Jinyun shook his head: "No, I don't have that plan."
"I see."
Bronya's pretty face suddenly showed nervousness and uneasiness:
“Bronya… I can’t really help you, but if it’s just simple chores, I’ll do my best.
Please, please let me stay with you, even if you, like those people, please yourself by whipping us and making us scream, it doesn’t matter.”
Bronya couldn't understand why she would say such humble words.
Even if I was whipped all over, I would never say a word, but I was afraid of being abandoned by the person in front of me.
Perhaps it was because she hadn't felt what it was like to be cared for for a long time.
Her past life was filled with endless darkness, but the light emanating from the man in front of her was so warm and bright that it attracted her to embrace and pursue him.
After listening to Bronya's story, Jinyun was shocked for a moment.
The original work did not include Bronya's specific experience during her military training. The relevant settings were automatically supplemented by AI deduction, and Jinyun did not intervene to modify them.
I didn't expect the AI to be so cruel. With just a few words, it portrayed Bronya's life experience so tragically and vividly.
It hurts just to hear it.
"You misunderstood." Jinyun shook his head and said gently, "I mean, we can be friends."
Bronya tilted her head: "...Friends? What is that?"
"look,"
Jinyun lifted up his right trouser leg, revealing a piece of artificial prosthesis:
“The price of an accident is not easy to bear. For a disabled person living alone, many things are not easy to do.
I thought, it would be great if someone could stay and help me.”
Bronya was stunned for a moment.
At this moment, all the emotions that had been worn away by blood and killing until only remnants remained, once again came to life.
She tried hard to imitate Jinyun, and pulled up a smile with the corners of her mouth, which was awkward, weird, but extremely moving:
"Bronya, I still don't know your name?"
"My name is Jinyun."
"...Can I call you Mr. Yun?"
"can."
"Thank you very much for taking me in, Mr. Yun~"
[Bronya's bond value +1000! ]
[Your bond with Bronya has reached "like-minded"]
Bronya had just finished speaking when the prompt sound of AI assistant 02 rang in Jinyun's mind.
At the same time, a series of information pops up on the UI interface:
[Complete the mission: The bond value with two characters reaches the "like-minded" stage]
[Task Reward: 20000 game coins, 1 weapon blind box, 2 lucky potions]
Jinyun thought it was his own illusion, and quickly called up Bronya's status bar:
[Bond value: 1010 (like-minded)]
I dropped a turtle.
This, this bond value is too easy to gain!
Analyze calmly and think carefully...
Well, that's right. A girl like Bronya, who has a miserable life and has never even experienced the care of others, will become addicted to warmth once she tastes it and will never be satisfied.
How does the saying go? Anyone who has seen the light will never be willing to return to the darkness.
Perhaps to Bronya, this little bit of kindness of mine was already seen by her as a light that touched her heart.
This way, I will care about her even more!
"Gululu..."
"Gululu..."
Two "insect sounds" sounded at the same inopportune time.
"Ah, time for dinner."
Jinyun stood up from the recliner, and Bronya immediately stepped forward and supported his left arm.
"I can do this little thing myself."
"Please, please let Bronya help."
"Well, okay~"
With the help of Bronya, Jinyun sat down at the dining table, where a dinner prepared in advance was placed.
After he sat down, Bronya walked to the corner and stood obediently. This move made Jinyun a little strange:
"What are you doing standing there? Why don't you come and eat with us?"
"...I won't be whipped, but will I still be given food?"
"Ok?"
"Bronya has already eaten today. During non-mission periods, the next time you eat, you need to wait until tomorrow to get permission..."
"...What on earth did those beasts do to you?"
No, I should say, this is just a B game where the AI lets itself go.
Even if the original work does not have a detailed description of the content, the adaptation is not random and the detailed description is not nonsense. Jinyun was almost laughing out of anger.
Chapter 22: Sewing Xi Mouwei hard, right?
Jinyun stood up, walked to Bronya with his cane, and stretched out his hand to her:
"Come."
"...?"
Although she didn't quite understand, out of trust in Jinyun, Bronya obediently handed her right hand to him.
Jinyun took her to the seat next to him and asked her to sit down.
Then, he placed another portion of food that he had prepared in advance in front of Bronya.
Dinner was quite filling, with vegetable soup, roasted chicken legs, and cheese mashed potatoes.
These delicacies were not actually expensive, but for Bronya, who had only dry and astringent war rations, bread and water as food most of the time, the dishes before her could be considered a full banquet.
She even felt panic because of this: "Please, are there guests coming? Bronya can find a place to hide..."
Perhaps the dinner she prepared was too sumptuous, and the child didn't think that what was placed in front of her was her portion.
"Bronya." Jinyun turned sideways and rubbed Bronya's soft hair with his hands. "I just said that we are friends, right?"
"Yes......"
"Friends should support each other, take care of each other, and share the good and the bad. In other words, good food should be shared together."
"Yes, really?"
"Yeah, so this is your portion, Bronya. Please eat it, okay?"
"..."
Bronya's light grey eyes brightened at this moment, and her previous uneasiness and fear gradually eased.
She hesitated for a moment and nodded, then picked up the knife and fork and ate the food cautiously.
Even when she was eating, she did not forget to instinctively monitor the surrounding situation during training. Of course, what she noticed the most was Jinyun's expression.
Jinyun had to guess that if he showed the slightest dissatisfaction, the child would immediately stop eating.
Therefore, this meal could not really be called an enjoyment for Bronya.
After finishing the last mouthful of vegetable soup, Bronya put down the empty bowl and touched her belly which was slightly bulging due to eating for the first time. Then she put her hands together and expressed her gratitude to Jinyun:
"I'm full, thank you for your generosity, Mr. Yun."
Jinyun was about to answer when he suddenly noticed some food residue on Bronya's cheek, so he subconsciously reached out to wipe it for her.
However, the moment he raised his right hand, Bronya immediately raised her hands like a frightened deer and crossed them in front of him.
She closed her eyes tightly and bit her lips tightly. Her small body was shaking with fear. The wounds on the parts exposed by her clothes had already formed scars, silently telling of the girl's cruel past.
Jinyun saw it all, and even though he knew that the girl in front of him was just a string of data manipulated by the game code, he still felt his heart aching.
He slowly lowered his hands, opened his arms, and held Bronya in his arms.
Then, he gently placed his hands on Bronya's back, delivering warmth and comfort with gentle pats.
He could feel that the restless little body in his arms was gradually calming down under his comfort.
Gradually, Bronya stopped trembling and rested her little head on Jinyun's chest, her soft silver hair falling like silk.
Their bodies were pressed tightly together, and even if Jinyun didn't say a word, this warm feeling was enough to reach Bronya's heart.
The vigorous heartbeat intertwined with the warm breath to form a harmonious melody.
At this moment, the warmth of the hug transcended the boundaries of words and became the deepest connection between them.
For Bronya, this was more than just a simple gesture, it contained the tenderness and care that she had been missing for the past twelve years, and it also symbolized that she was accepted.
Two lines of crystal hot tears flowed involuntarily from Bronya's eyes, wetting Jinyun's chest.
When he came to his senses, the little girl had fallen asleep in his arms.
Jinyun carefully carried Bronya to the bed in the guest room of the wooden house and covered her with a quilt.
Then, he sat beside the bed and quietly looked at the other person's peaceful sleeping face.
Falling asleep in such a defenseless posture is a big taboo for these trained young soldiers.
It seems that Bronya trusts me very much...
Should we say this is a good thing? After all, this trust is built on a broken body and mind.
Alas, maybe I shouldn’t have imported the original settings. This AI is too self-indulgent.
I've been wanting to complain since a while ago...
Why does the setting of Bronya always give me a familiar feeling?
A bit like a girl whose name starts with "希" and whose hair was rubbed bald...
Afterwards, Jinyun opened the UI interface and slightly accelerated the game time.
Soon, it was dawn.
It was getting light in the east, Jinyun went into the kitchen and asked AI assistant 02 to help make breakfast.
He had just put two breakfasts on the table when he heard a series of low footsteps coming from the guest room.
"Mr. Yun, I'm sorry..."
Bronya dropped her hands in front of her and rubbed her fingers nervously:
"Bronya, I actually fell asleep without your consent."
"It's okay." Jinyun pulled out a chair for her and said, "Come and have breakfast first. You must be hungry."
