Chapter 9: Happy Things

“Hmm?”

Gu Yu, who had grown a bit drowsy while coaxing the child, perked up and snapped back to her senses.

Noticing the cutie in her arms, Gu Yu leaned her side-profile against the headboard with one hand supporting her cheek.

A smile tugged at the corners of her mouth as a sense of achievement washed over her.

She had managed to lower the cutie’s pressure so easily.

‘Am I some kind of psychology soothing genius?’

Gu Yu wondered randomly.

But as the maternal and protective instincts radiating from her heart faded, Gu Yu slowly returned to reality.

‘Wait, this isn’t right.’

‘How did this turn into a family drama? This was supposed to be a romance script.’

“An’an, An’an,” Gu Yu called out softly.

“Mm?”

Su An slowly opened her eyes, which were still blurry with sleep.

She had just had a short dream — very gentle and comfortable.

“Should we… do something happy now?”

Gu Yu asked with a beaming smile.

“Something happy?”

Su An’s little brain short-circuited for a moment, failing to make the connection.

Perhaps she subconsciously believed that Ms. Gu needed a partner for companionship, not an intimacy partner.

In reality, Gu Yu wanted both.

Some people might prefer Platonic Love, but Gu Yu was not one of them.

**[Purity: 100 (Angel on Earth)]**

**[Sexual Knowledge: 20 (Limited Understanding)]**

**[Lewdness: 0 (Pure and Ignorant)]**

Gu Yu didn’t know exactly what level 20 Sexual Knowledge represented, but looking at the three descriptions — Angel on Earth, Pure and Ignorant — she understood a bit more.

She knew that An’an was essentially very innocent.

Of course, she could crank up the values and turn An’an from an Angel on Earth into an Abyssal Succubus in an instant, but she felt it was unnecessary.

The little angel was quite cute as she was.

‘Maybe I can teach her slowly myself, letting the little angel be stained with my own colors bit by bit?’

Gu Yu thought with a hint of excitement.

With her impression of An’an shifted toward that of a pure little angel, Gu Yu was no longer in a hurry to get to the main event.

Since she was a little angel, she naturally had to be nurtured slowly, allowing Gu Yu to enjoy the process of watching her fall.

‘Something happy?’

Su An squinted, still dazed and thinking.

‘Something happy… if I can’t figure it out, then I should think about something scandalous.’

‘Right! Isn’t something happy just masturb…’

Su An suddenly froze and then shook her head.

‘No, it’s not derivatives, it’s d-d…’

‘Wait!’

Su An was suddenly startled.

‘Oh no!’

She immediately rolled over and scrambled away from Gu Yu’s arms.

**[Pressure: 20 → 60 → 80 (Her fear is spreading)]**

**[Affection Level decreased]**

Gu Yu: ???

What was wrong with her now?

Gu Yu smiled helplessly; something had definitely gone wrong.

Everything happened for a reason, so Gu Yu shifted her gaze to the control panel.

**[Personality: Fragile, Sensitive, Dependent]**

So that was it.

Gu Yu discovered the source of the problem and breathed a sigh of relief.

It wasn’t that her little angel had an issue, but that the control panel had inexplicably added these traits to her.

Now that she had identified the problem, the solution was simple.

Gu Yu waved her hand, attempting to delete both “Fragile” and “Sensitive.”

She looked again.

**[Personality: Fragile, Sensitive, Dependent]**

That wasn’t right.

Delete again!

The traits remained.

Gu Yu was dumbfounded.

Seriously?

She couldn’t even change the personality of a doll she bought herself?

How was that fair?

Seeing Ms. Gu freeze in place with a somewhat ugly expression, Su An was suddenly struck by an epiphany:

‘What am I doing?’

‘It’s over, it’s over! She definitely noticed my abnormality!’

‘Is she calling the Abnormal Android Disposal Bureau right now?’

‘It’s over… I shouldn’t have dodged! Even if it means betraying Xiao Ye Zi, still…’

Su An bit her lip.

She didn’t want to be disposed of.

She still wanted to see her Xiao Ye Zi and her Xiao Xue.

She still had so many things left to say…

Su An reached out her hand, trying to redeem the situation, even if it meant sacrificing her chastity as the price.

**[Pressure: 80 → 90 → 91 (She is approaching a breakdown)]**

What was going on?

She really hadn’t done anything!

Now Gu Yu was certain — it was definitely those “Fragile” and “Sensitive” traits causing trouble.

Thinking carefully, it must have been because she spent too much time thinking, which led the fragile and sensitive little angel to doubt whether her master liked her. Yes, that had to be it!

‘If deleting them doesn’t work, can I add more?’

With that thought, Gu Yu added three more words to the panel.

**[Personality: Fragile, Sensitive, Dependent, Strong, Gentle, Sunny]**

That was it!

Gu Yu planned to counter the negative traits.

However…

Being both fragile and strong felt a bit weird, but not *that* weird.

‘It’s no big deal.’

Su An took a deep breath, her eyes filled with a flicker of stubbornness.

**[Pressure: 80 (She is soothing herself; she is strong, but her pressure is like a dark cloud that has yet to dissipate)]**

Gu Yu had just let out half a sigh of relief when she felt speechless again.

She thought it over repeatedly and finally realized where the problem lay:

‘Could it be that “something happy” line from before?’

Before she could delve deeper into the thought, a pair of small hands slowly took hers.

A soft, gentle voice said:

“Master, let’s go. Let’s do something happy together.”

The little angel looked very sunny, as if she were also looking forward to the happy thing.

However…

**[Pressure: 80 → 81]**

“Yes, something happy,” Gu Yu said, testing the waters.

**[Pressure: 81 → 85]**

Gu Yu finally understood.

She gave a helpless smile, wondering just what this sensitive little thing had been imagining.

“Come here.”

As she spoke, Gu Yu took Su An’s soft, boneless left hand and brought it before their eyes.

Under Su An’s confused gaze, Gu Yu unlocked the Smart Wristband, opened the game center, and tapped on a random game.

“This is…”

Su An was slightly stunned.

Gu Yu gave a cool smile, even though her personality wasn’t quite as cold as her voice suggested.

“Naturally, it’s something happy.”

**[Pressure: 85 → 60 → 20 (She feels relieved and ashamed)]**

**[Affection Level increased]**

**[Affection Level: 74 (She feels she misunderstood you; you are a lonely, good person)]**

“Phew.”

Gu Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

She finally managed to get that number down.

A good person?

Er, that felt a bit weird.

Gu Yu had once considered using a forced command to make An’an increase her own Affection Level.

But after a moment’s thought, she didn’t speak.

She simply propped up her cheek, her eyes sparkling with a smile as she watched quietly.

“Can I call you Gu Yu or Sister Gu Yu?”

Su An looked up, her eyes full of anticipation.

She really didn’t want to use a shameful name like “Master” anymore.

“Hmm? Oh, sure.”

Gu Yu couldn’t help but feel her heart melt.

She didn’t know what she was thinking either.

Originally, she had just treated An’an as a toy to vent her desires, yet in this peaceful atmosphere, she had subconsciously forgotten that fact.

She briefly forgot that An’an was an android; it felt as if the two of them were simply close friends waiting to fall asleep together in bed.

**[Affection Level: 74 → 79 (She is only a step away from trusting you)]**

Gu Yu suddenly understood the feelings of those people online who used a Partner-type android to play a Galgame.

Watching her trust and rely on you more and more was a sense of achievement that a naturally maxed Affection Level could never provide.

“Sister Gu Yu, let’s play together.”

The little angel smiled sunnily and gently, reaching out her small hand to invite her.

“All right.”

Su An took off the Smart Wristband and placed the projected panel between them.

“A game from twenty years ago?”

Gu Yu said, surprised.

“Eh? Is it? It seems very interesting.”

“That’s true. Sometimes old games are more fun,” Gu Yu remarked, splitting the panel in two to make it easier to operate.

**[Dual Journey]**

To Su An, playing a game meant for a computer twenty years ago on a wristband in the future felt quite unique.

Her eyes sparkled.

She had been looking forward to this game, which was set to be released in the second half of the year she died, but she never got to play it with Xiao Ye Zi.

Now, she was making up for that regret.

The two of them coordinated with each other.

As they played, Su An felt as if she had traveled through time back to twenty years ago.

She subconsciously mistook Gu Yu for Xiao Ye Zi and leaned her head against Gu Yu’s shoulder.

A long time later, after they finished the game, she finally snapped out of it.

With a soft gasp, she bounced away, her face flushing slightly.

Gu Yu chuckled, checked the time, and let out a yawn.

“It’s time. We should probably get some sleep. Goodnight.”

The room went dark until there was no light left.

Gu Yu’s side was quiet, as if she had already fallen asleep.

Su An’s heart, which had been slightly nervous, finally relaxed.

She had accidentally judged a noble person with her own small-mindedness again.

Shaking her head, Su An noted that the double bed was very large.

She pulled up the covers, tucked herself in, and whispered:

“Goodnight.”

**[Affection Level: 79 → 80 (It seems a small boundary has been broken; the kind-hearted girl has chosen to trust you and may share some of her secrets.)]**
