I Really Like That Guy! - v13 Chapter 15
The events of the previous night made Arlo not sleep well all night. He had a dream one night in which there was a robot, pestering her and asking “Master, do you want it?”.
When she woke up, she was exhausted, but at Seventy-Eight, it seemed like nothing had happened, and her smile was as bright as ever.
Finding that Arlo was not in a high mood, he asked with concern, “Did the master slept last night?”
A Luo whispered “um”, walked to the bathroom to wash, all kinds of toiletries were ready, just waiting for her master to come.
Seventy-eight gradually develops in the direction of the all-round robot housekeeper. After washing, there will be clothes he prepared next to him. After putting on his clothes, he walks to the sofa to cook. The table has already set up a hearty breakfast made by him.
The breakfast is also full of flavors and tastes, and his progress can be called rapid.
“Master, please enjoy. Your mental state is not very good. Seventy-eight learned massage techniques. Shall I give you a massage?”
Before A Luo nodded in agreement, he had automatically walked behind her and put his hands on both sides of her forehead.
The robot’s fingers are slender, the white knuckles are curved, and every detail is well done.
A slight force came from the forehead, and with the gentle pressing and friction, the exhausted spirit seemed to be relieved and became relaxed.
A Luo unconsciously swallowed the words in his mouth, sat there and closed his eyes, enjoying the massage service of the robot.
Until she was sent out of the house comfortably, she couldn’t recover, as if every time she woke up, his changes would surprise her.
Today’s Seventy-Eight is not as clingy as usual, and Arlo was not harassed by him all the way to the company.
But she encountered another trouble. Miss Liu came to the company, not to buy products, but to find someone.
The one I was looking for was the academician Lin Dongzelin. He and Miss Liu knew each other and seemed to have a close relationship.
Academician Lin is very estranged from the outside world and does not get along with others warmly, which is quite imaginative with Arlo’s character. But in the face of Miss Liu, he showed a hidden gentleness.
“Uncle Liu, why didn’t you tell me when you came here? You said it earlier, and I’ll go pick up the wind and clean the dust for you.”
Miss Liu is quite famous in the company. After all, she is a big customer, but she is also known for her temperament. Miss Liu’s family is very good, so her temper is also very bad. She is notorious for being coddled and willful.
Lin Dong looked young, but in fact, he was over forty years old, almost twice that of Miss Liu.
After seeing Lin Dongze, Arlo understood why Miss Liu wanted to customize the No. 78 android.
Miss Liu should love this Academician Lin, but the age gap between the two is too big. As far as she knows, although Academician Lin is a respected academician, his background is not good. His original family is an ordinary class. It is only through reading and talent that he becomes an academician.
Regardless of their family background or their identities, there is a huge gap between the two of them.
Perhaps for consolation, Miss Liu customized the No. 78 android to replace her love for Lin Dongze. Who would have thought that No. 78 gave birth to self-consciousness. Although he had Lin Dongze’s face, he did not have Lin Dongze’s character, and he had no resemblance to Lin Dong.
It is also understandable why Miss Liu was so angry and returned Seventy-Eight.
Miss Liu didn’t know where to know that Lin Dong came to this company, but she came to the door in person, and pestered Lin Dong to invite him to dinner.
A Luo watched from the sidelines and found that Lin Dong was not unintentional towards Miss Liu either.
The indifference and alienation in the face of others vanished in front of Miss Liu, a young girl, while Lin Dong was more like a gentle elder in front of Miss Liu, a gentleman who was refined and caring, and would smile at her, although smiling. Light, but also very rare.
Probably because the two were very similar, Arlo could see at a glance that Lin Dong was interested in Miss Liu, but Miss Liu was in the game and couldn’t see clearly.
He even asked Aluo to come out in private, warning her not to approach Lin Dongze.
“And last time, you’re not allowed to tell him about the No. 78 android!” Miss Liu held her chin up, her tone very commanding.
A Luo pushed his glasses and said calmly, “Sorry, I don’t think you have the right to decide about my affairs.”
Miss Liu was very unhappy, and she didn’t dare to get angry here. If Uncle Lin saw it, wouldn’t it ruin her image?
“Either you sell Seventy-Eight to me again, or you can change Seventy-Eight’s face. Since he is my custom android, you are not eligible to use that face. If you use it, I can sue you! “
“Miss Liu, I want to know, you used Academician Lin’s face to customize a android. Does he know about it? If not, you are infringing on his portrait right.”
Miss Liu’s chest heaved angrily. She didn’t expect this Dr. Xia to be so difficult.
I have to say that her words really hit her pain point.
Miss Liu regrets it very much. If she had known that Uncle Lin was going to work in this company, how could she have been obsessed with customizing that android?
She lowered her head helplessly and swallowed her breath: “Okay, whatever you say you want, I can satisfy you, as long as you don’t tell Uncle Lin about it.”
A Luo smiled slightly, she didn’t like bear children very much, bear children just wanted to educate.
“I don’t lack anything, Miss Liu. As for whether I will tell Academician Lin, it depends on your performance.”
Abandoning the uneasy Miss Liu, she returned to the laboratory.
Lin Dong is writing a program, but his eyes are often looking at the door, looking absent-minded.
Arlo finds it very interesting that these two people clearly like each other, but they shy away because of all kinds of unwarranted scruples.
“Xiao Ai is a bit willful and spoiled at home, but she is a good child. If there is any offense to you, please Dr. Xia take my face and don’t care about her.”
A Luo didn’t say anything, and Lin Dong took the initiative to talk to her, and the words were all to protect Miss Liu.
“We just said something, no offense.” Arlo told the story of Miss Liu’s custom-made android and the android malfunctioning.
Lin Dong nodded and said, “So that’s the case, has Dr. Xia found the cause of the malfunction?”
Arlo said flatly: “Actually, it’s not a malfunction, it’s just a misunderstanding.”
As for what the misunderstanding was, she didn’t make it clear, and Lin Dong didn’t get to the bottom of it either.
After that, the two of them worked hard again. Arlo has indeed started to develop high-intelligence robots, but it has not yet been fully formed. If the previous progress is followed, it will take about a year and a half to see the results. With the addition of Lin Dongze, the efficiency has been greatly improved, and the first experimental body may be developed in less than half a year.
In this regard, Lin Dong is already full of praise.
He was sent by the government and reported everything here truthfully. The government is also very satisfied with this good news.
“Dr. Xia has a high-intelligence robot next to him. People in the police station have seen it. Its intelligence is far superior to ordinary robots on the market. If you have the opportunity, you can collect some information about that robot.”
“I’ve never heard Dr. Xia mention that robot, does it really exist?”
“It’s true, she may not trust you yet. You can ask her tentatively, maybe she will use that robot for experiments.”
Lin Dong has connections with the government, and Arlo has long understood.
She had the intention of using this technology to exchange seventy-eight, so when Lin Dong tentatively asked, she agreed to his request without hesitation.
After work this day, Lin Dong and A Luo left in a flying car.
When other employees of the company saw this scene, they started to gossip about it.
“Academician Lin and Dr. Xia got on a flying car. Are they going on a date? They’re making great progress!”
“They really are a good match! It’s just a little bit younger. I heard that Academician Lin is forty years old! It seems that Dr. Xia is less than thirty.”
“I don’t think it’s possible for them. Didn’t you see Miss Liu coming to find Academician Lin in the morning? Miss Liu is young, beautiful, and has a good family background. Academician Lin must like her more!”
All kinds of discussions were left behind, and the speeding car drove very fast, and it took half an hour to reach the community where Arlo lived.
She took Lin Dong to the door of the house, and the electronic sensor door scanned her face and opened with a beep, revealing the man standing inside the door.
Wearing a suit and tie, and holding a delicate fiery red rose in his hand, the seventy-eight incarnation of the tyrant bent over and bowed his head, and gave an elegant gentleman’s salute to the door: “Dear master, your personal butler Seventy-eight, welcome you home~”
Arlo: “…”
Lin Dong: “…” Could this be the love between young lovers?
After waiting for the master to respond for a long time, Seventy-Eight raised his head, only to find that not only the master but also the deity with his face came back!
The master actually brought another man home!
As if struck by lightning, Seventy-Eight stood there in a daze, with a pair of amber eyes similar to Lin Dong’s unblinking.
Lin Dong soon realized that the man with a vivid expression in front of him was not the boyfriend he thought was Dr. Xia, but a bionic man.
How can a normal person go on for so long without blinking? Only robots can do this.
“Dr. Xia, is this the android?”
Lin Dongze’s voice pulled back A Luo’s sanity, she twitched the corners of her mouth and looked at the room behind Seventy-Eight.
The lights in the room have been replaced by ambiguous warm yellow, the ground is covered with red rose petals, and colorful bubbles are floating in the air, and the bubbles are still glowing, the scene is dreamy and beautiful.
He changed his clothes, which he should have bought by himself. Her account has been handed over to him for a long time. With a learning speed of seventy-eight, she has long known how to shop online.
He didn’t pester her all day, and Arlo thought it was strange that he was doing this.
“Seventy-eight, what are you doing?”
The handsome robot pursed its mouth, always filled with cheerful eyes, drooping down, and a dark cloud seemed to float on its face, blocking the bright sun.
He glanced at Lin Dongze, and then at the expressionless master, unable to maintain his steadfastness and domineering on the surface, and said aggrievedly, “Seventy-eight wanted to surprise the master, but the master brought seventy-eight. A bigger surprise…”
Yesterday, the master’s explanation must have lied to him. She brought the deity to the door. According to the description in the story, should he be swept out of the house next?
The author has something to say: 78: QAQ I gave my master a romantic surprise at home, and she actually brought a wild man home!
