"Cough cough"
Two blushes rose on his pale face, making him look even paler. The inexplicable aches and pains in his body told Shen Yunan that he had a fever.
Just as Shen Yu Nan got out of the car, he saw the iron gate of the research institute slowly opening, as if someone had predicted that Shen Yu Nan would come at this moment.
The research institute wasn't large; the two standalone white buildings were connected together, and from the outside, they didn't look any different from any other research institute. Only the huge 'Primon' signboard was illuminated.
Shen Yu-Nan had heard of the Primon Institute and the name of Dr. Sun within it, but he had never met Dr. Sun.
Dr. Sun is actually quite famous, and many reporters have interviewed her, but she only has one requirement for interviewers: they must not infringe on her portrait rights.
Therefore, not many people have seen what Dr. Sun Min looks like.
At this moment, Shen Yu'nan, who was not wearing his glasses, could only vaguely make out a figure slowly walking in that direction.
"I've been waiting for you, Mr. Shen."
As she got closer, Shen Yu Nan finally got a clear look at the man who was speaking to her.
However, this man, who spoke with a refined accent, had unusually long gray hair that reached his waist. Even the eyes in his narrow eyes were an unusual gray-blue, and his whole being exuded a refined and unconventional air.
"Cough cough."
A thought flashed through Shen Yu Nan's dazed mind.
With such an overly refined appearance and figure, and skin so smooth that not a single hair could be seen on the face, the person in front of me must be a humanoid robot.
"..." Shen Yu Nan's brows furrowed slightly, a hint of inquiry flashing in his eyes. He nodded slightly, which was considered as an agreement with the other party.
The person in front of me was Dr. Sun Min's robot. At this moment, he spoke gently, with a faint smile on his face. He exuded elegance and his behavior was extremely proper. There was no trace of the humble posture he had shown when he groveled at Sun Min's feet that day.
Baron glanced at his watch and continued speaking to Shen Yu'nan, "Mr. Shen, you don't have much time. Please come with me. The doctor is waiting."
"Ahem." Shen Yu Nan coughed lightly, covering his mouth, and followed Baron into the research institute.
Baron's Chinese name is Cheng Tong, Tong, the same as the Chinese character for sycamore. However, Sun Min rarely calls him by his Chinese name, mostly calling him by his English name. Only when the two are entangled in bed and their emotions run high will Sun Min call him "Tong'er" in a hoarse voice.
Cheng Tong is Sun Min's most prized creation, but the machine's appearance is based on that of her mortal enemy. Dr. Sun probably felt very proud of having a face that resembled her mortal enemy and a humble appearance that was obedient to her.
Following behind Cheng Tong, Shen Yu Nan looked around. The interior of the research institute was simply decorated, but it was filled with high-tech equipment that he didn't recognize.
Like everyone else, even after serving as Pei Wu's secretary for three years, Shen Yu'nan had never met Dr. Sun. When Cheng Tong addressed the man as "Dr." with eyes full of awe, he could only vaguely picture Dr. Sun in his mind—probably an old scholar in a white lab coat, engrossed in studying data in a research lab.
Her hair was combed meticulously, perhaps even a little sparse, and she might be wearing thick glasses like the bottom of a bottle... with a strong cup of tea beside her.
"Doctor, Mr. Shen has arrived."
However, the appearance of the person in front of him was quite different from what Shen Yu Nan had imagined. This Dr. Sun looked very young, no more than 20 years old. His thick black hair was combed into two pigtails, and his wispy bangs with excellent curls added a touch of playfulness to the otherwise composed doctor.
The doctor, who should have been mature and composed, actually looked like a little girl.
Sun Min had large eyes, and his dark pupils shone like obsidian. When he looked at Shen Yu Nan, his eyes gleamed.
She looked Shen Yu Nan up and down, her fair hands hesitantly stroking her chin. "He does look like him, he really does, but..." Sun Min raised an eyebrow but didn't finish her sentence.
The person in front of me, however, had a more stubborn and unyielding spirit in his eyes than the young master of the Gu family.
Shen Yunan lowered his eyelids, and in the instant his thoughts were turning, he looked up at Sun Min again.
Why did you choose me?
He knew in his heart that when Dr. Sun said "similar," he meant that he looked quite similar to Gu Yanyu, the young master of the Gu family.
Sun Min seemed to have anticipated Shen Yu'nan's question, and almost instinctively replied, "I don't want to answer the same question a second time. I reckon in about ten minutes you'll be going back into the robot's body. If you don't want to stay in that cold machine forever, you'd better listen to the system."
“…” Shen Yu’nan’s brows furrowed tightly. Even though he hated this feeling of being manipulated, he was helpless.
“However, don’t worry, the research institute has many sophisticated instruments that can protect your body while you are on your mission.” Sun Min still had a smile on his face. “You don’t have much time left.” Sun Min paused and then called out, “Baron, take Mr. Chen to the lounge.”
"yes."
Cheng Tong once again led Shen Yu Nan to the lounge that Sun Min had mentioned. This lounge, as Sun Min described it, was actually a small metal chamber. Even the door to the lounge could only be unlocked by Cheng Tong's iris scan. The small chamber was filled with sophisticated instruments.
"These instruments can maintain your normal vital signs while you are completing your mission, Mr. Shen."
Cheng Tong, who had just said this, simply took out a metal bracelet and asked Shen Yunan to put it on. Shen Yunan looked at it closely, but as a layman, he couldn't tell the difference. He thought it was no different from ordinary metal, except that there was a blue crystal-like object in the middle of the metal bracelet, which was faintly glowing.
"This is an instrument to monitor your vital signs," Cheng Tong explained, seeing through Shen Yu Nan's thoughts. Seeing that Shen Yu Nan didn't understand, she urged, "Mr. Shen, you really don't have much time left. If you don't do as we ask, you will have to bear the consequences yourself if any health problems arise."
Under the beam of light shining from above, Cheng Tong's silver hair seemed to be coated with a layer of light, and the faint glow scattered on his face, making him incredibly beautiful, like an elf hidden in the world.
"You have only two minutes and forty-five seconds left to hesitate."
"..." At this moment, Shen Yu Nan, who was being controlled by others, could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger, and reached out to take the metal bracelet from Cheng Tong's hand.
