Chapter 176
In the living room of the Ye family, sunlight shines through the gauze curtains onto the fabric sofa covered with a sofa cover and a sofa towel. Shi Yun is sitting on the sofa, holding the remote control to turn down the volume of the TV, and then she looks up at her son's room while browsing her phone.
She heaved a sigh of relief when she found that there was not much noise. Then she looked up at her husband in reproach and whispered, "You haven't turned on the TV for 800 years, but you really remembered it today and insisted on creating some kind of atmosphere. What's the result? You, a hard of hearing person, turned up the volume very high when you watched the Spring Festival Gala last time, and you haven't turned it back yet. You almost woke up Xingxing."
Shi Yun cursed quietly, and Ye Zhiming huddled on the sofa and said aggrievedly: "I didn't remember it either. The last time I turned on the TV was half a year ago. And didn't I feel that Xingxing has been mysterious since he woke up?"
Speaking of this, Ye Zhiming felt somewhat justified.
"And he has been dragging his feet on getting a job all this time. If he doesn't have any problems, would he even want a job?"
Shi Yun found what he said made sense, and then she heard her husband speak mysteriously.
"…Do you think our son was caught driving under the influence? Or did he secretly get a tattoo?"
When Shi Yun heard this, she slapped her husband on the back.
"Let's hope for the best! He is allergic to alcohol and passes out after one glass of it, how could he be driving under the influence! And during the time he was in the hospital, doctors examined his entire body, and no one mentioned that he had a tattoo."
Shi Yun couldn't help but roll her eyes and said, "I noticed that as a father, you always think the worst of the stars. Is it an occupational disease that you can't change? Every time you come across so many weirdos, you think of those things on your son."
Finally, Shi Yun concluded with one sentence.
"I think you were hit on the head by that old man's cane the other day."
Ye Zhiming: You are so scared.jpg
After explaining to Shi Yun who Ye Wangxing learned his sharp tongue from, she shut up.
When Ye Zhiming saw that his wife had finally finished speaking, he did not get angry but just explained why he said that.
"But Xingxing has been acting really strange these past few days."
"What's wrong?" Shi Yun didn't take it seriously. "After being in a coma for five days, it's normal to be a little dazed when you wake up. Have you forgotten that the son of the Wang family next door fell on his head last year, and when he just woke up and the anesthetic effect hadn't worn off yet, he proposed to the old doctor. The 70-year-old doctor almost laughed out his dentures, but now he's still alive and kicking?"
"That's not it." Ye Zhiming shook his head and moved closer. "He hasn't even watched any short videos recently! He's either dozing in bed or typing on his phone every day. This is definitely not right!"
Ye Zhiming said with a serious expression.
"And his expression right now... is like he's in love! But what kind of person can a person talk about on the phone be? Less than one in a thousand online dating cases are successful, and most of them are just scams or even deceptions!"
Ye Zhiming was a little anxious. After all, he had just hung a red banner in the community saying that Mr. Li from a certain unit was defrauded of 1.38 million yuan through nude chatting.
"Don't worry. Our son has been with you for many years. He has seen countless cases of doing homework in your office when he was young. Moreover, he has always told us about any expenses over 1,000 yuan since he was young. Although he only told us after the fact, he is more strict with money than anyone else."
Shi Yun was quite confident about her son - how could a child who grew up in XX Service Center go astray?
...Of course the most important thing is that all his savings have been deposited by her in fixed deposits, and the child is definitely unwilling to withdraw them for the sake of the interest.
Ye Zhiming felt calmer when he thought about the environment his son had grown up in, and he also expressed his last concern.
"Actually, there's nothing wrong with dating, but I'm a little worried about the person he's dating..."
Ye Zhiming sighed and said.
"I'm really afraid that he is gay. Although he can live his life behind closed doors without being disturbed by others, if he has a job, he will still be troubled by the old people in the unit."
Ye Zhiming said with some worry on his face.
"It's just like dyeing your hair. If you're in the system, you'll be looked at differently. If you dye your hair in other places, it doesn't matter if you dye it in all kinds of colors. Stick to your own way. Your leaders will definitely not deliberately make things difficult for you. But you have to get over it mentally."
"Well, now we don't even know if our son is in a relationship. You've already raised the question of whether a homosexual will be discriminated against in the system."
Shi Yun interrupted the conversation swiftly, but her voice softened as she spoke to comfort Ye Zhiming.
"Even if he really likes men, or doesn't like anyone, it's still his day."
Ye Zhiming said helplessly: "You are quite open-minded."
"The current environment is not good, so we have to be open-minded. You have also received many children who jumped off buildings due to family disputes. Our son is already very good. It doesn't matter whether he has a boy or a girl, or not, as long as he can solve his own old-age care. Anyway, there is a national standard for intelligent elderly care robots, so at least we don't need to worry about his old-age care problem."
Shi Yun said in a relaxed tone.
The atmosphere also relaxed.
Just as the atmosphere had relaxed, the new smart food processor in the kitchen suddenly beeped: "It has been detected that there are insufficient eggs in the refrigerator, and an order for replenishment has been automatically placed."
"Oh, this machine is getting smarter and smarter." Shi Yun's eyes lit up and she changed the subject. "Yesterday it reminded me that 'the broccoli has been stored for three days, so it is recommended to eat it first'. Now this smart food processor has this function. Is it linked to our refrigerator?"
Ye Zhiming was also misled and exclaimed in amazement: "Our new floor-cleaning robot is even more amazing. Last time it got stuck under the sofa, it actually moved its robotic arms a few times and rescued itself. The small parts are so flexible, it doesn't look like a three thousand dollar robot at all. Chinese products are really impressive."
Just as Ye Zhiming and Shi Yun were lamenting that their robots were becoming more and more intelligent and saving them a lot of trouble, Ye Wangxing in the next room also heard what his parents said.
He looked at the response he had just received from the system company in his mind, listened to his parents' words, and looked at the handsome silver-haired man next to him and thought.
'Mom and Dad, at the moment it's probably not the domestic products that are doing well.'
Ye Wangxing looked at Yijiu using the computing power for other tasks to calculate the smart furniture in their home, and smiled with a feeling of embarrassment and amusement.
"It's your son-in-law who's trying to make you look good."
However, Ye Wangxing turned his head and shifted his attention back to the response he had just received.
After realizing that his relationship with an alien AI might violate national laws, Ye Wangxing obediently applied to the system company.
——Of course, the most important reason is that 19’s true form cannot be released in this world.
Because the system company has not reached a cooperation with his world, and 19's real body is considered an alien invader, it will do him no good to release it.
This also resulted in Ye Wangxing only being able to contact 19 within the system space, but...
Such a little contact is far from enough for young couples in the honeymoon period.
Besides, Ye Wangxing still wants to confront his parents.
So when he just woke up, he discussed this matter with Yijiu, and Yijiu quickly applied to the system company.
Although the system company responded a little slowly, it finally responded on the fifth day after he returned home.
And Ye Wangxing finally understood what the system company had done.
——The system company has contacted their country!
It is inconvenient to say more about the specific contact process and the agreement reached. Ye Wangxing only knows that their country and the system company have reached a talent introduction plan. As for how this talent was introduced without violating the laws of the universe, this is confidential. As for Ye Wangxing's identity.
"…Your country respects your desire to live a peaceful life and does not interfere, nor does it ask about your identity. Of course, they have also bought a lot of equipment from us to check whether the taskers violate the law. So for now, as long as you don't use our tools to violate the law, your peace will not be disturbed."
Ye Wangxing heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. This was what he was afraid of. After all, if he was the only one on the mission, if he didn't contribute to the country, his conscience and the education he received since childhood would go against his will. But if he contributed to the country, he would obviously have to part with his parents and contribute himself and Yijiu.
This again involves the question of whether there are bad people in the organization.
Now there is nothing to worry about. Let the big shots deal with their own affairs. Although some news will definitely be known, since the promise has been made, there must be a consensus among the people on this matter.
Moreover, he is now a buffer point for both sides. He will definitely not be used unless it is an emergency.
Now Ye Wangxing also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Host, are you relieved now?"
19 asked calmly, and Ye Wangxing nodded. Neither of them changed the way they addressed each other. After all, they were used to it, and besides...
Shouting this name at some special moments has a different flavor.
"Well, don't worry! For now, neither side will come to us. This is a good opportunity to confront our parents about this matter."
Ye Wangxing came up to Yijiu with a smile, and his fluffy hair bounced up and down on his head like puppy ears.
"After all, we have to let them know about this perfect son-in-law who is comparable to a house elf. You have been a great contributor to the family during this period."
Then Ye Wangxing said very seriously.
"But you really don't need to use your computing power like this in the future. Anyway, the house is so small. Even if you move to a new house, according to your ability, it would only take a second to design a program that can clean the house freely. You really don't need to do it yourself. If you can use tools, don't use yourself."
And after listening to Ye Wangxing's words, Yijiu said.
"But I just want to protect your family's safety as much as possible. After all, this society is not completely intelligent and there will be some safety risks."
Countless cases flashed across the holographic screen in front of Yijiu in an instant.
"Under this premise, I also want your family to live as comfortably as possible."
19's words reminded Ye Wangxing of the time when they first met. He spoke with a twitching mouth.
"——Yijiu, you didn't install surveillance cameras on my parents, did you?"
There was a trace of confusion on Yijiu's face, and then he shook his head, which made Ye Wangxing breathe a sigh of relief, and then he spoke in a joking tone.
"Are you so scared of meeting your parents? I've never seen you so nervous, Yijiu."
Ye Wangxing stood in front of Yijiu, bent down and spoke very closely.
There was little change in Yijiu's expression, but there was an inevitable hint of nervousness in his eyes.
"I'm not afraid, but I'm not a carbon-based creature after all. Is it a little hard for your family to accept?"
Seeing Yijiu's rare nervous look, Ye Wangxing stopped teasing and spoke soothingly.
"Don't worry, my parents are very good people. If they don't accept it, they will definitely tell me."
"...Host, this is exactly what I am worried about."
Yijiu said in a calm tone.
"I'm afraid your parents' disapproval will put pressure on you emotionally. I know how you feel about me, but I'm also worried that you'll feel sad about it."
As Yijiu spoke, he stretched out his big hand and skillfully put it around Ye Wangxing's shoulders, adjusted his position, and held him in his arms to sit down. His chest was pressed tightly against Ye Wangxing's back, and his warm body temperature was just right, which was Ye Wangxing's favorite temperature.
He placed his face next to his host's shoulder, his clear golden eyes filled with nervousness towards Ye Wangxing.
He said as he looked at the host whose face temperature had risen again.
"I don't want you to be sad."
Feeling that his rank was getting higher and higher, Ye Wangxing was a little overwhelmed: ...
"——The sooner you die, the sooner you will be reborn. Let's tell our parents this afternoon."
Ye Wangxing thought with firm eyes.
If Yijiu does this to him again, he really won't be able to bear it anymore!
"…So, you mean that the smart food processor in our house is my son-in-law?"
Shi Yun and Ye Zhiming sat on the sofa with their eyes wide open.
On the TV in front of them appeared a man with silver hair and golden eyes. He looked more handsome than any star on TV, and could even compete with the pinnacles of human modeling history.
If it was posted on a short video, when they saw this, they might click on it and marvel at the fact that human technology has advanced to this level, but now they just want to say.
"…I've thought about you being gay, I've thought about you being straight, I've even thought about you not having boyfriends or girlfriends."
Shi Yun said with a somewhat weak tone.
At first, when she learned that her son had been kidnapped and done a mission for several years before he was successfully resurrected, she almost cried. But before she could stop crying, she saw her son who had finally survived a disaster tell her happily that he was in love.
—The person she’s in love with is the smart food processor in her family that reminds her that the broccoli has been in the refrigerator for almost three days.
"…But I never thought that you would plan to date an intelligent food processor and sign a contract to sell yourself to her."
Shi Yun had said it very straightforwardly before, saying that she would support her son no matter what decision he made, and she really thought so, but...
Shi Yun looked at the well-organized smart appliances at home. She had felt happy about the scene before, but now she suddenly felt suffocated.
She didn't even want to ask why the country didn't come looking for him. It was something her son could handle on his own. She couldn't help anyway.
Just as Shi Yun fell on the sofa and pinched her philtrum, Ye Zhiming, who was standing beside her, looked at the sweeping robot at his feet with dim eyes.
——Now he knew where those two small parts came from.
"Mom, I've already told you that's not 19. 19 is just controlling them. His true form is a system, and he has a body. He just reached a cooperation agreement with our world, and the approval document hasn't come down yet. He can't just release his true form, otherwise it will be incompatible."
Ye Wangxing explained somewhat awkwardly.
"And 19 is very powerful. It used to be a system in the war zone. It is very powerful. It can control a galaxy for combat. It is not an ordinary smart appliance."
"Besides, I'm not too angry. After experiencing various worlds, my soul will be tempered and become stronger. After that, I will encounter more different worlds, and I will have more opportunities to live forever and become stronger. Who knows, maybe our family of three can all achieve cyber ascension in the future."
Ye Wangxing said this and made a joke to his parents, but they obviously didn't get the point.
When Shi Yun heard her son say this and looked at his determined expression, she finally sighed, waved her hand, and accepted her fate.
"Forget it, do whatever you want. It doesn't matter if you're in love with her. She wasn't raised by us anyway. Just remember not to break the law. By the way, do you still want your position? Will the higher-ups issue any documents?"
Shi Yun was talking in a nagging tone, but tears gradually appeared in Ye Wangxing's eyes.
19 on TV was also silently watching the warm scene in front of him.
He mainly observed the expression of his host and the emotions of his host's parents, and quietly canceled the emergency plan after confirming that they were not disgusted.
But just when he thought the matter was over, Ye Zhiming, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly moved.
"...In other words, your boyfriend is a very powerful intelligent system, right?"
Ye Zhiming said this with a serious face as if he was going to join the party.
Ye Wangxing nodded blankly, looking at his father, not knowing what he was going to do.
Then he heard his father ask very seriously.
"Can this thing you brought back blow up the moon?"
Ye Wangxing: “…”
"No, give up your dream of pressing the nuclear bomb button on the moon!"
Ye Wangxing said this in a decisive tone, then he looked at his own father and wanted to say something, so he quickly brought up another matter to divert his father's attention.
"Let's talk about the fact that I brought back a quarter ton of gold this time."
Ye Wangxing said quickly, and Ye Zhiming waved his hand as if to indicate that the matter was not important, but he stopped halfway through the wave...
"Why, it's only a quarter of a ton of gold—what?! A quarter of a ton of gold?"
Ye Zhiming suddenly jumped up from the sofa, and Shi Yun next to him almost fell off the sofa.
Fortunately, Ye Wangxing was quick to help them both back to the sofa.
"In fact, according to today's gold bar price, it is less than 200 million..."
Ye Wangxing thought with some regret. After experiencing the life of those wealthy people, he felt that this little money was indeed a bit inflated.
But Ye Wangxing has regrets, but his parents don’t.
Now it was Shi Yun's turn to stare at the ceiling - she was still calculating how big the money was.
After Ye Zhiming lay paralyzed on the sofa for a while, he jumped up directly from the sofa, held his son's hands, and asked seriously.
"——Son, does your company still need people?"
Ye Wangxing, who really just brought his own smart refrigerator to confront his parents: "..."
"ah?"
