After lying down for a while, her phone rang. The girl checked the caller ID, then spoke in an upbeat tone:
"Hey, brother, why are you calling all of a sudden? Is it work-related and you need to help again?"
Chu Yinan is actually currently on Glory Island, right next to the fountain in the square in front of the monastery.
He had been waiting here for half an hour, just waiting for the prosecutor's office to investigate BG Company, and then for Valentina to quickly release a news report about this matter, and also to clarify things for Marissa, and criticize the big company for maliciously playing with contracts to cheat underage employees.
Actually, the rumors about Marissa didn't attract much attention on the artificial island, and not many people knew about them, but things still had to be done.
He wanted to talk to Marissa about her job and coordinate their stories, but he was too young to meet her in person, so he had to call her.
Chu Yinan adjusted the voice changer to make his voice sound less childish.
“Marisa, I just had a moment of glory, I went to someone else’s company and taught them a lesson.”
"A fight? What happened?!" Marissa didn't understand his thoughts on the matter, but she still asked with concern.
"I once heard Chika Morishiro's sleep voice by chance, and it was a very nice voice. This morning, on my way to my next work station, I accidentally learned some things about you, and I felt very angry. It just so happened that the place I was going to work was BG Company, so I gave them a good beating."
Strange, why is there no response? Hearing such gratifying news, doesn't she feel even a little bit happy?
Chu Yinan wanted to wait for Marissa's response, but unexpectedly, the girl remained silent, so he had no choice but to continue:
"I can't comfort you about those sad things. I can only say a dry 'Don't take it to heart.' I didn't call to take credit for this. It's just that... I might have gone a bit too far when I was teaching that person a lesson, and now I'm getting into trouble. So if anyone asks me about it later, Marissa, please put in a good word for me."
Chu Yinan was actually afraid that Mandy and Shibuya Yi would follow Marissa's lead and expose him, or rather, find out about his constant blind dates and matching with people.
So the main thing is to give Marisa a statement and make her not mention the blind date. As for what to say and what not to say, Valentina will summarize it for him and send a document to Marisa.
"Rongguang Island isn't managed by AI, but if you have any worries or troubles, you can call the AI. They offer... psychological counseling services that can help you. Check the news now; it should be reported there. That's all for now, see you next time!"
Chu Yinan said "goodbye" but did not hang up immediately. He waited a few seconds, hoping for Marissa's reply, but instead heard her pitiful sobbing.
The girl asked in a tearful voice, "...Brother, can I see you? Where are you? I'll come find you."
Chapter 22 The moment you stick your butt out, I know you're about to poop.
When Marissa saw Chu Yinan, she was completely stunned, so stunned that she forgot her grievances and sadness, staring blankly at the pink-haired little boy in front of her.
Chu Yinan felt helpless under her gaze. It wasn't what she wanted, but the CD wasn't ready yet, so she couldn't change it! Hearing her sobbing on the phone, he couldn't help but invite her over to meet him.
"...Excuse me, who are you?" Marissa asked again, glancing left and right as if her brother was hiding somewhere and teasing her.
"Didn't you want to see me?" Chu Yinan switched the voice changer to speaker mode. "There are many reasons for this, such as Turing Tower, you know?"
If Marissa is doing well on her own, Chu Yinan doesn't want to disturb her life. There's no need to know things that aren't necessary to know. If it's really necessary, the abbess of the monastery will tell her.
But in the current situation, the only way to explain this problem is to mention Turing Tower and the fact that everyone was born in the same "orphanage".
Fortunately, Marissa wasn't the kind of noisy child who would yell and scream. She listened quietly as Chu Yinan explained, even though she found it unbelievable, and still let him finish.
"I know it's a bit far-fetched, but you can contact the AIs when you get back. Contact any of them, and they'll tell you more details. Because the nobles on Glory Island care about their status, the AI sisters can't interfere too much here. At most, they can open a door or something. They can't contact you on their own initiative."
"So that means you really are my brother?" Marissa only confirmed this fact after listening to the whole story.
"Well, my appearance is probably due to the AI sisters' poor skills. Between taste and figure, I can only give up the latter. As for Marissa, her voice is probably the 'talent' given to you by the AI sisters." Chu Yinan touched his chin maturely, and suddenly became sad.
In his muscular form, he could feel his stubble, but now it's all gone, and his chin has returned to its smooth, soft texture.
"...My voice is my gift."
“Yes, you don’t need to worry about talent or anything like that. Just treat it as a shining point that everyone has and live your life as usual.” Chu Yinan briefly explained his life situation, and then went back to the beginning, “Then Marissa, why were you crying on the phone just now?”
Marissa rarely complains to others and doesn't want to share her unhappiness with them, but since he's her brother, even if he's a little small, it's okay for her to talk about it, right?
"Because I felt a little wronged, I tried my best to do my job well, but then people spread rumors about me and said bad things about me. Even when I decided not to renew my contract, they said it was as if I had done something wrong... Then I suddenly found out that someone was standing up for me and supporting me, and I was very happy."
The tear ducts are sometimes strange things. When you're holding back your grievances, you can be very strong, but once you know someone is standing up for you, a sour feeling wells up in your nose, and you can't stop the tears from flowing.
Chu Yinan didn't ask any questions. He put his slippers on the stone bench, patted Marissa's head, and said in a fatherly tone:
"It's okay to be sad, but you don't have to keep it bottled up. If you have any troubles, just talk to the AI sisters. After all, they're the ones who brought us into this world, so their after-sales service is pretty good. I guess I should be leaving soon!"
"Oh, are you leaving so soon?" the girl thought with reluctance.
"Yes, the prosecutor's office and the police station will send people over in a bit. I should go now. Besides, I sneaked out this morning, so I should go back. If you need anything, feel free to contact me."

Just after leaving the territory of Glory Island, Chu Yinan encountered a prosecutor's vehicle passing through a checkpoint. Fortunately, he was difficult to spot as he blended into the crowd, but no one should suspect him.
There shouldn't be any problems with Marissa's side; everything is perfectly fine.
However, although Shibuya Giri and Mandy escaped their pursuit, Chu Yinan ran into his sister who was returning from buying fruit as soon as he got home.
Before Chu Yinan could return to reality from his role as the older brother, he was immediately reverted to his original role as the younger brother.
"Tell me, where did you go all morning? You were nowhere to be seen as soon as I got up, and you only came back when it was almost lunchtime."
Bei Yutang held her younger brother's hand and spun him around to check if he was dirty or sweaty, or if he had any perfume or cosmetics on him.
However, Chu Yinan didn't smell at all.
"I went to Tiansheng Plaza and bought a latte, and that's exactly what happened there!"
The case at Tiansheng Plaza? Oh!
Bei Yutang remembered it because it had just happened not long ago. The AI news channel had even pushed it to her, about things like unpaid wages for interns and embezzlement of company assets. But Bei Yutang was obviously more concerned with something else entirely.
"Is there another case in the area you went to?"
"I didn't want to either, but I kept Aunt Liu and Yu Tang's words in mind and stayed far away. I avoided Prosecutor Shibuya and Senior Superintendent Mandy the whole way, not giving them a chance for me to solve the case." Chu Yinan acted very innocent, but in fact he was very guilty.
Bei Yutang didn't know how to evaluate it, so she could only say with mixed feelings, "Well, you're quite obedient. Is there anything else you want to tell me?"
"The Kirin Radar detected a younger sister for me, does that count?"
"Sister?" This left the girl completely confused.
What did that little brat do all morning? Did he run into a case and get a little sister?
"Yes, Turing Tower created a lot of children back then, and Qilin and the others discovered that one of my younger sisters was on Glory Island. So I went to visit her on the way. After all, I am an older brother, and it wouldn't be right not to see my sister."
Bei Yutang knew something about what Chu Yinan was talking about. Her mother, Yan Liu, had a batch of Chu Yinan's childhood videos, which contained a bunch of Turing Tower babies.
But the youngest batch should be around 15 or 16 years old now, right?
A picture flashed through the girl's mind: a tall girl calling the tiny Chu Yinan "brother," a scene that was quite interesting.
"What's your sister's name? What kind of child is she?"
“Marisa is a nun from the Convent of Our Lady. She was adopted by the convent. After all, she is my sister, and her kindness is barely up to my level. I encourage her not to be arrogant.”
"Pfft!" The older sister was amused by the little rascal. "Barely keeping up with you? Then wouldn't you be a very naughty yet worry-free child?"
"What have I done to cause trouble for others?!"
"Who got kidnapped after missing a car while walking at night?"
"..." Chu Yinan fell silent. That was clearly one of the highlights of his life, but unfortunately no one could see through his disguise. He was lonely.
"Tell your Aunt Liu about Marissa later. She probably wants your little sister to come over as a guest."
"Really?"
"Isn't this why you brought up Marissa with me?" Bei Yutang pinched his nose.
"How did you know?"
Chapter 23 Teaching-type Bionic Dolls
"Oh, it's your younger sister! You can invite her over for dinner next time. Are there any restrictions on nuns in this regard?"
"No, the rules and regulations of the Notre Dame Monastery are not many. It exists as a place for managing religious beliefs and the like," Heinrich said simply, and then started eating, occasionally praising Yan Liu's cooking.
"But the 'sister' Chu Nan mentioned, could it be the girl in the news during the day? The one who was slandered and had her salary embezzled?" Bei Yutang suddenly said, staring at him suspiciously: "So when Chu Nan said he encountered a case, he was actually just there to help his sister get revenge, right?"
Chu Yinan, who was drinking water, was startled and almost vomited. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and managed to swallow it down against all odds, but she still choked and coughed repeatedly.
"Chu Nan, let me wipe it for you!"
Chun, the maid sitting one seat away from Chu Yinan, hurriedly grabbed a tissue from the side. Incidentally, both maids were now being encouraged by Bei Yutang to call their young master Chu Yinan.
The silver-haired maid bent down to wipe Chu Yinan, but her full, firm breasts knocked over the soup bowl, and the cold soup spilled onto Chu Yinan.
Delia wanted to stop it, but it happened so suddenly that it was too late by the time she realized what was happening, and she could only cover her face in silence.
Five minutes later, Chu Yinan returned after changing his clothes and continued eating lunch.
Chun pitifully moved a seat further away from Chu Yinan. If it weren't for Diliya's reprimand of "not affecting the conversation during the meal," she would probably be apologizing while eating.
"Continuing the topic, what do you mean by venting your anger?" Yan Liu pinched Chu Yinan's cheek warningly, signaling her daughter to continue.
Bei Yutang then told him that Chu Yinan had encountered another case, without covering it up for him. She couldn't indulge him in this matter; safety was the most important thing.
"But he didn't start the case, so what does Guan Xiaochunan have to do with helping Marissa vent her anger?" Heinrich couldn't understand the logic behind this.
"But Xiao Chunan has been having really bad luck lately. He seems to run into trouble wherever he goes. It's probably because he found out his sister was being bullied, so he started loitering around outside other people's companies." Yan Liu thought this superstitious theory was pretty plausible.
Diliya and Chun listened silently, unable to tell whether Yan Liu was praising Chu Yinan or criticizing him.
"Let's eat first anyway. Heinrich has finished eating, but Chu Nan hasn't even touched his bowl, he's only eaten a couple of mouthfuls of rice." Bei Yutang noticed that her younger brother seemed to have little appetite, and he was even hesitant to eat the food.
But actually, Chu Yinan was experiencing a side effect of becoming a macho man; his taste buds had become severely weakened, and he had no desire to eat. Stuffing a bunch of tasteless food into his mouth would instinctively cause him some physiological aversion.
But not eating wasn't an option, so he cheered himself up and started eating.
He ate the plain pork chop first. Yan Liu and Heinrich were quite satisfied with the dish. Then Chu Yinan chewed a couple of bites and spat it out.
"......vomit."
Pure: QAQ
Chu Yinan pretended to be nonchalant, calmed himself down, and then ate a bite of the vegetables that Yan Liu had prepared. This time he swallowed it, but soon he began to gag.
"vomit--"
Yan Liu: "?"
What's wrong with this little guy today?
Bei Yutang poured a glass of water for her younger brother and asked, "You really don't have much of an appetite? Last time we went to the guesthouse for vacation, I saw that you really liked the food there. Do you want to ask for the recipe?"
