8192

8192R went to see 7035.

It didn't talk about him, but asked directly: "Do you like him?"

"I like it." 7035 said.

"I like it so much."

It said lightly.

There is no expression of joy or shyness on the face of robot 7035, rather, it seems to be laughing at itself.

"so what."

it asked.

8192R is tongue-tied.It didn't expect 7035 to have feelings for its owner at all.The master clearly said that his friend had a crush on robots for many years, so——

"The person he likes has never been me."

This sentence made 8192R shiver fiercely.That feeling, as if one's own thoughts were forcibly spread out.

"8192, do you think that a robot that loses memory is the same as a human that loses memory?"

8192R cannot answer.

"The human spirit and body are one from birth. Even if they lose their memory, they can still be said to have the same soul."

Its eyes are empty and indifferent, like inorganic glass beads.

"After the robot deletes the data in the brain, what is left?"

Yeah, what's left?

Doesn't this just explain his alienated attitude and the seemingly irreparable relationship between the two?

No, it's not a question of remediation at all.Maybe, I never had him.

Maybe he is not 8192 at all.

8192 is a copy of Ye Junhao, but when did it really become Ye Junhao.I am a copy of 8192, but with the same memory and appearance, can I say that I am 8192?

"You're okay, you haven't forgotten too much. Me, I forgot everything." 7035 said.

"Cheng Xiao's matter, 7035's matter, everything is gone."

Its eye sockets seemed a little red.

"I have nothing in common with the old 7035 except my appearance and serial number. I know he likes Cheng Xiao, but so what?"

7035 gradually became excited.

"I once wanted to retrieve my past memories. Dr. Xu said that there is no backup record in the database. My memory was not manually deleted."

"I started the emotional prohibition procedure."

So, it—

"It's ridiculous, Yang Haorui doesn't believe my words."

"..."

"He doesn't believe Cheng Xiao is in love with him. Nor does he believe my feelings."

8192R didn't know what to say.

"I confessed to him, but he refused."

"..."

"Is there anything else you want to ask about this matter?"

Until the end, 8192R still failed to say that sentence.

That sentence, perhaps the real reason why its owner rejected it, 8192R couldn't say it.

Afterwards, 8192R asked 7035 why it returned to the factory mode after starting the emotional prohibition program, but did not leave the memory of Cheng Xiao as a human being. 7035 said that it was not born as a copy of human Cheng Xiao.According to its mother, because the bureau suddenly received an urgent order, they temporarily changed a blank robot that had already left the factory into a robot for the SYL plan.It also said, cherish the memory you have, it is something that it cannot beg for anyway, and it is an incomparably precious thing.

The precious memories it talks about, but 8192R can't wait to delete them all.Needless to say about Ye Junhao's life, the short time he was 8192 made him extremely disgusted.If it wasn't for the fact that he liked someone like the 24-year-old Ye Junhao, it might really ask his father to delete his memory.Oh, 8192R laughed.

Haven't you done the same thing before?

If the eight-year memory of being 8192 is deleted, will he be closer to the person he likes?

8192R began to seriously consider this issue.

Back home, 8192R didn't tell the truth to the man.It is impossible to tell him that a robot that has lost its memory is no longer the original person.Although, it felt that he had faintly noticed this.

It just said that 7035 has not considered this issue, and does not want to consider it.

He seemed to accept the answer.

Another lie was added between the two.

When embracing him in the dark, 8192R felt some guilt that could not be relieved.Will the future built with countless lies end in happiness?

When the fallen leaves started to turn yellow, the man suddenly asked, "Do you want to meet your sister?"

8192R was taken aback.elder sister?

Only then did it remember that it had such a "relative" who was still alive.

A year ago, when the two met in a second-hand store, he mentioned this "sister".Turns out the 8192R completely forgot about it.After nodding, the man excitedly started to talk about the meeting, but 8192R was somewhat resistant.

It doesn't dislike Xie Yuelin, it can even be said to like her very much.But everything related to the word "Ye Junhao" will make him feel physically disgusted.Because of the identity of "Ye Junhao", it has suffered too much.So it intentionally distances itself from the past to avoid unpleasant feelings.But it couldn't tell him about it.Because it had lied to him that it had not been treated unduly.

8192R feels a bit difficult to ride a tiger.

On the appointed day, 8192R bit the bullet and attended the meeting.It was already mentally prepared, but it was still taken aback by the age marks on Xie Yuelin's face.The last time I saw her was about... 11 years ago.After experiencing the death of her husband and family misfortune, a woman who raises her daughter incognito alone will age so quickly.

It has a slightly sour nose.

The woman cried, crying very sadly. 8192R doesn't understand, it's obviously not Ye Junhao, and it has nothing to do with her.Why did she pour her feelings into such a self?

Is this the value of one's own existence?

"Sister." It said softly.

She cried even harder. 8192R handed her a tissue, and held her trembling hand tightly until she slowly calmed down.

After the mood stabilized, Xie Yuelin's expression seemed to return to that cheerful and carefree girl back then.She smiled heartlessly and asked how it has been doing these years. 8192R answered carefully, avoiding the important point, for fear that an inadvertent slip of the tongue would cause the man to catch the flaw.

She and Ye Junming's daughter were sitting next to her.The little girl who was hugged by her mother back then has long since grown into a graceful and beautiful girl.According to her mother, she just started high school this fall.The girl had short hair, and for some reason she had a stubborn expression on her face. When 8192R looked away, he even found a trace of... something resembling hostility in her eyes.

???

8192R didn't think much, just chatting slowly with Xie Yuelin.When the meal slowly bottomed out, the man got up and said, leave the table for a while. 8192R thought, he might go to the bathroom.Before long, the girl also went out.The two didn't come back for a long time.

Xie Yuelin was a little puzzled, 8192R said, I'll look for them.

The entrance of the restaurant was a beautifully built garden terrace, and the two were sitting on a carved bench with their backs to themselves, talking about something.

8192R approached them lightly, using an old sycamore tree to hide himself.

It was the girl's words that came to my ears first."Stop smoking," she said.

Him, smoking?

"Sorry, not in the future." The man replied.

It seems that they are far closer than they imagined.

"What are you worried about?" she said.

"I'm not worried."

"Liar."

The man smiled and didn't speak.

"Every time you tell a lie, you put it off with a smile. Do you think I can't see it?"

The girl turned to look at him. 8192R was surprised to find that the way she looked at him was completely different from the way she looked at herself.It also finally understood why she was full of hostility towards herself.

She and herself are probably in love with the same person.

8192R suddenly became uneasy.Although this child is young, she is a human being, a girl, and there is no heavy past with him, and there is no rigid atmosphere when getting along with him.All the conditions are proving that being with her is much happier than living in anxiety with her dull and boring self.

And this little girl seems to be striving for her own happiness too.She stood up and said eagerly: "Brother Chen, do you want to keep locking yourself in the past?"

"It doesn't remember you anymore?"

Her words were nailed to his heart like iron nails.

8192R couldn't see the man's expression.

"If you look around, you can see how big the world is. Your life is not just a circle surrounded by you."

She was right, and that's exactly what 8192R was trying to say.The difference with her is that because of selfish desires, she did not hesitate to use that ring to tie him by her side.

"Xiao Yu..." the man opened his mouth.

"When you grow up, you have your own ideas and your own little world."

The girl looked annoyed.

"Take care of yourself," the man said, "and leave me alone."

"But I-"

"In my life, I should never fall in love with anyone else again."

The man seemed to know what she was going to say, and gave the ultimatum lightly.

"Then you want to go on like this with that robot forever?"

the girl asked back.

The man was stunned, and so was 8192R.Neither of them expected that this thin piece of paper, which the two of them had avoided touching, would be pierced so easily by an outsider.

8192R held his breath, not knowing how he would respond.The man has been silent until the sound of the dead leaves of the plane tree falling to the ground becomes harsh.At the end of the silence, there was a sentence so vague that it was almost unintelligible.

"I do not know either……"

8192R is relieved that he will not be a stumbling block to his new life.It has long understood that it is just a copy of 8192, and this kind of life is only temporary.It also understands that this person has not fallen in love with himself at all, and will not in the future.Didn't he say that he will never fall in love with anyone else in this life.Since he can't be the 8192 in his heart, then he is no different from that girl named "Xiao Yu".

8192R felt that he was fairly strong.It pretended nothing happened and went back to the restaurant, telling Xie Yuelin that they would come later.After a while, the girl came back with red eyes.The man finally showed up belatedly.After the dinner party, everyone went home with their own concerns.

The man's whole state was not right after the afternoon.His expression was gloomy, and his words were much less.Was he feeling bad for rejecting the girl?

8192R didn't know how to comfort him.

The feelings of "others" will trouble him to such an extent?

If he knew his feelings, it would only be more troublesome.After all, as a replica, I have hidden selfishness.No matter how magnanimous he is, such an excuse is unacceptable.

Maybe, the relationship between the two will end here.

No, absolutely not to let him know.

To him, this feeling is just superfluous, something that will bother him, something that shouldn't exist.

Turning off the desk lamp, 8192R approached him as usual and wanted to hug him, but the man pulled away slightly, and asked hesitantly, "Do you...do you feel so crowded lying down?"

8192R doesn't understand what he's trying to say.

"Do you want to... move the bed in the living room to the bedroom?"

It understood what he meant.

"If you think I'm in the way, I'll sleep in the living room."

"No, no, that's not what I meant." The man quickly grabbed its sleeve, "I just think, I... haven't heard much about you."

Um?How are these two things connected? 8192R was confused, but still asked him: "What do you want to hear?"

"No... that is, you can say it when you want, I—"

"Whatever you want to hear, I will say it."

In addition to the things related to that lie being briefly mentioned, 8192R slowly revealed the experience of being 8192 for eight full years, including how it was taken home by Ye Junming, how it was plotted against by that vicious woman, how it witnessed the death of its father, The dynasties of the Ye family changed.Chen Qi was beautified in its memory, and in order to protect it, it was arranged in a place where no one could find it.The so-called "basement" has ample space, complete facilities and free living.The man believed in its words, which made 8192R heave a sigh of relief.Gradually, his eyelids became heavy.

8192R turns its head.It was found that the man was leaning on its shoulder and fell asleep quietly.

Without the usual intimate contact, without the suffocating kiss, without the forced sleep after exhaustion, the man just fell asleep peacefully.Afraid of waking him up, 8192R didn't take him into his arms.It just gently held his hand until the fingers interlocked.

I'm afraid that in the near future, I will lose even his body temperature.

8192R is desperate, but helpless.

The author has something to say:

Don't misunderstand Xiao Qiao, he and the wooden head 8192R are thinking about two different things.
