Chapter 22: The Imprisonment of the Soul
Yun Shu looked around, not very interested in these jades, and his eyes were attracted by the photos on the other wall: "Who are these photos?" ā
"My forefathers." Mo Fan also turned around and pointed to one of the photos, "Oh, this is my dad." ā
"You look like your dad, does your dad live with you?" Yun Shu asked.
"My dad died a long time ago." Mo Fan said indifferently, "Our family is all short-lived ghosts, and my grandfather has lived a little longer." Maybe I'll live another ten years and be reunited with my dad. ā
Yun Shu thought for a while and said, "You can go for a genetic test to detect telomere length, the longer your telomere, the longer your lifespan, but life choices will shorten telomeres, so it's best not to smoke and drink." ā
Mo Fan glared at her: "Your IQ is so high, how can your EQ be so low?" I tell you such a sad secret, don't you know how to move and comfort you? And let me do what the hell test, how many people in this world want to know the length of their life? He sighed, "I'm still counting on Professor Ji, it's more reliable to research an elixir." ā
Yun Shu thought that his professional and sincere Jian YƬ was criticized by him for nothing, and when he heard him mention the professor, he hurriedly said: "This is still possible, the professor is doing research in this area, you should be able to catch up." ā
Mo Fan covered his face, expecting this woman with no emotional intelligence to sympathize and comfort herself.
Yun Shu didn't know Mo Fan's inner entanglement, turned to look at other photos, pointed to the one in the upper left corner and asked, "Is this your grandfather?" Looks like you. ā
Mo Fan said: "This is my grandfather's father, my great-grandfather, he is a doctor, and my family has only been in business since my grandfather's generation. ā
Yun Shu also noticed that the person in the photo was wearing a white coat, and the background of the photo seemed to be in the hospital, she pointed to the woman next to her and asked, "Is this your great-grandmother?" It's beautiful. ā
Mo Fan pointed to another single photo and said, "This is my great-grandmother, who is my great-grandfather's colleague." ā
Yun Shu nodded, looked at the photos one by one, and his eyes fell on a two or three-year-old ** children's photo: "Is this you?" ā
Mo Fan's face turned red, and he hurriedly covered it with his hand: "This one is not allowed to be seen." ā
Yun Shu glanced at him and looked away a little inexplicably.
Mo Fan touched his nose and said to Yun Shu: "If you like these jades or not, you can pick them." ā
"Nope." Yun Shu said truthfully.
Mo Fan was dissatisfied: "You can't give some face for the sake of my money!" Seeing that Yun Shu didn't react to his complaints, still studying the photos with great interest, Mo Fan's eyes flashed, he got a little closer, and asked, "Is Professor Ji good to you?" ā
Yun Shu finally paid attention to his question, thought for a while and said, "It's good, it's good, but the professor always says that I am independent and should have my own life, and sooner or later I will leave him." Yun Shu looked at Mo Fan and said seriously, "But I don't want to leave the professor at all." ā
Mo Fan couldn't help but smile: "I've been thinking about a problem recently, how to get you from Professor Ji, but I can't offend Professor Ji." There is only one way to think about it, an upright scholar like Professor Ji, and so respectful of human-like machines, will definitely respect your choice. So the way to do this is to make you fall in love with me. ā
Yun Shu searched in his mind and asked, "Can love not be separated?" ā
Mo Fan nodded vigorously.
"Then I still love the professor." Yun Shu said as he walked upstairs.
Mo Fan caught up: "But Professor Ji doesn't love you, you don't need to separate if you love each other, so you still love me." ā
Yun Shu paused, thoughtfully, and quickly stepped upstairs again.
The room had been cleaned spotlessly clean, and the smell of disinfectant could be faintly smelled in the air.
Yun Shu pushed the smart cleaning machine and handed Mo Fan an electronic display screen, "You sign." ā
Mo Fan quickly drew his name: "Are you going back to the hospital now?" ā
"Hmm." Yun Shu had already neatly packed his things and went out.
Mo Fan chased after him and asked, "When are you going to come out to eat?" ā
Yun Shu turned around and smiled: "Maybe you don't have time." ā
Back at the hospital, it was almost time to get off work, passing by the terrace on the first floor, I saw Yuan Yuan's boyfriend sitting on a bench, although he had only met once, Yun Shu remembered this person, and he obviously saw himself, shook his hand at her, and showed an impeccable smile.
Yun Shu also smiled at him and was about to go. Yuan Jing spoke: "Do you have time?" Come and sit down. ā
Yun Shu looked at him again, and he introduced himself with a bright smile: "I'm Yuan Yuan's boyfriend Yuan Jing, and you're Professor Ji's assistant, right?" ā
Yun Shu nodded, hesitated, but walked over, sat down on the chair next to him, and saw a heavy book on programming in his hand.
"Are you a programming professional?" Yun Shu was curious.
"No, I'm not set up for any major, it's my book on work, I'm self-taught." He paused, looked at it kindly, even Yun Shu, who was also a human-like machine, felt the warmth, kindness, and tolerance in his eyes, and he asked, "You are Professor Ji's assistant, you must be a biology major, right?" ā
Yun Shu nodded.
"Can I make a friend? What is your name? ā
"My name is Yun Shu."
Yuan Jing smiled and stretched out his slender and moist hand: "Let's shake hands." ā
Yun Shu stretched out his hand to shake him and asked him, "Are you looking for a job yourself?" ā
"Well, I don't want to always make Yuan Yuan so hard, I hope I can be independent." His gaze was cast on the flowerbed in the distance, his perfect face glowing with a soft glow of love.
"Do you love her very much?"
"I came into this world with the only task of loving her with all my might."
Yun Shu was silent and thought for a while, and asked, "What does love feel like?" ā
Yuan Jing looked at the flower bed in the distance with deep eyes: "It's like a kind of fate that can't be broken, like the soul is imprisoned, sometimes I have to admire the strength of human beings, the simple program setting is like the hand of fate for us, people can't break free." ā
Yun Shu couldn't understand Yuan Jing's emotion, and there was a faint doubt on his pure face: "When people are in love, the brain will continuously release specific chemicals including neurotransmitter hormones, which will stimulate the pleasure center of the brain and make people feel happy, why is it different from you?" ā
Yuan Jing smiled silently: "You're right, love can indeed make people feel happy, but how can this short-term happiness compete with the imprisonment in the depths of the soul!" ā
Yun Shu was speechless for a while, she couldn't understand and experience this complicated feeling. Yuan Jing didn't speak again, and the two sat silently for a moment. Yuan Jing looked at the time: "Yuan Yuan should get off work, see you next time." ā
Yun Shu waved his hand at him and watched him disappear around the corner before getting up and leaving.
