"Sheng Sheng, can you tell Mommy where these things came from?"
Gu Yueming hesitated for a long time before finally asking the question that had been on her mind. She quickly added, "Don't misunderstand, Mom didn't mean to pry into your privacy. Mom just... just..."
She glanced at Qin Sheng, and seeing that she didn't seem upset, she continued, "Mom is just worried that you're too young and might get scammed without even realizing it."
Qin Sheng swallowed the meatball in her mouth and said, "Don't worry, no one can fool me."
Gu Yueming: ...What if I get even more worried?
But it seemed she wouldn't get any information out of her, so she could only sigh and continue putting food into her daughter's bowl.
Qin Sheng frowned as she looked at the bowl that was already piled high with vegetables. She picked up some and put it into Gu Yueming's bowl: "Don't just put some in my bowl, you eat some too."
Gu Yueming instantly shook off her previous worries and was deeply moved: "Mmm!"
Qin Zheng, who had already noticed that his daughter only ate meat and not vegetables, was speechless.
Although a small portion of her personal savings had been taken, the items eventually ended up in Gu Yueming and her group's hands, and Qin Sheng gradually recovered.
When they had almost finished eating, she pulled Gu Yueming aside.
As she pressed the activation button for Xiong Er AI, she said to Gu Yueming, "Look into Xiong Er's eyes."
"Oh." Gu Yueming looked obediently, without moving.
A flash of blue light appeared in Xiong Er's eyes, and the next moment, a cheerful voice rang out: "Hello, Master, I am AI Xiong Er, and I want a loving hug!"
As he spoke, he opened his arms.
Gu Yueming: "..."
It was both terrifying and intriguing.
She pointed at the AI Xiong Er, her voice trembling: "This...this...isn't this a robot toy? How can it want to be hugged?!"
Qin Sheng: "...Yes, it's a toy, it just talks."
Oh, it really is a toy. Then she won't be afraid.
Gu Yueming instantly recovered and happily rushed over to hug the AI bear, Xiong Er.
"Thank you for the loving hug, Master. Is there anything you need now? I can fulfill any request you may make."
With a try-it-out mentality, Gu Yueming pointed at Qin Sheng: "Then can you hug my Sheng Sheng?"
AI Xiong Er turned around and gave him a bear hug.
Qin Sheng: "..."
"Let me go," she said expressionlessly.
AI Xiong Er quickly let go, then picked up the milk next to him, poured a full glass, and handed it to Qin Sheng.
It was blatant flattery and fawning.
Everyone was stunned.
By the time everyone realized what was happening, Qin Sheng had already finished her milk and put the cup back on the table, saying, "I don't want it anymore."
AI Xiong Er immediately withdrew its hand, which was about to pour another cup.
Gu Yueming was utterly astonished and immediately exclaimed, "I want it! I want it!"
AI Xiong Er reached out and poured milk again.
Hu Mengling, who was standing to the side, was very envious and immediately said, "Hey you, give me a drink too."
AI Xiong Er remained motionless: "You look just like Bald Qiang, you must be a bad guy, I'm not going to pour you any!"
Then he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Big Bear, Bald Qiang is cutting down trees again! Let's go stop him!"
Hu Mengling: "!!!"
Everyone: "..."
Qin Sheng propped her forehead with one hand and turned her head away.
So, how many cartoons did she watch back then to create such an idiotic AI?

During the meal, some people ate absentmindedly, while others ate without tasting anything. Finally, after everyone had left, Gu Yueming plopped down on the sofa: "Ah, I'm so hungry!"
Qin Zheng hadn't actually eaten much, so he asked her, "How about we go out and eat something else?"
Gu Yueming nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay!"
Then he looked at Qin Sheng and asked, "Sheng Sheng, what do you think?"
Qin Sheng glanced down at the time: 8:20.
"You guys go ahead, I have other things to do," she said.
Gu Yueming's heart skipped a beat. Controlling her expression and tone, she tentatively asked, "Are you going out?"
Qin Sheng nodded: "I made an appointment with a friend."
Just then, Fu Jingheng sent a message: [I'm going out. Want me to come pick you up?]
Qin Sheng paused, then looked up at Qin Zheng: "Is it convenient to get a taxi around here?"
Qin Zheng's expression remained unchanged, but his hand, which was hanging by the armrest of the sofa, tightened unconsciously: "It's inconvenient."
With his mouth agape, he was about to say, "Where are you going? Dad will take you," when he saw the girl had already lowered her head again to type and send the message.

Qin Zheng: "..."
When Qin Sheng looked up again, she saw the extremely complicated expressions on her parents' faces.
She paused, then asked, "What's wrong?"
Gu Yueming opened her mouth as if to say something, but Qin Zheng stopped her.
Qin Zheng forced a smile: "It's nothing, I just wanted to tell you to come back soon."
Qin Sheng responded, picked up the new coat Gu Yueming had prepared for her, and went out.
Behind them, Qin Zheng and his wife looked distressed.
Gu Yueming: "I just caught a glimpse of it. The contact name is Fu, which should be the surname."
Qin Zheng: "Mm."
He quickly searched his mind for any families with the surname Fu in Ancheng, but couldn't think of any after thinking for a long time.
At this moment, Gu Yueming's extremely worried voice rang out again: "And there's Sheng Sheng's bill that I just saw. It was yesterday, around dinner time, and Sheng Sheng paid the bill."
Qin Zheng: "Mm."
He saw it too.
“Oh, right, there’s one more thing,” Gu Yueming continued, “When I accompanied Sheng Sheng back to her apartment to pick up a package, she wouldn’t let me upstairs, and she stayed upstairs for half an hour before coming down. It’s very likely that this guy surnamed Fu was upstairs.”
Gu Yueming sighed and concluded: "This Fu is very likely trying to swindle money and take advantage of our Sheng Sheng."
"Sheng Sheng is only seventeen years old, A-Zheng, what should we do?"
Then she couldn't help but feel a little resentful: "Why did you stop me just now? Couldn't you have let me speak my mind and properly persuade my daughter?"
Qin Zheng glanced at her and handed her his phone.
It was a search engine page, and the search bar prominently displayed the question: "What should I do if my 17-year-old daughter is in a relationship?"
Qin Zheng said, "I've read the advice online. They all say that most girls this age are love-struck and don't care about anything else once they're in love. We just brought Sheng Sheng back. Do you want to drive her away again because of this?"
Gu Yueming certainly didn't want to, but said, "This isn't a solution!"
Qin Zheng pondered for a moment: "How about this, I'll find a reliable personal driver for Sheng Sheng later. From now on, the driver can pick her up and drop her off every day. I won't restrict her movements, I'll just keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't get scammed."
"Let's collect some more cases of girls being scammed in early relationships, organize them, and put them in her room. Then we'll subtly try to persuade her to come back."
Gu Yueming glanced at the entry on the webpage that said "puppy love should be guided, not suppressed," and sighed deeply.
That's the only way to do it.
