Chapter 74: Starving
"Sign." Ye Xuan replied to the robot, "Sign now, immediately. Are you happy?"
The robot's eyes turned into a heart shape. He opened his belly, took out two styluses and handed them to Ye Xuan and Xia Chenxi respectively.
"You finally came to your senses. That's great. Once you sign, I can report to the higher-ups."
Ye Xuan laughed when he heard the robot say this, "You, a robot, still have to work."
The robot's loving eyes turned into sad, tearful eyes.
"Whether real or fake, as long as they are human, they have to work."
There is no distinction between species for cattle and horses, and now there is no distinction even for living things, and they are exploited as much as possible.
The thinking of the upper echelons of the base is very consistent with the thinking of capitalists.
Ye Xuan signed on the screen with a pen and returned the pen to the robot, and Xia Chenxi did the same.
The robot put away the pen and bowed to Ye Xuan and Xia Chenxi, "Thank you for your cooperation, I won't bother you anymore."
It walked to the door, opened it, and closed it behind it.
Ye Xuan sat on the ground, leaning against Xia Chenxi.
"It will be fine this way, Xia Chenxi, right?"
Xia Chenxi put his big hand on Ye Xuan's head and rubbed it, "It will be fine. If you are worried, I will accompany you to see your uncle and aunt tonight."
"Aren't you feeling unwell?" Ye Xuan turned to Xia Chenxi.
Xia Chenxi's expression was unnatural for a moment. He retracted his hand, clenched his fist and put it to his mouth. "After being disturbed by that robot just now, I don't seem to feel so uncomfortable anymore."
"You're fine so quickly." Ye Xuan looked at Xia Chenxi suspiciously. Xia Chenxi wouldn't lie to him, right? He looked like he was dying and about to collapse at any moment. "Forget it, you should rest well in the dormitory. I'll go take a look and be back soon."
"good."
It would be better for Ye Xuan to go to his parents' place, so that he would not mention to him what happened before the robot came. If asked, he would not know what excuse to make to get away with it.
Xia Chenxi leaned on the sofa and watched Ye Xuan walk to the door, "Come back early after making sure uncle and aunt are okay."
"Well, wait for me in the dormitory, I'll come back and bring you food."
Ye Xuan went out and flashed directly to the family quarters. After registering, he went straight to the room where his parents were without even taking the elevator.
His sudden appearance scared Ye's father and mother.
Father Ye was drinking water when he was startled by his rebellious son and started coughing because of the choking.
"Ahem, ahem, you, ahem, you're going to scare your father to death, ahem, scare your father to death."
Mother Ye sat next to Father Ye and patted him on the back to calm him down.
“Xiaoxuan, what’s your skill? How come you suddenly appeared in our house?”
It’s bad, I was just anxious, but I didn’t expect this. Ye Xuan hesitated for a long time.
"Is it some high-tech thing?" Ye's mother said to Ye Xuan in a soft voice.
Ye Xuan immediately went down the stairs, "Yes, yes, it's the new high-tech developed by the base. It's still in the trial stage and is unstable."
Dad Ye coughed for a while and then recovered.
"You bastard, why are you here all of a sudden? Where's Xiaochen? Why isn't he here?"
"He has something to do and can't come." Ye Xuan answered vaguely and asked them if there was anyone else looking for them.
Father and Mother Ye looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.
"No, what happened?" Ye's mother held Ye Xuan's hand, "Xiao Xuan, don't handle anything by yourself, tell us. Although we can't help you now, we can still give you some advice."
Ye Xuan opened his mouth and shook his head, "Nothing, I heard that there is a major inspection at the base, it seems that it hasn't started yet."
Ye's mother relaxed and said, "That's good."
Ye Xuan chatted with his father and mother about what happened today, ignoring the bloody and violent part.
After hearing this, Ye's father praised Ye Xuan for doing a good job and said, "No matter what you do, you can't be a softie."
"Old man, your son has a will of steel. He will never be a softie in his life." Ye Xuan half raised his head, raised his eyebrows at Ye's father and grinned.
It was rare for Ye's father not to bicker with Ye Xuan. He was laughing happily when he started coughing again.
Ye Xuan went to help him up and asked, "Is your cold still not healed?"
Ye's mother said on behalf of Ye's father: "Thanks to your medicine, it is much better now."
Father Ye recovered and waved at Ye Xuan, "Alright, brat, your father is not that fragile, just take care of yourself."
Ye Xuan was still worried. His old man had caught a cold before, but he had never had such a long cold period.
"Hey, I've already told you it's okay. If you're really worried that your father might get into trouble, bring him some medicine next time."
"Who said I was worried about you?" Ye Xuan said stubbornly, "Since there is nothing else, I will leave first. I will come to see you next time. Xia Chenxi is still waiting for me to bring food back."
"Okay, bring Xiaochen with you next time, and Xiaozhou too, bring them along to liven things up."
"Uh, um." Ye Xuan laughed awkwardly. These two had just finished a fight. He didn't know what kind of crematorium it would be when they met next time.
But there's no need to tell his mother about this.
Ye's mother sent Ye Xuan to the door, gave him a few instructions, and watched him leave.
After leaving the family compound, Ye Xuan quickly went to the cafeteria to buy food. The cafeteria's busiest time period had passed, and now not many people were buying food, and of course there were no good dishes left.
Ye Xuan stood in front of the window choosing dishes.
"Small Crispy Pork, Mapo Tofu..."
"Ye Xuan." Someone called him from behind.
Ye Xuan turned around and said, "Guan Yu, you come to buy food too."
"Yes." Guan Yu walked to the window next to Ye Xuan, "Fish-flavored Shredded Pork Rice, take-away."
The cafeteria staff handed Ye Xuan the two meals he had packed. At the same time, Guan Yu also packed his meals.
"Is it convenient? Let's go to your dormitory and have a meal together." Guan Yu looked at Ye Xuan with the meal in his hand, "If it's not convenient, forget it."
"It's convenient. Let's go together."
If Ye Xuan goes with Guan Yu, he will not be able to use his supernatural powers.
He checked the time on his bracelet from time to time along the way, and it was almost eight o'clock.
Guan Yu noticed his little action, chuckled, and asked: "Ye Xuan, are you and Xia Chenxi in love?"
"What!" In the darkness, Ye Xuan's face instantly heated up and became hot, "No, don't talk nonsense, Xia Chenxi and I are brothers, just like you."
"Really? Are they really the same?" Guan Yu's question made Ye Xuan speechless.
After a long while, he finally spoke: "Same, we are brothers."
Guan Yu chuckled again, "I'm different. I like Nan Yunzhou. His arrogant look, his sad look, his cute look, every look attracts me. When I see him, my heart beats faster and I can't help it."
"You, why did you tell me that you like Nan Yunzhou? I don't mean to snatch Nan Yunzhou from you. In my eyes, Nan Yunzhou is also my brother."
"I know. I can see that."
Guan Yu stopped and stood still. He asked Ye Xuan: "But do you really only regard Xia Chenxi as a brother? Has your heart never been flustered because of him?"
Bang, bang, bang.
Ye Xuan tightly grasped the plastic bag in his hand. How could there be no heart? His heart was beating very fast, so fast that it seemed like it would jump out of his chest.
What did Xia Chenxi want to say to him when she hugged him in the afternoon?
Ye Xuan, I...
What exactly did Xia Chenxi want to say to him?
Guan Yu patted Ye Xuan on the shoulder and said, "Let's go. Don't let the guy in the dormitory get hungry. He must have been feeling very uncomfortable this afternoon."
