"You are you." Deng Huailing raised his sleeves, patiently wiped Rosie's cheeks clean, and wiped away the tears from his eyes, "There is never another person."

"I want to hear the truth." Luoxi held the other person's hand stubbornly, "Did you see me as Rosie? Or, did you ever confuse me with him?"

Deng Huailing frowned slightly puzzled: "This is the truth. As for confusion... it's inevitable. I can distinguish the subtle differences between the two states, but I don't pay attention all the time. In my eyesRosie is just another form of your existence, no different from your original personality."

"It's different, very different." Luo Xi lowered his eyes, "Maybe you see it in your eyes, but you don't think it in your heart. You told me in the garden that you only like this one and Rosie's."The same body, but loathes my soul."

"Did I say such a thing?" Deng Huailing was taken aback, and nervously retrieved the scene of that night in his memory.It is true that he is a vengeful person, but he will not remember the angry words of his lovers when they quarreled.Turning over old scores will only lead to endless hatred, and he will never make Rosie his enemy, so the quarrels are forgotten quickly.

Like now, it's hard for him to remember what Rosie sneered at when she dumped him, and it's hard to believe that he said such a goddamn thing.

But he will not shamelessly deny it. Deng Huailing thought for a while, and finally recalled the situation in the garden: "It was all angry words. At that time I... I saw Simmons dancing with you in his arms, and then youCome out and stop Su Qing, and fight me without any reason, I am going crazy with jealousy, it is my fault that I said that to provoke you."

Rosie was confused: "But I didn't see how jealous you were, you just told me calmly that you have nothing to do with me."

"No, I was mad at that time." Deng Huailing smiled self-deprecatingly, as if feeling embarrassed, buried her head in Rosie's neck, and kissed his neck, "While dancing with Su Qing, I was thinkingYes, I should have been hugging you on the dance floor. No one can be more careful than me, Rosie, and if you see that I don't care about you one day, it will be fake."

Rosie was sad and funny, her nose was sore, and she hugged Deng Huailing even tighter.If Deng Huailing could tell him these thoughts at that time—no, he can't let the other party chase his pace all the time, he should also stop, turn around, and tell the other party what he thinks.

He heard Deng Huailing apologize again, "I'm sorry, I said angry words to you, but that was really not my intention. I shouldn't speculate that you and Simmons made a bed deal. I should have believed it more.Your lover is a person of noble character, you can't do that kind of thing."

"You... already know the truth?" Rosie was a little taken aback. He suddenly remembered that he hadn't explained the misunderstanding to Deng Huailing, and the misunderstanding disappeared by itself. "When did you know?"

"McGill Bar, you told me that Simmons exchanged a dance with the clue of the brain lock." Deng Huailing said.

"So...huh?" Rosie was stunned for a moment, "I can't figure it out, why did this sentence reveal that I was lying?"

"If you understand, you are now an A+ hunter." Deng Huailing said with a smile, playing with the opponent's long hair in circles with his fingers.Rosie's hair feels silky and tangling, and somehow it has been left until it reaches the length of the butterfly bone, but it modifies the proud temperament to be natural and gentle.

Rosie let him play, lowered his head and pondered something, Deng Huailing thought that the other party was thinking about the mechanism in that sentence, but Rosie suddenly raised his eyes and looked at him, his eyes were soaked with orange red lights, and said guiltily:

"Huailing, I'm sorry."

Deng Huailing looked at the extremely warm Rosie in his arms. He already knew what the other party was apologizing for, and he no longer cared about the other party's lies.Sorry for this moment.

"I did deceive you on purpose," Rosie wrapped her arms around his neck as if afraid of losing, and the shirt draped over her shoulders slipped to her waist, "because I don't want you to step into the muddy waters of the second district. My powerIt hasn’t stabilized so far, maybe someone wiped your neck in your sleep one day, even if you regain the position of leader, there is still a long way to go in the future, I don’t want you to suffer.”

"Don't want me to suffer?" Deng Huailing raised his eyebrows and said jokingly, "Do you think I'm that eight-year-old child? I've grown up enough to fight side by side with you."

"I know you've grown up." Luo hoped that the corners of his lips could not help but curl up slightly as he looked at the little hunter who was showing off his adult status, and then a trace of sadness filled his eyes, "but I don't want you to have any mistakes. I did it once.I dreamed that you waved to me on the other side of a very wide river, then turned around and left, never to return... My intuition has always been very good."

Deng Huailing couldn't help laughing: "Don't be so superstitious, Rosie, it's already the 22nd century. I just don't want to die, one day less life is equal to less sex with you, this business is too loss-making; it's you, don't moveTo die for a noble cause."

Without waiting for Rosie to speak, he put his index finger between the other's lips, "Promise me, take yourself a little more seriously, although the cause of war does require your devotion, but I also need you. I want to be by your side, rather than wandering alone, I would rather go through danger with you, hug and kiss together, lie in the grass in the second district and watch the stars together, we can experience countless wonderful things in the world together...

"But the premise is that we all have to live."

There are boundless emotions in his heart like a sea tide, and Rosie feels a throbbing that is stronger than the desire just now. He thinks that he must be too fragile today, so that his eyes are red again and again in front of Deng Huailing.He blinked hurriedly to let the tears disappear, and grabbed Deng Huailing's fingers.

"But I don't know if I'm the right person for you." Luoxi said softly, "You... are so wonderful, it's like a dream, and I'm ready to wake up anytime. I'm afraidOne day you will find out that I was the wrong choice, and that what you love in your heart is actually Rosie, the perfect android."

He continued unwillingly, "I only met you briefly ten years ago, and I didn't say a few words. Later, it was Rosie who accompanied you and comforted your loneliness. Even if I occasionally appeared, it was just a substitute.He exists. You don't understand what kind of person I am, what kind of past I have, and I can't help but make me think that this kind of love is just an illusion."

Deng Huailing was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "I don't love you because I know you, but I want to know you because I love you."

"Exaggerated words." Rosie muttered softly, but felt that the boulder on her heart became lighter.

"Obviously it is well-founded." Deng Huailing said frankly, "You only need to show a little charm, and it is enough to capture me. You don't need to know so much. This charm is expressed in the program and affects me.The choice and judgment of the program made Rosie a special bionic human, which attracted me. Just imagine, would I like any bionic human mass-produced by CyberRose?"

This assumption successfully made Rosie laugh. He raised his head and kissed the corner of Deng Huailing's lips, causing the other party to pinch his naked waistline to show him to be honest.

"It was just an explanation on the emotional level," Deng Huailing said clearly. "Since you are very concerned about this issue, why not prove it on the logical level. I think Rosie is you, and the reason is very simple."

He stroked the wet corners of Rosie's eyes with his fingers, "If these eyes were replaced with bionic prosthetic eyes, would you still be you?"

"Of course." Rosie nodded.

Deng Huailing's fingertips moved on Rosie's face, slightly downward, "So, the surface of this face is covered with fluid skin?"

"still me."

"Where's the Adam's apple?" The fingers provocatively slid across the jawline and stopped at the throat.

"Don't be a hooligan." Rosie turned her head shyly, realizing the other party's intentions, "The ship of Theseus..."

"Yes, it's the Ship of Theseus. If parts of a ship are gradually replaced until eventually all the parts are replaced, is the ship still the same ship? Most of the cells in the human body are replaced every few years.Will it be updated again, the me ten years ago and the me now are the same 'me'?"

"but……"

"I guess you want to say that even your brain is under program control, so you can't use these examples as an analogy." Deng Huailing observed Rosie's expression, and said clearly, "Then, a railway worker's head was pierced, His temperament has changed drastically due to damage to the frontal cortex, is he the same? Alzheimer's patients, losing memory year after year, is he still the same person?"

Rosie was stumped by a barrage of questions: "...how on earth did you come up with these questions?"

Deng Huailing laughed: "During the days when I found out that Rosie's true identity was you, I had studied this kind of proposition and thought it through long ago. If you are willing to listen, I can ask you a hundred more questions.".So when I said 'you are you', it was a thoughtful answer."

Rosie froze.He didn't expect that when he was depressed and struggling, Deng Huailing would also pay attention to the issues he cared about.Moreover, with the other party's rough personality, I am afraid that he is far from sensitive enough to think about philosophical propositions, but in order to convey to him one day "I have thought about it carefully, and I still like you very much", Deng Huailing went toI checked the information.

"You have many traits, just like when you were an android." Deng Huailing's brown eyes looked at Rosie with tenderness, "You are easily shy, caring for the weak, sometimes cunning, sometimes flamboyant."

"The only difference lies in obedience and disobedience. Maybe it is very comfortable to have a docile bionic person, but I am not a man who wants to control like Robert. I hope my lover is completely independent. You should live as you want, even ifQuarrel with me, and never be my slave."
