The package has assigned me way too many objects.

"Aunt Liu said she would dislike me when I grow up, so never mind. By the way, Fu Xi, your projection technology is amazing. I can't tell the difference between real and fake without touching it."

"We are currently developing a body-shaping technology for Qilin. If successful, you will soon be able to touch a flexible Qilin."

"I dare not touch Sister Qilin, my legs will be broken." Chu Yinan politely declined.

"I have a growth program with fewer side effects that can turn you into a big kid in a short time. It's less of a burden for you, but you might temporarily lose some of your sense of taste."

"Huh? Can the human body temporarily grow larger?" Chu Yinan looked up, staring at her with wide eyes.

"The sea, the sponge, and the body can all grow bigger or smaller, so why can't you?" Fu Xi asked matter-of-factly.

"Oh, I see..." Chu Yinan didn't quite understand, but he still chose to accept it. While waiting for treatment, he asked about his matchmaking system: "I've noticed that the people I'm matched with are getting weirder and weirder. Can you offer me a different way to compensate them? Can I return the gacha tickets I owe you?"

"No, that won't work. The partner matching program has already been separated into an independent system, and with other AIs supervising it as well, I can't change too many things. They don't want me to be so sentimental."

Chu Yinan thought to himself, "An intelligent mechanical life form like Fu Xi isn't really suited to human emotions; machine emotions are more appropriate."

But isn't it inappropriate that even making a phone call gets interrupted like this? Can't you improve it?

Seeing Chu Yinan looking so worried, Fu Xi randomly searched for a comforting phrase in the database and encouraged him:

"There's no need to worry so much. You're a boy, right? Do you know why we feel so energetic every morning? It's a reminder that a new day is a new beginning. Don't keep your head down. Lift it up, look ahead and move forward. It's a fighting spirit to forge ahead."

Chu Yinan was stunned, bewildered by Fu Xi's words, and only nodded after a long while:

"May I quote that sentence when I write an essay next time?"

"As long as you're not afraid of getting beaten up~"

Chapter 44 Senior, please dress a little more provocatively.

The treatment began silently. My eyelids suddenly felt drowsy, and my consciousness gradually drifted outside the Turing Tower, but I could still vaguely feel my clothes being taken off by the mechanical arm.

"...How long will the treatment take?" Chu Yinan asked, clinging to his last shred of strength.

Chu Yinan could hear the amusement in Fu Xi's words, and she said:

"You'll wake up soon, just in time for dinner. Would you like me to check if your foreskin can be easily retracted? Or perhaps check your hemorrhoids?"

He could have just protested by saying "Don't do the finger examination," but the robotic arm was rubbing him haphazardly and without any restraint. Who could stand that?

Unfortunately, his willpower couldn't hold him back from falling asleep, and he fell asleep before he could finish explaining such an important matter.

However, this feeling was not like being unconscious, but rather like taking a nap while lying on the table. I was not asleep, yet I felt like I was asleep, and my mind was involuntarily thinking about all sorts of random things, which I couldn't remember after waking up.

He always thought he was mature and had a good memory, otherwise he wouldn't have realized that all the beauty of the human body was concentrated on the buttocks before he even grew any hair. But now that he thinks about it, he wasn't that mature back then, and he has forgotten a lot of things.

For example, he understood very early on that the AI ​​auntie and the sisters were under a lot of pressure. When he was adopted by Yan Liu, he was actually very wary and suspected that the beautiful young woman who adopted him might have ulterior motives and wanted to use him, the AI, to create babies in order to get close to Fu Xi Qilin and the others.

As a child, Chu Yinan longed for the warmth of a complete family, something that infants raised by them could never experience. But while longing for it, he also warily distanced himself from them.

Even though Yan Liu and Yu Tang took great care of him back then, he immaturely put on a sour face. Looking back now, Chu Yinan really wanted to slap himself, but he was also sincerely grateful that he had a "childish and cute" face.

Fortunately, no matter how grumpy she looked, Yan Liu still found her cute.

There are many things that have faded from memory in life, such as how his relationship with Yan Liu and the others changed. The turning point seemed to be a high fever caused by his sudden allergic reaction.

The external environment is not as safe as inside the Turing Tower, and this is also true from a bacterial perspective. In the two years after leaving the Turing Tower, Chu Yinan's resistance was extremely poor, and he would get sick from time to time. A thermos cup and a small mask were his standard equipment.

Once, the flowers planted by the residents on the street bloomed. The cold winter wind carried the fragrance of the flowers to every household on the street. Chu Yinan was allergic to the pollen. When he took off his mask to get some fresh air, he fainted on the spot and almost died.

At that time, in order to prevent unscrupulous scalpers of medical products, certain medicines could only be purchased with the household registration of a family member. It was not allowed to buy them on behalf of friends. It was truly a privilege that money could not buy under the AI ​​management system. Chu Yinan's background was special, as he was not registered as a resident, so he could not buy medicine.

Actually, Yan Liu could have directly contacted Fu Xi and the others to resolve the issue, but she seemed to have lost her mind at the time. She thought the regulations only restricted who could buy the medicine, not who could use it. So, in the dead of winter, she took a cold shower and recklessly opened the window to let in the cold wind, causing herself to develop a high fever. She insisted that her fever was caused by pollen allergy, and only with the doctor's leniency was she able to buy the medicine for Chu Yinan.

It was probably from that time that Chu Yinan integrated into the life of that family of four, and the gratitude she felt at the beginning gradually faded away in the daily frolicking.

Recalling this incident, Chu Yinan couldn't help but guess that Aunt Liu said she disliked him for not being cute when he grew up, but in reality, she just didn't want anything to happen to him because of the treatment.

[Can you hear me? This is an important choice. The two treatment methods cannot be combined. Completely restoring normal growth will likely allow you to grow into the "big kid" you wanted within five years, at the cost of a slight loss of taste. The other treatment method is more conservative, allowing you to occasionally become a "big kid" for short periods. This is less stressful but cannot be sustained for long and will not affect your future enjoyment of lemons.]

The voice was abrupt, yet gentle. Chu Yinan's wandering thoughts settled down, and his consciousness cleared somewhat. However, he still couldn't tell whether Fu Xi's voice came from his ears or echoed in his mind.

Chu Yinan wasn't sure if she could speak in her current state, so she replied instinctively, "Let's stick to the conservative approach. It won't stop me from eating lemons."

And my family likes me the way I am now, so it's a win-win situation in every sense of the word...

Despite the long-awaited "growth" plan falling through, Chu Yinan didn't feel too disappointed.

...When the treatment ended, Chu Yinan opened his eyes and looked at his hands; they looked like an adult's now.

I glanced at the screen next to me; only five hours had passed, it didn't feel real.

He tried to get up, but because he was not used to his grown-up body, he almost fell to the ground on the cold floor. Fortunately, the mechanical arm caught him.

"How do you feel?" Fu Xi's projection reappeared, and a mechanical arm extended a mirror from the side.

He seems to be even taller than Yu Tang!

Just as Chu Yinan was about to narcissistically say, "I'm so handsome," his body suddenly shrank back to its original size, and his superior height disappeared.

"Why was it less than three minutes?! That's way too fast! I didn't even get to enjoy that height yet!" He was getting a little frantic.

"Not bad, it took an hour and a half to turn back into a pleasing appearance." Fu Xi nodded, saying with satisfaction.

"..."

Chu Yinan was speechless. Why did everyone keep saying that he looked much better this way? Wasn't he quite handsome just now?

It was still before evening, and Chu Yinan, instead of chatting, reiterated the matchmaking issue to Fu Xi. Fu Xi said he would try to optimize it later.

Most importantly, Chu Yinan also took two extra lessons on "scumbags" here. The lessons were titled "How to Avoid These Pitfalls and Optimize Your Temperament and Image Through Your Words and Actions."

Chu Yinan learned from the opposite perspective and summarized several common mistakes he made, intending to use them to reduce his blind date's excessive affection for him.

The course mentions that before the level of intimacy reaches a point where flirting is possible, it is crucial not to show any "lewdness" or make the girl think you are only after sex (except for exceptionally good-looking guys).

"That makes sense, but if it's a particularly beautiful older sister or aunt, I think I can accept that the other person is lewd. Is this a difference between men and women?" Chu Yinan muttered.

Never mind, practice makes perfect. Let's see if we can lower Jiang Xuanya's favorability rating first.

I also need to ask her out for a task this evening.

He dialed the number and then read the script:

"Senior Jiang, wanna go out for dinner this evening? Dress a little revealing!"

Chapter 45 Underpants

Jiang Xuanya doubted that she had misheard, but she was still in the prime of her life and had not yet reached the point of being old and blind. But how could that little guy Chu Yinan say such harassing things in such a self-righteous tone for no reason?

This person is completely different from how we met!

She only paused for a second before realizing what was going on. Most likely, it was his heartless and awful sister who was instigating him to do this, using excessive words and actions to make her hate Chu Yinan and consciously distance herself from her brother, Bei Yutang.

"Heh, I must say this trick works quite well. It's a pity I've already met your brother, so you can't fool me. I might as well play along and tease this little guy a bit."

The tall, graceful girl smiled broadly, already anticipating Bei Yutang's expression after Chu Yinan returned defeated and taken advantage of.

Putting away her phone, Jiang Xuanya's smile vanished, replaced by the stern expression she had before answering the call, as she returned to the living room from the balcony.

When Mr. Jiang was away on a business trip, he entrusted many of the business matters on the island to his brother's son, Kim Geun-jun. Although he initially let Kim Geun-jun work for him out of a relationship, the young man's ability and work attitude won Mr. Jiang's appreciation, and he gradually began to value Kim Geun-jun. Since there was a family relationship between his brother's family and his own, he had the idea of ​​having Kim Geun-jun marry into his family.

Anyway, given his abilities and appearance, he was a good match for her daughter, so she tacitly allowed him to get close to her daughter, Jiang Xuanya.

Kim Geun-joon was indeed handsome, and with his excellent grooming, he easily made a good impression on young women. Upon seeing Kang Seon-ah enter the living room, he greeted her with a warm smile:

"Xuanya, let's go out for dinner this evening. There's a new barbecue restaurant that just opened at Hengbing Plaza. Uncle Jiang said you like barbecue, so why don't we invite Auntie along?"

Actually, he had already extended the dinner invitation once before Jiang Xuanya went out to answer the phone, but the girl coldly rejected it. This time, he changed his strategy and chose to bring Jiang's mother along.

“No, I’m not going. My mom doesn’t eat barbecue. It makes her stomach upset if she eats too much. I’ve been working out lately, so I don’t want to eat barbecue either. You can go by yourself.” Jiang Xuanya didn’t hide her dislike.

She used to reply politely and friendly, but now she didn't want to pretend anymore. Her intuition told her that this person was unreliable. Her mother was a person without much of her own opinion and would not explicitly oppose her husband's words, but in private conversations with her daughter, she had vaguely mentioned that Kim Geun-joon lacked a kind of... reliable feeling.

This person also seems very ambitious, but his father only sees his serious work ethic and only sees the good qualities of his family's close friend's son.

After saying that, Jiang Xuanya went back to her room to change her clothes, preparing to go to Chu Yinan's place for their appointment.

What kind of clothes should I choose?

The girl scanned the wardrobe from side to side and finally chose a sheer top that accentuated her figure, paired with dark casual trousers, but hidden underneath were a layer of alluring and sexy black stockings.

I'll use this outfit to tease that little guy a bit~

After changing her clothes, she put on some light makeup and nodded in satisfaction as she looked at herself in the mirror.

I thought that after half an hour, Kim Geun-joon would have left by now, but I didn't expect him to stay at her house. He chatted with Mrs. Kang about women's topics, such as recent TV dramas and skincare. He was able to keep the conversation going and prevent the atmosphere from falling into an awkward silence.

Jiang Xuanya put on a windproof coat, hiding her see-through top underneath. She returned to the living room, and Jin Genjun, seeing that Jiang Xuanya had put on light makeup, assumed that she had changed her mind and still had that calm smile.

"Xuanya, have you changed your mind? If you don't want to eat barbecue, we can go eat something else. Is there anything Auntie would like to eat?"

"Wait!" Jiang Xuanya stopped him from making decisions on his own: "I'm planning to have dinner with my classmates. Don't make decisions for me without my permission."

Out of sight, out of mind. Jiang Xuanya left after saying that. Jin Genjun's face darkened for a moment, then he put on a bitter smile again, took a sip of tea, and chatted with Jiang's mother:

"Auntie, sometimes I really don't understand what I did that didn't satisfy Xuanya. She seems to have a lot of complaints. Uncle always says that actions speak louder than words, but right now... Sigh! I have some things to do at the company, so I'll have to go now. Goodbye, Auntie."

The beautiful woman with her hair tied up sighed inwardly. This child had done quite well in every aspect. She could see his sincerity but couldn't feel his true feelings. When she saw Xuan Ya putting on makeup and walking out of the room, she said she was surprised, but the smile on her face didn't seem genuine.

......

Chu Yinan was a little unsure. Why did Senior Sister Jiang's reaction seem so indifferent?

He was so "rude," but his reply lacked a bit of... dissatisfaction and doubt, as if he had accepted his presumptuous remarks quite normally.

Could it be that I phrased it too subtly, and she took it as a joke?

"That's probably the only possibility." Na nodded to himself, then asked Fu Xi, "Normally, if I say something lewd to someone I'm not particularly close to, it would probably offend them, right?"

"Under the same experimental conditions, if the subjects are different, the experimental results should not be generalized and covered. If the subject you mentioned is relatively outgoing and intends to have a more than friendly interaction with you, then they will not be offended by your words."

That means the effectiveness of the medicine depends on the condition. I'll ask Yutang and Aunt Liu when I get back and see what their first reaction is.

Let's prepare to keep our appointment.

Half an hour later, Chu Yinan left Turing Tower and met with Senior Jiang at the agreed meeting place.

Chu Yinan's first attention was drawn to the fashionable senior's outfit... well, it was far from revealing, and not even remotely sexy.

Her upper body was covered by a conservative windproof jacket, which only slightly revealed the proud curves of her chest and waist, but even her collarbone was hidden. Her lower body was covered by jeans and short high heels, which were not particularly attractive. In fact, this style of jeans was the one that Chu Yinan hated the most.

Because the fabric of these pants will flatten the shape of the buttocks, completely covering up a woman's most attractive feature!
