Chapter 1042 Separation

Zijing returned home. The lights were not on and everything was dark.

What about the A-110?

He didn't hear any sound from the TV, and it was dark. Zijing subconsciously quickened his pace and walked inside, but soon, in the darkness, he vaguely saw a shadow curled up on the sofa.

A-110 still stayed at home obediently and did not go anywhere. When she heard someone coming in, her little body trembled. It was not until Zijing turned on the light that she looked like she was about to cry.

"…Why don't you turn on the lights? And why is the TV off?"

"..."

A-110 shook her head, not knowing anything. She was terrified to be alone in the dark.

Zijing went to check the TV and found that it didn't respond. It was broken. Then she thought about how she didn't tell A-110 how to turn on and off the light. Then she realized how scared the girl must have been during the time she was away. But despite this, she still stayed at home obediently.

"…Sorry, I'm late."

Amethyst couldn't say anything to comfort her, so she could only hug the girl's head gently and prepare a sumptuous dinner for her.

There was no rush in the process of preparing dinner, he even pulled up the A-110 and explained to her every step of his preparation process, which served as a good distraction for the girl and pulled her out of her fear.

"Let's try it."

Seeing that A-110 was trying to imitate her movements, Zijing gave up her position and started teaching the girl new skills for independent living, starting with frying steak.

A-110 was very happy, especially after hearing that her work was appreciated by the boy. She seemed to have completely forgotten the shadow of darkness that had just enveloped her.

Today's dinner was not a combination of Chinese and Western cuisine like lunch, but pure Western cuisine. When the last dish came out of the pot, Zijing took the girl to the sterilizer and taught her what tableware was needed to eat different dishes.

A-110 was choosing between chopsticks and knife and fork like a child playing a puzzle game, and Zijing encouraged her generously when she saw her take out the knife and fork.

Since A-110 only used chopsticks to eat at noon and Zijing cut the steak for her, Zijing also taught her how to use the knife and fork for this dinner.

The girl is very smart. Amethyst only needs to teach her once and she can remember and learn almost any kind of knowledge... Although they are all basic common sense, it does not prevent Amethyst from thinking that she is smart.

A bit like raising a child?

Zijing looked at the girl opposite her, shook her head and laughed. Both of them looked twelve years old, and this combination would definitely look strange to outsiders.

"I'll do the dishes!"

After dinner, the girl volunteered. She learned this term from Zijing. However, Zijing was worried that she would break the dishes, so she followed her and taught her how to adjust the hot water, how to use detergent correctly, and how to hold the dishes so that they would not break easily...

The achievement of "washing dishes" has been achieved. A-110 was very satisfied and took Zijing's hand and sat on the sofa together, no longer as reserved as before.

The girl leaned on Zijing's arm and prepared to watch TV, but then she realized that this magical machine that could display the images could no longer be turned on.

Zijing stood up and skillfully opened the back cover of the TV with tools like a repairman, checking the internal connection wires and circuit boards. As Otto's assistant, he had a lot of knowledge in his brain.

After some inspection, Zijing discovered that the problem with the TV was with the power board, so she replaced it with a spare one, and easily made the black screen appear again.

"That's amazing...can I learn from you?"

Little stars appeared in A-110's eyes.

"This is an advanced course. It's not time for you to learn it yet."

"Oh... then what level am I at now?"

"Pre-school, elementary, intermediate, advanced... Let me think about it, you're almost an elementary advanced now."

"how about you?"

"Above the higher level."

"Amazing!"

"Hey... ahem, just normal."

My liking for this child increased by one. Even when I was watching the beautiful girl animation "Amethyst" with her, I didn't feel so bored anymore.

When it was time to go to bed, they both slept in the bed. It was quite big anyway, and they didn't need much space.

"Don't kick the quilt."

Zijing gave instructions while covering the girl who was lying on her back obediently with a cool thin blanket.

"Ok!"

The A-110 dared not move at all, like a dried squid.

"Don't be nervous, just be natural... Never mind, it's okay to kick the blanket. With your physique, you shouldn't catch a cold easily anyway, right?"

"Oh……"

A-110 finally relaxed, lying on his side and looking at the white-haired boy lying on his back, his big blue eyes seemed to be glowing.

This posture lasted for a long time. Every time Zijing wanted to fall asleep, he couldn't rest easy because of the gazes around him. He turned his head slightly and met A-110's eyes full of curiosity and dependence.

"What's wrong, A-110?" Zijing asked softly. There was a hint of helplessness in his voice at being disturbed, but more of it was gentleness and patience.

"……Thank you."

After dinner, the girl learned more information from Zijing and understood her situation more clearly, so she knew how lucky she was that the first person she saw when she woke up was this young man.

The girl didn't have the slightest suspicion that the boy was lying. After all, a "newborn" would never have any doubts. Moreover, Zijing's care for her was so meticulous that she felt the warmth and security that even some normal people could hardly feel.

"You're welcome."

Faced with the girl's sincere words, Zijing didn't know what to say and could only answer like this.

"Will we always be together?"

A-110 was looking forward to the answer she wanted. She herself did not think that the boy who was so good to her would abandon her and leave.

"…No, we will separate."

Zijing said this after hesitating for a moment.

"…Because I might be killed?"

"Ah."

Zijing did not hide anything from her and explained in detail how to take her away from the floating island.

"...Does that mean we can't meet again?"

"Well, if I can successfully get you out, I will help you get an identity first, so that you can at least be qualified to survive in modern society..."

"Is it just me?"

"Correct."

"Oh……"

A-110 stopped talking. There was a gleam of light in her big blue eyes. She was afraid of being alone, just like before when she could only feel loneliness and fear in the darkness.
