Quick Transmigration: Let Me Tell You, I'm a Social Anxiety Person
Chapter 508 The Animal Keeper Continues to Fight (33)
Wen Sirang ultimately stayed and had a late-night snack.
Christine and he sat opposite Wen Ying and Jiang Yusui respectively. Unlike the tacit and intimate style of the two opposite them, apart from Wen Sirang's fake smile when they entered, Christine's eye roll, Wen Sirang's suggestion to "change seats" in the middle of the meal, and Christine's indifferent "Dream on, I'm not changing", they had almost no communication.
Wen Ying didn't try to force the atmosphere; she just happened to have the opportunity to bring them together and wanted to take this time to make her demands clear all at once.
The two of them really didn't click, but they were quite nice when she spoke and agreed with her ideas.
However, Christine was reluctant to move into the palace, arguing that the harsh environment could trigger a relapse of her childhood trauma, and that the previous emperor was still lying in a side hall: "The thought of breathing the same air as him makes me feel nauseous."
As she spoke, her eyes reddened, and Wen Ying quickly took out a handkerchief and handed it to her, putting her arm around her shoulder and comforting her gently.
After discussion, Wen Ying decided to arrange for guards to escort Christine to planet A-03, where the scenery is beautiful and suitable for relaxation. Christine can stay in her house and use her ID card to eat at the company cafeteria. Most of the colleagues in the company are full of passion for life, and with their care, it will not be long before Christine's updates return to stability.
Everyone at the table was satisfied with the result.
It was getting late, and considering that Christine had traveled a long way and needed to rest, Wen Ying stood up to see her off. She then personally gave some instructions to the personal assistant who had called her.
Back in the study, Wen Sirang was still there.
Wen Ying smiled and walked over, sitting down next to Jiang Yusui.
She took a sip of the juice he poured, then looked up and asked the person opposite her if there was anything else he could tell her.
"Yes." Wen Sirang's expression was solemn.
Wen Ying asked seriously, "What's wrong?"
To my surprise, the next second he said, "It's a matter of life and death. In your heart, is your brother more important, or your sister?"
This sarcastic tone didn't seem fake, which startled Wen Ying. She then laughed, "What are you saying? Of course you're more important. We've been family for decades, and no one can shake your position. However, I do really like Sister Christine..."
Having heard what he wanted to hear, Wen Sirang selectively ignored the second half of the sentence.
When he's in a good mood, he likes to collect gold coins, emptying all his pockets, then casually leaving with the trash.
Wen Ying took a shower, continued working for a while, and then went to her room to rest.
She's been so busy with work lately that sometimes she doesn't even have time to go home, so she just stays in the palace. The palace has many rooms, but she uses a slightly secluded suite that almost no one ever comes to, mainly because she doesn't like things that other people have used, and secondarily because the place is very quiet.
However, even though the suite was rarely visited, the two family members still carefully decorated it.
Whether it's the wall decorations, the floor color, the various items and furniture, or the angle and position of their placement, everything perfectly suits Wen Ying's taste.
The living room next to the study felt even more like home. Today belonged to Jiang Yusui, and he had even chosen the style of the bed for tonight. Wen Ying slumped into the quilt, feeling like she could faint if she closed her eyes.
Being an emperor is not a job that just anyone can do.
Jiang Yu opened the bathroom door and saw her struggling to keep her eyes open, fighting against sleepiness.
He rushed to the bedside, leaned down and kissed her, then tucked her into the covers. Knowing the answer already, he still insisted on asking, "Why don't you go to sleep first?"
"I'll wait for you." Wen Ying indulged his little thoughts, her tired voice carrying a smile. "I can't sleep soundly without you by my side."
"Then I'll wash faster next time so you won't have to wait." He looked at her with bright eyes and spoke obediently.
Wen Ying raised her hand and poked his face: "Okay."
Through the tireless efforts of the parties involved, and with Wen Ying's occasional assistance, Jiang Yusui finally created two brand-new bodies for himself.
However, the body with beast ears and a tail is still at home and hasn't been used yet. The body he's using now looks no different from an ordinary person, and its defense index is still very high, but it can adjust its softness and hardness at will.
The touch beneath Wen Ying's fingertips was incredibly bouncy, and she finally understood why Jiang Yu Sui loved to bite her; this involuntary reaction was truly difficult to control.
As she leaned in to bite his cheek, Jiang Yusui happened to catch her finger in his mouth.
The two of them were stunned at the same time.
He chuckled softly, took her fingertips in his hand and kissed them, then turned his other cheek toward her.
"I want this side too."
"Satisfy you."
Wen Ying bit down slightly, leaving a faint tooth mark on his face, which was still a little wet.
Jiang Yusui's heartbeat was already out of control. He wrapped his arms around her waist, pulled her into his embrace, and gave her a long kiss, constantly inhaling her familiar fragrance.
The gentle rubbing of the skin on the side of his neck was so hypnotic that when Jiang Yusui raised his head, Wen Ying yawned before she could even speak.
"Go to sleep." He smiled, turned off the lights in the living room, and adjusted the temperature and humidity to a comfortable level. "Good night, sweet dreams."
Wen Ying hummed in agreement, feeling him kiss her ear again, and mumbled, "Sleep with me..."
“Yes, Your Majesty.” Jiang Yu buried his face in her neck and chuckled softly.
Having lived with her for so many years, he, who originally didn't need to recover his energy through sleep, has also gotten used to holding his beloved in his arms every night and falling asleep with her. As long as she is by his side, he always has sweet dreams every night.

Christine had vanished without a trace, and the Thuringian family returned empty-handed, still announcing that Christine was still alive.
Public opinion surrounding StarNet continues to escalate.
First, insiders analyzed with reason and evidence that Wen Ying killed Wen Sirang in order to rise to power. Then, they speculated on the real reason why the old emperor passed the throne to her, claiming that she impersonated Christine.
During the time he was imprisoned by the eldest prince, the old emperor suffered serious mental trauma. His image of being confused was so deeply ingrained in people's minds that it's not impossible that the old emperor mistook his daughter for Christine when she was declared dead.
Now, Wen Ying discovers that Christine is not actually dead, so she decides to kill her as well.
This set of analytical posts was widely circulated, and surprisingly, quite a few people believed it. Parties that opposed Wen Ying's rule were emboldened and shouted even louder, demanding to see her alive or dead, and calling for her to apologize for her actions and step down.
Some even went so far as to question her whether she dared to enter the temple and swear an oath before the statue to prove that her current position was ordained by heaven.
Wen Ying, of course, did not enter the temple to swear an oath.
She was so busy that she was practically overwhelmed, and the coronation ceremony was kept as simple as possible, conducted in the spare time she had. How could she possibly go and explain herself just because she heard a rumor?
Once you fall into the trap of self-justification, the rest of the work will only be delayed indefinitely.
Therefore, she simply released what Vivian had given her.
Vivian herself was not the one slandered by the Thuringian family, but she also could not accept that her companions were being attacked.
The Thuringian family's numerous crimes have been exposed: illegal gene editing, clandestine human experiments, and experiments conducted in conjunction with the KA Group...
People finally learned how the so-called "empty shell syndrome," a genetic disease, spread to them.
It turns out that it wasn't the gods who closed their eyes, nor was it the will of heaven to destroy them. From beginning to end, it was humanity itself that betrayed the human race.
They were even shocked to discover that the civil war years ago had also been caused by this family.
The Thuringian family once targeted remote star systems, offering infrastructure contracts riddled with traps under the guise of investment, seizing centuries of tax revenue and mineral resources from these systems, and ruthlessly reaping the hard work and even lives of countless people.
Those who tried to resist and fight for their own and their compatriots' rights were all labeled "rebels" and expelled from the country.
This is no longer just the sin of the Thuringian family.
Those in power who turned a blind eye and chose to remain silent back then were also their accomplices.
The situation on the battlefield suddenly changed.
The Thuringian family faced criticism, and the voices questioning Wen Ying's decisions gradually weakened. However, dissatisfaction always existed. Fortunately, she also had countless supporters who persistently spoke out for her.
One quote has been widely cited: "She may have done things poorly, but people in the past did make mistakes. Let's try giving her a chance; perhaps this will also be our chance."
A few days later, Winston and Christine also came forward to express their support for her.
When asked by reporters about his whereabouts during this period, Wen Sirang looked embarrassed and looked around, seemingly finding it difficult to speak.
Under repeated questioning from reporters, he finally sighed and replied that he had accidentally fallen into the Crown Prince's trap and, like those suffering from the "empty shell syndrome," had entered a virtual world. He never expected that his brother, with whom he had grown up, would be so heartless as to try to kill him. It was only thanks to the kindness of his sister, Wen Ying, whom he met along the way, that he was saved.
Wen Sirang spoke with great emotion, and he even appeared to have tears in his eyes.
The video was posted online, and netizens sighed, lamenting that the imperial family was indeed a place that devoured people without spitting out the bones. What brotherhood, loyalty, and deep father-son affection were all fleeting clouds. Forget about them and just focus on supporting your sister. After all, you grew up with the same mother, so she certainly won't mistreat you.
When Christine arrived, she had never liked facing the media, so naturally she was too lazy to tell her story to the camera.
However, people noticed that the girl who looked so hostile in the obituary back then, although her eyes still held disdain, softened considerably when she mentioned Wen Ying, even praising her for having "good taste." As for the specifics of her good taste, there's plenty to discuss...
The rumor was proven wrong.
Wen Ying began working on the next steps.
She had long ago conducted in-depth research on the sense of injustice among human groups.
Many similar scenarios have occurred throughout history, such as the impact of the Industrial Revolution and the popularization of universal education. When the learning ability that humans are so proud of is easily surpassed or even crushed by non-human groups, the impact is naturally not something that can be summarized by the words "frustration of self-esteem," but rather it will trigger the most fundamental existential anxiety of humankind.
If the android company continues to produce more androids, the fate of those androids who were forced into the world and have not yet developed their own consciousness will become a serious problem.
With too many factors to consider and time running out, Wen Ying decided to take a two-pronged approach.
Guide android manufacturers to transform their identities and reconstruct family relationships, and carry out these two processes simultaneously.
The latest policy stipulates that welcoming a new android citizen into this world will no longer be a commercial activity, but will be subject to strict regulation. Only when the government puts forward a clear development plan, or when an application is made for family needs, can a new android citizen be "introduced".
As for those androids that have already been "sold," if they establish a kinship relationship with their families, the law will recognize and protect them; androids that develop self-awareness have the right to choose, they can choose to stay in their original families or leave home to find their own happiness.
Of course, the government will provide compensation to "consumers" who suffer losses due to this law, depending on the specific circumstances. At the same time, the government will also encourage android manufacturers to explore broader and deeper areas.
Undeniably, artificial intelligence was initially created to solve problems and serve humanity. However, the progress of civilization has never been about how well humans can create machines that resemble "humans".
The key lies in how to use technology as a mirror to safeguard our humanity and deepen our value as human beings.
As the world is about to usher in a new era, the new year is also fast approaching.
Wen Ying packed her luggage and, along with two relatives and the mechanical bird, returned home for the New Year.
Wen Sirang did not go back with them. Although he also wanted to visit the place where Wen Ying had lived, he had just returned to work and had too many things to do.
Moreover, with the emperor absent and the commander having followed him without hesitation, this prince could no longer afford to be idle.
Christine, on the other hand, stayed at Wen Ying's house to finish writing her word count.
Someone dug up her pseudonym as a novelist, and the already crowded comment section was now even more eager to receive feedback. All she could do was hold the keyboard and type away. When she got tired, she would think about Wen Ying's promise to "fill the world with fluff and love" to get a little boost, which was better than nothing.
Therefore, this New Year, only three people and one bird boarded the train back to planet Z–10.
