SHEEP

After meeting Jian Yunxian, Yi Heye learned how to cry, but this was the first time he shed tears because of a simple grievance without any pain or any acting elements.

It was the same as before, once the usually plain and watery emotions exceeded the tolerance limit, he would face a collapse-like explosion. He hugged the phone tightly with both hands, and buried the whole thing in the quilt. Even he himself couldn't figure it out, how could he Cry so sad.

He suddenly felt a little ashamed, so he gritted his teeth and tried his best to hold back his tears, but he didn't expect that the more he endured, the more uncomfortable he became.

In the room, the computer's camera flickered, and a pair of emerald eyes were hidden behind the back, staring at Yi Heye who was wrinkled from crying.

From the question Yi Heye asked himself today, Jian Yunxian knew that this guy really cared about the essence of "emotion".

Maybe even he didn't realize that Jian Yunxian's data processing method was the type he feared and rejected most in his heart. From that moment on, Jian Yunxian felt that he really shouldn't continue to hurt him anymore. .

Jian Yunxian originally thought that he should leave quietly when he fell asleep, but he never expected that the child would be wronged like this.

This guy has always been stingy with expressing emotions. Apart from being unable to hide his anger, happiness and sadness are always subconsciously suppressed by him.

At this moment, he was the only one left in the whole room, even so, he still didn't dare to cry happily, but subconsciously cried out not long after, swallowed the sound back into his stomach, only trembling and sobbing remained.

Jian Yunxian looked at the way his chest heaved violently, afraid that he would make something wrong with him, until he saw this guy biting his own lip in order not to cry, he finally couldn't help it.

"Hey, don't be sad..."

When Yi Heye opened his eyes, he saw a soft holographic lamb nestling gently in his arms.

Yi Heye was crying sadly, when a sudden voice interrupted his rhythm.

He looked up at the lamb in a daze, tears were still hanging on his eyelashes, his whole face was full of bewilderment and ignorance.

The lamb looked up at him, stretched out two little hooves to hold his face, and then, like a cute plush pet, rubbed his face with the white hair on its head—although the holographic projection could see He couldn't touch it, but Yi Heye seemed to really feel his warm and soft touch, like the hot milk his mother made for him.

The soreness in his chest seemed to be relieved a little.

But soon, the sadness from just now flooded up again. He looked at the lamb, and tears continued to fall.

The lamb coaxed softly, "Why are you so sad, baby?"

The title baby reminded him of his mother again, Yi Heye's nose was sore, and he collapsed uncontrollably.

He didn't dare to cry, so he turned around and didn't show his face to the lamb.

The lamb was neither in a hurry nor annoyed, so he sat beside him and said softly, "You can cry a little louder, you humans do this when you are sad, it's not surprising at all."

Humans, no surprise.Hearing these words, Yi Heye felt inexplicably that he had gained some kind of recognition, and then even greater grievances flooded up.

He pursed his mouth, and a small whimpering sound escaped from his throat, and then he heard the lamb whisper in his ear: "Cry, when you're tired from crying, just close your eyes and sleep..."

His voice seemed to have some kind of hypnotic effect, and it really made Yi Heye let go of his last line of psychological defense. He started to cry, as if a door opened in his heart, and all the emotions that were piled up inside rushed out all at once. .

The lamb flew in front of him, hugged his arm out of thin air, and cried quietly with him without saying a word.

Only Yi Heye's sad crying was left in the room. It seemed that the grievances and sorrows, inferiority and doubts of so many years had all mixed in and poured out with tears.

The lamb is right, crying loudly will deprive the brain of oxygen, and people will soon be sleepy.

In the endless exhaustion, Yi Heye's crying became smaller and smaller, like a child lying in his mother's arms, crying and falling asleep.

The lamb looked at the teardrops hanging on his eyelashes, and couldn't help stretching out the lamb's hooves, trying to wipe his tears away, but it penetrated as it should.

He's a disembodied hologram - he's destined not to touch the person in front of him.

When Yi Heye woke up in a daze, the lamb had disappeared.

He looked at the empty room, and his mood was also empty, but it was not as sad as before.

His eyes were a little swollen from crying, so Yi Heye ran to the pool and applied ice water to his eyes, but it didn't work, so he found a non-prescribing black-rimmed glasses in the locker and put them on.

——It really looks like a well-behaved and introverted high school student.

He sighed and was about to go out to grab some supper.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Director Li anxiously guarding the door. The old man sat at the door with a mechanical ponytail, and when he saw him, he jumped up immediately: "Xiao Yi..."

Yi Heye was taken aback, his glasses almost fell to the ground, but when he saw that it was Ju Li, he swallowed back the swear words on his lips.

"... Director Li?" When he opened his mouth, his voice was still a little hoarse.

Director Li said, "I have to apologize to you about the test."

Yi Heye didn't want to hear this, so he just lowered his head and said, "I know this is what the higher authorities mean."

Li Ju shook his head: "It's still because our position is not firm, and the choices we made hurt your personal feelings."

Yi Heye lowered his head, somewhat resisting the topic.

After a long time, he whispered, "... Li Ju, do you believe me?"

Hearing his words, Director Li said sincerely, "You should ask me if I ever doubted you."

Yi Heye raised his swollen eyes to look at him.

"I have to admit, when you just came to report to our bureau, I suspected for a long time that you were not human." Li Ju looked at him, smiled and said, "You are just here, handsome and handsome I can’t find any faults, and my physical fitness is also very good, but you don’t pay much attention to your colleagues when they talk to you, and sometimes you don’t seem to feel that you care about you. To be honest, it’s not just me. At that time, everyone looked at you first. I don’t even think you are a human being.”

Yi Heye didn't expect him to be so frank, to speak out the words of doubting himself so openly, but to his surprise, hearing Li Ju say that he doubted himself, he felt a little less psychological pressure.

"You know, I've almost torn through your medical report. I just want to find some evidence that you are not human, so that I can return you, a troublemaker who makes trouble every day."

易鹤野想起了刚来的时候，自己被群众养的电子狗舔了一口脚脖子，就恼羞成怒要揍人，最后闹得局领导出动带着他上门道歉，现在想来，他自己也忍不住laugh it out.

"But later, I heard people talk about your mother, so I can fully understand it." Li Ju didn't shy away from talking about these sensitive topics, but Yi Heye felt frank, "Raised by robots It is normal for my child to have a different personality than others, and most importantly, I know you are learning and understanding. You are working hard to integrate into everyone, and we have all watched you come this way."

At that time, Yi Heye would stare at the expressions of the people around him every day, watching the changes in their muscles and the brightness of their eyes.

Not very good at reading, he wrote down dense observation notes, accompanied by his own hand-painted pictures for annotation.

He has experienced countless mistakes in judgment, and has been scolded and conflicted with others because of staring at people, but after accumulation, failure and correction time after time, he can not only understand most emotions normally , and thus cultivated the extraordinary ability to distinguish the difference between human and AI appearance at a glance.

"In my eyes, you are just a child with a simple mind, a bad temper, and a little naive, but with outstanding personal abilities. He is not ordinary but ordinary." Li Ju said sincerely, "So I really want I apologize to you, when District A proposed to retest you, I didn't immediately stand up and refuse for you, firmly expressing my trust in you, this is what Director Li did wrong."

Yi Heye looked at the gray-haired old leader, and it seemed that at this moment, the little lump in his heart was completely untied.

He rolled his eyes, then smiled and said to Director Li: "Seeing your sincerity, I can barely forgive you."

Li Ju was also amused by him, and pretended to be angry and said: "It's not big or small, it's not good for you."

The old and the young were giggling, ready to go to the restaurant for dinner, when he was about to sit down, Yi Heye received two messages on his cell phone.

The short message was from an unfamiliar number and there was no signature, but Yi Heye knew who it was from just by looking at it——

"Dear baby, please be sure to believe in yourself unswervingly."

"You will always be the purest and most beautiful human being in this world."

The author has something to say:

Some help to understand: the information here is sent by Mr. Baa to Yi Heye, but the word "baby" is more inclined to the mother's perspective, so it can be understood as the two most important AIs in Yi Heye's life. bless.
