Chapter 46: Scene 4: I really want to be friends with him...
"...You're too careless."
He Yuezhe squatted down awkwardly, and Chen Shu's voice came from beside him.
"Are you not hurt?"
Just now, Chen Shu asked her to put the flowers in the vase, but she stumbled and didn't fall, but the vase hit the corner of the table and shattered into pieces.
He Yuezhe vacuumed up the broken glass, wrapped it up and threw it into the trash can: "No."
She saw Chen Shu's eyes fixed on her arm, and remembered the place where she was accidentally scratched when playing with the throwing knife. She turned her arm around calmly.
"Well, and also, you only need to be responsible for cooking from now on. I will let someone else clean the house." Chen Shu was silent for a moment, she clenched her hands, and sat back on the carpet.
"Okay," He Yuezhe replied, "What would you like for dinner tonight?"
"Host, host, this kind of talk usually means that there are hidden things in this person's home that they don't want you to find!" The system was a little excited.
He Yuezhe also thought of this, but Chen Shu didn't go out, so where could she find an opportunity to search the house?
So he ignored the system and turned to look at Chen Shu, who had not responded yet.
"A bowl of instant vegetable soup...thank you." Chen Shu turned on the TV and pointed at the shopping bag in He Yuezhe's hand.
"Okay, I'm happy to help you."
He Yuezhe bowed and walked into the kitchen.

"Host, the success rate and progress of the mission target's salvation have dropped a lot." The system turned into a light spot that was said to be visible only to He Yuezhe, and rolled around on the dining table with a sad face.
"I'm following your instructions carefully."
He Yuezhe stood beside the table, watching Chen Shu sip the soup bit by bit.
"What should we do then?" the light spot sobbed. "If we still don't collect the energy platform this mission, we might go bankrupt!!"
He Yuezhe chuckled twice and said, "Then go bankrupt. What does it have to do with me?"
"Are you going out tomorrow?" Chen Shu suddenly asked.
"What do you need?" He Yuezhe reacted immediately. She cut off the chat with the system and ignored the light spot running around on the table angrily.
Chen Shu said, "Buy me a bar of soap."
Soap? ? ?
Didn’t the robot in the factory tell her that these humans didn’t need to take a bath?
"...Okay." Due to his identity as a robot, He Yuezhe couldn't ask directly.
"Then, your family has been contacting me recently. If you don't want to go back, you'd better be careful when you go out."
Chen Shu stirred the soup and turned his gaze to He Yuezhe who lowered his head.
"Uh, host, that..."
"Didn't you tell me that this body is just an empty shell?"
Because he didn't want to pay attention to the original owner's story in addition to the salvation of the target, He Yuezhe also specifically instructed the system.
"Is this your careful selection?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't understand what you meant. But you are my family." He Yuezhe also looked at Chen Shu.
For the first time, she felt her vision became so clear again!
Chen Shu's appearance suddenly changed from black and white to colorful.
He had brown curly hair, a thin face, a high nose bridge, and a pair of dull eyes that stood out from a piece of plastic film, staring straight at He Yuezhe.
"You know you can't say that casually." Chen Shu retracted his gaze and drank the last mouthful of soup. "Go and rest."
"……OK."

“You’re here!”
"Xiao Jin, you have to say 'Welcome'! Do you know?"
"Dad, it hurts!" Yang Jin covered his forehead.
“Serves you right!”
"If you don't learn these rules, how will you be able to handle things on your own in the future?" Boss Yang knocked on the boy's head again. "I'll go get the stock, you bring the people in!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
At the door of the department store, He Yuezhe and Yang Jin were left looking at each other.
"Well, welcome!" Yang Jin bowed deeply to He Yuezhe.
"Thank you." He Yuezhe helped him up.
"Boss," Yang Jin suddenly spoke, and the content startled He Yuezhe, "Are you tired of walking? Do you need me to carry you?"
He Yuezhe glanced at the boy's thin figure and said, "I'm not tired. I don't need it."
"Um, are your arms and shoulders sore? Do you want me to give you a massage?"
Yang Jin asked again, "Or do you need oil? I saw in a magazine that robots need oil to maintain their joints."
"So, Dangdang, I specially prepared a can of rapeseed oil for you, big boss! This is the best quality. I begged my dad for a long time before he was willing to give me just a small amount!"
"...Do you have something to talk to me about?" He Yuezhe remained silent.
"Ah!" Yang Jin blinked a few times, scratched his head, and said embarrassedly, "Boss, didn't you say yesterday that I could meet you at 607 Baihuo Avenue?"
"Yeah." He Yuezhe remembered that she also passed by No. 607 yesterday. It seemed to be a flower shop.
"Host, I actually made up that address. Do you believe it?"
"A liar is a puppy."
"Then I went there this morning and found out that robots can actually be friends with humans!"
Yang Jin looked excited: "But they said they need to know my guarantor's name before they can let me in."
"So, Boss, can you tell me your name?"
"Host, if he just wants to know your name, this is definitely a great way that cannot be refused."
"You didn't go in...how do you know that robots can become friends with humans?" He Yuezhe asked puzzledly.
Upon hearing this, Yang Jin's sparkling eyes suddenly brightened even more. "Because the person at the door told me that the name of their organization is 'Anti-Robot-Human Communication Organization'! That name sounds like what it means!"
“…”
"Boss, why don't you say anything?"
"I can tell you my name, but please don't come to see me in the future." He Yuezhe said tactfully.
"Why?" Yang Jin was very disappointed. "Boss, I think they are all very interesting."
"Because you didn't pass the assessment." He Yuezhe turned to Yang Jin with a serious face.
"Ah..." Yang Jin opened his mouth and frowned, lowering his head and walking with a look of grievance, "Okay."
"Do you still want to know my name?"
"think!"
"If I call you in the future, you will come to help me, then I will tell you, right?"
"Of course! I'm awesome!"
"Okay, you can call me Pomegranate."
…
"Boss Pomegranate, this is..."
"Oh, I hadn't noticed. How come you're entertaining guests? Have you identified everything?"
Boss Yang came over from behind the counter, patted Yang Jin on the shoulder, then turned to He Yuezhe and said, "Sir, this is your second time here, right? If he treats you poorly, please tell me!"
"Dad!?!" Yang Jin was startled and curled up to hide behind the shelf.
"Okay, thank you." He Yuezhe bowed slightly to Boss Yang and took the two coupons he handed over.
"Host, if our relationship with Yang Jin improves in the future, will we be able to make purchases for free one day?" The system was very excited. It got into He Yuezhe's pocket and rubbed the coupons.
"I'm sincere in wanting to be friends with him. I won't change my attitude because of these little things," He Yuezhe retorted.
The system's voice was full of disdain. It tsk- ...
"I see that in your original world, everyone is very humble, right?"
“Am I an employee of the platform?”
"yes."
"Can I go back to that world now?"
"For now, yes."
“So am I the closest to the platform?”
"……Um."
"Then I've already left that world, right?" He Yue curled her lips. "So you'd better stop talking about that world, okay?"
Little stupid dog.
"Boss Pomegranate," Yang Jin waved his hand just below her sight, "What do you think? Is this the one?"
He Yuezhe came back to his senses, bent down to look at the ordinary rectangular soap wrapped in plastic film in Yang Jin's hand, and nodded: "Let's take this one."
"Okay, I'll go get the shopping bags. Boss Pomegranate, please wait here for me!" Yang Jin smiled.
He put the soap on the shelf and ran away quickly.
"By the way, host, have you become accustomed to the name 'Pomegranate'?" the system continued.
"You've been quite active lately."
He Yuezhe saw the boy holding an unopened shopping bag and rushed back in a hurry.
"Boss Pomegranate, this, this, hurry up and catch it!" Yang Jin held the shopping bag in his left hand and clenched his right fist, shouting at He Yuezhe, "Hurry, hurry, hurry! Don't let it fall to the ground!"
"What is this?" He Yuezhe took it with his hand.
It seemed to be an object with an extremely blurry face?
Yang Jin was packing the soap into bags while humming a tune: "Hehehe, this is a miniature model of you that I made specially for you, Boss."
"How about it, is it the super invincible homeland exploding bull?!!"
home?
He Yuezhe narrowed his eyes, looked at the completely unclear object in his hand, and nodded: "Very impressive, I didn't expect you could do this."
"Tsk, hey, Boss Pomegranate, you, you have to promise not to tell my dad first." Yang Jin packed it up and leaned over to whisper, "Forget it, you definitely won't tell, no need to promise."
"Ahem, I stole this skill from my dad."
"He always says he's the creator of the first generation of robots, so I'm sure I'm talented too,"
His voice was tinged with sorrow.
"Alas, even now, he still refuses to teach me anything."
"If I hadn't seen him making a robot with my own eyes that day, I would have laughed at him!"
"—Oh, by the way, Boss Pomegranate, do you have anything else to buy?"
He Yuezhe shook her head. She also saw Boss Yang who had woken up in shock at the counter: "No."
"Oh, Dad! Why do you always--" Yang Jin rushed over and helped up Boss Yang who had fallen to the ground.
He Yuezhe also followed and prepared to pay the bill.
"It's okay, it's okay... I just had a little dream." Boss Yang waved his hand, sat back in the rocking chair, and gasped for breath.
"Oh, you want to pay, right?" He looked at He Yuezhe who was approaching and took out the scanner. "Just put it there. Let me see... 19 yuan."
"OK."
…
"Boss Pomegranate, I'll just send you here. You must come to see me often in the future." Yang Jin said aggrievedly and opened his arms towards He Yuezhe.
The two of them almost hugged each other.
"Okay." He Yuezhe said.
"By the way, if it's during closing time, Boss, you can just climb over the wall and come in. I'll come pick you up as soon as I hear you!"
Yang Jin gave a thumbs up and winked at He Yuezhe.
"Okay." He Yuezhe said again.

Walk out the door.
It's almost dinner time.
He Yuezhe couldn't spare the time to settle accounts with those robot shop owners, so he had to rush home.
Suddenly, a hand stretched out from nowhere and grabbed her arm forcefully!
He Yuezhe turned around suddenly, and what came towards him was an extremely sharp knife!
