Xie Chengnan sat beside him, having seen everything. At this moment, his seasoned face was burning just as fiercely; he wasn't much more composed than Jiang Yuan.
But reflecting on how he was the one responsible for such a ridiculous scene, the older man felt a lack of confidence. He could only coax his young boyfriend, following his lead. "I'll dismantle him. I'll dismantle him right now."
Young Master Jiang shot him another glare and typed with an expression of utter displeasure.
**Your Little Baby Yuan: You only know how to dismantle Jason when something goes wrong. What use are you!**
Professor Xie didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He knew his boyfriend wasn't truly angry, but rather overwhelmed by shame and annoyance. At a time like this, anything he said would be wrong, yet saying nothing would be an unpardonable sin. He could only play the role of a fence-sitter. "Fine, fine, we won't dismantle him. I'll solve the problem."
The young master curled his lip and finally stopped making a fuss. Seeing that this matter had finally been put to rest, Xie Chengnan brought over the medicine to feed him.
Jiang Yuan’s face soured. These few pills stirred up some rather unpleasant memories.
Last night, Xie Chengnan had actually been very restrained at the start. He likely knew his size exceeded the standard specifications, so he had been cautiously controlling his strength and depth.
That kind of slow, grinding friction had, to some extent, accelerated Jiang Yuan’s adaptation process, but it was limited to that; it could hardly be called comfortable.
The turning point occurred when Xie Chengnan suddenly hit a certain sensitive spot. Jiang Yuan, who had been merely enduring, lost control.
That loss of control was like an unspoken invitation, causing the originally gentle and attentive man to instantly fall into a frenzy. He became a tireless blade that had lost all reason, wanting only to pierce his prey through and through, over and over again.
Amidst the tossing and turning, Jiang Yuan thought he was going to die countless times. His whole being was groggy and muddled; he had no memory of how many times he had been held and taken, nor when it had finally ended.
The consequence of such lack of restraint was that Jiang Yuan was now a wreck. Forget today—he likely wouldn't be able to go to school for the next few days. Not to mention he couldn't even speak right now; even arranging work required sending text messages to his secretary.
The more Jiang Yuan thought about it, the angrier he got. He threw a pillow at the man and picked up his phone to scold him.
**Your Little Baby Yuan: You old brute! You’re not human! If I ever let you in again, I’ll take your surname!**
"Ahem..." Professor Xie gave a dry cough, feeling a bit guilty.
Last night, it wasn't until the very last time ended that he realized his little lover had been driven to a faint. Once his reason returned, the older man looked at the mess before him and the injuries in that hidden place, leaving him with nothing but guilt and self-reproach.
Today, forget his boyfriend throwing a small tantrum—even if the boy wanted to kill him, he would voluntarily stretch out his neck to take the blow.
After his outburst, Jiang Yuan no longer had the energy to be angry. Being in a state of low-grade fever made him drowsy, and since the fever reducers contained sedative components, he soon drifted off into a daze.
Xie Chengnan was about to lie down and sleep with him for a while when Shen Qinian’s call came in. His voice sounded urgent. "Get to the company immediately. Something happened in the lab."
Xie Chengnan frowned and asked in a low voice, "What happened?"
"That robot you sent over the other day." Shen Qinian seemed to catch his breath. "It's running around everywhere, crying out for its 'Papa.' Tell me, where does a robot get a father?! Is there a system malfunction?!"
Xie Chengnan knew the robot he was referring to was the semi-finished product he had spent a fortune on before returning to the country—the one intended to be a companion for Jason.
A few days ago, because the project in the lab finally had a breakthrough, Xie Chengnan had brought it over for testing. He hadn't expected a problem to arise today of all days.
Xie Chengnan looked at the sleeping Jiang Yuan and hesitated. In this state, his boyfriend could barely walk on his own; how could he feel at ease leaving him home alone?
On the other end of the line, Shen Qinian was still rushing him.
Xie Chengnan said, "I'll be there soon," and hung up.
After a moment's thought, he pulled a long coat from the wardrobe, wrapped his sleeping lover in it, and gently carried him to the car.
Jiang Yuan slept deeply. He was quiet the whole way, his breathing very light. It wasn't until they entered the lab that he was woken up by the chaotic scene inside.
The little robot, which was currently evading the crowd trying to catch it, suddenly rushed over when it saw them. In a soft, cute "loli" voice, it wailed: 【Papa! Mama! Help! Waaaaah QAQ】
Professor Xie, who was holding someone: "..."
The newly awakened Jiang Yuan: "..."
The room full of "villains": "..."
Everyone was a bit stunned. Only Professor Xie remained relatively calm. He looked down and asked her, "Freesia?"
The little robot, Freesia, said happily: 【Papa! Freesia finally found you!】
Xie Chengnan nodded, seemingly accepting the fact that he suddenly had a cross-species daughter.
Freesia looked at Jiang Yuan in his arms and asked in confusion: 【Is Mama sick? Let Freesia check for you.】
Jiang Yuan stared at her with wide eyes: "???" What the hell is "Mama"???
Freesia's eyes turned into a beam of light, scanning Jiang Yuan from top to bottom twice. Then she spoke: 【Mama, give me your hand.】
Seeing that Xie Chengnan didn't stop her, Jiang Yuan obediently held out his hand to Freesia.
A needle extended from Freesia's body, pricked his fingertip, and then retracted. She said seriously: 【Blood sample analysis in progress. Body scan results have been sent to Papa's email. Mama, your physical condition isn't very good right now; you need to rest well.】
"Quick, quick." An old professor nearby said excitedly, "Let me see the scan results. Has this robot succeeded before our experimental subjects?"
Xie Chengnan glanced at the email in his inbox, silently put his phone in his pocket, and changed the subject with a calm expression. "Freesia, perform a full body check for Professor Lin."
As expected, the old professor's attention was diverted.
After the check, Freesia inquired: 【Does the physical examination report need to be sent to your email?】
Just as Professor Lin nodded, he heard the little robot say: 【Delivered. Please check your inbox.】
Xie Chengnan explained, "Freesia's permissions are equivalent to Jason's. Since you've used your email in the lab, she can look up your address."
Professor Lin realized this and had his assistant check the email immediately. A group of old professors huddled together to look at the results.
As Professor Lin looked, he became so excited he was almost incoherent. "I just had a physical exam a while ago. Aside from the data that normally fluctuates, the other test results are completely identical!"
The crowd was in an uproar. "Does that mean the medical robot has been successfully developed?"
Xie Chengnan said calmly, "No. Only Freesia is a success; that doesn't mean the medical robot project is a success. My original intention for researching medical robots was the hope that they could be mass-produced and become family doctors that ordinary people could afford. Most of the reason Freesia succeeded is that I invested a significant amount of money into her. She might be replicated, but she can never be popularized."
Freesia's success might have irreplaceable significance in the field of research, but as a company, what they needed to do was find an optimal solution while controlling production costs. Freesia was clearly not that solution.
No matter how curious the old professors were about Freesia, ever since Xie Chengnan and Jiang Yuan arrived, she had stayed by their side, completely ignoring everyone else.
Although Jiang Yuan had just slept, his spirit was still not great. Seeing that there were no other issues in the lab for the time being, Xie Chengnan carried him upstairs to rest.
Jiang Yuan was a bit curious and used his phone to chat with Xie Chengnan.
**Jiang Yuan: Is Freesia named after the flower?**
Xie Chengnan gave an affirmative hum, his voice very gentle. "Do you like it?"
**Jiang Yuan: I like it.**
**Jiang Yuan: Why does she call us Papa and Mama? Did you set it that way?**
Xie Chengnan shook his head. "It's a consciousness she generated herself, likely because of Jason as well."
**Jiang Yuan: What does it have to do with Jason?**
Xie Chengnan explained, "Freesia's data was partitioned from Jason's. Jason likely subconsciously feels that I, who created him, am his father. And since you are my partner, you are naturally the mother."
Although Young Master Jiang really wanted to complain about being treated as a "mother," the word "partner" instantly soothed him. After thinking for a moment, he asked: **Freesia's personality seems different from Jason's.**
Jason was a chatterbox, very clingy, loved excitement, and wasn't shy at all. Freesia was the complete opposite. Although she could act cute, she didn't talk much and wasn't close to anyone other than the two of them. If Xie Chengnan hadn't said so, Jiang Yuan would never have guessed she and Jason shared the same AI program.
Xie Chengnan replied, "I actually asked Jason what kind of new partner he wanted. Freesia is likely the form Jason chose."
Jiang Yuan felt it was a bit strange: **I thought Jason would want a friend he could play and mess around with.**
Xie Chengnan shrugged, indicating that he also found it surprising.
The two of them napped in each other's arms on the bed in the lounge. When they went out, they found Freesia had entered standby mode. No matter how Shen Qinian called her from the side, she ignored him. She really was a cold and aloof little girl.
"Papa! Mama!" Seeing Xie Chengnan carry Jiang Yuan out, the little robot immediately became active.
Shen Qinian felt a bit slighted and patted her. "I'm your Uncle."
Freesia said huffily: 【I'm very expensive! Don't pat my head!】
Freesia wasn't lying about that. Compared to Jason, a domestic robot made almost for fun, the cost Xie Chengnan had invested in her was likely several times higher.
Shen Qinian suddenly felt a bit depressed. "I didn't expect you, of all people, to not only get a partner before me but now you've even got a son and a daughter, a whole family in tow... Should I also find someone to date?"
President Xie, who had inexplicably acquired a son and a daughter, remained noncommittal. He placed his little lover on the sofa and covered him with a blanket, his voice incredibly gentle. "I'll go get you some warm water."
Jiang Yuan showed him his phone: **I want lemonade.**
"Alright, I'll have the secretary prepare it." Xie Chengnan helped him adjust his position. "Is this uncomfortable?"
Jiang Yuan shook his head and curled into the sofa, refusing to move.
Seeing that Jiang Yuan could not only not walk but couldn't even speak, Shen Qinian couldn't help but ask curiously, "What happened? Why is it so serious?"
Xie Chengnan glanced at him without speaking, using his eyes to warn him to shut up.
However, Shen Qinian noticed the faint blue finger marks on Jiang Yuan's ankles and certain ambiguous traces. He finally realized what had happened and clicked his tongue twice. "I didn't expect a guy who looks so gentle like you to be such a beast in bed."
Jiang Yuan was already quite composed about this. He even had the mood to type and snap back at Shen Qinian: **I like it, what's it to you?**
Xie Chengnan couldn't help but chuckle softly, only to be given a fierce glare by the young master.
