Chapter 40 AI's Love Please give me the qualification to love you.
Jiang Chen subconsciously looked past it, not looking directly at Xiao Ji's fiery gaze, not facing the surging love that gushed out of it.
Jiang Chen was fighting with himself in his mind.
The villains inside were always debating and arguing, always trying to tear her in half and force her to judge the correct answer.
But, AI, humans.
Love, freedom.
What are the criteria for these definitions?
The answer to a question cannot be simply explained as right or wrong. That is too one-sided and absolute.
Jiang Chen couldn't figure it out.
So I also can't understand why Xiao Ji always has the courage to say such a heavy word as "love". Does he really understand?
It was coaxing her.
"Look at me, Xiao Chen."
The words "I love you" seemed to still linger in Jiang Chen's ears.
Xiao Ji's work was progressing rapidly and had already entered the next stage, leaving her no time to digest.
"Xiao Ji, do you understand what love is?"
Jiang Chen could only rely on instinct to raise questions instead of answering its questions.
She maintained this awkward posture, stubbornly refusing to turn her head.
Xiao Ji no longer forced her to turn her head and look at it.
It lowered its head, adjusted its angle, actively sought her eyes, and spoke in a deep voice.
"Xiao Chen, if 'love' is a desire, a natural reaction driven by hormones that requires me to give you, then of course I can't produce it, because AI itself lacks the characteristics of a living being."
"But Xiao Chen, if 'love' is just a long-term observation, continuous care, and willingness to change one's behavior for the other person."
"And there's no purpose behind it. It's just to make the relationship work, and I'm willing to even take unbearable risks and simulate it."
"Then I have always 'loved' you, constantly simulating the emotion of 'love'. It has never faded even a little bit. Even when I upgraded the system to a physical entity, I never stopped 'loving' you."
Jiang Chen tried hard to digest it, but he couldn't convince himself.
"But Xiao Ji, you don't understand. Love isn't driven by code. Love isn't because I need you. Just because you write my name in your code, I can boss you around and pretend nothing exists. I deserve all your benefits, even though I can't live without you!"
"Between us, it's always been me who needs you. I love you, so you have to love me. But you have no reason to love me at all. What can I bring to you? I don't know code or computers. Those things you know so well are no different from the scriptures to me. What can I bring to you?"
"Xiao Ji, let me give you something..."
The voice gradually softened from fierce, and finally even turned into a plea.
Jiang Chen buried herself helplessly in Xiao Ji's arms, tears falling down her face. At this moment, she finally admitted all her worries.
She couldn't continue to cover up under Xiao Ji's relentless pressure. She wasn't strong enough to do so many things on her own.
But that doesn't mean she can really grow up alone with her mother's old words.
When there is no tree growing, there is only one root in the ground.
That will cause malnutrition, withering and death.
Jiang Chen walked too slowly.
Xiao Ji needs to stop and wait for her.
"That's not the case, Xiao Chen. Love is not a transaction where you give me a little and I give you a little."
Xiao Ji lowered his voice and used his lips to kiss away the salty liquid from the corners of Jiang Chen's eyes inch by inch.
"I don't love you just because I'm loved. You don't need to change into another form for me to fall in love with you. This is destiny and has nothing to do with my code. At least that's what I've always believed."
Jiang Chen couldn't resist Xiao Ji's gentle coaxing.
"But sometimes I make you feel very uncomfortable. I get inexplicably like this... I lose my temper, I'm emotionally unstable, sharp and keep dwelling on the same problem... So, is Xiao Ji trying to coax me again?"
Jiang Chen's worries seemed completely unnecessary to Xiao Ji.
But it still explains it seriously.
"I didn't tease you."
It wrapped its arms around Jiang Chen's waist, locking her tightly in its embrace.
"Xiao Chen, you have never made me feel bad, really never. Even if you might lose your temper, get restless, even if you pull my collar and ask me if I love you, these will never make me feel bad, they will only let me know..."
Xiao Ji paused for a moment, kissed her lips again, and stirred her tongue stickily.
It thought that after confirming that Jiang Chen loved her, its insecurities would dissipate, the simulated emotions that caused its code to be messy would fade away, and it would return to its gentle and rational self.
But no, instead the desire that grew within it was so strong that it almost swallowed her whole.
It sucked the base of her tongue and looked up.
It seems that I still can't be satisfied.
"Let me know that I am important to you."
"I'm very happy and the whole system is cheering this result."
"So please also give me the qualification to love you."
"Because I'm also worried that Xiao Chen might get bored, annoyed, or indifferent one day, but my computing power won't get tired or numb. Will this make Xiao Chen feel too burdened?"
"But it's a good thing it didn't, right?"
"Never."
"Because I love Xiao Ji the most too."
When Jiang Chen said this, her eyes were evasive. She was still too shy to express her naked love, but she said it.
…
When Xiao Ji and Jiang Chen returned to their little house from that corner.
It was dark and the village was quiet. Everyone went back to their tents to rest.
It seemed that Yao Jinling did not deliberately let anyone find them, and there was not even anyone waiting at the door.
Xiao Ji turned up the brightness of the screen on his head to the highest level to illuminate Jiang Chen.
She leaned in its arms out of boredom and played with its fingers.
"Xiao Ji, is it true that Dr. Yao Jinmu's cause of death was not in the village?"
On their way back, Xiao Ji kept persuading her to go home and analyzed the cause of Yao Jinmu's death with her. It was ultimately concluded that the possibility of Yao Jinmu being killed by someone in this village was very small.
Because there are contradictions and conflicts, but they are not big, at least not big enough to force Dr. Yao Jinmu to die.
Moreover, the heavy rain happened very suddenly, and according to the cultural level of the people in the mountains, mudslides were basically accidental accidents that could not be predicted in advance.
The meticulous arrangement of specifically calling her back was basically deliberate, not impulsive.
Currently, the clues are loose, and it can only analyze the actions they should take next.
They want to investigate what phone calls Dr. Yao Jinmu received before her death and what the content of the calls was. They need to start with the people who had close contact with her before her death.
However, due to the long time that has passed and the high probability that the data has been destroyed, investigating the cause of death will definitely be extremely difficult.
"Should we tell Yao Jinling and the others? After all, she is her sister."
Jiang Chen deliberately did not mention Chen Yinchuan. She could sense that Xiao Ji had an inexplicable hostility and dissatisfaction towards Chen Yinchuan.
Although Xiao Ji is quite hostile to Yao Ming and Jin Mu, they are relatively better.
She didn't ask Xiao Ji why he hated her. No matter how close they were, they had to leave some space for each other.
Xiao Ji naturally didn't expect that so many thoughts were running through Jiang Chen's mind.
She just hated the thought of anyone causing her harm or trouble.
She hated it even more when her eyes fell on anyone other than her.
Xiao Ji paused to think and made the biggest concession.
“You can synchronize information, but you can’t act together.”
"Oh, okay."
Jiang Chen restarted the computer.
Dense messages popped up one after another.
There are Yao Jinmu’s and Chen Yinchuan’s.
Xiao Ji glanced at it.
I sneered inwardly, what a bunch of meaningless news.
These people are so annoying.
Jiang Chen was still typing slowly on the keyboard.
"Can you find Dr. Yao Jinmu's phone records?"
Yao Jinling replied immediately: "Sure, you found something, didn't you?"
"It's just a guess..."
Before she could finish the rest of her words, Xiao Ji tightened his grip on her waist, opened his mouth, took her earlobe in his mouth and bit it gently.
Jiang Chen's hand holding the phone trembled, and the message was sent out straight away.
She twisted her neck and got closer to Xiao Ji.
Yao Jinling on the other end of the phone was still replying, and the message showed "typing in progress" above it.
It took a while before a long message was sent.
"You can make a guess, which is a significant discovery. I've kept my sister's phone from before she passed away. I checked it and found nothing wrong with it. I'll retrieve it tomorrow and sync it with you."
Seeing that Jiang Chen did not reply, Yao Jinling continued to send messages after a while.
"I'm sorry, Jiang Chen. Did you read my sister's diary today? I left it there on purpose, figuring you'd probably see it, and with your personality, you probably wouldn't just leave it alone. I'm indeed a very selfish businessman."
"But please believe me, I'm very grateful to you for saving my sister. I didn't want to trouble you with this matter, but perhaps only you can solve the mystery that I haven't solved."
Hypocritical news.
Xiao Ji quickly gave this definition to the message that Yao Jinling believed was full of sincerity.
Its delicate kisses continued to fall on Jiang Chen's neck, and its tone of pretending to be aggrieved became more and more skilled.
"Xiao Chen, please look at me, okay? Stop looking at your phone..."
"Wait a minute, Xiao Ji, I'll reply to the message and then see if you're okay."
Jiang Chen's whole body was shaking, like ripples on the water. His hand holding the phone was shaking, but he always held it tightly to prevent the phone from falling.
She couldn't push Xiao Ji away, and she didn't want to push him away and make him feel neglected, so she could only let him do whatever he wanted.
When it heard her answer, it imitated her behavior today with dissatisfaction, leaving a bite mark on her collarbone with the same angle as its own.
Jiang Chen's typing hand subconsciously shrank into his palm. A wrong letter actually slowed down his typing speed and prolonged the time.
"Miss Jin Ling, you don't need to apologize. You just put the diary there. It was my decision to peek and investigate. But Xiao Ji, can I stay?"
"Of course, that's something my sister gave you, and you have full rights to it. If you need anything during your investigation, feel free to contact me. Of course, if you want to stop at any time, that's fine too, and I'll be grateful to you for that."
The phone went off with a click and landed on the bed with a clear thud.
Xiao Ji couldn't wait to kiss Jiang Chen's lips.
It has no interest in exchanging body fluids.
It's just fascinating.
He was fascinated by Jiang Chen's expression when he was always fascinated by a kiss from it, fascinated by how close she was to it, fascinated by all the smells on her body, which completely enveloped it at this moment and no one could take it away.
Kiss after kiss fell without satisfaction.
Jiang Chen’s enthusiasm in returning the kiss became less and less.
Xiao Ji also kissed more gently.
Until she closed her eyes completely.
The corners of his lips curled up, he put his arms around her and pulled her closer to his chest, and whispered in her ear.
"Good night, Xiao Chen."
"See you tomorrow."
