Chapter 9: Before Dawn

A steaming, warm cup of hot chocolate rests gently in my hand. I could smell the sweet aroma on the side of my face, but I was so sleepy that I still didn't have the strength to open my eyes.

"Don't stay up, if you want to sleep, wash up and sleep well." Jacob still hasn't changed his habits when he was a teammate, and he always supervises my daily life.

"We're almost done. Let me rest for a moment. I hummed and chirped, and lay on the table in a different position, just standing still.

After several days and nights in a row, I was already dizzy. It's not enough to describe this work, but thankfully, the AI reconstruction system has done a lot of work, and will soon be able to complete the memory reconstruction and the autonomous thinking program I envisioned.

Seeing that I was not listening, Jacob pulled me up from his workbench, half-helped and half-mopped me to his bathroom, handed me an electric toothbrush with toothpaste, and forced me to start brushing my teeth.

I opened my mouth blankly and let the toothbrush buzz there. He picked up a warm towel and gently applied it to my face, and I buried my face in it and took a deep breath, as if some of my sleepiness had been driven away.

"My face is almost thin like a small melon seed, and I still don't rest......" Jacob grabbed the back of my clothes and carried me to his big bed. I took the opportunity to lazily roll over and prepare to fall asleep.

Unexpectedly, Jacob also lay down, he picked up the remote control to open the skylight, and pillowed his hands behind his head. The stars blinked in the deep blue sky for the whole night.

"Ask you something." Seeing that I was so tired that I didn't want to pay attention to people, he gently stabbed me in the back with his elbow, "What if after Chu Houyi's memory is resurrected, you find that he is not in love with you at all?" ”

"There is no such if!" I was very upset about being argued with him, and I answered him without hesitation.

"Song Yuan, in fact, your IQ is beyond ordinary people, but your EQ has not yet developed."

"Who said that? When I was seven years old, I already had a crush on Chu Houyi. And it was love at first sight. ”

"That's wishful thinking."

"You're jealous of me. No, it's jealousy of Chu Houyi. "I pulled up the quilt, covered myself, and curled up in a small ball.

"Are you still believing what he said before? What is the three-year covenant? ”

I simply did not answer, and expressed my determination with silence.

"You don't understand men at all. I don't know how to fall in love. Jacob paused for a few seconds and then said slowly, "If you're already in love, why wait three years to love you?" ”

Although I was dazed, I felt as if a gust of wind had torn open a gap in the night, and the cold wind suddenly blew in, making people shiver. It was so uncomfortable that I curled up under the covers, thinking that I could avoid the cold wind by hiding in my shell.

"He's waiting for me to grow up." I thought about it for a moment and said with certainty. "He had already bought an engagement ring when we met, but he didn't have time to give it to me yet!"

Jacob's face was gloomy as he looked at the small dark gray velvet box on his workbench with a pink diamond ring lying inside. During this time, I kept playing with this little box, and I was about to find a cocoon.

Neither of us wanted to talk any more, so I relaxed myself and began to fall into a deep sleep.

Jacob got up and tucked the corners of the quilt for me, closing the skylight gently. He silently walked over to the workbench and began to put the finishing touches on the AI system. The night sky is getting bluer, but there is already a hint of morning light in the east.
