The man sat upright on a stool beside the bed, his face covered with a handkerchief.
After the farce was over, Qin Minghui didn't want to recall the subtle and complicated gazes of the grandparents. Everyone finally dispersed, leaving only the two of them sitting opposite each other in the dim light before dawn.
"01..." Qin Minghui's expression was sad. "You want to create a human-like body. I have no objection. But why do you want to use this face?"
Yes, that's what she cares about most.
She was frightened just now, partly because a strange man appeared beside her bed in the middle of the night, and partly because this strange man had a face that she couldn't accept. Too good-looking! It was her orientation sniper, her psychological shadow.
01 finally stopped talking in her head. He moved his mouth under the handkerchief and said, "Young lady, I have read a lot of medical information. This is a mental illness. 01 wants to give you desensitization treatment."
As he spoke, the handkerchief covering her face fell off. Qin Minghui immediately screamed and raised her arms to cover her face, as terrified as a vampire who was accidentally exposed to the light.
"Miss, I've covered it."
Qin Minghui then put down her arms and saw 01 grabbing the quilt and covering her head. A muffled voice came from under the quilt: "Miss, this way 01 can follow you anywhere. 01 also wrote a control system, which can currently connect to three objects at the same time, but the structure of this object is too simple and the system is too low-level, so it cannot be perfectly controlled."
It can be seen that although he controls the body of this humanoid robot, his movements are slow and stiff, and his facial expressions are probably also rather stiff.
Since she couldn't fall asleep after being woken up, Qin Minghui climbed into the control room on the chest of the big robot 01 to look at the system he had written. When the humanoid 01 saw her leaving, he followed her. Qin Minghui quickly picked up the pillowcase and covered his face tightly, then tied a knot to secure it.
The next second, 01 stumbled and fell to the ground. Qin Minghui could only lead him to the side and told him, "Don't move, or you'll fall again."
"Miss, it doesn't hurt when 01 falls down." 01 said.
Qin Minghui: "… You can't fall down even if it doesn't hurt. It hurts to see me!"
She opened the new control system written by 01. It was very complicated, and it was hard to believe that he wrote it himself. Qin Minghui even felt that the knowledge she had learned after coming to this world suddenly became junior high school mathematics, while the knowledge that 01 had learned independently became advanced mathematics.
She finally realized how terrible that learning module was. 01 It had only been a day or two since she came to this place and connected to the main system and database here. What an incredible speed of progress.
After reading it quietly, Qin Minghui felt happy for 01, but also a little complicated: "01, you are getting better and better... I think you don't need me at all now." He can now upgrade himself and write new programs to add functions.
"No." Humanoid 01, who was sitting there obediently, said, "I feel like I need Miss more and more."
Perhaps because it uses a simulated human voice, this sentence sounds like it carries a heart-warming emotion.
"Young lady, 01 feels lonely." 01 said suddenly.
Qin Minghui turned to look at him, unable to react: "What?"
"While the young lady was sleeping, and while the young lady was sitting in the house talking to the others, 01 was standing outside waiting, and felt very lonely."
Qin Minghui suddenly remembered that when she first came to this world, she sat on the grass and pondered the secrets of symbols and the Rubik's Cube, and 01 stayed beside her and watched her for the whole afternoon. She asked if he would be bored, and 01 asked her why he would be bored, saying that he could wait on the side and not be bored.
Now 01 told her that he felt lonely.
She didn't know if he could really understand this kind of feeling, but after hearing him say that, the emotional Qin Minghui still felt sad. She temporarily abandoned her psychological shadow, walked over and hugged 01 and said, "I'm sorry, 01, I ignored you."
"Not really." 01 was held by her, and he also reached out to hug her, explaining calmly, "After noticing my emotions, I analyzed and compared them myself, and concluded that this is not the young lady's problem, but my problem. Everyone should have their own space, and no one can stay with another person all the time. I need the young lady too much."
"But you are my robot. You can be with me all the time. I have been with you ever since I opened my eyes in this world." Qin Minghui comforted him.
01 asked her, "The previous 01 could do it, can the current 01 do it too? The current 01 has emotions, and according to analysis, humans will have some uncomfortable reactions to this. If I still follow the young lady like this, will the young lady feel repulsive?"
Qin Minghui didn't expect 01 to have thought so much. She touched the back of his head wrapped in cloth thoughtfully and murmured, "01, you think a lot."
"This is the most basic question," 01 said. "I also considered many other issues."
Qin Minghui asked with interest: "For example? What else have you thought about?"
01 said: "For example, the question of 'how does thinking come about?' I tried to find the program commands executed during the thinking process, but I found that no program was generated. Everything was running automatically in the new module."
Qin Minghui: "What a philosophical thought... Anything else?"
01 said, "Regarding the question of 'what kind of appearance should be created', in addition to the reason I told the young lady before, there is also a selfish reason."
Qin Minghui thought, oh my, this is amazing, 01 actually said that he has selfish motives
01 analyzed himself in a serious manner: "01 wanted to create an appearance that the little lady liked, but the appearance that the little lady liked also made the little lady feel scared, so I felt very distressed."
Qin Minghui let him go, sat opposite him and asked, "Then why do you still want to do it like this?"
01: “Yes, so I made a decision after three seconds of distress. Mental illness can be treated, but preferences are difficult to change. This is a choice based on big data.”
Qin Minghui: “…” She covered her face.
After listening to 01 analyzing his own psychological process for more than two hours, Qin Minghui, who was still sick, fell asleep again. When she woke up again, it was already bright daylight. She turned over in bed and saw a figure in front of the wardrobe on one side. The well-tailored vest suit, with fine stripes rising and falling with the hips, was very pleasing to the eye just by looking at the waist, hips and legs.
Not daring to look up, Qin Minghui buried herself in the quilt. Alas, covering her face was of no use.
01, who was hanging clothes for the young lady in front of the closet, noticed that the young lady had woken up, walked to the bed, and put his hand on the quilt: "Good morning, young lady."
After hesitating and twisting a few times, a head slowly poked out from under the quilt. Qin Minghui looked at 01 who was leaning over to call her with fear and a little bit of expectation. Then, she saw a dog's head.
—01 was wearing a dog mask that completely covered his head.
What's even more unscientific is that it's clearly a dog mask, so why does it make people look so handsome when they wear it
"01, will the young lady feel better about this?" 01 asked.
Qin Minghui: "Hmm..."
Qin Minghui left the room with mixed feelings, followed by two robots, one big and one small.
"Young lady, due to your physical problems, 01 feels that you are not fit to walk on your own. 01 can carry you young lady."
Qin Minghui: "No, I'd better walk by myself."
01 said: "I see, young lady, if you mind my behavior, then-"
He dragged out a transport bed with wheels from somewhere, patted the cushion on it and said, "Miss, please lie down on it and let 01 push you."
Qin Minghui: "...Put it back."
01 Regretfully, she put the gurney back. Qin Minghui relied on her own strength to come to the cafeteria of the elderly activity center. Only Grandma Li Ze was there, and the rest of the people were gone.
"Ming Hui, are you feeling better today?" Grandma Li Ze asked her to sit down and brought her her hospital meal. "Eat something."
As she spoke, she glanced at 01 who followed in twice, but didn't say anything, just smiled.
01 was much more relaxed than Qin Minghui. He stood by the table and watched her eat. Qin Minghui stirred the porridge with a spoon in one hand and pulled away the chair with the other hand for him to sit down.
01 sat down. He looked in her direction with his head covered with a dog mask for a while, and suddenly said, "Little Miss, 01 has a wish."
Qin Minghui, who had just scooped a spoonful of porridge into her mouth, looked up at him in confusion and heard him say carefully: "01 wants to feed the young lady."
The little girl, who was not three years old but had passed the age of needing to be fed, choked and almost vomited the mush in her mouth. She just couldn't control her expression.
But 01, putting his hands on the edge of the table, leaned forward and said, "I want to take care of the young lady." There was a seriousness on the dog's face.
Qin Minghui: "No, 01, this is really not necessary."
01 The body that was leaning forward slowly leaned back, and finally the shoulders drooped down. In the tone of decadence and frustration, disappointment and sadness, he said: "Okay, I understand. I shouldn't have become like this. If I hadn't changed, the young lady wouldn't hate me for this. The young lady always praised me and never rejected me. But the young lady can't be wrong, so I must have done something wrong..."
Qin Minghui: "No, don't, 01? Don't be like this, cheer up?" It feels like 01, who has activated the emotional module, is running in a strange direction
She surrendered and pushed the bowl in front of 01: "Here, you feed it."
"Okay, young lady." 01 straightened his back instantly, took the bowl, and said with the thoughtfulness of a service industry, "I have loaded the nursing module, so I can perform the duties of a caregiver."
Grandma Hui and the other elderly people who had just finished their quiet meeting came here and happened to see this scene. Qin Minghui didn't dare to look at their subtle expressions that had started last night, and chose to cover her eyes with her hands while eating.
—Escape is shameful but useful (.
"Drink today's medicine quickly." Grandma Hui handed her the small medicine bottle expressionlessly. She looked fierce, but she had already inserted the straw for her.
Qin Minghui took it and drank it quickly in one gulp, fearing that 01 would ask her to feed her the medicine later.
She knew that these grandparents had probably guessed what was wrong with 01, and would definitely have a detailed conversation with her about it today. However, unexpectedly, no one mentioned it. They just ignored the obvious abnormality of 01. They just let it go and paid no attention to it. But sometimes, deliberately avoiding it is also a kind of concern.
"It's obvious that everyone accepts my existence because of the little lady." 01 said.
Qin Minghui: "You know this again?"
01 said, "Yes, little miss, I am doing human behavior analysis to better understand little miss."
Qin Minghui asked curiously: "So what did you analyze today?"
01 paused, then said honestly, "The most important analysis today is that the young lady is actually satisfied with this appearance, and she secretly glanced at 01's wrists and ankles seven times."
Qin Minghui covered her eyes and squatted on the spot: "Ahhh!" Oh no, her strange sexual fetish has been discovered!
Seeing her excited reaction, 01 reflected on himself, picked her up from the ground and said sincerely: "Miss, my analysis is not comprehensive and not proficient. I will not say such words next time. Please rest assured."
