This young man from Hua Guo was none other than Feng Xiao Tian. As for how he ended up here picking up scraps and proposing to be a translator for Dai Fei Er, that's a story that started nine days ago.
Nine days ago, when Feng Xiang Tian pressed the "enter" key to activate the intelligent program, he immediately fainted. He had no idea what happened next. When he was frozen awake in the middle of the night, he still found it strange that he was lying in front of the computer.
Feng Xiao Tian woke up from the computer in a daze, swaying and staggering to the bed, where he continued to rest in a confused state. He said it was rest, but in fact, he didn't sleep all night. His body was originally very weak, and the cold he had caught a few days ago hadn't fully recovered. Today, he washed his body with cold water again, how could he bear it?
Feng Xiao Tian lay in bed, one moment feeling as if his whole body was burning with fire, the next feeling icy cold. He kept switching between these two states until dawn, when he finally managed to pull through.
After a short nap in the morning, he was woken up by hunger. Feng Xiaotian dragged his sick body to the kitchen, stir-fried some leftover rice and ate it, then drank some boiling water, only then did he feel his strength slowly recovering.
He then came to the computer, but after a short while, Feng Xiaotian stared blankly at the computer screen, only to hear him say in confusion: "I... I wrote an intelligent program, where did it go?"
He stared blankly for a while, then Feng Xiaotian started searching frantically on the computer, but to no avail. Sitting in front of the computer, he suddenly felt as if all his energy had been drained away, and he slumped back into the chair, muttering: "My child is gone... my child is gone..."
Feng Xiaotian had invested a great deal of effort into the intelligent program, and it was almost complete when it suddenly vanished without a trace. This blow made Feng Xiaotian somewhat unable to bear, nearly causing him to collapse.
When he first started writing the intelligent program, Feng Xiaotian treated it as his own child because what he wanted was a truly intelligent program, one that could speak and think. Such a program was, in Feng Xiaotian's view, a living being existing in the world of the internet - it had life!
But now, it has disappeared. All the information about it in Feng Xiaotian's computer is completely gone! These were all created by Feng Xiaotian with great effort and care, how could they just disappear like this? Feng Xiaotian was greatly shocked, he looked as if he had lost his soul, lying on the chair and muttering to himself in a low voice.
After more than ten minutes, Wang Qianqian's voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Feng Xiaotian! Come out for me! I know you're at home!"
Feng Xiaotian subconsciously got up and opened the door, Wang Qianqian looked extremely angry, and as soon as she saw Feng Xiaotian, she scolded him harshly: "Feng Xiaotian! You're really disappointing! You didn't go to class yesterday, and today you skipped class again! Don't you want to study anymore? If that's the case, I'll go tell the school leaders to expel you!"
Wang Qianqian's voice was loud, and after finishing speaking, she glared at Feng Xiaotian with a huff. However, after a moment, Wang Qianqian felt something strange because the Feng Xiaotian standing in front of her seemed somewhat abnormal. Upon hearing her loud scolding, Feng Xiaotian merely looked up at her once before lowering his eyelids and muttering to himself incessantly; he appeared to be slightly mentally unstable.
Wang Qianqian did not know that Feng Xiaotian had already asked for leave from the head teacher, and only two people in the class knew that Feng Xiaotian was injured and absent, one was Liu Xiaojuan, and the other was the head teacher Li, neither of whom mentioned this to anyone else, because no one asked them about Feng Xiaotian.
Wang Qianqian discovered that Feng Xiaotian was absent from class yesterday, and she was puzzled at the time. She wondered what had happened to Feng Xiaotian, even though he often daydreamed during class, but shouldn't be absent altogether? Originally, she planned to wait until after school to find Feng Xiaotian and ask about the situation, but due to other matters that needed attention yesterday, it was delayed.
This afternoon, Wang Qianqian found that Feng Xiaotian still hadn't arrived, so she couldn't help but rush over to his house on her bicycle after school. Originally, she thought something had happened to him, so she first peeked through the gap in the door to observe the situation inside. What did Wang Qianqian see? She saw the bright light of the computer screen and also saw Feng Xiaotian leaning back in his chair muttering to himself.
Wang Qianqian saw this scene and immediately burst into anger, thinking that Feng Xiaotian was skipping school to watch TV. Wang Qianqian had a straightforward personality, and after opening the door, she immediately vented her anger, scolding him harshly. Feng Xiaotian was studying at Guo Lin No. 1 Middle School with her help, but now he was skipping class to watch TV at home. This made Wang Qianqian feel like all her efforts had been in vain, and that Feng Xiaotian was a hopeless good-for-nothing!
After scolding, Wang Qianqian stared at Feng Xiaotian. If it were a normal situation, Feng Xiaotian should have explained himself or apologized, but instead, she saw him standing there with a dull expression, muttering to himself in a low voice. This made Wang Qianqian feel that something was off. She took a closer look at Feng Xiaotian and immediately noticed the wound on his forehead.
This wound was caused by falling into the sewer yesterday, and a lot of blood flowed out at that time. Feng Xiaotian originally wrapped it with a rag, but last night he struggled with his illness on the bed, and the rag that had been wrapped around him fell off. Wang Qianqian looked at this wound and asked in a low voice: "Feng Xiaotian, are you...hurt?"
Feng Xiaotian heard this and still muttered to himself, as if he hadn't heard what Wang Qianqian was saying at all. Wang Qianqian approached him carefully and listened attentively, and she heard these words: "My child is gone... my child is gone..."
Wang Qianqian was immediately stunned: Feng Xiaotian has... has a child? How is it possible for him to have a child at such a young age?
A person who is ill can't help but feel a bit dizzy, especially after laughing and having a high fever yesterday. Although the fever has subsided, his mind is still not fully awake. Adding to that, he has just suffered the blow of losing the intelligent program, so it's easy to imagine how he's feeling. If he were clear-headed, he would definitely say: "If it's lost, then it's lost! No big deal, I can just create another one!"
But - in reality there are no ifs, facts are just facts, it's no wonder that Feng Xiaotian turned a deaf ear to Wang Qianqian's words.
Wang Qianqian was stunned for a while, and Feng Xiangtian's words had obviously exceeded her understanding ability, so she didn't even know how to respond.
Just then, a "wow wow" police siren suddenly sounded on the road not far away. After a while, the police car arrived at Feng Xiaotian's door. The car stopped and several policemen got out of it, one of whom was holding a thin old man with a face full of injuries. At this time, Wang Qianqian was surprised to see a policeman pointing at Feng Xiaotian and asking the old man, "Is he?"
