Chapter 9

Life went on like this.

Under He Zhi's insistence, Ji Mao did not resign, and he went on to work in the salon.

Ji Mao has adjusted himself well. He has adapted to the work in the store. Sometimes when a guest comes to perm at nine o'clock in the evening, he has to work overtime.

But no matter how late, He Zhi will pick him up home.

He Zhi was stubborn and he didn't know how to say beautiful things. He parked the car at the door of the store and waited. When Ji Mao left the door of the store, he opened the door for him, which was all He Zhi's signal for peace.

He took Ji Mao for more than a week, and Ji Mao saw that he was really pitiful, and finally accepted his favor.

On this day, Ji Mao was on day shift, but did not get off work until half past six.

He Zhi drove a silver-gray car to pick him up, put Ji Mao into his seat, and fastened his seat belt before asking Ji Mao, "Why is today so late?"

"I ran into a difficult guest." Ji Mao complained and started the first interactive topic in a week.

He Zhi pressed the shortcut to go home. He was so happy that he jumped up quickly, but he pretended to be cool and said, "Let’s listen."

"When I got off work, I was about to go out, and I ran into him, but he still wanted me to wash his hair." Ji Mao complained.

Seeing He Zhi's face immediately becoming ugly, Ji Mao added another sentence: "He said that I am like his son who was selected into the New Gene Project, and nothing else."

He Zhi made a single tone from his nasal cavity.

"Most of the people who come to our store are old people, they are very nostalgic" Ji Mao said sincerely, "not as filthy as you think."

They soon arrived home, Ji Mao first rushed in the door.

"So you worked overtime," He Zhi hugged his arm and looked at Ji Mao, "because of nostalgia."

"Because he was making trouble in the store, I had to wash his hair again," Ji Mao looked at the screen dissatisfied and continued to complain, "Causes me to watch less episode of "You in the Star Sea"."

He Zhi looking at Ji Mao’s face, he suddenly said: “It’s better to let the second laboratory make a simulation robot exactly like his son for him to borrow.”

“...No need,” Ji Mao refused He Zhi’s overly idealistic proposal, then said, "But I have good news."

"What?" He Zhi's ears pricked up.

"I will be on vacation on May 6," Ji Mao suddenly collapsed on the sofa, "I want to watch 18 hours of TV shows at home."

So no matter what happens to He Zhi on May 6th, all I have to do now is to watch TV at home. This is it.

The plan never kept up with the changes. On the night of May 5th, Ji Mao worked overtime again. He Zhi waited in the car for more than half an hour before Ji Mao left work.

The store manager asked Ji Mao, not surprised, "Your friend changed the car again?"

"Yeah." Ji Mao swiped the employee card and took off the Jimmy brand that was pinned to his chest.

"I want to have such a rich friend, I won't work here anymore." The store manager glanced at Ji Mao with a vague tone.

Ji Mao smiled at the store manager, then glanced at the car outside the window, and said, "It's just a friend."

"Really..." Seeing that Ji Mao didn't want to talk more, the store manager wittily helped him put the name tag away, wishing him tomorrow happy holidays.

As soon as Ji Mao got on the car, He Zhi asked him: "Tomorrow is on holiday?"

Ji Mao nodded, leaning back in his chair a little tiredly, and said: "Foresight Technology's second laboratory technology is really not good. borrowing a month, inflatable dolls of the battery is not good, it should be after the 2080 reform of the fifth battery technology will not matter. "

A while ago, He Zhi sent the charging base of the inflatable doll back home from the company. The base is really big, a transparent seat, half the size of a single sofa.

He Zhi criticized the person in charge of the laboratory, and the person in charge paid a tribute to the battery charging bracelet.

The battery charging bracelet can only charge 10% of the robot's electricity, but it can also be an emergency. He Zhi asked him to do more than a dozen more and put them where he could see, for fear of Ji Mao's sudden power failure.

Ji Mao was better than having no place to put his hand ring on and not to speak.

"What the hell is going on?" He Zhi frowned and asked him.

"It is not something for people to use for a long time," Ji Mao explained solemnly, "The battery life has deteriorated in the past few days, and only 5% is left in one day."

He Zhi looked at Ji Mao half-dead and said: "You sleep first, I'll hold you up."

"It's okay," Ji Mao said, "I turned off other functions and only left a few of the head. Auntie will come home tomorrow, did she tell you?"

He Zhi eyes stared at the road ahead, and said: "Which auntie?"

"Your mother," Ji Mao said, "She heard me that I will be on vacation tomorrow, so she will come to play tomorrow."

"My mother?" He Zhi became very wary. "What does she mean? She secretly contacted you?"

Seeing He Zhi's excitement, Ji Mao sat up and replied in the same way, but was pressed back by He Zhi: "You lie down."

"Auntie just came to the store with her friend today. I just chatted," Ji Mao said, "she asked me if I still live in your house, and I said yes, the manager came over and asked me about my vacation tomorrow, and auntie heard it and said that she would come to play."

"She's okay. Go to the salon and do some hair," He Zhi turned around, turned into the garage, and told Ji Mao, "Don't talk to my mother."

"What can I say?" Ji Mao turned his head to look at him.

"Forget it, don't mention this, why is she here?" He Zhi's tone was still very bad.

Ji Mao shook his head and said, "I don't know."

He Zhi stopped the car and told Ji Mao not to move. Ji Mao was too lazy to restart the function, so he really didn't move.

He Zhi walked around and opened the car door, and took him out carefully. His hand touched Ji Mao's skin. He was taken aback by Ji Mao's temperature: "Why are you so cold?"

Ji Mao nodded and said, "Heat balance system." I turned it off too, it consumes too much electricity."

"What kind of work are you doing like this?" He Zhi put him on the sofa and plugged in the charging cable for him. "Resign and stay at home."

"How long will the new body be ready?" Ji Mao leaned on the pedestal, still not wanting to move, lying down and asking He Zhi.

His hair fell on the tip of his nose, and he looked a little childish. He Zhi pulled him up a bit, then tucked his hair behind his ears, lowered his head and told him: "Half a month."

"I have to change it." Ji Mao said, "Wait a few more days."

Ji Mao's body is too cold. The temperature in May is not low, and He Zhi's face is actually cold when he meets him. He Zhi couldn't help holding Ji Mao's hand, trying to warm him up, but it heated up the surface and couldn't warm up the inside.

Ji Mao looked at He Zhi's serious and expressionless expression. His expression became unnatural. He opened his mouth and persuaded He Zhi to say: "When the power reaches 20%, I will turn on the heat balance. Don't do this."

He Zhi and him looking at each other for two seconds, he let go of one, but the other hand still caught him, but he didn't obviously want to heat him up anymore.

Ji Mao pumped, but didn't draw it out.

In front of Ji Mao, He Zhi called the person in charge of the laboratory and asked them to improve the power system of the bionic robot.

Ji Mao’s hand was still in He Zhi’s hand. He Zhi hung up the phone and leaned closer. Ji Mao was already sitting on the side of the sofa, unavoidable, and had to explain to He Zhi: "It’s me who is not good, yesterday. I was sleeping halfway at night, got up and turned over, the charging cable was dropped, and I was too lazy to plug it back in. When I went out, the battery was low."

"Are you sleeping and turning over?" He Zhi keenly grasped the point.

"If you sleep for too long, it will be slower to restart." Ji Mao explained.

If Ji Mao knew that He Zhi would use this as an excuse to force him to sleep in a room with himself, he would definitely not tell him the truth.

Ji Mao was already lying down, covered with the quilt, and the door was knocked open by He Zhi. He Zhi turned on the light. He saw Ji Mao lying on the bed and said, "I'll check your charging cable."

Ji Mao’s charging port was beside his waist hip and some positions above the edge of his underwear. He Zhi reached out his hand and carefully touched the charging port. He did not touch Ji Mao’s body, and grabbed the port again. He said: "It's a bit loose, you might fall out at night, come and sleep with me."

"..." Ji Mao looked at He Zhi in silence for a while, and refused, "No."

"Are you in the final analysis?" He Zhi raised his eyebrows and said.

There was a spirit of ambition in his voice, which made Ji Mao feel as if he didn't have any reason.

But Ji Mao really didn't want to sleep with He Zhi, so he resisted: "I don't want to go."

He Zhi looked at him and had to ask "Why?"

"If you feel guilty because of what you said that day, you don't have to. You didn’t say anything wrong.” Ji Mao pondered carefully, only to realize that He Zhi was still making compensation, so he said, “How can I be so angry.”

He Zhi’s sense of responsibility is too gentle, and he is no longer like the past He Zhi. It will make Ji Mao give birth to the illusion of being valued, and then sink deeper.

Things like this kind of lying together, neither couples nor in love, should not be done. If one party is affectionate, it will be embarrassing. It's not that it hasn't happened.

He Zhi paused for a while, then slowly said: "You are thinking too much. My mother will come tomorrow, I'm afraid you will wear it for help."

"I can check it regularly and get up every hour." Ji Mao said.

He Zhi refused: "No, can you depend on it? Come back to the room with me."

He unplugged Ji Mao's charging cable and straightly hugged Ji Mao up. Ji Mao was wearing his pajamas, so he should lie down. In his bed.

The skin under He Zhi's hands was not as cold as the night, with the warmth of the flesh.

It's just that Ji Mao still struggled uncooperatively: "No, can you listen to me!"

He Zhi walked out of the guest room door holding him.

"We are not suitable for sleeping in a bed together." Ji Mao said that he didn't dare to kick He Zhi, struggling as if he wanted to refuse.

He Zhi put Ji Mao on his bed and looked down at him: "Where is it not suitable? You didn't sleep with me when you first came."

"How can this be the same?" Ji Mao got up and was pressed on the bed again.

He Zhi was on top of him, propped his arm, very close to him, Ji Mao was bewildered by He Zhi's eyes, and everything he wanted to say was suddenly stuck on the tip of his tongue.

"Why is it different? Tell me?" He Zhi asked Ji Mao. He raised his hand and pressed the touchpad next to the bed. The light in the room dimmed, and the atmosphere suddenly became charming.

Ji Mao looked at He Zhi’s eyes and was stunned for a while, before he said to He Zhi, "Don’t give me any more fantasies."

He Zhi was stunned on the spot, and Ji Mao looked at He Zhi’s eyes.

Ji Mao painstakingly educates He Zhi: "He Zhi, you have to keep a distance with me because I really like you."

He Zhi looked at Ji Mao's sincere eyes and his brain went blank.

This is not the first time that He Zhi has been confessed. In fact, he has been confessed to countless times. He has never bothered to remember the face of the other person. He has never been too lazy to respond and just forget about it.

But this was his most defenseless confession. Ji Mao said that he liked to talk too casually, much like eating and drinking, naturally.

For the first time in his life, He Zhi knew that a heartbeat happened so easily, and he didn't dare to look at Ji Mao again.

He is not as clumsy as he is facing Ji Mao. He Zhi doesn’t know how to talk about love, and he doesn’t like it. He wants to bring a lot of things to Ji Mao for him to choose from, but he doesn’t want Ji Mao to find out that he is here. Suffering from gains and losses.

He suddenly remembered Jimmy lying in a pool of blood in The Last Day. Jimmy pulled his collar and asked him if he loved himself.

It was Ji Mao in front of him who was asking.

Jimmy is always very happy when he looks at He Zhi. He puts his hand on He Zhi's shoulder and raises his head to kiss He Zhi. His eyes are transparent and bright. Every expression and every action seems to be talking to He Zhi "I really like you."

It was Ji Mao in front of him who was talking.

He Zhi remembered that Ji Mao said that he was mad at the head of the testing department, wandering the streets late at night, and finally found his home.

The last person who kissed him on the beach across the railing, He Zhi even remembered the smell of the sea in the night breeze, it was really silly to say it, this was the first time he kissed someone.

It was Ji Mao who was kissing him.

The word pure does not match He Zhi at all, and liking a game character sounds like an incompetent waste.

He Zhi's emotions are not rich, and he has been compressed in the most remote corner of his mind all the year round. All the education he has received is being conveyed. He is too stupid when it comes to emotions. He Zhi is an arrogant and intelligent person.

"I'm sorry, I can't help it," Ji Mao said again, he looked a little bit depressed, "I can't help dislike you for the time being."

Jimmy became Ji Mao, he tried to be a normal person, concealing his emotions. Talking and laughing as usual, deceived He Zhi, and was forced to confess guilt by He Zhi.

He Zhi looked at Ji Mao for a long time, then stood up, not knowing where to put his hands and feet.

Seeing that He Zhi didn't move, Ji Mao got up again and wanted to get out of bed and go back to the guest room, but He Zhi grabbed his shoulder. He Zhi still wouldn't let him go.

Ji Mao put aside his temper and looked at He Zhi, but He Zhi didn't even dare to look at Ji Mao's eyes. He just said, "Just tonight."

Ji Mao thought He Zhi was too worried about putting on clothes in front of Fu Haoyin. Ji Mao nodded: "Don't mind it."

He Zhi watched Ji Mao lie down in the quilt, and said, "I don't mind."

Ji Mao was afraid to see He Zhi lying down, so he closed his eyes after saying good night.
