Chapter 2: Xiao Jing

Xiao Jing's eyes were a little dazed as she stared directly at the TV. The TV was presumably a tech show that was playing what appeared to be a discussion about robotics and artificial intelligence:

"I don't think this fear is warranted. About the "Three Laws of Robots" and stuff like that, it was in the novel at that time. And, looking at it now, it's a bit outdated. In the past, we carried out "program control" or "command control" for robots. Now and in the future, we will take a more "humane" way of control, and that is "emotional control". The robots of the future will have a ...... of dependence, gratitude, and even adoration for their creators, that is, us, humans."

At this time, the screen suddenly flashed, and the program was changed to the "children's channel", and the cartoon characters on the TV looked cute and cute, but in an instant, the program jumped to the "news channel". Xiao Jing fiddled with the remote control button aimlessly, but couldn't find a program of interest. Instead, she turned off the TV, but she still didn't feel sleepy. It was half past eleven, and he hadn't come home, not a single call or message, and the call she had made an hour earlier was not answered. Although, this is not the first time that he has not returned late at night. In the past, family and friend gatherings, overtime work and other things also happened from time to time. However, it is rare for nothing to be heard from like this. Xiao Jing really doesn't want to make herself look like a hysterical "resentful woman" who suspects her husband of cheating. The term "cheating" flashed in Xiao Jing's mind at this time. Immediately, she smiled self-deprecating and a little ashamed. As a woman, Xiao Jing is still very confident to attract him home. Underneath her pretty short hair is a face shape that is very in line with today's aesthetics, and the delicate facial features are distributed on this face according to the standards of aesthetics. A casual glance at a pair of charming eyes can confuse men. When she was young, these eyes also caused her some trouble. As she grew older and more experienced, she gradually learned how to manage her soul-scaring eyes. Now 32 years old, she is still slender. I don't know if it's because of my natural beauty, or because I insist on exercising, I don't have a trace of fat on my body. The graceful curves resemble plastic mannequins in a high-end clothing store. If she is 5.6 cm taller, she can also become a model walking on the catwalk, and if she has that opportunity, she will also become a star on TV and movie screens. Although now, his life is no different from that of the millions of residents of the city. But for life, Xiao Jing has nothing to complain about. She firmly believes that she can live by her skills, rather than wagging her tail and begging in front of men with her face. In fact, in the years after their marriage, the two of them have managed this home to be above the average level of urban family wealth, although it is not rich and luxurious.

"Cheating" should not be the reason. Xiao Jing has that confidence in herself, and she also has a lot of confidence in him. At this point, she looked a little ashamed, and immediately put down the phone that had opened the address book. They used to be college classmates, but they didn't "break up after graduation" like other college couples. After graduation, they also traveled to different cities because of their jobs or internships, but they never gave up this relationship. They have been married for 7 years. The "7-year itch" theory was not demonstrated in their families. Although the passion of first love has faded, another bond has brought them closer together. He is outgoing, optimistic and likes to talk about everything and share it with her. Xiao Jing was also happy to let him help her make a decision. The "sense of dependence" made them overcome a lot of difficulties, and even Xiao Jing's inability to get pregnant did not affect their relationship.

At the time, he said: "It's not a big deal, humanity is developing, science and technology are advancing. ”

"You mean that the medicine of the future will cure me?" Xiao Jing asked.

"No, it's not. Actually, I'm trying to say, 'The future of medicine can make us immortal', so why do we have children at that time? He replied.

"What kind of logic are you?" Xiao Jing smiled stupidly.

It should be that the boss of his company dragged him to drink with customers again. Xiao Jing thought about it and turned off the lamp. It must be like this, that guy has to pull him with everything, even the last blind date.
