afterlife reservation

There has been no news of Xiang Ming. Since his disappearance, the atmosphere of Xu Zhiyang and the three of them has become much depressed. Xu Zhiyang still goes to the flower shop every day, and Wen Rong spends more time at home with Shi Ji. Wen Rong helped to watch, the days passed day by day, and it was still calm.

"Huh? Brother Shiji, where are Brother Rong?"

Xu Zhiyang's voice interrupted Shi Ji's thoughts, he looked up at Xu Zhiyang: "In the greenhouse in the back garden."

Xu Zhiyang said, "Have you eaten yet?"

"No, I'll wait for you to come back."

Xu Zhiyang smiled, and ran to the kitchen to see that the food was still hot and hadn't been touched. She washed her hands and put the food on the table. By the way, she talked about today's fun at the flower shop.

"Hey, I feel like there would be less business without Brother Rong. I only sold ten buyers all day today."

Shi Ji thought for a while, and comforted him, "It's okay."

Xu Zhiyang snorted: "I also know business. There are good and bad. I just sigh. Now that society is developing so fast and prices are rising so fast, I hope to save a little more money to make our lives better."

Shi Ji nodded.

"...Hey, why am I telling you this? Both you and Brother Rong are naturally delicate people, and you have never suffered from the poor!"

"..."

Xu Zhiyang looked at Shi Ji, sighed again, suddenly thought of something, and said to Shi Ji: "Brother Shi Ji, I heard a guest say that there was an academic meeting in City A recently, and a lot of scientific research experts were invited. , one of them has the same name as Brother Xiang Ming!"

Shi Ji was startled, and raised his eyes.

Seeing his surprised look, Xu Zhiyang couldn't help laughing: "Why, so serious."

"City A."

Seeing his serious appearance, Xu Zhiyang regretted telling Shi Ji the news. She was also excited at first, thinking that the Xiang Ming on the list was the one she knew, but only after she inquired did she find out that Xiang Ming She is an expert in scientific research, or an expert in the study of transforming people, and more importantly, she lives in the resident all year round. How can she have time to come to K City and live with her for a few years?

"Brother Shi Ji, you don't have to be so serious... I asked, and that person is not Brother Xiang Ming. The other party is a very powerful scientist. He studies what transforms people, maybe the kind that looks like robots. I don’t understand, anyway, that person is a scientific researcher, who happens to have the same name, not our Brother Xiang Ming..."

Xu Zhiyang's words did not calm Shi Ji down. He turned on the communicator and searched for the seminar that Xu Zhiyang was talking about, but found nothing. The florist is lying.

Shi Ji seemed to think of something, he quit browsing, opened a system, and then entered a URL on the light screen, the loading speed slowed down visibly to the naked eye.

The white light receded, the page appeared, Shi Ji slid down, and Xu Zhiyang beside him suddenly said, "Here, brother Shi Ji, quickly see if it's this!"

Shi Ji's hands stopped, and his gaze stayed on the words "City A Research and Seminar Symposium". His gaze was calm, as if he hadn't been affected by anything.After clicking in, browse along the screen, and finally pause on the list of participants.

"Look, this person is really called Xiang Ming."

Shi Ji was silent for a long time and hummed, Xu Zhiyang watched him turn off the communicator, as if nothing had happened, but a feeling of uneasiness rose in his heart.

"Brother Shi Ji?"

Shi Ji looked at the speaker and comforted him, "It's okay."

His gaze swept over the previous article, Xu Zhiyang wanted to follow along, but Shi Ji's speed was too fast for her to keep up.

"That person...could it be Brother Xiang Ming?"

Shi Ji's eyes froze, and he said for a moment: "No, it's not Xiang Ming."

Xu Zhiyang felt a little relieved when she heard Shi Ji's denial, she thought for a while, raised the corner of her mouth and said, "It's okay, as long as we don't give up, brother Xiang Ming will come back sooner or later!"

"Well," after a few seconds, Shi Ji said to Xu Zhiyang solemnly, "Don't tell A Rong about this."

"Well! I don't want Brother Rong to be disappointed either!"

"Why am I disappointed?" The two on the sofa paused, watching Wen Rong standing at the door and looking at them, they didn't know how much they heard.

Xu Zhiyang looked at Shi Ji with a guilty conscience, Shi Ji didn't blink his eyes, and said: "The flower shop's business is not good, I'm afraid you will be disappointed."

Xu Zhiyang nodded frantically.

Wen Rong seemed to want to ask something else, Shi Ji said that after dinner, he dragged Xu Zhiyang away, Wen Rong looked at the backs of the two suspiciously, and followed.

After the meal, Xu Zhiyang went to the flower shop alone, Wen Rong was watering the shower, and Shi Ji sat aside and watched.The afternoon wind brings warmth, and the fragrance of flowers gives people a sense of coziness.

After finishing, Wen Rong put down his things and washed his hands before walking towards Shi Ji.

"Shi Ji, are you sleepy?"

Shi Ji shook his head.Wen Rong sat next to Shi Ji and let him lean on him. He looked at Shi Ji with such gentle eyes forever, and when the two looked at each other, Shi Ji always looked away first.

"Shiji, what's on your mind?"

"Have it."

Wen Rong was afraid that he had misread it, but Shi Ji's expression made him believe in his own judgment: "You have it."

Shi Ji's gaze paused, and he sat up: "A Rong, do you like the life you have now?"

"I like it, how about you?"

It was only then that Wen Rong remembered that he hadn't thought about the possibility of returning to City G for a long time. It seemed that there was already a memory from a long time ago, and it was not enough for him to think about it anymore.His answer without thinking was already in Shi Ji's expectation.

Shi Ji looked up at Wen Rong again, and smiled for a moment: "I like it too."

Wen Rong was startled, and his smile became even brighter: "We can live here forever, and Yangyang... If Professor Xiang Ming can come back, the four of us can always be like before."

Shi Ji said: "Yangyang is different from us. She will get married sooner or later and leave. Xiang Ming also has her own life and won't stay here forever."

"Then it's just us."

Shi Ji paused, and said, "En."

The smile on Wen Rong's face faded a little, and he approached Shi Ji with doubtful eyes.

"what happened?"

"Shi Ji, will you get married too?"

"..."

Wen Rong didn't get Shi Ji's answer, feeling inexplicably lost in his heart. He looked at Shi Ji and said, "It seems that all of you humans will get married. Those who are not married will have no partner. Without a partner, they will be very lonely. The doctor has been living forever since he lost his mother. A person, although he didn't say it, but I know the aura emanating from him, in your human words, it's called loneliness."

Shi Ji hooked the corners of his lips, and put his hand on Wen Rong's fluffy hair: "No, I'm... different from them."

Wen Rong knew that they here referred to human beings.

"You are also a human being, how could it be different?"

There was a tone of disapproval in Wen Rong's words, Shi Ji said: "What about you, do you want to find a partner too?"

Wen Rong stared blankly, as if he didn't even think about this question clearly.

"I'm a robot, and I don't need to get married to eliminate loneliness."

"I don't need it either." Shi Ji rubbed his hair and put his hands down.

Wen Rong thought for a while, then smiled: "It's okay, Shi Ji, I'll be with you."

Shi Ji felt that his heart hadn't been beating at such a rate for a long time, and what the person in front of him gave him had exceeded what he expected.When Wen Rong was learning how to communicate with humans, he was not learning to be a normal human...

The two feel the afternoon wind, silence is the norm, and it is also a unique tacit understanding. Two people who cannot speak enter each other's world little by little in silence.Wen Rong stood up, went to the table and poured Shi Ji a glass of water.

"How's your intensive training going?"

"When Professor Xiang was there last time, he said that my speed was too slow and needed to be strengthened, and there were no other problems."

Shi Ji took a sip of water, looked at the tall man in front of him: "If possible, I really want to fight with you."

Wen Rong took the other party's cup, then squatted down and smiled: "I won't fight you."

"why."

Wen Rong shook his head: "I know Shi Ji is very good, I will lose."

"You haven't even tried."

"No need to try, I know."

Shi Ji suddenly asked: "If you can't even beat me, how can you protect me?"

Wen Rong blinked, this was indeed a problem, but he didn't want Shi Ji to think about fighting with him, because no matter what the outcome was, Shi Ji would never be happy.

"I know, I will continue to work hard."

Shi Ji cleared his throat and held back his smile: "You don't want to fight with me."

Wen Rong seemed to sense Shi Ji's joy, and nodded.

"You are afraid that I will lose."

"you will not."

Shi Ji curled his lips, and didn't want to continue asking. The silly robot in front of him had written all his thoughts on his face, and it was meaningless to ask any more.

His eyes moved to the horizon, and the throbbing in his heart gradually calmed down.He also likes here, likes everything here, and for the first time, he has a strong sense of reluctance.

Wen Rong always felt that Shi Ji didn't explain something clearly, but seeing that the other party was in a good mood at the moment, he didn't care about it.

The roses in the garden were not in full bloom yet, he thought of G City in his memory, the days when they met, when Xiaozhi was still there, they lived a life similar to now, it seemed that there was no difference... .Perhaps thinking of this, Wen Rong felt a warmth in his heart, and some unknown emotion brought him to the past, a little bit closer to the present, closer to reality.

This is another kind of emotion of human beings. It is too involved, can't be said, and the way is unclear, but it is entangled in the position of the heart, so that you can clearly know its existence.

"Shi Ji, I hope your life is safe."

Shi Ji paused, his eyes did not move away from the cloud in the sky, and the tiny light flickered in his eyes.

"and then."

"I'll be with you for the rest of my life."

There was a faint smile on Shi Ji's face, he almost forgot that Wen Rong's lifespan is eternal.

Wen Rong withdrew his gaze and followed Shi Ji's gaze to the horizon. Dr. Gu Bian once told him that a person would appear in the future, and it was worth his effort to cultivate a special rose as a gift.

Perhaps, the story begins in the summer when he gave roses to Shi Ji...
