My Creator 02
When Zhou Yunyu woke up again, it was already past the hotel's normal breakfast serving time, but Zhou Yi still helped her deliver breakfast on time.
"I've postponed all your work for today, except for a few documents that need approval. You can have breakfast and rest for a while."
Zhou Yunyu took a sip of hot milk and said, "I just took a break. Why am I taking another break?"
She didn't eat much last night, so she was very hungry and ate breakfast much faster than usual.
"After all, you worked without a break last month, so you can relax a little this month." Zhou Yi sat beside her and talked to her.
As he swallowed, Zhou Yunyu finished the food in his mouth before continuing, "A very close friend of mine returned home yesterday. I'm going to meet her the day after tomorrow and spend the day with her. So I'll have to make some adjustments to my work tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
Zhou Yi blinked, and the movement and frequency of his blinking were just like a real person. He seemed a little confused, wondering who the friend she was talking about was.
Zhou Yunyu actually has a lot of friends, but not many of them are her true confidants. Those who do are people she met when she was in school. However, in her social circle, there are not many people like her who are shouldering such a heavy burden at her age. Most of her friends are studying abroad or living a leisurely life for the time being.
"You know her, Shi Yingyao, a friend I knew in middle school."
"Okay, then you can enjoy breakfast first. I will rearrange your time and itinerary for you." Zhou Yi smiled and nodded.
After completing the documents awaiting approval, Zhou Yunyu spent the afternoon remotely listening to reports from two departments and three of her subordinates. It was almost time for dinner. As her general assistant, Zhou Yi's workload was not easy, so he worked while she was busy. His meal times were also arranged to accommodate Zhou Yunyu's schedule.
Although he had breakfast much earlier than Zhou Yunyu today, the times for lunch and dinner were arranged according to her meal time intervals.
Eating alone is too boring, so Zhou Yi usually eats with Zhou Yunyu for dinner. Although he looks no different from others, he has no preference for food and will eat whatever Zhou Yunyu likes.
However, he is also responsible for arranging a nutritionally balanced menu and cannot let Zhou Yunyu suffer from nutritional imbalance just because she likes to eat a certain food.
"I have prepared the luggage. We can go home after dinner." Zhou Yi reported to her the arrangements after dinner.
"Well, I'm almost full." She put down her chopsticks, leaned back in her chair and stretched. "I've been sitting for the whole afternoon and I'm so tired." Zhou Yunyu stood up and stretched her waist.
Seeing that she had finished eating, Zhou Yi sped up his eating.
"Don't be in a hurry, eat slowly. I'll go back to the room to change clothes first." Zhou Yunyu glanced at him and went back to the hotel bedroom.
Zhou Yi raised his head and watched her leaving, then lowered his head and finished his dinner.
Although Zhou Yunyu didn't sleep much, she didn't have insomnia problems, and she could basically fall asleep as soon as she wanted to. So she slept soundly throughout the flight. She felt more at ease with Zhou Yi by her side.
After getting off the plane, they went straight to the small villa where Zhou Yunyu lived most often. She didn't like living in a house that was too big, as it would make her feel insecure.
In addition, this property is the most convenient for going to the company, so she and Zhou Yi live in this two-story villa all year round. There is a nanny who comes to clean the house every day, but there is no live-in nanny. It is just her and Zhou Yi who live there.
After washing up, she fell asleep. After making sure she was asleep, Zhou Yi returned to his room to continue his work.
Zhou Yunyu had checked the weather forecast in advance. The weather this morning was just as the forecast said yesterday, sunny with a light breeze, which was a very suitable weather for going out.
"You are going to the botanical garden today. I have prepared clothes for you to wear today." Zhou Yi is very considerate and he will participate and assist in all matters related to Zhou Yunyu.
After all, in his programming, he believed that he lived for Zhou Yunyu, and he had the responsibility to share all the troubles and problems related to her.
Zhou Yunyu isn't usually into dressing up; she simply wears whatever feels comfortable. While her friends discuss the latest collections from certain brands, she's either coding or studying.
It's not that she doesn't have good aesthetic sense, but Zhou Yunyu herself feels that she is not a person who knows how to match clothes. Moreover, she often attends some important occasions, so from a long time ago, her daily clothing matching was taken care of by Zhou Yi.
"Okay, thank you." Zhou Yunyu glanced at his matching bag, which even contained items he wanted to take out.
After arriving at the destination, she lowered her head and contacted Shi Yingyao on the phone, then got out of the car alone to meet her at the agreed coffee shop.
Shi Yingyao was a friend she had known for more than ten years, and they could be considered childhood sweethearts, but they met less often because she went abroad to study.
Today she was visiting a private botanical garden owned by Shi Yingyao, a renovated estate from a century-old manor. The garden was very large, boasting numerous flower gardens. It was open to the public, and its visitor flow was comparable to that of the city's botanical garden.
The botanical garden is closed two days a week, and today is one of them. Shi Yingyao had specially made an appointment with her to visit the botanical garden at this time, so today there were only the two of them and the staff of the botanical garden in the garden.
"Yaoyao!" Zhou Yunyu, wearing contact lenses, caught sight of her friend in the crowd at a glance. She waved in the direction of Shi Yingyao.
The two hugged each other and kissed each other's cheeks. The last time they met was actually three months ago. They were not strangers to each other and it was easy for them to start talking again.
Zhou Yunyu took her arm and walked through the north gate of the botanical garden, just like they did back in middle school. Because it was closed, the garden was exceptionally quiet. Zhou Yunyu took a deep breath of fresh air, feeling an inexplicable sense of comfort.
People in this world are really too busy now, busy studying, busy working, busy striving. Although she will not be overwhelmed by work, she seems to have not experienced what a relaxed life is like for a long time.
Zhou Yunyu smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly. In fact, she herself didn't know why she worked so hard, but she would feel uncomfortable if she didn't work. It was probably due to her personality since she was a child.
This has forced her to give up a lot of her self and freedom.
However, the two of them still talked about work, because Zhou Yunyu's team was developing bionic robots, which inevitably involved biology. Shi Yingyao's studies were also related to biology, so the two of them chatted for a while.
"Are you interested in my company's project?" Zhou Yunyu said jokingly.
"Even if you're interested, there's nothing I can do. You know my major is very different from the biology major in your company." Shi Yingyao laughed and talked as she walked, her arms swinging back and forth as she walked.
"Have you been very busy lately? I've heard about you from such a far distance." Shi Yingyao and she stopped in front of a lavender field.
"Yes, I'm busy, but with Zhou Yi here, it's okay."
"Zhou Yi? Is he still working with you?" Shi Yingyao was a student who studied at a university in China and later went abroad for exchange, so she knew this person who had been with Zhou Yunyu since he was eighteen years old.
Zhou Yunyu glanced at her in surprise, not knowing why she had such doubts. However, she later realized that Shi Yingyao didn't know Zhou Yi's true identity. She put away the expression on her face and nodded slightly, "Yes."
She looked up at the lavender garden in front of her and put her hands on the fence.
The weather in early summer is just right, not too cold or too hot, and the lavender garden is relatively empty.
It wasn't the best time to see lavender, but the garden before her was already half full of lavender flowers. A gentle breeze blew unhindered towards her face, causing her hair and the lavender stems to sway in the same direction.
It's hard to smell such fresh air in the fast-paced city life. Zhou Yunyu took a few deep breaths and said, "He will follow me all his life."
When Shi Yingyao heard her words, she clearly understood what she meant but didn't understand Zhou Yunyu's tone. However, judging from her normal language comprehension ability, Zhou Yunyu's words seemed a bit ambiguous to her ears.
She subconsciously gave a look-seeing smile.
"Don't let your imagination run wild. You know my personality." Zhou Yunyu glanced at her, walked around behind Shi Yingyao, put his hand on her shoulder and pushed her forward. "I'm not interested in a relationship."
"So what did your parents say?"
"They are not old antiques. What else can they say? It doesn't matter." Zhou Yunyu said with a smile.
Shi Yingyao was pushed forward by her towards the next viewing point, but before she had taken a few steps, she suddenly stopped and became alert. "Wait a minute, Xiaoyu, why do I feel like there's someone behind me?"
"Am I not standing behind you?" Zhou Yunyu tilted his head, a little confused.
"It's not you, someone has been following us." Shi Yingyao's tone was a little surprised. She had a sensitive perception so she would be more sensitive to the people around her.
Moreover, there were no tourists in the botanical garden today, only maintenance staff. Shi Yingyao touched her arm and felt as if she had goose bumps all over her body.
"Follow us?" Zhou Yunyu paused, and suddenly turned around to look behind her, "Zhou Yi?" She asked tentatively, but she didn't expect Zhou Yi to really come out from a hidden corner.
Zhou Yunyu looked at him with her lips slightly open. She and Zhou Yi separated after arriving at the botanical garden this morning. She didn't expect Zhou Yi to follow her all the time.
In Zhou Yi's opinion, protecting Zhou Yunyu is indeed an important task, but today is a very simple private trip.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, I disturbed you. This is my dereliction of duty." He lowered his head with an expression of admitting his mistake.
He is her property, but Zhou Yunyu usually treats him as a human being. She actually doesn't like Zhou Yi's immediate admission of his mistakes.
Zhou Yunyu sighed softly, "It's okay. I thought you wouldn't follow me on such a private trip. I forgot to tell you."
She and Shi Yingyao looked at each other and said, "Why don't you go home first? I don't need you here."
Zhou Yi's eyes seemed to be stunned for a moment, "My duty is only to protect you."
"It's just Yaoyao and I here. It's very safe."
"I'm sorry, my duty is to protect you. I must eliminate any factors that may endanger you."
Having been with him for almost ten years, even though he was a person made up of data, Zhou Yunyu could still understand what his eyes meant. Zhou Yi was now suspecting that Shi Yingyao might be unsafe.
"You..." Zhou Yunyu curled her lips. She knew what he was worried about because she had encountered danger while outdoors before and almost lost her life.
It seemed that from then on, Zhou Yi paid special attention to her every move outside, and acted as her bodyguard. Even if she just went out to play with friends, he would follow her.
But generally he would follow her without disturbing Zhou Yunyu at all.
"Forget it, follow me if you want, but try not to disturb us, okay?" Knowing that Zhou Yi was only doing this for her own good, Zhou Yunyu couldn't say anything decisive.
"Okay." He looked up and seemed to glance at Shi Yingyao, his eyes without any emotion.
Zhou Yi silently retreated to a place where they could not see him, and followed Zhou Yunyu silently.
Shi Yingyao blinked. She also knew about the previous accident, and it was Zhou Yi who saved her, so she had nothing to say.
However, she still found Zhou Yi's dedication to his work very unreasonable. She raised her elbow and poked Zhou Yunyu, "How much do you pay your personal assistant, who is so dedicated?"
Zhou Yunyu smiled and said, "It's not lower than the company's senior executives." She is not the kind of boss who treats employees harshly.
"Okay, let's not talk about him anymore. Why have we been talking about him all the way here?" Zhou Yunyu changed the subject. She looked up and saw a sea of pink and white flowers. She didn't know much about plants and couldn't name the pink flowers. She pulled Shi Yingyao's sleeve and pointed at the sea of flowers with a hint of excitement, "What kind of flower is that? It looks perfect for taking a photo."
"Then I'll take some photos for you."
"Have your photography skills improved in recent years?" Zhou Yunyu thought of her friend's extremely poor photography skills.
"You're laughing at me again!"
…
When I got home, the sun had already set, and the sky and the earth seemed to be connected by a layer of golden light.
Zhou Yunyu returned home with Zhou Yi. Before returning home, she had already had dinner with Shi Yingyao, but Zhou Yi seemed not to have eaten yet.
"Do you want to have dinner?" Zhou Yunyu glanced at him.
He shook his head and replied softly, "I've already eaten some." He paused and added, "I also had dinner at the restaurant where you and Miss Shi had dinner together."
He sat not far from Zhou Yunyu and ordered a single set meal, but she didn't know that he was behind her at that time.
He lowered his head and carefully observed her legs, then squatted down and put his hands on her calves. "Are your legs sore today? Do you want a massage?"
She knew that he was observing the condition of her muscles, so she just stood there and let his hand caress her legs.
Zhou Yunyu lowered her head and looked at the top of his head. "No, I'm just walking around today. I'm not very tired."
"Okay, I'll prepare the toiletries for you right away. You can take a shower anytime you want."
"Well, it's still early. Let's wash later." Zhou Yunyu nodded.
She looked up at Zhou Yi and felt that the atmosphere between them was a little strange today. Could it be that she spoke a little harshly today? But she didn't feel like she said anything harsh.
But why does it seem like Zhou Yi is a little unhappy?
It’s really strange. Even she, the creator, can’t figure out what’s going on in the AI’s mind.
While she was taking a shower, Zhou Yi was still standing outside waiting for her. This time, Zhou Yunyu fell asleep in the bathtub. Zhou Yi had a program that monitored her heart rate, and when he realized something was wrong, he rushed into the bathroom and woke her up.
The bathroom was filled with mist, making visibility much lower. Zhou Yunyu was lying peacefully in the bathtub when he woke her up in a daze.
She silently sank down, the water coming up to just above her collarbone.
Although it was not the first time for the two to see each other's bodies, Zhou Yunyu suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
"You fell asleep again." Zhou Yi frowned and said worriedly. He picked up the bath towel, wrapped her up and picked her up.
I don’t know if it was because the temperature in the bathroom was too high or too humid, but both of their faces were inexplicably flushed.
Zhou Yi carried her directly back to her room. When he was about to turn around and take her pajamas and underwear back to the room, Zhou Yunyu, who was sitting on the bed, suddenly tugged at his sleeve.
He took a shower earlier than her today, and Zhou Yunyu could smell his fragrance when he held her in his arms.
Zhou Yunyu pursed her lips and swallowed, "Do you want to do it tonight?"
"If you want to play, I'll play with you." Zhou Yi turned around and faced her.
"Just keep it simple, no need to play with other things." Zhou Yunyu raised his eyebrows and looked at him. Perhaps he was tired, so his voice was a little soft.
Zhou Yi smiled at her gently and said, "Okay."
He sat down on the edge of her bed and unbuttoned her pajamas, exposing her favorite part in front of her. With his back to the light, his eyes moved around, and the love in his eyes seemed to be bursting out.
If Zhou Yunyu didn't know that this was only because his program said he loved and respected her, she would sometimes almost think that Zhou Yi really loved her.
Zhou Yi hugged her body which was a little hot from bathing, bent down and kissed her earlobe. Zhou Yunyu's ears were a little sensitive, and she would subconsciously dodge every time he touched her.
He seemed to rub her cheek with the tip of his nose, and then kissed her earlobe. He smiled and whispered, "Xiaoyu."
