"Sorry, I didn't mean to…"
He Yunzhou whispered very uncomfortably.
"It's okay, but I still strongly recommend that you consider my proposal."
After Li Fu finished speaking, he turned the laptop in a circle and pointed the screen at He Yunzhou.
It wasn't until this time that He Yunzhou knew that Li Fu had been typing on the computer before, and he was actually inquiring about air tickets and hotels.
"Huh? But, I..."
"I strongly suggest that you get out of the current environment and find another place to relax, and then think about what you are struggling with." Li Fu shrugged his shoulders, "From my personal point of view, the conflict between you and a certain man is really serious. It's kind of... incomprehensible. Maybe go to another place, calm down and you'll have a better idea of what you're afraid of."
Thinking through your thoughts carefully
He Yunzhou stared blankly at the computer screen, and the words of refusal stuck in his throat inexplicably.
…
On the top of the building in Xingfu Garden Community, Huo Zheng nestled on the sofa, staring blankly at the virtual portrait in front of him in a daze.
I don't know why I still live here until now. I can see the house belonging to He Yunzhou when I look up every day when I go home, and then I feel so heartbroken that I can't breathe.
But when Li Yu, who knew everything, proposed to move away, Huo Zheng still instinctively refused.
Of course, the reason for him was that the CALO system placed in the large flat on the top floor still needs some time for actual use and debugging, but both he and Li Yu knew that this was just a poor excuse.
Occasionally, for a moment, even Huo Zheng himself would resent the humble position he played in this matter-but this still couldn't stop him from being poisoned, completely unable to let go of He Yunzhou, and reluctant to leave this building with He Yunzhou residential building.
Just like being a fool.
"Mr. Huo, you don't seem to be in a good condition? Is there anything you need help with? If there is anything I can do, please let me know. "
Huo Zheng's breathing was a bit heavy, and then there was a sweet and soft voice coming from the microphones scattered in every corner of the room. The electronic sound after updating the algorithm is no longer as bland and indifferent as people think, but has a lot more "human touch".
Just like now, when CALO's projection uttered that sentence, even if he knew it, it was only because the health system detected something wrong with his physical signs in real time, but Huo Zheng could still hear some emotions similar to worry from that electronic voice .
Huo Zheng lowered his eyes indifferently, not caring about CALO's "concern".
During the day, when I tried to debug the product, I found out that other people are very satisfied with the humanized performance of CALO. The company's top management, colleagues in other departments, and the internal staff of the R&D department are all keen to interact with CALO. After all, it seems so gentle, considerate and considerate after eliminating all hidden dangers... getting along with it is simply better than a real human being. Ten thousand times more comfortable.
Even Li Yu, who has been by Huo Zheng's side all the time, slipped his mouth several times, saying that if the product continues to be developed, it's fine even if he doesn't fall in love or get married for the rest of his life.
[... You know what a fart.]
This was the first thought that flashed into Huo Zheng's mind after hearing these words.
No matter how detailed and realistic the emotions simulated by CALO are, Huo Zheng can still clearly distinguish how different the artificially calculated emotions are from real tenderness.
Once the true feelings are accepted, the false warmth will appear extraordinarily empty.
Probably because of this, Huo Zheng seemed to be more numb than everyone else when facing CALO despite the fact that he relied on CALO's all-round care to survive the extremely painful time.
no the same.
totally different.
Every cell in his body was screaming that at him frantically.
The meals copied from five-star chefs in all directions, the most meticulous and thoughtful daily service, the convenience of being on call 24 hours a day—but there is still no way to cheer Huo Zheng up.
"I don't need anything."
Huo Zheng said softly to Calo in a hoarse tone.
I just want my boat to come back to me.
Huo Zheng repeated in his heart.
Even now, when you close your eyes, the first thing that comes to mind is He Yunzhou's face, always gentle eyes, and a reassuring faint smile.
In the eyes of others, he should be just an ordinary and handsome man, but as long as he thinks of that man's face, Huo Zheng's heart still throbs with disappointment.
"CALO, turn on the pet care system."
Tongue and lips seemed out of control, Huo Zheng ordered to the empty house.
"OK."
The CALO system responded softly, without a hint of impatience.
This is the difference between artificial intelligence and real humans. After all, if it is a human being, no matter how rigorously trained it is, the behavior of switching systems repeatedly in the past few days will feel puzzled and irritated.
With the opening of the pet custody mode, both the air purification system and the ground dust removal system have begun to increase frequency.
But these are not the reasons why Huo Zheng switched to this mode.
He looked around the empty house and took a deep breath before speaking into the microphones scattered throughout the house.
"Meow… "
He learned to meow.
That protracted voice and extraordinarily loud name was learned from the chubby and greedy big orange cat in memory.
At the beginning, he was not very proficient in meowing, but after so many days, his meowing has become very realistic.
"Don't be afraid, I will be here with you."
A clear and soft male voice came from somewhere in the room.
That was the voice he asked He Yunzhou to record in the system when he planned to travel to Hokkaido and wanted to take the pumpkin home.
At that time, he was actually just afraid that Pumpkin would be a little nervous in the new environment. Even though he knew it was useless, he still recorded He Yunzhou's soothing voice.
As long as the pumpkin's disturbed cry is sensed, the recording will automatically repeat and release cat hormones and some small toys to divert the cat's attention.
However, the two people who were enthusiastic at the time never thought that the last trial person of this recording would be a human being.
...that is, Huo Zheng himself.
Whenever he feels that he is about to collapse because of this broken love, he will tune out this recording for himself to listen to.
Then, for a very short moment, he could forget everything and pretend that He Yunzhou was still by his side.
The only problem is, once he comes back to himself, he's going to sink deeper into depression and heartbreak than before.
He has always been just a substitute for a cat—no matter how much time has passed, Huo Zheng still feels like he can't breathe when he thinks about it. The tenderness and sincerity that made him fall headlong into the big pit of He Yunzhou, all because he reminded He Yunzhou of the dead cat.
Huo Zheng had never been so embarrassed in his life.
"I thought that in this world, someone would really like the real me."
He murmured to the CALO system.
"...It turns out I'm just a stand-in for a dead cat."
It's just that CALO, who has been switched to a pet care system, is not particularly sensitive to human voices, and did not respond to his miserable murmur.
Huo Zheng's heart became even colder.
Glancing at the time, it was already early in the morning, and there would be no one else staying there without incident downstairs in the community.
He rubbed the space between his brows, then cursed at himself, then grabbed his coat and walked straight out the door.
Ever since he quarreled with He Yunzhou and ran away in embarrassment, Huo Zheng had completely cut off any contact with He Yunzhou on the surface, but in fact, every few days, Huo Zheng would go downstairs silently because he couldn't control his emotions. , looking at He Yunzhou's house in a daze for a long time.
Thanks to He Yunzhou's habit of staying up late as a freelancer, so in the early morning, only his house in the whole building will reveal a thin light.
Huo Zheng had to admit that he was very disappointing on this point, because it was the light that caught his eyes at night that allowed him to continue his work with an elite and calm appearance during the day.
But this night, the light that had been supporting him disappeared.
Huo Zheng stood downstairs with cold hands and feet, staring fixedly at the dark window, completely ill.
I must have fallen asleep.
he said to himself.
After all, He Yunzhou laughed and teased many times back then, no matter what, he needs to go to bed earlier... No, but that person never did it...
Or is he sick
Did you go to bed early this morning because you were not feeling well
As soon as this thought broke into Huo Zheng's mind, he could no longer control his body.
He directly took the elevator and rushed all the way to He Yunzhou's door, subconsciously wanting to knock on the door.
But at the last moment, his movements froze and he stopped in place.
What the hell am I doing
Huo Zheng questioned himself.
That person just treats you like a cat! When you are completely fascinated by his deep affection and righteousness, your status in his heart is actually the same as that of a pumpkin!
The little devil in his heart let out a presumptuous laugh.
Huo Zheng turned around at He Yunzhou's door, just wanting to leave like this.
However, his feet seemed to be stuck to the ground, and he didn't want to stay away from the gate of He Yunzhou's house no matter what.
With his back against the door of He Yunzhou's house, he slowly slid and sat down.
Sitting at the very familiar door, countless warm and sweet memories circled in his mind. In fact, it's not that I didn't hear the second half of what He Yunzhou said that day, that I no longer regarded him as a cat, but really liked him or something...
But Huo Zheng couldn't convince himself to believe He Yunzhou's words no matter what.
He was very skeptical that He Yunzhou was just forced by his marriage proposal and had to tell the truth. In the end, seeing that he reacted too violently, I tried to comfort him.
There was a thin door, but Huo Zheng felt that there was a natural moat between himself and happiness.
Huo Zheng just sat quietly by He Yunzhou's doorway thinking, emotionally fluttering, sad and happy... Then, accidentally, he fell asleep.
"You, how are you?"
When he woke up again, what appeared in front of Huo Zheng was a girl who was a little flustered.
"Sir, are you unwell?"
The girl met Huo Zheng who had just woken up, and took a few steps back vigilantly, but once her eyes fell on his face, she stopped quickly.
"I... um... dawn?"
Huo Zheng rubbed his sore neck, looked at the already bright sky in the corridor, and was surprised to find that he actually sat and slept in front of He Yunzhou's house all night.
"Sorry, I just accidentally fell asleep here."
He apologized vaguely, then stood up.
"..."
"..."
An awkward silence spread between him and the girl.
Huo Zheng didn't move, neither did the girl.
The girl acted as if Huo Zheng blocked the door of her house.
"Sir, are you going home first?"
Facing the silent Huo Zheng, the girl retreated a little more without a trace, and then probed suspiciously.
Huo Zheng looked back at He Yunzhou's house number, and then at the girl.
Finally, his eyes fixed on the cat bag in the girl's hand.
"Who are you from Yunzhou?"
he asked.
Upon hearing He Yunzhou's name, the girl suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked Huo Zheng up and down for a long time, and after recognizing Huo Zheng's shockingly priced coat brand, she let down her vigilance.
"Ah, I'm his editor, and my name is Xiaoxi." Xiaoxi explained, "He's going on a trip with his friends for a few days, please come to his house to pick up the cat for foster care."
The author has something to say: Someone will soon figure out that being a cat is nothing.
Being a cat can still be masturbated every day, hee.
