【Nain】Did they start dating today?

Did they start dating today?

--No.

Even though he had learned about Einstein's theory of relativity when he was in elementary school, Inaho didn't really realize the correctness of this theory until he became a high school student.

"It's already so late!" When Slein said this in surprise, Inafan glanced at his watch. The pointer showed that it was nine o'clock in the evening, which was a full hour later than the normal closing time. But they never heard the clearing broadcast.

"Let's go, we won't be able to catch the last train if we're late." Inafan said, feeling lost about the upcoming farewell.The time with Slein passed so quickly, it was like fine sand that couldn't be grasped, even though it was already tightly squeezed, it still flowed away crazily and quickly through the fingers.

A strange thought suddenly came to his mind, it would be great if this period of time could be extended a little longer.

When Slein said "Merry Christmas" to him, his face was so close to him, but in fact, Inafan felt that it could be closer...

"Yeah." Slein nodded, although he still wanted to stay a little longer, but Inafan would feel troubled by this, right?After all, there is still a sister waiting for him at home, so going back too late will definitely worry her.

Speaking of which, their faces were so close just now, they almost kissed each other...Huh?Slein pressed his chest, because when recalling that scene, the heart in his chest suddenly started beating vigorously, making him feel out of breath.

"Your face is so red, are you okay?" Inaho asked, although his expression didn't change much, but his body leaned over nervously.Thinking of how long Slein had waited in such cold weather with so little clothes before, he was worried that he might be sick. Inafan stretched out his hand, wanting to check his body temperature.

Slaine waved his hand away, however.

"No, it's okay...Maybe the room is a little stuffy." Slein was at a loss by his inexplicable mood, and didn't pay attention to what he was doing. "Let's go quickly."

Inaho, who was rejected, stood on the spot, holding up the hand that was waved away, and after a while, he turned around and caught up with Slein.

However, when they walked to the exit of the aquarium, they found that...the door was closed, and they could be seen through the whole glass door. Even the rolling gate outside was lowered, and they were locked in the aquarium.

No matter how smart these two people are, they are dumbfounded at this moment, and they don't understand why they are imprisoned here for no reason.The two were stunned at the same time, took out their mobile phones at the same time, and found at the same time - there was no signal.

"What should I do?" Slein became impatient. Even though he knew it was a waste of effort, he still slammed on the glass door twice, "You have to get out quickly..." Otherwise, Inafan would miss the last bus to go home.

Slein had an idea, he ran to the camera and waved.There will be people on duty in this kind of place at night, and the guards will find them immediately through the monitoring.

Compared to Slein's anxiety, Inafan was much calmer.He quietly watched Slein jumping around for a while, and then said: "It's useless, since no one has found us an hour after the retreat time, it means there must be a problem with the monitoring."

Indeed, due to an unexplained "system failure," the aquarium is not even staffed in the duty room.

Slein was a little out of breath from jumping and jumping. Seeing Inafan's indifferent look, he felt that he was really worried about him for nothing, and retorted unconvinced: "How do you know if you don't try? Maybe someone is already rushing over gone?"

"Impossible." Inafan said very confidently, "The indicator light of the camera is not on at all." He glanced at Slein, who couldn't hide his anxiety, and his previous actions... Inafan was hit hard I thought: Is he so unwilling to be with me?

Slein stared at the camera and found that Inafan hadn't said anything.Thinking about the way I was bouncing around in front of the camera just now...it's so silly.He asked angrily: "Why didn't you tell me earlier when you found out? Is it funny to see me anxious?" He always felt that this person was playing tricks on him.

"Yes..." is cute.Inaho almost blurted out, but shut her mouth when she realized it.Unfortunately, Slein only heard the first half. He was just a little embarrassed at first, but now his heart sank suddenly, as uncomfortable as being punched hard.

What, it really was just teasing him...

Inafan was secretly surprised at what he almost said, but didn't notice Slein's gloomy expression, and hurriedly changed the subject: "I remember there is a public phone here, let's look for it."

They started to walk back, and when they left, the indicator light of the camera that had been off turned on, and then the spherical lens rolled up boldly, tracking the backs of the two going away, like a mischievous child who secretly hid from his parents .

On the way back, the two of them were silent, only the slight sound of the heater and exhaust fan operating, and the inexplicably solemn atmosphere made the huge space cramped.

At this time, the two realized that there was really no one else in the aquarium except them. It was unbelievable. Why didn't they notice such an obvious abnormality before?

Probably because at that time, I was enjoying the good time with each other with all my heart, and I couldn't see anything except each other.simply--

like a fool.Inaho thought.

like a fool.Slein thought.

Not long after walking, they found a public telephone at the entrance of the nearest exhibition hall.Inafan picked up the phone and found that the line was normal, so he put in a coin and immediately dialed home: "Hello, sister Xue?"

"Ah ~ Mr. Nai? Where did you suddenly run off today? I heard from Cam that you were dating a friend?" Jie Zhongxue asked while yawning. She was not very worried about her always reliable younger brother. .

"Well, yes. I'm with Slein, we have to go back later, sister Xue, don't worry, we..." Speaking of this, the phone was suddenly disconnected. It didn't seem like she was hung up by her sister, but rather... The line suddenly failed, and even the rustling sound of the current disappeared.

Inaho was confused by the sudden situation. Although he reported to his sister that he was safe, he hadn't had time to tell her that they were trapped in the aquarium!

"Try another one?" Slein suggested, although he was still depressed, but he could still tell the seriousness of the matter.

But every public phone they found was broken, and they couldn't make calls at all. What's worse, there was a phone that swallowed coins and refused to spit them out, so they ran out of change.

"I remember that there is a vending machine over there, and I can only buy things for change, so I can buy something to drink along the way?" Inaho asked, "What do you want to drink?"

"I don't want to drink," Slaine said.

"We walked all night, even if we don't want to drink, we still need to add water and sugar, otherwise..."

"You are really leisurely." Slein interrupted him impatiently, "Compared to buying drinks and other trivial matters, shouldn't you think about how to get out?" Thanks to his laid-back appearance, Slein But I didn't miss the relieved expression on his face after reporting his whereabouts to his sister... He must really want to leave here quickly and return to his family, right?

"No matter how anxious you are, you should calm down. The staff will come tomorrow, and you can go out then." Inafan's tone became tougher, "Today is Christmas, and no one wants to encounter such a situation." It's something." I really don't know why Slein lost his temper suddenly, does he really don't want to be with him so much?Did he pretend to be happy when we went to the aquarium together?

How did it become that I am not calm?It's not me who has my sister waiting at home, and no one is waiting for me to go back.

Slein was angry at Inafan's accusation, and felt that it was ridiculous for him to worry about Inafan, and said with self-deprecation: "Yes, I am the one who is not calm, and I am the one who invited you to the aquarium today, if not Me, you don't have to be locked up here anymore."

How did it get here?Inafan frowned, "I didn't mean that, I didn't blame you."

"I didn't say you blamed me, it's all my fault. You just go buy a drink and have a good rest. I'll just do what you need to do. You don't have to—"

"Enough is enough." Inafan shouted with obvious anger. It was the first time that Slein felt that Inafan had such intense emotions, so he couldn't help but calm down.

From just now, he has been patient, trying not to think about the scene where Slein waved his hand away.He told himself that maybe it was just a coincidence, don't care about it, but seeing Slein's eagerness to run away from him, no matter how calm and stable Inafan was, he still felt very hurt.

"If you hate being with me, then I'll just walk away."

After saying this, he walked away.

So only Slein was left standing in the center of the exhibition hall, surrounded by a large cold aquarium and silent fish.

"Conversation test today. The purpose of the test is to detect whether artificial intelligence generates self-thinking in the dialogue with humans." Kaizuka Inaho said to the recording pen, "Are you ready?"

In the center of the huge white screen in front of him, words were typed out one by one: Ready.

"Okay, then..."

Didi, his communication device rang, and it was only after Inaho connected that he realized it was his sister.He was a little surprised and asked: "Sister Xue, why is it you?" The communication code of the military research center must not be known to sister, right?

"Because I called Nai-kun's cell phone many times, but you didn't answer it." Kaizuka Yuki said angrily, "So I asked Mr. Judo..." Then Mr. Judo asked Mark Balletji again. captain……

It was only then that Inaho remembered that he had put his phone outside, and this was also to concentrate on his work.He explained apologetically to his sister, and then heard sister Xue ask as if she had made up her mind: "Mr. Nai, are you coming back for dinner today? You've been coming back late recently, how about leaving get off work early today?"

"I'm afraid there is no way today, the content of the test is very critical."

"Then, how about going to the restaurant outside?" Jie Zhongxue said immediately, "If you make a reservation now—"

"Sister Xue, I said I don't need it." Inafan interrupted her gently, "My birthday doesn't need to be celebrated."

"Nai Jun..." On the other end of the phone, Jie Zhongxue looked at the super beautiful big birthday cake ordered on the table, the well-prepared and beautifully packaged gifts, the long-awaited rhyme, and Nina , Lai, Cam...

"Tell them for me, I'm sorry, and 'thank you'." Inafan said calmly, of course he guessed that his sister and friends had prepared surprises for him.As a thoughtful younger brother, he shouldn't have exposed it, but he really wasn't in the mood for a birthday.

Sensing that his younger brother was about to hang up the phone, Jie Zhongxue asked first: "Is it because of him? Because of him you..."

Inafan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said: "Him? Ah... you mean Slein?"

The younger brother's tone was as calm as if he was just talking about a friend he hadn't seen for a long time, but Jie Zhongxue felt extremely heartbroken when he heard his voice calling that name.

"Anyway, let's do this first, I really have to work." Inafan interrupted the communication.

After a while, Jie Zhongxue realized that her younger brother didn't answer her last question directly.

Inaho turned his attention back to the screen in front of him, and found that the text on it had been updated.Artificial intelligence is asking him: Birthday?

"It's the day a person was born, the first day he came into this world after being separated from the mother's womb." Inafan replied, since the conversation has started, let it take its course.

——Me too, birthday, right?

"Yes, but how should you define your birthday?" Inafan thought for a while, "Sure enough, it should start when you have self-awareness."

--when?

"One day in February 2015, Lieutenant General Hachner brought you to my ward."

—Consciousness, mine, do you have it?

"Not sure, but you who used to be my left eye, I can feel that you have gained partial self-awareness since then."

--That,

The words on the screen were being updated again. Looking at the words that appeared next, Inaho opened his eyes wide.

—Srain Troyet,

When the familiar spelling of this name appeared before his eyes again, he unconsciously grabbed the pocket of his uniform under the white lab coat.

——Birthday, his, is there any?

Inafan couldn't hide his surprise and asked, "Do you remember him?"

—to rescue him from, unfortunately, chains.

"This is what Princess Esailam said at the time, so you remembered it..."

--wrong.

The text on the screen changes rapidly.

——Yes, your will, Kaizuka, Inaho.

"..." Inafan didn't make a sound, he became quieter than a stopped machine.

An installed camera started to move, swinging a long connecting cable and stretching out in front of Inaho.The spherical camera looks like a pitch-black eyeball, the aperture is adjusted to size, looking into his pocket like a real eye.Inafan sighed softly, knowing that the artificial intelligence found what he was carrying in his pocket through scanning.

He took out the pendant, because it was always carried in his pocket, and the metal pendant was not cold at all.

The camera retracted, and large swathes of text appeared on the pure white screen like a spring.

——Srain Troyet, Srain Troyet, Srain Troyet, Srain Troyet, Srain Troyet, Srain ?Troyet,Srain Troyet,Srain Troyet,Srain Troyet,Srain Troyet,Srain Troyet , Srain Troyet...

The entire screen was occupied by this name, without leaving a single gap, the original white of the screen was completely covered, and finally turned into pitch black.

——Kaizuka, Inaho, do you miss him?

When the person in front of the screen smiled, the machine couldn't tell the difference, so it couldn't perceive the strong bitterness hidden under the smile. The machine only heard the man say distressedly, "Isn't it no longer connected to my brain cells? Still know so clearly, this is cheating."

Inafan walked out of the testing room and handed over the compiled data to his colleague who had been waiting for him. The other party took it and asked, "How is the result? Is it ideal?"

"Exceeded expectations." Inafan said, "He has very good self-thinking ability. He is not yet proficient, but there is a very broad room for growth."

"The prototype of that thing is called... Analysis Engine, right?"

"AnalyticalEngine, this new type of AI is adjusted on the basis of this, Mr. Jiezuka contributed a lot." Another person took over, "It's really amazing, it seems that it can be successfully loaded into the future as the core In the basic personality of the supercomputer."

Inafan listened quietly to their discussion, and when they paused for a while, he said, "I'm going first, and I'll leave the rest of the data to you. You may have to stay overnight today."

"No problem, brother Jiezuka, let's go back and rest. You've been doing development here for the most part, so leave the rest to the adults." The colleague waved carelessly. Fan thought of someone he knew from his military career.

It was almost ten o'clock when he walked out of the research center, and Inafan carried a small box in his hand, which he took out from the refrigerator in the office before he left.

Inaho got in the car that had been arranged for pick-up and asked the driver to drive in the direction of the station.There was still some distance between getting out of the car and walking into the station. He tightened his collar and quickened his pace. Although it would be spring soon, the winter night wind was already biting cold.On the way, he felt the coolness on his cheeks, and when he looked up, there was snowflakes falling in the dark sky.

The tiny snowflakes scattered under the street lamp reminded Inaho of that person's lonely smile.Once he went to visit Slein in prison, and because it happened to be snowing, he told the warden to let Slein come out for a walk.

"It's so cold, what did you call me out for?" the Nordic man asked with an unhappy face, as if he was reluctant to come out of the temperature-controlled indoor facility.

"You're too slow, the snow has stopped." Inaho complained.

It was clear after the snow, and the sky was unbelievably blue. It was the purest and natural blue that human beings could not blend.Even though there is a high wall covered with snow in front of you, the scenery of the blue sky and white snow is still very moving.

Slein was taken aback, and asked a little incomprehensibly: "You called me out to let me see the snow?" He looked a little angry, "Do you think I'm a child who has never seen snow?"

"Will it snow on Mars?" Inaho asked seriously.

"How is it possible..." Slein sometimes really doesn't know whether this person is smart or dull, "I met him in my hometown before I went to Mars with my father."

"Is there any difference between the snow over there and the snow in Japan?" Inafan asked curiously, and found that Slein seemed quite willing to talk to him today.Inafan thought that he probably did the right thing. The snowy scene made Slein miss his childhood home, and he became soft unconsciously.

So in order for him to say more, he would keep asking even childish questions.

Slein thought for a while and said, "The snow in Japan doesn't seem to be that cold."

"Because Japan is a temperate country."

He glanced at the thickly dressed guy beside him, and muttered, "It's not..." It was because of this person's side that he felt warm.The snow in his hometown in Northern Europe is as magnificent as a miracle. Looking around, the world is white. In his eyes, it seems that the whole world is covered by snow.Without his parents by his side, little Slein stood alone in the snow, feeling terribly lonely in the whole world.

And the snow in Japan is like a delicate snow scene in a crystal ball. He is also part of the snow scene, and beside him is Inaho who is wrapped up like a round snowman.

For the first time, he felt that Xue Xue was not so lonely.

What did Slein want to say at that time?Inaho Kaizuka, who was sitting on the train, fell asleep for a while due to exhaustion. In his dream, he returned to that time. At that time, he actually pricked up his ears, paying attention to what Slein didn't finish, but even This scene repeated itself in the dream again, but he still couldn't know what that person was thinking.

AnalyticalEngine asked him if he wanted that person, how could he not?

When I see birds, I think of him.

When I see flowers blooming, I will think of him.

When I hear the crackling of rain, I will think of him.

When you see a cat running across the fence, you will think of him.

He misses him crazily every minute and every second, and every second clearly understands that he is gone.

He was in great pain but didn't know how to stop.

Inaho Kaizuka got off at the terminal station of the train. The beach at night was very quiet and the wind was strong.He held the box carefully, and it was snowing by the sea, he really felt very cold, but he still didn't stop.Until he finally found a place he wanted, which was behind a big rock.

Inafan was sitting on the beach leaning on the reef, he opened the box, and inside was a very small cake, only enough for two people.The cake was made by himself, without any decoration, and covered with a layer of white cream. He made a white seagull with icing sugar and placed it alone on top.

He put two candles on the cake, took out a box of matches, and struck one.

Flames leapt up, but a gust of sea wind blew it out.

Inaho struck another one, this time he carefully protected the weak flame with his hands, but the candle was blown out by the sea wind as soon as it was lit.

Inaho struck the third match. He was very patient but also clumsy. There was a layer of snow on his shoulders and his fingers were numb from the cold.If Slaine was in front of him, he would have made fun of him unceremoniously.If possible, he would be very willing to be laughed at by him, even if he was called a "stupid", he would never refute, he really wanted...to hear that person's laughter.

The reality is that there are only waves and the whistling wind on the beach, and the loneliness is infinitely enlarged and becomes an inextricable darkness.

This time, Inaho used his body to block the sea wind, guarding this small cake like an incomparably precious treasure.With the human body as a barrier, the weak flames twisted lively in the wind.The warm light of the fire illuminated Inaho's face, but the fire did not illuminate the depths of his pupils. He was obviously still so young, but a certain part of his emotions had begun to dry up.

Tears of burning candles fell down, and Inaho also raised his hand to touch his cheek.

Wet, it must be the snow that fell on the face has melted.

Then he gazed at the little seagull and said softly, "Happy birthday, Slein," in the softest voice.

Slein stood there for about a minute before he came back to his senses.He found himself saying something that was too much, and he shouldn't have said that.Slein gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.He was just losing his temper, saying that he wanted Inaho to go home early, but he was the one who didn't want him to go home the last time.

You have to catch up, and you have to apologize to Inaho.

Just as Slein walked out of the exhibition hall, the lights that were still on suddenly went out.It was pitch black behind him, and the way back was cut off, as if something invisible was urging him to move forward.Slein didn't have time to think about it. He remembered that Inafan said he was going to buy drinks, but the aquarium was so big that there were more than one vending machine. How could he find it?

He walked to the fork and was hesitating whether it was the left or the right. Suddenly the light on the right also went out, and the side with the light on seemed to be trying to shout "This way! This way!".

As if being guided, Slein came to the tropical fish exhibition hall. Because tropical fish are various and colorful, they had watched them here for a long time before.

Inafan was holding two cans of drinks, not sure if Slein who was walking towards him was real, or if he imagined it.It wasn't until he got a little closer that he was sure it was true.

"Why..." Inafan didn't finish asking, and the lights here also dimmed, only the faint gleam of the aquarium made the young man with beautiful facial features in front of him look as beautiful as an illusion.

"The light... suddenly turned off." Slein said, he didn't know how to speak.

"Are you afraid of the dark?" Inafan looked surprised, he really thought that Slein was afraid of the dark.

"No! I'm here to find you—" he blurted out.Inaho turned his head sideways, looked at him with doubts in his eyes, and waited for him to finish speaking.

"Look, look, look, you..." Woo... I'm so embarrassed, how should I speak?Slein was so embarrassed that he wanted to plunge into the aquarium like a garden eel buried in the sand.

"Huh?" Inaifan suddenly shouted, making Slein tense up in fright. Inafan pointed to the aquarium behind Slein, and continued, "I didn't see this just now."

What... Slein turned around resentfully, and what Inafan said were two kissing fish.

"Really, where were you hiding just now?" Slein leaned over with interest, and the two leaned against the glass wall of the aquarium, watching the two kissing fish put their mouths together, and they did not separate for a long time.

"It's really like kissing..." Slein had heard of this kind of fish, but he still found it very interesting to see it with his own eyes.

"Although some people think it's an act of showing love, others say it's an expression of struggle. This behavior of kissing fish not only happens between the opposite sex, but also happens frequently between the same sex." Inafan explained solemnly.

"You're really unromantic." Slein complained.

At this time, the guy next to him suddenly stretched out his hand to hold his face, and brought him in front of him.Inaho's upright but expressionless face was right in front of his eyes, so close that he could feel his breath on his face.

Kissing fish in a nearby aquarium with their mouths pressed together.

The distance between him and him is so ambiguous that one can almost feel the touch of the other's lips.

This time, Slein didn't push Inafan away, he blinked meekly and asked, "What's wrong?"

Inaifan let him go, and he turned his head to the other side, "It's nothing, just imitating the ecology of kissing fish." His voice couldn't hear any change, the light was too dim, and Slein didn't see him turn red for a moment ear tips.

"Are you stupid?" He teased Inaho unceremoniously.

Inaho glanced at him and asked, "Calm down?"

It was only then that Slein remembered what he was doing. Incredibly, he was no longer nervous and could speak his mind naturally: "Did you just now..."

Inafan threw the drink in his hand, and Slein caught it in a hurry, before he stopped speaking halfway.

"I'm also wrong, let's make it even." Inafan said, his shoulders shook, "Is it a little cold?"

It seems that the heating is also broken along with the light, Slein shrugged, "There is no way, we can only make do with it for one night here."

Two people sat on the ground leaning against the aquarium, and the room temperature was stabilized at a delicate temperature—the temperature was just right for two people to keep warm together.Because Slein didn't wear a coat, Inafan took off his coat and used it as a quilt to cover the two of them.The jacket couldn't cover the two high school boys, so they had to stick a little closer.

"What do you think is going on here?" Slein asked.

"The system is broken."

"Will there be bad guys who have broken the system and want to invade here?"

"You have such a rich imagination..."

"Didn't you just see rare protected fish? Or is someone trying to steal them?"

"Then we who were unfortunately locked up here acted as witnesses."

"Caught up in an unusual case—"

The two chatted with each other, and made up a wild but exciting adventure story.As he was talking, Slein felt a little sleepy, his head was shaking little by little, his eyes were also narrowed, and he was about to fall asleep at any time.

"Go to sleep, you can go out when you wake up." Inafan said, in fact, he was also tired.

"Hmm..." Slein was in a daze, and he was particularly prone to be confused at this time, and then Inafan felt something soft rubbed against his cheek.

"Good night..." Slein finished kissing good night and fell asleep sweetly.

However, Inafan was suddenly given a shot of stimulant and woke up suddenly. He covered his kissed cheek with one hand and his chest with the other.

He felt his heart beating very fast, what's going on?

Did they start dating today?

--No.
