As his body continued to sink in the darkness, Qiao Yichen understood that he was just escaping from reality.But he didn't want to open his eyes, didn't want to face everything in front of him.It doesn't matter anymore, good things, bad things, and that person, those unacceptable facts.

Stretching out his hand to tighten the quilt, Qiao Yichen burrowed into the depths of the quilt again.He didn't bother to ask whose bed it was and why he was here.For him now, only the unconscious dream is the relief.However, someone outside the house obviously refused to give him even a good dream.

The TV in the living room was blaring.Walking to the door and smelling the smell of cigarettes carefully, Qiao Yichen only felt a splitting headache.The cold that had been barely suppressed turned back like revenge.As soon as the door was opened, the choking air made Qiao Yichen cough violently.

It was as if he had squeezed his lungs into flowers and then flattened them. When he finally stopped, his throat was so hot that he couldn't even swallow his saliva.

He raised his head with tears in his eyes, and the crooked person on the sofa was indeed that vicious guy who could not be described too much with any vicious words.It has cigarettes in its left hand and beer in its right hand. Potato chips, chocolate, instant noodles and various candies that he usually keeps to satisfy his hunger are scattered on the table.Naturally, there were no good programs on the TV in the early morning. The guy picked up the remote control and pressed it randomly, and then threw it heavily at his hand.

Since returning home from get off work yesterday, Qiao Yichen hasn't had a drop of water, let alone eaten anything.Although because of the bad mood, I really don't have an appetite now if I want to say what to eat.But the hungry man, after experiencing a series of physical attacks, psychological blows, three-view smashers and verbal humiliation from unscrupulous guys, is he going to be eaten up by this thing?

I don't know if the chest is full of uncontrollable anger or unspeakable grievance.Why did this happen to me?He didn't steal or rob, he didn't hurt anyone.He just wants to live his ordinary life in a normal way.Why?Why did reality give him this ending?

The weak mood was swept away.Qiao Yichen didn't want to expose his weaknesses in front of annoying guys.He frowned and walked to that guy, and said coldly:

"I'm not feeling well, can you please lower your voice."

What came out of his mouth was a low and hoarse voice.

"It's none of my business if you're comfortable?"

"..."

It should be said that Qiao Yichen had expected this answer.

The robot gave itself a blank look, then picked up a biscuit and threw it into its mouth.

Not to be outdone, Qiao Yichen retorted:

"Where do you go to charge when I die?"

"Ah……"

"This person is unreasonable" on the robot's face.

"I just went to find my brother when you died. I can't wait."

The corners of his eyes burned up unconsciously.

Taking a deep breath, Qiao Yichen forced himself to calm down.This thing is not Georgia.It's just a nuisance out of nowhere in the same skin as Georgia.Don't feel hurt by its petty bickering.It's okay, it's okay, it's just irrelevant people.

"I told your dad that if I die, someone will chop you up."

Qiao Yichen's expression didn't change, and he said something completely out of order.

"You are my robot, I can chop you up whenever I want. You can try it if you don't believe me."

These words were fierce, but the guy didn't care at all.

"Are you willing to?"

With that heart-wrenching face on its face, it stood up and walked in front of its eyes in a daze.

"Are you willing to never see it again?"

It obviously knows where its weaknesses lie.As expected, this sentence made Qiao Yichen cry hoarsely again.

There was no smile on the robot's face.It just curled its lips with complicated eyes and muttered:

"As for you..."

***

Surrounded by darkness again, Qiao Yichen's spirit was already in a semi-dissociated state.So Qiao Yichen didn't know what happened until he woke up in the hospital ward and saw Yang Haorui with a worried face.

Lao Yang's expression was also very tired. He said that this time he had burned for too long, dehydration and mild pneumonia, and if it wasn't for his good luck, he would almost have met the King of Hades.

Struggling to sit up, Qiao Yichen felt that everything around him lacked a sense of reality.He has never been seriously ill since he was a child, and he rarely even comes to the hospital.Staring at the transparent liquid in the hanging bottle falling drop by drop, he couldn't help being in a daze.

At this time, Lao Yang who just said to leave for a while opened the door and came back.He thoughtfully bought a box lunch and brought hot water, and then approached himself deliberately as a prank: "Do you want me to feed you?".

Qiao Yichen smiled lightly.

Quietly eating the box lunch bought by Lao Yang, Qiao Yichen asked him why he came.Lao Yang said that he skipped a day's shift for no reason, and he couldn't find anyone on the company phone, so he came to ask him.When he arrived here after get off work, he realized that he was already unconscious.

"It's not at home."

Qiao Yichen asked calmly.

Lao Yang nodded with a serious expression, and said that the door of the house was not locked.

My heart seemed to be relieved at last, and it seemed that some new injuries had been added.

Seeing that he wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, Qiao Yichen simply told the whole thing.Seeing that Yang Haorui didn't react in any surprise, Qiao Yichen said indifferently, "You already knew, didn't you?"

The weird interaction between the two after that drinking party, Georgia's hesitation to speak, intentionally keeping a distance, and that bitter smile in the autumn wind, I finally knew the reason for all this.

And in such a heart-wrenching way.

"It's two extremes to you and Cheng Xiao to me—" Lao Yang said, covering his forehead with his hands, "so I can easily see it. I asked if it was not afraid of disappearing, and it said... ..."

Yang Haorui looked at himself worriedly, but did not continue.

Indicating that he was fine, Qiao Yichen waited quietly for him to speak.

"It says it's just worried, the original self doesn't want to be by your side."

Feeling the cold liquid pouring into the back of his hand, Qiao Yichen closed his eyes.

***

Speaking of which, Yang Haorui was just recovering from a serious illness.Qiao Yichen couldn't bear to let him suffer, and wanted to drive him back early.As a result, this real brother refused.He stubbornly stayed in front of the bed for a long time, tilted his head and almost fell asleep, and then insisted on driving himself back at dawn.

Opening the door of the empty house, Qiao Yichen collapsed on the floor without turning on the light.It wasn't a physical problem. When he left the hospital, he felt that he had almost recovered.It's just that I don't know how to get rid of this ashes-like emotion.Turning over on the hard floor, staring at the empty ceiling with dim eyes.Suddenly, there was a flash of light, followed by a familiar electronic sound.

When I got up and found something, it turned out to be the low battery reminder of the mobile phone.After plugging in the power, the mobile phone is densely packed with calls from the boss, colleagues and Lao Yang, with two text messages from the owner of the second-hand shop mixed in between.

"Is the child with you?"

Qiao Yichen quickly replied with one word: yes.

Another one.

"Come over and talk sometime."

Qiao Yichen turned off the phone.

Let's talk about it when we have time, he doesn't want to think about those issues now.

No, it's not that I don't want to, it's that I don't have the energy.

The things in front of him had exhausted him.

The hospital prescribed a hanging bottle for a week.Qiao Yichen decided to go to the work unit to hand in a leave note in the morning, and then come back to have a good rest.

Opening the closet, Qiao Yichen found strangely that the black down jacket he used to wear was gone.

Because when Lao Yang took him to the hospital, he just wrapped him in some blanket and left, so it stands to reason that the coat should still be there.Not only down jackets, but also scarves, gloves and woolen hats are gone.After thinking about it for a while, Qiao Yichen suffocated again.

It must be that guy again.

Do you need to take away some clothes before leaving?

I hurriedly went to the cash drawer and looked through it, and indeed a few banknotes were missing.But a few days ago, I just took out a lot to prepare to pay the rent.If this guy wants to take all of them, what's the point of keeping a few?

Retired, he picked up the phone again, and opened the robot positioning software with a stinky face.Hmph, you're still downstairs in your own house after running for so long, you stupid bastard.

Putting on two thick autumn coats, Qiao Yichen went downstairs agitatedly.As soon as the cold wind blew in front of the door, he immediately coughed painfully.Thinking that it wouldn't take long, Qiao Yichen bit the bullet and walked towards the destination pointed by the phone.

The place is not far, near the supermarket in the community.The sky is already slightly bright, but not bright enough to see everything clearly.The street with the street lights turned off has a blue-gray hue.It didn't take long for Qiao Yichen to find his target in the gap between the two floors.

It was wearing its own black down jacket, gray wool hat and scarf, curled up in the corner, with an inexplicable angry expression on its face.

Qiao Yichen still coughed helplessly for a long time.It followed the sound and noticed itself, and the expression on its face became more and more unwilling.

Calculating the time is almost up, Qiao Yichen put on the posture of the master, and said calmly:

"Why, without me, are you looking for a place to charge?"

Center the red heart.

The robot wanted to refute arrogantly, but couldn't say anything.

Qiao Yichen was physically and mentally exhausted, and didn't want to say anything, so he simply turned around and walked back.After walking two steps, seeing that it didn't keep up, he turned around and said, "Don't walk and pull down."

Out of the corner of the eye, it caught sight of its face.There was something resembling grievance in its eyes, coupled with the familiar innocent expression, it looked very much like that person.

Qiao Yichen's heart softened, he walked up to it helplessly, and asked angrily, "Can you stand up?"

It pursed its lips and propped up its knees with great effort.He picked up a huge white plastic bag on the ground.

I didn't notice it when it was dark just now, but at this time it was under the light orange morning sun, and Qiao Yichen finally saw clearly that what was in the pocket was a fever-reducing sticker in a bright yellow package.

Slightly stubbornly snatched the plastic bag over, it was not willing to give it at first.Qiao Yichen counted: cold medicine, cough syrup, instant porridge, red bean paste bread, chocolate, baby warmer, barbecue-flavored potato chips, expensive hard pack of cigarettes, two cans of beer, sports drinks... Finally, there was still A big grapefruit.

It just stood there stupidly, its eyes looking away deliberately.Like that, seems to be shy?

Qiao Yichen suddenly felt guilty.

Maybe I have misunderstood it all along.

This guy just has a bad mouth, so it seems that his heart is not that bad.

"It's just something to buy, why don't you squat here and not go home?"

Qiao Yichen's tone softened completely.

It immediately replied unconvinced: "Who made your parents be so stereotyped? I, I—" Halfway through the sentence, he realized that he was digging his own grave, and closed his mouth resentfully.

Only then did Qiao Yichen realize that among the robots, there were also Lu Chi.

The more he thought about it, the more he found it interesting, so he simply laughed.Smiling and laughing, my throat was filled with phlegm, and it turned out to be another burst of coughing.

This bag is quite heavy with a grapefruit.Thinking that it was short of battery and had no strength, I should carry it by myself, Qiao Yichen refused the robot's move to reach out to get the bag back.Just after taking two steps, a gust of cold wind blew by, tinnitus sounded in my head, and I almost lost my heel, and I was about to pass over.

A pair of hands behind him suddenly supported him, and then his head was warm, and the scarf was wrapped around his neck.Qiao Yichen obediently let the robot transfer its full body equipment to him.When it saw the scabbed pinhole on the back of its hand, it frowned and wanted to say something, but it didn't open its mouth after all.

It wore only a T-shirt under its down jacket.Qiao Yichen saw that it had to take off even this one, so he quickly said no, no need, and he would be home soon.It firmly wrapped itself in clothes, raised Qiao Yichen's hands, then turned around, and carried him like this.

The feeling of your feet off the ground is a little scary.After struggling a little, the guy in my arms said impatiently: "It's not the first time, please calm down."

Did it carry it home that day?

The robot walked unsteadily.I asked it worriedly: "Do you have enough power?" It just said, I can use it for three days if I charge it overnight. Do you think you know better than me?

Qiao Yichen was indeed tired.He thought he could last a little longer after the infusion, but he still felt confused on his generous and warm back.

The body slid down, and the person in his arms arched up with all his strength.Holding it tightly around its neck, the nostalgic hum of the machine rang softly in my ears.

Qiao Yichen endured again and again, but failed to resist the complete defeat of reason.

"Georgia..."

The warmth in my arms is all too familiar.Qiao Yichen thought that the self-indulgence these days had allowed him to walk out of a dead end, put away his needless fragility, and return to his original self.However, at this moment, he failed again.

The robot snorted.

Pressing his face against the warm back of his neck, Qiao Yichen broke down in tears.The robot moved its head away in disgust:

"Hey, hey, don't rub your nose on me!"

"Georgia—"

The annoying snot-nosed man behind him began to immerse himself in his own little world again and couldn't get out.The robot sighed helplessly, arched the human being who was about to slide up again, and then said in despair:

"Yes, yes, good good."

"Yes, I love you, I love you to death."

"Don't worry, I will always be by your side—"

"...my dear master."

The author has something to say:

Don't ask me how the robot remembers the way with Xiao Qiao on its back~~
