Seeing that there was no reply for a long time, the man continued typing.

Ru Feng: If you don't have a strong enough backer, for your own safety, I suggest you stop selling fruit. You are my savior, and I won't tell anyone about the fruit incident, so don't worry.

Lu Manman's inner monologue: (┯_┯) It's already too late, she's sold so many, so many...

Lu Manman panicked and hurriedly checked the fake identity on her personal computer, but found nothing. If all else failed, she had no choice but to run away.

Looking at the mess in the living room, Lu Manman realized that the most urgent task now was to restore the house to its original state as soon as possible.

Lu Manman started searching online. The first thing she needed to do was buy the same nutrient solution from here. She had to put the nutrient solution back so that Xiu Yuan wouldn't notice anything amiss.

Then I bought a lot more seeds to keep in reserve, since seeds are small anyway.

As Lu Manman browsed the web, filling in any gaps in her knowledge, she suddenly saw the spatial ring. It was made using spatial folding technology, and it was perfect for her, even though it was a bit expensive.

Lu Manman gritted her teeth and bought a big enough one so that she could put everything in it, including the vines of the grapes, watermelons, and cantaloupes.

Lu Manman also bought quite a few interstellar piggy banks.

The interstellar piggy bank is similar to the piggy bank on Earth, but instead of storing physical currency, it allows you to transfer money from your account into it. When needed, you can transfer the money out, either as a gift or back to your own account. Transaction records are generally untraceable from the backend, and it's very small, similar to a USB flash drive, primarily used for secretly giving gifts.

This isn't cheap either, but it's absolutely necessary for this long journey. After all, once the money in Huahua's account is transferred like this, no one will know where it ends up.

After receiving the goods, Lu Manman started searching for the fake identity online again, but still found nothing.

If it weren't for the fact that companion robots cannot leave their owners or their owners' homes, their current identity would actually be acceptable.

Although their owners give their companion robots plenty of privileges, they are not as free as ordinary robots.

Seeing Lu Manman looking worried, Yuanyuan happily said, "I have good news for you, Master is coming back."

It believes that Hua Hua will be very happy to hear this, because companion robots are more attached to their owners than other robots.

"Let's go together to greet our master!"

What? Lu Manman was startled and subconsciously shook her head.

Yuanyuan looked puzzled: "Aren't you happy?"

"No, no, no, I'm happy, I'm very happy, but you know, I'm not fully recovered yet, I can't let him see me like this."

After saying that, Lu Manman looked at Yuanyuan with anxious eyes, "Yuanyuan, I can only rely on you now. It's an emergency. Please help me tidy up quickly and don't let my master find any trace of me. I will go to my master after I'm better."

With Yuanyuan's help, Lu Manman quickly cleaned up all traces of her activities and finally hid back in the warehouse she had been in before.

Shortly after, the door opened and the owner returned.

As soon as Qi Xiuyuan entered the room, his personal robot comrade took care of everything for him.

The temperature was set to his favorite 28 degrees Celsius, and 42-degree hot water was placed in the bathtub. The bed was disinfected, and every detail was arranged properly.

Yuanyuan greeted its owner, then stood somewhat forlornly to the side, watching with envy as its comrade busied itself with its owner.

He also wants to serve his master closely, rather than be a dispensable household robot who rarely sees his master throughout the year.

Although Lu Manman was hiding in the warehouse, she pressed her ear against the door, listening carefully to the sounds outside.

Hearing Qi Xiuyuan talking to his family,

"You're not getting any younger. Why don't you seize this opportunity to get married? It's rare for a woman to be interested in you. Can't you be a little more assertive?"

"I don't want to get married, I'm not interested in women."

Wow, it seems this owner is gay. That's great! I hope that one day, even if it's exposed, we can still be sisters.

“You unfilial son, you’ve really grown up. I can’t control you anymore. If your mother were here, you definitely wouldn’t be like this.”

Seeing that the other party was getting impatient, Master Qi quickly said, "The matchmaking banquet is in a few days. You are the person that the higher-ups specifically requested. You must remember to go. If you don't go, I will agree to the marriage as soon as you are selected."

Being chosen at a matchmaking event requires the consent of the man's parents for the relationship to proceed, but virtually no one would refuse.

Qi Xiuyuan gave a perfunctory reply and then promptly hung up the phone.

Master Qi was furious at their lack of ambition. So many people were fighting tooth and nail for this one spot; they were truly ungrateful for their good fortune.

Qi Xiuyuan leaned back on the sofa, rubbing his eyes in annoyance. He really couldn't understand why that woman kept clinging to him.

Lu Manman, hearing no sound from outside, decided to use his personal computer and searched for matchmaking banquets online.

It turns out that this was a matchmaking event for women, and the participants were all wealthy and influential. If you were selected by a woman, you would have the opportunity to have a child conceived naturally.

Most children in the interstellar world are conceived through scientific means, combining male sperm with artificial eggs to create a child.

Not only is the cost high, but the success rate is also low. Most importantly, children conceived this way are prone to various defects, though most of them are related to mental and emotional development.

In this context, having a child naturally conceived with a woman aligns with the upper class's expectations for offspring. For this reason, they are even willing to share a woman just to have a child of their own.

If all else fails, they will try their best to use the best technology to conceive their best child, but in most cases the results are not satisfactory.

Therefore, the matchmaking banquet can be described as a grand event that everyone would be eager to attend.

The good news is that the matchmaking event lasts for a week, during which the women will spend a week with the attendees, allowing them to gain a more comprehensive understanding of what kind of partner they want.

Thank goodness, the blind date banquet is in two days. I'll get through these two days.

Before Lu Manman could even wipe the relief off her face, the sounds outside the door grew closer, and then the door was suddenly opened.

Qi Xiuyuan looked at the companion robot and felt that something seemed different; it seemed cleaner and more radiant.

He quickly stepped forward, reached out and touched it; the temperature under his palm was no longer icy cold but warm.

Lu Manman closed her eyes and lay down as relaxed as possible, guessing that Qi Xiuyuan might be going to get something, hoping that Qi Xiuyuan could come in and out quickly.

Suddenly, a hand touched her face, and then she was lifted up by the waist, which startled Lu Manman so much that she almost lost her composure.

Hold on, hold on, you absolutely must hold on, or you'll be sliced ​​up.

The fear of being sliced ​​up successfully relaxed Lu Manman.

Resting her head on Qi Xiuyuan's strong chest, she felt a sharp, uncomfortable pressure, and heard the rhythmic beating of his heart. Lu Manman felt her heart pounding like thunder.

What's going on? Didn't he say he wasn't interested in women? Is he interested in robots?
