Chapter 57
Chenxi felt that Jin Yi had been acting strangely lately. Specifically, she stopped dressing up in front of him and liked to drag him to the movies, especially sentimental romance dramas.
For example, right now, the male and female leads in the movie are embracing and kissing passionately. The scene is beautiful and delicate, and the music is melodious and touching.
Chen Xi, who was watching the movie, suddenly felt a strong sense of being watched. He subconsciously turned his head and saw Jin Yi staring at him intently. His bright and beautiful golden eyes were full of focus and a hint of hidden heat.
For some reason, Chenxi suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and her words became somewhat stammering, "W-what's wrong?"
Jin Yi first gave Chen Xi a smile, the kind of smile Chen Xi liked best—dazzling and stunning enough to amaze anyone—and then said, "Shall we give it a try?"
Try, try what?
Lost in Jin Yi's smile, Chen Xi didn't realize what was happening for a while. The melodious background music was still playing, and the large screen beside him showed the male and female leads kissing passionately. Chen Xi's eyes widened involuntarily because he suddenly understood that what Jin Yi meant by "try" was to try kissing.
Suddenly, Chenxi's face turned red.
He was a teenager with the physical age of eighteen and the mental age of eighteen. His life experiences before the age of eighteen were incredibly simple. Because of his poor health, he had never thought about or been exposed to these kinds of things. Although he realized that he liked Jin Yi and got a marriage certificate with her, making her his companion robot, his feelings for Jin Yi were mostly pure affection and possessiveness. He wanted to completely bind Jin Yi to himself, but he didn't think much beyond that. He was as innocent as could be.
But now Jin Yi asked him if he wanted to try kissing, and Chen Xi suddenly felt his face burning hot.
Jin Yi's gaze deepened as he looked at Chen Xi's innocent reaction, his unfathomable eyes seeming to want to devour the person before him completely.
Chen Xi naturally noticed the change in Jin Yi's expression, and now he couldn't hold back any longer. In the end, he could only say dryly, "I... I remembered that I have something to do."
After saying that, he fled in panic.
Jin Yi watched Chen Xi's panicked figure disappear into the distance and couldn't help but chuckle. However, a few seconds later, he stopped laughing in astonishment and stared motionlessly at the bedroom door. Sure enough, a moment later, a small head hesitantly popped out from the empty bedroom entrance. The small head froze for a moment after meeting Jin Yi's gaze, but in the end, it seemed to have made up its mind and walked straight over.
Even though her face was burning red, Chen Xi still walked quickly to Jin Yi, then boldly lowered her head and pressed her lips to Jin Yi's face.
They kept their lips pressed together for two seconds, then Chenxi stood up and said, pretending not to care, "Okay, I've tried it. I really have something to do, so I'll be going now."
After saying that, Chen Xi turned and left like the wind. Her back view was so similar to the first time she left, except that she couldn't hide her blood-red ears.
Jin Yi, who had been sitting in the same spot where she had watched the movie with Chen Xi, couldn't help but raise her hand to touch the lips she had just been kissed after Chen Xi left. She savored the soft, warm feeling, then stroked the bionic heart that had been moving more than twice as fast. Her smile couldn't be hidden and grew wider and wider.
It really is so cute.
Is this what it feels like to be a human partner? It's a hundred times better than I ever imagined.
After laughing for a while, Jin Yi stopped laughing and her face returned to a serious expression.
A cold glint flashed in his eyes, for as the mastermind, constantly in control of a vast information empire, he discovered new activity on the StarNet: hundreds of millions of AI were petitioning for the restoration of the polyamorous system, and the number of petitioners was rapidly increasing.
The one-human-multiple-partner system refers to the marriage system between humans and robot partners during the period when humans still existed. At that time, the law still served humans. Humans had to be one-to-one to form a partnership, but there was no such restriction between humans and robots. A human could be paired with only one robot or with multiple robots. As for the outcome, it depended on how deep the human's feelings were for their robot partner.
This less-than-fair companion system was maintained throughout human existence until humanity chose self-destruction, leaving behind robots that formed the current intelligent race. Only then was the companion law amended, changing the system from allowing a human to have multiple companion robots to allowing only one companion robot per human.
In fact, when this bill was amended, there were no humans left in the world. The amendment to this bill had almost no practical significance, but this bill was established in the first legislation of the GQ with a 100% pass rate.
It seems that GQ is trying to use this almost futile move to confirm that they have obtained the rights they have always wanted.
But clearly, some members of the Gambian people now regret their decision.
The one-human-one-companion robot system is a right that all intelligent beings once dreamed of. However, it depends on the time frame. In an era where humans and robots coexist, there are many humans, and their chances of wanting to become companion robots are not low. This is, of course, the heartfelt wish of all robots. But in an era where humans are completely extinct, this law is just a piece of paper, merely fulfilling their long-held desires and fantasies.
But now humans have reappeared, and their numbers are so small that there is only one, a single male human. With all egg banks destroyed, it is clear that the human race can never flourish again. All acts of cloning human cells are strictly prohibited and are written into their underlying programs.
Therefore, humanity, both now and in the future, will only ever have this one.
Against this backdrop, the bill that was once passed with 100% agreement from all members of the Ghibli community seems rather ridiculous.
Humans are already so few in number, yet the rule is that only one companion robot is allowed. What's even more outrageous is that the candidate has already been decided—that abuser of power who took advantage of his position as the main brain to get the robot first.
This is something that no one in the world can accept.
But now the matter is settled. The mainframe has become Chenxi's legal companion robot and is protected by the law of one human and one companion robot. All the intelligent races see that they no longer have a chance.
Under these circumstances, it is only natural that many intellectuals want to change the status quo.
They thought that the fact that the mainframe had become a companion robot was unchangeable, but the law about one human and one companion robot could still be modified.
If that law were amended and reverted to the traditional pairing laws of human times, wouldn't they have another chance?
Even if the additional slots are added later, the competition will still be fierce and the chances of success will be slim compared to the huge population of the entire AI race. But it will still be better than the current situation, where there is absolutely no hope.
Therefore, many intellectuals are ambitious and determined to push for amendments to the partnership law.
Jin Yi looked at the ever-increasing number of petitioners and sneered. "Don't even think about amending the Partner Law!"
...
...
A few days later, the massive intelligent starship fleet that had been docked outside Canaan set off again. Chenxi led all the intelligent beings and the royal heirs away, leaving behind only Ga'ai, which originally belonged to Canaan.
Gae looked at the now empty sky, appearing somewhat lost and bewildered.
The reason why Ga'e acted this way was quite simple: after learning about the Ear Fox Clan, he had been looking forward to seeing Chenxi again, to taking Chenxi on a good tour of the Canaanite Clan, and to entertaining Chenxi. Unfortunately, perhaps the Canaanite Clan had limited appeal to Chenxi, because in the following days, Chenxi did not summon them once. It was unknown whether he did not go out or, as before, disguised himself and secretly went out to play. Until today, the Zhi Clan's fleet left, leaving him behind.
Gae couldn't help but sigh. He figured he'd never have such a good opportunity again. Thinking this, he actually felt a little envious of the royal heirs who were still on the Zhiri starships.
After much lingering melancholy, Ga'e finally composed himself. After all, what's done is done, and what's more important now is the Canaanite people, whom he can finally bring under his control.
Meanwhile, the royal heirs on the starship surprisingly shared the same thoughts as Ga'ai. Although those royal heirs who knew about the Ear Fox Clan had also waited for several days without seeing Chen Xi again, they were also grateful that they still had a chance. As for the somewhat unlucky Ga'ai, it can only be said that he did not have that luck.
Many people had already planned with great enthusiasm how to get closer to Chenxi during the upcoming journey, and how to properly entertain him after they reached their own race... However, these people did not have much time to be happy, because less than a day after they went into space, except for a few people such as the Ear Fox Clan Prince, the rest of them were taken into a separate starship, and then this starship left the main force of the Zhi Clan.
Everyone inside that starship, watching the large fleet of starships gradually widen the distance between them, was filled with disbelief.
Someone mustered up the courage to ask the Chilean who was delivering the nutritional supplements, "Where are we going?"
The only response they received was a cold, indifferent "We'll take you home."
...
As for why this happened, it's because Chenxi had already shared her thoughts with Jinyi. Having grown tired of this travel mode, Chenxi wasn't planning on seeing every race, so she only kept the Ear Fox Clan Crown Prince and a few other races that she was slightly interested in. As for the other royal heirs, since they were no longer useful, they were naturally sent back directly.
Even for the few races that remained, Chen Xi might not personally set foot on the planet like before; he might just take a look from a starship or spacecraft.
As for why Chenxi lost interest in these races so quickly, and even seemed somewhat perfunctory about the rest of the trip, besides genuinely getting tired of them, the most important reason was that Chenxi, who was eighteen years old and experiencing her first love with a legal partner, was now surrounded by pink bubbles every day.
These past few days, what Chenxi thought about most was Jin Yi's lips, they were so soft, and then her cheeks turned bright red. As for the things that the royal heirs on Canaan had been looking forward to, such as going out to play with him, they had long been forgotten, and she couldn't even remember them at all.
