After a few days of familiar daily life at home, Li Haojun's heart, stirred by Sophie, seemed to have calmed down again. He never invested too much energy in unrealistic fantasies; for him, the investment and reward lay in his solar farm. Every day, after finishing their respective company matters with Qin Wenjing, he would come to his little haven and tinker with what he wanted to do.
Qin Wenjing was very at ease with Li Haojun. Years of friendship and the deep trust she held in him meant that Qin Wenjing understood and trusted Li Haojun even more than he did. However, trust couldn't replace companionship, so once she finished her own business, she would come to the basement to see what Li Haojun was doing.
Today was no different. Qin Wenjing came to the basement and saw Li Haojun assembling something on a workbench.
"What are you doing, great inventor?" Qin Wenjing asked with a chuckle.
"Oh, don't even mention it, this silly dog got hit by a car,"275Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlNgKXru3H
Qin Wenjing walked closer and saw it was the shopping robot dog from a few days ago, somehow involved in a traffic accident and currently being repaired.
"Why are you spending so much time on a dog instead of spending time with me?" Qin Wenjing asked reproachfully.
Li Haojun looked up at her and teased, "What, are you going to fight with the dog for it?"
"Oh yeah, I'm fighting with the dog, fighting with you, you stinky dog poop, okay?" Qin Wenjing playfully bickered with Li Haojun, pouting and twisting her head from side to side to annoy him. She then walked around to Li Haojun, intending to sit next to him. But seeing the parts scattered all over the floor, she couldn't get close and could only hug her shoulders and observe.
Seeing this, Li Haojun shoved the parts aside, intending to touch them more intimately, but then remembered his hands were covered in grime. He sniffed them—the smell of oil and rust was unbearable. How could he possibly touch Qin Wenjing like that? So he hurried towards the bathroom.
Qin Wenjing watched his retreating figure, a smile on her face, feeling secretly delighted. She stood there, gazing in his direction, waiting sweetly.
A moment later, Li Haojun returned, one arm around her waist, the other around her back, pulling Qin Wenjing into his embrace, though his hands were still a little damp and cold. He caressed her waist and back, kissing her neck and earlobes.
These moments were so wonderful, but Qin Wenjing couldn't understand why Li Haojun insisted on spending his time here instead of staying home with her. So she asked,
"Why are you doing all this? Wouldn't it be better if you just stayed with me?"
"I made it so I could spend more time with you."
"I don't need a robot dog."
"It's not about it keeping you company, it's about it being able to do many things for us in the future, so we'll have more time together, right?"
"Oh, what can it do?"
"Like, it can run errands for us, buy things,"
"Oh, do we really need it to do that?" Qin Wenjing asked, puzzled, wondering if it would really be useful." “Actually, it can do more than that; you’ll find out later.”
“Okay, so you’ve learned to keep secrets from me,” Qin Wenjing said, pointing to the computer monitor. “Have you been secretly chatting up girls online?”
Li Haojun looked at Qin Wenjing’s eyes, staring directly into them, and said, “Look at my age, my circumstances. The girls I like don’t like me, and the girls who like me don’t like me. I’m not wasting my time on them. I’m satisfied with you.”
Qin Wenjing suppressed a laugh, remaining silent, looking up at Li Haojun.
Today she wore a white shirt with large floral patterns, a low-saturation sunflower pattern with yellow petals, brown stamens, and green leaves. The sheer white fabric was both cool and flattering. She wore low-waisted blue jeans without a belt, the waistband digging into her hips.
Li Haojun looked down at her smiling face and gently kissed her lips. She remained smiling and silent. Li Haojun wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her again. She tilted her head back, responding to his kisses while swaying her body like a sunflower basking in the early summer breeze. Li Haojun was his sun; she was warmed by his sunshine, grew under his light, and blossomed because of his attention.
Qin Wenjing swayed, as if wanting every leaf of her body to receive the warmth of the sun, and Li Haojun's hands seemed to be like every ray of sunlight filtering through the leaves, wandering over her body.
Her back, her waist, her shoulders, her hips, her collarbone…
After a passionate kiss, Qin Wenjing reluctantly released his lips, tilting her head back to look into Li Haojun's eyes, and softly asked, “What if a beautiful woman were to fall for you?”
“You mean you?” Li Haojun asked with a smile, pulling Qin Wenjing closer to his chest.
“What if a beautiful woman were to pursue you?”
“Silly girl, I’m not a child anymore. Do you think I’d agree just because she pursues me? I don’t even know who she is,”
“Then, what would it take for you to agree?” Qin Wenjing asked, her voice drawn out, her tone coquettish.
“She should pursue me for a year first, to see if she’s a decent person, if she can be loyal and devoted. If she hasn’t been with anyone else for a year, then we can talk,” Li Haojun said with a smile.
“Hmph, no wonder you only have me as your woman. No one else would serve you.” Qin Wenjing pouted, but secretly she was delighted. Still unwilling to give up, she pressed on, asking,
"What if there really is someone you like who's pursuing you like this? What would you do?"
Li Haojun chuckled. "Do you think I could?"
"I'm just asking you, what could I do?" With that, Qin Wenjing turned her head, squinted, and looked at Li Haojun with a flirtatious smile. Perhaps it was a woman's inherent competitive spirit; she was determined to get to the bottom of things.
"What else could I do?" Li Haojun said helplessly. "I'd just tell her that's how things are. I'll live with you. If she wants to be with me, she can live with both of us. If she's not happy, then I can't accept her enthusiasm."
"Oh, you're so greedy! You want both of us to serve you?" Qin Wenjing said exaggeratedly, opening her mouth wide in annoyance, poking Li Haojun's forehead with her finger. "Do you think you're an emperor?"
Although Qin Wenjing complained, a sweet smile graced her face. She knew that, as a woman, she had won.
After their intimacy, Li Haojun pulled her hand and sat her down at the computer, showing her the monitoring footage of each process.
"Look, this is the robot dog's vision and motion control module. In the future, it can also be used for robots that control birds and fish, or, with the addition of a general intelligent model, it can be applied to robots..." As he spoke, the smile on Li Haojun's face gradually froze.
"What's wrong? Why are you unhappy?"
"Nothing," Qin Wenjing hesitated, then answered softly.
"If there's something wrong, just tell me. What exactly is affecting you?" Li Haojun held her hand, shaking it gently to encourage her to tell him the reason.
"I thought of before, before you lost your memory,"
"Oh? Did I also make robot dogs back then? Or robots?" Li Haojun pretended it was insignificant, asking in a light tone.
"No, you were also working on artificial intelligence or something back then," Qin Wenjing said, seemingly unwilling to delve into further memories, saying nothing more and ceasing to think about it.
"Oh, don't worry, it's not like what I did caused that inevitable result. Maybe it's just a coincidence." "Li Haojun feigned composure, thought for a moment, and said, "The company doesn't allow us to use AI robots, but they didn't say we couldn't do research."
"Hmm, not really." Qin Wenjing answered expressionlessly and woodenly.
Li Haojun put his arm around Qin Wenjing's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I won't let that happen again. I'll be careful." After saying that, Li Haojun seemed to think of something and asked, "Do you and I have chips inside our bodies?"
Qin Wenjing didn't speak, but nodded, and then explained, "They're for identification, because there might be clones in the quasi-interstellar residential areas. Of course, it's not random cloning; there's regulation, but many companies or organizations have this capability, so they need to identify people."
"So, are we being listened to when we're doing this?" Li Haojun asked jokingly.
"Not really, it's just identification information." Qin Wenjing thought for a moment after saying that, "Maybe, who knows what other functions the chip might have." "That's the rule here. We have a superior working environment and pay, better healthcare, but we also have to pay the price of freedom and privacy. There's no free lunch."
"How did I join this company in the first place?" Li Haojun asked, curious about the past.
"I don't know," Qin Wenjing thought for a moment and then continued, "You came before me, I don't know what you were thinking." Hearing this, Li Haojun chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Oh dear, I don't remember what I was thinking either, but why didn't I learn from you and turn myself from 46 to 26?" Hearing this, Qin Wenjing finally smiled again and said, "Why don't you turn yourself back into a kindergartener?"
"Hmph, that would work too, I could just not go to work and ask you for money. Sister, sister, I want cotton candy," Li Haojun teased her, mimicking a child's inability to pronounce the retroflex consonant.
"Call me Mommy and I'll buy you candy, call me Mommy." Qin Wenjing's cheerful mood returned, and she started teasing Li Haojun.
"Mom, I want to eat Zha Zha..."
"Get lost, trying to take advantage of me again," Qin Wenjing said, shoving Li Haojun.
Li Haojun was eager to know about the past. Seeing that her mood had improved, he asked her again, "So how did you get this company?"
"I met John by chance while I was looking for a job. He was doing sales on the West Coast at the time. It was a perfect fit for my major, and the company offered good benefits, but the restrictions were strict, requiring me to meet the requirements of a quasi-interstellar citizen and abide by relevant laws."
"Is this difficult?" Li Haojun asked as he listened.
"After the review period, I managed to do it. Another requirement is that some products reach the human trial stage, and employees have to participate personally,"
"Being guinea pigs!" Li Haojun said bluntly.
"Yeah, but we're producing products related to life and health, so being able to use them for free is a kind of benefit." As she spoke, Qin Wenjing deliberately acted coquettishly, throwing herself into Li Haojun's arms. "Don't you like me looking younger?"
"Of course I do! Hey, why didn't I make myself younger too?"
"Because I like it!" "Otherwise," Qin Wenjing said loudly and decisively, then deliberately adopted a sinister expression and tone, "I'll wait until you're asleep, then secretly force-feed you the medicine, and say, 'Dalang, it's time to take your medicine.'" Then, her expression brightened as she smiled, "I just like older men, so what?!" Li Haojun laughed heartily, "If you like it, that's fine, I don't care." Li Haojun pondered the context of Qin Wenjing's response, not wanting to ask any more unpleasant questions. However, seeing her unrestrained joy and anger, Li Haojun knew she was happy, and as long as she was happy, it seemed her happiness was his happiness.
