But the other possibility was a slap to the face . How could it be? How could she be… an AI!
Lu Jia'er went back to her bedroom after greeting Amy upon returning to her apartment .
She locked her bedroom door and stepped in front of the full-length mirror mounted on her closet . Slowly, she took off all her clothes . She examined herself in the mirror . She had a nice hour-gla.s.s figure with smooth, fair skin . Starting from her neck and shoulders, she reached out and stroked every single inch of her skin, attempting to locate that so-called switch found on AI .
However, Lu Jia'er's search yielded nothing . Next, much like what the female characters would do in the movies, she pinched the skin around the waist with quite a bit of strength . But, instead of lifting up any skin, the pain made her frown .
Lu Jia'er stared into the mirror again . She was not convinced that she was an AI because she could find all the characteristics of an average female on her .
A moment later, she changed into a bathrobe and went to take a shower .
Afterwards, she picked a beige dress to put on and grabbed her bag .
Seeing this, Amy asked, “Professor Lu, are you not having dinner at home, either?”
Lu Jia'er had not seen Su Han yet . “Is Su Han out?” she asked .
“Yes . She is out on a date and mentioned that she would not be coming back for dinner . ” Amy answered .
Lu Jia'er nodded . “Tell Su Han that I am not coming back home tonight . ”
Amy was surprised . “Professor Lu, are you going on a business trip?”
Lu Jia'er did not want to bother Amy with a long explanation . “No . Stay at home and be good . Goodbye . ”
Amy sent Lu Jia'er to the door . “Be careful . ”
Once again, Lu Jia'er was on her way to Jin Xiangdong's villa .
Jin Xiangdong was not at home . In the afternoon, after he sent Lu Jia'er to Professor Han Yi's psychology research center, he had some business to take care of .
Ake cooked a bowl of noodles for Lu Jia'er .
Lu Jia'er finished the noodles and noticed the game of Go on the end table . She asked Ake to play a few rounds with her .
While they were playing, Lu Jia'er queried, “Ake, has your master talked about me more often recently?”
“Of course he has!” Ake nodded .
“What did he say about me?” Lu Jia'er smiled . She was curious .
“Originally I believed that the relations.h.i.+p had ended . He had been drinking frequently . Sometimes, Jason would come here to keep him company but I am not allowed to listen to their conversations!” Ake replied .
“Why wouldn't they let you listen?” Lu Jia'er continued to probe .
“I don't know . Probably it's because I cannot drink with my master . ” Ake guessed .
Lu Jia'er smiled while thinking: right, AI could not drink . Whereas in her case, she could eat, drink and there was no difference between her and a normal human being . As such, her a.s.sumption would appear to be ridiculous .
Ake continued, “It is fortunate that you didn't break up with my master!”
“Why is that?” Lu Jia'er wondered, smiling .
“Because of you, my master's life is vivid and interesting . ” Ake claimed .
Lu Jia'er continued to probe further into this matter . “Ake, have you ever heard your master mention anything about memory replacement?”
Ake blinked in confusion . “Memory replacement?”
“Yes . Has he mentioned it?” Lu Jia'er nodded and asked a follow-up question .
Ake shook his head . “No, he hasn't!”
It appeared that Jin Xiangdong had kept her matter quite confidential . Few people would know . But this was exactly where Lu Jia'er felt most puzzled, it was as if Jin Xiangdong was withholding the information on purpose!
Lu Jia'er gazed at Ake for a few seconds before she started again, “Ake, do you know if your master has any special abilities?”
“Special abilities?” Ake blinked, wondering .
“When he is wounded, he bleeds little and his wounds can heal quickly!” Lu Jia'er explained .
Ake asked upon hearing this, “Have you witnessed it?”
“A few times!” Lu Jia'er gave a frank reply .
“What did the master tell you?” Ake kept the questions going .
“He said that he is Ironman!” Lu Jia'er replied .
Ake burst into laughter when hearing this answer . “Ha ha ha, Ironman!”
“Ake, what did your master tell you?” Lu Jia'er pursued .
“If my master's final explanation is that he is Ironman, then he is Ironman!” Ake smiled .
Clearly, Lu Jia'er found this answer unsatisfactory . “Ake, you are not an honest friend!”
When Ake was about to answer, he heard the door open . “Master is back!” With that said, Ake went to greet Jin Xiangdong in delight .
Jin Xiangdong went to the living room and saw Lu Jia'er and the Go board on the end table . “You are playing Go?” The corners of his mouth raised up .
“Yes!” Lu Jia'er smiled .
“Did you win?” While asking, Jin Xiangdong walked over and sat down next to Lu Jia'er .
“Ake won twice . ” Lu Jia'er said .
Jin Xiangdong took a look at the board . Having heard this answer, he tried to seek approval from her . “Do you want me to stage a comeback for you?”
“Sure!” Lu Jia'er nodded .
Following that, Jin Xiangdong took over Lu Jia'er's place and played against Ake while she observed as an on-looker . Now, she had gained a sense of what it was like when experts were playing .
Jin Xiangdong was evidently a much better player than Lu Jia'er . That being said, he still lost to Ake, a powerful compet.i.tor .
When Ake won, he said to Jin Xiangdong with manners and politeness, “Thank you!”
Jin Xiangdong turned over to Lu Jia'er . “Sorry that I cannot deliver on my promise . The comeback was not successful!”
Lu Jia'er chuckled . “Ake is the one teaching you how to play . It is only normal that you would lose to Ake!”
“Master, you have progressed by leaps and bounds . You must be at least about 6 dan grading rank if we are using the standard dan grading . ” Ake concluded .
Lu Jia'er smiled . “An accomplished disciple owes his accomplishment to his great teacher!”
“You flatter me!” Ake was quite humble . “Now that master is back, I will not intrude!”
Ake went into the study . Lu Jia'er turned to Jin Xiangdong who was next to her and said, “Ake treats your words as imperial edict . ”
Jin Xiangdong grinned . “Doesn't Amy listen to you?”
Lu Jia'er chuckled . “Yes, she does . ”
Jin Xiangdong added, “They are AI . Of course they will obey orders . ”
“They are obeying orders with no strings attached because they do not possess self-awareness . ” Lu Jia'er shared her view . “Say one day AI have self-awareness, what will happen?
Hearing this, Jin Xiangdong stared at her for a few seconds before he replied, “You are worried about the future of AI?”
Lu Jia'er looked back at him, wondering if she should share her doubts with him . How would he react when he heard?
Eventually, she did not say that, and instead she said, “Ace, tonight… I want to stay here!” With that said, she could not help but blush .
Jin Xiangdong was surprised, “You want to stay for the night?”
Lu Jia'er nodded . “Yes!”
For that moment, Jin Xiangdong was not sure what Lu Jia'er was thinking . So, he proposed, “Then I will have Ake prepare the guest room for you . ”
Lu Jia'er lowered her head, mumbling, “Are you really expecting me to sleep in the guest room?”
Though her voice was low, Jin Xiangdong heard it anyway . An idea came to his mind . He put on a meaningful grin, “If you don't like the guest room, I will give you my master bedroom . ”
Lu Jia'er looked up at once . Noticing that Jin Xiangdong was snickering, she hit him gently .
Jin Xiangdong's grin grew wider . He whispered to her ears, “Or, does this mean that you want to decipher my body?”
It sure was unique to call sleeping together as deciphering his body . While her intention was not spelled out in so many direct words, Lu Jia'er felt her cheeks burning up at once . As a matter of fact, the point of coming here tonight was to sleep with him and at the same time, seek proof for something .
Hence, while she flushed to the ears, Lu Jia'er no longer tried to gloss over her intentions . “Yes, I want to decipher your body . ”
Jin Xiangdong was filled with both happiness and worry to find Lu Jia'er being so frank . He could not help but feel a surge of urge in his heart when looking at her flushed cheeks . He stroke her face and asked, “Are you being serious?”
Lu Jia'er really had the conviction that Jin Xiangdong was so funnily annoying . Though she made the decision based on a spur of the moment, Lu Jia'er was a person that would walk the talk . “A word spoken is an arrow let fly!”
Hearing this, Jin Xiangdong fixed his gaze on her for a few seconds . Then, he picked her up . He carried her in his arms, left the living room and went to the staircase .
He stepped on, one step at a time . Lu Jia'er put her arms around his neck, her face blushed and her heart pounding . At the same time, she was looking forward to what would happen next .
According to her current memory, she never was so intimate with Jin Xiangdong at this level . Of course, she was not sure given that her memory was not complete .
He carried her and they made their way to his bedroom . It was s.p.a.cious with a harmonious color mix . The decoration was simple . Jin Xiangdong did not put her on the bed . Rather, he carried her into the bathroom .
Lu Jia'er was the one that proposed to stay for the night . That being said, she was still nervous . “I… I have already showered!”
Hearing this, Jin Xiangdong raised her chin up using his fingers and said in a deep voice, “I see that this was premeditated . ”
Lu Jia'er bit her red lips but did not deny it . “Yes . ”
Jin Xiangdong's smile grew wider . She was so honest .
Lu Jia'er felt a bit awkward . She was not that h.o.r.n.y . It was just… that she wanted to seek proof, to see if she really was a real woman .
