'SEE YOU MORNING' 013 Concentration 《晓欣卿》013专注度
After several days of getting used to daily life at home, the strings in Li Haojun's heart stirred by Sophie seemed to calm down again. He never devoted too much energy to unrealistic fantasies. For him, his efforts and rewards lay in his solar farm. Every day after finishing work at their respective companies with Qin Wenjing, he would retreat to his little corner to work on whatever he pleased.
经过几天熟悉的家中日常生活，李皓珺被苏菲撩动的心弦似乎又恢复了平静。他对不切合实际的幻想从来不投入过多精力，对于他来说精力的投入与回报是在自己的太阳能农场。每天与覃文静处理完各自公司的事情，他就会来到自己的小天地，捣鼓自己想做的事情。
Qin Wenjing felt completely at ease with Li Haojun. Years of companionship and deep trust within her meant she understood and trusted him even more than he did himself. Still, trust could not take the place of company. So as soon as she finished her own work, she would head down to the basement to see what he was up to.
覃文静对这样的李皓珺也是甚为放心，多年的交往，以及她内心深处对他的那份信任，使得覃文静甚至比李皓珺更了解和信任李皓珺。然而信任并不能代替陪伴，所以一旦处理完自己的事情，她就会来地下室参观李皓珺在做什么。
It was the same today. Qin Wenjing walked into the basement and saw Li Haojun assembling something on a workbench.
今天同样，覃文静来到地下室，看见李皓珺正在一个工作台上组装着什么。
"What are you working on, great inventor?" Qin Wenjing asked with a smile.
“做什么呢？大发明家，” 覃文静笑呵呵地问。
"Ugh, don't mention it. This silly robot dog got hit by a car."
“嗐，别提了，这傻狗被车撞了。”
Qin Wenjing stepped closer and recognized the shopping robot dog from a few days ago. It had been in a traffic accident and was now under repair.
覃文静走近一看，正是前几天那个购物机器狗，不知怎么遭遇交通事故，正在维修。
"Why do you spend so much time on a robot dog instead of keeping me company?" Qin Wenjing asked in a reproachful tone.
“你怎么在一条狗身上花这么多时间，也不陪我？” 覃文静责怪地语气问。
Li Haojun looked up at her and teased, "Are you competing with a robot dog for my attention?"
李皓珺抬头看了看她，便取笑她说，“怎么你还跟狗抢么？”
"Yes, I am competing with it. I'm fighting over you, you rascal. Happy now?" Qin Wenjing bantered playfully, pouting and turning her head from side to side to annoy him. She walked around to stand in front of Li Haojun, wanting to sit beside him, but the floor was covered with scattered parts leaving no room. She could only fold her arms and watch from the side.
“啊是啊，我跟狗抢，抢你个臭狗屎，行了吧。” 覃文静俏皮地与李皓珺拌嘴，说着还撅着小嘴儿，头两边扭啊扭地气他。说着覃文静绕到李皓珺跟前，本想坐在他身边。可是看了看满地的零件，也不得近身，只好抱着双肩一边观望。
Seeing this, Li Haojun kicked the parts aside with his foot. He was about to draw close to her when he noticed his dirty hands. He lifted his hands and smelled them, reeking of grease and rust. He could not possibly touch her with hands like these. He then hurried toward the bathroom.
李皓珺见状，用脚趟开地上的零件，刚想亲密接触一下忽然想起满手的污渍，自己抬起手闻了闻，油泥和铁锈的味道，这样怎么好往覃文静身上碰。于是三步并作两步走向卫生间。
Qin Wenjing watched his retreating figure with a bright smile, her heart filled with joy. She stood there gazing in his direction, waiting sweetly.
覃文静看着他的背影，脸上挂着微笑，心里美滋滋的，就站在那里，望着他的方向，甜蜜地等。
Moments later, Li Haojun came back. He wrapped one arm around her waist and the other around her back, pulling her into his embrace. His hands were still a little damp and cold. He stroked her waist and back gently while kissing her neck and earlobes.
一会儿李皓珺回来了，一手搂着她的腰，一手搂着她的背，把覃文静搂在他的怀里，虽然他的手还有点湿，有点凉。一边摸索着她的腰肢后背，一边亲吻她的脖颈耳垂儿。
Such wonderful moments. Yet Qin Wenjing could not understand why Li Haojun insisted on spending his time here rather than staying with her at home. She asked him.
这样的时光多美妙啊，但是覃文静不明白为什么李皓珺非得把时间花在这里，而不是在家中陪着她，于是便问。
"Why do you do all these things? Isn't staying with me nice enough?"
“你为什么要做这些事情呢？陪着我不好吗？”
"I build this so that I can spend more quality time with you."
“我做它就是为了更好地陪着你啊？”
"I don't need a robot dog."
“我不需要机器狗。”
"It won't keep you company. In the future, it can handle all sorts of chores for us, so we will have more time to be together."
“不是它陪你，是以后它可以为我们做很多事情，我们不就有更多的时间在一起了吗？”
"Oh? What can it do exactly?"
“哦，它能做什么呢？”
"For example, running errands and purchasing goods for us."
“比如，替我们跑路，采买物品。”
"Do we really need it to do such things?" Qin Wenjing asked in confusion, wondering if the robot would actually be useful.
“哦，我们真的需要它做这种事吗？” 覃文静不解地问，心想，真的有用吗。
"It can do far more than that. You will find out in time."
“其实它能做的不止这些，以后你就知道了。”
"Alright, you've started keeping secrets from me." Qin Wenjing pointed at the computer monitor. "Are you secretly chatting up other women online behind my back?"
“好吧，你还学会对我保密了，”说着覃文静指了指电脑监视器，“你是不是瞒着我上网泡妞儿呢？”
Li Haojun met her gaze and looked straight into her eyes. "Look at my age and circumstances. The young women I might fancy would never take a liking to me, and those who are interested in me hold no appeal for me. I would never waste my time on them. Having you is more than enough for me."
李皓珺看了看覃文静的眼神，盯着她的眼睛说，“你看我这年纪，这条件，我能看上的小妞儿她看不上我，能看上我的小妞儿我看不上她，我才不跟她们浪费时间，有你我就满足了。”
Qin Wenjing held back her laughter and said nothing, tilting her head up to look at Li Haojun.
覃文静憋着笑，没出声，仰头望着李皓珺。
She wore a white shirt printed with large flowers, featuring sunflower patterns with low color saturation, yellow petals, brown stamens and green leaves. The sheer gauzy fabric was cool and accentuated her figure. She paired it with low-rise blue jeans without a belt, the waistband resting right on her hip bones.
今天她穿了一件白底大花的衬衫，低色彩饱和度的太阳花图案，有黄的花瓣，棕色的花蕊，绿色的叶子，加上朦胧的白纱布料既清凉又显女性身材，下身一条蓝色低腰牛仔裤，没有腰带，裤腰卡在胯骨上。
Li Haojun looked down at her smiling face and gave her a soft kiss on the lips. She kept smiling without a word. He put both arms around her waist and back and kissed her again. She tilted her head back, responding to his kiss while swaying her body gently. She was like a sunflower bathing in the breeze and sunshine of early summer, and Li Haojun was her sun. She drew warmth from his light, thrived under his glow, and bloomed for his attention.
李皓珺低头看着她的笑脸，轻轻亲了一下她的嘴唇，她依然笑着不说话。李皓珺双手搂住她的腰背，再次亲吻她，而她仰着脸，一边配合着李皓珺的亲吻，一边扭动着自己的身体，就像初夏的微风中享受沐浴阳光的太阳花，而李皓珺，就是她的太阳，她因他的阳光而温暖，因他的照耀而成长，也因他的关注而绽放。
Qin Wenjing twisted her body, as if wishing every part of her could be bathed in sunlight. Li Haojun's hands drifted over her like strands of sunlight filtering through flower leaves, roaming across her body.
覃文静扭动着身体，似乎想要自己的每一片叶子得到阳光的温暖，而李皓珺的双手似乎每一缕透过叶子间隙的阳光，游走在她的身上。
Her back, her waist, her shoulders, her hips, her collarbone, her buttocks, her chest, her throbbing heart...
她的背，她的腰，她的肩，她的胯，她的锁骨，她的臀，她的乳房，她的潮湿的心……
After a long passionate kiss, Qin Wenjing reluctantly pulled away. She looked up into Li Haojun's eyes and whispered, "What if some beautiful woman falls for you foolishly?"
一阵热吻之后，覃文静依依不舍地松开他的嘴唇，仰着脸，望着李皓珺的眼睛，轻声问，“要是就有美女瞎了眼看上你了呢？”
"Are you talking about yourself?" Li Haojun asked with a laugh, pulling her tightly into his arms.
“你说你啊？” 李皓珺笑着问，随手把覃文静搂紧在怀里。
"What if a beautiful woman pursues you? What will you do?"
“要是就有美女追求你，你怎么办？”
"Silly girl, I am no longer a child. Would I agree just because someone chases me? I would not even know what kind of person she is."
“傻丫头，我也不是小孩子了，她追我我就同意啊？我连她是什么人都不知道。”
"Then what would it take for you to say yes?" Qin Wenjing drew out her words in a coquettish tone.
“那，得怎么样你才能同意啊？” 覃文静拉长了声音问，娇里娇气的味道。
"Let her chase me for a year first. I need to see if she is a decent and loyal person. I will only consider being with her if she stays faithful for a whole year." Li Haojun said with a grin.
“她先追我一年吧，考察考察她是不是正经人，能不能专一忠诚，一年没给别人用再说跟我谈，” 李皓珺笑着说。
"Hmph, no wonder I am the only woman in your life. No one else could put up with you." Qin Wenjing pouted, yet her heart was filled with delight. Still not satisfied, she kept pressing for answers.
“哼，怪不得你就我一个女人，换一个都不会伺候你。” 覃文静撇了撇嘴，但是心里美滋滋的。想了想还是还不死心，又接着刨根问底地问。
"What if someone who is exactly your type chases you like that? What will you do?"
“那要是真有你喜欢的类型，就这么追你，你怎么办？”
Li Haojun let out a hearty laugh. "Do you think that could ever happen?"
李皓珺呵呵一笑，“你觉得能吗？”
"I am just asking what you would do." Qin Wenjing turned her head sideways, glanced at him coquettishly and smiled. Driven by a woman's natural competitiveness, she insisted on getting a clear answer.
“我就问你，能怎么办？”说完覃文静扭着脸，斜着眼，媚笑着看着李皓珺。也许是女人特有的好胜心吧，她一定要打破砂锅问到底。
"What else could I do?" Li Haojun said helplessly. "I would tell her the truth. I live with you. If she wants to be with me, she has to live with both of us. If she cannot accept that, then I have to turn down her affection."
“那我还能怎么办，” 李皓珺无奈地说，“就告诉她，现状就这样，我和你一起生活，她要跟我，就和咱俩一起生活，她要不乐意，那她的盛情我也接受不了啦。”
"Oh, you are far too greedy! You want both of us to wait on you?" Qin Wenjing exaggerated her surprise, poking his forehead with her finger. "Do you think you are an emperor?"
“嗷，你真是贪心不足啊，还要我俩一起伺候你，”覃文静懊恼地张大嘴夸张地说着，用手指一戳李皓珺的额头，“你以为你是皇帝啊。”
Though she complained, a sweet smile lingered on her cheeks. She knew that as a woman, she had won.
覃文静虽然嘴上埋怨，可是脸颊上却挂着甜蜜的笑。她知道，作为女人，她赢了。
After their intimate moment, Li Haojun took her hand and led her to the computer. He pulled up the surveillance footage of every component and showed it to her.
亲热之后，李皓珺拉着她的手坐到电脑前，调出各个过程监视画面，给她展示说。
"Look here. This is the vision and motion control module for the robot dog. It can also be applied to robotic birds and fish in the future. If we integrate a general intelligent model, it will work for all kinds of robots..." As he spoke, the smile on his face gradually faded.
“你看，这是机器狗视觉，动作控制模块，将来也能用于机器的鸟，鱼，或者加上通用智能模型，也能适用于机器人……”说着，李皓珺刚才脸上的笑容逐渐凝固了。
"What's wrong? Why do you look upset?"
“怎么了，怎么不高兴了？”
"Nothing." Qin Wenjing hesitated for a moment and replied softly.
“没什么，”覃文静犹豫了一下，轻声回答。
"Just speak your mind. What is troubling you?" Li Haojun held her hand and shook it gently, encouraging her to talk.
“有什么事情，你就直说，到底是什么影响到了你？” 李皓珺拉着她的手一边摇一边鼓励她说出原因。
"I was thinking about the past, before you lost your memory."
“我想到了之前，你失忆之前。”
"Oh? Was I building robot dogs or other robots back then?" Li Haojun asked in a light tone, pretending it was no big deal.
“哦？那时候我也做过机器狗吗？或者机器人？李皓珺假装事情无足轻重，用轻快的语气问。
"No. You were working on artificial intelligence projects." After saying this, Qin Wenjing seemed unwilling to delve further into those memories and fell silent.
“没有，那时候你也在做人工智能什么的，”说完，覃文静似乎不愿意回到更多的回忆之中，什么也不说了，也不再去想。
"Don't worry. Working on this won't inevitably lead to what happened before. It may just be a coincidence." Li Haojun composed himself and thought for a while. "The company bans us from using AI robots, but they never said we cannot conduct research on them."
“哦，别担心，不会我做这个就会引发那个必然结果的，也许是巧合。” 李皓珺故作镇定，思考了一下说，“公司不让我们用AI机器人，没说不让我们搞研究啊。”
"That is true." Qin Wenjing replied blankly, looking dull.
“嗯，倒是没有。” 覃文静面无表情，木讷地回答。
Li Haojun put his arm around her shoulders. "Don't be afraid. I will never let that disaster happen again. I will be extra careful."
李皓珺搂过覃文静的肩膀说，“别担心，我不会让那种事再发生的，我会小心的。”
He suddenly thought of another question. "Do either of us have implanted chips in our bodies?"
说完李皓珺似乎想到了什么，问，“你我有没有体内芯片？”
Qin Wenjing did not speak, but nodded. Then she explained, "They are for identity recognition. There are clones living in the quasi-interstellar residential areas. Cloning is not completely unrestricted and is under supervision, yet many companies and organizations possess this technology. Hence the need for identity verification."
覃文静没说话，点了点头，然后解释说，“是身份识别用的，因为准星际居民区可能有克隆人的。当然也不是随便克隆，是有监管的，但是很多公司或者组织都有这种能力，所以要识别身份。”
"Does that mean every intimate moment between us is being monitored?" Li Haojun joked.
“那么是不是我们做爱的时候都在被监听？” 李皓珺打趣地问。
"I don't think so. They only store identity data." Qin Wenjing paused and mused. "But who knows what other functions the chips have. This is the rule here. We enjoy superior working conditions, generous pay and top-tier medical care, but we have to trade away our freedom and privacy. There is no such thing as a free lunch."
“不至于吧，只是身份识别信息。” 覃文静说完又想了想，“也许吧，谁知道芯片还有什么功能呢。这里就是这样的规则，我们有优越的工作环境与报酬，有更好的医疗健康水平，但是也要付出自由与隐私的代价。没有免费的午餐。”
"How did I end up joining this company?" Li Haojun asked, curious about his past.
“当初我是怎么加入这家公司的？” 李皓珺问，说到过去，他很好奇。
"I have no idea." Qin Wenjing thought for a moment and continued. "You came here earlier than I did. I never knew what made you choose this place."
“不知道，”覃文静想了想又接着说，“你比我来得早，我不知道你怎么想的。”
Hearing this, Li Haojun laughed at himself. "I cannot remember my thoughts back then either. Why didn't I follow your example and turn my age from forty-six back to twenty-six?"
李皓珺听她这么说，就自嘲道，“哎呀，我也不记得自己当初怎么想的了，可是怎么不学学你，把自己从46岁变到26岁。”
A smile finally returned to Qin Wenjing's face. "Why not turn yourself all the way back to kindergarten?"
覃文静听他这么说，终于脸上又露出了笑容，说，“你怎么不把自己变回幼儿园？”
"Hmph, that sounds nice. No more work, and I can ask you for pocket money every day. Sister, sister, I want cotton candy." Li Haojun teased her, mimicking a child's clumsy pronunciation.
“哼，也行啊，每天不上班，找你要钱花呗。姐姐，姐姐，我要吃棉花糖，” 李皓珺调侃她，并且装出小孩舌头不会发卷舌音的腔调。
"Call me mom, and I will buy you candy. Say mom." Qin Wenjing was in high spirits and teased him right back.
“叫妈妈才给你买糖吃，叫妈妈。” 覃文静高兴的情绪又上来了，也学着调侃李皓珺。
"Mom, I want can...dy..."
“妈妈，我要吃扎扎……”
"Cut it out, you are just taking advantage of me again." Qin Wenjing laughed and pushed him playfully.
“去你的，又来占我便宜，”覃文静一边说着一边推搡着李皓珺。
Li Haojun still longed to learn more about the past. Seeing her mood lighten, he asked again. "Then how did you come to work for this company?"
李皓珺很想知道过去的事，看她情绪好过来了，就又问她，“那当初你是怎么来这家公司的呢？”
"I met John by chance when I was looking for a job. He was traveling around the West Coast on business at that time. My major was a perfect match for the position. The company offered excellent benefits, but it had strict rules. All employees had to meet the standards for quasi-interstellar citizenship and abide by relevant laws."
“是我在找工作的时候，偶然遇到了约翰，他那时候在西海岸这边跑业务。正好我的专业对口，公司待遇丰厚，就是限制严格，要求达到准星际公民的要求并遵守相关法律。”
"Was it difficult?" Li Haojun asked as he listened.
“这个难吗？” 李皓珺边听边问。
"I passed the review period and qualified. There was another rule too. When some products entered the human trial phase, employees had to participate personally."
“经过审查期，后来我做到了，还有一个要求就是有些产品到达人体试验阶段，员工要亲身参与。”
"Being human guinea pigs?" Li Haojun said bluntly.
“做小白鼠啊！” 李皓珺直言。
"Yes. But these products are all related to life and health. Getting to use them for free ahead of others is a kind of benefit." Qin Wenjing threw herself into Li Haojun's arms coquettishly. "Don't you like me looking young?"
“嗯，但是我们出的都是有关生命健康的产品，能免费先用上也算是福利吧。”说着覃文静故意撒娇扑到李皓珺怀里说，“难道你不喜欢年轻的我么？”
"Of course I do. Why didn't I get the treatment to stay young as well?"
“喜欢啊，诶，怎么我没有也把自己变年轻啊？”
"Because I wanted it!" Qin Wenjing said firmly. Then she put on a sinister expression and tone. "Otherwise, I would sneak medicine into your mouth while you are asleep and say, 'My lord, it is time to take your medicine.'" Her face brightened again with a grin. "I just love mature men. So what?"
“因为我喜欢！” 覃文静斩钉截铁地大声说，然后故意变成阴森恐怖的表情和语气，“要不然，我就等你睡着的时候，偷偷把药灌到你嘴里，然后对你说，大郎，该吃药了。”然后又脸色阴转晴笑着说，“我就喜欢上年纪的老男人，怎么样?!”
Li Haojun laughed loudly. "As long as you like it, I have no complaints."
李皓珺哈哈笑着说，“你喜欢就好，你喜欢就好，我无所谓。”
Li Haojun thought over their conversation and decided not to bring up any more awkward questions. Watching her express her emotions freely, he knew she was happy. Her joy was his joy.
李皓珺思考着覃文静对答的前因后果，不想再问更多煞风景的问题。不过看着她肆意喜怒的样子，李皓珺知道她是开心的，只要她开心就好，似乎她的开心就是他的开心。
