Lin Mingfei often wondered whether Xia Tong's ignorance was a good thing or a bad thing. Perhaps it did create many obstacles for his interpersonal communication, but it also more or less saved him from some troubles.
He held the little Omega's wrist and rubbed it gently, dissolving the warm ointment. He asked softly, "Does it still hurt?"
"A lot." Xia Tong said.
"Then I'm relieved." Lin Mingfei said, "You? If you're alone in the base from now on, don't open the door to strangers. Do you understand?"
"Um."
"We all have access cards, so we generally won't ask you to open the door."
"Um."
"so--"
"So could you please not just leave me alone in the base?" Xia Tong took the initiative and asked seriously.
Lin Mingfei stood there in a daze, actually stumped by the question. It took her a long time before she let out a soft "ah".
"What do you mean?" Xia Tong leaned forward a little, closer to Lin Mingfei, her delicate eyebrows raised slightly, and her thin, pink lips pouted, looking unhappy: "You don't know how bored I was staying alone in the base when you were away. How could you bear to see me so bored!"
Lin Mingfei frantically raised her hand to touch her nose, her ears turning red. The Alpha whispered, "I was wrong. I promise I won't do it again next time."
"That's good!" Xia Tong cheered up again, clapping her hands as if remembering something. "Oh, you? Didn't you go out and buy me milk tea? Where's the milk tea?"
Lin Mingfei: “!”
Oh, right... He received a call from Shi Ya on the way and rushed back in a hurry. Milk tea and other things were——
"Well... I thought about it later. Drinking milk tea at night is bad for your teeth and it can easily affect your sleep." Lin Mingfei coughed guiltily and spoke to Xia Tong in a serious tone.
"Ah..." Xia Tong revealed a disappointed expression: "I thought you sensed that I was in danger and rushed back to rescue me."
Lin Mingfei: “!!!”
"That...you? You're right, I was indeed worried about you? That's why I came back specially--" He opened his mouth and wanted to defend himself, but Xia Tong had already stood up aggrievedly.
"You? No need to explain. I'm not blaming you. I'm going back to sleep. Good night." The little Omega said with a forced smile, then walked back to the bedroom with a dejected look.
Lin Mingfei stood there in a daze for a moment, then slapped herself in the face.
Damn, how did he manage to perfectly avoid the correct answer!
Lin Mingfei returned to the bedroom with a heavy heart. After a quick wash, she received calls of condolence from Shi Ya and He Youjin one after another.
He simply recounted the whole incident that night. Shi Ya was so furious on the other end of the phone that she scolded Ping Shuai until he lost all his dignity. He Youjin remained serious throughout. After thinking calmly, he said that he would first come to see how badly Xia Tong was injured tomorrow, and then look through the code and settle accounts with Ping Shuai one by one.
After returning the call, Lin Mingfei lay in bed, staring at the ceiling for a long time, unable to sleep at all. Xia Tong's disappointed figure kept lingering in his mind, like a small thorn in his heart, making him feel uncomfortable.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was an utter fool, so he turned over and sat up in bed, opened the bedroom door and walked out.
He walked straight to Xia Tong's bedroom door as if on automatic navigation, and saw a little light leaking out from the crack of the door.
Xia Tong hasn't slept yet?
Lin Mingfei hesitated for a moment. Although she felt that this behavior was inappropriate rationally, she still leaned over involuntarily, put her ear to the door, and listened carefully.
He had sharp ears and eyes, and there was no one else in the base at the moment. It was silent, but through the thick door, he could vaguely hear some intermittent sobbing.
"Debang... wuwuwu..."
Debang?
Lin Mingfei's heart was slightly moved and she came back to her senses.
Yes... that black-hearted idiot who can't speak human language seemed to have been kicked to pieces by Ping Shuai before.
That was Xia Tong's only good friend who had been with her since she was little! How could Xia Tong not be sad after falling down like that and no one cared for her for a long time?
Lin Mingfei sighed in her heart and knocked on the door lightly with her fingers.
"Knock knock"
A moment later, the door was opened and the little Omega stood at the door, holding half of the pink robot's body in his arms. His eyes were as big as little peaches from crying, which instantly hurt Lin Mingfei's heart.
"Brother..." Xia Tong sniffed hard and burst into tears, "Debang is dead! Wuu ...
Lin Mingfei: "Dead, dead?"
Before he could finish his words, Xia Tong threw herself into his arms heartbrokenly, hugged his waist, and wiped her snot and tears onto his clothes.
"Debang is silent now. No matter how I call him, he ignores me. Charging is useless. Wuwuwuwu..."
"You? Don't cry, don't cry yet." Lin Mingfei lovingly pressed the back of his head with the palm of her hand and patted it gently, "Let me in first, and then slowly think of a way, okay? There will always be a way."
Xia Tong hugged him tightly as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw. After hearing the words, she raised her face and nodded vigorously: "Okay, brother, you must help me find a way, wuwu!"
Lin Mingfei laughed and thought to himself, what's the big deal? At worst, he could just send Debon back to their flagship store for repair. He still hadn't had the chance to use the membership card he had applied for before.
However, I did find a reasonable excuse to enter Xia Tong's bedroom...
Lin Mingfei calmly pushed the little Omega's shoulders and squeezed into the house.
There were a lot of spare parts scattered on Xia Tong's flannel mattress, which were all parts of Debang. Lin Mingfei vaguely remembered that when he left, Debang had not been dismantled like this... How could it be that in such a short period of time, even its original form was gone.
Xia Tong quickly explained everything to him tearfully.
"I wanted to fix Debang, but the more I tried, the more wrong it felt... The more I tried, the more wrong it felt, and it turned out like this, wuwuwuwu! It's my fault that Debang is in trouble, wuwuwuwu!"
Lin Mingfei looked at the "Debang" lying on the bed and listened to the little Omega's sad cry from the bottom of his heart. Somehow, she began to sympathize with Debang from the bottom of her heart.
"Brother, you know everything, right? Can you please help me save Debang?" The little Omega hugged Lin Mingfei's arm and shook it hard, begging pitifully.
Lin Mingfei: "Hmm..."
It's not impossible. After all, as an internet-addicted teenager who has been playing games for many years, he more or less understands the principles of these electronic devices. If ordinary electronic devices are broken or need to be assembled according to the instructions, he can still handle it. But isn't it too much to treat himself to stay up late at night and work hard to assemble such an artificial idiot who can't speak human language?
Lin Mingfei was torn between her conscience and her desires.
Xia Tong was still crying beside him: "Brother, please save Debang, I beg you? QAQ!! I can't live without Debang QAQ!!"
He begged me, he begged me like this... Alas. Lin Mingfei thought in frustration, who can resist Xia Tong's plea?
"Okay, I'll try." Lin Mingfei sighed and said.
Xia Tong was ecstatic, "Thank you, brother!! Brother, you are such a nice person, woooo!" He said while wiping his tears.
Lin Mingfei pouted and sat on the bed with Xia Tong. He sorted the parts, roughly categorizing them by shape. Then he used his phone to find some AI assembly tutorial online and began repairing the Debon.
Xia Tong stared intently from the side, not daring to breathe due to the nervousness, for fear that she would accidentally interfere with Lin Mingfei's movements and Debang would never be saved.
But in Lin Mingfei's opinion, the assembly process of Debang is not difficult. This artificial intelligence still uses the splicing mode of earlier generations. Once he connects several important components, the current line is connected and the small light bulb flashes.
Lin Mingfei screwed all the external parts back on, and later found that the main reason for the power outage at Debang was that a chip at a connection was broken. He thought about it and went back to his bedroom, dug out an old mobile phone that he didn't use much, took it apart, removed the outer shell, took out a chip of the same type inside, and replaced it with the one for Debang.
In this way, the entire repair process is almost completed, and all that remains is to put the Debang's flashy pink shell back together.
The Debon has a round head and a round brain. Even the hands are round, and the outer parts are all roughly the same size. It's already past three in the morning. Lin Mingfei yawned and felt really sleepy.
Due to Xia Tong's expectations, he forced himself to speed up and reassemble Debang. Seeing that the robot with a round head and brain was restored to its original state, Xia Tong couldn't help but feel happy, "Brother!! How can you be so awesome!! Ahhhh my Debang is back!!" As he said that, he dragged the power strip over from the side and couldn't wait to charge Debang.
Lin Mingfei was so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyelids. She fell directly onto Xia Tong's bed and said slowly, "You? See if he can still speak? I think there should be no problem."
"Okay!" Xia Tong shouted excitedly: "Debang! Debang, can you hear me? I'm Xia Tong! Debang, if you can hear me, just blink!"
Lin Mingfei turned over and lay on her side, supporting her head with one hand.
The LED light on the fan's little robot's head did not light up as promised.
Xia Tong's smile gradually disappeared.
"Debang! Debang, wake up!" He shouted anxiously, "You? Why don't you open your eyes? Debang!!"
After a pause, the little robot finally responded with a "quack".
"I'm here, Xia Tong."
Xia Tong let out a long "Huh!", tilted her head, and then fell down, resting her head on the bed. She stared at the flashing LED light between the two wheels on the lower half of the small robot: "Debang Debang! Why are your eyes down there?!"
The little robot seemed to be talking to people upside down, with a flat and numb voice.
"Because you put my butt and head on the wrong way."
Xia Tong's eyes suddenly widened, and she turned to look at Lin Mingfei in confusion.
Alpha's eyes were half-closed lazily at the moment, and there was no trace of surprise in his tone: "Yeah, I know." After a pause, he added in a very provocative manner: "I did it on purpose."
The author has something to say: Debang: I have a MMP——
