TSFLIP Chapter 482

“Ahem… um…” Fengguang quickly pulled her hair out of his hand and said seriously, “A girl’s hair isn’t something you can just touch.”

“Why not?” he asked. This wasn’t something within his realm of knowledge, and he couldn’t understand it.

Fengguang felt it was necessary to give this kid a basic lesson in how to deal with girls. “A girl’s hair, aside from being touched by family, can only be touched by someone she likes. Touching someone’s hair is considered a very intimate gesture.”

“But didn’t you just say you liked me?”

“…Huh?”

“You said looking at me makes you feel incredibly happy inside.”

Fengguang went silent for a moment, silently cursing herself for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. Her eyes darted around before she finally pretended to be troubled. “What should we do now? I heard this planet was taken over by the Zerg, and aside from us, there aren’t any other humans left here. How are we supposed to get off this planet?”

“I have a spaceship.”

“…Huh?” Fengguang looked up—this was the second time she’d made that same confused noise.

The boy smiled. “Did you think I just magically appeared on this planet?”

“Well… having a spaceship is great!” Fengguang instantly perked up and stood up from the ground. “This place is dangerous. We should get out of here as soon as possible.”

Naturally, she reached out her hand to hold his, but when she saw how dirty her hand was, she hesitated—he seemed like a neat freak. Just as she was about to pull her hand back, he placed his left hand gently over hers.

“Come with me,” the boy said.

Fengguang followed him, hand in hand. Since he was shorter than her, she couldn’t help but feel like a little puppy or kitten being led by its owner…

Fengguang stayed tense the whole way, worried that more Zerg would suddenly appear. But nothing unexpected happened, and by the time they reached the spaceship, she finally let out a breath of relief.

The hatch opened, and the boy stepped up the extended staircase to the door, then paused. He turned to her, held out his hand like a gentleman, and smiled. “Welcome to my domain.”

Fengguang wasn’t sure if all boys from the future were this refined, but either way, she was charmed by this pretty-faced kid. She reached out to touch his palm, and he gently clasped her hand.

She thought happily, If only I had a younger brother this gentlemanly…

Once inside the spaceship, she realized it wasn’t what she expected. There were no parents. The only other person was a man.

He wore a black tailcoat and white gloves. Upon seeing her, he politely placed his right hand over his chest and bowed. “Welcome, lovely young lady.”

Being treated with such politeness, Fengguang was both flattered and a bit overwhelmed. “Hello…”

“You don’t need to be so formal. He’s just a robot,” the boy said.

“A robot?”

“I found him in a junkyard and fixed him up when I was bored.”

Fengguang still couldn’t quite believe it. He looked so lifelike—how could he be a robot?

The boy led Fengguang by the hand into a room with a long dining table. The man (robot) soon brought out a spread of delicious dishes and laid them on the table.

Fengguang stared at the man for several seconds and finally noticed a black barcode on his neck. She asked, “What does that barcode mean?”

The boy casually swirled the wine glass in his hand with a relaxed flair that somehow carried an unexpected charm. He smiled and explained, “Artificial life—or non-living things with autonomous movement—have to be registered with a barcode. The barcode proves their identity and ensures they can’t escape their master’s control.”
