Chapter 296: Who are you?
Even though she appeared like an android that had its fuel source depleted, from that day forward, the young girl’s delayed reactions and gradually stiffening movements clearly indicated that she was nearing the end of her life cycle.
Until finally, one day, the youth had woken up and climbed down the stairs, only to find the girl sitting upright on the sofa, completely unable to move her body.
The sound of the doorbell quickly echoed out.
Then, several burly-looking men wearing metallic clothing picked up the girl on the sofa, as though they were picking up a piece of trash and intended to throw her away.
“In this world, after an android has reached the end of their service life, the Federal Android Management Center will arrange for their law enforcement androids to take the inoperative bot away and recycle its scraps altogether.”

The familiar voice ringing beside her ears clarified the clouds in Chu Jiao’s mind, and as she saw the youth desperately trying to stop those people from taking the girl away, Chu Jiao felt her heart wrench in sharp pain for no reason.
In the end, the girl who had lost her use was taken away by the authorities, leaving behind the youth to sit in the empty living room all alone, his expression crestfallen.
After an unknown period had passed, he finally moved his body. He weakly spread his palm open, a nail-sized computer chip laying in his palm. He raised his hand and carefully placed the chip into the computer on his wrist.

“It’s so weird... Little Master... Androids don’t have any feelings... But, why is it that when I think about leaving Little Master, 9527 would feel some kind of discomfort in her chest?”

At long last, the green dot indicating the young man’s position on the map coincided with the red dot.
The youth then carried the extremely deformed remains. As if not minding the filthiness on this wreck, the young man gently transported her back to the aircraft, moving as though he was carrying the most precious treasure in the world.
Chu Jiao suddenly remembered something.
Before she transmigrated into the world where she assumed the identity of a princess, the first time she had seen this world was during the dream she had experienced.
She couldn’t speak nor could she move freely, but she remembered that she was carried by a pair of gentle arms and brought back to a house.
Then, the following scenes she saw were no different from what she saw in the beginning of her dreamland. The youth took utmost care of her body everyday. He continuously bought big and small parts home everyday and upgraded parts of her limbs to new ones. Each part looked invaluable and incomparably refined.
“For the sake of an android, was this all worth it?”
Chu Jiao watched the young man do all this work extremely diligently, completely unsure of what feelings were welling up in her heart.

“Not an android.”
“It’s the person I love the most.”
The young man’s actions seemed to be proof of the man’s sincere words. He would often lovingly kiss the girl who was in deep sleep, like a prince kissing his sleeping beauty.
Until one day, sleeping beauty woke up.
“Who... are you?”
She tilted her head, confusion flashing across her silver gray eyes.
“And, who am I?”
