Chapter 81 – The script

Monday morning came as expected and it was a sunny day.

Perhaps because the dew was sweeter last night, Shen Yu was surprised to see that the marigold and goldfish plants in the yard had grown much taller than yesterday, much faster than Su Zhifu’s potatoes, garlic and spring onions when she woke up in the morning to go to school.

Looking at Asaba Rika, who was so lethargic that he yawned after two steps, Shen Yu asked in an unpleasant manner, “What time did you sleep last night?”

“I… I went to bed at ten!”

“Huh ……”

Shen Yu stared at her for a moment and said, “It seems you really did not lie to me.”

Asaba Rika heart tightened and asked carefully, “What did not lie to you ah ……”

“You said you blush when you lie.”

“I, ah …… I actually went to bed at eleven ……”

Shen Yu looked at her red face and avoided looking at her, and did not poke at her little lie again, obviously yesterday he came upstairs at almost twelve o’clock and saw the light on in her room, if he had not deliberately coughed, she still did not know how late she had stayed up.

But she seems to be staying up later than midnight, so I don’t know what she’s been up to all night.

“It’s not that I don’t trust your ability, it’s mainly because the workload is too big, if you can’t finish the painting, I’ll ask another artworker to help.”

” Shen Yu Please believe me! I’ve tentatively set the script! It’s time to start drawing!”

When she heard Shen Yu’s comment, Asaba Rika hastily refused. She had stayed up late to catch up with the work, and this was a good opportunity for Shen Yu to impress her, so she couldn’t let another girl take her job away.

” Shen Yu is worried about me staying up late, right?” Asaba Rika asked him with a smile.

“Who cares.”

Shen Yu didn’t even look at her as he got on the scooter and put on his helmet. The understanding Asaba Rika immediately ran over to him and sat on the back seat, putting his little arms around his waist and feeling his abs going from soft to hard.

He would always resist the urge to nudge his little finger on his tummy a few times, like a piano, and then get another scolding before settling down.

“Have you changed your band-aid yet?”

“No, Shen Yu posted it very well.”

Shen Yu wants to open her head and see what’s in it. Does it matter if she changes it or not if he posts it well?

“Change it yourself later, it’s more likely to get inflamed if you cover it for too long without air.”

“Oh ……”

As we approach October, the early morning breeze is pleasant to the face.

“I’ll talk about the script, Shen Yu see if you like it.”

When Shen Yu didn’t answer her, she sat herself down in the back of the electric car and moved forward a little so that Shen Yu could hear her, her warm breath blowing on Shen Yu’s neck as she spoke, raising goose bumps.

Shen Yu wanted to throw her down but listened and got interested in the script again ……

“I’ve got the name all figured out, it’s called Azure-2120.”

……

A century in the distant past, the Federation promoted the Eden Project in order to eliminate war.

Humans have built an Eden of artificial intelligence on a deserted island, creating bionic artificial intelligences that are unaware of pain, sorrow, hatred and anger.

With their human-like appearance and bionic bodies, as well as their great intelligence, their mission is to eliminate war between humans.

In a sense, the plan worked.

As the war fades, humanity begins to panic about the AIs and what was once the Garden of Eden becomes a prison for the AIs, which can never leave it, imprisoned under this vault of heaven by a glass envelope.

Arya is a simple, kind-hearted girl with long, beautiful human-like hair and blue eyes who aspires to fly beyond the glass-covered vault of heaven.

She was born in the Garden of Eden, knowing nothing of the outside world or what freedom is.

But that doesn’t stop her from wanting to be ‘human’.

Arya accidentally escapes from the Garden of Eden and enters human society, where she is picked up by a teenager named Lance, who is dying.

Lance was just an ordinary teenager, not exactly well off, except for that one moment when he smiled, clean as the blue sky.

Arya lies to Lance, saying that she is just an ordinary young girl wandering away from the war.

Lance took Arya in and started to look after her.

Arya started a new life with Lance, talking, eating, working, shopping, listening to his childhood stories and singing with him on the rooftops, where the sky was as blue as could be reached without the glass cover.

The days are so full and cosy that even Arya is in a trance that she thinks she is truly human.

The young man, who grew up in a happy environment and has a quiet and gentle personality, gradually falls in love with the damsel in distress as he gets along.

“Arya, do you have a dream?”

“My dream…is probably to live like this, don’t you?”

“I…like you, let’s go out.”

They met, fell in love, and began their relationship with Lance’s confession.

Under the moonlit night, Lance kissed her on the lips, she was a little raw in her movements, but she could already feel a stirring of emotions that did not belong to her.

She has never wanted so much to be a real ‘person’, to be with Lance for the rest of her life, even if it’s just a simple, uncomplicated life.

It just wasn’t good for long.

After the calamity subsided, the Federation began to cleanse the world of artificial intelligence that had infiltrated the human world.

Arya, unwilling to involve Lance, finally confesses the truth to him.

I thought Lance would lose his temper and even hand her over to the Federation, but he didn’t. He just took her in his arms.

It was only then that Arya finally understood what she was torn between – the human word for ‘love’.

Lance takes Arya and sets off on the run.

Surrounded by troops, they had nowhere to run, but even so, he did not abandon Arya and kept her at his back.

Arya ‘hijacked’ Lance so that he wouldn’t be convicted of ‘harbouring’ him, and federal troops opened fire, sending high-powered bullets through her tender skin and shattering her core.

Although, until the end of the story, she does not become ‘human’

Perhaps without escaping from the Garden of Eden, Arya can still dream of the outside world.

It’s the dreams that are the most beautiful things, isn’t it.

But in the end, Arya never regretted her decision to die in his arms.

“Lance …I love you…as a human being…loves you”

“Arya …!”

Lance held her tightly as her functions faded, tears dripping down her forehead.

……

At lunchtime, Shen Yu and Asaba Rika ate together in the canteen.

Because of her hand injury, Rika wanted to cook, but Shen Yu told her not to bother and asked her to take a seat in the dining hall and order two more meals for herself.

It was not until after dinner that Asaba Rika explained to Shen Yu the initial idea of the whole script.

“It’s great. ……”

“Hehehe~ Happy~”

“What’s there to be happy about with such a knife-edge ending ……”

“I’m super good at writing abuse!”

Shen Yu has never written a script, nor can he, and after hearing Asaba Rika’s script idea, he couldn’t help but be impressed by her.

Although many details of the script were not added, he could still feel the power of this script through brainstorming.

If he were to write it, he would kill all his brain cells and not be able to write such a love story.

It must be said that Asaba Rika has an extraordinary talent for creativity.

When God closes a door, he opens a window, and Shen Yu feels that Rika’s road-weariness and foolishness is something to be forgiven.

After hearing the script, Shen Yu and Rika also exchanged ideas.

Lance’ is the player, Arya is the AI, and the core of the game is the day-to-day interaction between the two.

There are many scenarios that can be triggered through chat interaction.

“For example, Lance will take Arya grocery shopping, take her to play with him, cook with him, and plant flowers in the yard with him. ……”

Asaba Rika cites the example with his little finger: “And then all these scenes, I have to make them to be able to do it.”

Shen Yu’s face is odd.

“So what’s your selling point for this script?”

“A teenage girl who is desperate for love, Shen Yu doesn’t think this story is super sweet!”

Sweet, damn it!

It’s only sweet when you get married together, have kids, and have ten or eight!

“The ending has to be changed!”
