently, I found that he was not quite right when he got along with girls. ..." He considered it carefully for a while, and used a word very carefully: "It seems that he is not involved, but an indifferent bystander, very indifferent to the girl's admiration for him, but he is still polite on the surface , seems to be very gentle and respectful of girls, I feel..."

Thinking of Ruth, he was still a little unwilling to put bad words on Ke Xia, and said cautiously: "I think he seems to be in contact with girls for some purpose. I hope he can have some friends, no matter male or female, at least not Robots can have normal social activities or friendships, be able to tolerate each other’s shortcomings, and be able to distinguish the difference between robots and real humans. Robots can obey him unconditionally, but humans are different, with different personalities and living habits. He should be able to After integrating into society, he has good grades, high mental strength, amazing talent, and was admitted to a very good university...it shouldn't be like this..."

The psychiatrist patiently listened to him for a long time, and then said after a while: "As you said, your friend is indeed too dependent on robots when he has been missing a loved one for a long time, and he will lack some common sense in the process of interacting with normal people." Love and honesty, in-depth communication..."

He probably analyzed for a while, but there was a turning point: "However, in the process of listening to your story, I personally feel that your problem is not small."

Shao Jun was startled: "My question?"

The doctor nodded slightly: "As you said, your friend has high mental strength, good academic performance, strong talent, and has made achievements that many people can't imagine, so he is loved by many women, right?"

Shao Jun said: "Yes."

The doctor smiled: "People with high spiritual power, that is, geniuses in the eyes of ordinary people, sometimes cannot empathize with ordinary people. Excessive spiritual power makes them more sensitive. This is their subconscious to protect themselves. They Talking to ordinary people, I often feel unable to communicate, and IQ is not at the same level, so I can only be condescending and patient, and I often have a sense of detachment that most people feel. In the eyes of ordinary people, they are withdrawn and difficult to communicate. In fact, it is only because of IQ The difference in levels leads to miscommunication."

Shao Jun was dumbfounded: "So when he talks to ordinary people, he is actually being patient?" Is this scumbag like himself an ordinary person...

The doctor smiled again: "Also, it doesn't matter if you like to be with robots, whatever gender you like, or even just be alone. In fact, as long as you are happy and don't hurt other people, it's fine. It's not a bad thing This is not to say that it must be right to marry and have children like ordinary people. Especially for geniuses with high spiritual power that are far superior to others in certain fields, they often cannot find a partner who is compatible with them. But they can generally find the joy of life, or career, or the constant pursuit of certain truths, or other things in other places, and you'd better change your concept slowly."

"Your thinking is actually very similar to the mentality of a parent who cares about his child for a long time. He hopes that the child can choose the path that he thinks is good and easy. But as you said, this child is very good, and he will seek for himself. Happy things are not necessarily the path that parents feel comfortable with, such as socializing with normal people, marrying beautiful girls, giving birth to children, raising children, these are not necessarily what he wants, you care so much He should find what he really wants, and it is better to support him."

"He's used to the company of robots, and he doesn't need to be too forceful. Of course, he's still young. You can try to let him get in touch with more people and add some other robots to his life, so that he can gradually get used to not only treating certain people A robot’s psychological dependence, and then slowly increase contact with people, try to make friends, but these prerequisites are his willingness, don’t quit blindly and randomly, don’t interrupt his sense of psychological identity, he has a clear understanding of himself , you can guide him to gradually recognize it.”

"And as a person who cares about him, you have to overcome your tendency to rely on him and control him, and you must grasp the boundaries. When the child is admitted to college and grows up, he will have his own hobbies, his own Your ideals and your plans for your spouse and future may not necessarily conform to your imagination, you need to let go and support him, but don't control him."

Shao Jun got off the Skynet and pondered for a long time alone.

Even if Ke Xia is willing to spend the rest of his life with a robot, it's not necessarily wrong.

But I am not a robot, I am a human being. Long-term care has given me the desire to control as a parent, hoping to control my children to grow up and live according to my own ideas.Because during the long and meticulous care of the other party for more than a year, the other party ate and drank, and every step was under his control, so he unknowingly had an illusion and forgot himself. The subordinates in Xia's life regard Ke Xia's future as their own future, and Ke Xia's life as their own life.

Shao Jun let out a long breath, remembering his original plan, when Ke Xia was admitted to the military academy, he should slowly fade out and live his own life.

It's not for a long time. Even if Ke Xia wants to live with a robot for a lifetime, he is not a robot, and he can't perfectly obey him and follow his ideas.

Shao Jun pondered in the dark for an unknown amount of time, and heard the gentle reminder from the lotus: "Hello, Mr. Du Yin, Mr. Xia's shuttle has stopped in the courtyard. The dance is over, do you need to go out to greet him?"

Shao Jun stood up and said, "Okay, thank you Lianhua."

Lianhua said softly: "You're welcome."

Shao Jun was thinking about the current situation as he walked out. Fortunately, the military academy is a boarding house, so a natural separation is possible. Obviously, Ke Xia has also adapted well. Next, he will wait for Hua Jianfeng to come back. By the way, Ke Xia is about to graduate.

Graduation - it's not easy to take myself to the army again, when the time comes, it's time to say goodbye.

He stopped and watched Ke Xia get off the shuttle. He was wearing a gorgeous evening dress with a snow-white and complicated lace shirt collar turned up at the neckline, tight pants and boots wrapped his exceptionally slender legs, and his golden hair Shining brightly, with bright blue eyes, it was obvious that he had passed the night quite satisfactorily. Nightingale, the queen of songs, was his female partner tonight, and they must be the brightest stars on the dance floor without a doubt.

He'll be fine, even without himself.

It's just that before parting, he should be given a gift.

Shao Jun greeted him with a slight smile, making a silent decision in his heart.
