With Yuanyuan's help, Lu Manman washed the dishes and explored the kitchen. Finally, she said leisurely, "Yuanyuan, why didn't you tell me there was a kitchen and food here?"

Yuan Yuan looked completely bewildered. "But Master eats nutritional supplements. This is the first time I've ever seen Master eat freshly cooked food."

Oh, Lu Manman said she also really wanted to eat freshly cooked food, but it was definitely not possible now that Qi Xiuyuan was at home.

When Lu Manman and Yuanyuan came out of the kitchen, they saw Qi Xiuyuan sitting on the sofa, his fingers moving across the empty light screen, as if he was looking at something.

Lu Manman paused, feeling uneasy again, unsure of what to do next.

Seeing that Qi Xiuyuan was working so hard, she didn't want to disturb him, so she could only stand there silently. Yuanyuan also stood silently behind Lu Manman.

But soon Yuanyuan felt a weight on her body as Huahua leaned against her. Worried that Huahua had malfunctioned again, Yuanyuan anxiously called out, "Huahua?"

"Okay, Yuanyuan, let me lean on you for a bit, I have some problems." She had been busy with her online store day and night for the past few days, and she hadn't stopped much today either. She was tired, but she still had to maintain the image of a robot.

"Okay, Huahua, you can rely on me. Just call me if you need anything."

Qi Xiuyuan frowned. Frequent unusual movements were occurring at the front lines, with the lines in the east, west, south, and north all showing signs of weakening. The Zerg's recent reckless fighting style had everyone sensing something unusual.

But now, just because of a woman's words, he has to leave the battlefield and attend this ridiculous matchmaking banquet.

Thinking about the blind date dinner, Qi Xiuyuan rubbed his temples, looked at the companion robot standing at the kitchen door, and waved, "Come here!"

Lu Manman instantly perked up and walked up to Qi Xiuyuan.

As soon as he stood still, Qi Xiuyuan pointed his personal terminal at himself, clicked a shutter, and left.

Lu Manman: ...It seems like I was just photographed.

However, given her current status, she couldn't ask anything. It didn't matter anymore. Seeing him walk into the room, Lu Manman plopped down on the sofa.

After standing for so long, my sore legs are finally relieved, and Lu Manman stretched and yawned.

Mmm, this sofa is so soft and comfortable. Lu Manman couldn't help but yawn repeatedly, and her eyelids grew heavier and heavier until she finally couldn't stay awake any longer and fell asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, Qi Xiuyuan returned to the sofa and saw this scene.

The girl was sleeping soundly, her cheeks rosy. She had never heard of companion robots before, and she never imagined that companion robots could be so realistic.

"Hey, wake up!"

Lu Manman opened her eyes with a quick swipe, her vision clear, not at all like someone who had been asleep.

Lu Manman smiled brightly, "Master, Xiuyuan!"

Having developed a habit of light sleep during the apocalypse, she woke up the moment he approached, but he was too fast for Lu Manman to open her eyes in time.

Qi Xiuyuan nodded and placed the gift box on the sofa. "Try this outfit on."

Speaking of clothes, Lu Manman belatedly realized that she was wearing very revealing clothes.

I was so focused on not giving myself away that I completely forgot about this.

Lu Manman blushed slightly, then her smile became more sincere. "Okay, Xiuyuan."

Given the nature of robot companions, they should be changed in front of their owners, but Lu Manman's sense of shame wouldn't allow him to do so.

So Lu Manman calmly picked up the gift box and headed to the warehouse. The instant the door closed, she changed her clothes with lightning speed.

Wow, it's actually a formal dress, and a pair of high heels in the same color.

The journey was long, so after tidying up a bit, I went out.

Wearing a burgundy strapless matte satin dress, Lu Manman's stunning figure was perfectly accentuated, instantly transforming her from innocent to alluring.

Qi Xiuyuan nodded, very satisfied with the effect; it looked much better than those women. "You should wear it like this."

Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect Qi Xiuyuan to have this kind of hobby. On the surface, he smiled slightly and said, "Okay, I like it very much."

"Okay!" Qi Xiuyuan said and then left.

Lu Manman wasn't sure if Qi Xiuyuan had noticed anything amiss while she was sleeping. After thinking for a moment, Lu Manman jogged up to Qi Xiuyuan. "Xiuyuan, is there anything I can do for you?"

Qi Xiuyuan looked down at the person in front of him and said with a smile, "I need to take a shower, will you help me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the comrade who had always served him looked at Lu Manman with a sense of crisis, because even it couldn't serve its master a bath.

Lu Manman: ...There's no need for that.

"Okay, Xiuyuan, I'll be waiting for you here."

Tai She is dead. I hope the banquet comes soon, she can't take it anymore. By the way, where did Yuan Yuan go?

After Qi Xiuyuan and his comrades entered the room, Lu Manman looked around and finally found Yuanyuan in a corner.

Lu Manman glanced around the room, thinking he would probably be gone for a while, and quickly ran to Yuanyuan.

"Yuanyuan, why do you like to stay in the corner so much as soon as your owner comes home?"

"The owner likes to be alone at home and doesn't like robots wandering around in front of him. Even his comrades only tidy up his room before going into hibernation."

Yuanyuan paused for a moment, then continued, "But you should be an exception."

"Moreover, my comrades take care of all my needs, so I don't feel any sense of accomplishment or presence at all."

Hmm~ Lu Manman thought for a moment, then asked seriously, "Are you really that eager to offer something to your master?"

"Of course, that's the meaning of our existence as robots. A machine that isn't needed is pitiful."

"What if one day you have the chance to find a new owner who really needs you?"

Perhaps she is the first person in the world she has spoken to and met. Although she is a robot, Lu Manman has a special fondness for Yuanyuan. If she wants, perhaps she could take her with her.

Without a second thought, Yuanyuan resolutely refused, saying, "No, my master is already bound to my master, and that cannot be changed. I must be absolutely loyal to my master."

Sigh, what a devoted and innocent little robot. Lu Manman patted Yuanyuan's head and thought that she would buy a robot as cute as Yuanyuan when she was free.

Although she was talking, Lu Manman kept an eye on the sounds coming from the other side. When she heard the sound of water gradually stop, Lu Manman quickly said goodbye to Yuanyuan and returned to her previous position, maintaining the same posture.

Qi Xiuyuan came out wrapped in a bath towel. His perfectly sculpted muscles were covered in water droplets that playfully slid across them, complementing his handsome face and his wet hair swept back.

What a seductive wet look! Lu Manman stared, her cheeks burning. Then she realized, why did she have to come out in such a flashy way when she could just dry herself off with one click?

Seeing Qi Xiuyuan staring at her, Lu Manman felt a little uncomfortable, so she simply reminded him softly, "Xiuyuan, remember to air dry, otherwise you'll catch a cold."

"knew."

"Hopefully this robot will work," Qi Xiuyuan said, walking straight to the cabinet next to him. He paused after opening the cabinet, noticing that the nutrient solution seemed to be placed in the wrong spot.
