"Brother, are you kidding?" I looked at him with tears and laughter, deeply puzzled by what he had just said that made people nervous.

Xiao Yin stood up and took off his shirt, the delicate fabric on the inner layer looked particularly warm under the dim wall lamp, and he gently opened a zipper hidden on the side, it turned out that there was a mezzanine hidden inside the suit.

The zipper was pulled from top to bottom, and a bright light appeared.

"What is this?" I watched with some apprehension as his rough fingers rubbed against the edges of his clothes, and my heart was a little apprehensive.

He slowly pulled out a box from his pocket, the frosted plastic texture, with a slight green sheen, glittering in the light. It looks like it's only four inches in size, so it's delicate and small.

"This is a new mobile phone that I developed privately, and it is also the second generation of Orchid mobile phones." Xiao Yin gently pushed the box in front of me. "This is the first product of this mobile phone, and it is an experimental product that has not yet flowed out of the market."

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, my tense heart relaxed, and I gently stroked the smooth plastic box with my hand, which didn't feel much different from the usual box. "It's a phone, you're scared to death. You just said it was more important than your life, I thought it was a secret......"

"This is a new product that I developed by myself, and it took me nearly a year to condense almost all of my efforts, and no one has participated in it during this time." Xiao Yin's eyes showed a shallow satisfaction. "You say it's more important than my life."

"Alone? Why don't you find some staff to help you? I held the box in the palm of my hand and looked at it repeatedly, and through the cracks in the plastic I could see a piece of pure white metal in it.

"Those people will inevitably misunderstand what I mean when making things, and sometimes they will cut corners, and I can only ensure the absolute perfection of the product if I am in charge of every detail." Xiao Yin raised the corners of his mouth slightly. "You forgot I'm a paranoid."

After he said this, I realized the preciousness of this mobile phone, which is the crystallization of Xiao Yin's intelligence. Holding it in my hand, I suddenly felt a heavy weight.

"This ...... Brother, I really can't take this from me if you give it to me. With that, I gently pushed the phone back again. I am very happy that you just said that you want to take a stake, because it is your investment and the well-being of the tea shop. But I am really ashamed that you gave me such a valuable mobile phone for no reason. ”

"Liu Quan, you accompanied me to the Valley of Determination at that time, and you were implanted with Gu poison for my sake, so it can be said that if you refused to travel with me at that time, maybe I wouldn't be where I am today." Xiao Yin said sharply, his bright eyes flickering like starlight in the night sky. "Now that I have results, I'm willing to share them with you."

"That's really just a gesture." I smiled wryly. "What's more, the thing you gave me is like playing the piano to a cow, I don't usually study electronic products, so I can't play its role at all."

Xiao Yin was silent for a few seconds, as if he was thinking of further persuasion. "Actually, Liu Quan, the reason why I gave you the mobile phone is not as simple as giving it to you to use, I also need you to give me some feedback, some very objective feedback."

"Feedback?"

"Yes, it is precisely because you are not an industry insider, so your perspective represents the perspective of the most ordinary user, so that you will only focus on its practicality when you look at this product, rather than just thinking about how to crack his system program like those professionals."

When Xiao Yin said this, I really couldn't find a reason to refute him, if he really asked me for help, I couldn't shirk my responsibility.

He saw that I was silent, so he immediately followed, dispelling my last hesitation. "Okay, open it up and see if my design is very high-end."

Although what he said was reasonable, he still felt a little strange for some reason. But Xiao Yin's words have come to this point, and I can't shirk it anymore.

There is no tape or anything like that wrapped on the plastic box, so a light mention, the box was unpacked, two pieces of pale green plastic opened, the milky white mobile phone was completely exposed in our eyes, I have to say, but the design of this packaging is ingenious, this is to imitate the process of orchid blooming, the pale green packaging box is like two green leaves, and the white mobile phone is the white orchid that is not stained with wind and dust.

I gently took out the small orchid phone, although I don't know much about industrial design, but I can still feel the difference of this orchid phone. It was so light that I could barely feel the weight in my hand, and the pure white glass shell was like a transparent mirror, reflecting the quaint furniture and the looming lights in the tea room. It was so delicate that I didn't dare to touch it too hard, for fear that it would leave my dirty fingerprints on it, and that I would break it with a little force.

When I came back to my senses and took a closer look, I really found the essence of this mobile phone, the whole mobile phone has no other components except the screen and shell, no volume, no charging port, and no camera, it is precisely because there is nothing that this mobile phone looks more and more concise and elegant.

"Xiao Yin, why don't you have anything on your phone? It's beautiful, but why is it that you can only look at it from a distance and not play with it? ”

"I removed the physical volume button and on/off button, and replaced it with a voice-activated device, a phone can only recognize a person's voice, and once it recognizes its owner, it can never be used by a second person." Xiao Yin explained. "That's what I got from orchids, we need to be as loyal as orchids, and so do mobile phones."

I sighed softly, and while it still sounded a little paranoid, I have to say that it was a very creative design. "Xiao Yin, this is very your style. So how to explain that there is no charging port? Could it be that this phone can't be charged yet? ”

"Why not?" Xiao Yin said calmly. "That's what I thought, the phone can't be charged, and the battery stores enough power to last you for a year."

Xiao Yin's sudden words made me almost bite my tongue. "You're crazy, if you don't design the charging port, then this phone will be disposable."

"Liu Quan, let me ask you, through your observation, how long do you find that the people around you will use a mobile phone?"

I really can't give a good answer to his question, because now that the market is booming, manufacturers are springing up like mushrooms after the rain. Especially electronic products, updates are endless, and the mobile phones in the hands of people around me are always changing back and forth, but if you really want to ask me a detailed time, I really have no idea. "I can't say it, it's very frequent, and I've changed two mobile phones in the past five years."

"Then let me ask you again, when you are ready to change a mobile phone, is it because the mobile phone is faulty? Or is it because this phone can no longer meet the normal use? Xiao Yin's sentence after sentence sounded a bit like a bloody accusation, like a dull question after a dull question.

"This ...... Not really, a lot of times it's just because the new product is a little more advanced than the old one. Take the iPhone for example, one or two new products are released every year, and if you are using obsolete products all the time, it will always make you feel like you are also outdated. ”

"So I'm going to design a phone that can't be charged, and the battery can't be replaced, and when the battery runs out, the phone will be scrapped, and it will abandon you before you can abandon it." Xiao Yin smiled faintly, his smile at this time always made me feel a little weird. "It's just like an orchid, it always blooms, it always withers, and the first time you wake it up, that's when it's in full bloom, and when it's past its flowering period, it turns red and goes back to the soil."

"This ......" I was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to make of such a strange design.

"Its withering will not be transferred by your will, whether you like it or not, it will eventually leave you." Xiao Yin said. "Liu Quan, I know you may be deeply skeptical of such a design, but think about it, shouldn't the world be fairer? Since you can abandon a mobile phone, the mobile phone can also abandon you. ”

I gasped, on the one hand, I sighed at Xiao Yin's whimsy, and on the other hand, I had to start wondering if such a design was because Zheng Xin abandoned him back then, and all of them had such a psychological shadow.

"Okay, don't talk about this, there is no basis for what you say, it's better to use it to distinguish the truth from the false." Xiao Yin patted me and motioned for my thumb to be placed on the screen of my phone. "You put your finger on the screen for more than a minute, and the phone activates, and then it will judge your timbre based on your fingerprint and blood type, that is, it will decide that you are its owner."

This feature is really a bit too advanced, it was 2013, and everyone thinks about what mobile phones generally looked like at that time.

I did so, half-convinced, and waited for a minute as I watched the pitch-black screen.

As soon as the bright light rose from the screen, a white orchid bloomed on the screen of the phone, and I couldn't help but exclaim, because it was not just a two-dimensional plane, but a three-dimensional scene, the petals were fluttering in the air, and the flower stems were growing on the screen of the phone, and it seemed that I could touch him by reaching out my hand.

"It's just a simple VR technology, it's not really powerful." Xiao Yin said with a smile. "The really great part is still to come, you try to say a few words about this phone, just like you would with the Siri of the iPhone."

I cleared my throat and started talking to myself into the screen of my phone. "You...... Hello. ”

"Hello, Mr. Liu Quan, I am Xiaolan, I will be your personal assistant in the future, I have helped you integrate all your private information into this orchid mobile phone, you can call me at any time if you have any questions in the future."

"Wow!" I shouted. "I've never seen such a perfect artificial intelligence!"

"This is the core of this mobile phone, the chip in this mobile phone is actually a human brain, to be precise, my brain, I copied my own nerves and implanted them into a physical chip, and your conversation with it is equivalent to talking to me." Xiao Yin said proudly. "And the voice inside is Xiaolan's voice, because she helped me, so I want more people to be as lucky as me."

I fiddled with this phone repeatedly, I really felt like I couldn't put it down, naturally I still had a few questions to ask Xiao Yin, and suddenly I heard a warm and powerful car roar outside the tea shop, and white lights flashed outside the window, it seems that Xiao Yin's driver has come to pick him up,

"Liu Quan, I know you still have a lot of questions to ask, but you can ask it, and asking it is equivalent to asking me." Saying that, Xiao Yin slowly put on his suit and tidied up his sleeves. "You can slowly explore this phone in the next few days, don't worry, I'll come to you in a month to hear your feedback."

"Okay, no problem." In fact, I was already a little absent-minded when I answered, and this phone is now far more attractive to me than Xiao Yin's magnetic voice.

"Also, please don't expose this phone to a second person other than you." Xiao Yin patted me on the shoulder vigorously and drew my attention away from the phone. "This is a product that has not come out, you must keep it secret for me."

I quickly put my phone back in the plastic case, and the screen went off automatically. "That's natural, and I can't afford it."

"Thank you!" Xiao Yin suddenly hugged me, like a friend who had been reunited for a long time, and hugged me very hard, squeezing my chest numb. I thought he was just saying goodbye before leaving, hugging him and letting go of his hand, but he kept holding it for a minute.

Xiao Yin...... You...... You can't have anything else, right? "The way he looks makes me suspicious.

"There's nothing to do, it's just more emotional, I'm afraid that one day I'll never see you again?" Xiao Yin slowly let go of me, then slowly turned around and walked towards the door. "Goodbye...... Goodbye, Willow Spring. ”

"Don't be kidding, if you say this kind of bitter and hateful, you haven't lived well in the past five years." I couldn't help but complain. "You just said that you would come to hear my feedback in a month."

Xiao Yin turned around and smiled at me, there was too much emotion in that smile. The corners of his mouth are like the warm sun in the cold winter, and like the ice and snow on the moon day, so people really can't read whether he is relieved or feeling.

Boom! Before I could come to my senses, the door of the tea shop had been closed, and I heard a soft sound of the door, and then the Rolls-Royce disappeared from my sight like a phantom.
