Who says a sickly daughter can’t break through the weirdness?

"Well, yes, that's about it."

"I don't understand."

Xiaoxiang shook his head. "Close partners are defined as individuals who share a common goal and assist each other. From a survival perspective, protecting your own safety should take precedence over protecting your partners. Your behavior doesn't conform to conventional survival algorithms.

According to the information, the purpose of the birth of robots is to serve as tools to provide services to humans.

To you, I am merely a combat and service Automata that carries out your orders. As long as I can guarantee your safety, even if I am destroyed, it is worth it."

"What if I insist on taking you as my partner?"

Shen Qiyin winked at her playfully, "Human emotions and logic are sometimes different from data algorithms. We will disregard our own safety to protect important people, and Xiaoxiang, you are also on this list of important people."

"..."

Xiaoxiang fell into a brief silence again. She lowered her head, her mechanical eyes shrinking frequently, as if she was thinking about Shen Qinyin's words at high speed.

After a while, she suddenly raised her head, staring at Shen Qiyin blankly, and said word by word with great seriousness: "As a metal creature, my body has no temperature except when I increase the power to run the engine.

However, humans are different. As homeothermic animals, their body temperature always remains within a relatively stable range.

I hope you can touch my body with your hands. I want to remember your temperature. Is that okay?"

"Of course, what's so difficult about that?"

Shen Qiyin stretched out her hand, thought for a moment, and finally placed her fingers gently on Xiaoxiang's forehead.

Unlike the temperature that a cold mechanical life form should have, Xiaoxiang's forehead felt slightly warm, perhaps because the CPU was overworking.

Xiaoxiang closed his eyes and carefully felt the warmth of Shen Qiyin's fingers. A kind of warmth beyond the code flowed through his body along with the data:

"I see, this is your temperature..."

“It’s a wonderful feeling, just like soaking in a hot spring.”

"However, as a mechanical life form, I shouldn't be able to enjoy hot springs like humans, right?"

"Anyway, I've taken note of your temperature."

"Thank you very much."

Xiaoxiang smiled warmly. Compared to her usual perfect and overly delicate smile, this time her smile seemed more human.

Shen Qiyin smiled and nodded, reaching out to rub Xiaoxiang's hair which was woven from countless nanofibers.

Almost at the same time, the notebook in her mind turned to a new page——

Chapter 74: Night Raid on the Bed! Tang Miao's Qualifications

The moment Shen Qiyin saw the Soul Resonance Chariot unlocked, an idea immediately popped up in her mind:

As expected...

Therefore, Xiaoxiang will have a new understanding of human beings and his own soul will begin to be born.

Under the "influence" of humans, robots gradually develop human-like emotions and eventually become human...

Hmm, it feels like a very old-fashioned setting.

But it's also a classic.

Shen Qiyin winked at Xiaoxiang and said, "I'll ask you to take care of me from now on, Xiaoxiang."

"Yes, Master. My duty is to serve you. You are the highest-level administrator in my database. Protecting your safety is the best instruction I have written into the core data."

Xiaoxiang turned his head and glanced out the window. The continuous thunderstorm and the endless fog at night were everywhere. His golden eyes narrowed a few times before he said:

"Master, it's 22:18 now. To get enough sleep, you should go to bed.

I will be on duty tonight and my sensors will sound an alarm if they detect any unknown threat."

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Shen Qinyin smiled and nodded slightly, her body slowly floating towards the bedroom.

At present, Xiaoxiang has awakened the Arcana of "Chariot", which means that she should have some improvement in "spirituality" like Tang Miao.

In other words, although Xiaoxiang still lacks the qualifications and cannot comprehend forbidden knowledge, nor can he equip the special equipment upgraded from his notebook, he has definitely made some progress compared to before.

For example, her sensors can now somewhat detect the presence of entities.

Previously, she could only sense some threat when the entity revealed its materialized form. If she continues to increase the level of resonance, she may be able to truly possess the qualifications and master special abilities.

When I returned to the bedroom, Tang Miao was already asleep.

Ever since they met, she has been sleeping on the floor in Shen Qinyin's bedroom. Although the floor is soft, Shen Qinyin feels quite guilty seeing how well-behaved she is.

Well, there is only one bed, so let her be a little more patient.

Shen Qinyin came to the window and opened a corner of the curtain. The heavy rain outside the window continued to fall, and the fog was wandering around as usual.

If it weren't the end of the world, this weather would be perfect for sleeping in.

Shen Qinyin looked at the rain outside the window, and her thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the thrilling battle during the day.

The ghostly, yet elusive, liquid outline of the girl in the rain seemed to be right in front of him, and even his skin could vaguely feel the lingering coldness of the other person.

Why did she give up the pursuit? If we leave the villa later, will her "enemy-hunting mechanism" still continue?

Shen Qiyin thought of many possibilities, such as the Girl in the Rain had already "carved" a "hunting mark" on them. No matter where they escaped or when they hid, they would eventually be found and killed by her, so she was not in a hurry.

It's also possible that she was really afraid of the person lurking in the villa's basement.

But according to Green Haze's experience, the lurker will not show any threat or breath at all unless outsiders enter the basement. If Green Haze can sense the existence of the lurker in advance, it will definitely not dare to chase into the basement.

Could it be that because the Girl in the Rain is stronger than Green Haze, she can detect lurkers that Green Haze cannot?

Oh, what a headache.

It would be nice to have more information to use as a reference.

Shen Qinyin sighed, turned off the desk lamp, slowly floated to the bed, and covered herself with the quilt.

The soft goose down quilt fits tightly against every inch of her skin, and the warm touch makes her sleepy. Less than five minutes after lying down, Shen Qinyin fell asleep due to the strong sleepiness.

After an unknown amount of time, a rustling sound woke her up from her sleep.

In a daze, she vaguely felt that her quilt was being turned over.

Then, a warm and soft touch came from behind, gently touching her back.

Shen Qinyin was drowsy and wanted to fall asleep again, but the next second, she suddenly opened her eyes as if she finally reacted!

Just as she was about to raise her left hand, she felt an arm reaching out from behind and gently embracing her slender waist.

The warm breath brushed against her fair neck, and with a slight tremor: "Qiyin, you are so cold."

There is no doubt that this is Tang Miao's voice.

"...You, what are you doing?"

Shen Qiyin didn't look back, feeling a little confused about Tang Miao's sudden action.

"I, I just had a nightmare."

Tang Miao swallowed, his thoughts still seeming to be stuck in the fear brought by the nightmare.

"I dreamed that you were dragged into the depths of a rainstorm by the Rain Girl. I was crying and shouting behind you, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't catch up."

"It's just a dream, there's no need to be so..."

As Shen Qiyin spoke, she turned around, and at that moment a bolt of thunder streaked across the sky.

With the help of the faint light from the lightning shining through the curtains, she saw Tang Miao's pale little face with tears in her eyes.

The words she wanted to say immediately became stuck in her throat. Shen Qiyin stammered, slowly stretched out her hand, moved close to her body, stroked her back with her fingers, and gently held her in her arms:

"I'm sorry to have worried you. This was an emergency. If there was a better way, I would not have made such a risky decision."

"You are always so strong..." Tang Miao's voice was a little bitter, "Because you think you are strong enough, you always want to take the responsibility of taking care of the weak on your shoulders.

Qiyin, I don't need you to be so brave, I just hope you can live well and don't get hurt."

"I know."

"No, you say that, but if it happened again, you would still do it. The reason is that I'm not strong enough. I'm too weak, so I always rely on your protection."

"That's not right," Shen Qiyin retorted firmly, "You've saved me so many times, Tang Miao. If it weren't for you today, my sister, Xiaoxiang, and I would have been in such a terrible situation."

"But I don't like this feeling. I would rather fight alongside you."

Tang Miao's voice choked. "I don't want to walk around in the safe house with your safety on my mind. It feels like ripping my heart out and throwing it into a frying pan with ten thousand ants gnawing at it..."

I have already lost my parents, and finally met someone as gentle as you. I found that I had inadvertently regarded you as my only spiritual support. If I really lose you, what should I do? "

The raindrops struck the glass windows in a rhythm like a whisper, and at the same time seemed to be hitting Shen Qinyin's heart, making her heartbeat become particularly rapid.

"I......"

Shen Qinyin felt her throat a little dry, and she actually felt a little nervous.

After struggling for a long time, she found that there were only three words she could say: "I'm sorry."

"It's not you who should apologize, but me..."

Tang Miao hugged Shen Qinyin tighter, as if she would leave her if she let go.

"I've always relied on you, Tang Miao." Shen Qiyin responded with a gentle smile, "Perhaps you haven't realized it yourself, but your support is very important to me, far more important than you think."

"You really don't want to comfort me?"

Tang Miao put his hands on Shen Qinyin's slender waist, applying slight force with his fingertips.

"Of course. Why would I lie about something like this?"

"..."

Shen Qinyin's words made Tang Miao's heart tremble violently, and the feeling of being stuck in a dead end before seemed to have suddenly found a way out.

She rested her ear on Shen Qinyin's chest, listening carefully to her slightly quickened heartbeat.

"Your heartbeat is accelerating. Are you really lying to me?"

"No, or not because you were too close."

Shen Qiyin inadvertently said something extraordinary, and she obviously didn't realize how important this ordinary response was to Tang Miao.

Tang Miaowu laughed, and at the same time, she promised Shen Qiyin in an extremely solemn tone:

"Qiyin, I swear, I will find a way to become stronger, and then it will be my turn to protect you. I don't want you to take risks alone anymore."

"Well, thank you, Tang Miao."

The moment the last word came out, the notebook in Shen Qinyin's mind turned to a new page again!
