I Really Like That Guy! - v13 Chapter 13

Inside the skyscraper, a woman got off the speeding car. She was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, her expression was indifferent, and she walked towards the elevator without looking sideways.

There are other people in the hall, and when they see a woman, they will politely call out “Dr. Xia”.

Women would occasionally reply with an “um”, and most of the time they would pass them by with a blank expression, without looking away.

After she stepped into the elevator and left, someone whispered behind her back.

“Didn’t Dr. Xia go on vacation? It’s been so long, why did he come back again?”

“Dr. Xia is really aloof, I’ve never seen her smile once!”

“I heard that Dr. Xia was attacked. It seems to be people from the anti-intellectual alliance. Those people are crazy and they are completely hindering the development of society.”

“No wonder, Dr. Xia is so good, the latest batch of bionics is too intelligent, it must be because of this that they are eyeing!”

There was a lot of discussion, and in the fast-rising elevator, A Luo raised his hand to help the frame of his glasses, his expression was a little helpless.

Only she could see that there was a translucent light curtain floating in front of her eyes. Inside the light curtain, there was a small spherical robot rolling around on the screen.

“Master, Seventy-Eight misses you, when will you be back?” This line of words appeared in the small bubble above his head.

Arlo wanted to sigh inwardly, this robot was too clingy.

She had to go to work and couldn’t bring a android with her, so Seventy-Eight was left at home.

Seventy-eight is very unhappy, he won’t hold back when he’s not happy, he’s a robot who speaks when he has something to say.

But Arlo is very incapable of dealing with such a person. He rolls around and acts like a spoiled brat and shows his love boldly. With a set of punches, Arlo was almost crushed by him and promised to let him follow.

Fortunately, although her sanity was in jeopardy, she finally stabilized.

Arlo always felt that the growth rate of Seventy-Eight was too fast. Could this be the male supporting halo of the plot? In just one night, he was completely different from yesterday.

This difference is not only reflected in his cooking skills, but also in the state of getting along with her.

He seems to have been instructed by experts. His previous enthusiasm was just an unconscious instinct.

Overnight, he seemed to have opened up the two veins of Ren and Du, instantly understood the feelings of human beings, and learned to take the initiative to please his master.

A Luo felt a little bad, and always felt that there would be unexpected things waiting for her in the future.

She raised her hand, put her fingertips on the rolling ball, and pressed his body, “I’ll be back in the afternoon, don’t worry, if you’re bored, go learn to cook.”

It took one night to make a breakfast, if you want to make a real meal, it should take longer.

Hope to kill his time and not keep pestering her.

Inexplicably, A Luo thought of his assistant, who often said that his girlfriend was pestering him, which troubled him. At that time, Arlo didn’t feel too much, but now he feels the same.

When I came to the laboratory where I was working, the assistant had already arrived. He seemed to be communicating with people, and he said helplessly to the void in front of him: “Okay, I will bring you a gift from X home after get off work. It’s not that I won’t accompany you dear, I want to work. .”

In today’s era, it is not difficult for human beings to survive. Advanced technology has reduced production costs, and the country has become rich, so various welfare institutions have been established to improve the quality of human life.

Many people don’t work their whole lives, and the government won’t let them starve to death, instead giving out various benefits every month.

Nutrient solutions are cheap, and people don’t have to work if they just want to live.

Of course, relief money does not allow people to live a luxurious life. At most, it is only food and clothing. If you want to live a better life, you need to engage in some work.

In the future, most of the jobs in the world will be mental or service, not tiring, and the wages are high, so many people still choose to go out to work.

However, there are also some people who like a free life. Such people do not pursue the quality of life. Most of the time, they stay at home and roam on the optical network, entertaining to death every day.

There are not many people in this category, and it can be said that it will be the norm in the future world.

After all, the class is basically fixed, and ordinary people basically cannot cross the class to become the upper class. When the end of life can be seen at a glance, people lose their enthusiasm for improvement.

So the entertainment industry is prosperous, and the most popular online are all kinds of live broadcasts and games. People use such happiness to paralyze themselves.

This is the case with the assistant’s girlfriend. She doesn’t need to work, and she looks extra clingy by staying at home every day.

Arlo’s sense of this kind of people is very common. There are too many such people in this era. They are not an exception, but a norm.

She had never paid attention to the assistant’s relationship before, but today she suddenly became interested.

“I want to ask, how do you usually deal with your girlfriend being so clingy?”

The assistant was stunned for a moment and replied, “The reason for being clingy is that she loves me, Doctor. Although sometimes it is a little annoying, but I think it is a sweet annoyance. So usually, I usually coax her, pet her, and give her Buy what she likes, take her on a trip, and fulfill all her wishes. She loves me, and love is the most precious and priceless thing.”

In the future world, people’s feelings will become indifferent, and the marriage rate will drop to a very low figure, because people can live well without the other half.

At this time, true love becomes precious.

However, this kind of love is too little, and people in the future are generally unwilling to give their feelings, and bionics came into being. They have the appearance of humans, and the absolute loyalty and love that humans do not possess.

Buy a companion android and you will be everything to him.

“Doctor, are you in love? Do you also have a little girlfriend?” Today’s doctor is a little different. He can say things that have nothing to do with work, the assistant couldn’t help joking.

Allo paused for a while, then nodded, “Yeah”.

The assistant was really surprised this time, and looked at her dumbfounded, with a ghostly expression.

A Luo ignored him, she just asked on a whim, and didn’t plan to communicate with him too much.

Entering the laboratory and changing into protective clothing, and preparing to start today’s work, the door of the laboratory suddenly opened, and two people stood outside the door.

The first one was the boss, and the other was a man in a suit and leather shoes, with black hair, amber eyes, and an alienated and indifferent expression.

The boss brought someone to Arlo and introduced: “Dr. Xia, this is Academician Lin from the Central Research Institute. I’m here to cooperate with you. I hope you can cooperate happily.”

Academician Lin stretched out his hand and raised it in front of Arlo: “Hello, I’m Lin Dongze.”

“Hello, Xia Feiluo.” A Luo raised his hand and shook hands with him for a moment, then raised his eyes and glanced at the man, his expression was light, and he couldn’t see anything different.

The two stood face to face, one was colder than the other, and the other was more drawn.

The boss wiped his sweat and left. The government only sent one person over this time, and he was probably worried that Dr. Xia would be unhappy. But this one alone is worth a team.

The assistant was also worried when he saw it next to him, for fear that the two would have a disagreement and make trouble unpleasantly.

But it turned out that his worries were too much.

Dr. Xia and Academician Lin are both cold and rational people. Their personalities are too similar. They are like a glass of ice water. Two glasses of ice water can’t collide with each other.

This day’s work was spent in a dull atmosphere. In the past, the laboratory was only quiet, but now it has become an ice hole. Not only assistants, but also some other researchers dare not speak out.

Dr. Xia and Academician Lin’s aura was too strong. When the two were not talking, the air seemed to freeze.

Unexpectedly, when these two people got together, the experimental efficiency unexpectedly improved a lot.

In the past, there were often other situations that made it difficult to keep up with Dr. Xia’s pace, resulting in a slow research speed. Now there is an Academician Lin. There is no doubt about Academician Lin’s ability. cooperate with her.

At the end of the day, everyone in the laboratory breathed a sigh of relief, showing a look of relief.

“Dr. Xia and Academician Lin are too cold for me to speak.”

“However, do you find them a good match? Dr. Xia’s thinking, Academician Lin can understand so quickly, it’s really amazing!”

“Yeah, watching the two of them do research is like watching a perfect pas de deux. The cooperation is so tacit!”

Arlo took off his glasses and changed his clothes. As soon as he walked out of the laboratory, a light curtain jumped out of the personal terminal.

The light curtain is still her system desktop, the desktop is replaced with the appearance of home, her bed, sofa, wardrobe, like a real 3D scene.

The Seventy-Eight Robot is also very real. He stood in the kitchen, with bubbles above his head and said cheerfully: “Master! Seventy-Eight has learned to cook dinner! Look at the time, you have already got off work, and you can get home by flying in half an hour, just in time to enjoy Seventy-Eight. dinner of love.”

He held up a plate and showed it in front of her. The plate was filled with brightly colored food that looked delicious.

After a day of intensely focused work, seeing such a warm picture, Arlo felt a warm current flowing through his chest, bringing waves of comfort and satisfaction.

She couldn’t help curling her lips, the robot in the light curtain should see this slight smile, and the smile on her face became even brighter.

The words in the bubble disappeared, and a new line appeared: “Seventy-eight misses the master very much. When the master is away, Seventy-eight’s mind is full of the master’s appearance. Does the master miss Seventy-eight?”

Arlo said softly, “Yeah.” After a pause, he added, “I miss you.”

Someone walked by and suddenly stopped, A Luo turned to look, it was Lin Dongze.

He looked at her inquiringly, and there was still a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Seeing A Luo looking at him, Lin Dong was a little embarrassed. He didn’t stop to eavesdrop on purpose, but he was just too surprised to see Dr. Xia’s soft demeanor.

He has nothing to say: “Dr. Xia, today’s cooperation is very pleasant, and I am very happy to be involved in this research. I admire your talent.”

A Luo nodded slightly, but his attitude was not enthusiastic: “Academician Lin too, you have more experience than me, and hope to cooperate better in the future.”

Lin Dong was even more embarrassed, disturbing the young couple.

He quickly said goodbye and left, but he didn’t know that after he left, A Luo faced the robot on the light screen with a sad face that seemed to be abandoned, and his whole body was numb.

“Master, you found the real Bai Yueguang, so you don’t want to be the substitute of Seventy-Eight?” After watching the countless love stories of Seventy-Eight, he felt that he was a poor little person no one wanted, and he was about to cry out of grievance.

Arlo: “…”

What did this guy learn from the internet?
