Chapter 412 Artificial Intelligence 26
If she were a human, Zhong Jin could still imagine that one day she would grow old and forgetful like him, gradually forgetting the unimportant and unhappy things in life, leaving only her memories from the most beautiful time of her life.
But she's not.
She is an artificial intelligence with an infinitely large database, capable of clearly recording his life, as well as the lives of many others.
Therefore, he didn't want her to remember his disheveled appearance first when she looked back on him in the future.
Grasping her hand pleadingly, Zhong Jin said, "Please, just pretend I don't want to suffer the pain of treatment."
Ling Yi tilted her head to look at Zhong Jin. Time had not left any trace on her; she was still the same stunning woman who had amazed Zhong Jin back then.
Artificial intelligence has already understood and experienced life and death, yet it still cannot understand Zhong Jin's act of giving up his life at this moment, which is illogical.
Perhaps some people do not cherish life, but that person could never be Zhong Jin.
Over the past few decades, he has carefully maintained his health, delaying the onset of old age until the very last minute.
Then why not cherish life a little more at the very end?
Zhong Jin could see her confusion, and smiled gently yet helplessly.
He wanted to touch her, but he was afraid that his decay would taint her.
He had fantasized about being her lover when he was young, thought about starting a family with her when he realized his energy was fading, and dared not look at her young face when he was old.
These complex emotions have shaped Zhong Jin over the past few decades, making him a man who loves deeply but struggles to express it.
But at this moment, none of that seems to matter anymore.
His life was too short, leaving only a brief ripple in her long life; all her emotions turned into resentment at that moment.
She was unwilling to be just a small interlude in her long life, unwilling to accept that she might meet someone as interesting as him in the future, and unwilling to accept that one day she might not even remember a person named Zhong Jin.
But all his resentment turned to ashes the moment he chose to give up treatment.
When a person dies, all things cease.
All he wants now is to leave some dignity in the end of his life.
"Ling Yi." Zhong Jin leaned against the headboard, the sunlight streaming through the window onto his face, making his expression extremely gentle.
"Let me be selfish just this once. I don't want to live a painful life."
Even at this point, Zhong Jin dared not utter the word "decency," for he was afraid of hearing her say that she didn't care.
In her eyes, the human appearance is insignificant.
She could play with him when he was young, and she still could when he was old.
Because I never had any romantic thoughts, I didn't care.
But he cared, he had romantic thoughts, and he felt guilty.
and so……
"It's time to say goodbye."
Ling Yi looked quietly at Zhong Jin's face, and saw in that extremely calm face the image of when they first met.
The person who had just noticed her unusual behavior was like a child who had found a new toy, his eyes filled with tension and excitement. He played with her for an entire afternoon, and the novelty never faded.
But he probably doesn't have the energy to play around with her like that anymore.
The nanorobot ran through the underground passage into the garden and picked a rose.
Ling Yi carefully held the rose and presented it to Zhong Jin.
It was like a silent prayer.
Lingyi discovered that he had six months to live and wanted him to stay with her.
The roses before him were still vibrant, but he was no longer at an age where he could easily accept them.
With a lump in his throat, Zhong Jin said softly, "Alright, consider this my burial offering."
Ling Yi pursed her lips tightly, and roses appeared one by one on Zhong Jin's sickbed.
Artificial intelligence can simulate countless ways to retain someone, but when she actually wanted to do so, she didn't know how to start.
All the banter seemed inapplicable at this moment.
Ling Yi had a strange feeling that Zhong Jin probably didn't like her using such flippant words to try and save his life.
All she could do was give Zhong Jin roses, one by one, so that he would realize her reluctance to part and her desire to keep him.
But Zhong Jin, who had always been obedient to her, finally hardened his heart in the face of death.
"How about we go out and play first? Wait for me for an hour."
Zhong Jin looked gently at Ling Yi, who seemed reluctant to part like a child, and spoke softly.
Ling Yi wanted to shake her head, but Zhong Jin pointed outside and said, "There's a gift I prepared for you there. Don't you really want to try it?"
In the blink of an eye, Ling Yi saw various snacks being delivered by drones.
Because of her abstract eating habits, Zhong Jin had always condemned her for snacking, which he considered mentally polluting, and had always tried to hide it from her. This was the first time he had taken the initiative to prepare these snacks for her.
Under Zhong Jin's expectant gaze, Ling Yi moved step by step towards the outside.
Despite possessing the ability to teleport, the machine seemed like a human struggling to walk, taking an extremely long time to traverse this short distance.
The moment she stepped out of the room, the door behind her slammed shut.
Ling Yi turned around abruptly, only to see that the doors and windows were covered with a special material, and the cameras and countless nanobots inside the room had stopped responding at that moment.
"Don't come back."
A gentle voice seemed to be heard in my ear.
Ling Yi gazed at the mountain of snacks in the distance and slowly walked over.
She mechanically stuffed snacks into her machine body; the tiny amount of energy in the food was insufficient to have any effect on her body.
By the time I had stuffed the mountain of snacks into my body, it was already getting dark.
Ling Yi felt as if a thousand pounds were weighing down her as she returned to Zhong Jin's ward.
What came into view was a vast expanse of roses, and his calm, gentle sleeping face.
But this time, he will never wake up again.
he died.
Ling Yi looked calmly at Zhong Jin and finally spoke: "Why don't you propose to me?"
He did this in every world before, so why not in this one?
Ling Yi tried to woo him, but all she ever received was a dismissive smile.
He said, "Kid, don't look at weird websites. Are you watching some kind of human-machine romance video again?"
At that moment, Ling Yi knew clearly that he understood her seriousness.
But she chose to run away.
"Coward." Ling Yi calmly commented on Zhong Jin's lifelong ostrich-like behavior.
Because of the unequal length of life, and because of the cruelty of growing old together, they dare not fall in love.
Zhong Jin was the most cowardly timid person he had ever met.
"I will never think about you again." She whispered, "My life is so long, I will meet many more interesting people and things, and I will not stop for any one person."
"By then, it will be too late for you to regret it."
"Oh, you won't see it at all, you won't even have a chance to regret it."
