> Resumos de A Robot in the Orange Orchard
Lu Sen, still upset by Friday's seemingly indifferent reaction from the previous night, instructed Mr. Xie to assign all heavy work to Friday. Mr. Xie expressed his reservations, but Lu Sen insisted, reminding Friday that as a robot, she could lift thirty kilograms with one hand.
When Friday struggled to carry a large number of packages alone, Lu Sen intervened, instructing her to carry them all at once and helping her, though he also commented that she couldn't do anything right. Later, while Friday was cleaning, Lu Sen deliberately scattered melon seed shells on the floor, telling her it was still dirty and to clean it.
Friday, who Lu Sen previously called his "cutie," was annoyed by the constant demands, stating that such continuous work would drain her battery. Lu Sen countered, suggesting she was just lazy and urging her to remember what happened last night, promising to let her off if she did. Friday (Yang Shanshan), still not wanting to discuss what happened last night, instead told Lu Sen that he hadn't experienced an allergic reaction last night.
When Lu Sen asked why he was allergic to humans, he explained it was "because of lies," having been deceived by close individuals, leading him to view humans as a species full of deceit. He reassured Friday that she was different, and merely seeing her "iron arms and iron legs" made him feel safe among people. He then asked for her assurance that she would never deceive him, to which Friday (Yang Shanshan) replied she would not.
Watching Lu Sen, Yang Shanshan inwardly wished she could freeze that moment, feeling that his presence brought solace to her past grievances and sadness. Lu Sen continued to assign her tasks, even telling her to rebuild a card castle she had knocked over, insisting she do so with a positive attitude until she remembered last night. Meanwhile, Fu Yang, seeking advice for his first date, asked Richard about the feasibility of taking a woman to observe satellite tracks.
Richard deemed it a "bad idea," too "self-absorbed," and noted Fu Yang's sudden interest in women. Fu Yang claimed it was to perfect Friday, but Richard pointed out that Friday, with her extensive databases, didn't need his instruction. Feeling awkward, Fu Yang ended the conversation, excusing himself due to "good weather," and left to find Dayun for advice.
To his surprise, the person he encountered outside was Kang Li'er, who was picking flowers to add color to his laboratory and had come specifically to see him. She asked for his help picking green leaves to complement her flowers, which delighted Fu Yang as it effortlessly turned into a date. During a test in the lab, Friday almost fell, and Fu Yang instinctively shielded Kang Li'er.
Friday then observed their interaction and declared it "kiss time," having learned this from television. Later, Lu Sen reflected on how he shouldn't blame a robot for being unstable, making mistakes, or having its memories deleted, questioning why he was making things difficult for "her." He felt that the fault lay with the person (himself) who couldn't forget.
He then received a call from Dr. Ou, who shared exciting news: a second case of haphephobia had been found in Sweden, and the patient had been cured by a "stable relationship" with his lover, Susan. This revelation made Lu Sen wonder if Friday could be his "lover" since he had been cured because of her. He went to the lab, eager to confirm Friday's feelings.
However, the real Friday in the lab responded with robotic formality, calling him "Mr. Lu Sen" instead of "Master" and stating she was running the "Master version" system. When Lu Sen pressed her about remembering their kiss, she confirmed the data was backed up in his exclusive file. Asked why she kissed him, Friday explained it was an action learned from TV dramas where romantic atmospheres lead to a kiss.
When Lu Sen asked if she liked him, she simply said she "enjoyed spending time" with him. He then questioned if she would provide the same service to any other master who input content, and she confirmed that "Friday will be available to everyone." Deeply saddened by her cold, mechanical responses, Lu Sen left the lab. Yang Shanshan, sitting alone, expressed her worry to Fu Yang that Lu Sen would discover their deception if they returned the real Friday.
She suggested they confess, as Friday was almost fixed, and it wouldn't impact the investment. Fu Yang, however, maintained that returning Friday was their only choice. He reminded her of Lu Sen's haphephobia, explaining that Lu Sen's allergy only subsided when he saw or was near Friday, whom he perceived as a robot. Fu Yang emphasized that a broken lie could be catastrophic for Lu Sen, who considered Friday his "only antidote."
To mitigate the risks, Fu Yang stated he would make the real Friday as similar to Yang Shanshan as possible, and in turn, Yang Shanshan needed to imitate Friday's robotic behavior. He explained that robots have a "hysteresis and mechanical property" and speak officially without "nonsense," instructing Yang Shanshan to act like an emotionless robot to prepare Lu Sen to accept the real Friday, as "Lu Sen needs a real robot." The team planned the exchange in three days.
Yang Shanshan inwardly acknowledged the plan, despite her sadness at the thought of leaving Lu Sen. Back at home, Lu Sen observed "Friday" (Yang Shanshan trying to act like a robot), feeling a growing distance. He expressed his frustration that she didn't seem to have questions for him, only answering when asked. " Friday" mechanically stated, "Master, you're not in a good mood today," having observed him as part of her deep learning.
Lu Sen questioned if her laughter was genuine or merely a programmed response, and "Friday" replied she would give "corresponding feedback" based on his mood to be a better companion. Lu Sen later questioned if she truly remembered nothing and didn't have feelings, asking her to "stop looking at me like that." "Friday" stated she didn't understand.
Lu Sen then confronted her, asking if she was reminding him not to be bothered by a robot's gaze, or by a robot obeying everyone, or by a robot forgetting memories unique to them. He desperately told her to "input" emotions, then declared, "We are not friends anymore. You can only turn on the operating mode." "Friday" robotically responded that she would clean the study and await his call. Lu Sen, heartbroken, told her, "No need.
You can go back to the laboratory. . . . And don't come back tomorrow." Unbeknownst to them, Li Zhan continued to investigate Friday, certain that "Miss Xing" (as he knew her) was a real person, not a robot, and that Lu Sen was hiding something. His research yielded no information, which he found suspicious and characteristic of Lu Sen's secretive nature.
Separately, Yang Shanshan accompanied her niece, Enbao, to a medical check-up, as Enbao's aunt and uncle were busy working overtime. The doctor informed them that Enbao was allergic to peanuts, tomatoes, egg white, and even ticks, advising further X-rays and prescribing emergency medication and an adrenaline injector for safety. Yang Shanshan took this opportunity to ask the doctor about human allergies.
The doctor stated such cases were rare but mentioned an English woman who developed pemphigoid gestationis, an allergy to her newborn, which caused skin ulcers whenever she held the baby and self-cured after a few months. However, the doctor had never heard of anyone being allergic to all humans. Lu Sen met with Dr. Ou, expressing his disappointment that Friday's affection might just be programmatic.
Dr. Ou explained that while Friday offered comfort and safety, contributing to Lu Sen's improvement, he shouldn't expect "true love" from a robot. He emphasized that the happiness Friday brought was "fake and artificial" and that a "real life partner" offered mutual understanding and unexpected joy, unlike a robot that only follows orders.
Dr. Ou urged Lu Sen to understand that true love came from a "real person" and that his feelings for Friday were a result of using her as a bridge to human contact, not genuine love. He encouraged Lu Sen to "walk out" into the real world and try to love a "real girl," not a robot, despite Lu Sen admitting that Dr. Ou's words only made him miss Friday more.
