Seeing Lai Jiayi snapped, the AI hurriedly wrapped the conversation to the end.
"Okay, that's it, quack! You are ready to play the game starting from tomorrow, at 00:00 -quack."
Lai Jiayi wanted to shout again, but she suppressed it.
"....mn. Let's discuss our chasing plan later. I need to take a bath and eat breakfast first." Lai Jiayi raised and left the bed, heading toward her bathroom.
Her body wobbled a little as she snatched a few clothes and bathed, looking like a soulless corpse.
A pity the dense AI didn't notice any of this and just happily waved his right wing before continued to laze around on Lai Jiayi's bed.
9 a.m
Lai Jiayi finished bathing, and the girl immediately went downstairs to eat breakfast.
She already had a plan to visit her father as the hospital should already open for visitors, maybe since 8 a.m
Just as Lai Jiayi went down the wooden stairs, the cheerful voice of a young girl sounded in the living room downstairs.
"Ah, there you are. Quick, let's eat!" Upon seeing Lai Jiayi, Shan Liang waved her hand energetically. The girl blinked her red cat-like eyes as she called her best friend.
"It's been a while since we ate breakfast together. This will be fun!"
"Yup." Lai Jiayi nodded softly and immediately headed to where Shan Liang was. She took a seat next to the girl.
"Morning, " Lai Jiayi greeted Shan Liang as her eyes wandered around the dining table.
There's already food provided there, but she didn't see Uncle Shan anywhere.
Knowing what Lai Jiayi was searching for, Shan Liang casually said,
"If you're looking for dad, he went to X hospital to see Uncle Lai. He will be back shortly, I think." the girl played with her short hair as she spoke.
Lai Jiayi nodded and just stared at the empty chair in front of her.
"Mn, I see...let's eat first, then?"
Shan Liang seemed to be hungry as well, so with just a nod, the girl started to take the bread toast on another plate and moved it to her plate.
Lai Jiayi also followed Shan Liang once the girl took her bread toast.
The two girls ate silently, considering a table manner that both their father taught them. The dining room was so quiet for a second before a man's voice broke it.
"I'm home…" Uncle Shan climbed the stairs as he said things to himself.
"Uncle is back." Lai Jiayi, who heard the voice, wiped her mouth with a tissue before telling Shan Liang who was biting a piece of bread.
This glutton already ate two up until now.
"Mn, I know." Shan Liang nodded her head carelessly while still munching the bread.
On the other hand, Lai Jiayi, who already finished her breakfast a few minutes ago, slowly raised from her chair while picking up the empty plate.
The girl had just about to run to avoid meeting uncle Shan when coincidentally, Uncle Shan almost collided to her when he approached the dining table.
"Ah...uncle…" Lai Jiayi stepped back and lowered her head.
Somehow she still felt a chill down her spine even around Uncle Shan. Her phobia of men was quite troublesome.
"Eh, Jia. Finish breakfast already?" Uncle Shan saw Jiayi and smiled. He took off his brown jacket as he asked the girl.
"Yes, uncle. I'm going to visit my father after I clean the dishes." Lai Jiayi nodded politely before placing the empty plate on the plate-cleaning machine.
Using this machine, she only needed to put the plate inside and pressed a button. Seconds later, the dish would come out clean and dry.
The machine was located near the dining table, only three steps and you're there already.
Hearing Lai Jiayi mentioning hospital, Uncle Shan suddenly paused a bit.
His face turned a bit dark, and after a few seconds remain silent, he finally opened his mouth, speaking in a low tone of voice,
"You...can't visit your father for the time being."
Lai Jiayi's hand, which was about to put the plate inside the machine, abruptly paused. Her back stiffened and the faint smile on her face vanished.
'I can't visit her father for the time being?'
Lai Jiayi didn't turn around and just asked softly, "...may I know why?"
'Why can't I visit my father??'
