Interstellar Scientist & Robot Butler (8)

When Lan Ying left Ye Xi's house, she had only one thought in her mind - she must get that robot out.

Her subconscious told her that the robot 0852 was not a simple one.

It's different from other robots.

In Ye Xi's room.

The robot bent down and changed the bedding for Ye Xi. "Master, Miss Lan just slept in your room. Do you mind if I change the bedding?"

Ye Xi stood aside, and his brows couldn't help but frown when he thought that his bed had been slept in by someone else.

A look of deep disgust appeared between his brows.

"No need to change." Dr. Ye's voice was restrained and low.

Jiang Ye stopped changing the bed sheets, turned his head and looked at Ye Xi.

Huh? Ye Xi doesn't mind that his bed has been slept in by other women?

Ye Xi said decisively, "Just move the bedroom to the next room."

Jiang Ye: ...

Good idea.

"I helped the owner move all the things in that room to the next door."

Ye Xi nodded, and then said, "I'll go with you."

There weren't many pieces of furniture in the room, so Jiang Ye and Ye Xi moved them twice and turned the bedroom into the next room.

The room next door is brand new. There were no guests staying at home, so no one had slept in it for a long time and everything was as new as new.

Jiang Ye stood beside the bed. He was about 1.80 meters tall, with fair and delicate skin. The corners of his mouth had a polite and delicate smile, and he looked as beautiful as if he was bathing in the sun.

Ye Xi looked at his smile and her ears felt slightly hot.

"What are you laughing at?"

The robot said as it should, "When facing the master, we should smile."

However, Ye Xi's heartbeat quickened when the robot smiled, a feeling she had never experienced before.

Well, he seems to be immune to robot smiles.

Ye Xi lowered his eyes slightly, his voice was low and pleasant.

"Just smile at me."

After a pause, Ye Xi said, "Don't smile at others."

…

The next day, Ye Xi received a call. Ye's father and mother said that they were already on the starship and would be home in the afternoon.

The weather is very good today, with hot sunshine and warm air.

The robot said, "Master, when the uncle and aunt arrive home this afternoon, you can take photos with them."

"I'm sorry for breaking the family photo yesterday."

As he spoke, the robot couldn't help but lower his head. His shaggy hair reflected the bright golden sunlight. Under his long eyelashes, his glasses seemed to have no courage to look Ye Xi in the face.

Ye Xi sat on the sofa and turned to look at the robot.

His voice was calm, yet it carried a comforting force, "That photo is not very important to me."

"If it wasn't important, why would the owner put it next to the bed?"

The robot raised its head, looked at Ye Xi with its beautiful eyes, and asked softly.

Ye Xi was silent for a while, as if he was thinking about how to start. He adjusted his glasses and spoke after a while, "That's because I never interact with other people."

“There is no one else in my world.”

He placed that photo next to his bed because he had no photos with anyone other than his parents.

The reason why I put the photo next to the bed is not because the photo is so important.

It is for decorative purposes only.

The robot blinked slowly, as if it finally understood, and the expression of grievance and self-blame in its beautiful eyes turned into understanding. There was a tiny light in the depths of its eyes.

He paused for a moment, opened his soft pink lips, and spoke softly, word by word.

"Master, I am now part of your world."

Ye Xi's slender white fingers trembled slightly.

After a long while, he finally uttered "hmm" softly, his voice hoarse and suppressed.

Then he stopped talking and didn't even look at Jiang Ye.

Dr. Ye seems shy?

A few hours later, the sound of the smart door unlocking was heard outside. Father and Mother Ye walked in, covered in dust, carrying gifts brought from other planets and wearing warrior uniforms that they had not yet changed out of.

The robot heard the noise and went up first to maintain etiquette.

"Ma'am, sir, welcome home."

Although he is Ye Xi's robot, Ye Xi's father and mother are the heads of the family, so he must naturally remain polite and respectful.

The robot put one hand on his shoulder and bent his waist slightly, with standard gentleman etiquette. With his handsome young face, he looked very elegant and handsome.

"Well, not bad." Mrs. Ye looked at the robot at home with satisfaction.

Father Ye standing by was also very satisfied.

Ye Xi stood up from the sofa, looked at the two people who came in, and called them respectively, "Dad, Mom."

Although they hadn't seen each other for a long time, Ye Xi didn't show any obvious emotion when he saw his parents again, but his attitude was still respectful.

"Xixi, you seem to have gained weight recently." Mrs. Ye walked forward, looked at her son with joy, and put her hand against Ye Xi's chest.

"Is it because the robot your mother customized for you is useful that you are finally willing to replenish your nutrition on time?"

How can drinking nutritional fluids have such great effects?

To be precise, Ye Xi gained weight because he ate the food cooked by Jiang Ye.

Father Ye said in a powerful voice, "It's better to grow stronger. If you are as thin as before, you are not a man at all."

Mrs. Ye and Mr. Ye are indeed a warrior couple. Their return instantly brought a sense of momentum and strength to the family.

After a few more words, Mrs. Ye took out a box from the gift bag and handed it to Ye Xi, "Here, this is a gift that your parents brought specially for you from the planet Stankra."

The small pure white box is not transparent, so I can't see what's inside.

Jiang Ye was very curious about what treasures there were in the interstellar age.

Fortunately, Mrs. Ye and Mr. Ye changed their clothes and prepared to go out. It was a rare opportunity for them to come back, and they had to leave again in two days. In such a short time, they still had many people to visit.

Even when facing one's own children, one can only say a few brief words of concern and give them a gift before going on to meet other people.

After Mr. and Mrs. Ye left, Ye Xi just sat on the sofa. He had long been accustomed to long separations and also accustomed to short reunions.

"Master, what did the gentleman and the lady give you?" The robot stood aside, staring at the pure white box.

Ye Xi was in a daze, and came back to his senses when he heard the voice of the robot.

"Are you curious?" Ye Xi asked the robot.

The robot nodded.

Ye Xi then picked up the box and gently opened it in front of the robot.

Jiang Ye didn't recognize the things in the box.

It looks like a small diamond, but if you look closely, you can see a faint glow inside. It's not the light of a diamond, but the starry sky.

The purple and blue colors are so beautiful, like a galaxy with many planets in the universe. It is mysterious and absolutely beautiful. This little diamond is as beautiful as the universe.

It embodies the beauty of the galaxy, which is mysterious and dreamy.

“It’s really beautiful.”

The robot exclaimed in amazement at such a beautiful thing.

Ye Xi slowly raised her head and asked, "Do you like it?"

The robot stared at its owner and detected through data that the owner seemed to be preparing to give something to it.

So he shook his head elegantly and subtly, "Master, 0852 is just a robot. No matter how beautiful it is, it is not needed."

"Why not?"

"Yes, because I'm just a robot."

Robots don't deserve to have too many nice things.

Beautiful things are for human enjoyment.

When robots are born, they are implanted with the concept that all robots exist for humans. Humans are born to enjoy everything, while robots are born to serve.

Ye Xi looked at the thing in his hand and raised his head again.

“But I want to give it to you.”

The robot shook its head humbly, "Master, I don't need it."

"I'll give it to you."

Robot: “…”

"A robot cannot disobey its master's orders. Take it quickly."

The first rule of a robot is to obey all orders from its master, so Jiang Ye could only accept the things that Ri Yexi handed over and put them carefully into his pocket.

"Why did the master give me such a beautiful thing?"

Ye Xi said without hesitation, "Beautiful things can only be used for viewing, there is no use in keeping them."

The robot thought for a moment, with a question in its eyes, "Then the master doesn't like beautiful things?"

Ye Xi shook her head, "I don't like it."

He is not one to like pretty things.

"Then the master doesn't like me either?" The robot became decadent and looked at Ye Xi with disappointment, as if it was very sad because it was not liked by its master.

Because he is a beautiful robot, if his owner doesn't like beautiful things, it means he doesn't like him either.

Ye Xi was speechless for a moment. His throat moved and he wanted to speak, but he realized that no matter what he said, it would be wrong.

Soon after, Ye Xi's ears became visibly redder.

"0852... You are nothing."

Jiang Ye: ???

Saying I'm nothing?

Ye Xi said slowly, "You are a robot."

"Robots are either people or things," said the robot.

Ye Xi lowered her eyes, layers of dark haze rose in the depths of her gaze, and her thin lips were tightly pursed.

But why does he feel...

His robots are either things or people.

…

The next day was Lan Ying's birthday party.

Mrs. Ye and Mr. Ye came back specifically for this day.

The banquet was in the evening. Not long after Ye Xi woke up during the day, Mrs. Ye and Mr. Ye called him to the living room to discuss things with him.

Mrs. Ye sat on the sofa, "Xixi, Lan Ying will be eighteen after tonight, what do you think?"

Eighteen years old, in the Star Realm, means that a woman can get married and have children. They have been waiting for Lan Ying to become an adult for a long time.

Ye Xi seemed to be taciturn, and it took him a long time to say three words, "No idea."

"Since you don't have any ideas, why not just listen to your father and I and decide on your marriage to Lan Ying?"

Their own son knew that Ye Xi had never been interested in women since he was young, and he was completely clueless about love. So they had thought about it a long time ago, and in the future, Ye Xi's marriage could only be decided by them as parents.

Lan Ying has a wealthy family, is beautiful, and is devoted to Ye Xi. She also made it clear that she would not mind Ye Xi concentrating on scientific research. In their minds, she is the most suitable woman to be Ye Xi's wife.
