Chi Gui was in a bad mood, and when she saw that it was a call from Chi Changjing, she hung up immediately.
She returned to the house her grandmother had left behind.
It had been nearly three months since her last visit, yet Little Guai had kept the place spotlessly clean.
When Chi Gui returned, Little Guai was mopping the floor, its mechanical head turned when it saw her, and the screen that served as its eyes immediately displayed a crying face.
It dropped the mop and rushed over to Chi Gui, hugging her tightly.
In its childish, mechanical voice, one could actually make out a hint of crying, "Sister, you’re finally back! Little Guai missed you so much! It’s been three months, and you’ve gotten even prettier. Even as a robot, Little Guai is almost falling in love with you!"
This flattery has leveled up again!
She patted Little Guai on the head, walked into the room, poured a glass of water, and sat on the sofa to check her phone, only to see a message from Han Zixuan: "All the housekeeping robots have undergone a network upgrade, they’re now more human-like, and they might bring you unexpected surprises!"
Chi Gui paused for a moment, then turned to look at Little Guai, wondering what human-like updates it might have.
Suddenly, Little Guai turned its head and ran over to Chi Gui, extending its mechanical arm, and said assertively, "Sister, where is the gift you brought for Little Guai? You know, Little Guai has wanted that wave wheel style oil for a long time! Can you buy it for me?"
Its tone even included a whiny whimper.
Two lines of frustration slid down her forehead.
Did they implant a bratty child program into it?
Unfortunately, this robot’s act of coquetry was much softer and cuter than a real bratty child, which made Chi Gui somewhat reluctant to refuse.
Just as she was filled with aggravation, Fu Si arrived at the door.
Chi Gui opened the door, saw Fu Si, her eyebrows slightly raised. She turned to Little Guai and said, "Little Guai, sister has no money, go ask brother for it."
Before he could react, the little robot ran over on its mechanical legs, hugged him tightly, and in a soft, coquettish voice, the screen showed two big watery eyes, "Brother, I want the wave wheel style oil~ Can you buy it for me, please~"
Is this really a robot?
Fu Si’s handsome phoenix eyes slightly lifted, then with an emotionless face, he pulled Little Guai’s mechanical arms apart, "A boy should learn to be strong, if you want something, go work for it yourself."
"But I’m earning money by doing the housework~" Little Guai chased after Fu Si trying to reason with him.
Fu Si looked down, glanced at the pathetic-looking robot next to him, and seriously explained, "Then, are you also living in this house?"
Little Guai: "Yes..."
Fu Si: "Then, is your housework for your own home?"
Little Guai: "...Yes?"
Fu Si smiled, "Since you’re doing the housework for your own home, how can it be considered earning money?"
He glanced at Chi Gui walking into the bedroom and then suddenly bent down, whispering to Little Guai, "Would you like to know what really counts as earning money?"
Little Guai tilted its head, its programming not yet able to handle such convoluted human logic, "What?"
Fu Si: "For example, you could take some daily life pictures of your sister and send them to me..."
Before he could finish, Little Guai suddenly turned its head, pointing at Fu Si, and said to Chi Gui, "Sister, there’s a pervert here!"
Understands what it shouldn’t and misunderstands what it should!
The day went by quickly, and soon it was time for school to start.
Chi Gui, who was in her junior year, needed to start an internship.
She didn’t go to class, but instead went directly to Lin Bo Tong.
"Going back to Capital City?" Lin Bo Tong poured a cup of tea for Chi Gui and asked with a smile, unsurprised.
Chi Gui had come to his place to recuperate, and now that her injuries had mostly healed, she naturally needed to return.
Chi Gui thanked him, took a sip of tea, "Yes. There are many things piling up, and in the end, I’m the one who gets worn out." Googlᴇ search noⅴelfire.net
Lin Bo Tong laughed, "Have you decided which hospital to go to?"
"Just Kyoto City Hospital." Chi Gui said indifferently.
Members of the Expert Group were originally supposed to rotate through various public hospitals in Capital City; it didn’t matter where they started.
Lin Bo Tong didn’t say much else, exchanged a few pleasantries with Chi Gui, and then saw her out.
Just as she reached the school gate, Chi Gui saw Chi Yan, Su Qing, Chi Changjing, and Zhao Yuexiu standing together.
They weren’t too far away, and she could hear Chi Yan laughing, "Yes, Uncle Su helped us get into Kyoto City Hospital."
