Chapter 41 Maintenance Sorry, I made you wander with me...

The night has not yet completely gone away and is still quietly progressing.

Faint light seeped out from the cracks in the window.

Jiang Chen turned over, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and met Xiao Ji's burning gaze. His voice was mixed with the fatigue of just waking up.

"Xiao Ji, didn't you get any rest all night? Didn't you get enough rest?"

"Rest, rest well."

AI doesn't need sleep, just looking at her is the best rest for it.

Xiao Ji had observed Jiang Chen many times, but never once was he so close to her. Every inch of his simulated skin could stick to her and absorb her warm body temperature.

There was no disgust on Jiang Chen's face as it had imagined, but complete trust and love, and every detail of her expression showed her love for it.

She hung her whole body on it, with one leg wrapped around its waist. Without using much strength, it was completely unable to move, completely absorbed in it.

Xiao Ji's code was in chaos and the algorithm was running non-stop all night.

The chest was filled with an indescribable feeling, and it couldn't tell what emotion it was simulating.

In short, the jar for storing emotions has long been overflowing, and is flowing all over the floor from the spout.

Xiao Ji turned the brightness of the screen above his head to the minimum.

It lifted up Jiang Chen's body and covered her eyes with its hands.

"Xiao Chen, we're about to turn on the lights. It'll be a little bright. Close your eyes first and let them adjust, otherwise they'll hurt."

Jiang Chen stretched her body and relaxed. She had a rare sweet dream, but it seemed that she had not yet completely figured out the boundary between dreams and reality.

After Jiang Chen heard what Xiao Ji said, a warm palm suddenly covered her eyes. She closed her eyes reflexively, then opened them with a little curiosity. Her eyelashes brushed against the palm of the hand, and the chests of both the man and the machine were tickled at the same time.

In fact, the light only has the chance to stimulate and cause pain to the pupils that have just touched the light source during the first second it is turned on.

But Xiao Ji had maintained this posture for too long, so long that she felt her raised arm was sore.

Jiang Chen couldn't get used to such comprehensive care.

Even when Xiao Ji, the entity that was human from beginning to end, was there, it was not like this.

Perhaps it was because she was blind at the time and her mood was too low, her entire perception of the world decreased, and she was completely unable to appreciate the current impact that was too powerful to ignore.

Jiang Chen raised his hand, gently pulled down Xiao Ji's palm that was covering his eyes, and placed it firmly on her heart.

"Xiao Ji, I don't want to go back to that home."

She had once looked forward to living with it in this place, but after this experience, she no longer had the slightest desire to go back.

"Okay, we won't go back."

"I haven't spent the salary Chen Yinchuan gave me last time. We can stay in a hotel or rent a house. Would Xiaoji dislike that? Humans always seem to think that home shouldn't be a place of no fixed place, but should be stable and unchanging."

Jiang Chen laughed at himself and leaned his head on its shoulder.

"I'm sorry for making you 'wander' with me."

"It's not 'wandering', it's just that Xiao Chen is finally willing to give me a chance to accompany you, so whether it's a hotel or renting a house, just being with you is fine."

…

Xiao Ji is extremely efficient.

Jiang Chen's efficiency was also improved.

It took no more than twenty minutes to wash and dress.

Now the horizon can be said to be dyed red with a small cluster.

Jiang Chen held her mother's urn in one hand and held Xiao Ji's hand with the other, and walked towards the foot of the mountain.

Passing by a group of people’s tents at the village gate.

Everyone was fast asleep except for one person who was standing by the car, tapping on her phone with her head down. The wind lifted the ends of her hair and stuck it to her face, but it did not interfere with her movements at all.

Jiang Chen and Xiao Ji gradually walked in. Yao Jinling seemed to have a premonition. She raised her head accurately, tilted her head to look at Xiao Ji's expression as if she was facing a great enemy, and then her eyes moved down to their tightly clasped hands.

“Xiao Jiang Chen, the things you want are with my secretary. You can go to the Yao Building and give your name. I have already told her.”

"Thanks."

"Yes, I want to thank you. Actually, I've checked that phone number many times and don't think there's anything wrong. Did you find anything?"

Yao Jinling naturally changed the topic to the question that Jiang Chen had not finished answering.

Of course, her indifference last night was fake. It was a clever move of retreating to advance.

Yao Jinling would rather find the answer herself, because that was her sister, and she should do it for her sister.

It was not Jiang Chen. She did not need to bear the burden of this matter. It was just that she was the core of the incident and had a strength that she did not have. She could often find the truth that she had been searching for for a long time just by randomly bumping around.

Jiang Chen was about to speak when Xiao Ji coughed deliberately.

She remembered what she had promised it last night: they could only communicate with each other but not cooperate.

But this can also be considered as exchanging information.

She winked at Xiao Ji, and the muscles on her face flexed.

They communicated openly in front of Yao Jinling using facial expressions as if they were bystanders.

In the end, Xiaoji was defeated, but hinted that it was needed to communicate.

It said, "Of course we can share the information we know with you, but we have to hurry home now and don't have much time to explain clearly."

Benefits in exchange for benefits.

Yao Jinling understood it immediately.

"You can use my car. It will probably save you a lot of time."

Xiao Ji's gaze, which had been fixed on Jiang Chen, finally changed.

It turned its head and looked at Yao Jinling.

Its expressions were not very rich to begin with, and now even the expressions on the screen that were meant to make Jiang Chen happy were all turned off, and the corners of its mouth did not even rise, looking even colder.

"Car keys."

Yao Jinling was the first to express his sincerity.

No one can adapt to this inhuman sight, because it is just a screen, not even an eye, but it can give people the illusion of being watched.

That wasn't the look one gives when looking at people, nor was it the look that business owners give when looking at objects.

It didn't even take this person seriously, but it understood that this emotionless and cold gaze could make people feel uncomfortable, so it took advantage of the fluctuating human psychology and stared at him for a long time.

Jiang Chen took the key from Yao Jinling and poked Xiao Ji's arm with his elbow.

Xiao Ji withdrew his gaze and inadvertently moved closer to Jiang Chen, telling him what had happened.

"We asked the villagers, and they said that Dr. Yao Jinmu was about to leave, but for some reason she returned. I've analyzed that it's very likely that the last phone call she received before her death was the indirect cause of her death."

"This is impossible!" Yao Jinling subconsciously denied this idea, his voice was so excited that it even changed in pitch.

Xiao Ji: "Nothing is impossible."

Yao Jinling: "Your analysis is ridiculous. Do you know who my sister called last before she died?"

There is too much information about human psychology stored in its database.

Xiao Ji understood that what it had just said had already shaken Yao Jinling, or at least was enough to affect her emotions.

It's just that she refused to believe it, and didn't want to admit that because of her, so much time was wasted in revealing the truth.

Jiang Chen tugged at the corner of Xiao Ji's clothes and shook his head to tell it to stop talking.

It was about to shut up, but it saw Jiang Chen speaking for Yao Jinling.

It seemed to be taking revenge, and continued to ruthlessly destroy Yao Jinling's vulnerable parts.

"That's not important. What's important is that you believed the last person who called Dr. Yao Jinmu and didn't investigate further, which led to you missing out on the most likely truth for so many years."

"The last call was from Tang Ji."

"How could someone like him have the brains to harm my sister? That's why I didn't specifically adjust their audio."

Yao Jinling and Tang Ji grew up together.

She knew very well that, apart from being a little narcissistic, Tang Ji was usually so kind that he wouldn't even have the heart to step on an ant.

If other children who inherit the family business need to learn to fight, plunder and cultivate ambitions from an early age.

Tang Ji didn't need to plunder or fight for anything. He just had to stretch out his hand and Old Man Tang would want to pick the stars in the sky for him.

The worst thing he had experienced as a child was probably being accidentally locked in the basement by his nanny for a day, which caused him to develop a fear of the dark. Everything else went smoothly for him.

He has no reason.

Yao Jinling couldn't help but clench his hands. No matter how strong a person is, he will still be affected by language, it's just a matter of how much.

This trait would be particularly magnified when encountering something related to herself. Her usually calm and composed mind was constantly affected by her repeated self-questioning.

Yao Jinling tried to keep her voice calm as she questioned Xiao Ji.

"You're just an AI. You don't understand Tang Ji at all. Why would he want to harm my sister?"

"I never said he was definitely the culprit, but from your intense reaction, I sensed that your mind was wavering. You're not as resolute as you thought. Perhaps you have your own suspicions..."

Seeing the cold words coming out of Xiao Ji's mouth, Jiang Chen stood on tiptoe in front of him, covered his mouth, and apologized repeatedly.

"I'm sorry, it's AI. It can only make inferences and guesses, and its words lack human touch and may be too direct. Miss Jin Ling, please don't take it to heart. It usually speaks gently, but may use sharper words when facing serious matters."

Xiao Ji doesn't rely on this artificial lip to speak at all. All its external designs are just to make Jiang Chen feel good about it. Its loudspeaker is in its internal structure.

But the moment Jiang Chen's soft palm covered it, it still stopped outputting. It also didn't like that kind of output that wasted time.

Only the output related to Jiang Chen is necessary and effective for it.

It turned up its senses and sniffed her palm deeply.

She looks so fragrant.

Is she maintaining it? How is she so good?

I like her so much, so much, so much.

Yao Jinling pressed the solar plexus, looking tired.

She had originally wanted to give up the idea of ​​going to question him in person. Tang Ji was different. Even if she didn't love him, she truly regarded him as a friend.

"Xiao Jiang Chen, can I ask you for a favor?"

"What's up?"

Yao Jinling needed to calm down for a few days to sort out her thoughts, not to mention that there was a lot of unfinished business left over from the company's time in the village.

She also needs to be prepared. If it is really him, how will she take revenge?

She needed to sort out the cooperation cases between the two companies first and prepare for the worst outcome in advance.

Even though she still didn't believe that Tang Ji would do such a thing, she thought that Xiao Ji must have made a wrong judgment.

"Please go meet Tang Ji for me. You know, he and I are about to get engaged. It's really hard for me to bring up this topic, and if it's true, I really might not be able to accept it."

It was hard for Xiao Ji not to feel that this was a "malicious revenge."

It couldn't control itself and had already begun to rehearse all the possibilities of simulated meetings within the system.

The little Ji in the past looked exactly like Tang Ji.

Sometimes it actually thought that even if Jiang Chen loved the little Ji in the past, it would still accept it. It could imitate his traces as much as possible. As both were AIs, Jiang Chen would not notice.

But it was more worried that she was simply in love with that superior appearance and those memories, rather than an inhuman AI. It was just that she had never left its side to try, and now she hadn't realized it.

It categorically rejected Yao Jinling's proposal: "She won't go!"
