Chapter 675: Chapter 673: So_1

"What a pleasant surprise! Seeing you just makes my heart and soul rejoice; the weariness from work vanishes in an instant, and even the air I breathe at this moment is fragrant," Lu Tingli couldn’t help but spread his arms to embrace her, showering her with sweet nothings.

Xia Ningxing almost laughed herself into stitches.

But it was undeniable that being flattered felt really good!

No wonder Lu Tingli went from his initial aloofness to gradually being conquered by her flattery.

If she’d had someone to butter her up like this since childhood, she probably wouldn’t have been able to help falling for them.

Then, Lu Tingli leaned in to whisper in her ear, "Are you hungry?"

His gaze lowered, the pupils of his obsidian-like eyes had room only for her.

Alright, now even his son was being ignored.

Chuanchuan couldn’t help exchanging a silent look with Jiang Miaomiao, standing quietly to the side like props, waiting for the lovey-dovey couple to finish their display of affection.

"Of course I’m hungry, I came to find you with our son so we could have lunch together. Let go of me, let’s go eat," Xia Ningxing gently pushed him away, taking his broad, warm hand and walking outside.

"You two, hurry up and follow along!" Xia Ningxing didn’t forget to look out for Jiang Miaomiao and Chuanchuan.

After arriving at the restaurant, Xia Ningxing briefly told him about Jiang Miaomiao’s situation.

Lu Tingli pondered for a moment, then extended his hand, "Where’s the chip? I can try, but I can’t guarantee success."

In this era, it wasn’t simple to repair a robot since technology hadn’t advanced to that extent yet.

So, he had to lay out the worst-case scenario first.

"No problem, I understand, where is anything certain," Jiang Miaomiao quickly shook her head and passed the chip to him, "Thank you, Mr. Lu. By the way, how much will it cost to fix it?"

While asking, Jiang Miaomiao seemed lack confidence, her embarrassment and nervousness evident as she constantly fidgeted with the hem of her clothes, crumpling it.

Anyone with eyes could tell she didn’t have much money.

Xia Ningxing promptly kicked Lu Tingli under the table, signaling him not to charge too much.

After a glance at his wife, Lu Tingli said to Jiang Miaomiao, "I can fix it for free, but I have one condition – let me study this chip."

Xia Ningxing had just informed him that the robot Jiang Miaomiao’s father had developed was extremely intelligent, almost human-like.

Even in a more technologically advanced future, humans couldn’t create robots with such intelligence.

Let alone now, so he was very curious.

Jiang Miaomiao didn’t expect such good fortune and felt overjoyed, but she quickly composed herself, "Can you promise not to damage it?"

She asked.

If he couldn’t guarantee that, she wouldn’t let him fix the robot, even if it was free.

"Of course," Lu Tingli nodded.

Jiang Miaomiao trusted him and immediately let go of her concerns, "Then I agree!"

"It’s a pleasure doing business with you. I’ll have my secretary draft a contract now, and then we’ll both sign it," Lu Tingli said and made a call to arrange it.

He always kept personal and professional matters separate, so even if the other party was a friend of Xia Ningxing, he preferred to go through official procedures to avoid disputes later.

After they finished lunch, the secretary brought the contract over.

Jiang Miaomiao flipped through and, seeing no issues, signed her name right away.

"Mr. Lu, how long do you think the repair will take?" After signing, Jiang Miaomiao couldn’t wait to ask.

Forgive her eagerness; she missed her robot so much!

Lu Tingli pondered for a moment, and after a while, he provided an estimate, "Probably about a year or so."

Although all that was needed was to create a robot shell, input some data, and finally insert the chip, the technology of the era was too backward, which meant it would require a lot of time.

Jiang Miaomiao, however, didn’t see it that way, "It’s a lot earlier than I expected, I thought it would take several years."

It had taken her father decades to develop the chip, and then another dozen or so years to barely craft a crude robot shell for it.

So when she heard it could be completed within a year, the surprise in Jiang Miaomiao’s heart was beyond words.

"Thank you, Mr. Lu." Jiang Miaomiao stood up and thanked Lu Tingli formally.

"No need to be so polite," Lu Tingli responded.

"After a year, our movie ’Desert Island Adventure’ should be almost ready to premiere. If the repair is successful, Miaomiao, then you can have your robot accompany you to watch the premiere," Xia Ningxing added.

"Yes!" Jiang Miaomiao nodded eagerly, her face filled with anticipation.

Watching a movie with the person you like, and it’s even the one you starred in, how romantic!

A year isn’t too long, but it’s not too short either.

Day by day, Jiang Miaomiao anxiously awaited, and finally, by the end of the following year, she was reunited with her robot.

Lu Tingli had not only repaired him but had also covered his metallic body with lifelike synthetic skin, making both the touch and the temperature almost indistinguishable from that of humans.

One could say that if it weren’t known he was a robot, he would certainly be mistaken for a human.

And he even had a waterproof, anti-electricity, and lightning-proof system.

As for his face, it was designed according to Jiang Miaomiao’s specifications, created with a computer synthesis, ensuring he was one of a kind.

The height was also set to match that of an average man.

"Let’s go, let’s leave her alone here." That day, Xia Ningxing and Lu Tingli were both in the lab.

At that moment, she gave Lu Tingli a look and left the lab with him, leaving the space to Jiang Miaomiao and her robot.

The lab was still and silent.

Jiang Miaomiao lifted her gaze to the man lying on the mechanical bed, her eyes quickly reddening as tears almost instantly welled up.

Her heart throbbed violently, as if it might leap out of her chest at any moment.

Excited and eager.

She wiped away her tears, walking towards him, her legs moving with an urgency that couldn’t be restrained. But when her hand was about to press his switch, she hesitated.

Instead, she pinched her own leg first.

In the middle of the night, she had dreamed of this moment countless times, pushing the switch and then watching him open his eyes and smile at her.

As she eagerly awaited his return, only for him to vanish before her eyes, reality cruelly slapped her in the face, mocking her for entertaining such daydreams!

But now!

Ouch!

It hurt!

This wasn’t a dream!

This time, just by pressing the switch, he could truly return to her side!

Jiang Miaomiao’s face showed a mix of pain and joy. After calming her emotions, she no longer hesitated, extending her hand and forcefully pressing the switch on his body.

Bang!

Pressed!
