I, holding a long sword in my hand, only know one move

Only at this moment did Cheng Rang feel that Rick, who had unlocked his heart, looked like his age.

"Do you need my guidance?"

"No need!" Rick sat down in front of the chessboard again with a look of anger on his face and restored it.

Hubby looked at Rick in front of him, hummed softly to express his agreement, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

Cheng Rang couldn't help but feel a little confused.

——The little smile on Hubie's face at this time, can it be faked by calculation and imitation...?

Never mind that.

Cheng Rang spread out Hubi's long black hair, fiddled with it twice and said: "The hair is finally washed and clean, but you haven't washed it yet, Rick? It's so hot here that it can steam people's heads. Are you sure you still have it?" Do you want to continue playing chess here?”

"Eh? It's very fast."

"Don't look at how long we have been here. If we spend any more time, Kelong will worry about you fainting and breaking in."

"Uh... it's indeed possible." Rick's body stiffened as if he had thought of such a scene.

"So quickly take off your clothes and take a shower. Do you want me to help rub your back?"

"don't want."

"Don't refuse in a hurry. This is a good opportunity to enhance brotherhood! Let me be healthy!"

"Stay away from me, you guy!" Rick grabbed the collar of his clothes and stretched out one hand to push Cheng Rang away.

"Oh, are you shy?"

"No, you pervert!"

Hubi, who was kneeling on the ground, tilted his head to watch the fight between the two in front of him, and gathered the hair behind him that had been cleaned by Cheng Rang into the palm of his hand.

"...very clean...thank you...Cheng..."

The two people who stopped because Hubie spoke turned their heads and looked at each other at the same time. Rick asked: "I've been a little concerned about it since just now. Why are you so good at washing girls' hair?"

Cheng Rang blinked hard as if he didn't understand Rick's question, and said with an expression like "Are you right?"

"Huh? So I've told you before that I have a wife, so it's natural that I would have such a method, right?"

Rick: "..."

Cheng Rang: "...?"

"Isn't your wife the knife?"

Cheng Rang twitched the corners of his mouth: "As a warrior, you should treat your weapons like a lover. Does this conflict with me having a gentle and lovely wife?"

"Ah, no...this...I always thought..."

Rick seemed to be embarrassed as if the misunderstanding had been resolved. He kept scratching his cheek with his fingers and his eyes wandered.

when!

The sound of his head being knocked was clear and sweet, and then Rick covered his head and fell to his knees, and his screams were heard through the bathroom door:

"It hurts————!"

Chapter 24 This feeling is called joy

"Rick, what happened to your head!"

When Kelon was delivering food to Rick in the evening, she found him working in front of the desk with a steaming big bag on his head, so he rushed up in panic.

"Um...it's nothing. I slipped while taking a shower."

"...Did you hit the top of your head when you slipped? Is it okay?"

"No, it's okay...it's totally okay!" Rick grinned through gritted teeth, "Speaking of Cheng's work, shouldn't we start making formal arrangements?"

"Hey, well..." Ke Long showed a subtle smile.

In the square, everyone gathers here to talk or laugh and share stories about going out and home life during their free time after a day's work.

Cheng Rang, with a curious Hubi looking on his face, carved out squares on the ground with the children and played a game called "hopscotch".

Laughter and laughter were faintly transmitted into the room through the refraction of the cave rock walls.

"He took care of many jobs at the same time." Ke Long answered like this and took Rick to the square. When he saw the people relaxing here, his face was filled with smiles.

"Accident..."

Rick thought Cheng Rang, apart from joking with others with a nonchalant look, had only one advantage: excellent combat ability.

As a result, all the commissions can be completed with 100% efficiency.

Looking at the guy mingling with the children in the square, there is no reason why his popularity has become so high in such a short period of time...

Rick's opinion

Suddenly it changed.

And the game they were playing just happened to be Hubie's turn. The petite girl's steps were precise and agile, she jumped every square accurately, and turned around to throw the pebbles at the end in the perfect position, causing the children around her to clap their hands and exclaim.

As if enjoying the compliment, Hubie slightly puffed up his chest, and at the same time spotted Rick watching not far away.

The expression on his face seemed to say: Praise me quickly.

Although Rick has been warning himself - that guy is a machine type and can kill humans unconsciously.

They are the same as other races and have trampled on humans countless times so far.

You must not let down your guard, reason is shouting this, all the time.

But, I don’t know why——

The girl who started waving to her from a distance and frequently wanted to show off her superior 'victory results' could not be viewed theoretically at all.

Rick couldn't help it and laughed.

This made Hubi, Cheng Rang and even Ke Long, who noticed Rick's smile, slightly startled.

The person who can smile so sincerely in front of everyone...is he really the guy named Rick?

Simply incredible!

Such Rick was dragged into the game by Cheng Rang who ran over. Lord Rick, who was respected by everyone in the settlement, received the highest courtesy and cheers.

Then he completely lost to Hubie in an upright manner.

Under his "Sure enough" expression, Rick, who had changed several games to play, was undoubtedly crushed by Hubie.

It turns out that Lord Rick also has some areas that he is not good at. This impression also makes people around him feel closer to Rick.

Although Hubie has always resisted communicating more with others, her performance today obviously made her image much taller in the eyes of the children around her.

"That's amazing, Sister Hubie!"

Nonna looked at Hubi, who was slightly taller than her, with admiration. This exchange made Hubi a little overwhelmed.

"...These...are very simple..."

Her amber eyes blinked. Hubie was a little confused about the "increased positive influence" feedback from the body.

It's obviously just the simplest action logic, why do they react like this?

Obviously, there are many differences between the more innocent "hearts" of children and the comprehensive thoughts of adults.

After recording this feedback one by one, Hubi asked Cheng Rang, who had just taken him along with him.

"What does that feel like?"

The girl in front of Cheng Rang gently raised her hand and pressed it on her chest: "...Hmm. The specific sensor feedback sample needs to be named... The initial inference is that it is a certain human emotion...positive emotion." ....”

"When you were praised?"

"...Praise?" She repeated the word.

Cheng Rang smiled and patted Hubi on the head, and said to her: "Amazing, amazing... Hubi is such a good child."

Such behavior.

She was silent for a few seconds and tilted her head.

"...I can't understand..."

"Really?" Cheng Rang was not surprised by this.

"But...to respond to this...what should I do...?"

"This is probably called, happy, happy, joyful. It can all be understood in this way. When it comes to methods, refer more to other people. Use language you can understand. Once there are more samples, you can deduce the results accordingly."

"...will you be happy if you are praised?"

Cheng Rang just shook his head and said: "Not only will you be happy after being praised, but there are many, many behaviors that will make people feel happy and joyful."

"..."

"... Hubie also felt happy in the bathroom before..."

The girl touched the corner of her mouth with her fingertips and read that memory.

"Well, yes, these are all feelings. They are the feelings that can sprout from the interaction between 'heart' and 'heart'."

——Happiness, anger, sadness, joy.

"...These are...'hearts'...?"

Cheng Rang pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then smiled and said: "Rick also said that 'heart' is not a substance, and it cannot be explained in precise words. It has to be felt."

"...The way to feel needs to be known..."

The answer given by Cheng Rang cannot be explained logically——

“Feel it with your heart.”

"...."

Hubie couldn't understand this at all, and corrected him in a slightly more urgent tone: "But Hubie...has no heart..."

He raised his finger to interrupt Hubi's speech, and said calmly to Hubi:

"Hubby, it's not that you don't have a heart, it's just that you haven't analyzed the 'heart' yet."

"...It's not...nothing, but...it hasn't been resolved yet...?"

Cheng Rang nodded and said: "Yes, and these may require something called time to slowly settle and gradually analyze clearly."

"Until Hubby, you find your 'heart' again."

"...Contradiction...Re-finding means loss...Losing...means that Hubi has no heart...it cannot be analyzed

.....”

"Uh..." The smile on Cheng Rang's face stiffened.

It's too early to tell Hubie's various problems.

"You should know these things later."

"...after? Isn't there a definite time point?" Hubie still asked.

Cheng Rang sighed softly and shook his head with a wry smile.

"Unfortunately, Hubby, I can't say for sure..."

"But one day, you'll know."

"......can you?"

"Most definitely."

He replied to himself.

Chapter 25 Black Rain

Living in a place where there is basically no daylight, it is inevitable that the definition of "time" will be blurred, especially for Cheng Rang who has experienced this kind of life alone before.

But with the company of Rick, Hubie, Kelon and others in the settlement, such days will pass quickly without realizing it.

Every day, there would be some commissions that could be done easily. When he was in a good mood, Cheng Rang would occasionally open a small stove for Rick and Ke Long and cook a delicious meal for them to lie on the floor.
