The weather was fine over the weekend, and it was past the hottest midsummer.

After breakfast, Ji Rong asked Yun Shu, "Do you have any arrangements today?" ”

Yun Shu shook his head.

Ji Rong pondered: "There is a non-governmental association of human-like machines, which mainly organizes some human-like activities and gatherings, are you interested in going and seeing?" If you want to go, I'll go with you. ”

"Why do you want to participate in this event?" Yun Shu was curious.

Ji Rong patiently explained: "Although I hope you can integrate into human society, I also hope that you can have some friends with the same identity, after all, the rules and laws of human society still serve human beings." The social environment is like this, you can make some friends with the same status, and you will also have a sense of belonging and security. ”

The activity is arranged in a private villa. When Ji Rong took Yun Shu into the door, all eyes were on them. Xu Ke, who organized this event, introduced to everyone: "This is Yun Shu, she is a humanoid machine like us, and this one next to her is Mr. Ji Rong, the owner of Yun Shu." They are welcome to join. ”

After everyone expressed their welcome, Xu Ke continued: "Our organization is a big family of human-like machines, and we are very fortunate that our master has enough respect for us, cares for us, and helped us set up such an organization. ”

After Ji Rong thanked everyone, he said calmly: "I want to correct what Ms. Xu Ke said just now, I hope Ms. Xu Ke doesn't mind." Yun Shu and I are relatives, friends, and colleagues, but I can't call her master. She is an independent and free individual in my heart, and we respect and love each other. She has the right to choose one qiē at her own discretion. ”

After a brief silence in the room, an elderly lady in her fifties stood up with a hoarse voice: "Mr. Ji is right, as human beings, we should indeed be like this. She looked at the humanoid machine around her and sighed, "Dada has been with me all my life, and I didn't realize until today, after listening to Mr. Ji's words, that I didn't do enough for her, and I never saw her as an independent individual in my heart." ”

The human beings present nodded in agreement.

Dada, a beautiful and young humanoid with long curly brown hair, helped the older lady to sit down and comforted her: "You have been good enough to me, don't beat yourself." ”

Xu Ke turned his inquiring gaze to Yun Shu: "Yun Shu, do you have anything to share with everyone?" ”

Yun Shu hurriedly waved his hand, indicating no.

Ji Rong saw that she was a little uncomfortable, and held her hand comfortably.

Xu Ke smiled and said to Yun Shu: "Our association is mainly to give human-like machines a platform to share and communicate with each other, and we usually organize some outdoor trips, hiking and other activities, and you will slowly get used to it, and you can completely relax here." ”

Yun Shu nodded.

By the end of the two-hour exchange activity, Yun Shu had already adapted a lot.

Ji Rong accompanied her to participate twice, and in order to better train her, there were a few times when she was asked to participate alone, and she was able to cope with it completely.

In the second month, Yunshu began to participate in outdoor activities. Although it was only two days and one night of outdoor camping, Ji Rong was still very uneasy, this was the first time that he had let her go alone without personally confirming the safety situation.

Before leaving, Ji Rong gave the prepared equipment to Yun Shu and told him one by one: "Put the tent in the outermost bag, you can't get it alone, ask a friend to help." This is a sleeping bag that you wear at night. This is the moisture-proof mat. Don't bring the stove, it's dangerous to get it wrong, I've prepared something for you to eat. There is also a flashlight in this small pocket that you can use at night, as well as some first aid medicines. Call me if you have any problems. ”

Yun Shu nodded in agreement.

Ji Rong put the things in the car for her, and asked uneasily, "Can you be alone?"

It was the first time for Yun Shu to participate in such an event, and he felt fresh and happily replied: "I can." I remember everything you said, and I will pay attention to safety. ”

Sending Yun Shu away, Ji Rong was a little dazed all day. When it got dark, he checked the precautions for camping on the Internet again, but unexpectedly saw reports such as "travelers camping were stolen, robbed, and female travelers were harassed", and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and called Yunshu: "Have you arrived at the camp?" ”

Yun Shu replied on the other end of the phone: "It's already here, the tent has been set up." ”

Ji Rong hurriedly said: "You see if there are any same-sex travelers with big tents, you and they will spend the night." It's too unsafe for you to sleep alone. ”

"Oh." Yun Shu agreed.

"Don't hang up the phone, you go and ask now, I'll wait for you."

Ji Rong held the phone and heard Yun Shu's walking and talking. After a while, I heard Yun Shu reply: "I asked two people, they both came with their families, and it was inconvenient to stay overnight." ”

"Are there any other female travelers?"

"Nope."

Ji Rong was a little annoyed for a while. It was his negligence that he didn't even take this into account.

He said to the phone: "I'll drive over now, about three hours to come, and during this time you will get together with everyone, chat, and have a bite to eat." Without waiting for Yun Shu to say anything, he hurriedly hung up the phone and went out with the car keys.

When Ji Rong arrived at the camp, it was close to midnight, and he drove for three hours, and he had to walk for an hour from the parking point to the campsite, and the car couldn't drive in at all.

Many travelers had already slept, and there were a few energetic people talking around the fire, while Yun Shu obeyed Ji Rong's instructions and sat by the fire listening to others' conversations, drowsy. Until a familiar voice sounded from behind, she suddenly came to her senses.

"Yun Shu." Ji Rong's face was full of tiredness, his always neat appearance was a little messy at this time, and the worry on his face finally relaxed at the moment he saw Yun Shu.

Yun Shu hurriedly got up and walked to Ji Rong's side, looking at Ji Rong's tired appearance, she suddenly felt uncomfortable, and muttered: "In the future, I will never come out alone." ”

Ji Rong comforted her: "It's okay, this time I was negligent, it's not your fault, it's good that you often participate in such activities, I will make sure it's safe to let you out in the future, don't worry." ”

The campers are resting one after another.

In the camp tent, Ji Rong laid out the moisture-proof mat, opened the sleeping bag, and said to Yun Shu: "Put this on your body, it's still very cold at night." ”

"What about you?" Yun Shu didn't move.

"I'll just do it for one night."

Yun Shu shook his head: "You sleep in it, I'm not cold." ”

"It's getting late now, be obedient, put this on, and I'll be on my way tomorrow."

Yun Shu shook his head again, thought for a while, and said, "This bag looks quite big, both of us can sleep in it." ”

Ji Rong paused slightly, and then said lightly: "Okay." ”
