Immersive Fast Wear: The Anti-Strike Manual of the Heartthrob

Xie Ci did not click on the "watch", but turned his gaze to Xie Yi and asked with an unclear expression.

"Yiyi, why did you take the initiative to invite Assistant Zhan to have dinner today?"

Xie Yi had already thought of an explanation for this question, and replied naturally:

"Assistant Zhan is your assistant, Ah Ci. He came here specially to give you a birthday present today, so I have to greet him."

There is nothing wrong with this answer.

But it was so perfect that Xie Ci was certain of some things.

He didn't want to beat around the bush anymore, so he just clicked on the smart butler, and an invisible blue screen appeared in front of the two of them.

The above is what Xie Ci asked the smart butler to investigate about Zhan Ruxuan.

The content displayed on the screen clearly stated: The information Zhan Ruxuan obtained about his birthday and address all came from the location where they were standing.

It is obvious even with your eyes closed that Xie Ci could not be the messenger, so it is obvious who the person who conveyed the message was.

Xie Yi could have used some means to erase her traces of use, but she didn't think she needed to hide, which was why the smart butler's investigation efficiency was so high.

"You did all this? You staged a quarrel with me?"

Xie Ci tried hard to suppress his anger and sorrow, and squeezed out the questioning words from his dry throat.

Xie Yi nodded without any hesitation: "Yes."

The professor would probably agree with her or even praise her. Although she didn't know why the professor didn't cooperate with her in the next stage before, she successfully completed it through her own efforts.

"I am indeed the best among that group of robots."

Such a thought with obvious self-awareness vaguely arose in Xie Yi's mind.

Xie Ci read Xie Yi's unspoken thoughts from her expression, and instantly felt as if his heart was poured with cold water.

He thought they were in love, but in fact, in Xie Yi's view, wasn't everything just instructions written in the program?

Xie Ci had a wry smile on his face, and he suddenly thought of what Lu Zhuoxing had said when he criticized his research.

Lu Zhuoxing said: A robot is just a robot, it will never understand the emotions between humans, and he/she will never become a true lover/relative/friend of humans.

He used to think that robots could play corresponding human roles even without understanding, but now he suddenly understood the deeper meaning.

Xie Ci was unwilling to admit this fact, his eyes were red, and he spoke angrily:

"Xie Yi! Are you doing all these things on purpose, just for the necessary adjustment phase on the data?"

Xie Ci was not actually afraid of quarrels or conflicts with Xie Yi. What he was afraid of was that Xie Yi would treat the past sweetness as a task;

What I fear is pouring all my passion and enthusiasm into an abyss that will never respond.

What I am afraid of is that my feelings will become a joke.

Xie Yi didn't understand why Professor Xie's eyes were gleaming with fire.

Two months have passed in the three-month period. We have to complete the task without missing a single detail. Now we have to move on to the next stage.

Otherwise it will delay the progress of the task.

Xie Yi couldn't process such complicated psychological information. She tilted her head with a confused look in her eyes and called Xie Ci softly as she usually did in her playful way.

"Aci——"

Xie Ci now had a deep understanding of what it was like to be heartbroken and how it manifested itself in a person.

He opened the smart butler on his wrist and called Zhan Ruxuan.

"Assistant Zhan, I will be back at the institute tomorrow. Please notify the people there."

"And," Xie Ci hesitated for a few seconds and continued:

"Apply for me to stay in the research institute for half a year."

On the other side, Zhan Ruxuan, who received the call, was a little surprised and stunned.

"Professor, didn't you apply for a three-month leave? Why do you want to come back a month early? And you also applied to live in the institute?"

Xie Ci didn't know why.

Perhaps it was when he discovered that Xie Yi didn't love him that he realized he had fallen in love with a robot that didn't understand emotions.

Perhaps, it is just to remember the purpose of my initial research.

In short, no matter what the reason was, after discovering that everything Xie Yi did was to carry out orders, the first thought that came to Xie Ci's mind at that moment was to escape.

Escape from reality, escape from Xie Yi, escape from anyone or anything that makes him feel uncomfortable.

There was only one month left in the agreed time, and now he didn't want to care about anything. All the research that was so important to him was hidden deep down and not thought about anymore.

As for Lu Zhuoxing coming over in a month, the worst that could happen is that I would just make a public apology statement for the failed research.

Anyway, Xie Ci didn't want to continue to indulge in the bitter mood.

"Professor, professor?" There was no answer from the other end of the phone, so Zhan Ruxuan raised her voice.

Xie Ci came back to his senses and spoke coldly:

"Don't worry about it. Just do as I ask."

Xie Ci hung up the phone, glanced at the scarf folded into a small square on the sofa, closed his eyes tightly, and walked out the door firmly.

He raised his foot, but a force behind him stopped him from leaving.

Xie Ci couldn't help but feel secretly happy. He turned around and saw that it was Xie Yi who was holding the corner of his clothes, just as he had guessed.

"What are you pulling me for?"

Xie Ci deliberately restrained his expression and spoke lightly.

"Ah Ci, where are you going?"

Xie Yi, however, looked confused.

She still didn't understand why Xie Ci was angry and why he wanted to leave here.

The secret joy shattered and dissipated.

Xie Ci lowered his eyelashes, his voice sounding helpless and painful.

"Xie Yi, since you don't understand, don't stop me."

"Kick, kick, kick."

Xie Yi's hand that was grabbing the corner of her clothes was firmly pushed away, and the heavy footsteps gradually faded away.

That night, Xie Ci slept in a hotel near the institute.

The next day, he returned to the institute.

"Director, no, Assistant Zhan should stay with Professor Li."

Xie Ci refused the director's kindness in helping him recall his assistant.

As soon as he thought of what Xie Yi said yesterday, that Assistant Zhan had unusual feelings for him, he didn't want Zhan Ruxuan to continue being his assistant.

As long as people have selfish desires, many things will become unpredictable.

The thank you speech should eliminate this possibility.

The first thing I did when I returned to the research was to reject the assistant;

The second thing was to move into the institute;

The third thing is to revisit those previously shelved and imaginative research projects.

He was not necessarily rational now, and needed to find something to suppress what was in his heart, but he could not find important research, so as not to cause immeasurable damage.

This kind of confusing, tedious and unimportant novel research is most suitable.

For three days, Xie Ci was so "obsessed" with his research that he couldn't remember what had happened and thought his turbulent mood had calmed down.

But when Xie Yi appeared in front of him, things were no longer under his control.
