Chapter 41

After his younger brother left, Zhan Mu was busy cleaning up his shop. Lu Chao suggested buying wallpaper. He thought about it and agreed. He immediately placed an order online for his favorite light blue ocean color.

Similarly, Zhan Mu moved out of the B&B and found a rental house where he could live long-term. It was also very cheap and the conditions were just as simple, but it had a large balcony with good lighting.

Moving, opening a shop, and packing luggage, the kind-hearted Lu Chao had been participating in the work, but the weather was too hot, and Zhan Mu was still worried that he would have a fever from overheating, so he just let Comrade Lu Chao sit on the bench and play with his mobile phone.

It was a hot summer day. In order to cool down, Zhan Mu picked up a spray bottle and sprinkled water everywhere. The air was mixed with the smell of ash and steaming heat. Outside, cicadas were chirping on the tree branches, which seemed beautiful and refreshing.

Lu Chao was bored and thought of what he said in the last live broadcast, so he searched for that "Mr. Mi yyds". It was said that he was also a person who bought data and pinched his own face.

Lu Chao was curious about how this method of skirting the rules was done.

When I clicked on it, I saw a face that looked exactly like my own, with fiery red lips, a frivolous expression, and clothes that looked like belts, leaving red marks on his chest muscles.

Lu Chao frowned as he watched, mainly because this was his own face, and he was not like that at all.

He did his pornographic fetishes secretly.

"What are you looking at?" Zhan Mu took a look and found it quite funny. He continued to wear a paper hat and spray water everywhere to cool down the room.

"I just realized now that you are quite normal." Lu Chao suddenly said, looking at the other self on the screen. He didn't know what he thought of. The past was like smoke, making him unable to laugh and looking deep.

"What?" Zhan Mu was picking his nose, not caring at all about his image.

"I mean, as a data person with no human rights, you are actually so moral that you would lend a helping hand to a stranger like me." Lu Chao blinked.

"Besides, you didn't exploit me, and you didn't use me. Although you have a bad temper, you really respect me." He said calmly, but the corners of his mouth rose.

Lu Chao was still reading the comments section of Teacher Mi's video. In fact, everyone expressed their love for him, but the words they used were too wild. That kind of superficial appreciation did not make Lu Chao happy.

"Actually, you're not that evil. Why do you always pretend to be a gangster?" Lu Chao switched back to his TT and saw a photo he took of Zhan Miao.

It was the crystal grape DIY soap he had made before. Zhan Mu took a photo of it one day and sent it to his sister. Later, he remembered that Zhan Miao was in a coma.

It has been integrated into life for too long, and when it is lost, I don’t think about it for a moment.

Zhan Mu paused, his throat choking and a little sore, but he covered it up and said, "Officer Liu told me that Huang Jiye is from a wealthy family, and there is no evidence. My sister's little thing can't shake him at all."

"I want to be rich. I even want to have social status and public appeal. I want to seek justice for my sister. That can be considered a man's dignity." Zhan Mu said calmly, but sprayed water twice forcefully.

"Really? Then, can I also rely on you?" Lu Chao asked.

Zhan Mu looked at him, and Lu Chao seemed to feel that he had said something wrong. He laughed dryly to hide his embarrassment and explained, "No, my family situation is very complicated, I know. How could I force you to do anything? I..."

"I'll try my best." Zhan Mu nodded to him and made an OK gesture.

Seeing this, Lu Chao lowered his head, his eyes a little warm, but he retracted his useless vulnerability and said with emotion: "It's actually not bad. Apart from being a little lonely after spending decades in the game, I haven't suffered much. To be honest, this game has a lot of variety, and I think it's quite fun."

Here it comes again. Lu Chao's occasional silence reveals that kind of unspoken bitterness, which makes people feel pity and distressed.

Lu Chao shook his head and looked out the window, actually feeling relieved.

"What do you like?" Zhan Mu suddenly asked.

"Me? I don't know. What aspect are you talking about? I wanted to be a diplomat before, but now..." Lu Chao replied.

Zhan Mu said seriously, "I mean, what color do you like? What style of clothes? What kind of food or drink do you like? What do you like as a human being?"

"I, I'm a data person now. I can't eat. Besides, clothes color and other things are just data to me."

After Lu Chao finished speaking, seeing Zhan Mu's hesitation, he seemed to understand what he meant. It turned out that he was concerned about his emotions as a human being.

"Light blue. Food should be fresh." Lu Chao said, "As for drinks, it's just simple rock sugar and snow pear."

Zhan Mu hummed twice, pointed to this room, and asked, "What do you think of this place? Do you like it? Do you want to modify the internal structure? For example, do you want to move the tables and chairs? How about buying a potted plant?"

"..." Lu Chao suddenly felt the temperature was a little high. He laughed twice, feeling ambiguous, and suddenly pushed Zhan Mu away and said, "This, this is your house. Haha, I'm just staying here. Besides, I'm just a data person, I don't need those things."

What a straight man. Zhan Mu covered his face. He didn't expect that his heart was so hard to open. He was still pretending with me even after talking so much.

"You..." Zhan Mu hesitated to speak. It was obvious that he was not good at handling such delicate things and felt impatient.

He immediately asked, "You're not gay, so why did you say you liked me? And why did you kiss me?"

"I..." Lu Chao started to speak with difficulty, then added awkwardly, "This is all for freedom. Well, I don't hate you, and I'm not disgusted. I just can't accept that kind of feeling."

you.

Damn, are we two different species from you?

Zhan Mu was furious: "Why?"

"No reason, it's innate." Lu Chao answered honestly: "I really don't understand why some people are gay. I can't understand it. I can't do it. If it's about sex, haha, but if it's about the heart, honestly, I can't do it."

Going for sex? Zhan Mu pulled the paper hat on his head and flipped his hair irritably. His veins popped out and he looked like he wanted to curse, but he didn't. He just stared out the window for a long time.

Lu Chao noticed the change in his mood and said, "Well, I'm actually your companion robot, Zhan Mu. If you think of it that way, I can provide you with full emotional value. Trust me."

Zhan Mu: "Forget it, go back and recharge first."

The tone was tired and bored.

"I don't want to. My battery is fully charged." Lu Chao answered without turning his head away, as if he knew everything and was fearless.

Zhan Mu turned around, his eyes were frighteningly fierce, and he said, "I'm going out to buy groceries" and left the house. There was a loud bang on the door.

-

At night, the stars were bright. Zhan Mu drank two large bottles of beer on the street. He felt sad, but he didn't know where this emotion came from. It might be anxiety about life, or the frustration of not being liked.

With the phone at his feet, he communicated with BH company’s customer service: Can the memory of this data person be reproduced?

Company customer service: Yes, please send it back to the headquarters, the address is BH Technology Co., Ltd., No. 666, Chaoyang Street, Yuzhou High-tech Zone.

Zhan Mu didn't reply.

He bought some green vegetables and eggs. The most outrageous thing was that he also bought some candied pears that Lu liked, which he was not allowed to eat or drink.

Damn it! How could I, Zhan Mu, who is so wise and powerful, be so obsessed with a fake man made of cyber data?

And he can't even be proud of himself...ah, hate it!

Zhan Mu was emo for another five minutes, until he drank the third bottle of beer. Then he took advantage of the alcohol and rushed back to the house. As soon as he entered, he felt awkward all over. Lu Chao actually made him a tomato and egg soup, which was steaming hot and looked very appetizing.

He sat at the table and blew gently on his burned hands.

This scene was so heartwarming that Zhan Mu's resentment instantly disappeared. Looking at Lu Chao's tranquil expression and natural and homely posture, he was instantly filled with confidence.

He cooks for me, it turns out he still loves me a little.

Zhan Mu then filled a small wine glass with rock sugar and snow pear and pushed it towards Lu Chao. Lu Chao had no sense of smell or taste, but he guessed what it was and said, "I can't eat or drink it."

"What will happen after eating and drinking?" Zhan Mu was very curious.

"It might just be scrapped. I don't have a digestive system."

"Try it." Zhan Mu winked at him and said, "If there's any problem, I'll take you to the company to fix it."

Lu Chao felt the pressure mount, thinking this man was seeking revenge, presumably because he had rejected him that afternoon and was trying to torment him. But since he had to bow his head under someone else's roof, Lu Chao still accepted Zhan Mu's pressure with a smile.

After taking a bite, there was no reaction. Lu Chao was surprised to find, "Huh? I can taste it, but it's a little bland."

Then, without Zhan Mu urging him, he saw Lu Chao taking one bite after another, as if he was very surprised, savoring his beloved rock sugar snow pear in an intoxicated manner.

Half an hour later.

The result was that Lu Chao vomited wildly in the toilet, his whole body almost turned into mud, and Zhan Mu hugged him and patted his back as if he had no bones.

In the end, the fragile Lu Chao didn't even have the strength to change back to his original form. He was carried to the bed by Zhan Mu, with his eyes closed, looking lazy and sickly.

"I'm really impressed." Zhan Mu also tried to communicate with the customer service, asking how to treat my baby drinking water. Fortunately, it's a minor problem. I just need to put it in a cool place to dry and wait for the moisture to evaporate.

The customer service explained that this fluid is the most advanced technology on the market, and being able to drink liquids is already very advanced. You must not force him to eat, otherwise he will have a cesarean section.

Zhan Mu tried to hold back, but couldn't help asking: "Curious, can he get hard?" (snickering)

Customer service wisely didn't respond.

That is the free exploration mode. Zhan Mu grinned evilly and saw Lu Chao, who was half-dead on the bed, revealing his true face.

The drowsy Lu Chao suddenly opened his eyes and felt a perverted man pressing on him from behind. His waist tightened and his pants were in danger.

"Chao Chao~" Zhan Mu's voice was as soft as a pool of water, filled with his mortal desires and debauchery.

Lu Chao's hair tingled, and he said dryly, "What do you want to do?"

"Fuck you." Zhan Mu showed a lewd smile, but when he was about to succeed, Lu Chao held his hands back. He turned over and pressed Zhan Mu down, their breaths blending together, and there was an indescribable ambiguity in their breathing.

"You hate me?" Zhan Mu said with aggrieved tone.

"I..." Lu Chao was in a dilemma. On the one hand, he warned himself that there would indeed be some sacrifices, and on the other hand, he reminded himself that he did not like men.

Zhan Mu once again reached out and kissed him by the neck, with the utmost tenderness and passion, his tongue was wild and tentative.

"It's so hot." Lu Chao suddenly said when he was taking a breath. They looked at each other. Zhan Mu found that his emotions did not fluctuate much and his face was calm, while he himself was blushing and even reacted.

Zhan Mu asked with red eyes: "Am I really that bad?"

"...No, no." Lu Chao hadn't been able to do anything with her, and he was still feeling wronged after forcing himself on her. Lu Chao finally spoke with difficulty, saying, "I don't feel anything. I'm a data person working with fluids. I can't give you the kind of love you want."

"What the hell is this sport of love?" Zhan Mu was amused by him again. He pinched Lu Chao's shoulders, buried his face in his arms, and trembled with laughter.

Such intimacy seemed to make Lu Chao feel relieved. He looked at Zhan Mu, whose tough and smooth face was not beautiful, but gave people a sense of sunny righteousness.

Strangely enough, Lu Chao didn't feel disgusted. He even asked himself in his heart, do I really not like men? Or maybe, I just like cheerful puppies like Zhan Mu.
