8192

Qiao Yichen was still thrashing about endlessly in the sea of ​​overtime, but the one at home was much more worry-free.Not to mention doing the laundry and cleaning the floor steadily, the cooking skills have miraculously improved by leaps and bounds.After returning home after working overtime one day, Qiao Yichen threw the "night snack" he made into his mouth while half asleep and half awake, and suddenly exclaimed: "Wow, what is so delicious?"

It still had a stinky face as always: "I used to deliberately disgust you, you really don't know how to think I am?"

Although the home is not as spotless as a hotel suite, it can also be seen that it has been put into order.The clothes you want to wear the next day will always appear in the most conspicuous place in your wardrobe.Asked if it did this on purpose, the answer was only one sentence: "Daydreaming!"

What a dishonest fellow.

Even though he was so busy all day long, Qiao Yichen still noticed its strangeness.Although it didn't turn on the TV all day like before, go to bed when it was full, and didn't mention brother or others again.But whenever it is free, it will sit by the window in a daze in silence, not knowing what to think.

Qiao Yichen was a little uneasy.Because, for a period of time before Georgia disappeared, she also intentionally distanced herself like this.Asked why, but got no answer.

Helplessly, the continuous work and rest were too tortured, and Qiao Yichen didn't have time to think about it carefully.The tail of the year is spent in the busyness of forgetting to eat and sleep like this.Even when his mother called, he only said that he would go back after the New Year's Eve and hurriedly ended the call.Finally, when the last page of the calendar was left, Qiao Yichen returned home with exhausted steps.

Turn on the light, no one is in the living room.Qiao Yichen took a closer look, only to find a big bag bulging under the curtains in the living room.Approached quietly, lifted a corner of the curtain, and the robot curled up in front of the floor-to-ceiling window was leaning against the wall with its eyes closed.

Seeing it was so quiet, Qiao Yichen worried that something might be wrong again.Crouching down, touching its forehead, it resisted slightly, and muttered: "I'm fine..."

"Why don't you charge it when you're tired?" Qiao Yichen also imitated it and sat on the ground.

"I'm not tired." The stretched eyebrows wrinkled into a familiar look again. "It's you, how is your work?"

"Well, it's all done today. There are three days of vacation next..." Qiao Yichen became happy to himself.

"Have you eaten yet? The dinner is in the refrigerator, do you want me to heat it up?"

Hearing it speak decent and standard housekeeping terms, Qiao Yichen replied to it with a smile: "I ate it in the work unit."

This guy is quite likable as long as he works hard.

The robot turned its face away as if it saw something annoying.His eyes turned to the dark sky outside the window, not knowing what he was looking at.

Following its gaze, in the night, there are only countless faint lights showing their insignificant sense of existence.

"You can't see the stars here."

The words that come out of my mouth seem to be talking to myself.

"I remember when I was a child, the sky was always full of stars on the hillside behind my house." Wei Wei had a nostalgic expression.

"At that time, my brother said, when you are unhappy, go look at the sky and think about how small you are as a speck of dust in the universe. Those unpleasant things are not important."

Qiao Yichen was a little nervous, because it was obviously not a topic that could be chatted leisurely.

A moment of silence.

"The cause of my brother's death...you know?"

It spoke without warning.

"..."

The question you ask is the crux of it all.

"Can you tell me?"

If it was under the condition of sufficient rest, Qiao Yichen would still have a chance to make up a false lie.To let it know that when it's so low, it's not—

"You don't have to worry about my feelings." It didn't blame Qiao Yichen for hesitating, but said frankly: "I have vented enough last time, and I won't lose my mind."

"..."

Thinking of the way it cried, Qiao Yichen felt anxious again.

"Is he... sick, or an accident?"

Seeing that Qiao Yichen didn't intend to confess, the robot took a step back and offered the option.

"...Accident." He replied without confidence.

I don't know if it will believe the answer I made up.The robot listened, and just gently closed its eyes.

"really? Thank you."

The entanglement in my heart turned into a sting.

"Tomorrow..." It suddenly opened its eyes, "Father's shop should be open."

What does it want to say?

"I give 'it' back to you."

A quiet, unemotional statement.It was words of farewell.

"Why are you not happy at all." The robot chuckled, "I thought you would be so happy that you wanted to cry?"

That's right, Qiao Yichen did want to cry, and he couldn't explain why he was in such a mood.

In the end, it's just a repeat of the past.8192, who learned of his brother's death, once again chose to delete his memory.

"Why?" Qiao Yichen couldn't help asking.

"Why... wasn't it agreed before?" the robot wondered.

"I'm asking what you think."

Looking at Qiao Yichen who was frowning, the robot was a little surprised.After a while, its eyes gradually softened.

"I was created for Ye Junming." It said lightly, "The reason for my existence is to live in this world as his younger brother."

Qiao Yichen couldn't understand the most obvious truth.

"If he doesn't need me anymore, or like now, he is gone, why should I continue to exist..."

"—Just find one at will."

The interrupted robot looked puzzled.

"What's the reason for existence, wouldn't it be good to just find one of these ghost things? Is it worth you to think hard all day about this kind of thing?"

Qiao Yichen said angrily.

"But--"

"What to eat and drink, the movie I want to watch, the song I like, the game that will be released next month, the pretty girl on the side of the road, can you have as many reasons as these? The brother who has never seen him will not let go?"

The robot wanted to say something, but was blocked by Qiao Yichen.

"Also, have you forgotten one thing? You are the one I bought for housework. You don't want to work for me honestly, and you just think about irrelevant things. You are worthy of my hard work. Did you spend your hard-earned money?"

The robot froze for a moment, then smiled slightly.

That familiar smiling face is so nostalgic.

Qiao Yichen felt like he was dreaming.

Because it was a dream, it was shattered very quickly.It restrained its expression and asked, "Then what about the person you like?"

"..."

"Are you going to give up your beloved one for an irrelevant me? It's unreasonable."

That's right.

Taking a deep breath, Qiao Yichen said solemnly:

"If you don't want to disappear, I won't sacrifice you for it."

Qiao Yichen thought about this question for a long time.Although he didn't get a definite answer, it doesn't mean that he can easily decide the fate of others.

No, this explanation is too hypocritical.Maybe the cowardly self is just avoiding its feelings.

The robot was silent for a long while before uttering a sentence that seemed to be disdainful: "What kind of Godfather theory are you talking about?"

"That's good." Qiao Yichen stood up bluntly, "Tomorrow morning we will go to the second-hand store to find your dad, that's the deal."

After he finished speaking, he didn't lift his foot to walk away. Instead, he sat down again and stared at the robot's aggrieved expression with a smirk.

"Look at you, I'm not like this, and I'm not like that. Do you think I can do what you want, Young Master Ye?"

It seems repulsive to say that.

"Who is Young Master Ye?" It snorted coldly, "How can someone like me deserve to be Ye Junhao?"

"Become it if you want, and no one will compete with you."

"You!—" The robot put on its iconic stinky face.

"Otherwise, your brother who keeps talking all day will become someone else's brother, okay?"

"..."

Qiao Yichen seemed to have successfully poked its weakness.

The robot lowered its head and made no sound.Qiao Yichen was still worried about whether he said something that shouldn't be said, and suddenly heard it say in a muffled voice: "I...can I really exist as Ye Junhao?"

"As you please."

"There are some things that I can't just do."

"Huh? You are the person who most resembles Ye Junhao in the world. We want to be that, but can't we be?"

By the way, why do I want to be Ye Junhao when I'm fine?

The robot burst out laughing.Qiao Yichen continued: "Besides, you have a nose and eyes and can talk and dance. Isn't it all up to you to be who you want to be?"

"..."

After chewing this sentence carefully like an aftertaste, it raised its head.

I... want to survive as Ye Junhao. "

Its profile is quiet and resolute.

"Yeah." Qiao Yichen nodded slightly.

"I don't want this feeling for my brother to disappear."

"..."

Ugh.

Well, well, it won't disappear until it disappears.

This damn brother control.

"Then I'll call you Jun-hao from now on."

Qiao Yichen asked it in a long tone on purpose.

"Who allowed you to be so affectionate?!"

"Ah? This is still called intimacy, otherwise it is called Xiaohao, Ahao, Haohao~~"

"..."

It looked deeply disgusted but couldn't think of a way to fight back.So, the robot simply approached and laughed, "You...what's your name?"

My heart suddenly felt sour.

It even forgot who it was, and of course it couldn't remember its name.

Qiao Yichen stabilized his fluctuating emotions and calmly told the name.

"... Qiao-Yi-Chen?" it repeated.

The same intonation, the same pause, no difference from the person in memory.

"..."

His fingertips trembled uncontrollably.

"Why are you so awkward, why did your parents give you such a difficult name?"

In an instant, his rationality was completely overwhelmed by the surging out of nameless emotions.The robot who thought it was against the general looked at Qiao Yichen proudly, but found that his twinkling eyes were full of disbelief.

Georgia, is that you?

You are always by my side, never leave, right?

The robot naturally understood what was going on immediately.It turned its head a little irritatedly, and gave a resentful "tsk" in its mouth.

Qiao Yichen snapped back to his senses, realizing that he had lost his composure again.

Alas, the old problem happened again.No wonder it is so disgusted with itself.Who can bear such a misleading expression from someone who has never met before?

I wanted to apologize, but felt a little embarrassing.Qiao Yichen hesitated for a long time, the atmosphere was stiff and helpless.

Snapped--!

Suddenly, a huge firework burst out from the sky at the right time.

It must be that the celebration fireworks began to be displayed on the side of the Municipal Square.

Unknowingly, the New Year's bell has sounded.

One, two.The fleeting beauty is replaced by new ones, colorful and endless.

Neither made a sound.Eyes fixed on the splendor of the night sky.

Do you want to say "Happy New Year" to it?

Before he could open his mouth, his jaw was hooked by it.The robot turned Qiao Yichen's head forcefully, and then pressed its lips.

The author has something to say:

Final exams in the second half of April

Papers due in the first half of May

Find time to change

No more don't hate me~~

PS Brother Hao’s love life is so bumpy, don’t blame me for being a big stepmother
