Chapter 005 Hello...
Chu Yinan threw the trash he had finished eating into the recycling bin. The bin automatically recognized the trash and sorted it correctly. He returned to his sister's side and asked:
"Yutang, where are you planning to go next? I haven't contacted you for so long, did you stand me up?"
"Maybe? But the editor might suddenly end the meeting and call me over, so I'll have to wait nearby. Should I call a car to take you home?"
Bei Yutang really wanted to keep this guy by her side, but she was going to meet the blind date assigned by the AI later, and it wasn't convenient in many ways. Even though she still had to have lunch with Chu Yinan, she had to avoid him for an hour or two at this moment.
"No need, I can call a taxi myself! Besides, I have to catch the second half of the show to meet a girl." Chu Yinan was telling the truth but pretending, his expression now showing more disgust and aversion because of his own imagination earlier.
Although the thought I just had was an unfounded guess, or even a malicious speculation, sometimes when such a thought arises, the feeling of unease makes it difficult to rationally evaluate the other person.
Bei Yutang observed her younger brother's expression for a few seconds. Having spent so much time with him, she knew his temperament quite well, and Xiao Chu Nan's dissatisfaction didn't seem feigned. Although she didn't know the specifics, she figured he was probably reluctant to go to the second half of the event.
Was this activity forcibly organized by the class group?
In that case, there's nothing to worry about.
After the siblings went their separate ways, the older sister headed straight for the coffee shop. There were no shops she wanted to visit nearby, so she decided to wait at the coffee shop first.
The young woman had half an hour to revise her work. After reserving a seat, she asked the receptionist:
Do you offer tablets for rent?
"Yes, but for safety reasons, please make sure you prepare your own cloud storage for AI security before using it."
Using public computers makes it difficult to guarantee that no one has left viruses or other malware on them. In contrast, cloud storage services with AI-like personalities can minimize the possibility of viruses infiltrating work files.
After getting her laptop and ordering coffee, Bei Yutang glanced at the time; she still had to wait more than twenty minutes.
*
Chu Yinan considered himself a warm-hearted person and felt it was necessary to help correct other people's mistakes at work.
So, after parting ways with his sister, he went back to the figurine shop, pulled out his electronic ID to make the clerk realize his initial mistake, but the female clerk still apologized while patting his head...
He then wandered around the 16X store for more than ten minutes, admiring all the life-size figures with big breasts, long white legs, and revealing clothing, before heading to the Iceland Cafe next door.
Perhaps because it was morning tea time, and with several large office buildings nearby attracting many white-collar workers, Chu Yinan actually had to queue to get in!
"Luckily I arrived ten minutes early, otherwise I would have been late if I had arrived right on time."
Perhaps to create a classic and elegant atmosphere, the café is decorated in a rustic style, and even the way of getting a seat number is very primitive - giving a seat card. This is unimaginable in other restaurants, where you can just use facial recognition to get a seat number.
"Here you are, little friend. Please wait patiently." The receptionist smiled and placed the small wooden tag in Chu Yinan's hand.
Kid my foot!
Chu Yinan cursed inwardly, but still obediently accepted the small wooden plaque and glanced at the number "71" on it.
"The person in front of me had number 69, but I got number 71 right away. Everyone else seemed to be getting their numbers in order."
With a sigh, he glanced at the interior layout plan next to him, found position 71, and quickly walked over there.
His seat was against the corner of the street. Chu Yinan liked the feeling of being tucked away in a corner and unnoticed. After sitting down, he looked towards the front desk and wondered which of the customers coming and going was his blind date.
"This is a young mother holding a child. The ring on her finger indicates her marital status. I don't know if it's because she's breastfeeding, but it's so big... She's definitely not here for a blind date with me."
"This woman, who seems to be from a working family, was dressed formally and walked with a steady gait. When she took her phone out of her bag to pay, it looked like the strap of her work badge was showing. That style is probably that of a prosecutor, right? Although she didn't have a ring, she's probably not the woman I was on a blind date with."
"Hmm? Is this a family dinner? That girl's butt... I think I've seen it before. She should be a senior in the same year as Yu Tang. Since it's a family dinner, it's not a blind date. Her mother is so voluptuous and gentle. I'm envious."
Because he was raised by AIs in Turing Tower when he was young, he often envied children who had parents.
Composing himself, Chu Yinan glanced at the time again. Less than three minutes remained. "Why haven't they arrived yet?" he muttered to himself.
"Strange, we're going to be late! Wait, could she think I meant an approximation...?"
When communicating with family members, he keeps the time exactly as it is. But outsiders might think that when he says half an hour, he means about half an hour. He's not sure what range that "about" means, but he hopes it won't exceed ten minutes.
Chu Yinan, who had been staring at the doorway, vaguely felt a gaze directed at him from next door.
"?"
He turned his head, wanting to see who was the fool who was peeking at his handsome face, but what he found was...
Bei Yutang was sitting in the seat next to him!
Why is she here?!
A similar surprise arose in Bei Yutang's heart. She had been looking at the documents and hadn't noticed Chu Yinan's appearance. Thinking that it was almost time, she stopped paying attention to what she was holding. Then she found that this guy was sitting next to her and craning his neck to look towards the door, obviously waiting for someone to appear.
The first to break the silence was Chu Yinan. He took a sip of unsweetened black coffee to calm himself, and then said in a low voice:
"Yutang, what are you doing here?"
Why can't I be here?
The conversation reached a stalemate, but neither of them was interested in "the reason for the other's appearance." Instead, they were both thinking about changing the meeting place as soon as possible, before the situation got to its worst.
If I wait for my blind date to arrive, it will be too late!
Bei Yutang secretly dialed the other party's number, intending to pretend that she had been informed of a change in the work meeting location once the call was connected.
hum-
Chu Yinan's phone rang in his pocket. He breathed a sigh of relief, as he could use the excuse of answering the call to leave for a while. Otherwise, he really wouldn't know how to answer his sister's questions. As for the interrogation when he got home, he could deal with that later!
"Yutang, I need to take this call—" Seeing that her sister had also received a call, Chu Yinan didn't want to disturb her and quickly answered her own call.
"Hello, Miss Bei, may I ask...?" "Mr. Meng, are you here...?"
They weren't speaking loudly, but the distance between them was enough for them to hear each other clearly.
The café was filled with conversation, but the atmosphere suddenly became quiet as it was located in a corner of the street.
The siblings looked up and gazed at each other again.
After a long while, Bei Yutang still hadn't hung up the phone. She stared at her younger brother and asked:
"Mr. Meng?"
Just then, Chu Yinan's phone also received a message saying "Mr. Meng".
It seems my blind date has arrived ahead of schedule...
He was filled with despair, his lips twitching as he bitterly said:
"Miss Bei, hello..."
Chapter 006 Is this how an older sister should act?
During his time at Turing Tower, Chu Yinan had read countless books and articles, and had seen all sorts of scenarios, such as his online love interest being his mother, his father meeting his son while having sex with a prostitute, and his sister-in-law being present during the Lantern Festival. But now... his assigned blind date turned out to be his sister who slept in the lower bunk.
Although he made the allocation in a sense, he really didn't pay attention to anyone's name back then. He just randomly grabbed a bunch of data to get the card draw rewards. He never expected that the person he randomly "drew" would be right next to him.
Chu Yinan couldn't reveal the inside story of how his mistake created the bug, as it concerned the reputation of AI. He knew there was a societal anti-AI sentiment, and revealing it would cause all sorts of trouble.
"That's it, nothing's been hidden?" The older sister confirmed again after hearing the little brat's report.
Important matters must not be lied to close family members—Chu Yinan silently recited the rule that Qilin Mother had once taught him, and honestly shook his head:
"There's something being withheld, but that part concerns the reputation of AI, which I can't talk about. But the general situation is that the AIs don't have enough authority to handle the bugs that appear in the plan, so we have to make do with what we have."
Chu Yinan sat opposite Bei Yutang with his head down as if he had done something wrong. The girl stared at her younger brother for a while, and finally sighed, giving up on asking any further questions.
This is outrageous!
Initially, she was a little upset when she found herself being "forced into a blind date" for no reason, and even wanted to curse. However, after learning some details from "Xiangxiang's Partner", she had to accept reality and thought about quickly completing the initial dating process and then reporting the situation as "incompatible values, the blind date is terminated".
For this first blind date, Bei Yutang was always worried that her younger brother would come and spy on her. She spent the whole morning scheming against the little brat, only to find out in the end that her blind date was actually Chu Yinan.
It seems that when he keeps saying he wants to "meet the girl," he really means meeting her, his older sister...
What kind of mess is this?
"But Yutang, don't worry too much. Logically speaking, we've already met on the blind date, so it's not considered a negative attitude. We should be able to terminate the blind date relationship directly."
Chu Yinan hurriedly took out his phone because he and his sister had already met for the first time as blind date partners, and the button to end their relationship had been activated.
The AI was designed this way to encourage couples to meet in person. Some people might be very resistant before meeting, but they might develop feelings for each other after meeting. Conversely, if the two parties don't meet, the AI's plan will not be able to proceed.
He clicked "Dissolve Relationship" and "Confirm." Bei Yutang took out her phone and quickly confirmed the information. A second later, Chu Yinan's phone received a reply saying "The other party refused to dissolve the relationship."
"Huh?" Chu Yinan looked up, meeting her sister's gaze with a puzzled look. "Yutang, why did you refuse?"
The girl took a sip of her hand-drip coffee and put her phone, which she had just finished processing, aside.
"Judging from what you just said, this bug is probably somewhat related to you, right? I didn't have the opportunity to access that information, but you were quite close to AI when you were young, so it can only be that something went wrong on your side, Chu Nan. You caused trouble and then dragged my blind date into it, bothering me for two days, and then suddenly you say you're canceling it as if nothing happened. Do you think that's appropriate?"
"Isn't that appropriate...? We're so familiar with each other, you can just say something about such a small mistake, right? I often pour water and make tea for you too." Chu Yinan said without much confidence, because the older sister in front of him wasn't very gentle when it came to her younger brother.
She's always upsetting and teasing us. Even the smallest things can keep her entertained for days. This time, she's probably going to keep playing with our blind date for a long time!
But this is just outrageous! Even if he's not her biological son, it's too much to go so far as to exploit the flaws in her blind date plan just to torment her younger brother!
"It's a bit unreasonable to cause trouble for the other person and then expect them to be understanding and accommodating."
"..." Chu Yinan realized that this was indeed the case, and he was speechless.
After all, he brought this upon himself. If he really wants the other party to end the relationship, he still needs to gain their understanding. Otherwise, no matter what, the other party is in the wrong.
"So, Yutang, what do you want to do? But it would be strange if Aunt Liu found out about this."
"What can I do? Don't I have to follow the quotas and tasks assigned in the matchmaking plan? If you want to get off the date sooner, you might as well listen to me and get the full rating as soon as possible, then you can get off the date, right?" A sly smile, like that of a little devil, appeared on the older sister's face.
Chu Yinan felt uneasy under her meaningful smile, momentarily losing his composure and being led by the nose, nodding and saying:
"That seems to be the case. So, what should we do now to improve our dating rating?"
The girl chuckled to herself, thinking to herself, "What a silly girl. Once you've gotten all the points in the blind date plan, you can naturally end the blind date. After all, the AI has already gone through the process of cultivating your relationship. So, you can just end the blind date and get married directly, right?"
"Come sit up here, I'll feed you cake."
Bei Yutang moved her chair back, making room for Chu Yinan. Chu Yinan glanced at his sister's plump, long, black-stockinged legs, the high-quality stockings highlighting the snow-white skin. He muttered "fat-legged woman" to himself, then climbed onto her lap, holding onto the armrest and her waist.
The older sister could have helped pull him up or hugged him, but Bei Yutang only wanted to see Chu Yinan clumsily climbing onto her.
Chu Yinan doesn't like cakes, which are high in sugar. They're typical junk food, even worse than barbecue, and can easily lead to obesity and acne. But what healthy food can you find in a coffee shop? I'll just have to make do this once.
"Eat." The older sister scooped a piece of cake with a fork and held it to her younger brother's lips, speaking in a commanding tone.
Chu Yinan hesitated for a moment, but still swallowed it whole, not giving the excessive sugar in the cake a chance to torment her tongue.
However, the result of this way of eating was that there was cream residue all over the mouth. Bei Yutang did not use a tissue. She wiped her brother's mouth with her slender fingers and then put her cake-stained fingers back to Chu Yinan's mouth.
