Chapter 23 Smart Egg
"Are you waiting for me?"
Ceres quickly shook her head hard. "No, I'm not."
He knew she was lying.
He did show up because he just did not let her see him. He knew that she came to the balcony at the
same time every day as if she's waiting for him. He did not want to show up, but he could not bear to
keep her waiting, so he came to her anyway.
"Hey, guess. If you guess it right, I will give you the gift I owed you the last time. If you guess wrong,
there will be no gift!"
Ceres tried to break the embarrassment between them.
The masked man just looked at her quietly.
"Who has longer eyelashes, Johny or I?"
"You." The masked man blurted out.
Ceres felt quite boring. "You guessed it right at once. Okay then, I'll give you a unique gift in the world."
Ceres took out an egg-like thing from her pocket and handed it to the masked man.
The masked man looked at the egg in his hand and was puzzled. "Egg!"
"That's not an ordinary egg. It is a smart egg. Because of limited conditions and limited time, and it can
only be made into such a simple appearance. You should hold it gently."
The masked man gently shook the smart egg according to Ceres's instructions. "So, what happens
now?"
When the voice just fell, the smart egg emitted a faint light. "Automatic recognition is successful,
master. I have remembered your voice, body temperature, fingerprints, and the micro-current in your
palm. From now on, you will be my master."
The masked man looked at Ceres.
Ceres seemed to be proud. "Because of the limited time, I can only set a few functions, but I will not
introduce it to you. Just ask it yourself. I'll go back to sleep now. Good night!"
Ceres went back to the room.
The masked man returned to the room with the smart egg, and he wanted to see what functions the
smart egg had. Before he started, the smart egg started the program automatically.
"Mr. Johny, my creator has given me some words to convey to you."
This is Ceres's particular programming. The masked man quietly looked at the glowing smart egg.
"Go ahead."
"The truth is, I truly like you, but I have married Johny. Although he is in a vegetative state, I cannot do
anything to wrong him, so let us get along like ordinary friends."
The masked man smiled. It turned out that Ceres still knew what to do and what not to do…
When the alarm clock rang in the morning, Ceres reached out to turn it off and opened her eyes to see
the date displayed on the mobile phone.
Time passed quickly.
Today was a special day for her.
It was her birthday.
It seemed that after her father went to prison, she came to the Morris's house. Since then, she had
never had a birthday again.
On the Facebook of her mobile phone, she saw the message sent by Alice and Kirs at midnight.
"Happy birthday, Ceres! Although I do not know what happened to you, I am always waiting for you to
come back. You will positively come back, right?" It was from Alice.
"Happy birthday, Ceres! I miss you very much!" Kirs greeted her with these words.
Seeing their messages, Ceres could not help but cry, and some people truly remembered her birthday.
She suddenly got up and thought to herself. "Why don't I give myself a birthday celebration today?"
As usual, she tidied up Johny properly and then began to make birthday cakes for herself when she
was fine in the afternoon. At dinner, she made herself longevity noodles, and she especially left a bowl
and put it in an insulated box for the bodyguard to have supper.
Since she gave the smart egg to the bodyguard, her mind returned to the past. They often chatted on
the balcony or something, as if nothing happened on the Ferris wheel.
The masked man came to the balcony as usual.
"Today is my birthday, and I don't have any friends here. Will you accompany me on my birthday?"
Ceres knew that the masked man would not refuse her.
Ceres faced a difficult problem, namely where to celebrate her birthday?
"It is not appropriate to go to my room, and Johny's room is even more inappropriate. It always feels
awkward to go to the living room. Where can we go?"
"I know a place. Come with me." The masked man said.
What Ceres didn't expect was that the masked man took her to the roof!
It was night, the stars were all over the night sky, and the cool breeze was blowing gently, which was
very pleasant.
Ceres arranged things carefully, she made cake and inserted the candles. After searching for a long
time, she only found such a candle and lit it. She touched the arm of the masked man. "You should sing
me a birthday song."
The masked man said coldly, "I can't sing."
"Cut it out, who can't sing a birthday song? Or don't you want to sing? If you don't want to sing, then I'll
sing by myself. You should wish me a happy birthday!"
The candle flickered, which shone on Ceres's beautiful face. The masked man looked at her quietly,
and the smile on her face was not contaminated with half the filth of the world. She's so innocent, so
clean, and so beautiful. That was probably the cleanest and most innocent smile he had ever seen!
"I want to make a wish!" Ceres pressed his hands to hers, closing her eyes.
She made a wish silently in her heart.
The masked man just looked at her quietly. She was different from all the girls he had met.
Ceres made a good wish and blew out the candle in one breath. Then she took out the prepared
tableware and cut a cake for the masked man. "Here you go, the cake I made is delicious."
They sat side by side on the roof, quietly eating cake under the stars. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
Suddenly Ceres stopped eating. "I haven't had a birthday party like this for over eight years. My father
used to make birthday cakes for me on my birthday, but the birthday cakes he made were not delicious
at all."
Ceres bowed her head and smiled with bitterness in her smile.
She seemed to be talking to herself, "Do you know that? If I hadn't married Johny, today will be the first
time in my life to fly to Britain on the other side of the ocean, learn from Professor Steve, and learn the
most advanced artificial intelligence technology in the world."
She took a long breath and said, "Unfortunately, there is no if."
