Chapter 287! A Little Interlude

……

6O's words left 2B momentarily speechless. After a long pause, she finally asked, "Why do you say that?"

6O cried her eyes out: "Because I asked a senior I like to have dinner with me, but he rejected me. What am I going to do now?"

"I...I don't know either. But is that all? It's nothing. It's just being rejected. It's not a big deal." 2B tried to comfort 6O with her own thoughts. Shen Ye, who was listening nearby, couldn't help but laugh. Then he covered his ears.

2B didn't understand why they were doing this, but she soon found out.

"Wow……"

Because 6O's crying grew louder, even becoming somewhat shrill.

2B felt a little tired, but she really didn't know how to comfort her, so she looked at Shen Ye with a pleading look in her eyes.

However, Shen Ye wasn't very good at comforting people, especially androids. But 2B's almost pleading eyes made it impossible for him to refuse. After thinking for a moment, he said, "How about... letting her find a target she likes?"

If he were human, his words would definitely have drawn a lot of eye-rolls, but 2B thought it made a lot of sense, so he relayed his words to 6O, which made Shen Ye regret that he shouldn't have said it carelessly.

But to everyone's surprise, 6O responded: "Change to a more likable target... that sounds feasible, so, does 2B need me?"

Shen Ye noticed that 2B's expression clearly froze for a moment when she heard this, as if she understood the meaning behind 6's words.

After a pause, 2B said, "A communications officer is indispensable for the B-type fighter, so of course I need you."

"That's not what I meant, I meant..."

Before 6O could finish speaking, the communication was unilaterally terminated by 2B. She then looked at Shen Ye with great dissatisfaction, her pleading gaze turning into a resentful one.

In response, Shen Ye turned his head away innocently, pretending not to see it.

The incident involving 6 was just a minor episode on the return trip.

Not long after the communication was cut off, the group returned to the rebel camp and went directly to find Anne Morning.

Annie Morning remained in the same spot, and when she saw them return, she waved to them from a distance.

After everyone approached, she said to 2B, "Thank you for your hard work. Have you figured out why the androids went missing?"

“Yes, we’ve found out.” 2B nodded and continued, “But I’m sorry, they had already been killed by the machine lifeforms when we got there. We were too late, but we’ve already taken care of the machine lifeforms that killed them.”

“They’ve already taken them down, which proves their sacrifice was worthwhile,” Annie Morning said magnanimously, but everyone could clearly see the fleeting sadness on her face.

Seeing the atmosphere gradually becoming somber, Shen Ye spoke up at the opportune moment: "By the way, we encountered a mechanical life form there who called himself a pacifist, named Pascal. Do you remember him?"

“You’ve encountered them.” Annie Morning glanced at the wooden basket of fruit that everyone had placed at their feet and smiled. “It seems you’re getting along quite well.”

"They're so friendly, we can't refuse their kindness," Shen Ye said. At that moment, he felt a little thirsty, so he picked up a piece of fruit, wiped it on his clothes, and took a big bite.

"Hmm, it tastes pretty good, would you like to try it too?"

A2 and the others shook their heads. They had already eaten on the way back, so only Annie Morning picked up one, but she didn't eat it. She just played with it in her hand, and then she asked, "Pascal, did you ask you to deliver something else?"

“Yes.” Shen Ye nodded, then glanced at Yakoll, who immediately handed the oil filter wrapped in cloth to Annie Morning.

"There shouldn't be anything else to do, right?" Shen Ye asked again.

Annie Morning shook her head: "Nothing for now. You can take a good rest during this time. If I need your help again, I will let you know."

"Then we'll be going now, goodbye." Shen Ye waved his hand, but left a basket of fruit for Annie Moning before leaving.

……

Shen Ye didn't go back with A2 and the others; instead, he took a basket of fruit to visit the twin sisters.

It was already the morning of the second day, a busy time for the twin sisters. When Shen Ye arrived, they were diligently processing the parts that the resistance had collected from the mechanical lifeforms. They didn't even notice when Shen Ye walked up to them. When Shen Ye placed the basket of fruit heavily in front of them, they thought it was a new batch of parts and didn't even look up.

Divala carefully placed the cleaned parts aside, and as if sensing that the person hadn't left yet, said, "Just leave the things here. We'll take care of them as soon as possible. Don't worry, we won't slack off."

Shen Ye sighed helplessly, feeling sorry for them, and simply walked over and squatted down in front of them.

His action startled the two sisters, who thought he was coming to cause them trouble. However, when they saw that it was Shen Ye, their expressions of fear immediately turned into surprise.

"Shen, you scared me to death! I thought you were here to cause trouble!" Popola patted her chest, still shaken.

Hearing this made Shen Ye feel even worse, and as if possessed, he reached out and touched the two sisters' heads.

His actions stunned the two sisters, but they did not resist; instead, they felt reassured.

However, the sisters blushed due to their female modesty, and Popola whispered, "Shen, you can't just touch a girl's head like that."

“Even girls who have lived for thousands of years are the same,” she added to herself.

Shen Ye just smiled, but didn't remove his hand. Instead, he rubbed it a few more times with even more force before withdrawing his hand under the reproachful scolding of the two sisters.

After watching the twin sisters tidying each other's messy hair for a while, resting his chin on his hand, Shen Ye found them increasingly adorable. He then took out a camera and captured this heartwarming scene.

……

Chapter 288! Heartwarming

……

clack clack...

Shen Ye took more than a dozen photos in one go before finally putting away his camera with satisfaction. Then he sat down next to Divara and helped them clean the oil-stained parts.

As the saying goes, teamwork makes the dream work. This applies not only to men but also to women. With Shen Ye around, the twin sisters were less gloomy and their hands moved much more nimbly. Moreover, with one more person, their workload was reduced by a third. Before long, they had finished all the work for the morning.

Although most androids would assign some dirty and tiring work to the twin sisters, they wouldn't exploit them too much. In fact, there weren't many truly dirty and tiring jobs in the camp, so under normal circumstances, as long as there weren't any major operations, the twin sisters wouldn't have a very hard time. Once they finished their tasks, they could rest freely.

Afterwards, Divala brought a basin of water from somewhere and placed it in front of Shen Ye. She also carefully found a bar of soap and handed it to him. It was a few days ago that Yakor had given to them. After all, their work involved dealing with oil stains a lot, and since they came from the human era, they valued personal hygiene very much. This coincided with Yakor's love of cleanliness, so they had a common topic.

Seeing the soap being handed to him, Shen Ye didn't reach out to take it, but instead said, "You guys go ahead and wash."

If it were any other android, the twin sisters would definitely refuse, since they have a program within them that makes them feel guilty towards all androids. That program has almost turned them into people-pleasing personalities. However, every time they face Shen Ye, they find that the program doesn't work. This is also why they like being with Shen Ye.

Of course, they were also curious as to why the program didn't work on Shen Ye, but no matter how they thought about it, they couldn't figure out why.

The two sisters quickly cleaned off the oil stains stuck to their bodies, but just as Shen Ye was about to wash, Divara took the basin away, seemingly intending to change the water for him.

Shen Ye paused for a moment, then said, "I don't mind."

“But we mind,” Divala said.

Realizing her words might be ambiguous, Divala added, "I meant the water has already been polluted by us, and we don't want to..."

“I know what you mean.” Shen Ye interrupted her before she could finish speaking. He put his hands in the water to wash off the dirt, then held them up in front of the twin sisters and said with a double meaning, “You see, they’re clean now, so you… aren’t dirty.”

……

Since there was still some time before the deadline, Shen Ye didn't go back immediately. Instead, he followed the twin sisters back to their residence.

The twin sisters' living situation has changed drastically, and they've moved to a new building under the eaves of a different house—a move that Shen Ye had insisted on a few days ago, and the location was also something Shen Ye had asked Annie Morning for.

To be honest, Annie Morning also felt quite sorry for the twin sisters' plight. Although she didn't like them much because of what had happened in the past, she was more open-minded than most androids because she could make deals with mechanical life forms. So when Shen Ye asked, she agreed without even needing A2 to act as an intermediary.

Popola carried the basket of fruit to a drier spot, then selected a few of the better quality ones and went to the ice maker to start making ice cream.

Divallos, on the other hand, simply pulled out a bottle of wine, and judging from his posture, he probably wanted to have a good drink.

Shen Ye naturally wouldn't refuse. Having spent so long in the world of artificial humans, he cherished this anthropomorphic life more and more. He wasn't an ascetic; used to modern life, he simply couldn't get used to this relatively simple life.

Watching Divara pour himself a full glass of fruit wine, Shen Ye picked it up and drank it all in one gulp. Feeling the spicy liquid flow from his throat into his stomach, he let out a long breath and shouted, "Awesome!"

He suddenly remembered that he had heard Revy and Coco say that after a great battle, one should drink something to relieve fatigue, and now it seemed that this was indeed true.

However, when he thought of them, Shen Ye lowered his eyes slightly, feeling inexplicably sad. Come to think of it, it had been a long time since he had seen them.

"After this world ends, I should go back to the biohazard world. No matter what, I can't favor one over the other and forget the old when I have new ones."

Shen Ye vividly remembered the first world he visited. The past was still clear in his mind. Moreover, because he had met so many women, he gradually became more open-minded and missed Ada and Jill even more. Especially Jill, he now understood why Jill was so lonely when they parted.

"Sigh!" Shen Ye then let out a deep sigh.

Looking at Shen Ye, who suddenly became sad, Divara couldn't understand why he was like this, but she didn't ask anything. She just poured Shen Ye another glass of wine.

"I don't know why you've suddenly become a little sad, but it's okay. Just drink some alcohol. If you drink too much, you'll forget all your sadness," Divala said earnestly to Shen Ye.

For thousands of years, this has been her life. Whenever she was bullied by other artificial beings, she would choose to numb herself with alcohol, even though she didn't actually like drinking.

Seeing Divalla's concerned expression, Shen Ye felt quite warm-hearted. He then nodded and raised his glass to clink with Divalla's.

After his physical abilities improved, Shen Ye enjoyed drinking much more than before. As a android, Deivara was affected by alcohol, but she did not get sick or suffer from complications due to excessive drinking. So the two of them finished their drinks in one go.

Just as Diva was refilling Shen Ye's cup, Popola came over with several servings of ice cream and placed the largest one in front of Shen Ye.

Seeing that the combined ice cream in front of the twin sisters was less than his, Shen Ye sighed inwardly, knowing that the sisters' people-pleasing personalities were acting up again, so he shared some of his ice cream with them.

The two sisters did not refuse; they simply smiled at him and began to enjoy the rare delicacy.

Shen Ye quickly devoured half of the ice cream. The cold temperature instantly dispelled the intoxication from the two glasses of fruit wine. He then smacked his lips and said, "It tastes really good. I wish I could eat your ice cream every day."
