Chapter 10: Falling into His Warm Embrace

Translator: Ruriko

Early the next morning, Ruan Bai set out from his home. He had asked his mother to prepare two portions of breakfast on the pretext of him feeling hungry easily. But in fact, one portion was for She Yuan.

Ruan Bai arrived at She Yuan’s flat before 7:30 a.m. The door opened as soon as he knocked. He looked up to see the home robot standing in the doorway, instead of She Yuan.

Yesterday She Yuan had imported Ruan Bai’s photo to Face Recognition System of the home robot, so the robot would answer the door as soon as Ruan Bai knocked.

Ruan Bai touched the robot’s head and praised, “Wow, you’re doing a terrific job.”

The home robot felt happy and broke into a fit of mechanical giggles.

Ruan Bai walked around the flat and found that the door of the main bedroom was closed tightly. He guessed that She Yuan was still sleeping. So he crept into the kitchen, washed his hands, and set the breakfast on the table.

He got up early this morning and had no time to feed Dave. Although guarding beasts relied on their masters’ optical computers to get power, as the simulation technology had matured, they had the same characteristics as real animals, such as habits and appearance, but they wouldn’t lose hair, defecate or die. So it was convenient to have a guarding beast for company.

For example, the prototype of Dave was an improved pet pig. The length of his body wouldn’t exceed 60 centimetres even when he matured physically. His whole body was pink and covered with soft fine hair, and His ears slightly sagged. When he was happy, his ears would stand up. He often hummed to himself and enjoyed his favorite food.

Compared with other people’s guardian animals, Dave was not outstanding because he was small in size and timid. In addition, Ruan Bai had always spoiled Dave from an early age. Therefore, Dave was often lazy in training, which led to him being less powerful than other pig-shaped guarding beasts of his own kind. His only advantage was that he had an acute sense of smell, which was truly unmatched by other guarding pigs. Dave’s sense of smell was of great assistance to Ruan Bai in researches.

Therefore, Ruan Bai never looked down upon Dave; instead, he always treated Dave as his good partner and doted on Dave because Dave had accompanied him during his loneliest period in early youth.
