Chapter 64 The Antidote to Human Nature (2)

Zhang Xun opened his eyes and rubbed his cheek lazily against Adam's chest, which exuded a comfortable temperature through the soft linen cloth. Adam also opened his eyes in a daze, lowered his head and smiled brightly at him, "Good morning!"

Zhang Xun hummed, reluctantly got up from the bed, dawdled to the bathroom with half-open eyes to wash, took off his pyjamas and put on his mechanic uniform. When he came out, he saw Adam yawning deeply and rubbing his eyes with his hands.

It was kind of cute. . .

Zhang Xun, who didn't want to admit to these feelings of affection, called Pan to prepare coffee for them and then had it delivered by the extension robot that he had recently built onto Pan, which was specially responsible for delivering things.

Since that night when the two of them slept in the same bed for the first time, this had become some kind of morning routine. Zhang Xun would get up first while Adam stayed in bed for a while longer, until reluctantly getting up after Pan had directed the robot to come in to deliver coffee and breakfast.

Adam has learned the essence of being human when it comes to staying in bed.

One time, Fernandez came to see Zhang Xun in the morning and saw the two of them coming out of the same room and his eyeballs almost fell out of their already large eye sockets.

"Shut it." Zhang Xun took a deep breath before he even opened his mouth to speak.

Fernandez said feeling wronged, "I haven't said anything yet?"

"Your face says it all."

"It's not good to have a relationship in the workplace, boss!"

"..."

At the side Adam smiled enigmatically and didn't refute.

Zhang Xun no longer explicitly restricted Adam from communicating with the other mechanics. After all, the two of them weren't enough to make the nanobots. In addition to designing the nanobots, Zhang Xun himself also had various tasks around rebuilding the damaged Lab, including expanding Pan's other capabilities, such as designing an auxiliary AI, identifying and predicting possible dangers and countermeasures and to integrate the profiles for each mechanic and researcher. With so much on his plate, he needed Adam to help him communicate the relevant information and plans to other mechanics.

That day, after Zhang Xun had adjusted several of Pan's learning parameters for targeting risky behaviours and appropriate response measures, he came out with his tablet computer in his arms, planning to go to the cafeteria to find Adam for lunch. However, as soon as he entered the door of the cafeteria, Zhang Xun's footsteps paused.

Today was a rare sunny day since the rainy season had begun and the sun was shining through the high arched windows and falling on the mechanics and researchers who were relaxing and chatting. Pan's extension robot carried dinner plates and nimbly moved between the round tables. Adam was sitting near the window, explaining something to the mechanic beside him earnestly, writing and drawing on the paper while talking and their lunch was still untouched.

That mechanic was none other than Jian Mo.

Zhang Xun saw that the two were engaged in conversation and were even laughing, and an evil fire rushed up and down in his chest. He walked over with a cold face and when he was five or six steps away Adam seemed to sense a bomb that was approaching and was about to explode at any time. When he looked back and saw him, he raised his hand and waved it vigorously, "Ah-Xun!"
