my robot boyfriend

When night falls, other robots will obediently go back to the warehouse shelves to take a break.

I will take advantage of the dead of night and sneak to the green roof on the top floor to watch the stars.

I wonder if my master is also in a small town in the far south at this moment, looking up at the same vast night sky as me.

Before the owner bought me back then, there was already a robot named "Bai Mo" by his side.

Although the configuration is lower than mine, luck has always been better than mine.At least he continued to be with the master when I left him.

It has been several years now, and he should be very outdated.

I wonder if the master still keeps him?

……

The days of staying with the master lasted a total of five years.

At that time, my skin and bones were made of the best materials.After five years, there is no sign of dilapidation or damage, and when standing next to the owner, he will never lose face for the owner.

How is it like today?

The low-quality cheap skin of the small factory has been worn out in just two years, and there is almost no intact place.

I am very clear that I am afraid that the days to come are numbered.

Not to mention expecting someone to take me home—this tattered appearance, even as a free customer service robot, is obviously bringing down the overall image of the company.

The day of the end came earlier than imagined.

The broken and crude me was finally loaded into a regular recycling garbage truck in the middle of the night and sent to the waste station in the eastern suburbs of the city, where I once again faced the familiar incinerator.

The fire was reflected in his eyes, but his mentality was much more numb than last time.

I firmly believe that this time I will not yell the owner's name in vain and crazily, making a meaningless, miserable and hoarse sound like that of an animal before it is about to be slaughtered.

It's just that it would be great if it could be completely over.

I hope that the kernel will not be recycled by some unscrupulous manufacturers, and start this meaningless life again for the third time.

I would be very grateful if I could sleep peacefully from now on.

……

But thinking about it this way, I suddenly felt that, in fact, maybe there is a third time, and it's not a big deal.

I think so, probably because I have already obtained "salvation" in a sense.

As a result, my heart is somewhat magnanimous and relieved, and I will no longer be as painful, unwilling and stubborn as before.

Today——no, it was already two o'clock in the morning, so to be more accurate, it should be "yesterday".

Yesterday... a good thing actually happened.

I met someone.

Although I couldn't get him to take me home, when I think about it at this moment, my heart feels a little bit sweet, even though I feel sour.

I think, if I meet such a person before the end, I should die without regrets, right?

****

"Hey, wake up! Are you okay?"

"Yesterday" at three o'clock in the afternoon.In the dark, someone called me.

The moment he opened his eyes, the raging sunlight immediately burned his eyes.A pair of slender hands stretched out, and the shadows they brought covered the dazzling brightness for me.

Just from the temperature coming through the air, I can clearly know that he is different from me.

Not a cold pile of steel and materials.But warm, fresh life.

……

Against the light, I couldn't see the other person's appearance, but I already had some secret speculations.I think this person is probably... a young master who is well protected in a noble family, has a pure heart, and is ignorant of worldly affairs.

This judgment is based on the experience accumulated over the years - in this era, there are too few human beings who are considerate enough to reach out to help robots block the sun.

Perhaps it can no longer be described as "less", and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is almost extinct.

I adjusted my pupils to adapt to the bright sunlight, and through my fingers, I met a pair of clear smoky eyes.

"Well, are you okay? Is there any discomfort in your body?"

"..."

It's not "self-check the system and repair the damage by yourself", but "is there any discomfort".For artificial intelligence robots, this is really not a question that is often heard.

At first glance, it seems that I am treated as a human being.

……

I certainly don't hate being treated like a human being.

To be precise, wish for it.

I remember that "Bai Mo" was mistaken for a human being several times.

Stories like that will become the talk of any robot thousands of times over a long period of time, and I, who is never tired of hearing this kind of story, can always envy it over and over again.

In recent years, the speed of scientific and technological innovation has been rapid. Even a cheap machine like mine already has a level of simulation that surpasses that of Baimo.

But again, newer and better machines with more lifelike details abound.A cheap product like me is not really going to be mistaken.

"Thank you, I'm fine."

He is in his early 20s and has handsome features.The eyeballs and hair are nearly black, but upon closer inspection they all reveal a strange glass-gray color.

Wearing a pair of flat glasses with black frames, a black windbreaker, a white shirt, and a low-key tie.The clothes are not very expensive brands, but they are simple and stand out.

The demeanor is clean and restrained, revealing some sober caution, completely incompatible with the vain and indulgent drunkenness that is often seen on people's faces in this materialistic era.

"..."

The sun moved westward and hit the side of his mirror frame, refracting a brilliant circle of light.At that moment, there was a sudden roar in the brain, and the heart was even more restless.

An inexplicable delusion—maybe he... is somehow like the master?

At the same time that this thought flashed through my mind, an uncontrollable undercurrent surged in my heart, mixed with terrifying pain and fear and grievance, forcing me to turn my head to avoid his gaze.

No, not right.

not like.It's not like that at all!

There is no similarity in appearance, temperament and dressing are completely different types.

So... why?

I always feel that his face has an indescribably familiar feeling to me.

It was a strange nostalgia mixed with an inexplicable fragrance.The heart seemed to have suddenly fallen into a fragrant chaos, and could never return to the original clarity.

After searching the stored customer information in my mind, I am sure that he is not a customer I have received before.Then they checked the customer records of the entire company - face recognition search, the result was also empty.

But the sense of déjà vu, like a dream, is still lingering.

Not only did I know him, I always felt that I knew him to a certain extent.

I know that he has books on the bedside, and I know that he wants to drink a cup of black tea at four o'clock in the afternoon.I know that he treats people gently on weekdays, but he has always been strong, stubborn, and doesn't know how to back down on key issues.

I also know that he is very principled in other things, but he treats the people around him better than anyone else. If he can hide under his wings, he will be cherished and protected, and he will never be hurt by anyone.

Ah……

I just wanted to despise myself.

How much lack of that little kindness and attention?It was just meeting a slightly friendly human being, and immediately fell into an unrealistic delusion.

"I have a question," he looked down at me, a small smile in his narrow eyes, "can you...stand up by yourself?"

It wasn't until he asked me aloud that I realized that I was actually sleeping on his lap.

【Master, do you still remember what happened when we first met? 】

After a long, long time, I finally got up the courage to ask him.

At that time, he was sitting at the dining table, curling up his fork and eating the assorted shrimp fried noodles I made for him very seriously.

[Umm... how could I forget? 】

【Then, what kind of impression did the master have when he saw me for the first time? 】

He thought for a while: [Overall impression - it's not very good for the heart. 】

【? 】

【First let me directly witness the scene of the fall, and then so handsome that my heart almost stopped beating. ] He sighed.

[When I ran over, I didn't think about the question of what you look like at all.So, wait until it picks you up -- after that, the whole blood tank is empty. 】

Wait, what?

[At that time, the master thought I, I was pretty? 】

How can it be?Although he often said that I was handsome in private, I always thought that was just a polite compliment, or that after a long time of love, my things looked good no matter what.

【Well, it's completely the ideal type of the highest level.I haven't experienced such a thing myself, my heart, and here—] He raised his hand, pointing to his temple, 【Pumping all the way.You don't even know how long I had a headache after I went home that day. 】

Deceiving.

lie!Definitely just to cheer me up!At that time, I remember him very clearly, he was obviously calm the whole time!

[And the voice is super nice, once you open your mouth, it's another [-] crit hit. 】

[In this case,] I held up the table and asked him, [Master, why didn't you just take me home at that time? 】

He froze for a moment: [...Maybe, I'm not such a casual person? 】

【…】

【No, not at all.How should I say it? ] He frowned and thought about it seriously, 【Mainly because he is inexperienced. 】

[This is the first time in my life that I went to a robot franchise store—you were the first one I met before I entered the store.At that time, I was really unclear about many things, and my mind was very confused. Thinking about it now, it was right to take you home. 】

When he said this, he lowered his gray eyes slightly, showing a look of remorse and uneasiness.

[Sorry, don't blame me. 】

He told me not to blame him, and I still regret that I asked such an extra sentence in the end.

Why bring up old things again?He was eating happily just now...

【I don't blame the master, but you have to eat all of these. 】

【no problem. 】He nodded obediently, 【I can have another bowl! 】

The author has something to say: In spring, I’m so hungry, so hungry, I’m really hungry.far eye.

Thank you for throwing thunder
