After I traveled through the book, I gained a humanoid pendant

The next day, uninvited guests came to the house.

Xin Huai got up very early that day. While Xin Buyi was still cooking in the kitchen, he was already sitting on the sofa in the living room on the first floor.

Xin Buyi's hand, which was chopping green onions, suddenly stopped. He washed it briefly and walked to the door. Without waiting for the person outside to raise their hand to knock on the door, Xin Buyi opened it first.

The person outside the door with his hands raised didn't seem very surprised.

That was Xin Huai's team leader.

"Hello." The team leader said first.

Xin Buyi didn't show any expression, just nodded slightly. He turned around and looked at Xin Huai, but Xin Huai was just wearing a short-sleeved shirt and long pants, sitting on the sofa without saying a word.

The team leader smiled a little.

"Long time no see, Xin Huai."

Xin Huai poured a cup of tea, lowered his head and waited for a while before whispering, "Long time no see."

Xin Buyi stood in front of the door, watching the team leader turn around and close the door naturally. He looked his body up and down, then walked around him and stood opposite Xin Huai.

"How have you been these past few years?"

The team leader's tone was familiar, as if he was an old friend who hadn't seen each other for many years.

Xin Huai didn't want to talk much until the team leader waved his hand in front of his eyes. Then he raised his head and looked at the other person's forehead, which was a little balder.

"is acceptable."

The team leader sat down, leaning back with his arms resting on the armrests on both sides.

"What about him?"

After the team leader finished speaking, he glanced at Xin Buyi.

Xin Buyi found the situation before him a little difficult to analyze. He stood quietly. Outside the window, a little bird fluttered and flew up. Its wings made ripples appear in the sun. A thin leaf fell from the tree and was blown away by the wind.

The team leader wore a new shirt specially for the visit, with ironing marks on the front.

Xin Huai didn't look at Xin Buyi, and said in a low voice:

"That's okay."

No one in the room spoke for a moment.

The team leader looked at Xin Buyi, then at Xin Huai, and suddenly asked like someone who had experienced this:

"Are you willing to do so?"

Time in the room seemed to stand still.

Xin Buyi didn't run, nor did he speak or question. He just slowly walked behind Xin Huai.

The team leader looked a little nervous, with his hands in his pockets, as if he was holding something tightly. He leaned back and watched the man getting closer. He stood up from the sofa and leaned his back against the wall.

Xin Buyi placed his hand on Xin Huai's shoulder gently.

Xin Huai didn't say anything, tears streaming down his face. He didn't dare look back at the expression of the person behind him, his mind was in a mess.

"Xin Huai."

He had long been able to simulate human body temperature, and Xin Buyi's fingertips were not cold. The hand on his shoulder was like the last rope on a cliff. Xin Huai felt as if his heart was tied up and dangling in the sky.

"It's fine."

"do not Cry."

Xin Buyi's tone was still gentle, and Xin Huaizhi truly heard his comfort, but it was precisely because he knew what he was saying that his tears kept flowing uncontrollably.

Xin Buyi leaned over and embraced the young man, "I feel very happy to be with Xin Huai."

The team leader didn't look very happy. No matter how harmless the other party looked now, those arms were weapons that could break a human neck in an instant.

"Do I still have time to finish making breakfast for him?"

Xin Buyi raised his head and locked his gaze on the team leader. The man leaning against the wall controlled himself and calmed down.

"Do, cook."

The team leader repeated it, his hand holding the controller in his pocket. With confidence in his heart, he discussed with Xin Huai: "Sooner or later, there will always be such a day, what do you think..."

Xin Huai's tears remained on his chin, like a dewdrop that was about to fall. Xin Buyi lowered his head and looked at his lover, and saw that his lover nodded slightly.

The team leader breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Xin Buyi, but Xin Buyi didn't look at him. He just turned around and came to Xin Huai and knelt on one knee:

"I exist because of Xin Huai. You can control and dispose of everything about me. Don't blame yourself. This is what I should do."

Xin Huai didn't move, as if he didn't hear it, or as if he didn't dare to look up and face it.

Xin Buyi had no tears. He had never installed this module, but he could smile. This was the way he used most to soothe Xin Huai's emotions. He was still like this now, with a smile on his face and his hand touching Xin Huai's hair:

"I love you."

Di-

The person in front of him suddenly lowered his head, and his raised hand fell weakly. Xin Huai had anticipated such a moment on countless nights, but he still burst into tears at this moment.

He thought that perhaps Xin Buyi had anticipated everything the moment before the knock on the door.

Without wearing her usual pajamas, she came to the sofa early, with tea brewed in advance and her love that she had not responded to last night.

The team leader put down the controller in his hand, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and was extremely glad that the mission was completed easily enough. At this time, he comforted Xin Huai and said:

"I know you're a smart person, Xin Huai. The hospital said you've probably guessed it, but I still don't believe it. Thank you for your hard work these past few years. The compensation will be deposited into your bank account, and No. 1's illegal income will be traced back to its source, or go through the procedures to go to a social welfare institution. Don't worry."

The team leader clicked on the screen on his arm and sent something. Outside the window, a flock of birds flew up from the trees.

"I sent for backup. His body is quite well made. Do you know where he had it custom-made?"

Xin Huai hadn't looked at the team leader the entire time. He finally took a deep breath and answered in a trembling, hoarse voice, "The factory in City E...he designed and built the mold himself."

The team leader chuckled twice, and the doorbell really rang this time. The team leader happily went to open the door. More than ten people, armed to the teeth, walked in. Some of them were taking samples in the room, and some came to Xin Huai and lifted up the soundless Xin Buyi.

Xin Huai's gaze followed the pair of limp hands, and the team leader came over and stuffed a hard drive into Xin Huai's hands.

"Although some data will be deleted later for system security, you know, the underlying code is still his. Do you want to go back and do the experiment together..."

"Do not."

Xin Huai shook his head and stopped looking at the closed door.

"Well, that's great news. The compensation is enough for you to marry a beautiful wife... Handsome man, you can live the rest of your life without worries. Even the selected gene bank can provide you with full customization. To be honest, I want this opportunity. The details are on the hard drive. Don't think this hard drive is stupid, this method is the safest."

Xin Huai didn't know that the team leader, as a selected candidate, would be so talkative. He even wished that Tao Yiying came today so that he could stay in the house quietly earlier.

Xin Huai couldn't hear what the team leader said later. When everyone left, he returned to his bed like a ghost.

The sky was not dark, but it seemed to have darkened again. It was bright the moment before, but then it seemed to have darkened again. After a while, or perhaps a long time, it had passed.

Xin Huai got up and went downstairs to find something to eat.

On the kitchen chopping board, there were some chopped green onions that had lost their moisture.

The broccoli used as condiment in the plate next to it was moldy, and the shape of a heart could be vaguely seen on the white porcelain plate.

Xin Huai stood alone in the house.

It seems like I was alone from beginning to end.
