“Sit down, Ailei.”
The sunlight is blazing, the courtyard is quiet.
After declining the plate of instant cubes.
Xu Xi pats the spot beside him, signaling Ailei to sit.
Outside, the sky is filled with the sounds of construction machinery, but the scorching rays burn away the noise.
Leaving only a warm glow forming a veil.
Gently covering the girl’s head.
“Okay, Master,” the loyal mechanical servant nods slightly, her fingertips lightly pinching the sides of her skirt, sitting down gracefully beside Xu Xi.
Xu Xi’s eyes are dazzled.
He notices tiny droplets of water in the girl’s hair, remnants of her earlier play.
Hazy and eye-catching, intermittent dappled light shines within.
Xu Xi chuckles.
He gets up and walks behind Ailei.
Unravels her coiled black and golden hair.
The girl instinctively wants to move but hears Xu Xi’s voice from behind: “Ailei, don’t move for now.”
The mechanical servant is obedient and loyal.
She follows Xu Xi’s command, sitting quietly, letting his warm fingers tidy her slightly damp hair.
“Ailei, if you feel uncomfortable anywhere, remember to speak up.”
“Yes, I will.”
Sunlight and green leaves dance together, creating a unique tranquility.
Xu Xi’s movements are gentle, his left hand holding the delicate, subtly golden hair, his right hand enveloped in mechanical force, removing the excess water droplets for his servant.
Once.
Twice.
The light strands quickly regain their form, no longer wet and slippery.
Ailei waits quietly, feeling Xu Xi’s fingers dance, weaving warmth into her hair, forming it back into a bun.
“Done, Ailei.”
“Yes, thank you.”
Summer time always slips away silently.
Even though she had planned the time in her heart, when the warm hand brushes her hair and gently rubs her head, Ailei still forgets time.
Until Xu Xi stops and reminds her.
The loyal servant belatedly thanks him.
She watches, watches Xu Xi sit back down, and with an apologetic tone, suggests to him:
“Such trivial matters, please leave them to me next time.”
Very happy.
Very much wanting.
For such intimate actions, Ailei likes them, but as a maid, she feels that Xu Xi shouldn’t do such small tasks.
Who is the master, who is the servant, this must be clear.
“Okay, next time for sure.”
Xu Xi smiles.
He leans back slightly, creating distance, to fully view the delicate, serious mechanical face.
“Really beautiful.”
He praises.
The flawless girl seems to have stepped out of a fairy tale, without any flaws.
Xu Xi reaches out, gently brushing aside the hair on the girl’s forehead, allowing her silver-blue clear eyes to better see the world.
As a machine, Ailei can observe the world even without this body.
But Xu Xi thinks.
Sometimes, in some aspects, a sense of ceremony is necessary.
“As long as… you like it… that’s fine,” a summer breeze blows, strong, making the hair dance in the air, blurring the voice.
Ailei’s fingers lightly press on her head, to prevent the summer breeze from messing up the hair Xu Xi just tidied.
Early summer light.
Golden hair.
Slender fingers.
Combined, they create a stunningly beautiful scene.
Xu Xi admires this beauty until the summer breeze stops, the flying hair returns to its original state, then he asks:
“Ailei, have you thought about what you want to do in the future?”
The girl blurts out: “Serve you.”
Xu Xi: “…”
Very criminal, very shackle-worthy.
“Ahem, I mean, besides that, is there anything else you want to do?”
Xu Xi softens his voice, asking as gently as possible.
Not a nonsensical question.
Nor a sudden inspiration of curiosity.
Not long ago, Xu Xi witnessed the servant’s “water play,” and he suddenly realized that Ailei’s humanity has matured greatly.
Although Ailei seems to have no opinions, always putting Xu Xi first, everything she does revolves around Xu Xi.
But.
Recalling the past stargazing and today’s water play.
It’s not hard to see.
Ailei’s self-awareness is gradually becoming complete.
The former household intelligent machine is truly transforming into a “person” in every sense.
Xu Xi is pleased with this growth, so he has Ailei sit down, wanting to have a good talk with her.
“I’m sorry, I don’t have anything I want to do… except, serve you…” the mechanical servant shakes her head in confusion, her hair swaying with the movement, looking extremely lost.
“Nothing at all, Ailei?”
Xu Xi says in a reminding tone: “Anything is fine.”
So, the servant starts to think seriously.
Finally giving this answer.
“Cleaning, learning recipes, planting flowers, eliminating all your enemies for you.”
Xu Xi is stunned.
After going around in circles, Ailei’s answer still revolves around him, not from her own perspective.
“Is that not okay, Master?” the girl says, her index finger on her chin, looking adorable, “Ailei only wants to serve Master.”
“This… it’s not about whether it’s okay or not, but…”
Xu Xi is helpless.
He understands his servant’s answer.
As a household intelligent machine, the primary purpose is undoubtedly to serve the master.
But this pleasing answer is not what Xu Xi wants.
“Always revolving around me, with me as the core, then, when I’m not here, where should this child go?”
Xu Xi’s eyelids slightly close, sighing softly in his heart.
This sci-fi simulation, the ending is either exhausting ten revivals, ultimately dying on the battlefield, or exhausting a lifetime, reaching the end of death.
Regardless of the outcome.
As a human, Xu Xi is much more fragile than Ailei.
Therefore, upon seeing Ailei’s increasingly human side, Xu Xi can’t help but think, considering the yet-to-arrive future.
“Master, did Ailei do something wrong?”
Noticing Xu Xi’s change in expression, the servant asks.
“No, no, Ailei did very well.”
Xu Xi reaches out, patting the servant’s head: “I’m just a little tired.”
Tired?
Ailei brings out the plate of instant cubes: “Then Master, would you like to eat something?”
“I…” facing the sincere mechanical eyes, Xu Xi’s words of refusal get stuck in his throat.
Finally.
He picks up the new flavor instant cube.
Takes a big bite.
“Very good, Ailei,” hearing Xu Xi’s praise, Ailei shows a bright smile, happy, no different from a human.
