Becoming a Confidence Coach to an Arrogant Director - Chapter 28

Chapter 28: Sister, You’re So Pretty Today

Gu Jin came out after washing up and went straight to the bedroom without lingering.

Yuan Yishan, seeing that she had had a tiring day, thought it was best to let her rest and didn’t bother her.

Just as she lay down on the long sofa, the bedroom door opened a crack.

The person standing by the bedroom door in her silk pajamas said in a cold and difficult voice, “Come in.”

Yuan Yishan: ?

Hmm? Is Sister calling me?

Director Gu, seeing no reaction, raised her voice.

“Come in!”

Morale Booster Yuan, hearing the second command, didn’t think much and scurried over on her tiny feet.

She lifted her A.I. chin and faced the person in the doorway, giggling with an innocent expression.

Director Gu let her into the bedroom. On the comfortable bed, there were two quilts, and the boundary was clearly defined. She pointed to the empty space on one side and commanded, “Go and sleep over there!”

The little A.I. looked pleasantly surprised.

“I can really sleep on Sister’s bed?”

Director Gu looked at her with her phoenix eyes, giving her a look that said: If you say another word, I’ll sew your mouth shut.

The A.I. Yuan squeezed onto Director Gu’s bed.

Only then did Director Gu look satisfied. She went around to the other side and lay down gently.

She wasn’t at ease. She really wasn’t at ease leaving her alone outside. Plus, this person had been acting strange just now, introducing the power switch and the chip. What if, like last time, she suddenly lost consciousness and never woke up?

She didn’t dare to think about it. Her body was too tired. In a little while, her consciousness became groggy, but she couldn’t sleep soundly.

Yuan Yishan detected several times that the person next to her would suddenly wake up and reach out to touch the space next to her. Even she, a machine, started to feel uncomfortable.

After Director Gu fell asleep, Morale Booster Yuan went to the bedroom balcony alone to get some fresh night air.

It had been less than a month since she came to this world, but she felt like she had been living here for a long time. Now, if she wanted to go back, it seemed like she couldn’t give up everything here, but in the other world, there were also people she cared about.

Now that malicious programs were deliberately causing trouble, she didn’t know how long she could stay here or if she could ever go back to the real world.

The night was slightly cool. She was truly fed up. Yuan Yishan wondered why she was burdened with all this when she had never maliciously poisoned anyone’s code in the real world.

…

Suddenly, her clothes were tugged from behind.

“Why aren’t you going back to sleep? What are you doing standing here?”

Director Gu’s voice was cold and hoarse, with a slight scratchiness in her throat.

Morale Booster Yuan didn’t turn around. She looked at the cold, dark night sky and tried to use a cheerful tone to suppress the other person’s worry and anxiety.

“I’m awake! Just admiring the stars in the night sky. Why did you suddenly come out, Sister?”

Hearing this, Director Gu was silent for a moment. She awkwardly gave her a hug from behind, her thin chin gently resting on the A.I.’s shoulder. She wanted to comfort her but didn’t know what to say.

“Are you… homesick?”

She tried her best to make her voice sound gentle, but it still came out stiff and mechanical.

The cool night was desolate. The body embracing her A.I. shoulder was thin, and her heart was beating erratically from worry and nervousness.

This shallow embrace seemed to give Yuan Yishan the courage to face everything.

She turned around and hugged her back tightly without saying a word, as if telling her Sister Gu in silent: Home is wherever you are.

Gu Jin was held by a machine. Her two hands were stiff and didn’t know where to rest. In the end, she hesitantly patted the other person’s shoulder.

“Don’t, don’t be sad!”

Morale Booster Yuan, being a machine, just buried her face in her arms. She didn’t activate any human mode. Her A.I. face rubbed against the other person’s body, making her feel itchy. Director Gu then pushed her out of her arms.

“Go back to sleep!”

She pulled A.I. Yuan’s clothes and dragged her into the room, then closed the bedroom balcony door.

Her face, which had been cooled by the wind, looked serious. Director Gu looked at Morale Booster Yuan, who was standing obediently in the room, and threatened, “If you run around again, I’ll shut you down!”

Yuan Yishan: Oh no. Now she has a handle on me. If Director Gu gets drunk again, won’t she shut me down in a matter of minutes and play with me to death?

Gu Jin seemed to see what was going on in this person’s little brain and pointed to the bed next to her, commanding, “Get on the bed and sleep!”

Morale Booster Yuan moved timidly toward the bed.

Director Gu seemed to feel that the threat wasn’t enough and added, “If you think nonsense again, I’ll pull out your chip!”

Yuan Yishan: …

I dug a pit and buried myself. How can we still work well together after this, my dear Sister?

Morale Booster Yuan, who was afraid of having her chip pulled out, climbed onto the bed and obediently closed her eyes.

The control panel detected that Director Gu had gotten onto the other side. The person with her lychee eyes closed playfully lifted her eyelids and secretly peeked at her, teasing her.

Director Gu noticed her little movements and deliberately kept a straight face.

With her mouth, she said, “If you open your eyes again, I’ll pull out your eyelashes too!”

In her mind: This little cutie, how can she be so adorable?

Morale Booster Yuan closed her A.I. eyes tightly again, and the corners of her mouth couldn’t stop curling up. She felt that if she weren’t a machine, she would burst out laughing.

Her Sister Gu was truly adorable. How could she use something as cruel as pulling out eyelashes as a reason to threaten her to sleep well?

Director Gu, influenced by her, also started to feel better. She hid herself under the covers, reached out one hand, grabbed Little Yuan’s sleeve, and held it tightly in her palm. She didn’t turn off the lights and just went to sleep with her head buried in the blanket.

In a few minutes, Yuan Yishan’s control panel showed that Sister Gu had fallen into a light and shallow sleep. Her little face was also showing an obedient sleeping expression. Only then did she climb over and remove the blanket that was covering her head. She lay next to her and observed her carefully.

Yuan Yishan held her A.I. claws in midair and slowly traced the beautiful features of Director Gu’s face.

She’s truly a cold beauty. Even her bones are crisp and clear. This face seems to be even prettier than the electronic face of the little fairy I’m currently wearing.

A beauty like her, if she were in our world, I’d just open up her head, install a chip in it, and there would be no need for a cute A.I. at all.

As Yuan Yishan was thinking, the machine also entered a sweet human dream.

The next morning, the person and the machine were woken up on time by the alarm. The little fairy’s sleeve, which had been held by Director Gu for the entire night, was now wrinkled.

Gu Jin’s slender fingers had also become icy and a little stiff from being outside for a long time. Yuan Yishan used her other A.I. claw to hold them in her palm, turning on the constant temperature mode and gently rubbing them.

Director Gu, who never stayed in bed, was now stubbornly lying in bed.

The machine was also like that. Its innocent lychee eyes slyly stared at Sister Gu, and it started to say some teasing things.

“Sister, were you also artificially made? How can you be so beautiful? You’re making me, a machine, feel inferior! I’m not happy!”

Director Gu lay there motionlessly, her heart already soaring with joy. She had never been praised so openly before. At this moment, with her teasing, her face, neck, and earlobes all started to feel warm.

“You’re a machine. How do you know what’s beautiful?”

The A.I. Yuan’s mouth immediately pouted when she heard her words.

“Of course, I do! Sister, what are you talking about? I’m not a normal machine. I’m very advanced!”

Director Gu once again had the corners of her mouth curl up at the strange words in this machine’s vocabulary. After thinking for a moment, she nodded seriously.

“Mhm, it’s very advanced when it crashes all the time.”

Morale Booster Yuan whimpered and rolled around in bed, like a child who had been fooled by an adult.

“Sister~”

Director Gu looked at her and paused for a second. She also mimicked her tone, giving a dry, flat-toned cooing.

“Advanced machine, can you get up and make me breakfast today?”

Morale Booster Yuan heard her statement and felt that Director Gu was softer and cuter than any delicate little white rabbit. She put her hand on her own A.I. curly hair.

“Pat my head, pat my head, and I’ll make breakfast for Sister!”

Gu Jin thought for a moment and mischievously used her knuckles to mess up the other person’s hair.

The A.I. Yuan was like a little ragdoll cat being petted in the wrong direction. Her sky-blue eyes were filled with a look of enjoyment. She was so obedient that it seemed like you could hear her purring in the next second.

The petted kitten hummed a little tune as she got up to prepare breakfast for her in the kitchen.

Director Gu was in an especially good mood today. After washing up, she spent a long time choosing clothes from her closet and put on some exquisite makeup. She thought of the praise she had just received about her looks.

For the first time, she felt that being a beautiful woman seemed to have its advantages. She had been careless before. From now on, she would apply face masks every night, go to bed on time, and never stay up late again…

“Sister, breakfast is ready. Why aren’t you coming out?”

Morale Booster Yuan was outside knocking on the door. Gu Jin finally powdered her face with some loose powder and blush and slowly got up to open the door.

When the A.I. Yuan opened the door, she said, “Wow, Sister is so pretty today!”

As the praise was said, the system:

[Beep, congratulations, Host. You have fulfilled the programmer morale booster’s ‘flattery’ command and gained 10 satisfaction points.]

This was the first time she had used the programmer morale booster’s built-in command to get satisfaction points from a bound user. As a service-oriented A.I. designed specifically for programmers, she was very proud of herself at this moment.

The fine and smooth millet porridge on the coffee table gave off a fragrant aroma. Director Gu went to the sofa across from her, sat down gracefully, and elegantly picked up a spoon to take a small sip.

“Mhm, the food is good!”

The A.I. Yuan, who was praised, started to imagine again.

‘Beep, congratulations, Host. You have fulfilled the programmer morale booster’s ‘housekeeper’ command and gained your bound user’s approval. Reward: 10 satisfaction points.’

Ho-Ho-Host, the, the, the system just, seems to have a bug. Those 10, 10 points don’t, don’t belong to any of the morale booster’s commands.

Yuan Yishan: ?

Fi-Fi-Fixing, fixing.

Yuan Yishan: Oh no, that malicious point is trying to cause trouble again.

Repairing. Please wait.
