Ever since Tang Ran suggested outside the door that she wanted to introduce him to the voice assistant “Luo Luo”, Luo Zhan already had a bad feeling in his heart.

Sure enough, not long after entering the side house, Luo Zhan’s premonition came true.

Next to the square table.

Luo Zhan frowned, staring at the phone in front of him with a dark and bitter look on his handsome face.

“Luo Luo.” Someone called out.

“…Here I am.”

A familiar voice came from the phone.

Luo Zhan was feeling mixed emotions as he listened to his other “self” talking on the phone, when he saw a small hand covering the microphone.

Then the little girl sitting next to him turned around and said softly: “I’ll teach you, you tell him, um…just say ‘Luo Luo you are so stupid’.”

Luo Zhan: “…”

He didn’t really want to.

But when Luo Zhan turned his head, he could see the little girl looking up at him with hope on her face.

Luo Zhan looked back. As a qualified bionic robot, he had to ensure that his words were smooth and clear, but his tone was a little bit humiliating:

“Luo Luo, you are so stupid.”

Tang Ran had already let go of her hand after she finished speaking, and at this moment the phone accurately identified the mechanical sound.

The air was silent for a second.

“Society is about you and me, and civilization depends on everyone.”

That lazy, cold, and bossy voice sounded, with a mocking smile –

“You think I would say that? You’re stupid.”

“…”

Luo Zhan narrowed his eyes expressionlessly.

Who designed the language module in the first place? When he got home tonight, he would find the person who designed it. If he was alive, he would beat him to death. If he was already “dead”, he would dig his grave on the spot.

By the way, let’s take the culprit, Tan Yunchang, along as well.

Tang Ran had no idea that her unintentional action had already earned the hatred of the super boss for Tan Yunchang and others.

After waiting for a while and hearing nothing, she turned off the voice assistant, then looked up at Luo Zhan curiously: “Didn’t this module trigger the entered keywords?”

Luo Zhan was silent for a moment, then said, “It involves uncivilized words, which have been blocked.”

“I see.” Tang Ran said regretfully, “It seems like the two AIs can’t chat.”

Mechanical voice: “Master, don’t you like chatting with me?”

“No, no,” Tang Ran said quickly, “I just thought it would be interesting for you two to talk. I want to hear what it would be like.”

Luo Zhan was about to speak when the doorbell of the side house suddenly rang.

They were both stunned at the same time.

Tang Ran was stunned for a few seconds, then turned on the voice assistant again, “Luo Luo, what time is it now?”

AI voice assistant: “20:33.”

Tang Ran got the answer and looked up blankly: “Who would come to the side house at this time?”

Before she could finish her thought, the doorbell rang again in a hurry.

Tang Ran fumbled for the blind stick and propped himself up: “Luo Luo, I’ll go open the door first, you wait here.”

“Good.”

——A gentle mechanical voice.

“Tsk, who wants to wait for you?”

——A cold, lazy and bossy AI voice assistant.

Luo Zhan: “……?”

Tang Ran reacted: “Ah, I forgot to turn off this Luo Luo.”

The girl turned off the AI voice assistant with a voice command and chuckled, “Big Luo Luo’s temper is much better than Little Luo Luo’s.”

Luo Zhan had no expression on his face.

Tang Ran smiled again: “But you are all very cute.”

“…”

After hearing this, the young master’s face, which had turned half black, slowly turned back to sunny.

Tang Ran went to the entrance to open the door.

Luo Zhan sat at the table and lazily relaxed his slight frown. He supported his cheekbones and looked at the girl’s slow back, and the emotions in his eyes softened little by little.

After a while, a sound came from the entrance.

As Luo Zhan expected, it was a servant of the Tang family. As he expected, the person just stood outside the door and talked, but did not come in.

“The old man of the Luo family is here. The old madam asked you to change into some formal clothes and go to the main house to greet the old man. I’ll be waiting outside the door, please hurry up, Miss Tang Ran.”

“……Good.”

The man’s tone was distant, and there was no respect or politeness. Luo Zhan listened at the table, slowly sat up, and the emotion in his eyes cooled down.

But soon, the door of the entrance was closed.

The little girl came back.

Tang Ran didn’t stop until she was very close to Luo Zhan and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Luo Luo, I can’t accompany you tonight.”

Luo Zhan’s eyes moved slightly: “It doesn’t matter.”

Tang Ran: “Then I’ll go change my clothes first.”

“Yes, Master.”

Tang Ran turned around and prepared to walk towards the bedroom, but she paused after taking the first step.

After two seconds, the little girl’s nose twitched, revealing a puzzled expression: “Luo Luo, you don’t seem to smell like metal today…”

Luo Zhan’s figure paused slightly.

The bottle of specially customized perfume with a metallic smell was in the laboratory. It was inconvenient to carry and difficult to operate in front of people from the Tang and Luo families, so Tan Yunchang just rushed over while hugging the voice-changing device after spraying it and rubbing some of it on him.

It was probably faded now.

Luo Zhan was racking his brains over how to explain, when the little girl suddenly seemed to have thought of something and lowered her voice, “I know. Tonight, Luo Zhan and Grandpa Luo were going to come to visit our house. Since it’s on the way, he must have packed your box and sent you here.”

AI was not intelligent enough to answer this kind of identification question, so Luo Zhan could only remain silent.

Tang Ran was originally talking to herself, not to the “bionic robot”.

After a few seconds of silence, she lowered her eyes and smiled to comfort herself: “No wonder the manager and the others didn’t come to say hello, I thought something had happened… I’m glad they’re okay.”

The girl said softly, turned around and walked towards her bedroom.

“…”

Luo Zhan was sitting behind the table, his right hand unconsciously clenched on the table.

Things that could not be explained as a robot could only be explained as Luo Zhan.

But how to get there after Tang Ran left and appear before her was the biggest difficulty.

When Luo Zhan was sitting at the table thinking, the little girl went in the direction of the bedroom for a few minutes, and suddenly a hesitant voice came: “Luo Luo, are you there?”

Luo Zhan suddenly came back to his senses, quickly stood up and walked into the corridor. He stopped hesitantly in front of the half-open bedroom door.

Looking forward.

The little girl stood in the half-open door, her fair and beautiful face flushed slightly, and the familiar dark dress she was wearing hung loosely on her shoulders.

The beautiful white clavicle lines were clearly visible.

Coming back to his senses, Luo Zhan lowered his gaze and asked, “Master?”

The little girl’s voice was a little anxious, but more full of panic: “The zipper of my skirt seems to be stuck. Now I can’t pull it up or take it off… Can you understand this?”

Luo Zhan was silent.

If the “robot” didn’t understand, the only one who could help was…

Thinking of the voice outside the door that was clearly a man’s, Luo Zhan did not hesitate:

“Of course, I am a home service robot. All home services are within my functional module.”

“That’s great…” The little girl breathed a sigh of relief.

“I need a certain amount of time to determine the position and direction of the zipper. Please do not move during this time to avoid deviation.”

“Good.”

Tang Ran turned around. After the worry, she relaxed and talked more. She murmured with a bit of resentment, “No wonder grandma said that this dress is different from those simple ones. And I shouldn’t wear it myself.”

“…”

Luo Zhan lowered his eyes and walked forward with difficulty.

After emphasizing countless times in his heart “don’t look at anything inappropriate” to the little devil waving the trident, Luo Zhan took a silent breath.

He raised his hand, and his fingertips stiffly slid across the thin fabric, pretending to determine the position. Then Luo Zhan pinched the zipper and moved it slightly to adjust the stuck part.

After a while, making sure that the adjustment was smooth, Luo Zhan raised his eyes and looked above the zipper, preparing to close it.

But the next second, Luo Zhan’s hand suddenly froze——

In his sight.

On the girl’s fair lower back was a light red, petal-shaped birthmark.
