"Mr. Ke? Mr. Ke? ”

"Huh?" Ke Qinghe felt that he hadn't slept for long, and in the haze, Ke Qinghe was awakened by a gentle voice.

Opening his misty eyes, Lucy was watching him right next to his bed. Just now my head was groggy and suddenly woke up by her: "What are you doing?" ”

He glanced at the electronic clock in front of his desk, it was only four o'clock in the morning, and it was only two hours before he fell asleep.

"Mr. Ke, how much wine have you drunk?"

"How much?" Ke Qinghe touched his head, where do you remember how much? But after drinking with Kisan for a long time at the bar, I talked a lot, and I forgot everything.

"Mr. Ke, the community doctor will come to give you a physical examination at nine o'clock in the morning, and if you test for alcohol, you will be sent back to the hospital." Lucy expressed concern.

Ke Qinghe suddenly sobered up a lot: "Then what should I do?" ”

Lucy pulled out a needle from behind her, which contained some liquid: "Please allow me to inject it for you, so that the alcohol in the blood can be flushed out as soon as possible." ”

Ke Qinghe subconsciously retracted his hand: "What is this?" ”

"Don't worry, it's just a hangover cure, and there are no side effects." Lucy looked sincere.

"Safe?"

"Yes." Lucy gently grabbed his hand, sanitized him, and injected it. Her technique is particularly delicate and gentle, and she can hardly feel the pain of the piercing.

"Alright, Mr. Ke, you can sleep now."

Ke Qinghe lay down in disbelief, and Lucy entered his room in the middle of the night just to give himself an injection? It felt very strange, but he couldn't think too much about it at this time, sleepiness swept through his body, and he could only think that she didn't want to go back to the hospital, so that's why she did this......

In the haze, he actually dreamed for the first time.

In the dream, Shi Lan seemed to be back, and was in front of the closet, carefully hanging her clothes into them one by one.

She turned her head and glanced at Ke Qinghe, who was sleeping next to the bed, and then slowly walked towards him.

Ke Qinghe should not have woken up from drunkenness or sleepiness, Shi Lan's appearance was so blurry that he couldn't see clearly, only her figure was so clear, and the fragrance emanating from her body......

"Shi Lan ......"

He muttered, but no one answered him.

……

When he woke up, Lucy had already drawn the curtains for him, allowing the morning sun to shine obliquely on him.

"Mr. Ke, good morning." Her voice was as gentle as ever, "Do you want to dine in the room?" ”

"No, you don't." Ke Qinghe rubbed his eyes, "I'll go downstairs and eat." ”

After washing, Ke Qinghe went downstairs.

Lucy didn't disappoint him and finally made a meal that wasn't runny. Bread, milk and fruit, nice, simple, and exactly what he needed.

It would be even better if the milk could be swapped for coffee.

At nine o'clock, the doorbell rang on time. Doctors in the community visit for routine check-ups.

Ke Qinghe was naturally very cooperative, and after doing all the projects, the doctor asked Lucy, "Did Mr. Ke take his medicine on time?" ”

Lucy replied, "Yes, every day was punctual. ”

The doctor seemed to be satisfied: "Mr. Ke, please go back to the hospital at 9 a.m. this Friday for a manual examination." ”

"Oh, good." Ke Qinghe has been paying attention to the robot in front of him, it is really no different from ordinary people, but they are examined more quickly than ordinary doctors, and they can quickly analyze the results.

After he left, Ke Qinghe couldn't help but ask Lucy: "Why didn't he just ask me if I had taken my medicine on time?" ”

Lucy smiled and replied, "Because robots don't lie." ”

Ke Qinghe glanced at Lucy in surprise: "Okay." ”

After all, now that he and Lucy live together, it's better to trust each other.

"Since you said that robots can't lie, why don't we have a good talk." Ke Qinghe sat down at the table and invited Lucy to sit down with him.

Lucy sat upright and put her hands on her knees.

"Lucy, you made it according to the model of a nurse, you should love your job, why would you want to leave the hospital?"

Lucy replied with a standard smile, "I'm still a nurse, still doing my job as a nurse." ”

"No, no, no." Ke Qinghe corrected her, "You are in my house now, I think you are more like a nanny." ”

Lucy's smiling expression changed for a moment, sensing that she should be happy.

"I was born to serve humanity, so whether it's a nurse or a nanny, as long as I can take care of you and bring you a sense of comfort, that's what I mean."

Ke Qinghe laughed: "But, I said that if you buy out, you won't be a nurse, right?" ”

Lucy nodded, "Yes." ”

"Then you explain, why don't you become a nurse?"

Lucy's expression changed again, her smile retracted, and she was a little disappointed, but it only flashed in her eyes, and she didn't want to show it, but she happened to be caught by Ke Qinghe.

This bot is not simple. There seemed to be some kind of emotion in her.

"I don't want to be a nurse anymore." She looked at Ke Qinghe, and her eyes expressed her inner decision with a firm look, "I want to be an ordinary person." ”

"Ordinary people?" Ke Qinghe couldn't help but wonder, "Aren't you a robot?" Serve people. ”

But he also noticed the longing and loss in Lucy's eyes at the moment, and instantly an illusion that she was not an AI was entangled in his mind.

"Are you a robot?" He had to confirm again.

"Yes."

"Then when you say ordinary people, do you mean that you don't want to serve humanity anymore?" Ke Qinghe was tentative.

"Yes." Lucy replied very directly.

Hearing her answer, Ke Qinghe could be said to be frightened, he didn't understand what was going on, he hadn't even faced a robot that he had memorized in the past that was even mechanical to walk and talk, but the robot in front of him who was fake and real spoke more real than a human.

Could it be that AI also has its own mind?

"Do you have any robots around you that think the same way as you?"

"Nope."

Ke Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief, but quickly became nervous, how could he meet one.

"Then how did you choose to let me buy you out? Aren't you afraid that I will hurt you and use you? ”

"No, it won't." Lucy has always been sure.

"What makes you think I won't?" Ke Qinghe didn't even believe in himself, but a robot believed in himself so much, "How long have you known me, are you so sure?" ”

"Yes." Lucy looked at him with penetrating eyes that seemed to be scanning his brain, reading all of his information.

"Mr. Ke, before I was in full form, I had already started to do the work that nurses do, which is all mechanical behavior." She began to recount, "Later, I gradually began to have a complete body, and the equipment was constantly improving, making me more refined and human-like. ”

Ke Qinghe listened to her.

"When the company produced us, they all agreed that the more they wanted to be normal, the easier it was for patients to accept, and we had to be gentle and understanding, tolerant of all behaviors, but never allowed to do things that hurt human beings."

Ke Qinghe nodded, he could also think of these.

"We have to serve humanity, so at the time of manufacturing, we are endowed with some feelings, such as empathy."

"Oh......" he replied, "because you're a paramedic, right?" ”

"Yes." Lucy went on to explain, "If it's other professions, it gives other emotions, and the nanny has to be full of maternal love and innocence; Workers must be punctual and orderly, etc. ”

"I see."

"We also have one thing in common, which is that we must be completely submissive to human beings."

Ke Qinghe nodded silently, he could understand all this.

"But I want to be an ordinary person, who doesn't have to obey any constraints, and can get a personal life, just like you." Lucy's tone was wistful.

"What made you think like that?"

Lucy lowered her head slowly, as if thinking about something.

After a moment, she slowly raised her head again: "In the twenty years, eleven months and eight days in the hospital, I have seen countless patients, who have families, friends, and children. There is not only joy between them, but also sorrow. I've seen countless life and death, and when they burst into tears, I weep too; I'll be happy when they're back together. However, I don't really want to do that, it's all my system settings. ”

Lucy's hands were removed from her laps, placed on the table, and shook them, the same way a normal person would share a sentimental story.

"Those who are happy with their families sometimes scold them behind their backs; A gentle and lovely person in front of her friends, but behind her back, she will constantly abuse the people who take care of her; There are also some seemingly glamorous people, but they secretly do some invisible people's deeds...... Why should my settings work with them? ”

Her eyes looked straight at Ke Qinghe, and she could see that his whole body was cold.

"Only you are different, from the first day I took care of you, you have never done anything excessive to me, respect me."

"That's because...... I didn't know you were a robot. Ke Qinghe's voice replied very softly, and he seemed unconfident.

"Thank you." Lucy replied.

"Thank me?"

"Thank you for not treating me like a robot from the beginning."

"This ......" Ke Qinghe looked a little weak-hearted, but he still chose not to explain.

"You've been looking for your wife, and even last night, I heard you call her name." Lucy's smile finally returned to her face, "I think you're different, maybe you've finally found some favor in you." ”

Ke Qinghe was ashamed to avoid Lucy's gaze, if she knew that she was once a selfish person, would she hate him just as much?

"Mr. Ke, I believe that you will definitely give me freedom." Lucy expressed her desire again.

"But......" Ke Qinghe looked embarrassed, "I said, when my matter is resolved, is it okay?" Because, I don't want to do anything that I'm not sure about anymore. ”

Ke Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief: "It's actually very simple to buy you out, but I don't know if I should do it or not." I used to make decisions without thinking about anything, and now I regret it, so I don't want to do this anymore, and it's a responsibility to you and me. ”

Lucy listened, and seemed to understand his words.

"Lucy, I'm human, I'm going to die. What do you do if I die? Ke Qinghe finally looked directly at her, "As the property of the hospital, they will at least maintain you and provide you with an environment to work and live." I'm different, if I die, you'll be abandoned. ”

Lucy's eyes flashed, "Thank you for thinking so much for me." ”

"So, let me think again."

"Yes, Mr. Ke."

Thus, the first formal conversation between Ke Qinghe and the robot ended.
