Chapter 395 - 395 Unexpected Visitor
395 Unexpected Visitor
Although Xi Cheng did not know what Huo Tian’s identity was and when they met, he could tell that Huo Tian was very familiar with the boy called Andrew.
This made Xi Cheng feel a sense of crisis. Could that Andrew be another brat who was eyeing his daughter covetously?
Xi Cheng did not dare to reveal his thoughts in front of her, so he probed, “He’s your good friend, right? You didn’t seem to have invited him to your birthday yesterday. Has he left S City?”
Huo Tian was unaware of Xi Cheng’s probing. She thought of her good friend who had been separated from her for more than 100 years and sighed. “My friendship with him was a long time ago. We don’t have each other’s contact details anymore. We probably won’t be able to meet again in the future.”
When Huo Tian talked about the friend who might be separated from her forever, there was no sadness on her face. It seemed like the Andrew Huo Tian knew did not leave too deep an impression in her heart.
Xi Cheng was a little relieved. If Huo Tian developed feelings for that person called Andrew, she would definitely not be as calm as she was now when mentioning this person. It seemed like to Huo Tian, he was just an ordinary friend.
Hence, Xi Cheng was relieved. He changed the topic happily. “Don’t take the people and things from the past to heart. You might meet again in the future.”
Huo Tian thought to herself, (I’ve been separated from Andrew for more than 100 years. How can I meet him again?)
Fortunately, Andrew’s situation was special. Even if Huo Tian was his best friend and closest colleague, he wouldn’t be too sad even after Huo Tian left.
It was because Andrew was a life form that was a combination between a human and a robot. He could write down his feelings for others like how one would code a program. He knew when to be happy and when to be sad, but he couldn’t feel these emotions like a normal person.
Therefore, Huo Tian felt that after she risked her life to carry out the transmigration experiment, Andrew might miss her, but he wouldn’t be sad because of this. In another few years, Andrew would extract all the memories and emotions related to Huo Tian and store them in his memory palace. At that time, Huo Tian’s departure wouldn’t cause any trouble for this old friend anymore.
Perhaps it was because this name from a hundred years later had some influence on Huo Tian’s mood, but she couldn’t let herself rest anymore the day after holding the birthday banquet. Hence, she went to the company’s research and development center with Bi Ying.
They stayed in the laboratory for a while. The staff in the company sent a message to Huo Tian through the smart system in the laboratory. A man named Andrew Cameron had come to visit and wanted to discuss some technical questions with the chief designer and researchers who were in charge of the robotic exoskeleton equipment.
Bi Ying didn’t know Andrew Cameron and thought that this person was also a business partner who had signed an order with the company. Like previous business partners, he also wanted to visit their research and development center to broaden his horizons.
This had happened many times before. Bi Ying said impatiently to the smart assistant in the laboratory, “The research and development center and the laboratory have a lot of classified business secrets and can’t be opened to visitors. Please explain to that gentleman…”
“Wait, don’t be in a hurry to reject him.” Huo Tian spoke up to stop the smart assistant that was about to send the news out. Then, she explained to Bi Ying, “I know this Mr. Andrew Cameron. He also came to my birthday banquet yesterday. Dad specially mentioned him today, saying that he’s a genius in the field of brain neurology and genetic composition. I think we can meet him.”
Bi Ying was a young man with a very unsociable personality. Up to now, the only friend he was close to was Huo Tian. Moreover, because Huo Tian knew Si Huan, he would also occasionally interact with Zhao Feng. Other than that, Bi Ying had never taken the initiative to get close to anyone else. Therefore, he subconsciously felt a sense of rejection for Andrew Cameron, who had taken the initiative to look for them.
