Chapter 189 - Chapter 189: Can I Be Your Wife?

To 2B's explanation, Aiden, for a moment, couldn't find any way to refute it. After being stunned for a bit, he made a do as you like gesture to her.

Women bathing is something that takes a lot of time, especially someone as obsessed with cleanliness as Yakor. Moreover, there were three others waiting outside in line.

Who knew how long until Aiden's turn? So he pulled over a chair and sat opposite the three YoRHa artificial girls who had already started chatting softly, resting his chin in hand as he listened to their conversation and admired them.

In this world, there was no such thing as entertainment. But Aiden didn't feel bored, admiring beautiful girls was also a way to pass the time.

No matter where you are, there's probably nothing more pleasant than this kind of way to kill time.

The three artificial human beautiful girls were all YoRHa-type models, and speaking of it, they barely counted as the same model.

Although 2B's real code was 2E Execution Type, in reality she also belonged to the improved model of A2, not to mention 11B, so the appearance of the three artificial human girls wasn't too different. If you didn't look carefully, you really might not be able to tell them apart.

However, although their appearance was about the same, because of personality differences, actually you could directly tell them apart.

Compared to the initial coldness, after spending so many days with Aiden, A2's personality had already changed a lot. She no longer kept a cold face all day like at the beginning, and had gradually become calm and gentle.

And 11B's personality had also changed somewhat. When Aiden first met her, perhaps because she had been thinking of how to escape the Bunker, 11B's personality was a bit gloomy and solitary, always carrying a trace of lingering sorrow on her face. Now, she had become much more cheerful.

As for 2B, when Aiden first met her, his first impression was that he had seen a second A2, always with a cold face, a look of "strangers keep away." Now that it was their second interaction, her personality was still the same.

Even just now when she curiously asked questions, her expression was still cold and indifferent. But because of this, it made Aiden feel she was a bit dumb-cute, or rather, had a gap moe.

Being stared at so intensely by him, the three YoRHa artificial human girls didn't feel anything was wrong. They wouldn't be like certain people in real life who, after being looked at, would say something.

Just like that, some time passed, and Yakor came out. A2, carrying clothes, went in. Not long after, she also came out. Then it was 11B, then 2B, and by the time it was Aiden's turn, it was already midnight.

However, men always shower fast, especially Aiden, who had once served in the military. In just a few minutes, he was done. By the time he came out, A2's hair still hadn't dried.

To be honest, Aiden felt a bit disappointed while showering, because 2B hadn't brought a change of clothes, so naturally, unlike Yakor and the others who changed their underwear, she didn't, so he didn't see anything.

Shaking off the water droplets from his hair that hadn't been wiped dry, Aiden said to 2B, "Now you should go back, right?"

2B was currently listening to Yakor and the others chatting, listening intently. Hearing Aiden's words, she instinctively wanted to refuse, but after noticing A2's gaze was a bit strange, she nodded, then stood up and walked toward the door.

Aiden escorted her all the way to the door. However, when opening the door, Aiden saw 9S standing at the door of 2B's room. He had raised his hand, seemingly about to knock, but when he saw 2B actually coming out from Aiden's room, he was clearly stunned.

"Don't overthink it. She just came over to chat," Aiden explained.

However, 2B had just showered not long ago, her hair still not dry. If this were the human world, no matter what Aiden said, it wouldn't be explainable.

But for the completely unaware 9S, he believed it, and with eyes full of anticipation, he said, "Since that's the case, 2B, then let's chat too."

"Nothing to chat about," 2B said. Because of White's order, she didn't want to interact too much with 9S.

Hearing this, 9S again revealed a hurt expression. His face, which was originally a young boy's, now with this expression, would absolutely make human girls who liked cute boys feel heartache.

But this had no effect on 2B. She didn't say anything, just frowned, then opened the door and walked into her room.

Then, bang, the door was slammed shut. 9S stood at the doorway, wanting to speak but stopped, and finally could only slink back in frustration.

Seeing this scene, Aiden scratched his head, and in the end muttered, "Really strange," and shut the door too.

When Aiden turned around, Yakor was already lying on the sofa, holding that luxurious notebook in her hands, writing and drawing in it. 11B had also returned to her bed, but at the moment she was staring at the ceiling, muttering something.

Aiden curiously leaned over, but 11B suddenly shut her mouth and looked at him warily, so he could only pretend to walk away casually.

After that, Aiden came to the stove and started thinking whether he should make a late-night snack, but after thinking for a while, he gave up and went back to the bedroom.

On the bed in the bedroom, A2, who was only wearing underwear, saw Aiden come over and immediately moved inward a bit, making enough space for him. And after Aiden lay down, she leaned closer to him and then naturally rested in his arms.

Aiden also naturally put his arm around her shoulder, only feeling a bit regretful that he was still wearing gloves, and couldn't feel the texture of the artificial human's bionic skin.

"Aiden, what you said before, were you serious?" At this moment, A2 suddenly asked.

"Why are you asking that?" Aiden was a bit puzzled.

"Aiden, I just want you to answer that question," A2 propped herself up with her elbow, quietly looking at him. This posture she had learned from the memory storage, how a wife talks to her husband, also on the bed.

Looking at A2's extremely serious eyes, Aiden nodded, "Of course I was serious."

"That's good." A2 seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, her body immediately relaxed again, and she lay in Aiden's arms.

"Why are you asking this?" Aiden was still a bit confused.

A2's eyes carried a trace of reminiscence and said, "Do you remember what you said to me when we first met?"

"Let me think… seems like… I remember." Aiden furrowed his brow, trying hard to recall what he had said the first time he met A2.

Meanwhile, in the living room, Yakor put down her notebook and perked up her ears. She knew about some plot developments in this world, but really didn't know what Aiden had said to A2, so she was particularly curious.

"Alright, maybe I can't really remember," Aiden said after thinking for a while. After so long, he really had no impression.

"It's okay if you can't remember. As long as you were serious at the time, that's fine." A2 was curious why Aiden didn't remember, but remembering he once said his memory unit had issues, she didn't dwell on it.

Then she said again, "I remember you once said that in a book from the East you read, if someone was saved, they had to become the savior's wife. So, Aiden, can I be your wife?"

Upon hearing this, before Aiden could react, Yakor had already sat up in agitation, glaring fiercely at A2.

As for Yakor's agitation, Aiden didn't see it. At this moment, he was completely stunned by A2's words. He didn't expect the artificial human girl to be so bold.

But thinking carefully, that's also expected, after all, artificial humans didn't have as strong a sense of shame as humans.

Thinking back, even Jill wasn't this bold. Until Aiden left, she still hadn't expressed her true thoughts.

This is one of the differences between humans and artificial humans.

Looking at the suddenly silent Aiden, A2 had no other thoughts, still full of anticipation, waiting for his answer.

After a while, Aiden tightly hugged A2 and softly said, "Of course you can."

A2 immediately narrowed her eyes. A kind of emotion called joy filled her entire being.

Outside the bedroom, Yakor was so angry she almost ground her teeth to bits, but her personality was very similar to humans. Facing this kind of situation, she ultimately held it in, dejectedly lying back down.

"Hmph, men."

Yakor tried her best not to think about what had just happened, but it was completely impossible. After silently complaining in her heart, she tried hard to close her eyes, but couldn't sleep no matter what, and could only sigh helplessly.

Tonight, for her, was destined to be a sleepless night.

———

Time quickly came to the next day. A2, who had been too excited to sleep most of the night, opened her eyes early. Seeing that Aiden hadn't woken up yet, she carefully slipped out from his arms, got dressed, and left the bedroom.

The reason she got up so early wasn't just because she couldn't sleep, it was because she planned to imitate the daily couple interactions learned from the storage and make breakfast for Aiden. She remembered that in the record, the wife did exactly that. Although she still hadn't learned how to cook.

But as soon as she came out the door, she saw someone already squatting by the stove.

"Yakor…"

Seeing it was Yakor, A2 was immediately filled with disbelief. You must know, Yakor was usually the last to get up. Unless she had something to do outside, she'd normally sleep until Aiden finished cooking before waking.

Yakor noticed the person behind her. Without thinking, she already knew who it was and said without turning around, "Good morning, A2."

"Good morning, Yakor," A2 replied politely.

Then she stepped forward, curiously watching Yakor's actions, and discovered she was making food.

"You can actually cook?" A2 said in surprise.

"What's so strange about that? I can do everything." Yakor smiled slightly. As a special model artificial human, she could be called all-purpose, including combat.

But precisely because she was too special, she usually wouldn't participate in combat, as that would lead to many unpredictable outcomes.

"Then can you teach me?" A2 asked. She was just fretting over not knowing how to cook.

"I'm afraid not. It's not that I'm unwilling to teach you, it's just that as a combat-type artificial human, you don't have a housework system installed, so it's hard to learn. Otherwise, even if you do learn, the taste will probably be very bad." Yakor refused with perfect logic.

What a joke, if she taught her, what would she herself do?

Losing once was already miserable. She didn't want to lose again.

A2 didn't understand the deeper meaning of her words, only hesitated and said, "If I install the housework system, would I be able to learn?"

"Maybe." Yakor didn't give a definite answer.

But she actually understood very well, with the current world situation, artificial humans were basically divided into combat-type and support-type. As for housework-type?

That only existed in the human era. Now that humanity had gone extinct, housework-type artificial humans had long stopped being produced, so-called housework systems naturally didn't exist either.

So she added, "But there's no place on the surface to get a housework system anymore. Maybe the Bunker's database has it, but you… probably won't have the chance."

"The Bunker… okay, I understand." A2 knew very well she probably wouldn't be able to return to the Bunker anymore, let alone get near the most important database.

Only… her eyes began to shine. She wouldn't give up that easily.

———

When Aiden got up, Yakor had already made breakfast. Beside her, A2 and 11B were helping to set the table.

Seeing Aiden come out of the bedroom, A2 paused her hand, just about to say hello, when Yakor said, "Aiden, go wash up first. Everything's ready."

"Thanks, Yakor." Although Aiden was a bit surprised by Yakor's change, he didn't think too much of it. He nodded and went into the bathroom.

A2 tilted her head in confusion watching this scene. Even with her dullness, she noticed Yakor's change was all because of Aiden.

Unfortunately, she might now understand what "liking" was, but she definitely didn't understand what "jealousy" meant. So even after Aiden finished washing and came out, she still didn't figure out what Yakor wanted to do.

"So fragrant... who made this?"

Aiden sat at the table, glanced at A2 who was standing nearby deep in thought, then smelled the soup that 11B placed in front of him and asked in surprise.

"What do you think?" Yakor immediately puffed out her chest.

Seeing it was Yakor, Aiden wasn't surprised anymore. To him, Yakor, who could handcraft anything, being able to cook wasn't strange at all.

Yakor was just extremely dissatisfied with his perfunctory-like response, puffing with anger and said, "Can't you praise me a couple of sentences?"

"Didn't I just say it's very fragrant?" Aiden said.

But Yakor was still dissatisfied, "What else?"

"I'll drink then say." Aiden said as he picked up the spoon, only he was just about to scoop the soup, when the sound of knocking came from outside the door.

"Should be 2B, I'll go open the door." A2 said.
