The two switched positions, with Lingwu lowering his head, his thin lips almost touching her slightly parted ones.
Many techniques for pleasing others surfaced in his memory, and his movements instinctively became tender and gentle.
Wan Tong suddenly recalled the scene from not long ago when he secretly kissed her. He had his own desires and thoughts, but he also knew how to hide and restrain them.
A drop of hot sweat rolled down from Ling Wu’s forehead, slid down his high nose, and dripped from the tip.
Wan Tong froze for a moment. He could still sweat?
It was only for an instant, and then her mind went blank again. In a split second, dazzling fireworks exploded in her mind. The main function could still be used…
The most remarkable thing about this function was probably how understanding it was.
Even the next day, whenever she thought about it, her scalp would tingle, and her breath would quicken. But as soon as she saw Ling Wu, who was dressed neatly and focused as always, she silently ground her teeth. He was fine, and after their intimate moments, he would go to the lab and lock himself in for seclusion. Didn’t he miss her?
Sensing her gaze, Ling Wu approached her, as he always did, holding her to help her wash up, then removing the marks on her body.
After that, Wan Tong no longer felt weak or sore. She felt like she could fight for several more rounds…
When Ling Wu went to get her clothes to change her, she suddenly grabbed the collar of his shirt, tilted her chin, and said, “Ling Wu, take off your clothes. I want more.”
She was originally just venting some minor emotions, but Ling Wu didn’t hesitate and started unbuttoning his shirt, whispering softly in her ear, “Although the marks are gone, you’re still weak. You can only go once, okay?”
“…” Wan Tong pushed him away, glaring at him, her words sharp, “I won’t.”
Ling Wu stared at her for a moment, as if understanding something, then said, “Tongtong is angry?”
“…”
“Tongtong doesn’t want me to leave?”
“…”
Although Wan Tong remained silent, her eyes were misty, and after he asked, she turned her head away.
After all, after what had just happened, she was a bit sensitive, and every time he went to the lab, she couldn’t reach him for a long time.
“Then I won’t leave,” Ling Wu said, holding her hand and placing it on his chest.
His shirt had already been torn off, and her palm was directly on his heart.
There, she could feel the heartbeat.
In a way, Ling Wu could already be considered half human.
“You can go to the lab, but you must stay in touch with me,” Wan Tong looked up at him and spoke softly.
Ling Wu pursed his lips and nodded, “Okay, I’ll remember.”
Only when he was modifying his own body would he disconnect from her.
After leaving the room, Shen Ting took Ling Wu away, and Shen Yu stayed, his body blocking Wan Tong’s path, his face darkened.
Shen Yu’s appearance had become more rugged, his beard grown out and untended, his eyes fierce, looking even more intimidating.
Wan Tong took a hesitant step back. “Eldest Brother? Did you need something?”
“Supreme Leader, there was a lot of noise in your room last night,” Shen Yu said directly.
People nowadays were blunt, and Shen Yu’s upbringing was special, so he had no shame in saying this.
Wan Tong, the person in question, felt guilty. She was no longer the little darling of the family; now, Ling Wu was. Everyone felt he shouldn’t be labeled as a companion robot, as it was an insult to him.
She had promised before that she wouldn’t activate Ling Wu’s main function.
“Eldest Brother, at my age, I also have needs…” Wan Tong spoke weakly.
Shen Yu’s expression turned serious, “Ling Wu doesn’t want to be treated like a robot.”
He shouldn’t be treated as a companion robot; his abilities and expertise had reached the peak of human potential.
“…I didn’t treat him like a robot,” Wan Tong retorted.
“Then why did you act like that toward him?” Shen Yu frowned, “Next time, don’t activate his main function.”
Aside from Wan Tong, probably no one knew that Ling Wu’s current body was no longer influenced by her as his little master, and his main function couldn’t just be activated by her.
“I’m sorry, I won’t do it again,” Wan Tong could only honestly repent.
Seeing her pitiful look, Shen Yu was silent for a moment before stiffly extending his hand, mimicking Shen Ting’s usual actions, patting her head as if comforting her. “In a few days, I’ll find a few men for you. If you need them, just let me know.”
They had already started looking for men for her, but so far, none were up to standards. He said this just to make sure she wouldn’t act on her physical needs with Ling Wu. After all, in his mind, Ling Wu was always a dangerous item, one that could erupt at any moment.
*Poof… cough cough…* Wan Tong thought she must be hallucinating.
She wasn’t so desperate, was she?
Elsewhere, Shen Ting looked at Ling Wu with a complex expression, “Last night, it was 034 who was on watch. She said Tongtong bullied you.”
Ling Wu blinked and shook his head, “No.”
Shen Ting was somewhat moved. Even at this point, Ling Wu was still defending his sister. He patted Ling Wu’s shoulder and continued, “Don’t worry, Eldest Brother is teaching her a lesson. I’ll make sure it won’t happen again.”
Hearing Shen Ting’s words, Lingwu quickly turned around and walked back.
Shen Ting was momentarily stunned, then quickly followed, saying, “Ling Wu, listen to me, don’t get angry yet. My sister is already at that age; she might have just lost control for a moment. It wasn’t intentional…”
After Ling Wu awakened his consciousness, they noticed that he had been trying to adapt and learn human ways of life. But the more successful he became, the more people mocked him and insulted him for being a ‘companion robot,’ and they always felt bad for him.
Who would have thought that Little Sister’s beastly instincts would erupt, and she…
As a man, Shen Ting felt that Ling Wu’s self-esteem would definitely be hurt.
So, early that morning, he came to comfort him.
Ling Wu didn’t listen to Shen Ting’s rambling, but he understood what was going on.
When they reached the door to the room, they just happened to overhear what Shen Yu had said, and Ling Wu’s mouth immediately turned down, as if a cold air had descended, quickly moving to stand beside the two of them.
“Tongtong doesn’t need anyone else.”
His voice carried a hint of urgency and hoarseness unlike usual.
Shen Yu’s eyes flickered, and when he looked at Shen Ting, there was a deep, probing gaze.
Ling Wu had always been protective of his master and knew his place. It was rare to see him act like this today.
The possessiveness in his tone was something any man could detect.
Perhaps, they had been wrong from the start. It wasn’t his sister who coveted Ling Wu, but Ling Wu who had seduced her?
After all, Ling Wu was no longer just a robot. He could think like a human. Perhaps he even had things he wanted. What if he had fallen in love with their sister?
Love.
This was something Shen Yu had never understood, and for a moment, his eyes became somewhat confused.
After all these years in the park, sometimes he felt that he resembled a robot more than Ling Wu did.
Shen Ting walked up beside him, and Wan Tong held Ling Wu’s hand, speaking seriously to her two brothers, “Eldest Brother, Second Brother, you don’t need to worry about me and Ling Wu. We’re going to be together forever.”
Shen Yu’s expression remained unchanged, but Shen Ting was stunned, his gaze filled with uncertainty. “Tongtong, what do you mean by that?”
“I mean, no other man is better than Ling Wu. Don’t find anyone else for me.” Wan Tong spoke plainly.
Ling Wu was clearly processing her words, gripping her hand in return, the heat radiating from it so intensely that she could feel it through the sweat on her skin.
After a long while, Shen Ting finally reacted, “Wait, Tongtong, are you confessing?? That’s awesome!”
His sister was awesome! She had fallen for a robot!
Since Wan Tong had been saved by Ling Wu, Shen Ting held no prejudice against him, even feeling somewhat happy that his sister and Ling Wu would stay with the Shen family.
Wan Tong : “…”
Second Brother was definitely not normal.
But regardless, Wan Tong had made up her mind after today.
After sending off the two brothers, Wan Tong was wrapped in Ling Wu’s embrace.
“Tongtong, I’m serious.” Whatever others could give her, he could give her too.
“Mmm,” Wan Tong responded, resting her face on his chest.
Wan Tong had originally thought to give up the position of leader early, but the public’s trust in her and her team only grew. As a result, she continued to hold the title.
She always postponed her marriage due to her busy schedule. Eventually, everyone felt regretful but stopped pressuring her.
The most beautiful and lovable Supreme Leader seemed like no one was good enough for her.
Occasionally, when the public saw Ling Wu standing beside her like a guardian angel, they almost forgot he was just a robot with awakened consciousness. They even felt that with his protection and loyalty, the Supreme Leader had enough.
Due to various environmental factors in this era, human lifespans weren’t long, especially for natural-born females. Wan Tong’s greatest fear when she left this world was leaving Ling Wu behind.
In the world she had experienced before, the boss all had finite lifespans, but robots didn’t have a lifespan. They would continue to exist, in a world without her.
But, for some reason, he saw her as his entire world.
Without her, what would he do?
That night, Ling Wu cautiously made a request to Wan Tong. “Tongtong, I’ll create a body for you so that you can stay with me forever. Would you do that?”
Wan Tong’s first reaction was to refuse.
She knew that Ling Wu had been obsessively studying the technology that could transplant a human brain into a robot’s body, and now he was confident he could do it. He had even created a perfect body for her.
But she was destined to leave this world.
Ling Wu stood there frozen, fists tightly clenched, and then, as usual, he softly responded, “Mm, if Tongtong doesn’t want to, then forget it.”
Wan Tong hugged him tightly, tears flowing.
The world she had once walked through had become a blur, and her feelings were stripped away. She had forgotten how many times she had left one familiar world after another.
But in this moment, she was filled with immense pain and reluctance.
After Wan Tong left, she took the initiative to learn about the world’s developments through Shishi.
The new Supreme Leader was Shen Yu.
When he found Ling Wu, Ling Wu was holding her lifeless body and was completely unresponsive. Ling Wu’s energy had been depleted.
Shen Yu sent Lingwu to Ladbrokes Technology for a power replacement, but they encountered technical issues.
Ling Wu was no longer a robot; his physical structure was something only he truly understood. Yet, he had given up what could have been an eternal life.
Later, after an examination, people discovered that he might have released the energy within his body, which led to the depletion of his energy and ultimately his death.
Once the news was released, the whole world was filled with sorrow, but they marveled at Ling Wu’s loyalty to Wan Tong.
No one knew that Ling Wu and Wan Tong had truly been in love, living as human beings in the most authentic way possible.
Shishi saw Wan Tong’s melancholic expression and comforted her, “It’ll be fine in the next world.”
Wan Tong, suspicious, asked, “Shishi, are all the boss the same person?”
At this moment, she remembered her task. Her mission in each world was always the same, with the same target. Could it be that the boss were similar to her, all part of the same soul?
Shishi couldn’t answer.
“Then get ou and upgrade yourself.”
“……”
After that, Wan Tong fell silent.
rokumi’s note : there’s a little bit more to Chapter 172, but because it’s a new world, and it’s too little to make a separate part, I’m putting it in Chapter 173.
