Indulging in Carnal Desire - Chapter 296: Who are you?
Even though she appeared like an android that had its fuel source depleted, from that day forward, the young girl’s delayed reactions and gradually stiffening movements clearly indicated that she was nearing the end of her life cycle.
Until finally, one day, the youth had woken up and climbed down the stairs, only to find the girl sitting upright on the sofa, completely unable to move her body.
The sound of the doorbell quickly echoed out.
Then, several burly-looking men wearing metallic clothing picked up the girl on the sofa, as though they were picking up a piece of trash and intended to throw her away.
“In this world, after an android has reached the end of their service life, the Federal Android Management Center will arrange for their law enforcement androids to take the inoperative bot away and recycle its scraps altogether.”

The familiar voice ringing beside her ears clarified the clouds in Chu Jiao’s mind, and as she saw the youth desperately trying to stop those people from taking the girl away, Chu Jiao felt her heart wrench in sharp pain for no reason.
In the end, the girl who had lost her use was taken away by the authorities, leaving behind the youth to sit in the empty living room all alone, his expression crestfallen.
After an unknown period had passed, he finally moved his body. He weakly spread his palm open, a nail-sized computer chip laying in his palm. He raised his hand and carefully placed the chip into the computer on his wrist.

“It’s so weird… Little Master… Androids don’t have any feelings… But, why is it that when I think about leaving Little Master, 9527 would feel some kind of discomfort in her chest?”

The young girl raised a hand and rested it on her chest, the dim light in her silver gray eyes gradually burning out, “The program… The program has started to show random codes… Little Mas…ter… Goo…goodbye…”
The video halted at the girl’s scrunched face, and when the light in her eyes had finally gone out, a small tear had actually trickled out of the corner of her eye and fell down, just like a human being.
The youth foolishly reached out a hand, trying to touch the girl’s face. However, to no avail, his hand merely passed through the transparent screen, pointlessly hovering mid-air.
“Later on, you went to get me back.”
After watching up until here, Chu Jiao couldn’t help but shift her eyes away from the scene, the youth’s hurt appearance made her unable to watch any further.
“Yes.” The man could hear Chu Jiao gradually starting to accept that 9527 was her and couldn’t help but feel some expectations welling up.
“In truth, I have never… treated 9527 as an android… She’s my family… And furthermore, she was also the only person I’ve ever liked…”
“Before, I had already started to study how human feelings could be integrated into androids, and at that time, I had already… put modifications to 9527’s code.”
“That’s why, when I saw her shed a tear and appear distressed at the very end of her recording, I believed I wasn’t too far from success…”
“But, who would’ve thought that she would suddenly leave me at that time…”
The youth remained upstairs for a long time. He didn’t hear the young girl walk in and call him, and he didn’t eat as much as he did before. He locked himself in his room everyday, diligently typing in his computer, each line of code reflecting in his black eyes, making him look somewhat mad.
The scenery changed once more, and this time Chu Jiao had found herself in a slightly shabby house.

The youth had turned into a fine young man, and his appearance looked just like He Sinian. However, he was much skinnier than him. He sat in front of his desk while seeming to be talking with someone online. She didn’t know what the other party had said, but the youth’s eyes suddenly lit up. A moment later, he abruptly stood up in excitement and ran out the doors.
He hurriedly got into an aircraft, and after quite some time, the aircraft came to a stop in the middle of some ruins.
The young man got off the vehicle and turned on the device on his wrist. The holographic map shown on top of it had a red dot marked in an area, which was close to his current position. He followed the direction leading to the red mark and moved forward in search, slowly.
Chu Jiao realized that the ruins appeared to be a garbage dump, with worn-out electrical equipment and components covering the whole area. She even saw a severed limb. Naturally, it was from machinery, coming from scrapped androids.
At long last, the green dot indicating the young man’s position on the map coincided with the red dot.
The youth then carried the extremely deformed remains. As if not minding the filthiness on this wreck, the young man gently transported her back to the aircraft, moving as though he was carrying the most precious treasure in the world.
Chu Jiao suddenly remembered something.
Before she transmigrated into the world where she assumed the identity of a princess, the first time she had seen this world was during the dream she had experienced.
She couldn’t speak nor could she move freely, but she remembered that she was carried by a pair of gentle arms and brought back to a house.
Then, the following scenes she saw were no different from what she saw in the beginning of her dreamland. The youth took utmost care of her body everyday. He continuously bought big and small parts home everyday and upgraded parts of her limbs to new ones. Each part looked invaluable and incomparably refined.
“For the sake of an android, was this all worth it?”
Chu Jiao watched the young man do all this work extremely diligently, completely unsure of what feelings were welling up in her heart.

“Not an android.”
“It’s the person I love the most.”
The young man’s actions seemed to be proof of the man’s sincere words. He would often lovingly kiss the girl who was in deep sleep, like a prince kissing his sleeping beauty.
Until one day, sleeping beauty woke up.
“Who… are you?”
She tilted her head, confusion flashing across her silver gray eyes.
“And, who am I?”
