CHAPTER XVII

When Ke Qinghe returned home, Lucy was preparing dinner for him. The constant sound of the juicer made him feel like he was going to start eating the sticky "greens" again.

He walked straight to the kitchen door and looked at the green liquid tumbling in the juicer, feeling it churning in his stomach.

"Eating again?" He leaned against the kitchen doorframe, watching Lucy's ever-tall figure.

"Yes, Mr. Ke."

"Anyway, if I don't take the medicine, can't I take what I want?" Ke Qinghe had a coquettish tone and asked the machine "nanny" in front of him.

Lucy turned to look at him sideways, "I'm sorry, Mr. Ke, I can't let you have bad symptoms during the physical examination. So, I have to make sure you eat healthy. ”

"Okay, okay, I understand." Ke Qinghe turned around and was about to leave, but came back again, "Lucy, how much does it cost to buy an intelligent robot?" ”

Lucy stopped what she was doing and looked at Ke Qinghe carefully: "Mr. Ke, I have a detailed quotation from the intelligent robot manufacturing company here, you can call to inquire specifically, do you need me to help you get through?" ”

"No, no, no, I'll just ask." As soon as Ke Qinghe finished speaking, he suddenly noticed the change in Lucy's eyes, "Don't worry, what I promised you will be done." ”

Lucy nodded, continuing to do what was at hand.

Ke Qinghe walked to the study, turned on the computer, searched the Internet for the quotations of various robot companies for various types of robots, and after browsing, he let out a long sigh. The price of an intelligent robot is not as expensive as he thought, not to mention that it is currently in the period of full promotion. This is a bit more expensive for those special needs of the robot.

Although the price is nothing to him, he is just a little strange. In the past, I was full of adventurous spirit and liked to challenge, but when I arrived in another world, I began to hesitate.

He felt in his pocket and found that the photo with Shi Lan was gone.

"Oh no, where did you go?" He hurriedly rummaged through all his pockets, but he just didn't, he hadn't taken out the photo since the last time he met Aya, it should be in the pocket of his coat.

Don't......

"Mr. Ke, what are you looking for? Need my help? Lucy suddenly appeared at the door, startling Ke Qinghe.

"No, nothing." Ke Qinghe still didn't come back to his senses, and his mind was full of photos that were gone.

"If it's okay, you can go downstairs for dinner."

"Wait." Ke Qinghe stopped her, "Have you ever seen a picture of me in the pocket of this dress?" ”

"Mr. Ke, what photo?" Lucy looked at him with an innocent look in her eyes.

"A picture of a woman ......"

"No, Mr. Ke, did you put it elsewhere?"

"......" Ke Qinghe remembered that it was here, and there was no reason to be forgetful. He had no choice but to wave his hand: "It's okay, you go get busy first." ”

"Yes, Mr. Ke." Lucy left the door of the study.

Ke Qinghe sat at his desk, and the computer screen was still on, which drove the news side of the webpage and jumped out of the latest news.

"Unraveling the Savage Lands"

This news attracted him very much, Ke Qinghe suddenly came to his senses, clicked on the title, and the page that popped up made him more eye-catching-"The current page is inaccessible." ”

Well, that's the world he's in right now.

"Tick."

His phone screen lit up. Ke Qinghe picked up his phone and glanced at it, it was a message from Aya.

"Got home? You okay? Why don't you contact me? ”

Ke Qinghe, who was at this end, suddenly smiled on his tense face, and typed into the mobile phone screen: "I've arrived early, I'll tell you something late." ”

As soon as he sent it, he thought about it again, and then typed another: "I'm sorry to worry you." ”

"I'm not worried, I'm worried about something." A pouting little emoji was attached.

Ke Qinghe laughed at her for having three hundred taels of silver here: "Thank you for your company, we can meet often." ”

After waiting for a moment on the other end of the phone, Aya sent a smiley face and said, "OK." ”

Ke Qinghe's mood relaxed from this, and he could finally settle down and go eat a meal he didn't like first.

……

This night, Ke Qinghe slept very peacefully.

In his sleep, he felt that he had finally stepped on the soft grass, he had not seen such a vast world for a long time, and even the wind on his face was so gentle, mixed with the smell of earth and grass.

"What are you doing there?" A female voice came from behind her ear.

He turned around, and Aya stood behind him, the breeze blowing through the hem of her skirt, undulating with the wind, and she smiled at him, among the wildflowers that covered the mountains. The bright sunshine, the gentle breeze, and her sweet smile are all heart-warming.

"Where is this?" He asked.

"We're already out of the city." She pointed to the endless horizon and said, "Let's go together, leave the city, leave the world of mechanical installations, no matter what we face in the future, at least, we can really feel the world, feel ourselves." ”

Ke Qinghe looked at Aya, there were some strange differences between her in front of her and her in the past, and that strangeness seemed to be a kind of familiarity like a world away. And in the eyes she looked at him, she found a lot of love, like the tenderness in love with Shi Lan.

"Here, take a picture of me." Aya took out a Polaroid from behind her and asked Ke Qinghe to take a picture of her.

Ke Qinghe took the Polaroid and saw Aya's half-body from the small viewfinder, a slightly sideways figure, and a shallow dimple on the smiling face......

Squeak - the photo is spit out of the camera, he picks it up and shakes it a few times, and Aya's appearance appears in the picture.

"Is it pretty?" She smiled and said, "I've got it for you." ”

Ke Qinghe looked at the photo, and the expression on his face condensed...... This photo is so familiar, like the one I just lost.

……

"Mr. Ke, did you sleep well last night?" At breakfast, Lucy asked.

"It's okay." Ke Qinghe took a sip of milk and saw Lucy on the side holding the pill.

"Mr. Ke, do you need to take medicine?"

"No, don't ......" Before he could finish answering, Lucy's hands were already clenched into fists, and he crumpled the pills into powder, then went to the kitchen end and disposed of them.

Looking up at the time on the clock, the community doctor was about to come to the door. He hadn't taken any medicine for a whole day, and Ke Qinghe was a little weak at this time.

"Mr. Ke, you're in good shape right now, don't worry." Lucy seemed to sense his concern and smiled and comforted him.

Ke Qinghe smiled and nodded.

Soon his phone screen flashed again, and it was the credit company that pushed him a bill.

Ke Qinghe looked at the last number of the bill, and his face became heavy again. He pondered something in his mind, and then asked, "Lucy, if I stop the treatment, do you think it's okay?" ”

Lucy stopped what she was doing and faced Ke Qinghe.

"Mr. Ke, are you ready to give up treatment?"

Ke Qinghe put down his phone, took a deep breath, and then replied with a smile: "It's not about giving up, since the result is the same, it's better to leave more time to do something interesting." ”

"Interesting?" Lucy looked at him.

"yes." Ke Qinghe replied: "Make some new friends and try some new things, so that when I really die, I can at least enjoy life." ”

Lucy didn't answer him.

"Apply for me, I've decided to go with the flow." Ke Qinghe smiled at Lucy.

But Lucy, who had been smiling, didn't have any expression at the moment, and after a while, she responded: "Okay, Mr. Ke." ”

Ke Qinghe actually saw it in his eyes, he got up and walked to Lucy's side: "Don't worry, you can help me hand over an application for the buyout of intelligent robots to the hospital by the way, and I will start the procedures now." ”

Lucy looked up at him, her big eyes twinkle.

"Yes, Mr. Ke." Immediately, her smile returned to her usual face.

Ke Qinghe also smiled and nodded.

Just as he was about to go upstairs, he turned back and said to Lucy, "Oh! By the way, the community doctor will not have to come to the door today. ”

Lucy accepted the instruction to send wireless information through the band of her brain, and she could immediately notify the community doctor, who is also an intelligent robot, to cancel today's consultation.

The community doctor who received the cancellation order immediately contacted the hospital, and Dr. Chen also received Ke Qinghe's application to stop treatment at the same time.

He immediately called Ke Qinghe to verify the information.

"Mr. Ke, are you going to stop the whole treatment?"

"Yes." Ke Qinghe replied.

"Mr. Ke, your current condition is still very good, if you continue to treat, there should be good sustained results, and we even have further interference measures now, all of which have good results."

"Nope." Ke Qinghe resolutely decided, "I really plan to give up." ”

Dr. Chen on the other end of the phone was probably still wondering, but Ke Qinghe was in a much more relaxed mood.

"Combined with the 20 years I have been asleep, I have really lived long enough, and I just want to enjoy the rest of my days now, and I don't want to spend every day in the face of seeing a doctor and taking medicine. So, please understand me. ”

"Yes, Mr. Ke." Dr. Chan sighed as if on the other end of the phone, "Of course we respect your personal choice, but ......"

On the other end of the phone, Dr. Chen seemed to see something and continued to ask, "Are you going to buy out our medical robots?" ”

"Yes, yes." Ke Qinghe replied, "She has taken very good care of me during this time, and I hope to keep her by my side and continue to take care of me." ”

"Good...... This is possible. Dr. Chan replied, "Then please come to the hospital when you are free, and we will sign some agreements before we can officially complete these applications." ”

"Yes." Ke Qinghe hung up the phone.

He walked to the top of the stairs and called out to Lucy, and his emotions became excited: "Lucy, let's go through the formalities." ”

"Mr. Ke?" Lucy shouldn't have reacted yet, but Ke Qinghe had already gone downstairs, grabbed his coat and car keys, and quickly opened the door.

I saw him spread his hands, and the sunlight outside the door shone on his body, shining like a halo.

He happily asked, "Aren't you going to hurry up and meet freedom?" ”
