mechanical heart

7:00AM, room temperature: 22°C, air humidity: suitable, today's weather: light snow.

Cheng Ling looked at the display screen on the desktop, and quickly began to get dressed and get up.

Today is Sunday, according to past practice, Cheng Ling will go to the underground auction on this day to check if there are any mechanical parts he needs, and take pictures by the way.

Taking off his scarf from the hanger and wrapping it around his neck, Cheng Ling asked Heipi to stay in the equipment room to observe the fungus he put on the petri dish, and went out alone.

The temperature in the equipment room was low. After going out, Cheng Ling felt a burst of heat on his face, and his whole body warmed up. Then, he sat at the dining table on the first day of junior high school, staring blankly at the steaming breakfast in front of him.

"Morning! Haven't eaten yet? Come have breakfast, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Hearing the movement of Cheng Ling, Chuyi hurriedly stood up and walked towards Cheng Ling. Seeing Cheng Ling's fully armed appearance, he was stunned, "Are you going out so early?"

Shiro subconsciously wanted to nod, but the two sets of tableware on the dining table made him shake his head, sit down and ask, "Why don't you leave here?"

The first day of junior high school did not answer Cheng Ling's words quickly, but tilted his head and said with some expectation: "Can I stay here? I can cook for you, mop the floor, wash dishes... In short, can you let me stay here?" Are you staying here?"

Cheng Ling felt the noodles choking in his throat, and silently pressed the unpalatable noodles to his throat.

Later, Cheng Ling asked: "According to today's science and technology, can our machines do housework automatically?"

"Yes." The first day of the junior high school put the noodles into his stomach in an instant, and then he looked back at the other party with his chin propped up, "Does what you said have anything to do with my wanting to stay?"

"Since I can solve the problem by myself, why should I keep you?"

Even if he has a heart of compassion, in this war-torn era, Cheng Ling does not intend to let his energy be scattered on caring for a person who is like a mentally handicapped child.What's more, this person has no value at all to him.

"Uh... accompany you, does it count?" Chu Yi tilted his head and responded cutely.

Cheng Ling stood up silently, and he straightened his scarf, "I don't need it. Leave when you're full, and Hei Pi will take care of everything. You can take whatever dry food is in the refrigerator, and close the door before leaving. That's fine. I still have something to do, so I won't entertain you."

"Besides," Cheng Ling condescendingly glanced at Chu Yi, "you can't survive in this place if you are so naive. This place is not like the hypocritical civilization in the human world, and it is also different from the somewhat unprecedented world of robots." Unity. There are greed, jealousy, and hatred from the dark... All negative emotions are condensed here. If you are not careful, you will be hurt badly. There are only so many things I can remind, The rest is up to you.”

Cheng Ling buried his whole face in the fluffy scarf, turned around expressionlessly, and as soon as the door was closed, the whole person disappeared in the eyes of Chu Yi.

On the first day of the lunar new year, he was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses. He stared blankly at the noodles that Cheng Ling had barely eaten, brought them over silently, and picked up the chopsticks to eat again.

The noodles that have been sitting for a long time have cooled completely, and the dry batter is mixed with the buttery vegetables.Chewing noodles in his mouth on the first day of the lunar new year, he finally lowered his head and put down his chopsticks: "Tsk, it's really unpalatable."
