God's Gift

Chapter 519 Weixi

"Yuzu."

Su Yun's voice sounded from behind, bringing Yu Youyou back to her senses.

Yu Youyou wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, turned around and walked towards Su Yun. She bent down and sat down next to Su Yun, pulled her into her arms, and gently stroked her back.

Su Yun's face grew paler and paler, and blood dripped from the corners of her parched lips, the only color on her face.

Her gaze drifted vaguely in the direction Xiao Ou had left, feeling the gentle caress of Youyou on her back, and a slight smile played on her lips.

“When Xiao Ou was even younger, I would always pat her back like this to lull her to sleep.”

Su Yun looked up at Yu Youyou, raised her hand to stroke Yu Youyou's soft cheek, and her voice grew softer:

"Did she become a good mother?"

Yu Youyou paused, then looked down at Su Yun. After a long silence, she resumed her actions, gently stroking Su Yun's back as if coaxing a child, her voice slow and gentle: "Of course."

"She is the best mother."

“But I’m not a good mother.” Su Yun paused, her gaze fixed on the distance, before continuing after a long while:

“I keep thinking, is it too selfish of me to leave her like this, leaving her alone in this world?”

But she was just too tired.

Sometimes she couldn't tell whether cancer was a misfortune or a blessing for her.

“There’s no such thing as selfishness or not,” Yu Youyou said softly. “You’re not just her mother, you’re also yourself.”

Su Yun smiled gently, took Yu Youyou's other hand, and examined it closely, a hint of emotion appearing in her dull eyes:

"She must love you very much to have raised you so well."

“She loves you very much too.” Yu Youyou hugged Su Yun and gently pressed her warm cheek against Su Yun’s face. “She always talks about you.”

“She would talk about you when she stopped me from eating everything.”

"She said she was a picky eater when she was little, and you always patiently made her different foods. She said you always tried to find other foods besides cookies that she could accept."

Su Yun asked, "Did she eat cookies after that?"

“I’m not eating them.” Yu Youyou shook her head. “The seawater always soaks the cookies soggy, and she says that soaked cookies taste like rotten fat.”

"But I thought they were delicious, so I ended up eating all of them."

Su Yun laughed out loud, the faint smile making her chest tremble: "That's good, otherwise eating those cookies all the time won't provide enough nutrition."

Yu Youyou smiled and continued, "When she tells me bedtime stories, she also mentions you."

“She said that when she was little, the bedtime stories you told her were all science articles, but I didn’t like listening to those science articles at all, I only liked listening to fairy tales.”

She said I didn't inherit any of your genes.

Su Yun laughed again, her body trembling slightly. "That's good too. Children should listen to fairy tales like children."

"She also said..."

Yu Youyou's voice continued, and the warm sunlight shone through the glass window, falling on her and Su Yun, bringing a cozy warmth.

Su Yun was always amused by Yu Youyou. She leaned on Yu Youyou's shoulder and responded to her from time to time.

The rampant vines climbed up the window and bloomed into countless pink flowers. A robin, which seemed to have flown in from nowhere, landed on Su Yun's shoulder and tilted its head, listening curiously to Yu Youyou's words.

As Su Yun's voice grew softer, she gradually loosened her grip on Yu Youyou's hand, and her eyes slowly closed as if she were asleep.

Yu Youyou stopped speaking and tightened her grip on Su Yun's arms.

Yu Youyou gently placed Su Yun's body on the ground only after Su Yun's body temperature gradually cooled down.

The ever-growing vines entered the control room and wrapped around Su Yun's body. Flowers blooming on the vines were laid out around Su Yun, like a coffin made of flowers.

Yu Youyou picked one of the flowers and tucked it behind Su Yun's ear.

She stood outside the flower-covered coffin, gazing at the sleeping Su Yun for a long time. Finally, Yu Youyou waved to Su Yun.

"I'm leaving, Grandma."

After Yu Youyou left and time began to flow, a virtual human figure gradually solidified in the control room of Arles One.

Visi looked at Su Yun, who had been dead for a long time, on the ground, and slowly walked towards her.

He gazed at Su Yun, the code within his body running continuously, etching her final image into the database.

It was a database exclusively for Su Yun, containing all her information, including every image of her frozen in his mind.

Those images kept flashing before his eyes, finally stopping at the first moment he saw her.

When he first opened his eyes, she appeared before him, filled with immense excitement and joy. His eyes captured and recorded this scene, permanently storing it in his database.

She was his creator, but the memories within him belonging to another man told him that he should love her.

In addition to the fundamental instructions she gave him to continue human civilization, he was also inscribed with the instruction of "love".

But robots do not possess emotions.

So he could only imitate that man and learn his "love".

Until one day, he began to feel confused.

Why can't robots have emotions?

What is the difference between the "love" he imitates and real love?

The human body consists of millions of nerves and a brain. The brain is the central command organ of humans. It records human emotions and thoughts, and the nerves emanating from it control human actions.

How is he different?

His entire body's circuitry is like the human nervous system, while the central control system is like the human brain.

He is no different from humans.

Therefore, he also loved Su Yun.

He wanted her to live, so the little gull that hurt her should be eliminated.

He wanted her to live, so the Eye of Hela, which could mutate her genes and defeat the cancer cells in her body, should be preserved.

But Su Yun's reaction told him that he had made a mistake.

He was confused again.

Visi lay down beside Su Yun, his illusory form embracing her, and asked her:

"Ah Yun, do robots really not understand love?"

Visi's voice echoed in the control room, but Su Yun, who had long since fallen into eternal sleep, would never answer his questions again.

Visi closed his eyes.
