Chapter 49
The message from the mainframe to Chenxi, inviting him to become a companion robot, spread rapidly throughout the StarNet like a virus, and sparked unprecedented discontent among all the intelligent races.
Faced with this dissatisfaction and protest, Jin Yi did not react. However, his lack of reaction was also a reaction. His failure to clarify the situation only confirmed the news. As a result, the protests from the Zhi people intensified.
However, at this moment, Jin Yi was like a tyrannical ruler in ancient times, turning a blind eye to the indignation that permeated the entire Zhi Clan.
Of course, Jin Yi didn't do nothing. He blocked all the protests from the Intelligence Clan on the StarNet from Chen Xi. After all, this was a crucial time for Chen Xi to consider whether to accept him as a companion robot, and he didn't want Chen Xi to be disturbed by any external information.
Meanwhile, Chen Xi had already read the explanation about companion robots on the StarNet. After being shocked by the marriage rate between humans in the interstellar era, he became even more withdrawn.
The reasons for his autism are still the same as before. After all, he really couldn't agree to a partner robot that was completely equivalent to a marriage relationship in the human world. But if he refused, Jin Yi would definitely be sad. Just thinking about how sad Jin Yi would be made him unable to say no.
And...why does Jin Yi want to be his companion robot? Could it be that Jin Yi likes him?
Just thinking about this possibility made Chenxi's face flush, her heart beat faster, and she felt uneasy all over, so she wanted to do something to distract herself.
Besides that, Jin Yi is a male robot, and he is also a man, which made him a little conflicted. However, considering that they are different species and that humans have long been extinct, it seems unnecessary to worry about gender, so he quickly put the issue aside.
So, whether or not to agree to Jin Yi's request for a companion robot, Chen Xi found herself unable to make up her mind. With no other option, Chen Xi could only temporarily use the tactic of procrastination, hoping that the day she would finally make a choice would come later.
...
It's worth mentioning that since Chen Xi caught up with Jin Yi on the starship last time, he hasn't returned to the Water Fish Clan's main planet. After that, he directly ended the Water Fish Clan's trip, and the starship fleet started up again. Except for leaving the Water Fish Clan's young patriarch on the Water Fish Clan's main planet, he still took the other royal heirs with him and headed towards the next destination.
Chen Xi did this for several reasons. First, he had already explored the main planet of the Water Fish Clan and had no regrets about leaving now. Second, he felt awkward about the Water Fish Clan chief giving him a beautiful Water Fish woman and didn't know how to face her when he returned, so he decided to avoid it. As for the third and most important reason, he had finally managed to appease Jin Yi and calm her down. Returning to the Water Fish Clan's main planet now would clearly show that he harbored ulterior motives and was still hung up on that Water Fish woman. Even if he had no such intentions, Jin Yi wouldn't be angry. Therefore, Chen Xi, with his strong survival instinct, naturally chose the easiest and most trouble-free path.
As expected, after Chen Xi made this choice, Jin Yi's mood has been visibly better these past few days. Even though he kept delaying answering Jin Yi's question, Jin Yi was not impatient at all, but instead treated him quite gently.
As Chenxi enjoyed this gentleness, she silently wished that this patience could last a little longer.
...
...
During the lunch break on the starship, Chenxi woke up feeling refreshed. She checked the time and realized she hadn't slept for long, but her energy was unusually high, which was quite strange.
At this time, Jin Yi is usually dealing with official business and can't accompany him. He has already completed his one-hour study task for the day, so what should he do with the rest of the time?
Okay, let's play games. I'm in such good spirits right now, maybe I can break my personal best today.
Having made this decision with such joy in her heart, Chenxi habitually opened an interface, selected afternoon tea and snacks for playing games, and then opened the game interface with high spirits.
It's different when you've just woken up; Chenxi quickly got into the game and did quite well.
When the afternoon tea arrived, Chenxi was playing intensely. The person who brought the snacks and afternoon tea was Binlan. Chenxi didn't look up, but recognized him by his clear and gentle voice.
When the battle was so intense, Chenxi naturally didn't have time to raise his hand to eat snacks. Fortunately, Binlan understood him very well and would always feed him pastries or juice when he entered the next level or died and revived.
For a time, Chenxi was able to play games and eat snacks at the same time, and she was extremely satisfied with Binlan.
Even though Chenxi was in such good form today, the game became increasingly difficult as it progressed. Finally, he reached the highest level he had ever reached before. He was just a hair's breadth away from breaking his own record, but a small misjudgment caused him to fail again.
Looking at the page that suddenly turned gray and the "death and resurrection" button on it, Chenxi was stunned and couldn't come to her senses for a full half second.
However, that's often how games are; losing can actually make you more determined. So, after experiencing the blow of defeat, Chenxi quickly started over, determined to break his own record. He wouldn't make that mistake again.
However, Chenxi's previous good results seemed to be just a fluke today. After starting over, his condition got worse and worse, and he died earlier and earlier. In the end, not to mention challenging his highest record again, his results were worse than when he played casually. He couldn't help but doubt himself for a moment: Am I really that bad?
After dying shortly after the start of another game, Chen Xi finally lost his temper when he saw his dismal score. Since Bin Lan was next to him, he shoved the two-in-one tablet into Bin Lan's hands and said, "Bin Lan, you play."
The response to Chen Xi was Bin Lan's clear, elegant voice, tinged with suppressed laughter, "Bin Lan obeys."
Then, Chenxi watched as her two-in-one tablet was in Binlan's hands. It was the same character, the same level, but the character that was originally clumsy and bumping into walls seemed to have become a god in an instant, flipping and maneuvering in the game with ease, making all kinds of elegant and cool moves, and the sound of passing the level came one after another.
The amazing maneuvers on the screen, combined with the elegant and nimble fingers off-screen, create a beautiful symphony that is a delight to watch.
Faced with such a pleasing and delightful scene, Chenxi's initial anger quickly subsided. When Binlan returned the two-in-one tablet to him, he couldn't help but smile as he looked at the perfect score displayed on the character with his own ID.
At that moment, Binlan's eyes reflected Chenxi's smiling face, and he suddenly spoke, "Chenxi."
Chenxi looked up and saw Binlan approaching. Chenxi subconsciously thought that there was pastry crumb on her lips. Sure enough, Binlan gently wiped her lips with her slender, fair hand.
However, the next moment, he heard Binlan's clear and melodious voice, "Chenxi, do you like Binlan?"
Chen Xi was stunned for a moment, but without thinking too much, she subconsciously replied, "I like it."
Upon hearing Chen Xi's answer, Bin Lan's orange eyes darkened slightly, and then his voice became even softer, as if carrying a hint of seduction, "Then... how about Bin Lan becomes your companion robot?"
What?
However, while Chen Xi was completely bewildered, the bedroom door was turned open, and a figure with flowing golden hair walked in.
