As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the boy in front of him slightly widen his eyes, reflexively wanting to withdraw his hand.

Pei Qingyuan didn't stop him, he let go of the confinement of his fingertips, and let the warmth of his palm flow away.

He gazed at the stars with silent, stubborn eyes, and the stars lowered their eyes in confusion.

Ji Tong actually failed to fully understand the meaning behind this sentence, but he vaguely realized that this sentence did not just represent a change in address.

The voice of the host contains too many emotions that are not Dao Ming, this is a strange field that Ji Tong has never been in contact with.

He couldn't tell those emotions apart.

Especially when Pei Qingyuan's breath brushed his cheek.

At this moment, there may be no difference between him and the real AI.

In the heat remaining in his palm, Ji Tong, who was in a mess inside, chose to ask for help outside the court uneasily.

[Mr. Ji: Well, is anyone there? The host told me not to call him brother... what does it mean? ]

[Brother Hao:? Your human identity exposed? Little brother Pei knows that your real age is about the same age as him? ]

[Mr. Ji: No! I hide well! ]

[Brother Hao: Oh, what’s the matter, you are not allowed to call me brother, so you should call me brother, don’t you really want the host to call you brother instead? ]

...that's what it says.

But he always felt that what the elementary school students offered was an invalid suggestion.

Fortunately, there is Fu Yinyin, a mature and reliable emotional expert.

[Voice: Where are you? Did anything happen before he said that? ]

Ji Tong immediately poured beans into the bamboo tube at the speed of light.

[Mr. Ji: We went out to eat together at night, but ended up in the wrong place. When we arrived at the nightclub, I was very curious about it and wanted to go in and have a look. It was normal, but someone wanted to bring me wine for no reason, and then I met, uh. ]

He hadn't figured out how to describe his dull thoughts, but Fu Yinyin quickly gave an extremely accurate guess.

[Yinyin: Met a domineering rich second generation who is interested in you? Then Xiao Pei decisively took the hero to save the beauty and took you away? ]

[Mr. Ji: About the same...]

In fact, it is exactly the same.

[Brother Hao: ⊙o⊙...Is this the world of adults? ]

[Yinyin: It's over, I know. ]

[Yinyin: Wait, did you drink with Xiao Pei? ]

[Mr. Ji: I took a sip, and the host probably drank half a glass. We don't like to drink that kind of cocktail that is beautiful in color but not tasty. ]

[Yinyin: ... under the influence of unfamiliar stimuli, there may be salvation. ]

[Yinyin: If you don't want the projected world to collapse, don't answer, just get in there first, and say that you were affected by alcohol and the line crashed, or other reasons. ]

[Yinyin: Now, immediately, immediately. ]

In Fu Yinyin's rare and severe tone, Ji Tong, who was at a loss, immediately chose to follow suit.

And Pei Qingyuan, who had been waiting in silence for a long time, saw his system raise his eyes a little shyly, and said in a very low voice: "I seem to be short-circuited... I shouldn't have been drinking just now."

His cheeks were a little redder than before, and his long eyelashes trembled, unable to hide the anxious starlight streaming from his clear eyes.

Ji Tong looks like an ordinary person.

But from these words, Pei Qingyuan suddenly remembered the mechanical heart as colorful and complicated as the ocean that he had seen with his own eyes.

"What are the consequences of a short circuit? Can it be recovered?"

Ji Tong bit the bullet and continued with a stuttering voice: "It can be recovered, it's not serious, but it will take some time, it may be slower, I feel like I'm about to die..."

Then he saw Pei Qingyuan turn around and bend down.

"I'll carry you back."

Ji Tong is in a dilemma.

He had an intuition that he shouldn't do this, as if he had deviated from Fu Yinyin's guidance, but he clearly said the short circuit and crash himself, and he couldn't find any reason to reject the host.

He hesitated for a few seconds, gritted his teeth, and reached out to climb the host's back.

When Ji Tong nervously put his wrist around the host's neck, his warm chest touched the hot back, and he couldn't avoid being next to Pei Qingyuan's heartbeat.

No one had ever carried him like this before, so he adjusted his posture awkwardly, leaning his face on Pei Qingyuan's shoulder, and the hair on his cheek brushed against the sweaty skin of the other party, arousing a trembling touch.

Pei Qingyuan froze for a moment before walking towards the hotel.

Ji Tong is very light, much thinner than ordinary boys of similar age. Since he grew up, Pei Qingyuan has always known his thin body, but at this moment he is more clearly aware of the weight of this thinness.

His system is particularly fond of eating, and he has tasted almost all kinds of delicacies, and he has cooked many delicious ones for him by himself.

In the lingering breath, Pei Qingyuan wanted to ask him when he could gain weight.

But he didn't ask.

He knows the answer.

What Ji Tong has is not a real human body.

He is a very different AI from humans.

Under the silent moonlight, those reckless and heart-pounding scattered in every corner of the body were collected bit by bit by Pei Qingyuan.

He doesn't want to be called brother by Ji Tong anymore.

He wanted a closer identity.

An identity that can unscrupulously block the eyes of those looking at the people around them.

But Pei Qingyuan understands that he can't say this sentence any more.

Ji Tong obviously doesn't understand love.

Nor should a host with a preordained destiny feel love for an AI system tasked with helping it.

The system is already limited by countless rules, and the out-of-control emotions beyond the script of the story may bring more deadly restrictions.

Pei Qingyuan didn't dare to imagine the consequences.

He remembered the string of questions he had asked another senior system half a year ago.

—To what extent is the task considered to be completely over? Will the system leave this world after all the missions are over? How can I stay?

Fu Yinyin's answer at that time was only a very simple sentence.

—Wait until you are strong enough.

Pei Qingyuan doesn't know what it means to be strong enough, but there is no doubt that he is not strong enough now.

The boy leaning on his shoulder let out a shallow breathing sound.

The blurred and ambiguous atmosphere gradually faded away, and in the sudden silence after a frightening night, Ji Tong fell asleep unknowingly with gently swaying steady steps.

He loosened his hands and hung softly on Pei Qingyuan's shoulders, so the man carrying him lowered his angle and tightened his arms. The world in front of him was only occupied by pale fingertips.

In the hot and cool long night, Pei Qingyuan walked forward slowly and firmly through the moonlight.

At eight o'clock in the morning the next day, Ji Tong woke up with a sudden mission notification sound.

This task reminder is very user-friendly. It will enter the Do Not Disturb mode in the middle of the night. Even if it is triggered, it will not be reminded immediately, and it will wait until the next day before it pops up.

It is said that it was because the host had complained before, saying that he often triggered tasks when he was dreaming in the middle of the night, but he was always woken up by the notification sound, and almost became mentally weak.

But Ji Tong didn't go to see the mission right away, but first recalled what happened last night.

The host said he wanted to carry him back, he struggled for a while, mustered up the courage to climb on the host's back, and then he didn't remember.

He actually fell asleep on the host's back.

...Maybe he actually died from the alcohol short circuit.

Let's hope the AI ​​doesn't go berserk.

Ji Tong, who automatically turned into a little robot after running out of time in his human form in sleep yesterday, couldn't help rolling hard in the quilt.

The mechanical casing is really tight.

Ji Tong is going to change his look.

But for the time being, he is not very daring to face the host in human form, and he feels a guilty conscience.

After a while, Pei Qingyuan, who came back with several bags of breakfast, opened the door of the double room, but he didn't see the familiar teenager, nor the familiar little robot.

He saw a fluffy white mushroom nesting in the quilt.

There was hesitation in Pei Qingyuan's voice: "Ji Tong?"

The talking mushroom rolled the quilt and shook: "Good morning, host."

Confused and guilty, Ji Tong decided to exist in the form of a mushroom all day long, and when he went out, he would shrink and hide it in the host's pocket.

Seeing this strange scene, Pei Qingyuan was silent for a moment, and lifted the breakfast bag in his hand: "Your favorite egg burger."

In the next second, Mushroom turned into a teenager and rushed to the bathroom to wash up: "One minute!"

After washing up and eating breakfast, Ji Tong looked at the host calmly, and felt that the way of getting along between the two seemed to be the same as usual.

The strange feeling last night might just be a hallucination under the influence of alcohol.

The host also didn't bring up the topic related to the title of brother.

Ji Tong relaxed inexplicably, and after eating two egg burgers, he looked at the task panel contentedly.

The fourth mainline task was triggered, although he didn't know why it was triggered.

The task content is to obtain the first pot of gold in the career.

After the jelly bean robot aroused people's curiosity, there are obviously traces of the standard way to complete this task.

No matter how Pei Qingyuan chooses in the end, it is certain that his career line as the protagonist will determine the direction from this task and start officially.

"Does the host have any ideas?"

On this major decision concerning the future, Ji Tong felt that the host's personal wishes should be fully respected.

"Yeah." Pei Qingyuan handed him the soy milk, "We'll talk about it when we go home."

This summer graduation trip has lasted for more than a month, and it’s almost time to return. There are still many things to do before school starts, such as the audition exam that Ji Tong needs to take, and the interview with the jelly bean robot that Li Yayi never forgets.

In the calm tone of the host, Ji Tong became more and more sure that the restless throbbing last night was just an illusion confused by the night.

Holding the cup of soybean milk honestly, he confirmed in a low voice: "Can I continue to call the host?"

Pei Qingyuan nodded slightly.

Seeing that he didn't respond in any strange way to this question, Ji Tong tried to push forward: "Can you call me younger brother?"

Fang Hao's suggestion yesterday still made some sense.

Maybe the host is tired of being an older brother and wants to be a younger brother.

Pei Qingyuan paused, and quickly said: "No."

"Oh." Ji Tong sighed in disappointment, his delusion of becoming an elder was shattered again, "Then what should it be called in front of outsiders?"

Even if he doesn't understand the reason behind it, he still intends to meet the requirements of the host as much as possible. This is the duty that a professional system should perform.

He had an idea, and just when he was about to ask his brother if his uncle was okay, he heard Pei Qingyuan say, "It's still the same as before."

"But you can no longer call someone else's brother."

Fu Chengze in the distance sneezed inexplicably.

In the host's deep voice, Ji Tong first agreed without hesitation. He is an adult now, and he won't call everyone brother like he did when he was a child.

But when he came back to his senses, he felt a little bit confused again, and couldn't help but look at the host, trying to guess the intention behind this request.

And Pei Qingyuan had cleaned up the wreckage of breakfast with a normal expression, and got up to pack his luggage.

As if there was no special meaning in that sentence.

Overwhelmed, Ji Tong idly held his chin in a daze, and decided to take the opportunity to go around the host's emotional zone to see if he could find any clues.

Ji Tong, who had been enjoying himself while traveling recently, pushed open the long-lost black door.

The little robot with electron particles flowing all over its body re-entered this hidden world.

Gardens, butterflies, playground... business as usual.

Only one scene has changed.

The plant that grows from the heart of the host.

The little robot walked lightly, and approached this special shade with a little clumsiness.

He saw beautiful flowers blooming among the green branches and leaves.

Slices of pure purple, like light and soft clouds, gently broke into his eyes.

It is a paulownia flower that only blooms in spring.
