Chapter 108 Surprise ×2
The warm water rushed over my body, making me sigh in comfort, and slowly washed away the smell of alcohol and stickiness.
I was enjoying my shower when I heard a soft click from the bathroom door.
I turned around suddenly and my heart almost jumped out of my throat - Lin Yan was actually leaning against the door frame!
I don't know when he woke up (or maybe he didn't fall asleep at all), his shirt was mostly unbuttoned, revealing his strong chest, his hair was messy, and although his eyes were still a little drunk, they contained a dangerous, seductive and aggressive look, and he stared straight at me.
My face suddenly turned red, and my voice changed: "Hey! Why...why are you up?! Why aren't you lying down properly?"
He chuckled softly, his voice becoming even more hoarse and sexy due to his drunkenness, and walked step by step into the steamy bathroom: "Because I just... seemed to hear someone complaining about me... saying that I have the will but not the ability?"
Drops of water slid down his well-defined abdominal muscles.
My heart was pounding, and I stepped back subconsciously, "Fuck... weren't you drunk? Why are you awake?"
"Hmm... the hangover soup seems to have helped a bit... or rather," he approached me, his eyes unabashedly moving over my naked body with a burning intensity, "I was half awakened by some little scoundrel questioning my 'ability'."
He reached out and touched the side of my waist, "So...should we...continue with our 'surprise' plan that was interrupted tonight?"
……harmonious……
The result of our excessive fooling around was that neither of us could get up as planned the next day.
The sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains onto my butt. I was still lying on the bed, my eyelids feeling heavy as if they were filled with lead.
Turning my head, I saw that the culprit Lin Yan was also not awake, which was rare. His breathing was steady, his sleeping face was peaceful, and his long eyelashes cast a small shadow under his eyes. He looked quite decent, and there was no trace of the fierce and cruel look he had last night, as if he wanted to eat me alive.
Humph, it’s probably the alcohol and... cough, overwork.
We had planned everything well to visit that super famous museum in the morning and had booked the tickets in advance.
Now it's all gone to waste.
I sighed resignedly, reached for my phone on the bedside table, and prepared to check the news to kill time while waiting for some sleeping beauty to wake up naturally.
Sure enough, as soon as I unlocked the screen, I was bombarded with WeChat messages from Fang Qing, with the screen full of exclamation marks and accusations.
The gist of it was that Senior Brother Gu was becoming more and more "excessive". In the name of the project, he was tied to her almost 24 hours a day. Everyone in the lab assumed they were a couple and started teasing them. But Senior Brother Gu himself remained silent, neither admitting nor denying it, leaving her feeling confused and very anxious.
I couldn't help but laugh out loud, and my fingers quickly typed a reply: "Isn't this good? The public's eyes are sharp. What's the difference between you two and having a relationship?"
As soon as the message was sent, the person next to him moved.
Lin Yan was awakened by the rustling sound of my typing and low laughter. Before he fully opened his eyes, his arms habitually wrapped around me and pulled me into his arms, taking my phone away accurately and throwing it aside.
"Well... Ruirui, you're laughing so happily so early in the morning..." His voice was hoarse and lazy, as if he had just woken up. His chin rubbed against my neck, and his tone was a little aggrieved and accusatory. "You don't respect me at all... You don't even look at me more."
I raised my eyebrows and thought, come on, this guy is sober now, but his love brain (and jealousy) haven't subsided at all.
"How did I disrespect you?" I teased him on purpose.
"You just slept with me yesterday..." He leaned close to my ear, lowered his voice, and his warm breath tickled my ear. "As soon as I opened my eyes today, you were chatting happily with another woman..."
The tone was like that of a neglected and betrayed young wife.
I was so amused by his ability to turn the tables that I turned over and pretended to ride on him, then I put my hands around his neck (not hard): "How dare you bring up yesterday! I haven't even settled the score with you yet! Who told you to drink so much! And... and still be so crazy!"
Thinking of some fragments of last night, my face started to get hot again.
Lin Yan wasn't afraid at all. Instead, he smiled and raised his head, kissed my hand that was pinching his neck, and looked at me ingratiatingly: "Honey, I was wrong... I won't dare to do it next time. Isn't it all for work and for our future? Your husband will do big things in the future, and social engagements are inevitable..."
I pouted. I understood in my heart, but I couldn't help but feel distressed and a little scared. "What's the big deal? As long as I can eat my fill, that's enough! I don't want you to come home drunk every day."
"Okay, okay,"
Lin Yan nodded obediently and hugged me back to comfort me. "When I get back, I'll quickly recruit a few reliable employees and straighten out the business lines. From now on, I'll let the people below me handle these kinds of social events. I'll spend more time with my wife, okay?"
"That's better..." I hummed and reluctantly let him go.
"But then again, baby..."
He suddenly turned over, easily switching our positions, pressing me underneath him, his eyes becoming dark. "Are you suggesting with this posture... that I want another morning workout?"
He also pushed it on purpose.
"Hey! Lin Yan!" I instantly got furious and used my hands and feet to push him away. "Get out of the way! I'm hungry! I need to eat!"
Lin Yan laughed softly as I pushed him away. He didn't insist anymore, but he still looked at me with sticky eyes: "Okay, okay, let's eat first and replenish our energy..."
"Get out!" I grabbed the pillow and threw it at him.
After a long and dawdling brunch (or was it afternoon tea?), we finally went to the museum in the afternoon.
I walked around absentmindedly, but my mind was still thinking about the "surprise" that Lin Yan mentioned in the evening.
I finally made it to the evening and found the company according to the address.
The reception desk was very grand. After the lady at the front desk politely confirmed our appointment, a manager-looking person quickly came out and enthusiastically led us to a place similar to a product showroom.
The exhibition hall is brightly lit, and displays robots of various shapes.
The manager walked over to a display case covered with velvet and said to us with a smile, "Mr. Lin, Mr. Chen, this is a custom piece based on the concept drawing and requirements you provided."
As he spoke, he gently pulled open the velvet.
When the full image of the robot came into view, my eyes widened instantly and I held my breath!
This... this is not...
The smooth silver-gray body, the slightly angular head design, the familiar energy indicator light on the chest, and the iconic structure on the arms... This is clearly the auxiliary robot in my favorite single-player game that I have played countless times!
It's the one that only exists in fantasy!
"No... Lin Yan... this..." I was so shocked that I was incoherent. I pointed at the robot and looked at Lin Yan, "How was this thing... made?!"
It’s like walking directly from the second dimension into the third dimension!
Lin Yan looked at my stunned expression and smiled very proudly. He took my hand and brought me closer: "Baby, don't be anxious yet. It will be more interesting after it is turned on."
He gestured to the manager.
The manager nodded and clicked somewhere behind the robot.
A slight startup sound was heard, and the indicator light on the robot's chest lit up with a soft blue light.
The display-like area on its head flickered a few times, and a simple smiley-face emoticon appeared.
Then, a mechanical sound with a bit of electronic synthesis, but unexpectedly a little cute, sounded:
"Hello, Master. It's a pleasure to serve you."
My palms were sweating with excitement, and my heart was pounding. Cautiously and tentatively, I took a step closer and said to it, "Hello?"
The robot's "head" turned slightly towards me, and the smiling face on the display screen turned into a blinking animation: "The owner's voiceprint characteristics have been recorded. Activating the exclusive customized mode 'Rui Rui's Partner'."
Then, it began to recite many classic lines of the robot in the game one after another in that electronic voice!
Although the sound is electronic, the tone and rhythm are imitated perfectly!
"This... this... this is too amazing!" I grabbed Lin Yan's arm excitedly, speaking incoherently, "How could it... Oh my God!"
Lin Yan put his arm around my shoulders and explained with a smile, "This company specializes in high-end custom robots. Their technology and craftsmanship are first-rate, but the number of places available is very limited, and the review process is very strict. Last time I was on a business trip, I rushed to see their president. After much persuasion and providing detailed design concepts and game materials, he finally agreed and approved this custom place for me."
It turns out that he was in a hurry that day because of this!
I was still in shock when the robot suddenly spoke again. It flexed its neck and a heart emoticon appeared on the screen: "The owner's emotional level is detected to be extremely high! Shouldn't you thank your loved one?"
I burst out laughing, my heart filled with great happiness and emotion.
I turned around, stood on tiptoe, hugged Lin Yan's neck tightly, and gave him a loud kiss on the face: "Thank you, husband! I like it so much! Really!"
He didn't even care about the manager and the smirking receptionist next to him.
Lin Yan hugged me back, smiling so hard that his teeth were showing.
Of course, such a big thing cannot be carried away directly.
We left the company only after completing the tedious shipping procedures.
On the way back, I was still immersed in a huge sense of unreality. I held Lin Yan's hand and murmured to myself: "This surprise... I really... like it so much..."
“When I first learned about this company, I thought you would like it.”
Lin Yan held my hand tightly, his tone gentle and satisfied.
As I was walking, I suddenly remembered something, stopped abruptly, and pulled Lin Yan: "Lin Yan! Quick! Let's go back to the hotel!"
"Hmm?" Lin Yan raised his eyebrows and approached me with a wicked smile, "Are you thinking of 'repaying' me so soon? My wife is so enthusiastic, I'm a little flattered..."
His hands became restless.
"No!" I blushed and slapped his paw away, looking at him with sparkling eyes. "I wanted to... show you my surprise for you! My birthday present!"
