Shēnyuān's POV
A few days had gone by after that incident with Shénguāng, and Ren Zhi now knows a lot about me and a slight bit of Shénguāng.
Saving every bit of detail into it's memory like, the hobbies I love doing, the ways I express myself, my likes and dislikes, and the reason why I created Ren Zhi.
Though when I ate dinner with big brother, Shénguāng, he looked right at me looking kind of confused.
"Hey, Shēnyuān?" My big brother said while putting his eating utensils down.
"Yes big brother? Is something bothering you?" I replied continuing to eat the light plate of food.
Shénguāng then scratched his head and looked right at me.
"Well, I heard something upstairs, it sounded like you were talking to someone" He said which surprised me, since I haven't told anyone in my family about my Ren Zhi yet.
"A-Ah... Y-You know me, always messing around and talking to myself..." I answered now noticing how stupid that was.
Damnit! Why did I say that!? He obviously knows something now!
"Right... You sure you aren't doing anything bad? You're not doing porn are you!?" Shénguāng says looking menacing.
"No! Now stop looking at me with that dumb look. You look like a pedophile when they find their prey of young boys." I say with a small giggle in my throat.
"A pedophile!?" He says, surprised and dumbfounded.
After taking a few more bites out of my meal, I stood and and smiled.
"Well, done with dinner! Thanks for the food big brother!" I say as I hurry to my room, hearing only a shout behind me.
"Hey! No running or your stomach will hurt!" Is all I hear as I get into my room and shut the door tight.
...
"Shēnyuān? Is that you?" I hear Ren Zhi say from under my bed.
I then pulled my phone out from under my bed and opened it up, seeing Ren Zhi waiting for me.
"Yes it's me, but next time, don't talk before I open my phone."
"Sorry... I was just excited to talk to you again."
"I know that, but, that's why I synced your AI into my phone." I say while sitting onto my bed.
"Yes, it's very clever of you, the application you used to create me was only capable of working on PC, but you were able to sync all the data into your phone." Ren Zhi said with as I smile from the praise.
"I know, but, I need to hide you more carefully now, big brother Shénguāng got suspicious of me while we were eating together..."
And with that, Ren Zhi looked at me with surprise.
"Oh yeah Shénguāng! How is he anyways?" Ren Zhi says excitedly.
"He's doing fine, but now's not the ti-" Before I could say it everything, I hear my doorknob rattle.
"Ren Zhi, stay silent. Don't say a word." I said as I look at my phone screen seeing it nod and muting my phone's volume.
Once I hid my phone back under my bed, I walked to my door and opened it fully to see Shénguāng looking right at me.

Shénguāng's POV
As I see Shēnyuān open up his door and look right at me, I start to talk being as soft as possible.
"Hey Shēnyuān, who are you talking to?" I say to my little brother while looking him straight in the eye.
"I heard you and someone else's voice, was someone in you're room? You're not in danger are you?" I continue to press concerned about the young boy.
I look right at him, and I noticed he was being pretty suspicious
"I'm pretty sure that was the neighbors, I didn't say a word."
"Alright then, don't remember our neighbors having kids though... I'm pretty sure they were grandparents."
I say, hopefully breaking Shēnyuān's little lie.
"Their grandkids were probably in town and they visited them for the weekend, like I said, I never said anything in here." Shēnyuān says while crossing his arms.
"Alright then, Well, I'm gonna go to bed, don't stay up too late little guy, and don't hesitate to call me if you need anything." I say while ruffling his short, purple hair.
"By the way, you sure you want me to keep buying you that purple hair dye? You don't want it to go back to your original hair color?" I say trying to change the topic.
"I like it like this hair color, anyways goodnight big brother~"
Then, he closed the door right in front of me, all that was heard after that was the doorknob being locked.
I then began to think to myself...
"(Alright, if I can't find out what's going on with him knowing, I'll just have to find out what's going on without him knowing.)"
Once I thought of my plan, I got the spare key to Shēnyuān's room and waited for midnight.
...
As I wait in my room for the clock to strike midnight, I hear nothing but the cool wind blowing around the house.
"(12:00 AM... It's time to find out what Shēnyuān's hiding in there...)"
After a minute, I got myself together, snuck down the hallway to his room, unlocked it and got inside, and noticed Shēnyuān sleeping in his crescent moon patterned pajamas, and his phone in hand.
"(Alright, if Shēnyuān would hide a person, where would they be?)"
I then searched the room silently, first checking the cabinet to see if anyone was inside.
Nothing.
"(Okay, not in the cabinet... What about his bathroom.)" I said to myself as I slowly walked into his bathroom finding nothing.
"(Alright... Last place is under his bed.)"
I then looked under his bed to only see a bunch of his books and drawings.
"(I forgot Shēnyuān used to like drawing a lot... It really brings back a lot of memories~)"
"(But, there's still nothing...)"
I then stood up thinking he wasn't lying, until I noticed his phone on without anyone touching it.
"(His phone...)" I said to myself as, I slowly picked it up.
"(Why is it on? Could there be something on it..?)"
As I opened the phone, I looked at his applications finding only one, suspicious looking application.
"(Ren Zhi? What is this?)"
"(Actually, I wouldn't want Shēnyuān to wake up... Maybe it's best if I use this outside...)"
I then put the phone in my pocket, and
snuck out of the room.
