Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Big Sis, Do You Like Wise?
"Phew, thank you." As she spoke, Grace got up and checked the position of the bandage. It was handled very carefully, at least she didn't have to worry about it accidentally falling off.
"There's no need to be so polite between us, Grace. And I'm also partly responsible for your injury." Wise looked at the intelligent machine beside him that had just bumped into Grace. At this moment, it also came over with a deep apology.
"You should also apologize to Grace, understand?"
"Mmm-hmm."
The intelligent machine made two "hmm" sounds and then came to Grace. Then, its electronic screen flashed a few times quickly. Wise didn't understand what this meant. After all, the other party hadn't loaded a language module at this time. But Grace had clearly understood.
"Mmm, it's okay. I know you didn't do it on purpose. I'm fine now too, so don't be sad." As she spoke, Grace also reached out and gently stroked the data expression on the intelligent machine's electronic screen. The latter also showed a happy emotion in response.
"Mmm, knowing how to make up for your mistakes and apologize, that's a good child."
Hearing Wise's praise, the intelligent machine seemed even happier. Then, it actually extended its mechanical arm and directly pulled the two of them together for a hug.
"Eh? W-wait a minute!" Grace originally wanted to refuse, but by the time she reacted, she was already pressed against Wise. Because of the intelligent machine, their bodies were tightly embraced together. This feeling of contact, even Grace could not remain calm. The shyness of a young girl filled her heart. As her face turned bright red, her trembling pupils also stared intently at the handsome face in front of her. Her heart was beating violently, as if it were about to jump out of her chest. If one really had to say what that feeling was, perhaps it should be called infatuation. After all, faced with such a gentle, handsome, and personally very strong and outstanding man, any adolescent girl would be infatuated with him, right?
But Grace did not admit this fact. Or rather, she did not dare to admit it. After all, Wise was the person Koleda liked. How could she also fall in love with him? An older sister who snatches her younger sister's man, isn't that a bit too terrible! I have to separate quickly. That kind of unrealistic thought...
"This child is very happy now."
Wise did not lower his head to look at Grace who was pressed against him, but instead turned his head to look at the body of the intelligent machine, while at the same time speaking to divert attention.
"Hm? Y-yes, that's right. After all, even if it's an intelligent machine, its mind is only equivalent to that of a child of a few years old."
Grace was slightly stunned by Wise's words, and then she continued along with what he had said, not saying what she was thinking in her heart just now. After all, this child is so happy right now. If I push them away at this time, it will definitely be very sad. So let's just leave it like this for now. Anyway, Wise doesn't seem to mind.
Thinking of this, Grace was both a little happy and a little lost, because Wise seemed to be completely uninterested in his contact with her. Could it be that my figure is not good enough? Or does Wise just like Koleda's type? In that case, wouldn't I not... ahem, wouldn't I not have to worry about the relationship between Wise and Koleda? (disappointed)
After a while, the intelligent machine seemed to feel that it had hugged enough. It then loosened its mechanical arms and let the two of them go.
"Grace, are there any more experiments you need to do?"
Grace didn't seem to hear what Wise said. She was still lowering her head, as if thinking about something. Seeing this, the latter could only raise his voice and call her again. "Grace?"
"Ah? What's wrong?"
Startled awake, Grace looked at Wise in front of her, her eyes filled with some confusion. Besides that, there seemed to be some other emotions.
"It's nothing. I just wanted to ask if you have any more experiments to do next."
"Oh, that. No need. Let's just stop here for today. Thank you for your hard work."
Hearing this, Wise didn't ask any more questions. After confirming that Grace would be fine on her own, he said goodbye and went to find Koleda. And Grace was still sitting in place, looking at Wise's departing back, and then reached out to touch the bandaged wound on her waist.
Just like that, she sat there for a long time. Then, Koleda suddenly came to her, covered in sweat and panting. It was puzzling. Her stamina was clearly so good, why would she be so tired just from running this short distance within the construction site?
And Grace on this side also sensed Koleda's arrival. But before the other party came in, she smelled a familiar scent. Is this scent from the shorty? No, it should be Wise's. It's very rich, and it seems a little strange? Grace couldn't figure it out. She seemed to have smelled this scent somewhere before, and it was also on Koleda, but she had forgotten when it was.
But at this time, Koleda who had come before her spoke first. "Big sis, why are you still sitting here? Are you thinking about something? Oh, right, how was your chat with Wise just now?"
"With Wise... I-we were just doing experimental research normally! Nothing else happened!" Hearing Koleda's question, Grace suddenly said loudly with some guilt and excitement. And her appearance, in turn, made the former a little confused.
"What do you mean, nothing happened? I just heard from Wise that you seem to like him a lot, big sis, so I came over to ask."
Wh-what? When did I ever say that? Was I that obvious? Wise has already noticed, and he even told the shorty about it! It's over, it's over! My honor as an older sister is probably going to be completely buried from now on! How am I going to face the shorty in the future!
As Grace panicked in her heart, her mind was also in a mess. She didn't notice at all that when Koleda said that sentence just now, her face was slightly red. Naturally, she also didn't realize that she had misunderstood the meaning the other party was expressing.
"What's wrong, big sis? Don't you like Wise?" Koleda was a little worried when she saw Grace lowering her head and not speaking for a long time. Could it be that big sis isn't as satisfied with him as Wise said? Then what should I do? Should I disregard my big sis's feelings and insist on being with Wise?
Just as Koleda was thinking about this, Grace on this side also decided to speak up. "No, Wise is right. I do like him very much."
Since Koleda had already asked her so directly, then she must have been almost certain about it. If she continued to deny it, what kind of older sister would she be?
