Shen Yu'nan shook his head and replied in a still hoarse voice, "It's nothing."
"You should have a smile on your face." The cold, mechanical voice of the system suddenly rang in his ears, sending a chill down Shen Yu'nan's spine.
He could only manage a forced smile, but the forced smile was inexplicably... comical.
Despite having an unwilling expression, he forced a smile...
Pei Wu raised an eyebrow at the less-than-pleasant smile on Shen Yu Nan's face. Out of professional habit, Pei Wu stepped forward and asked, "Is your chip installed in the back of your neck? Would you like me to check it for you?"
A slight, gentle smile curved her lips, and she remained calm and mild-mannered.
Pei Wu had no idea that the little robot in front of her had been punished by the system and forced to please its master. She just thought that the machine might need some adjustments after it had just been turned on. After all, Shen Yu Nan's expression just now seemed to be smiling but he couldn't find the right emotion, which seemed to her more like a problem with the system.
"........"
Pei Wu's words inexplicably made Shen Yu Nan feel a slight burning sensation on the back of his neck. Not only did it feel hot, but he could also feel something throbbing inside. Because he had just refused Pei Wu's request and was punished by the system, Shen Yu Nan did not make any rash moves this time.
He pursed his lips, resisting in his heart but not uttering a word of refusal. The system's settings were rather strange; no matter how much he cursed the other party in his heart, it didn't matter, but he couldn't disobey the other party's orders in his actions.
Perhaps Pei Wu had been delayed, so Mo You knocked on Pei Wu's door again.
"Miss, Madam is waiting for you to start your meal. She has already sent someone over to urge you twice."
Mo You's words outside the door caused both of them inside to freeze for a moment.
Pei Wu replied, "I understand." Then she said to Shen Yu Nan, "Then I'll check it for you when I get back after dinner, okay?"
Shen Yu Nan looked relieved and nodded slightly. He was about to get up from the sofa, but his knees were sore and weak from the punishment the system had just given him. He was about to fall when his legs gave way. Pei Wu instinctively reached out and supported him. At this moment, one of her hands was on his shoulder and the other was holding Shen Yu Nan's hand.
This was the first time Pei Wu had close contact with the robot's body after the machine was started.
At this moment, Shen Yu Nan, who was in shock from his intimate contact with Pei Wu, suddenly went blank, a loud bang, his vision went black, his body went limp, and he knew nothing more.
He didn't know how much time had passed when Shen Yu Nan opened his eyes again. What he saw was the yellowed and mottled ceiling of his rented room.
At first, Shen Yu Nan's vision was somewhat blurry, as if someone had draped a thin veil over his eyes, making it difficult to see things clearly. He slowly blinked a few times before he could see what was in front of him.
Once his vision cleared, he suddenly opened his eyes and sat up abruptly. The yellow file folder on the blanket was quite conspicuous.
The sky outside the window was as dark as ink. Just when he thought everything that had just happened was a dream, the sudden pain in his body and the numbness in his legs brought him back to reality.
His reason reminded him that what was happening was not a dream.
Why did I escape the robot's body and return to my own?
The last scene of his memory was of his hands intertwined with Pei Wu's. Shen Yu Nan lowered his eyes thoughtfully to look at his own hands.
His fingertips twitched slightly.
'Could it be that the key to returning to my physical body is getting intimate with that bastard Pei Wu?'
He sat there for a long time, gradually calming his thoughts.
After a long while, he went to get his phone from the bedside table, but it was dead and wouldn't turn on.
Shen Yu'nan charged his phone and realized that although it was nighttime, it was already the evening of the next day, at 8:30 pm.
'As expected.'
After the phone was turned on, a flood of missed calls and messages came in, most of them from the Shen family.
Shen Yu'nan stared blankly at the words, his face numb. Frustrated, he tossed his phone aside, not wanting to pay any attention to it.
"You're home."
As soon as Shen Yu'nan opened the bedroom door, he saw his roommate and fellow college roommate, Ji Congyan. Ji Congyan currently works for a foreign company, which is a Fortune 500 company. His family had gone to great lengths to squeeze him into the company.
However, whether he can stay after the internship depends on his own ability, because the internship salary is pitifully low, and he doesn't want to ask his family for money after graduation, which is why he shares an apartment with Shen Yu Nan.
"Look at you, did you sleep all day? Don't you want to work? Today is a workday."
This season, Cong Yan and Shen Yunan are two extremes. One is burdened by his family, while the other is an only child in a second-tier city. Born into a family without gender discrimination and being an only child, their happiness is something that ordinary people cannot understand.
"Have you eaten? I got some takeout from downstairs, would you like to eat together?"
After pulling out a chair and sitting down, Shen Yu'nan took a long time to speak before finally saying, "I've been fired."
"What?" Ji Congyan choked in disbelief, coughing twice before continuing, "You were doing just fine, how could you be fired like that? Looking at all our classmates, your job is the most respectable and pays the most. It will be hard to find a job like that again."
“…cough cough.” Shen Yu’nan lowered his eyes and remained silent.
"Your cold isn't better yet? Did you not take your medicine properly? I'll get you some cold medicine from my room later."
To outsiders, being able to become the president's assistant at Diana right after graduation is like having a cheat code. It's a respectable job with a high salary. When people mention that she is Miss Pei's secretary, everyone will give her a wide berth, all because of Miss Pei's influence behind this secretary.
But what kind of life Shen Yuhuan actually led with Pei Wu, only he himself knew.
"Don't be discouraged, don't be discouraged. After you've eaten, we'll find a job that's ten times better than this one." Ji Congyan comforted Shen Yu'nan as he spoke, serving him rice as he did so.
"Thanks."
Shen Yu'nan never smiled when he was with Pei Wu, but when he was with a friend who truly cared for him, he smiled naturally and genuinely.
