But not long after, a new neighbor moved in upstairs.
The new neighbor works in a flower shop in the city and is a good-looking guy. Xin Huai was stunned for a moment when such a person knocked on his door.
"Excuse me, I just moved in upstairs. The landlord informed me at work today that a water pipe burst. I was wondering if any water leaked into your house."
Xin Huai hadn't seen such a polite young man for a long time. He responded and wanted to look back at the ceiling, but he only saw robots standing behind him like a wall of diamonds.
"No, no."
The new neighbor asked in confusion, "Really? The upstairs bathroom is full..."
As he spoke, he subconsciously stuck his head out, but Xin Huai, feeling guilty, half-closed the door with a "click".
"The house is a bit messy." Xin Huai smiled.
"Yeah, okay, that's okay." The new neighbor added his contact information and then turned and left.
As soon as the door was closed, Xin Huai pulled 1 back and said, "Didn't we say we should be careful? We can't let other people see us."
1's eyes flashed, and the two small lights flickered like electric current.
Xin Huai was busy checking the roof. He looked at the other person's back, counting the almost overlapping heartbeats, and said no more.
At the same time the next day, the door was knocked again. It was the new neighbor with a youthful face, bringing a light blue flower.
"It fell when I was cutting the branches today. It's very beautiful. I'm giving it to you."
Xin Huai did not refuse this kindness and put the flowers in the vase.
The next morning, the vase was empty. 1 reported seriously that there were some flying insects in the house, so he had to act first and report later.
At the same time in the afternoon, Xin Huai finished taking a shower at home and there was another knock on the door. This time, the new neighbor brought a bunch of baby's breath.
There are new decorations in the flower pots.
On the third day, Xin Huai met his new neighbor on his way home. The two exchanged a few words and took the elevator back upstairs. It turned out that the other party was also a natural person. He was not used to the high-pressure government work, so he moved to another city to start a new life and opened a small flower shop.
That day, Xin Huai returned home with a pale pink rose on his chest.
Two weeks later, the new neighbor invited Xin Huai out for dinner, and Xin Huai agreed.
1 Watching Xin Huai changing clothes in front of the mirror, he tried on many clothes and picked out a pure white shirt with silver thread decoration on it. It looked very beautiful when he wore it under the light.
1 I feel like there is something wrong with my chip, as if it is overloaded and the fever cannot be reduced.
1 stopped doing housework and sat next to the table where the dishes had not been put away yet.
It watched Xin Huai walk out of the house quickly without looking at it again.
The appointment that night didn't happen. Xin Huaicai had just left the house when the call came from his hometown hospital: his mother had fallen on her way to work and was now in the emergency room.
Xin Huai was stunned and didn't have time to tell anyone. He hurriedly drove back overnight.
When they arrived at the hospital, the patient had not yet left the operating table. Xin Huai followed the instructions and went to pay the bill. He used all the money in his bank card. After a busy night, he was finally sent to the intensive care unit.
When the sun rose, Xin Huai finally had the chance to ask for leave and apologize to his new neighbor on the phone.
The person on the phone had a cold tone, and Xin Huai felt a little guilty. After all, he was the one who broke the appointment, so he thought of treating the other party when he got back.
The watch started beeping to remind him to get up, and Xin Huai then remembered that there was a diligent and responsible 1 at home. 1 was not connected to the external network and did not know the situation. Xin Huai thought it was stupid to call the AI robot, but he still called.
My mother accidentally stepped on the wrong step and hit the back of her head. The spot was too small and she has been in a coma ever since and has not woken up.
Xin Huai took a leave and stayed in a hotel. After his mother was discharged from special care, he was worried about the caregiver, so Xin Huai went to take care of her himself every day.
On the third day after not returning home, Xin Huai had a reversed day and night cycle and hadn't slept for five or six hours in three days. He had a scruffy beard and looked exhausted, even weaker than the person lying in bed.
The nurse couldn't bear to watch it anymore and wanted to persuade the other person to rest. Just as she was about to speak, a tall man in black clothes walked straight to Xin Huai.
Under Xin Huai's confused eyes, he picked up the other person and placed him on the accompanying bed.
The nurse was stunned. The man opened his mouth and whispered, "I'm his lover."
The nurse nodded in understanding and pushed the nursing cart shut.
Xin Huai was pinched under his armpits and couldn't move. He squinted his eyes and looked at the man in front of him, trying his best to stay clear-headed.
"You are……"
The answer was right on the tip of his tongue, but Xin Huai felt he shouldn't say it.
The man was more direct and firm than him, his lips of just the right thickness mimicking the shape and feel of a human: "I am 1."
-------------------------------------
Xin Huai wanted to say something else, but his eyes were covered by those hands. The immense fatigue swept over him like an overwhelming ocean, and he fell into a deep sleep.
1 He put his arm around Xin Huai's waist and looked intently at the face he had seen countless times.
When he woke up again, it was already night. When the chief physician came to check on him and explained the situation, Xin Huai struggled to wake up, and there was finally some color on his lips.
My mother was well taken care of and had her medicine on, but she was still in a coma. Xin Huai sat stiffly beside the man, listening to the chief physician call him out and give him psychological support.
His mother's condition isn't good, and he should be prepared to never wake up.
Xin Huai was unwilling to give up, he just walked back to the ward silently. At this time, he had no intention of pursuing 1's actions, he just covered his head and said nothing.
With 1's help, not only he but also his mother could be taken care of better. Unable to take leave all the time, Xin Huai calculated his savings and took time off to go back and buy the house. The urgent sale forced him to lower the price quite a bit, but at least he had cash in hand right away.
Xin Huai also went back to the institute to submit a resignation application. The team leader comforted him for a long time, and finally told him to go back to take care of people first. His position would be vacant when there were no more vacancies for natural persons in the institute. The team leader would contact them to transfer him back to his city, and then transfer a natural person back from there.
After finishing the task, it was already dark. He watched the moving company's truck drive away. Finally, Xin Huai went upstairs to say goodbye to his neighbors.
The neighbor opened the door. He had a bandage around his neck and his face was a little swollen. When he saw it was Xin Huai, he immediately slammed the door without waiting for him to say hello.
Xin Huai's "I'm sorry" was stuck in his throat, and the communication device vibrated to remind him.
[Don't come to me if you have nothing to do.]
Your husband will misunderstand.
As the night wind blew, Xin Huai's sweat flowed from his back to his waistband, sticking wetly to his pants, making him feel uncomfortable.
He looked up at the closed door, then lowered his head and replied:
[I'm moving out from now on.]
The reply was also very fast:
[That's perfect.]
Xin Huai wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to start. His hand trembled and he typed a comma, and found that the other party had blocked him.
At this time, there was another shock.
It's a call from 1.
Xin Huai did not take the elevator, but slowly walked down the stairs step by step. He answered the phone.
The moment the call was connected, the voice of Number 1 came. It was not an electronic sound, but a deep voice like that of an adult male:
He said, "Xin Huai, where are you?"
