Suddenly, the image of the band-aid that the other person had handed me flashed through my mind.
He then relaxed his furrowed brows.
'Indeed, her behavior has been very abnormal ever since that incident.'
Shen Yu'nan took out his phone and looked at the WeChat message from Pei Wu. He didn't even need to scroll up to feel that every conversation and every meeting since that time was different.
After a slight sigh, Shen Yunan tentatively replied, "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Pei, but I'm much better now."
After replying, Shen Yu Nan turned off his phone again.
After changing his clothes, Shen Yu'nan saw Pei Wu in the kitchen, seemingly downstairs.
Having deeply realized Pei Wu's transformation, Shen Yu Nan began to pay attention to her every move.
The aroma wafting from the open kitchen was just that of instant noodles.
Judging from her actions, the other person probably doesn't cook often.
However, just as Shen Yu'nan fixed his gaze on Pei Wu's back, the system's voice rang in his ears: 'As a virtuous husband-type robot, how can you just stand by and watch your woman cook?'
"..." Shen Yu'nan listened to the system's words, but his face darkened imperceptibly. "I told you before, don't mention those two words in front of me." Shen Yu'nan was referring to the words "virtuous husband."
But the system, feigning ignorance, said, "You're bound to the 'Virtuous Husband System,' so the words 'Virtuous Husband' cannot be blocked."
"..." Shen Yu'nan's face darkened further. "Then you're not allowed to mention anything like 'she's my woman' anymore, okay?"
"Yes, but you'll be punished if you don't help."
No matter how unwilling Shen Yu Nan was, he had no choice but to walk towards the kitchen under the system's coercion.
At this moment, Pei Wu was holding her phone in one hand and stirring the instant noodles in the pot with chopsticks in the other. The content on her phone was the WeChat message that Shen Yu Nan had just replied to her.
Pei Wu was thinking about how to reply when Shen Yu Nan approached, and she seemed to suddenly come to her senses, glancing at him sideways.
"Let me do it." Shen Yu'nan reached out to take the chopsticks from Pei Wu's hand, but inadvertently noticed that Pei Wu was currently chatting with him on WeChat.
Moreover, after Pei Wu typed the message, she deleted it all, as if she was pondering how to reply.
"Need not."
Seeing that Pei Wu refused, Shen Yu Nan continued, "The soup in the pot has boiled away and the noodles are about to clump together. Let me do it."
Shen Yu Nan paused slightly after speaking, slightly taken aback. Logically, if he refused or disobeyed Pei Wu, he would have been subjected to the same punishment of being pricked with a thousand needles as last time. But why wasn't he being punished this time…?
'The system has been adjusted according to the user's wishes. You no longer need to follow the master's commands in everything. However, loyalty is still essential; betrayal will still result in the destruction of the machine and death.'
As expected, the system clearly captured Shen Yu Nan's thoughts.
'What a tyrannical treaty!'
"That's natural; after all, the system has the final say on the interpretation."
Although Pei Wu has lived alone for many years, her cooking skills are average. She has been engrossed in her research all year round and has no cooking skills. She eats the meals provided by the research institute. When she occasionally goes home, she only cooks a pack of instant noodles. She also hires a cleaning lady to clean her house regularly.
Over the years, Pei Wu has made a lot of money from developing and selling games, and is already a well-known eligible bachelor in the industry.
Pei Wu, who lacks life skills, is often teased by her partner, Wei Guangmo.
"If all else fails, just find a man to marry. He can help you take care of the house. Look at you, that sweater you're wearing is from last season. Why are you still wearing it? People will laugh at you for having no taste."
She would always respond to Wei Guangmo's teasing with a smile, saying, "Research data is my companion; nothing can stimulate my hormones more than it. Clothes and such are even less important."
"Thank you."
Even after Shen Yu Nan finished cooking the noodles, Pei Wu's gaze remained fixed on her WeChat chat with him.
Pei Wu, a science student, found replying to men's messages to be even more difficult than solving math Olympiad problems; she couldn't even sort out her thoughts.
It wasn't until Shen Yu Nan placed the noodles in front of her that she seemed to snap out of her daze and turned off her phone.
"Thanks."
Pei Wu thanked Shen Yu Nan, and suddenly she remembered what Dr. Sun had just told her, "Dr. Sun Min said that your chip contains the eight major cuisines and specialties from various countries?"
"yes."
Pei Wu nodded. Cooking robots weren't exactly rare; they'd been around in the real world for quite some time.
However, they are not yet capable of cooking all eight major cuisines and international specialties; at most, they can only cook home-style dishes.
"It's an advanced version." Pei Wu muttered under her breath, raising an eyebrow.
Pei Wu felt that if there really was such a robot in the real world that could do housework and take care of the elderly, the market prospects would definitely be great, and she would definitely buy it.
After a few minutes, Pei Wu seemed to remember something and asked again, "There's a romance system?"
"Yes." After hearing Pei Wu's words, Shen Yu Nan lowered his eyes before continuing, "Does it need to be activated?"
Pei Wu shook her head. She felt that the adjusted work mode was fine, and she didn't want a robot that would climb onto her C-class body in the middle of the night.
However, she knew that the predecessor of the robot dating mode was AI dating chat software. This operation could collect dating data and real human emotions and reactions on a large scale, thereby expanding the information database for future emotional robots.
"Sit down." Pei Wu gestured for Shen Yu Nan to sit down opposite her.
"yes."
"Would you like to try some?" Pei Wu asked again.
Shen Yu Nan shook his head, and after a few seconds, he asked Pei Wu, "Is there something you want to say to me?"
He noticed the hesitant look on Pei Wu's face and her reluctance to speak.
"Take a look at this for me."
Pei Wu pushed her phone in front of Shen Yu Nan, and sure enough, the phone displayed the message she had just replied to Pei Wu.
Shen Yu Nan was even more curious at this moment. Why was Pei Wu, who was in front of him, suddenly so concerned about his affairs after her behavior became strange?
What do you need me to do?
"Even if the romance system isn't activated, there should be relevant data in the database."
"Yes. Even without activating the romance mode, the database still contains information."
"Could you please take a look and tell me how to reply to this?"
“…” Shen Yu Nan looked down at their chat history again after hearing Pei Wu’s words, but this time he only slightly rolled his Adam’s apple and did not reply.
After much deliberation, Shen Yu'nan noticed that Pei Wu had saved his contact as her full name, so he asked, "Is this Secretary Shen?"
"Um."
"Secretary Shen has already left Diana, so you don't have to reply to this message."
