Chapter 20 Why doesn't it feel like I'm acting and lying to you like a puppy?
The snow stopped and the doctor stood alone in the courtyard, putting away his umbrella.
Jiang Ziyi appeared behind him at some point.
"You're back." He turned around, and the loneliness between his brows disappeared completely.
"How long have I been gone this time?" Jiang Ziyi adjusted the red scarf around his neck.
"Seventy-three thousand four hundred and nineteen days, twenty hours, forty-eight minutes and nine seconds." Gu Zhi's answer was extremely precise.
"Then how come you are still alive?" Jiang Ziyi asked in disbelief.
"I am the twelfth generation robot created by the doctor," Gu Zhi said in a realistic mechanical voice, "The last instruction he gave me was to wait for the day when I could meet you again.
"This is such a boring mission." Jiang Ziyi said in a low voice.
"I don't think so," Gu Zhi's eyes were gentle and restrained, "Most lives on this planet will only be trapped in a long and meaningless wait, but your existence makes my time no longer wasted."
"The Doctor and I both want to know, was your journey wonderful?"
"I first went to Astark and overthrew the rule of the brutal marshal together with Yingzi. Then I met a group of Cyclops in an abandoned fortress on the planet Mikaso. Their king was addicted to arcade games and hadn't fought a war for a long time." Jiang Ziyi said excitedly.
"I accidentally fell into the purple vortex of Diderot and was rescued by a spaceship with wings like butterfly wings. I shot down a parrot in a spacesuit in a gun battle with space pirates, and won the tooth of a prehistoric octopus at an auction in the chaotic Klim galaxy..." She went on to describe her bizarre adventures.
"But I still can't be happy, Dr. Robot——" Jiang Ziyi's expression became a little disappointed.
"I often wonder if I am the only survivor of a planet explosion, so no matter where I go, I am just an alien wandering around."
"At least there's one place where it's not." Gu Zhi pointed at the flickering light next to the moon.
"After you left, the doctor didn't know when you would come back, nor did he know where you were going, so he built a star very close to the earth using the things you liked. He collected a lot of puppy pillows, horror discs, and fluffy carpets... This way, you might really come back, and when he misses you, he will know where to look in the starry sky."
The robot transmitted the coordinates of the stars to Jiang Ziyi's palm, and his last bit of power was about to run out.
"Good night, Miss Assistant. I hope you won't feel lonely anymore," Gu Zhi outlined her figure with his gradually dimming eyes, "You will always be the master of an entire planet and my entire universe."
Jiang Ziyi leaned over and gently kissed the side of his face.
: Aaaaaaaaa [groundhog screams]
: I also received royal support from the official blog!
: Screenwriter Du, you are really good at writing scripts...
: Ms. Du Xiaofang, you must be as eager to hold hands as your daughter is, right?
: Building a star for you who are wandering in space... This is so romantic...
: I have to say that Jiang Ziyi and Gu Zhi's acting is very good. With such a shabby scene and special effects, they managed to create the texture of a science fiction romance movie.
: It doesn’t feel like acting.
: Not acting +1
: The wife in the super topic was just about to start writing, but after seeing the easter egg, she realized that there was no need to continue writing
: Not as sweet as the real one
: Although this story seems magical at first glance, I feel that it is a metaphor for the relationship between two people in reality.
: An alien who keeps running away, can't find his home, and is always in a bad mood; a doctor who keeps waiting, trying to give his lover a sense of security, hoping that he will no longer be alone
: That’s right, all of them are right!
: Too much knocking, already in coma
: Woohoo, I hope God can give them a good ending [prayer]
Jiang Ziyi, yawning continuously, walked back to the bedroom holding on to the wall.
“I didn’t expect to be on a variety show and then have to film again,” she complained sleepily as she lay on her back on the tip of the heart-shaped mattress.
"I haven't dared to read the comments yet." Gu Zhi sighed as he spread out the quilt on the ground.
He has been very careful about his reputation since his debut and always selects scripts himself. The fact that he made snow sound like rain of bullets is definitely the biggest setback in his career.
Director Yu is still too advanced.
"Hey, why don't you sleep on the sofa?" Jiang Ziyi felt that the way he half-squatted beside the bed looked pitiful.
"The sofa is too narrow. I haven't slept well these days. If I turn over and fall down, I'll wake you up." Gu Zhi noticed her sympathy and immediately started to play the victim.
"Really?" Jiang Ziyi was skeptical.
"If I lie to you, I'll be a puppy." Gu Zhi turned his head and scraped his lower eyelid with his knuckles. "Look, my eyes are red from staying up all night." He approached his wife and said weakly.
"Why don't you come up and sleep?" Jiang Ziyi thought for a moment, "There are two quilts anyway."
"If you're worried, I can get the pillows from the cabinet and put them in the middle." Gu Zhi said quite consciously.
"No, no," the more he tried to avoid suspicion, the more guilty Jiang Ziyi felt, "you won't really force me to do anything." He might just use some clever means to seduce her, but she could still defend herself if she wanted to.
"Okay." Gu Zhi's fox tail shook briskly behind his back.
Just then, a loud noise was heard downstairs.
"What's going on?" Jiang Ziyi picked up her coat and was about to go out, and Gu Zhi quickly walked in front of her.
Luo Pan was standing at the stairs in his pajamas, his face pale and his left hand pressing on his forehead.
"Did Wang Zihe hit you?" Jiang Ziyi anxiously pulled her fingers away and found a fresh bruise on her forehead.
"No," Luo Pan denied subconsciously, "He didn't do it, I just... I just got accidentally hit by the hair dryer."
Jiang Ziyi couldn't help but pinch her philtrum again, and Gu Zhi patted her forearm soothingly.
"If I don't use my hands to hit him, I'm not allowed to use force?" Du Xiaofang rushed upstairs with a "bang bang bang". "Do you know how serious it would be if it hit the temple or the eye?...Where's Wang Zihe? Bring him here quickly!" She ordered her husband who came rushing over.
"Let's find a place to sit down first. I'll go get some ice." Gu Zhi followed Yu Huating downstairs.
"I'm fine, it's just a minor wound, it will be healed after some application of some medicine." Luo Pan sat down uncomfortably beside his bed.
"Isn't this the first time?" Jiang Ziyi asked sharply.
"..." Luo Pan didn't dare to look her in the eyes.
"Girl, this is domestic violence. We can't make a big deal out of a small matter. This time we were all here, but he didn't dare to kill him. What about next time? Your tolerance will only make him worse!" Du Xiaofang grabbed Luo Pan's hands and said seriously.
Gu Zhi led the doctor in and checked Luo Pan's wound.
"Fortunately it's just a skin injury. Apply ice for a while and then apply some iodine."
"I'm really fine..." Luo Pan repeated in a low voice.
"Wang Zihe has stopped recording, and the director team is trying to persuade him." Yu Huating reported the latest progress.
"Giving him face?" Du Xiaofang's neck turned red with anger. "Why are we still recording this? Just get a divorce! Find a lawyer and file a criminal lawsuit. We don't even have to wait for the cooling-off period!"
"Yes, this cannot be delayed," Jiang Ziyi took out his cell phone, "I know a few good female lawyers, you can also go directly to Xu Yanhui for help."
"It's just right that the injury assessment has been done now. There are surveillance cameras in the house, and several of us can testify." Gu Zhi frowned.
"Yeah, yeah." Yu Huating nodded wildly.
"But I don't want to divorce Zihe yet," Luo Pan was so anxious that her voice was filled with tears. "He's not a bad person, but he's a little impatient sometimes."
Jiang Ziyi and Du Xiaofang looked at each other.
"We'll talk to Luo Pan tonight, and you guys can find a place to sleep." Du Xiaofang said to the two men.
"Let's go to my room. The bed there is big enough for the three of us." Jiang Ziyi took Luo Pan out of the small double room.
