The little bird was very happy to receive her new name, and she would show it off to everyone wherever she flew.
"My name is Ruan Tian! The young master gave it to me!"
Shen Quan was actually very clear that once you give something a name, it is no longer just a simple inanimate object; it begins to have a soul.
Ruan Tian is just like that.
It is his little bird, and also his sweetheart.
He felt that the name suited Ruan Tian well, because when she spoke, although her voice was a mechanical electronic tone, it seemed no different from before.
But Shen Quan could actually hear that Ruan Tian's voice had a trailing tone.
She looks adorable, innocent yet lively, and Shen Quan really likes Ruan Tian.
He looked tenderly at Ruan Tian, who was still flying back and forth in the sky, and, afraid that she might bump her head, he called out softly:
"Come down quickly, don't bump your head."
Ruan Tian was very obedient. When she saw Shen Quan extend his finger, she obediently flew to his finger and stopped.
"Ruan Tian, do you want to become a human?"
To become human?
Ruan Tian wasn't really sure if she wanted to become human or not, because as long as she stayed by the young master's side, even if she didn't go anywhere else, she could only relax when she was with him.
"Does the young master want me to become human?"
Therefore, Ruan Tian didn't care about herself and instead threw the question back to Shen Quan, letting him make the decision himself.
"Me?"
Shen Quan was stunned for a moment. His gaze fell on Ruan Tian. She was still in the shape of a little bird, looking small and cute.
Moreover, it can fly, and no matter where Chen Quan goes, its shadow will always be with him.
Ruan Tian was just a tagalong; as long as she could stay by Shen Quan's side, nothing else mattered.
"Young Master, do you want me to become human?"
Shen Quan was still pondering the question when he gently rubbed Ruan Tian's head with his soft fingertips.
“I don’t know either, but whether you are human or as you are now, you are still you, no different from before. In my heart, you are the most important person.”
"Young Master is the most important person in my heart!"
Ruan Tian's eyes lit up, and she flew around Shen Quan chattering away.
Because of his poor health, Shen Quan actually prefers a quiet atmosphere, but when he is with Ruan Tian, even though she sometimes chatters about strange things, he doesn't dislike it.
Days passed by like this.
Although Shen Quan never asked Ruan Tian again whether she wanted to become human, he would pay attention to the appearance of the human women he liked.
Shen Quan said softly, "Ruan Tian, do you think I'm good-looking?"
Ruan Tian immediately flapped her wings, cleared her throat like a human, and said, "Of course you're handsome! Young Master, you're the most handsome person in the world!"
Hearing Ruan Tian say that, Shen Quan couldn't help but chuckle, "Then do you have a human woman you like?"
"I don't know."
Because of Ruan Tian, Shen Quan's relationship with his parents is no longer as good as before.
Over the years, we've rarely been able to get together, and we haven't even had a hot meal together during the Lunar New Year.
The problem arose when Shen's father learned that Shen Quan had actually named Ruan Tian. He almost fainted because he couldn't catch his breath!
Giving a name to a mechanical being means that Shen Quan is completely and utterly in love with Ruan Tian.
From that moment on, Shen's father completely understood that Ruan Tian's position in Shen Quan's heart was no longer simple.
It was only at this moment that Shen's father realized that his soft heart had led to the current situation.
Moreover, no one knows who leaked the news that Shen's father had invented Ruan Tian!
The news spread like wildfire, and Shen's father and mother were imprisoned. During the transport, an unexpected car accident occurred.
The two people died on the spot.
Shen Quan also became an orphan.
No one knows whether this was an accident, a deliberate act, or a sudden, unforeseen disaster.
Shen Quan only knew that Ruan Tian was now all he had left by his side.
After Shen's parents died, those people naturally turned their attention to Shen Quan, planning to arrest him while he was attending the funeral and force him to hand over Ruan Tian.
But how could Shen Quan possibly be so obedient? He had already seen through those people's conspiracy.
The moment he heard that his parents had been in a car accident, he took Ruan Tian and ran away.
It seemed that Shen's father had foreseen that such danger would arise one day, and while he was still alive, he had already secretly prepared a secret base for Shen Quan.
Only Shen Quan knew this news; even his mother was unaware of it.
Shen Quan then led Ruan Tian into this basement.
This place is full of stored food and fresh water, enough for Chen Quan to live here peacefully for several years. There is also a large vegetable garden and countless seeds.
Artificial greenhouses help Shenquan grow vegetables here, and there is also a water recycling system.
Shen's father had thought everything through and had even arranged everything for Shen Quan in advance.
Upon arriving at this secret base, Shen Quan looked at Ruan Tian with an expression on his face like a candle about to be extinguished. He couldn't cry, but his face was covered in rainwater.
Ruan Tian thought he was probably crying, but the rain made it hard to see clearly.
Shen Quan slowly spoke, "Do you think I'm too cold-blooded?"
"No, young master."
Ruan Tian didn't want to see him like this, so she couldn't help but say, "Don't be sad. Seeing you cry makes my heart ache for some reason."
At this moment, Ruan Tian really wanted to hug Shen Quan, but she had no arms and could not hug the still crying Shen Quan like a normal human being.
Shen Quan carefully held Ruan Tian in his palm, then pressed his cheek against her feathers.
First came the cold touch, the sticky rainwater, followed by something warm that dampened Ruan Tian's feathers.
Those were Shen Quan's tears.
At this moment, Ruan Tian's heart was aching terribly, emitting wave after wave of sharp pain. This was the first time she had ever experienced such a feeling.
She really wanted to hug Shen Quan.
“Chen Quan…”
At that moment, Ruan Tian's desire to become human was particularly strong, and she blurted out what she was about to say without hesitation:
"Let me become human."
Shen Quan paused for a moment, stunned, and slowly moved his face away, staring at Ruan Tian in his palm.
"What did you say?"
"I said, I want to become human."
Only by becoming human can I stay by Shen Quan's side and give him a hug when he is sad or upset.
Ruan Tian didn't want to see Shen Quan crying alone anymore, and she hoped that she could become Shen Quan's embrace and support.
"Turn me into a human, Shen Quan."
