Jin Xiangdong's lips circled up . “You've done a good job explaining . However, boudoir pleasures are private . Next time you see us like this, remember to excuse yourself!”

Ake nodded . “Duly noted!”

“Otherwise, Professor Lu will blush from shyness . ” Jin Xiangdong joked .

Ake nodded in a hurry . “Understood . Next time, I will excuse myself!”

Because of those words, Lu Jia'er turned rosier and rosier . She gave Jin Xiangdong's arm another pinch .

Though she did not put much strength into it, Jin Xiangdong acted in an exaggerated way . His handsome eyebrows were knitted together .

Lu Jia'er was puzzled . She grabbed his hand at once to check . “I didn't pinch you too hard, did I?”

Jin Xiangdong laughed . Having realized that she was fooled, Lu Jia'er thumped him .

Ake blinked, wondering, “Is this also a form of boudoir pleasures?”

Jin Xiangdong grinned . “Yes, it is . ”

“No, it's not . This is a form of needing a spanking . ” Lu Jia'er corrected him .

Ake looked at Lu Jia'er and blinked again . “Does master need a spanking?”

Lu Jia'er threw a look to Jin Xiangdong who was standing next to her and agreed . “Yes . ”

Jin Xiangdong took her hand and explained to Ake . “This is not needing a spanking . Beating shows affection and scolding shows love . That is what this is . ”

Ake cast a glance to Jin Xiangdong and then Lu Jia'er, which was followed by a sigh . “I shall go back to the study . I don't want to be the third wheel here!” With that said, Ake turned around and headed toward the study .

Jin Xiangdong did not stop Ake . He took Lu Jia'er to the dining room, holding her hand .

The dishes Ake prepared catered to Lu Jia'er's taste . She could not help but think of Amy in her apartment . At home, she treated Amy like her own family . Therefore, she had a little advice for Jin Xiangdong . “Don't you dine with Ake usually?”

Jin Xiangdong gazed at Lu Jia'er with a grin . “But you may get shy!”

“What is there to be shy about when eating?” Lu Jia'er wondered .

Jin Xiangdong's grin grew wider . “Since you are not shy, then take a seat on my lap!”

Lu Jia'er was startled . She blinked in surprise . “What is it now?”

“Come on and sit on my lap!” Jin Xiangdong smiled and repeated .

Lu Jia'er found this unbelievable, which was expressed with her eyes . Unconscious, her cheeks turned rosy again . She whispered, “Were we this tacky before?”

Looking at her blushed face, Jin Xiangdong's lips curled up . It was always a pleasure to amuse her thusly, in the old days or at the present day . He nodded . “Yes!”

Lu Jia'er gave him a glance of suspicion . “You are lying to me, aren't you?”

“When did I ever lie to you?” Jin Xiangdong protested, gazing at her .

Clearly, this answer was flawed . Lu Jia'er retorted directly, “When you tricked me into going to Liu Qiming for hypnosis!”

But Jin Xiangdong denied that allegation . “You signed the contract first and then I took you there . ”

Jin Xiangdong a.s.serted so eloquently . Lu Jia'er squinted . “Did anyone ever tell you that you are a scoundrel?”

Hearing this, Jin Xiangdong nodded without shame, “Of course someone did . ”

“So, I see that someone has a keen grasp on your nature, just like me!” Lu Jia'er said .

Jin Xiangdong put some food on Lu Jia'er's plate and at the same time replied with a grin, “You are the only one that used the word scoundrel on me . If so, I will take this as an intimate nickname you have come up for me, so to speak!”

Lu Jia'er cleared her throat and corrected herself . “This is not a nickname, but a definition!”

Jin Xiangdong smiled . “I will only be a scoundrel to you!” he said, in his charming and deep voice .

n.o.body could remain sober at such sugared words . Lu Jia'er's lips puckered in a smile . “Did you use to say those fine-sounding words to me often?” She asked .

Jin Xiangdong shook his head gently . “In the old days, you are the one speaking all those sugared words to me!”

Lu Jia'er felt struck . She remembered some sweet moments, only not with Jin Xiangdong, but with Ian . But the fact was the fact . Between Jin Xiangdong and her, she was the initiator .

Her memory was replaced . How did that happen?

Lu Jia'er could not help but go off into wild flights of thoughts . That sweet atmosphere disappeared instantly . “Ace, after we have lunch, go with me to Liu Qiming!”

Jin Xiangdong threw her a look . “Do you still think that your memory is replaced via hypnosis?”

Lu Jia'er nodded . “By the looks of it, this is the mostly likely way, i . e . using hypnosis to twist memory . ”

Hypnosis is an ancient and mysterious technique in psychological recovery . Provided that the subject being hypnotized was willing, he or she would be induced into an altered state of mind or trance through visual, auditory and tactile stimulation . Different technologies could trigger a level of awareness different from the ordinary state of consciousness, leaving the subjects to show an increased response to suggestions . In this state, subconsciously, the subjects were suggested, and would provide corresponding reactions in their control, memory, and perception . During the process of hypnosis, the hypnotized subjects' independent judgment and voluntary action would be compromised or disrupted, and the senses and perception would be distorted or lost .

Jin Xiangdong once had this conviction as well . But as of now, he could not tell her the truth while knowing . Eventually, he asked, keeping his countenance, “Does Liu Qiming not have enough credibility in his hypnosis technique in this industry?”

Lu Jia'er misinterpreted this as Jin Xiangdong was misunderstanding her . She denied it . “No! He studied under Professor Fang Yu, the most well-known master in hypnosis in the country . He excels in his technique . That day, I would be hypnotized by his varied methods even if I did not drink that questionable water you gave me that day!”

Now that Lu Jia'er had mentioned this incident, Jin Xiangdong said apologetically, “I am sorry . I had no other option that day!”

Lu Jia'er smiled . “The method was despicable . But indirectly, it implied that you care about me . ”

Jin Xiangdong had always been the receiver of affection . However, as Lu Jia'er said so, he nodded readily, “There are only two women that I care about in this world and you are one of them!”

Hearing this, Lu Jia'er threw a glance of doubt to Jin Xiangdong . “One of them?”

Jin Xiangdong nodded with a smile . “Why not the one you care most about?” She asked .

“I have a sister!” Jin Xiangdong said .

“You have a sister?” Lu Jia'er frowned .

Her memory was replaced but as she remembered her time with Ian, there was no such person as his sister .

Judging by Lu Jia'er's looks, Jin Xiangdong seemed to have arrived at some conclusion . The majority of her memory was replaced and a small part might have been deleted directly .

For the moment, Lu Jia'er could not remember anything . Jin Xiangdong changed the subject, “Let's have lunch now . The food is getting cold!”

Lu Jia'er looked at Jin Xiangdong and then said, “I remember that a professor in psychology once noted that: there are happy memories and those that are not . But no matter how bad that memory is, for many people, it is still as important as life itself!”

Jin Xiangdong agreed to this point of view . “Yes . Memory is there to witness our growth!”

“You are right!” Lu Jia'er agreed . “Therefore, I must find out the real reason that I am like this!”

Jin Xiangdong gazed at her and his eyes spoke volumes . He had grown more interested in the team behind her . In fact, as far as artificial intelligence systems are concerned, they are based on so-called neural networks to solve problems . In the past few years, AIs had learned to play Go, poker, and Mahjong . Those skills were acquired after countless rounds of training and mistake-making . But such skills could actually coexist . For example, if an AI learned to play Go, then it must erase knowledge about playing Mahjong or poker . Researchers at the time named it the “catastrophic forgetting” .

At that time, this problem was unsolvable . However, with the development of technological breakthroughs, AI had reached a new stage in the learning mode of intimating humans and animals . That being said, there was still a distance before AI could be as intelligent as human beings .

But Lu Jia'er's model of memory was so flawless, and human-like . If she could achieve another breakthrough herself and complete awakening of consciousness, then that would simply be the pinnacle of technology .

“It is strange that you are looking at me like this!” Noticing Jin Xiangdong's gaze on her, she said .

Jin Xiangdong came back to her senses . “I will be with you along the way!”

Lu Jia'er felt a spread of warmth in her heart . “I already feel content to hear this from you!”

Jin Xiangdong smiled . “Dig in . It has been a long time since you've visited . Cooking has been pointless for us for a long time . Ake is getting bored out of his mind!”

Jia'er looked at Jin Xiangdong's face . “You haven't been cooking! You're not eating regularly lately, are you? No wonder I think you have lost some weight!”

Jin Xiangdong smiled . “I find my gown too large, but I will not regret;

It's worthwhile growing languid for my coquette . That is the right way to put it . ”

Hearing this poem, Lu Jia'er felt her heart ached . “I am sorry that I have treated you like that!”

Jin Xiangdong smiled . “What we lose in hake we shall have in herring . ”

Lu Jia'er knew that Jin Xiangdong excelled in ancient poetry but she found this saying confusing . “What?”

“I mean, I have made unexpected gains!” Jin Xiangdong explained .

“Gains?” Lu Jia'er was puzzled .

Jin Xiangdong grinned . “I found a different side of you, a cold and detached beauty! You have a part of you that is a s.e.xy, wild kitty!”

s.e.xy, wild kitty!

Lu Jia'er felt a bit embarra.s.sed . She argued, “That is a legitimate defense!”

Jin Xiangdong's grin grew wider . “As a matter of fact, there is nothing wrong with being a s.e.xy p.u.s.s.ycat doll!”

Lu Jia'er flushed at those words . “Are all man into stuff this hardcore?”
