"Besides discounts, are there any other rewards or promotions?" Chu Yinan asked. "At least give me a toy like with the kids' meal, right?"

The waitress replied, "No, but our couples' activity is very simple. Just kiss and take a photo at this heart-shaped backdrop to get a discount."

Never mind, it's not a big deal.

Since the matching system now considers them to be on a date, all their meal expenses can be reimbursed.

"Let's go, Marissa, let's see what you like to eat."

Chu Yinan took Marissa's hand, intending to lead her to the front desk to order food, but found that the girl didn't seem to want to leave.

Chu Yinan looked at him with a questioning gaze.

Marissa tugged at Chu Yinan's sleeve and whispered, "Um... try not to miss out on any discounts that can save you money. I just think we need to cut back on expenses and not be so extravagant!"

"It's only 25% off, so you don't actually save much."

There's another reason for this: the expenses of these restaurants' activities can be reimbursed by the AIs, and subsidies may be available depending on the circumstances.

So even if Marissa thinks she saved money by getting a discount, she actually spent the AI ​​sisters' money.

There was no province at all.

However, Chu Yinan couldn't reveal the inside story to his face, nor could he say something as foolish as "So what if it's a waste? We're not short of money."

...It shouldn't matter if we just kiss on the cheek.

Chu Yinan led Marissa to the heart-shaped backdrop, where there were two half-heart shaped chairs that, when put together, formed a heart. The man and woman sat on opposite sides when taking photos.

After settling in, Chu Yinan, aiming to finish quickly, kissed the girl's cheek before getting up to order food.

The waitress waved for him to sit down again, saying, "Why are you in such a hurry? Don't be so shy. I haven't even taken any pictures yet!"

Chu Yinan had no choice but to sit down again, but this time when he was about to peck Marissa's cheek again, the girl took the initiative to press her soft cherry lips to his face.

It looked like it was on her cheek, but Chu Yinan clearly felt it was at the corner of her mouth.

Chu Yinan looked at her in surprise, but Marisa blushed and tried to cover his eyes with her hand.

"Okay, all taken. You two can go order now. We'll give you the photos with your meal later. Would you mind if we posted them online?"

"I do mind," Chu Yinan said immediately. "We'd rather keep the photos to ourselves; we're too embarrassed to show them to others."

"no problem."

......

When Chu Yinan came before, he was treated like a junior, and was even deprived of the right to eat independently. He was basically fed by others the whole time.

That was a completely unpleasant eating experience.

It's so frustrating when you encounter delicious food but can't control your eating pace!

But he himself was also curious about what the fun was in being fed, and why the older women in his family were so happy to stuff food into his mouth.

Now that he's the eldest brother, Chu Yinan finally has the chance to experience it.

It's still warm now, so Chu Yinan has found a suitable euphemism for this event: "the era of girls wearing super short skirts and shorts." Many girls on the street dress like this to stay cool.

Besides ordering his usual fare like fries, Chu Yinan naturally added an ice pop for Marissa.

"Come on, Marissa, have some to cool off." Chu Yinan gently held the girl's hand. "You don't need to lift a finger, I'll hold it for you."

Eating popsicles is a delicate matter, especially when someone else is feeding you. It's hard to control the direction and position, making it inconvenient for the person eating.

Marissa complied with Chu Yinan's wishes. Looking at the popsicle in front of her, she leaned over and stuck out her little tongue to lick the icy cold popsicle.

Marissa licked the popsicle up and down for a while, until her tongue felt a little numb from the cold...

She wanted to stop and rest for a while, but the popsicle was starting to melt, and the melted water was about to flow into Chu Yinan's hands.

Marissa didn't want Chu Yinan's hands to get sticky from the popsicles. If the popsicle juice got on his suit sleeves, it would be even more troublesome to clean them!

In desperation, she had no choice but to put the popsicle in her mouth and look at Chu Yinan with pitiful eyes.

Seeing that she was uncomfortable from the cold, Chu Yinan quickly took out the popsicle, wrapped it in a tissue, and placed it on the plate.

"Never mind, I won't eat anymore. It was my fault for being curious." Chu Yinan apologized.

"It's okay, I don't feel too bad, it's just a little cold. It's much easier than when I woke up yesterday morning."

Chu Yinan: "..."

......

McDonald's windows are all transparent, and in those prime locations, the land is definitely being used to the maximum extent.

The nearby restaurants are all connected together.

Next to the McDonald's was a tea restaurant where Heinrich and his family drank tea.

Heinrich was initially chatting and drinking tea when he noticed some couples taking photos near the McDonald's, so he glanced at them a little longer.

Upon closer inspection, something interesting was discovered: the girl was none other than Marissa.

Heinrich didn't think he would mistake someone for someone else. Even if someone might look a lot like Marissa, it was Yan Liu who had chosen that outfit for her.

"Didn't this girl go to Yenisetta? Who is that man?"

The tall boy in the suit was someone I had never seen before, but he looked somewhat familiar.

The woman's gaze fell on a small robot, which flew around like a pet, following the two of them closely, and it didn't seem to be controlled remotely.

This is not a machine that you can usually see.

"I'm going to make a phone call. You can sit here for a bit," Heinrich told his tablemate, then got up and moved to the side.

......

Chu Yinan and Marissa had almost finished eating, and it was time to move on to the next stop.

The mall has a basement level where you can browse the shops.

Just then, my phone rang; it was Heinrich calling.

Chu Yinan panicked for a moment, but then calmed down.

Don't panic, there's nothing to panic about.

"Valentina, could you put a voice changer function on my phone? Heinrich is calling."

"Okay, answer the phone." After saying that, the little robot turned its camera and looked in a certain direction.

P.S.: Just letting you all know in advance that there might only be one update today, as I have to take my driving test (Part 3) later.

I haven't been in front of the computer all day, so I got up early and read a chapter.

P.S.: I've been listening to the "Catch the Shrimp" background music on repeat all night.

Chapter 76 Pretending to be Ignorant

Chu Yinan walked into the men's restroom, feeling a bit uneasy for no reason. He answered the phone: "Hey, what's Heinrich doing?"

[Heinrich: Nothing much, have you arrived in Yenisetta yet?]

"Not yet, why are you asking this?" Chu Yinan's unease grew stronger, but he couldn't find the source of this unease.

[Heinrich: I'm wondering if I should go to Yenisetta to see you. Are you with Marissa?]

Heinrich is usually a recluse; it's rare for her to go shopping, visit relatives, or do other such things. Why did she suddenly decide to come to Yenisetta?!

And that's not the key point. For most people, going to Yenisetta is just a dream. Even for Yan Liu and Yu Tang, the AIs will at most make an exception and give them a little more consideration in the AI ​​terminal conversations. It's very difficult for them to enter the AI ​​Tower.

But Heinrich is different; he's an exception. He can go to any AI tower without asking permission, which is similar to Chu Yinan's privilege.

It would be bad if she got to Yenisetta and found that her two older brothers and younger sister were nowhere to be found!

After calmly considering the situation, Chu Yinan confirmed, "Are you ready to go to Yenisetta now?"

[Heinrich: Hmm, almost there. Why is there still music playing over there? The AI ​​Tower shouldn't play music, it's a bit noisy.]

Although Chu Yinan was huddled inside the bathroom, the music playing inside McDonald's still couldn't be stopped from coming in, and the sound of boiling water from the sink outside could also be heard through the microphone.

Chu Yinan somewhat resented the phone's powerful recording function. Worried that continuing the call would expose him, he quickly made an excuse to end the call:

"We sometimes play music to liven things up, but let's stop here for now and chat again when you arrive!"

After saying "See you later" a few times, Chu Yinan hung up the phone, rushed out of the bathroom, washed her hands carefully, and then returned to her seat, grabbed Marissa's hand, and ran off.

"W-What's wrong?!" Marissa was startled by his haste.

"Heinrich is coming to check on us! We have to hurry to Yenisetta!" Chu Yinan answered hastily, not even sure if he had explained himself clearly.

----------

Heinrich, sitting in the tea restaurant, watched the young men and women running hurriedly down the street, which basically confirmed his suspicions.

There's no doubt that this somewhat familiar-looking young man is Chu Yinan.

"Judging from Marissa's reaction, she probably already knew what Chu Yinan was really like, but this kid was still a little guy when he went out... Can he grow bigger or smaller?"

She texted Turing Tower, and from the reply she received, the blonde woman confirmed her suspicions.

Thankfully, she can shrink back to her original size. Otherwise, if the little cub that Yan Liu had raised for so many years had suddenly grown into an adult in appearance, she would probably be very heartbroken.

Heinrich returned to his seat and said to the other blonde woman at the table, "That's all for today. See you again sometime. I'm going to Yenisetta now."

The woman, who bore a striking resemblance to Heinrich, frowned, seemingly slightly displeased. This displeasure ultimately dissipated into a sigh, thanks to Heinrich's nonchalant attitude.

"You asked me to meet you, and after dropping your daughter off at the publishing house, you chatted with me for less than ten minutes, and you were about to leave before you even had a cup of tea?"

Even though she was already familiar with Heinrich's ways, she still got quite annoyed every time she actually interacted with him.

Heinrich nodded matter-of-factly, downed the tea in her cup in one gulp, crossed her arms in front of her, and her proud breasts were lifted up a bit:

"Now it's finished."

"...Aren't you going to invite me to the AI ​​Tower to see what it's like as an apology?"

“No, I don’t plan on. It doesn’t matter which AI tower it is, it’s not my property. They just let me in, they didn’t say I could invite others in.” Heinrich glanced at the time, feeling it was about time. “That’s all for now, I’m leaving.”

Watching Heinrich leave, the woman left in the restaurant frowned and said, "You invited me for tea, so you should have remembered to pay the bill before you left..."

However, Heinrich probably saw the boy and girl running past before he decided to leave.
