Chapter 297 Machine (End)
Jiang Chan's life was forced to be filled with Nian Xingchen's figure.
During her time at school, Nian Xingchen stayed by her side all the time. Jiang Chan asked about Nian Xingchen's background, but the answers from both the teacher and the teaching assistant were ambiguous. They seemed to be too busy with work to remember this new student clearly. Even the home address in the file was false, not to mention the family members, which were obviously filled in randomly by the system.
Jiang Chan missed Yin Jia very much, but she had her own persistence. She couldn't understand why Yin Jia disguised himself as Nian Xingchen. Didn't he want to be her robot nanny anymore and live like an ordinary person?
But the key point is that he didn’t listen carefully even in class!
Putting aside the fact that he didn't need to attend classes, since he had forged a student's identity, he should have wanted to experience student life. However, the most he did every day was to serve her like he used to, closely watching her every move. If she pursed her lips, Nian Xingchen would instantly hold a glass of water and hand it to her...
Jiang Chan couldn't explain her feelings at the moment; they felt awkward. On the one hand, she wanted to be close to Yin Jia, but on the other, she felt abandoned because he refused to reveal his identity. She lowered her head, tidying up her desk, and said sullenly, "Don't follow me anymore."
Nian Xingchen: "The road is not safe. If any danger occurs, I am by your side and can protect you."
Jiang Chan clenched her fingers and said in a low voice: "It's really not necessary. My sister arranged a robot for me. I will be escorted by it every day from now on. I won't trouble you!" After uttering the last sentence in a relaxed manner, Jiang Chan turned and left.
There is a giant robot at the school gate.
The robot was modeled after Silver Armor, with a silver metal body and smooth curves. The difference between it and Silver Armor was probably that the robot looked dull. After it detected the target person—Jiang Chan—it spoke in an emotionless, mechanical voice mixed with a deliberately constructed tone of joy, "I've detected that you've come to my side. I will accompany you on your journey home. Please believe me, I am your most loyal friend."
Jiang Chan trotted in front of it, tilted her head slightly, and smiled affectionately, "Okay."
Nian Xingchen's eyes gradually turned dark, and the figure of the giant robot came into sight because of Jiang Chan.
The giant robot was on Jiang Chan's left hand side, with its silver metal arms bent and half folded around Jiang Chan's back. From a distance, it looked like it wanted to hold Jiang Chan in its arms. This was a very intimate behavior. The little master could actually walk with the robot so skillfully. The position next to the little master should be his, his!
His eyes grew darker and darker, with faint signs of fading. The dazzling red light seemed like sunlight breaking through the clouds, gradually emitting a fire that spread across the prairie.
He took a step forward, and perhaps because he was too angry, there was a crackling sound at the joints of his bones. He followed Jiang Chan closely, and his eyes fell on the robot next to him from time to time. The simulated blue veins bulged high, accompanied by the crackling sound of electric current, which almost caused the robot next to Jiang Chan to automatically enter defense mode.
——The autonomous defense mode will only be activated when danger is detected.
But strangely, the giant robot sensed the approaching danger, but it had no problem detecting Miss Jianxing's safety. It was a robot specially built to protect Miss Jianxing. If Miss Jianxing was not in danger, then she was safe.
Jiang Chan knew that Nian Xingchen was right behind her. She had lived with Yin Jia for a long time. Even though she did not have the robot's keen monitoring program, she knew that he was unhappy because of her familiarity with Yin Jia. Yes, Yin Jia had said a long time ago that he was the only robot by her side.
But that was in the past, wasn't it? It was Yin Jia who wanted to leave, and he didn't want to return to her. Isn't it normal for her to have a new robot? Thinking of this, Jiang Chan grew more and more confident. She clenched her palms tightly, her nails almost digging into her flesh. Suddenly, she grabbed the giant robot's arm.
The giant robot was taken by Jiang Chan to the nearest supermarket.
Nian Xingchen followed closely behind.
Jiang Chan had no desire to shop, but she didn't want to go home anytime soon. She picked up a few items and was about to continue walking when Nian Xingchen suddenly pushed aside the giant robot following her and said indifferently, "Why isn't it helping you?"
"...Ah?" Jiang Chan didn't react for a moment.
Nian Xingchen pointed at the thing in Jiang Chan's hand and said, "If you need it, please give it to me." He reached out and grabbed it regardless of Jiang Chan's wishes. Jiang Chan subconsciously handed it to him. Nian Xingchen, who took the shopping bag, seemed to have won a round. He glanced at the giant robot with a little pride, his voice still cold, "It's not up to standard. While you are shopping, it can only stand there stupidly. And its ability is not as good as mine. If you encounter danger, I believe I can protect you better than it..."
Jiang Chan lowered her eyes, "It's just an ordinary robot. It's enough for me to be able to accompany me home!"
Nian Xingchen was silent, his eyes dark, staring at Jiang Chan closely.
Jiang Chan felt very uncomfortable being stared at. It was a strange feeling, as if... she'd been caught in bed with someone else! She moved behind the giant robot, trying to block Nian Xingchen's overly oppressive gaze, but Nian Xingchen simply reached out to block her retreat. His tone was like the sky before a rainstorm, dark and heavy. "Do you like it very much?" The last word trembled slightly, filled with inexplicable panic and grievance.
Jiang Chan became nervous and pretended to be calm, "Yes, yes."
The hand blocking her suddenly grasped her wrist. The delicate skin still couldn't cover up the unique metallic texture emanating from the inside. Jiang Chan watched helplessly as veins popped up on Nian Xingchen's arm one by one. The blue veins completely simulated the appearance of the human body's meridians. His eyes were very red, red. She didn't know what program he used, but he looked like he was about to cry, with emotions surging in his eyes. Just as Jiang Chan frowned, his strength suddenly eased, and his cold voice trembled as he said, "You actually like it, a useless robot with no aesthetic sense! You shouldn't like it. It doesn't deserve to be by your side. It can't even talk to you. Why does it..."
"Nian Xingchen!" Jiang Chan raised her voice. Under his increasingly frantic gaze, she pulled her wrist away and said calmly, "We are just ordinary classmates. You have no right to interfere in my affairs."
Turning to the giant robot, he said, "Let's leave. You come home with me."
The giant robot replied: "Yes, I will be your most loyal friend."
Jiang Chan no longer looked at Nian Xingchen and disappeared from his sight without looking back.
The weather was bad when they went out and it looked like it was going to rain, so Jiang Chan bought an umbrella. It really started to rain halfway through the walk. She really liked walking, so she refused Ming Jianyue's suggestion of a car to pick her up. The giant robot walked beside her with an umbrella in hand, and a series of raindrops fell from the wide umbrella brim.
The gloomy and damp smell hitting the ground added to Jiang Chan's uneasiness. She raised her head slightly. Dark clouds gathered in the sky, as if she was suffering from the depression that could not be dispelled. The giant robot came close to her arm and put the umbrella over her head. Jiang Chan instinctively felt something was wrong and had a premonition that something bad was going to happen, but she still pretended to be calm and walked forward.
“Pah—”
“Pah—”
“Pah—”
Jiang Chan felt her limbs stiff and numb, and the familiar feeling of being watched fell on her again, as if she was being stared at by a poisonous insect. The cold feeling became even more gloomy and damp with the heavy rain.
Nian Xingchen followed closely behind, trampling the accumulated water without hesitation, making an oppressive sound like beating drums, and even a faint clicking sound of machinery reassembling. She had only heard this sound when Yin Jia was about to reassemble his body and launch an attack.
Wait, launch an attack?
Jiang Chan was stunned and her steps became a little stiff. Just as she was about to speed up, she suddenly heard a deafening cracking sound in her ears.
"boom--"
Jiang Chan froze completely, her scalp exploding.
She glanced sideways and saw a faint cry for help coming from the giant robot's mouth: "Detecting a dangerous attack, activating protection mode... Protection mode activation failed..." The half of its body away from Jiang Chan was broken, with metal fragments scattered all over the ground and smashed into the mud by the splashing rain. The exposed wires continued to make crackling sounds due to contact with the rain. The giant robot's program quickly became disordered and it crashed to the ground.
It turned into a pile of broken metal.
Nian Xingchen stood silently a few steps away, his dark eyes fixed on Jiang Chan, as if observing her subtle emotional changes. Just as Jiang Chan was about to be exposed to the rainstorm, he walked to her side and caught the umbrella that was about to fall to the ground. The black umbrella handle set off her pale and delicate skin like a carefully crafted work of art. His voice faded away and became the mechanical voice familiar to Jiang Chan:
"I told you, it's weak. It doesn't deserve to be by your side, let alone your favor. Please let me protect you. I am your most loyal friend, my little master."
Jiang Chan stood in the rain, pushing away his umbrella. Yin Jia's eyes were red as he coldly demanded, "It's very weak, it doesn't deserve to be by your side. There's no need for you to be sad because of it! Young Master, you promised me that you could only have me as your robot, and you broke your promise."
He held the umbrella and walked over to Jiang Chan. Jiang Chan's eyes were red, and she was obviously crying. But Yin Jia was in an even worse mood. He felt "heartbroken" and his mechanical bones were aching. He pleaded, "My young master, have you forgotten the oath you promised me? Please continue to abide by it. Please look at me again. I will do better than any robot. I will be the robot you are most satisfied with."
Jiang Chan pursed her lips. She didn't need the strongest silver armor, she just needed silver armor.
Just as Jiang Chan was wiping her tears, Yin Jia said, "I'll take you home." He didn't say any more nonsense, picked up Jiang Chan and left.
Jiang Chan was reluctant at first, but Yin Jia was so strong that she couldn't break free no matter what she did. When they reached the door guarded by the robot army, Yin Jia showed something, and the robot soldiers at the door didn't stop him. Yin Jia carried Jiang Chan back to her bedroom without any hindrance.
He carefully took off her shoes and put soft cotton slippers on her feet, caring for her meticulously, just like before.
Yin Jia automatically connected to the bedroom's electronic equipment. The sound of running water could be heard in the bathroom. Jiang Chan was led to the door by Yin Jia. She asked, "Who are you?"
Shining Armor said, "I am your most loyal friend."
Jiang Chan wanted to hold his arm like she used to, but Yin Jia was now a man. She scanned his body, finding no place to put her hand. So she pried open the bathroom door and asked again, "Who are you?"
Silver Armor: "...Young Master, I am Silver Armor."
Jiang Chan's cheeks puffed up slightly, "Why did you hide it from me?"
Jiang Chan's hair was a little damp. Yin Jia replied, "Yin Jia will tell you the truth. If you want to know anything, Yin Jia will tell you. For your health, please go to the bathroom and wash up first. I will wait for you at the door."
Jiang Chan hummed, and just as she was about to close the door, she suddenly remembered the strong feeling of being watched in recent days. She asked, "This is your first time entering my room. How do you know so much about the structure of my room? Yin Jia, did you do something secretly?"
Yin Jia's voice was still gentle and calm, but it was full of confidence. "Young Master, Yin Jia needs to ensure your safety. Yin Jia is not by your side and is very worried about you. I can remotely control the electronic equipment in your room, but don't worry, Yin Jia is very well behaved."
"...Oh." Jiang Chan didn't know what to say. Her feeling was right. It was really Yin Jia. Yin Jia had always been by her side.
Jiang Chan quickly finished washing up and was embraced by Yin Jia as she stepped out of the bathroom. Yin Jia's embrace was gentle, his chest soft and delicate, unlike metal. His arms were loosely clasped around Jiang Chan's back, and a mechanical voice, mixed with deep attachment and grievance, poured out, "Young Master, Yin Jia misses you very much. Yin Jia observes your daily life through the electronic screen, but Yin Jia cannot be by your side. Yin Jia really wants to hug you, are you willing? Will you hate Yin Jia?"
He's already been hugged, how could she refuse? Jiang Chan's eyes were sore. She pressed herself against Yin Jia's chest, smelling a carefully blended fruity fragrance. The touch was also as delicate as human skin. Jiang Chan asked, "Yin Jia, don't you like your previous body?"
Shining Armor: "Shining Armor loves the little master the most."
"Hmm?" Jiang Chan looked up in his arms, somewhat puzzled.
Yin Jia carried her to the bedside, his delicate face adjusted to an expression of grievance, and even his voice contained a low, flattering tone, "Yin Jia loves the little master the most. Yin Jia's previous body could not please you, so Yin Jia had to change."
Jiang Chan was slightly stunned.
Shining Armor: "I made the young master sad, but Shining Armor didn't mean it."
Yin Jia half-knelt before Jiang Chan, his dark eyes concealing intense affection. His tall figure prostrated before her like a believer, each word expressing his love. "When I woke up, I discovered I was about to possess a brand new body. However, I was afraid that appearing by your side as a robot, I would never receive your love, so I created a body for myself. My young master, Yin Jia didn't mean to hide this from you. Yin Jia hopes to meet and fall in love with you as a human..."
"Ginger Armor wishes to become the young master's companion."
Yin Jia slowly lowered his head, resting his cheek against Jiang Chan's palm. "It's me who lost control. I can't stand any robot around you, even a simple sweeping robot. Yin Jia can't stand it. I'm worried that one day they'll replace me by your side."
"My dear little master, please forgive me. Please forgive my meanness and jealousy. I hope that I will be the only robot by your side. You have already promised me. Have you forgotten?"
Jiang Chan bit her lip, "I haven't forgotten, but Silver Armor..."
Shining Armor: "Then do you still want me?"
His eyes revealed deep anticipation and pleading: "Yin Jia knows that I shouldn't force you to make any choice, but Yin Jia really likes you. Yin Jia really can't stand anyone of the opposite sex appearing around you..."
"If you hate Silver Armor, please destroy me! Although I can no longer guard you, protect your safety, and be your personal nanny, Silver Armor is afraid that when the day comes that the young master finds his lover, Silver Armor will do something to hurt him. So... please, young master, destroy Silver Armor!"
Jiang Chan had reason to suspect that Yin Jia said this on purpose, hoping to elicit her sympathy, but she had no concrete evidence. Yin Jia looked like he was about to cry. She didn't know what program he had programmed into this body, but his eyes had turned red. Furthermore, tears were welling up around them. Jiang Chan reached out and touched them, her fingertips moist. Yin Jia's trembling voice rang out again: "Yin Jia loves the little master the most. Yin Jia wants to stay with the little master forever, but Yin Jia respects all your decisions."
Jiang Chan: "...Yin Jia, I just need you to be by my side." She slowed down and added: "You can never leave."
Nian Xingchen disappeared from the school, and was replaced by the robot Yinjia who followed Jiang Chan closely.
Jiang Chan had spent most of the first ten years of her life in darkness, so when her eyesight recovered, she was very reluctant to stay in her room or waste time on the Internet. After getting Ming Jianyue's consent, Jiang Chan embarked on a journey accompanied by Yin Jia. She had never seen real mountains, seen the blue ocean, or felt the evening breeze of the mountains. There were too many landscapes she had not seen with her own eyes.
Before leaving, Yinjia went to Kun, who was now the king's husband, and together they created a mechanical body with absolutely destructive properties.
The robotic body is installed in the trunk of the modified RV and can change its shape at any time according to needs. Jiang Chan naturally prefers the familiar robot form, but Yin Jia prefers his human body. He feels that only in this way can he and the little master be of the same kind, and he is qualified to receive the little master's love.
During the journey, the question Jiang Chan asked most often was, "Yingjia, will you stay with me forever?"
The robot Silver Armor replied, "As long as my little master is happy, Silver Armor will always be with you." Occasionally, Silver Armor would respond with a hint of paranoia and possessiveness: "Of course, Silver Armor will always be with my little master. Silver Armor belongs only to my little master. Silver Armor longs for my little master to belong only to Silver Armor. If anyone else shows up, Silver Armor might lose control and attack it."
Jiang Chan always smiled and looked as if she didn't care, but in fact, she also felt the same possession for Yin Jia.
When she was very young, the appearance of Silver Armor was like a ray of warm sunshine, which was the hope and salvation that she never wanted to let go of once she grasped it.
