Chapter 102 Sweet and Salty-11 (End)
One month later, in the research institute.
"—So, do you remember now?"
Under the bright lights, Jiang Yan nodded to Xu Qian, then looked towards Meng Tang, "Meng Tang, I..."
The robot in front of him shook his head, his expression panicked, "No, I'm not Meng Tang, I'm not."
"Yes, you are not Meng Tang, you are the person I like."
Jiang Yan got out of bed, walked straight towards Meng Tang, and hugged him, hugging that cold and stiff body.
Xu Qian began to pack up his lab tools. As he was sorting them out, he said to Jiang Yan, "Sign your name later."
"What word?"
Xu Qian smiled gently, "Sign Mengtang's exclusive rights. The superiors have agreed to let him go. Come over and sign, and he'll be yours."
"Huh?"
…
After bringing Meng Tang home, the little robot sat on the sofa somewhat awkwardly. His simulated appearance was still that of Meng Tang. Because the hospital did not have the extra money to buy him another skin, he could only use the original one for now.
"Well, my parents went on a trip and they haven't come back yet." Jiang Yan walked around the room and came back to sit next to Meng Tang. "Would you like some water?"
Jiang Yan reached out to grab the water cup on the table, but when he was halfway there, Meng Tang grabbed his wrist and shook the cup violently, spilling most of the water. Jiang Yan was startled and turned around to ask, "What's wrong?"
Meng Tang's eyes turned red, and he said in a panic, "Jiang Yan, can you please not like him?"
"He is not, he is not..."
Jiang Yan raised his eyes and asked, "What is he not?"
Meng Tang lowered his eyes slightly, "I am... I am the Meng Tang who likes you."
"Well, I know, you are the Mengtang who fed me candy."
Jiang Yan's eyes lit up and he looked at the person in front of him with a smile, "I know everything. I also know that the person I have always liked is you."
Meng Tang tilted his head with a puzzled expression, "Am I still dreaming now?"
"No, whether in dreams or in reality, the person I like has always been you."
"But you said you don't like monsters. I am a monster." Meng Tang lowered his head and murmured.
Jiang Yan leaned forward and gave him a hug, "I'm a monster too, we're made for each other, aren't we?"
When Meng Tang heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Oh, yes, the gift." Meng Tang suddenly said hurriedly, and then began to grope for something in his clothes.
Jiang Yan looked at his actions and asked, "What's wrong?"
Meng Tang said: "Give gifts to people you like."
Jiang Yan asked, "Are you talking about a token of love?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yan saw Meng Tang holding a black thing in front of him. He took it with confusion, put it in his palm and examined it carefully, and found that it was a pile of broken parts, burnt wires, and some fragments that looked a bit like the outline of a heart.
"Are these from your original body?"
Meng Tang nodded heavily, and then asked cautiously: "Hmm...so, will you like it?"
"Of course, but I don't think I have any gift for you." Jiang Yan propped up his head and thought for a while, and suddenly he understood, "By the way, come closer."
Meng Tang leaned towards Jiang Yan in a daze, and the next second, he felt a sudden warmth on his mechanical face. He tilted his head and found that it was Jiang Yan who kissed him.
!!!
Suddenly, Jiang Yan felt that the robot in front of him suddenly had a "fever". Its whole body became scorching hot, and there was a faint feeling of steam coming out.
"Ouch, the host is overloaded again."
The robot's language center system was also a little burned out, so he trotted to the bathroom and turned on the faucet to pour the water over himself.
"Won't this cause a short circuit?"
Jiang Yan leaned against the door and asked with some confusion.
The robot shrank into the corner, like a shy little hamster, and did not move.
At night, the two lay in bed together.
Jiang Yan stared at the ceiling and asked absentmindedly, "Why do you always want to have a baby with me in your dreams? Really, it almost scared me to death several times."
The robot rolled its eyes. "If we have a child of our own, we will be considered normal people. My data shows that a normal family consists of three people: the father, the mother, and the child."
"..." Jiang Yan was silent, "Then tell me, who is the father and who is the mother?"
"Hmm..." The robot thought for a while and then whispered, "...Wife?"
Jiang Yan was shocked by this unexpected address, "Why did you call me that?"
The robot covered its eyes and called out several times, "Wife, wife."
Jiang Yan was a little helpless, "Okay."
The next day, Jiang Yan and the robot got up early to buy breakfast, and then took a walk in the park. The weather was good today, with clouds rolling in the sky and the air filled with the faint scent of flowers.
"Ginger salt, milk."
After Meng Tang bought the milk and came back to hand it to Jiang Yan, he found that Jiang Yan was staring at a mother and son not far away.
Meng Tang quickly searched his information database and boldly guessed: "Jiang Yan, do you want a child of ours?"
When Jiang Yan heard this, he suddenly woke up, "Ah, no."
He just remembered the mother and son on the overpass.
Meng Tang had already made secret plans in his mind.
A few days later, the company
After graduating from college, Jiang Yan stayed in a design institute to work, mainly responsible for some micro AI aspects.
"Hi, Jiang Yan, there's a good-looking guy downstairs looking for you."
"good."
Taking advantage of the lunch break, Jiang Yan went downstairs and found Meng Tang squatting by the grass.
“Meow.”
Jiang Yan walked over and found a kitten inside. A colleague passed by and kindly reminded him, "The mother of this cat died yesterday, and all the other kittens were taken away. This kitten has a problem with its legs, so no one wants it."
Meng Tang touched the kitten's head, turned to look at Jiang Yan, with some expectation in his eyes, "Jiang Yan, let's take him in."
Jiang Yan curled his eyes and said, "Sure."
After get off work, Jiang Yan found Meng Tang waiting for him at the company gate holding a cat, and the light from the street lamp lengthened his shadow.
"You won't be here all the time?"
Meng Tang nodded honestly, "It seems like I have nothing else to do."
Jiang Yan looked at the cat in Meng Tang's arms and said, "Now you have something you can do."
On the way home, Meng Tang suddenly said, "No, I still have to find a job, but what can I do?"
"Ah, the barbecue restaurant downstairs is hiring. The money I used to buy you a cake last time was earned from my part-time job there. They also praised me for my speed, saying that I was as fast and accurate as a robot, and that I could grill the meat to perfection. They were reluctant to let me go."
Jiang Yan listened carefully and praised: "Well, you are great."
"This is a must." Meng Tang said, and suddenly began to read his own machine clauses, "Robot Principles: 1. Do not be a useless robot. 2. Do not harm humans. 3. Love your wife well!"
"You didn't just add this three, did you?"
Meng Tang shook his head, "I added it a long time ago."
Jiang Yan was slightly surprised.
Could it be that Meng Tang had liked him earlier than expected?
After returning home, Meng Tang went to pick up a express delivery.
After Jiang Yan settled the cat down, he left the room and looked at Meng Tang who was unpacking a package and asked, "What did you buy?"
"Our children."
"Ah?!" Jiang Yan's pupils suddenly dilated, and he watched Meng Tang take out an oversized express box. "Are you serious?"
This robot wouldn't be unaware that this is illegal, right?
There are also iron boxes, which is a bit...
Jiang Yan's mind suddenly emerged with the provisions of the Criminal Law, etc. These laws are all aimed at people.
OK, this robot still slipped through the net.
But the next second, Jiang Yan quickly breathed a sigh of relief, because the robot was holding not a child, but a person who looked like a combination of the two of them.
"I used the remaining intact parts of my previous body to let Xu Qian and the others give birth to a child for me."
Meng Tang held the small robot in front of Jiang Yan, and heard a "ding" sound in his ear, "--turn on!"
“Mommy!”
As soon as the little robot opened his eyes, he called Jiang Yan "Mommy".
Jiang Yan: “???”
He was a little bit amused.
That night.
A family of three and a cat are lying on a bed. The picture looks a bit funny, but for them, it is very warm and loving.
Jiang Yan hugged the strawberry bear on the bed, which was bought by his mother. He thought tenderly: Mom must be very happy at this moment.
"Mommy, I'm sleepy."
The little robot came over and wanted to hug Jiang Yan. Jiang Yan rubbed the tin doll in front of him and said a little awkwardly: "Be good, go to sleep."
The large robot beside him looked at the scene and curled his lips. After a moment, he put his hand on his chest, feeling the beating electronic heart inside, which became warm and hot. First, he learned to love, and second, he had an important person hidden in his heart.
——He carved a name on his heart, Jiang Yan.
