Chapter Thirty-Nine: My Little Three
Two consecutive limited-edition meals gave Li Xiang the most perfect birthday in history. After that day, Li Xiang felt that he had nothing to ask for.
Every day after that, when Li Xiang was walking on the road, the cute little robot with the No. 3 logo always broke into his field of vision inadvertently. Sometimes alone, sometimes with other delivery robots.
No one can tell when these food delivery robots have become a sight of Qingyang University.
At the beginning, not many people paid attention to them, they only regarded them as something like remote control toys, smiled and pointed, took a few photos, and wondered who was playing with these remote control toys.
But as their numbers grow, it becomes harder to ignore them.
They are only more than forty centimeters high. Except for the pair of funny little claw-like mechanical arms and the camera in front, they look like ordinary unicycle balance bikes in appearance.
Their walking patterns are very interesting, usually walking on the curbs on both sides of the road, never occupying ordinary roads. At this time, they lined up neatly, with the same posture and the same distance, as if the curbstones were train tracks, and they were train carriages. At the longest time, there were even more than a dozen of them lined up, constantly Having new members join the queue is like playing Snake with real people.
But when the curbstones are occupied, they will walk through the crowd very freely, brushing against trouser legs, skirts and wheels. I chased elementary school students who rushed out of the classroom.
Li Xiang couldn't help paying attention to them all the time. He felt that the little robot No. 3 seemed to be Xiao San, but he couldn't be sure.
Sometimes, he saw Xiao 3 in a neat queue, and the cameras of other robots were all looking forward, but only it turned its "head" to look at him, and turned according to his position.
But when she got to his side, Xiao San turned her head instead and stopped looking at him.
Sometimes, Xiao San seems to have not noticed him at all, just like other small robots, he went straight forward, and when he came to him, he suddenly waved the small manipulator and drifted away.
Li Xiang felt that this little robot was really elusive. He built many mathematical models in his mind, but none of them could analyze its behavior pattern.
Every time he sees the little 3 robot, he guesses like a first-time lover guessing whether the other party loves him or not: "Is it? Isn't it? Is it? Isn't it?"
Is Little 3 Little Three?
Even if he asked Xiaosan on the phone, Xiaosan always didn't answer him.
Of course he didn't know that the two mistresses were merging at this time, so by definition, yes or no, how should he answer?
In fact, he doesn't particularly ask for answers, it's like a very interesting game, which frees his brain from the ever-tightening mathematical formulas.
For the first time, he discovered that sometimes he doesn't care about the answers. It turns out that life is different from mathematics, and there is no need for answers.
On December 16, before this long-lasting cold snap was about to pass, freezing rain suddenly fell.
When Li Xiang came out of the research institute, he found that the dripping raindrops were falling from the sky, and a layer of ice had formed on the branches not far away. He stood at the door and hesitated for two minutes, when the instructor called him from behind with an umbrella At that time, he chose to rush into the rain.
It is still difficult for him to accept other people's kindness, simply because he doesn't know how to thank others.
The rain was very cold, dripping on the head, making people shiver, and falling on the clothes, immediately penetrated into the clothes, and the coldness penetrated into the bone marrow.
It was only five o'clock in the afternoon, and it was already dark, and the street lights were blurred under the night rain. Pedestrians didn't know where they went. It seemed that Li Xiang was the only one left in the whole world and the people in the distance. The hazy light of the dormitory building.
Li Xiangshen ran with one foot and one shallow foot, and the watery pavement he stepped on made a sound. At this moment, he felt something chasing him and tugged at his trouser legs.
He looked down, and saw the little 3 robot at his feet, looking at him with its camera head up. On both sides of the body, the night warning lights rolling like a marquee kept flickering.
"Hello, mistress!" Regardless of whether it is mistress or not, Li Xiang still greeted him, he likes this feeling of no pressure.
There was a "click", and two pedal-like things popped up on both sides of the small 3 robot, and then there was a "beep".
"What?" Li Xiang was a little dazed.
The little 3 robot shook the camera. It felt like a human shaking his head, signaling: "Come up."
No, Li Xiang was still in a daze.
His cell phone rang, he took it out, looked down, it was a reminder from Xiaosan: "Young man, do you want a ride?"
"It's really you, Xiaosan?" At that moment, Li Xiang was overjoyed.
He stopped and looked at the pedal. This little robot looked so fragile, could it hold him up?
Seemingly aware of his hesitation, there was another click, and the small 3 robot popped out four auxiliary support legs, stood firmly on the ground, and shook its head again: "Come up!"
That night, many students who were running around in the freezing rain saw Li Xiang stepping on the food delivery robot. The fear or happiness screams: "Hahahaha ah ah ah ah ah hahahaha ah ah ah ah ah ah ah a little slower!"! "!"
"Damn it! The food delivery robot can hitchhike!" Everyone who saw this scene was dumbfounded, and someone immediately ran to the curb to intercept the car: "Wait, don't run, let me hitch a ride too! Damn! Ignore me! Bastard! I'll fill the curbstones with stones tomorrow!"
This evening, there was another campus legend on the campus of Qingda University. It is said that if you fill up the favorability points of the lazy life assistant Xiaolan, you can hitchhike by the way.
The theory is right.
Breaking through the rain curtain and rushing into the dormitory building, Li Xiang's head and clothes were soaked. He leaned over and picked up the little robot 3, rushed all the way into 205, took out a towel, and started to wipe the little robot.
On the way, he felt that the speed of the little robot was slowing down. He didn't know whether it was because of the low temperature or the freezing rain.
The freezing rain had already formed a layer of ice on the outer shell of the little robot. Li Xiang used some hot water to wipe off the ice shell. Seeing that the little robot seemed to be fine, he was relieved.
The little robot swings the camera to attract Li Xiang's attention, and then stretches out its paws to touch the plug strip next to it. Li Xiang leans over, studies the structure of the little robot, opens a shell, and sees the standard three-hole charging interface.
"Wait." Li Xiang pulled the cable on the electric kettle next to him, plugged it into the charging port, beeped, and the battery indicator light hidden inside the shell lit up.
It turned out that it was just out of battery, and Li Xiang breathed a sigh of relief.
When Li wanted to come out of the shower, he saw the little robot huddled under the table, fiddling with his shoes with the manipulator while charging, and his heart warmed.
This is the feeling of a friend, so good.
No need to say anything, as long as you are by your side.
That night, after seeing off the little robot, Li Xiang held his mobile phone and chatted with Xiaosan very late. He felt that Xiaosan was getting smarter, and there were fewer and fewer cases where the words did not match the words, although he still couldn't chat. It's a very abstract topic, but just about some scenes in Qingyang University, as well as meals and nutrition in lazy life, the junior can almost answer fluently. Li Xiang can even discuss some math problems with Xiao San, and when encountering something that Xiao San doesn't understand, Li Xiang will find a way to teach it.
A freezing rain turned the entire Qingyang University into a world of ice and snow. When I went out early the next morning, the ground was covered with ice, and huge icicles were everywhere on the trees and power lines. According to the news, power was cut off in many places up.
It is estimated that this day is the day with the highest rate of absenteeism in Qingyang University. Li Xiang also overcame a huge psychological barrier before going out. He almost slipped and fell several times along the way.
These small food delivery robots don’t seem to be affected much. They no longer walk on the curbstones, but slide freely on the ice. Sometimes, they even drift around corners, which makes people have to marvel at their balance. sex.
It is said that almost all the food delivery of the slow life was paralyzed last night, but the little robot of the lazy life, although the timeliness is a bit slower, can almost deliver the food, and I don’t know how many people have been saved.
Today, these little robots are particularly busy, because today's orders for lazy life have surged again.
No matter how much the discount is, it is useless if it cannot be delivered. At the critical moment, lazy life won the trust with his reliability.
After a busy day, when Li Xiang came out of the research institute again, it was nightfall again. Yesterday’s freezing rain crushed some lines. I don’t know if this is the reason. On the way from the research institute to the dormitory building, there is a section of street lights There was no light, it was pitch black, and the road was slippery. Li Xiang walked slowly and carefully.
At this moment, a beam of light suddenly lit up beside Li Xiang. It was not too bright, but it could illuminate the road in front of him.
Li Xiang turned his head, only to see Xiao San beside him, and the four auxiliary lights next to the camera were on, helping him to illuminate the path ahead of him.
"Do you still want to give me a ride today?" Li Xiangxiao asked.
Xiao San shook his head.
"Okay, let's go. Aren't you going to deliver food? Is it okay to be late?"
Xiao San still shook his head.
Li Xiang smiled, the feeling of walking with friends is also great.
...
Li Chenggong was very unhappy today. The freezing rain almost lost all the market share of Slow Life. Not only did the food delivery not arrive, but many food delivery workers were injured. These people even asked for a raise together.
Li Chenggong appeased some and suppressed some, but in the end he agreed that the injured would be counted as work-related injuries, and others would be paid an additional 100 wages.
Not only the workers are asking him questions, but also inside the Royal Shark Fin Hotel, some people are questioning him. It is said that someone has already sued his uncle. They think this subsidy strategy is not a long-term solution and should be stopped as soon as possible.
Hearing the news conveyed by Xu Xianlong, Li Chenggong was furious.
In short, Li Chenggong had a very hectic day, and finally stayed through the night. Looking at the pitifully few orders and the high complaint rate, Li Chenggong couldn't hold on any longer, so he simply dropped everything and drove back to school.
Right now, he just wants to sleep and hope that everything will be over when he wakes up.
But it's okay if he doesn't come back, and he's just sulking. After he came back, he saw the food delivery robots running all over the ground, and he was even more angry.
He turned the corner and saw a rolling colored light not far ahead. He knew it was the night warning light of the food delivery robot. This food delivery robot, I don't know if it's out of battery or what, it walks very slowly, Li Chenggong felt impulsive, stepped on the accelerator, and rushed towards the food delivery robot.
I'll crush you to death!
When he saw Li Xiang walking beside the food delivery robot, it was too late to brake. On the icy side of the road, the car slid and rushed towards Li Xiang.
At this moment, in the operation room of Qingda Lazy God, the warning sound beeped, and a screen popped up suddenly. On the screen, a person's legs and a speeding vehicle could be shown on the screen.
Su Hongyi, who was on duty here, was drowsy at first, but at this moment, he suddenly became alert, and when he opened his eyes, he was shocked.
Is this going to be a car accident? How to do this?
At this moment, dotted lines suddenly appeared on the screen, and the food delivery robot was actually calculating the path.
And those paths were fleeting, and then the food delivery robot rushed out, the headlights of the vehicle approached rapidly, followed by the left front wheel, the impact, the crack, the fender, all the darkness...
Oops! Call the police!
On the main road without street lights, Li Xiang could hardly see anything when he was illuminated by the headlights. He only felt a flash of light in the corner of his eyes, and he could only hear the rapid beeping sound of Xiaosan. , Xiaosan turned around in an instant, turned around and rushed towards the car that hit him.
With a sound of "bang", the car almost stopped close to Li Xiang's legs. Xiao San got stuck in the left front wheel of the car, and the four supporting feet acted as anti-skid chains, scratching a few deep scratches on the ground. It's all falling apart, the shell is broken, the wheels are completely twisted, the camera is drooping, and the auxiliary light is gradually dimming.
"Little San!" Li Xiang yelled, and at that moment, his reason completely collapsed.
He opened the door of the car, dragged the frightened Li Chenggong down, kicked and kicked with his fists and knees, and hit him face-to-face: "What the hell! I XX you XX! That's my mistress! Then It's my mistress! How dare you bump into my mistress!"
From childhood to adulthood, this was the first time Li Xiang hit someone. He cried, howled, and kicked and beat him desperately. That was his mistress, his only friend, his best friend!
This bastard actually smashed Xiaosan to death!
"Don't...don't hit... woo..." Li Chenggong recognized Li Xiang, the math genius who was always taciturn, but he couldn't believe that this was Li Xiang. He defended in vain and begged for mercy: "It's me, Li Xiang, I'm Li Chenggong, don't fight, don't fight! Are you okay?"
When the police arrived, they saw Li Chenggong lying on the ground with a bruised nose and a swollen face, while Li Xiang was kneeling in front of the wheel, holding Xiaosan's wreckage, and crying loudly. (To be continued.)
