The package has assigned me way too many objects.

Could it be that Heinrich found her uninteresting and released her? However, it's also possible that Heinrich never intended for her to serve at Nasser Manor for too long in the first place. I remember when Iori-sensei looked at her colleagues' message group, no one mentioned Fukami Akemi. I guess the news was never released and was kept under wraps. The school administration didn't even know that such a thing had happened.

It doesn't matter anymore, it's nothing to worry about, I'll just go to school.

Chu Yinan planned to pretend nothing was wrong and walk past her, but when he passed Director Shenshui, this mature female director bit her lipstick-covered lips, walked up to him, straightened Chu Yinan's collar, and leaned down at an angle that no one would notice, saying "Young Master".

Then, her tone lost its usual fierceness, like a tigress whose teeth had been pulled, and she said in a weak voice:

"Pay attention to your appearance, and hurry back to the classroom."

Those around were stunned, looking at Chu Yinan and then at Director Shenshui.

What's going on? That tigress actually spoke to him in such a gentle tone and even straightened his collar?! This is unbelievable!

"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and get back to the classroom. We have the opening ceremony in the auditorium later. Stop dawdling!"

The reprimanding voice of Principal Shen Shui rang out again at the school gate. The students nodded in unison, thinking to themselves that this was exactly what they wanted, and then quickly left.

When Chu Yinan returned to the classroom, the room had already been ventilated and cleaned, but there was still a faint smell of dust in the air, a smell that lingered before the winter break.

It wasn't noticeable in the past; by the time it was smelled, winter break was already over.

Martin and Lianxiu arrived at the classroom fifteen minutes later than Chu Yinan. Their cheeks were sunken, their eyes were dark, and they looked completely drained.

"Hey you two, you're not addicted to anything, are you? I'll give you a contact number for addiction treatment. Behave yourselves."

Seeing Chu Yinan actually take out his phone, Martin quickly pressed it down: "No, no, no, are you serious? We didn't eat anything we shouldn't have, but... we got our hands on something fun?"

Lianxiu furtively took out his phone and showed Chu Yinan a purchase link, saying mysteriously:

"Don't say I didn't tell you, bro, this cup is amazing! It's like a vacuum cleaner, it emptied my cup completely!"

Chu Yinan looked at the link and found that it was from outside the island. Although the cup had been decorated, Chu Yinan still recognized it as something familiar—it looked a lot like the fertility module parts that Heinrich had given him to play with.

The price is quite high.

Could it be that the gray AI is short of money to create the doll body for itself, so it's making some cups to recoup its losses?

Martin put down his bag: "I'm done talking. I need to rest, otherwise I won't have the energy to go to the auditorium later."

Chapter 3 Casual Chats During the Opening Ceremony

A bankrupt AI forced to sell cups—what a sad story.

Gray AI was originally created to compete with Turing Tower's AI system, but unfortunately, it had many investors, which led to frequent changes in early decisions, which in turn hampered Gray AI's own development. Moreover, it was impossible for it to learn from Turing Tower, because Turing Tower itself had a bunch of industries, and the Minagawa family's wealth could also provide them with resources to burn. The starting point was different, and the backing was different as well.

Now that Qilin has given her the research data, the gray AI still has to scrape together money to build it. If she later discovers that the doll she created is a trap, I really don't know if she will lose consciousness.

After sitting in the classroom for half an hour, our familiar homeroom teacher came in wearing familiar black stockings. He gave a brief, formulaic speech, reminded us not to use our phones in the auditorium, and to refrain from playing music or short videos aloud. Then we all lined up and went to the auditorium to stand as punishment to listen to the opening lecture.

The principal was speaking on stage, and Director Shen Shui was sitting at the same table as the other leaders, looking quite imposing. The students below the stage, especially those in the middle and back rows, were naturally entertaining themselves.

Only those in the first few rows actually went to jail; they had to listen to the entire opening lecture.

Chu Yinan has a height advantage; when she stands in the student group, she disappears from sight, allowing her to play on her phone however she wants.

Martin and Lianxiu, for some unknown reason, probably felt that he had been single for too long and his sex life had only progressed to male masturbation. They were worried that his sperm would become stagnant and started recommending that cup to him.

"Are you really not going to buy one? This is more comfortable than any massage parlor I've ever been to, and it's actually not expensive at all!"

"Indeed, although your physical development may be limited by some kind of apical dominance, and your development may be limited to your brain, it does not prevent you from expressing yourself. It is not advisable to practice traditional crafts diligently. You should use tools when necessary."

What the hell is apical dominance? Do you think I'm a plant?

Many people have complained about height before, from elementary school to middle school and high school. It's something that's hard to avoid, but I've never heard anyone use such a strange term as "top advantage" to describe it.

They were clearly trying to be considerate of Chu Yinan's feelings, so as not to be too blunt and hurt him, but their novel and abstract descriptions only made Chu Yinan feel more awkward.

Thankfully, he has a larger size to boost his height confidence, otherwise they would have really called him autistic.

"Let me tell you something. After I quit playing mobile games, I accumulated some good luck and won a trial right for a cup from Turing Tower. It's a Qilin collaboration model."

Martin and Lianxiu: "Really?"

Because the chat content gradually became inappropriate, Chu Yinan switched to sending a message: "I'm completely drained, bro. I couldn't even last five minutes before my legs went weak."

After switching to mobile phone communication, the two guys' statements became no longer veiled.

Martin wholeheartedly agreed: "It really is that feeling of my legs going weak, like an electric shock running through my body. After a spasm, I can concentrate on doing math again."

Lianxiu sent a smug emoji and sighed, "But Turing Tower isn't really designed for this. Chu Yinan's experience was a bit lacking. My first time was one-sixtieth of an hour and two seconds short."

Why don't you just say 58 seconds? Using "hours" as the unit makes you seem like you're very long-lasting, right?

You might not believe it, but you were probably using the first-generation product during the holiday. Kirin is quite stingy; they only release the oldest version of this kind of technology that they don't need to leak.

Martin expressed deep concern: "When will we be able to compress this cup into a small umbrella, so that I can look at a real person and experience the cutting-edge prostate technology...?"

This way, you not only get to toast with the girls, but the girls also know how efficient you are. While others would waste ten minutes or more spending money at her place, these two people spend less than a minute and leave.

It's like spending money from a prostitute to earn ten minutes of life back.

This topic ended quickly, and Martin changed the subject, returning to the leader's speech, saying:

"This year's opening lecture didn't even mention the matching system, and the birth rate hasn't gone up either. Does the matching system think we're hopeless?"

"It can't be that bad. Although I'm stuck with a cup right now, I think the matching system is still very necessary. For the sake of the birth rate, I just reported the purchase link for that cup." Lian Xiu sighed, feeling that he had indirectly saved the birth rate.

Chu Yinan wiped the sweat from his brow, hoping the gray AI wouldn't come over along the internet cable and kill him.

"Holy crap, my phone just lagged and all my saved videos are gone!" Lianxiu suddenly cried out in despair.

My condolences. By reporting that link, you're essentially cutting off the lifeline of gray AI.

"Wow, time flies! It feels like this matching system was just launched not long ago. I was looking forward to who I would be matched with, and now a semester has passed in the blink of an eye. The matching system no longer requires students to be matched."

"I still have screenshots of my mission with that girl from outside the island. The mission was for us to watch a movie together at home. I secretly put an adult film in the box and then told the girl that the download link was broken. After that, the sound of that movie filled the room. The atmosphere was right, and I ended up having sex with the girl."

Is this even possible? Why do I never encounter such simple tasks?

Seeing that Chu Yinan hadn't spoken for a long time, Martin suddenly comforted him, "Chu Yinan, you don't need to peek anymore. It doesn't matter whether you peek or not. Look at us, we're still all alone in the end. Don't feel like you've lost out or are sad just because you haven't matched with any girls."

"You don't need to comfort me, I'm not sad at all!"

As they chatted idly, the time allotted for the opening lectures was gone. Chu Yinan didn't hear a thing, but she did remember the principal repeatedly emphasizing the matter of further education and graduation.

Let the seniors prepare and review well, let the juniors think about their direction for the senior year, and let the freshmen stop thinking of themselves as ignorant new students. In the blink of an eye, everyone will enter a new stage.

Similar thoughts had been expressed at the start of the last semester, but he hadn't really felt them, thinking they were still a long way off. However, Chu Yinan realized that this semester was coming to an end, and he would be a senior in high school. There would be no more senior students in the biology group above him, and no more older sisters to accompany him during lunch breaks. Suddenly, he felt restless and uneasy.

It's really unbelievable. Before the matchmaking system ruined him, Chu Yinan went through elementary school, middle school, and the first year of high school like this. Being alone was fine, and not walking home from school with his sister was even less of a problem.

He may be small in stature, but he has a big heart and can stand on his own.

As a result, after a semester, the matching system changed his mindset and habits.

Chapter 4 Yu Yu

The melancholy at the opening ceremony was like constipation; it was stuck in his heart, difficult to pass, and even when he went to have lunch with Yutang at noon, his emotions were still constipated.

"What's wrong, Xiao Chunan? Why do you look so listless at mealtime? Were you bullied?" Jiang Xuanya asked before Bei Yutang could, trying to win over her older sister.

Unlike Yu Tang, who had the advantage of being close to him at home, Jiang Xuan Ya could only seize the opportunity at times like this.

Risa Iori, sitting at the same table, rested her chin on her hand and looked at the little boy opposite her:

"It seems like the little guy has been like this all morning since the morning assembly in the auditorium. He's not exactly unfocused in class, but he's clearly not very enthusiastic and occasionally gets distracted. Maybe he had too much fun in the days before school started and didn't get enough rest?"

“No, I didn’t. I went to bed around 10:30 pm for the last few days. I can vouch for that,” Bei Yutang said abruptly.

These words were actually quite provocative. Jiang Xuanya cursed her in her heart, calling her a little bastard for showing off. She was clearly saying, "I am a witness because he slept with me."

My previous half-winter break at Lefèvre Estate was very fulfilling, as I got to play with the little guy every day. However, there was also a big regret: I didn't spend the night with him, not even once!

He slept like he was being kept by someone at night, and rarely slept alone. He never had the chance to invite her out, and Jiang Xuanya kept thinking about it until the end of the holiday.

But there really was no other way. If there had been even the slightest way, there would have been something else entirely.

And Bei Yutang expressed the enjoyment she longed for but could not obtain in this Versailles-like way.

Hey.

Bachmann, still wearing her white lab coat, looked at Iori Risa with disdain and rebuked her:

"Risa, why are you joining us for lunch? Is there no room in the office?"

They were in the cafeteria when two senior high school girls and a junior high school student arrived first. The three of them had just sat down when Bachman and Iori Risa joined them.

It was the first time Chu Yinan had ever squeezed into such a crowded table in the school cafeteria. Almost every student who passed by would glance at them, some with curiosity and some with envy.

Iori Risa angrily snatched the meat from Bachmann's plate: "How dare you say that to me? You came along too. I saw my lovely student looking listless, so I came over to ask if he was sick. Is there a problem? What are you doing here again?"

Bachmann never used to talk about her romantic relationships or marital status because she found it difficult to discuss. She was already the kind of person who attracted a lot of attention, so when she brought up such personal matters, even more attention was drawn to her.

Now she doesn't care anymore, and generously replied, "His father is my fiancé, and I'm practically his mother. What's wrong with caring about my son?"

"I'm too lazy to call you out on it. Don't lean your leg over here, it's too heavy... So what's wrong with Xiao Chu Nan? I'll give you a day off this afternoon, and I'll take you out to rest."

This is a unique advantage for Iori Risa; while her sisters are still in school, only she can take Xiao Chu Nan away.

Chu Yinan was overwhelmed by such "grand" attention and was too embarrassed to say anything:

"Actually, it's not a big problem. It's just that I suddenly realized that after Yutang and Sister Xuanya graduate soon, I won't be able to see you often anymore. And when it's my turn to graduate, it will be hard to see Teacher Yizhi and Little Mom Bachman. I feel melancholy and not used to it."

Jiang Xuanya didn't quite understand, but hearing that the boy had been thinking about her beforehand made her feel much happier.

"It's similar to saying goodbye to your junior high friends when you're in the final year of junior high and entering the first year of high school. Why can't Xiao Chu Nan adapt? Those close friends will always stay, while those you're not so close to will gradually drift apart. That's how it is."

Bei Yutang immediately spoke up, pressing down on Jiang Xuanya by a chest width: "I can understand. Of course, a social butterfly can't understand. In the end, it's because we lack common language."

"You!" Jiang Xuanya gritted her teeth, but then smiled and said, "Since you know so much, why don't you tell us? Ask Xiao Chunan if what you said is right or wrong. It would be embarrassing if you were wrong. You think you know everything? You might as well let Xiao Chunan stay at my house for a semester and see who knows more."

Bei Yutang said:

"Xiao Chunan didn't know many classmates in her previous school. By 'knowing,' I mean really close friends. She would only have one or two people she would often talk to. After moving up to a higher level, she would keep in touch for a while, but then gradually lose contact with them. Last semester was probably the last few months in which Xiao Chunan made the most new friends. She even met two female civil servants outside!"

Everyone roughly understood his emotional state: suddenly he had many more people around him, and then suddenly he wouldn't see them anymore; he was just not used to it.

"It's okay, you can come visit me again later~ I'll try to come back to visit Xiao Chunan more often." Jiang Xuanya said, putting lemon juice into a straw and bringing it to his lips.

Bei Yutang continued to subtly pierce Jiang Xuanya's heart: "Jiang Xuanya, you don't need to care so much. Xiao Chunan is just not used to not having an older sister who is with him day and night at home."

Bei Yutang would always use the cohabitation issue to provoke her, but Jiang Xuanya couldn't come up with a single rebuttal. She could only lament that her mother was so heartless!

"Can't you say anything else? If my mother hadn't been so useless and hadn't brought Xiao Chu Nan home to raise, I'd be the one bragging about you now!"
