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

After saying that, Xie Ci placed a gentle kiss on the back of Xie Yi's neck as a way of comforting her.

He stood up when he heard the noise outside getting closer.

The door was forcefully opened by someone outside.

"Major General Lu, Miss Xie is here."

The sharp-eyed waiter was surprised and relieved, but before he could be happy for long, he was met with a thank you gaze from inside, which was cold and indifferent.

The waiter was stunned for a moment, then quickly left this place of trouble after being signaled by the other party.

The door was closed, leaving only Xie Ci, Xie Yi and Lu Zhuoxing in the empty room.

Lu Zhuoxing walked into the room and saw Xie Ci standing side by side with Xie Yi. He looked displeased and went straight over to Xie Yi, took her hand and put it behind her back, putting some distance between them.

"Thank you, what did you do?"

As soon as Xie Yi saw Lu Zhuoxing, she seemed to have found some support. She backed away and hid behind him, lowering her head and refusing to look in Xie Ci's direction.

Xie Ci sneered and licked the tip of his teeth with his tongue, which seemed to still retain the soft touch of Xie Yi's skin.

"What can I do? I just want to chat with an old acquaintance. Is that not okay?"

Lu Zhuoxing didn't believe his lies.

He was suddenly called away by his father to be criticized, so he took this opportunity to be alone with Xie Yi. No one would believe him if he said it was a coincidence.

He never liked giving thanks in the first place, and now he didn't even bother to hide his emotions.

"Xie Ci, was it you who caused my father to suddenly send me a message just now? I made a mistake in the task that took me a long time to complete, and I was scolded by my father."

Xie Ci refused to take the blame. He casually fiddled with the watch on his hand, with a half-smile on his face.

"Major Lu, are you blaming others for your mistakes in your duties? I don't know how you climbed to this position. You didn't rely on your father being a marshal as others say, did you?"

His words were sharp and hit hard where Lu Zhuoxing cared most.

Lu Zhuoxing's face turned red, and he almost wanted to rush up and "argue" with his fists, but Xie Ci suddenly lost the desire to argue.

"I'm leaving now. It's boring. I'm going home."

Xie Ci took a few steps forward and stopped when he passed by Xie Yi.

Xie Yi had her head down originally, and when she noticed the motionless black leather shoes on the ground, she raised her head and saw Xie Ci smiling at her.

After laughing, he spoke silently:

"Yi, Yi, wait. I'll take you home."

He spoke each word clearly, making sure Xie Yi read every word he said clearly.

Xie Yi felt a chill down her spine and began to feel a dull pain in the back of her neck again. She quickly lowered her head, not daring to meet his gaze.

'There is ample time.'

Xie Ci saw the small swirl in Xie Yi's black hair when she lowered her head, smiled slightly, and left towards the door without waiting for Lu Zhuoxing to notice and look over.

It doesn't matter if he hides from him now. He is not in a hurry. Everything is ready anyway.

She would eventually come back to him.

-

The door was opened and closed.

There were only two people left in the room.

Lu Zhuoxing turned around and held Xie Yi's shoulders, asking with concern:

"Are you okay? He didn't do anything to you?"

Lu Zhuoxing felt a little regretful now. He showed off in front of Xie Ci with Xie Yi. Seeing the frustration and unwillingness in his eyes, he felt really refreshed.

But Xie Ci has always coveted Xie Yi. He has never given up and always looks for opportunities to see her and even wants to take her away.

This made Lu Zhuoxing feel uncomfortable.

But today, I also blame myself.

Originally, apart from him, Xie Yi had no other interpersonal relationships, and he left her alone in the banquet hall, which gave Xie Ci the opportunity to take advantage of her.

In fact, there were many occasions and banquets where he didn't need to show up. He brought Xie Yi along to show off in order to show off his presence and stir up Xie Ci's mood.

In the past, Lu Zhuoxing didn't take Xie Yi seriously. He just regarded her as a tool to defeat Xie Ci's show-off, but now, he regretted it.

He didn't want Xie Yi to appear in front of him now. He wanted to live in a world of their own with Xie Yi.

Lu Zhuoxing suppressed his emotions, hugged Xie Yi into his arms, and comforted her:

"Yiyi, we won't come to any unnecessary banquets in the future. As long as the two of us are together, that's all."

Xie Yi thought of what Xie Ci had done today and felt a little scared. She leaned on Lu Zhuoxing and nodded with lingering fear.

"Well, I'll just be at home. It would be even better if you can spend time with me."

Lu Zhuoxing was about to agree when he suddenly thought of something he learned today and his expression became embarrassed.

"Yiyi, I'm leaving home tomorrow to go somewhere else. I have an important mission to complete, and I should be back in half a month, or at most a month."

"When I come back, I will definitely accompany you, okay?"

Xie Yi thought about it. She had recently been connecting herself to the smart network and learning some things through searching. This could be done completely at home without going out.

Probably, there won’t be any thanks.

Xie Yi raised her head, her eyes moist, and kissed him lightly on the face, saying sweetly:

"It's okay, go ahead. I'll be fine at home alone."

"I will definitely come back as soon as possible."

Lu Zhuoxing hugged the person in his arms tighter.

Some things don't develop according to people's wishes.

-

The day after Lu Zhuoxing left, the institute issued a statement to the whole country.

According to Professor Xie’s findings: companion robots with batch number ART have unknown faults and all need to be recalled.

This batch of companion robots was the first batch of companion robots. Later, during Xie's leave, other people in the institute upgraded the robots and launched robots with more functions.

When Xie Ci returned to the research institute, he brought major breakthroughs in related fields, and there were more and more newer and more powerful robots.

By this time, the original batch of robots had become obsolete.

At the same time as the institute announced the recall of the robot, it issued another statement.

Citizens whose robots have been recalled can go and get a new robot from the latest batch, or even choose robots with different functions according to their needs.

The new robot was more expensive and better functioned than the original one, and it completely made up for its losses.

What's more, Xie Ci himself said that the robot had a malfunction, so almost everyone took the initiative to send the robot back to the research institute.

The robot owned by Lu Zhuoxing, code-named 001 Xie Yi, is also a robot from this batch.

He understood Xie Ci's ill intentions and would not be tempted by benefits, so he would definitely not take the initiative to seek a replacement.

But the key point is that he didn't know this news.

When the news spread across the country, Lu Zhuoxing had been secretly sent to a remote place to carry out a mission.

There was no one living there, so Lu Zhuoxing couldn't even receive any news from Country Y, let alone contact Xie Yi.

The only one who escaped the net, Xie Yi, was sent back to the institute by Marshal Lu instead of him.
