"How about it? Did you reject him?" Cen Yun was sitting in a milk tea shop not far from the coffee shop. From her angle, she could just see Zhu Shuangyao and Huo Qizheng. Seeing Zhu Shuangyao coming over, she was eager to know the result.
"I've already rejected him." Thinking of Huo Qizheng's face, Zhu Shuangyao couldn't help smiling. "Miss Cen, I think that Mr. Huo is quite nice. Why don't you like him?"
Cen Yun helped her order a cup of milk tea. Hearing her say this, she said matter - of - factly, "No matter how handsome he is, he's not the one I love. Loving someone isn't just about loving their looks. I only love my boyfriend. He's extremely jealous. If he knew I went on a blind date with someone else, even if he knew I was going to reject the person, he'd definitely get angry again."
"But I couldn't avoid this blind date. If I didn't go, I'm afraid they'd target A Jing again. A Jing has already worked so hard. I can't cause him any more trouble." By the end, her voice was barely audible.
"Miss Cen, what did you say?" Zhu Shuangyao couldn't quite hear.
Realizing these words shouldn't be heard by outsiders, Cen Yun said coquettishly, "I said my boyfriend is really too jealous."
Although she was blaming him on the surface, it was obvious to anyone with eyes that her expression was full of sweetness and tenderness. Zhu Shuangyao couldn't help feeling a bit envious. She'd never been in a relationship before and really wanted to have one. She just hadn't met the right person before, but now she had!
"Miss Cen, I want to chase Mr. Huo. I fell in love with him at first sight." Zhu Shuangyao's eyes sparkled like stars, as if they contained the entire galaxy. "I hope you won't mind."
"You want to chase him? Go ahead, go ahead." Cen Yun didn't care who Huo Qizheng ended up with. As long as she had her Lu Jing, that was enough.
Cen Yun took out her phone and said to Zhu Shuangyao, "Okay, scan the code to pay. Remember to keep it a secret."
Zhu Shuangyao also took out her phone and showed her QR code. She could get five thousand yuan just for going on a blind date for someone else. She was really grateful to Miss Cen's boyfriend and sincerely hoped the two of them would grow old together.
Just as Cen Yun finished paying, a handsome man walked into the milk tea shop. He was extremely tall, and his bearing in every gesture was beyond ordinary people. He walked straight to Cen Yun and sat down beside her. "Yunyun. Did you have a good time?"
Presumably this was Miss Cen Yun's boyfriend. Zhu Shuangyao said sensibly, "I have something to do. I'll leave first." She didn't want to be here to watch them show their affection. After saying that, she picked up her bag and left.
As soon as she walked out of the milk tea shop, her phone rang. The caller ID showed it was her childhood friend, Guan Shengying. Zhu Shuangyao answered, and heard the other person say, "Yaoyao, it seems that Uncle and Aunt are back. Hurry home."
Mom and Dad are back?
Zhu Shuangyao said excitedly, "Okay! I'll be back right away!"
She checked her class schedule and found that she had no classes tonight. She immediately sent a message to the dormitory group: I'm going home today. Help me deal with the dormitory supervisor!
The other three people all said it was no problem and they were completely okay with it.
Only then did Zhu Shuangyao happily call a car and go home. Her parents worked in a technology company and were on business trips all year round. They'd be away on business for one or two years without coming home. The longest time they didn't come home was five years. Nine out of ten times when she called, the phone was out of reach. If it weren't for the occasional call back, she would have called the police.
It was rare for her parents to come home today. She had to give them a surprise!
"Artificial Intelligence Butler... Cleaning your house, guarding your home... Your best choice..."
When Zhu Shuangyao was passing by Tianhai Square in the car, the LED screen in the square was playing an advertisement for the newly - released artificial intelligence butler. She immediately decided to buy two. Anyway, she had just earned some money today, and with her savings, it was more than enough!
Her parents were often on business trips and had very poor self - care abilities. Fortunately, Uncle Li San and Aunt Liu Si often went on business trips with them, so they didn't starve to death. Even if this AI butler was a bit stupid, it must have a timing function at least. It could at least supervise them to eat. So Zhu Shuangyao simply asked the driver to turn to the store and bought two.
Zhu Shuangyao happily returned home with the gifts. As soon as she opened the door, the house was completely quiet. There was no sign of anyone, not even a shadow. Could it be that her brother was wrong? She couldn't help feeling a bit disappointed.
"Surprise!"
Dad and Mom rushed out of the room with gifts. "Happy birthday, dear daughter!"
Guan Shengying was waving fluorescent sticks frantically behind Dad and Mom. "Happy birthday, Yaoyao!"
Today... was her birthday? She'd been so busy recently that she'd forgotten.
Zhu Shuangyao threw herself into her parents' arms, her eyes red. "Mom and Dad, welcome back! Your coming back is the best gift for me."
After a heartfelt conversation, the four of them sat at the dinner table with a cake in front of them. Zhu Shuangyao took out the AI intelligent butlers she bought. This intelligent butler was in the shape of a silver ball the size of a palm. After pressing the start button, it could turn into a robot as tall as a calf.
This robot could not only fold clothes but also mop and sweep the floor. It could do simple household chores at home, perform simple first - aid, scan people's physical conditions, release a protective shield in an emergency, and feedback real - time data and so on. Not to mention a small function like reminding people to eat.
Zhu Shuangyao excitedly introduced this AI butler to her parents and repeatedly told them that they must take this little robot with them, otherwise they'd always forget to eat. But in her excitement, she didn't notice the subtle expressions on her parents' faces when they saw the two robots.
Guan Shengying said, "I also bought one for my mom yesterday. She took it on a business trip and said it was quite useful. She originally asked me to buy one for Yaoyao too, but I didn't expect Uncle and Aunt to buy one for Yaoyao."
"Did Mom and Dad buy a robot for me too?" Zhu Shuangyao looked at her parents curiously.
Mom and Dad quickly said, "Yes, yes. We also bought one. It's a new model that isn't available on the market yet. We asked someone to get it specially for Yaoyao from inside. It can just replace your smart bracelet."
Zhu Shuangyao looked at the smart bracelet on her hand, and the smile in her eyes faded a bit.
When she was nine years old, the original owner was abducted by human traffickers. Before the rescue arrived, she died of a high fever. At the same time, the current Zhu Shuangyao died while saving someone and came to this world. Then she was rescued and sent back to her parents. The next year, there was a technological leap, almost twenty years more advanced than her previous world. This kind of smart bracelet was quickly developed. Her parents also asked someone to buy the top - level bracelets for her and Brother Ying, for fear that something would happen to her again.
Mom and Dad also said, "By the way, we also bought one for A Ying. A Ying, you can try it."
Mom and Dad took out two small golden balls. This small ball was one - circle smaller than the one Zhu Shuangyao bought. Dad said, "The starting method is the same. It has more functions than the silver ball. It can turn into a necklace or a bracelet according to your description. It can detect toxins and has a lie - detection function. By the way, this is the instruction manual. You can all take it and have a look."
Zhu Shuangyao and Guan Shengying took the instruction manual. After quickly browsing through it, Guan Shengying couldn't help laughing. "The functions are quite complete. It seems that I won't have to worry about being secretly murdered after I inherit the tens of billions of family property."
"What tens of billions of family property?" Zhu Shuangyao asked curiously.
