Midsummer atmosphere always makes people drowsy. No matter the hot wind or the cicada who lies on the tree, people can't help but want to lie in front of the window and sleep comfortably.

No, let alone people.

But the languid atmosphere, even Xiaoai unconsciously yawned, languidly in the study of the sofa into a group, made a good snore, like a sleepy kitten.

But even if napping is such a tempting proposition, not everyone is in a wonderful dreamland.

For example, the girl sitting by the window at the moment has no tiredness on her beautiful face. Her jewel like eyes are meticulously staring at the letterhead drawn by holographic light and shadow in front of her, carefully considering the words and sentences, making it as undisturbed as possible, and accurately communicating her thoughts.

“…… It's nearly three months since you left for Mars. I don't know how you've been there. "

"Your students miss you very much..."

"And me."

Looking at the three words at the signing place, Vera hesitated for a long time, not sure if the line seemed redundant.

In the end, however, she plucked up the courage to keep it, then closed her eyes and dragged the letter into the draft box to be sent, then quickly turned off the holographic screen as if she had done something bad.

"It's true. If you want to be the master, go to him It's a waste to have a convenient body. ? ? "

hearing the voice suddenly coming from behind, Vera was scared to be smart. She looked back and found that Xiaoai was yawning lazily and sitting up from the sofa.

"Calm down," she said.

“…… When did you wake up? "

"Xiaoai doesn't need to sleep. She just thinks it's better not to disturb you when you write. "

" is it true It's really convenient. "

"It's not convenient at all, OK?" Ai continued with a sigh. "I can't sleep with my master or eat with him. I can only watch happy things and walk around at will, especially when I don't have a net Every time the host leaves Xiaoai's sight, Xiaoai is worried about death. "

" this way... "

It sounds really hard.

Although I really want to comfort it, but for myself from the 21st century, it's not particularly clear what kind of existence Willa even bionic man is, and I don't know where to start.

After a long hesitation, she said.

"Actually I'd love to see him, but I'm worried about disturbing him. "

AI: "well Although the owner is very smart most of the time, but occasionally there will be stupid time. But no matter what, I don't think the host is the kind of person who hates others to disturb Even those who often disturb him. Vera looked at it in surprise.

"Eh? Is that so? "

Xiaoai nodded her head and said happily, "Well! It's a great feeling to be needed. Maybe it's one of the driving forces for the host to keep going. "

Looking at Ai's face, Vera suddenly felt a little ashamed.

Although she was sure that it was more than just love and dependence, it was a kind of feeling called love, but for many things about him She has a feeling that she doesn't understand at all, so she is always afraid of her hands and feet when making decisions.

Looking at the cross legged sitting on the sofa chirping, she hesitated for a moment, and finally said.

"What kind of person is he in your eyes."

Almost without thinking about it, AI replied immediately and energetically.

"A very handsome man! (??)? "

Vera:" handsome, handsome...? "

"Well!" Xiaoai nods her head hard, her eyes twinkle with little stars, and shyly continues to say something embarrassing, "unfortunately, the owner is not AI, or we can get closer to Xiaoai! (/ / / /)

always feels that this guy's idea is a little dangerous.

However, when Vera was about to say something, she suddenly put on a serious look and continued to talk.

"What do you say? A long time ago, Xiaoai was with the host. At that time, Xiaoai was not so capable or intelligent, but the host always looked at Xiaoai with tolerance, watched her grow up little by little, and finally became what she is now. "

AI smiled sheepishly, scratched her cheek and continued.

"I always felt that I spent such a long time with him unconsciously If I had the concept of life, he would have become a part of AI's life. After seeing the tail and Lili, it was more or less enlightening to me. family affection? Or is it dependent on AI? All in all, it's a similar feeling. ""But these things don't matter, at least according to AI. As long as in the limited time, can accompany him all the time, is enough for Xiaoai. (* ̄)  ̄ (*) "

Vera:" The general feeling. "

AI tilted her head and said, "always feel? (???) "

" nothing, "she shook her head gently, and Vera smiled." it's just some, just enviable. "

AI: "that's necessary! After all, such a handsome host, little AI won't let you. (/ / / ω / / /)

Vera smiled and did not speak.

It's just AI

Shouldn't it be competitive?

About?

I don't know why. For a moment, she suddenly felt a little bit insecure.

Thinking of it, Vera got up from her desk.

"I've decided."

AI: "hmm?"

"I'm going to Mars," Vera said earnestly, looking at AI. "You're right. If you miss her so much, you should go to see her right away. If you keep waiting like this It's no different than it was a hundred years ago. "

Life is too short to wait.

She had been waiting for a hundred years in her dream, and was unwilling to wait any longer.

AI: "eh eh eh? (???) "

the topic of two people seems to be so interrupted

……

When lunch time came, Vera left her study and went down the stairs to the restaurant downstairs.

As she passed by the TV cabinet, she touched the button of the holographic TV, went to the dining table and sat down, waiting for the home robot to serve the meal.

It has been more than half a year since she woke up.

She still remembers that at the beginning, even holographic TV could make her curious for a long time, but now she has almost adapted to her life, at least she will not do the silly thing of putting her hand into TV.

Can do the opposite of Vera, AI with both hands under the gills, said the mouth drum.

"If you go to Mars, only AI is left at home. We can go together

"Ah, AI wants to I envy you so much. I can go anywhere I want, "Ai sighed, listlessly lying on the table, blowing at the bangs on her nose, and said feebly," if AI is talking, let alone Mars, it's a little difficult even to go to the moon. ╮(╯_╰)╭”

“…… Do you have a lot of experience? "

"Well!" AI nodded her head and made an exaggerated gesture with her hands

After dinner, Vera put the tableware in the plate, said thanks to AI, and watched her take the tableware to the kitchen.

At this time, the idea of going to Mars came to her unconsciously.

Unconsciously, she reached out her index finger, lightly clicked the personal terminal on her wrist, scratched the holographic screen in front of her, and logged into the ticket page.

Because of the serious accidents on Mars some time ago, and the relative distance between Mars and the earth is now in the farthest range, the fare of the round-trip flights is very cheap.

Seriously thinking about the travel time, when Vera was preparing to buy tickets, she suddenly saw a familiar face in the holographic TV.

"Professor..."

In the holographic screen, the boat standing in front of the camera is being interviewed by the reporter. And the voice that is playing in the TV is the news host's speech.

“…… Recently, after spending a lot of money to acquire Fuxing mining company, star technology, which has been silent for a long time, has made a shocking move in the industry, buying the space section located in geosynchronous orbit and Mars orbit for the construction of space facilities in the report. "

"Although I have not indicated what the space facilities to be started are, according to people familiar with the matter, this facility may be related to the commercialization of superluminal Technology..."
